Everything looked good so we're very excited!! Gosh I'm going to have my hands full thats for sure - hehe. I'm sure they'll all be the best of buddies though! His name is Ethan Michael....
Kel - Good luck getting Lily's sleeping under control...I'm sure it will help when dh is home for a bit...
LOl at the kisses...
Jen - Oh..that's lucky then! At least you don't have that extra pressure - that would be awful. We got an offer in on our house today but it was too low....dodgy people - LOL!
Sorry to hear that Beau was up last night - Oh that would absolutely do my head in if that happened - hehe!
Disgirl - Yeah...I hope it doesn't happen but we'll have to deal if it does! Yes it's extremely frustrating having people come through - although I'm in a pretty good routine keeping it clean now but it's hard on the kids because I'm forever putting they're toys away and none of us can really just relax! It has to be done however!
Good luck with the midwives! I hope Ben doesn't get too sick...
Melissa - Sorry to hear Olivias been a handful! Hope she settles down soon! Wow you mustn't have long until your scan??
Congrats kristie, another boy. Thats fantastic and love the name. My scan is on 14th July...cant wait, although we wont have any names picked out.
Am so tired today and Olivia is still awake in her cot. Shes been in there for an hour. Why wont she go to sleep. At least shes not screaming the house down, so I shouldnt complain. anyway, I'm going to brush my fangs and hopefully hit the sack.
Morning All!
Congratulations Kristie! A beautiful boy! Love his name too!
Looks like your hair will be going grey sooner than you thought with all the testosterone in your house! I have three brothers and its lovely watching them with all their families now they are older too - they are great mates and all work together LOL!
Mel - Glad Olivia's face is nice and clear now - hope she settled for you last night eventually.
Dis - Dont people annoy you like that? Its so super important to you but they are so hopeless! Hope they sort it out for you but - hope its sunny there today again! Yay dry washing!
Us- Ithink beau woke in the night but he settled himself thankgod - I was so tired I didnt really even wake up - he was up at his usual 6am of course, but he is quite happy, he got an xylaphone yesterday and he loves it! Still a whinger of course but not on the grand scale. Did I mention I havn't taken him for his 1yr shots? Im not going to either - or delaying them, i just feel funny about having it done.
Ok better get dressed!
x
Mel, I'm sure that Liv knows you are back at work and that's the prob. Ben went a bit haywire when I went back - it's not easy.
GL with your scan on the 17th - are you going to find out the gender?
Congrats on you new little man Kris!!! Love the name. Y'know, I always thought I'd have three boys! I have a good friend from school who has three boys and they're spaced out about the same as your boys will be. They are the most delightful kids
Jen, yup, it's annoying when people are so blase about things that are really important to you! Grrrr, well hopefully it will all end up okay.
I read in another thread that you weren't getting Beau his 1yr shots. I can totally understand why you wouldn't. I really debated whether or not to get Ben his, but in the end I decided to. I really struggled with the decision though and was really uneasy for about a month afterwards. There's just so much they don't know.
How cute with his little xylaphone! Ben loves anything that makes a noise - of course!
Us, we had an alright night last night. He was awake at 3am, but I think he was cold. I brought him into bed with me and turned his heater on in his room. Put him back to bed in half an hour and he was fine until 6am (making us late again!). Geez it was cold this morning though - 3 degrees when I left for work - brrrrr!
My sister might be having her baby today!!! She has been up all night with bad pains and was going to the hospital this morning. I'm so excited!! She was due yesterday and has been miserable for about a week. I really hope bubba decides to come and meet us all today
Melissa - hope you got some sleep last night...Not to long to wait until you have your scan - how exciting!
Jen - How nice to hear how your brothers get along well! I love hearing that! How cute that he loves his xylophone! Hmmm...your choice with the immunisations...I never really gave it any thought to be honest! Does it affect childcare/kinder/school though?? I thought they had to have immunisations to get in...??
Disgirl - How exciting for your sister - let us know when you find out!
Jen, yep, that's what I'm thinking with Lil and her attachment to me. Unfortunately she is just going to have to learn the hard way when bubs is born. She gets very attached to DH too when he's home for a few days, though not like she is to me. Tonight she let him leave to go to soccer training with out a whine, just watched him walk out the door . Whereas earlier, I went to the toilet and omg!!! It was like I was leaving for a month! She ran as fast as her little legs would carry her to the bathroom and nearly knocked herself out trying to open the door!
LOL at Beau wanting to play in the middle of the night! Lily tries it too, but I won't let her if she's awake at midnight then she just lays there awake with me, there's no playing here!!!
With Beau's shots, you have to go with your heart. I felt a bit funny getting Lily's done this time too, though obviously not enough to stop me, but for you if that feeling jsut tells you not to then the best thing for you is not to do it.
And Kris, with the immunisations, it doesn't affect kindy as such, only the payments you get from the gov't for immunisations. Jen will have to notify whoever that B isn't immunised fully, and will have to keep him away if theres any kind of out break, but he's still allowed to go otherwise.
Disgirl, good to hear your midwife is trying to be flexible for you, good luck getting in.
Lil's got teething rash too. All over her cheeks and under her chin. It's starting up on her chest too from all her drool, even though I'm trying to keep her chest dry....
I sometimes wonder if Lily is cold when she wakes, but she feels warm to touch,and I don't want to overheat her...and yep it's been pretty chilly here lately huh! But the days are sooo beautiful at the moment, I love it!
How exciting about your sis having her bub! I hope it's a quick and non traumatic birth for her!
Melissa, thanks for the sympathy hun. If I could help you I would too, we could take turns catching up on sleep, LOL!! Yeah, stopping the bottles overnight would probably help for us too, but to be honest, I'm just too lazy to do it. I couldn't put up with the sleepless nights I know I'd be in for if I tried. Actually I have tried once before and she just lays awake on me and when I try to put her to bed she cries. We sat like that for two hours before I gave in and gave her the bottle and as soon as she finished it she was dead to the world. Tried again the next night and the same thing happened, so I just gave up...as I said too lazy to do it!!
Sorry to hear Olivia isn't sleeping so well. I hope she does tonight for you.
Kris, YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!! Congrats on your little man!!!! How exciting for you hun!! At least you won't have to buy him anything new, LOL! And it's great to hear that he's healthy. I love his name. I wanted Ethan for our little man, but DH won't have it....we're still trying to decide on a name!
As for us, we have had a pretty good day. Lily only woke once last night!! And DH got up to her. Wooohooo! Although I was up til 12.30 in tears over stupid stuff! These damn hormones are going to drive me insane. So I didn't actually get to sleep all that well anyway! Then Lily came knocking on my door at 7.30...she knows if our bedroom door is closed then one or the other of us is asleep in there and will come knocking, especially if it's me!!
We met a doula today, well she's a student at the moment, but she was really lovely. I think it will be such a great help for us to have her at our birth. Especially if it's as long as Lily's was. And since it's just DH and I there, it will be good for him to have support too. She had her bub with her too and Lily was fascinated with her! But then when I gave her a cuddle it was another story! She cried and whinged until I gave the baby back and picked her up! I'm really hoping that its not an indication of how she will be, but I wouldn't doubt it.
Hi ya everybody....
While Beau is happy upturning all his shoe boxes I thought i would jump on!
Kris - My friend (who moved from Byron Bay - no further explination needed!) didnt vaccinate her kids and now they are at 'big school' - she has a letter from her doc and has had no problems so far with them not being alowed to do anything, as Kel says, if there is a chicken pox outbreak etc I would keep him home. I emailed my GP about it but she was pro injections surprisingly and wouldnt split them so I have left it at that. Its funny but my friend form Byron said she would have lost all her friends there if she immunised her kids! How bizarre! They were so opposed to it up there- how judgemental is that tho?
Kel - I understand you not wanting to rock the boat even more with Lil and her waking and you being so tired with pg. Thats great you are having a doula, she should be an enormous help, we had doula training for beau but DH didnt want a stranger there for the birth, but i am sorry i didnt now it was so hellish! How funny Lil and her jealousy of her bubba! She will get over it quickly anyway when your bub arrives.
Dis - All the best for your sis! Let us know what she has and the name of course! brrr 3 degrees! OMG! We have a heater in Beaus room that regulates the temp, so i feel ok leaving it on - but still I go in there and its a stuffy furnace or stone cold! he lasts about 2 mins under his blankets!
Us - Well I have a marathon day sleeper on my hands atm - 3 1/2 hours yesterday - whats up with that? 3 hrs the day before - I think his teething is making him tired - but he stil goes to bed at 6:30pm and wakes at 5:30am - cant keep him down later than that.
Ok he is over his toys better skat
