Hello new faces!!! Welcome We are a friendly bunch so I hope you feel comfy and happy chatting with us.
Mako, how scary for you with your little escapee! That feeling of horror is just about unbeatable. So glad he was safe and happy outside. Celeste managed to open the door by pushing hard enough till the latch opened. Luckily I was just hanging washing under the verandah but she toppled out and bumped down the step. (I was hoping to get it done and back inside before she noticed I slipped out) Scary how far they can go so quickly though. She is very interested in the gate and latch too so I worry she will let herself out soon
Lenny, I still get a surprise occasionally when I see C coming in from the other room, walking. I guess she crawled for so long i expect to see it. So much easier being outside now that the ground is damp. Trouble is she wont let me hold her hand and when we go places she is all over the place. Went out yesterday and had to put her cute backpack leash thingy on her. Still all over the place and not going where I wanted her to but at least not far!!
Nothing exciting to report here. C and I both have yucky cough/nose colds. Missing swimming, mum's group, playing squash, kindergym etc because of it this week so pretty boring really!
Sazz May I ask where you bought your little backpack leash thingy from? I'm thinking about getting 1 for Sage as he likes to walk everywhere but I refuse to let him when we are out most of the time as he has no sense of direction and he won't let me hold his hand for long either. I always swore I'd never buy a harness or leash type thing for my kids lo as I remember clear as day telling MY mum that "I could walk myself" one day when she had 1 on me l. How things change
Lenny Yep Sage was very pleased with himself when I found him...Cheeky little monkey lol.
Well, you wouldn't believe it! After DD having gastro 2 weeks ago, then hurting her neck which resulted in another 2 days off school, she ended up with Gastro AGAIN late Monday night This is after I had it Friday, and had to call DH and ask him to come home from work (he has worked 2 days the last fornight, not including this week) as I couldn't go any longer than 20 minutes before needing to be sick again. THEN, DS came down with it over the weekend, and DH and I ended up having an arguement as to what to do with him. DH didn't want to take him to the local hospital, but wanted to drive 2 hours and go straight to the private hospital. I said we would be better off getting him assessed locally, and if need be they would get the chopper out to transfer us if he needed.
So in the end i called 13health, who told me to go to the hospital, so I called them, and they said to keep him home, what we were doing was fine, and to call them if he got worse during the night and they would unlock the doors to let us in. He was going red in the face while he was vomiting and kept throwing his head back as well. I ended up in tears watching him, and poor DH was just about the same i think. We managed to get him checked out by a Dr on Monday, who did a very thorough check up and said he was fine. DS stopped vomiting Sunday night, but then started up again early Monday morning. I've had about 12 hours sleep since saturday, and am so very tired. Finally have DS down for a nap, so am going to have my first shower since he chucked up all over me on Sunday.
Sorry for my lack of personals, I have been reading really quickly when I can. hello to all the new mummies joining us.
BW - I noticed another thread of yours about Samuel. Hope the Dr's appointment today is a helpful one for you all
Mako, it was a gift but I have seen them online at bambini pronto for about $35. They don't have the full range of characters though. We have a dog. If you know DD at all you would assume we have the dog.... she LOVES her dogs. We have two and they are both called Jemma at the moment ALL dogs are called Jemma apparently!
OMG poor you Nic. I hope you are all on lthe mend and getting some decent sleep now!!! You've had more than your share.
Celeste and I have had a cold for over a week now. I am sooooo over coughing. I will be happy if I never cough again in my life. ! C is doing well though considering she fell on the concrete yesterday and has a graze on her nose/nostril area which makes it sore for her with nose wiping. Today she stacked it again and has little cut on her eyebrow, an egg and a bruised cheek. I am embarrassed to take her out with all her injuries!!
I am officially TTC again. I booked on yesterday for another frosty cycle. Praying like mad cause we only have one left - please thaw frostie!!!!! Have booked for a review appt in 8weeks if worse comes to worse and we need to stim again... AAAArrrgh am I ready to go through it all again so soon after feb???
Good luck, Sazz. I hope that embryo thaws and the FET is successful. I really struggle with the idea of going through another stim cycle ever again, so I admire anyone who can actually go back and do it all over again.
Yep, Sam's been quite sick this week. We thought it was just teething, but turns out it's RSV and bronchiolitis and the poor little guy has been struggling for breath all week and wheezing quite horribly. He's improving now, but I'm going through the stress of trying to get him to drink more... he's dropped from getting through 240mL in one sitting to going through about half of that. Feeding him more often doesn't seem to help... and who ever claimed that bottle feeding just poured the milk down a baby's throat so they have no choice but to swallow hasn't ever tried to feed my son!
Yay Welcome BG!!!! Soooooo good to see you in here finally hunni. Glad you have DH home for a while and great to hear Miss Emerald is settling in and you are going great guns at your new "Mum" position.
Will try to liven things up in here again... I think we have all fallen asleep
C is well again and has stopped the never ending clumsies that come with being sick. I was afraid to take her in public for all the bumps, lumps, grazes and bruises she had for a while there. Poor thing had a fat lip, egg head and nose graze all within 24hours. mending now.
I am going for my transfer on monday which, conveniently, is a public holiday so DH can come without losing work or arrousing suspicions! Hooray!
Celeste has learned a new sign "baby". I taught her cause my friend and SIL are both having babies this week. Went to visit my new niece yesterday but C had performance anxiety and wouldnt do the sign. She does it AALL the time at home.
She has started a new thing lately. When I'm changing her she will run through and list the members of the family. At least that's what I think she's doing. SHe says/signs: Mum, Dad, baby, and Molly and Jemma (the dogs) so I'm assuming she thinks of herself as a baby still. I guess she is the smallest/youngest person she knows. Except for the new cousin now. I think that's pretty interesting and clever!
Willow, Hope your little man's leg is on the mend now.
BW, How is poor Sam? Hope he is breathing easier. Such a worry for you!
Nic, hope everyone in your house is well again finally. You have had a rough trot. Getting some sleep I hope.
Mako, did you get your "leash"? I have seeen some super cute new designs recently online somewhere.
We are a friendly bunch so I hope you feel comfy and happy chatting with us.
