Oh I did sleep and the housework fairy never came!!! I'd better clean.
Kel, I forgot to say that a doula will be fantastic, especially with you aprhensions from your last birth. Good luck I found a student midwife so shes tagging along.
G'day!
Beau is sooo cranky - fully blue-lip crying when he cant have any camembert! He wouldnt eat his tea as dad gave him some just before it GRRRR! Im buggered, been cleaning and re merchandising the house all day, mowed the lawn and swept up, etc etc plus inside - when Beau does have long sleeps I dont exactly rest! just trying to make tomorrow morning easier on us! He has a nice shiner on one side of his face from a fall against the skirting board yesterday which looks horrible too! Poor lamb.
Kris, I dont know how you do it with 2 and PG, I have had to do quite a few with Beau and that in itself is a nightmare! Good luck to both of us tomorrow - fingers crossed xxxx Hope Dylans snotty nose gets better! Is it from his dip in the drum at the farm?
Mel - Sympathies on the constipation - pity the best rememdy you cant have when PG, a strong coffee! Does decaf do the same trick I wonder? My GP prescribed Senakot which worked well too. Its over the counter. Good on you for having a lay down! Screw the housework!
One question - Beau has worked out how to pull the non slip mat up off the plug now (which covered it) - anyone know any Beau proof pulgs out there?
We have wine as DH has been paid today so I am getting drunk (sorry PG girls....uh which is basically everyone!) - hi to everyone else !

Jen - Not sure about the plugs...Louis got to a point where he kept pulling it out so we just let it drain (as long as he was basically washed) and he cut his own bath short...didn't go down well at all so he soon got out of the habit - LOL!
Sorry to hear Beau is so cranky...I don't think the boys will eat much dinner tonight either as we've been picking at stuff all arvo...Louis helped make dinner - pizza! So cute...Dylan's just piked in finally on the couch - what timing!!! I knew it would happen though...I'm dreading waking him up for dinner now...
Chances are it's from last week - it was so cold and they got so muddy and dirty - he's also been at gymbaroo and his cousins as well so who knows...it was bound to happen sooner or later...
LOL - My house probably doesn't look half as immaculate as yours - I've given up though - As long as it's tidy and reasonably clean that will do - if you've seen some of the stuff we'd walked through ours is a million times better even when messy! LOL! I had it all clean last week and people came through earlier in the day by appointment and traipsed dirty footprints all over the floor and carpet so I don't bother too much now...
Yeah, Jen thanks rub it in, lol....I would luuuuurrrrve a glass of red wine tonight.
Feeling pretty cr@ppy today. Have had a fever and I've been freezing all day. Really lethargic, achey and sleepy. Poor Lily has just been wandering the house for most of the day. She's well and truely demolished it thats fro sure! She's figured out how to open my clothes drawers and she's dragged half of my clothes out into the lounge room, as well as all of her toys from the toybox. The house looks like a bomb site. I tired to draw with her but she still hasn't gotten the fact that the crayons stay with the paper and they don't go walk about with her, so that was that and the tantrum wasn't worth the effort it took to draw with her in the first place!
Anyway I'm going to laze on the lounge some more and wait for DH to come home.
Kel - sorry to hear your feeling so rotten...I hope you get better soon...LOL at Lily making such a mess - I know when you feel like that it's easier to just let them go if they seem happy!!
Have you tried putting her in the high chair to draw? I still make Louis sit at the table on his booster chair thing so we don't have any issues...It's a good habit as well so that when bubs arrives she can draw happily up there away from baby...
Just a thought...
Well, I am feeling better today, thankgoodness! I had a dreadful night sleep, and yep you guessed it, LIly only woke once at 11.30, had her bottle went back to bed and woke at 7.15!! Of course of all nights for me to feel crappy and restless was the night she slept beautifully!! I just kept on tossing and turning, feeling hot and cold and sore and achey....ugh!!! I hate it when you feel yuck, but don't really have anything like a cold or something. But I went to mums this arvo an whe watched Lily for a few hours and let me rest. I slept for 2hrs!! And Lily woke me up then, otherwise I think I would have slept for longer. But I felt heaps better after that, even came home and washed up, made dinner and cleaned up the rest of this bomb site Lily made yesterday, LOL!
Kris, yep I thought of putting her in her highchair, but only after the tanty she had, LOL! I'm gonna try some finger painting outside tomorrow, that should be fun!
Hope everyone is well and having a lovely weekend!!
We sold our house!!!! Woohoo!!!! Still got to wait for cooling off and finance etc but the contracts have been signed!! Yeah! And the best part is they paid top dollar (or almost) way more than we were expecting!
So settlement is in 90 days on 26th September which means we have to start looking next week for a new place! It will make me about 33 weeks when moving so not tooo bad...
And now I don't have to keep the house clean! Woohoo!
After all that I hope you had a successful day too Jen!
Kel - Sorry to hear you had a rotten sleep - how nice you got an arvo sleep though today...I actually tried to lie down this afternoon and had a bit of a doze but the phone kept ringing and Louis was awake so he kept coming in as well...Will just have to have an early night (I keep saying that but not doing it...so silly)
Finger painting sounds like fun! I can't wait to do some stuff like that with the kids next week now that I don't have to be on edge all the time!
kel, glad you got some rest. You poor thing...big hugs to you. Lets hope Lil sleeps like that all the time
Kristie, congratulations. That was so quick. Are you still thinking of moving to Narree???
Hope you sold your place too Jen.
Me- well Adam made Olivia a toddler bed yesterday, she didnt sleep in it last night coz she got out so he put her matress back in the cot. I went out with my MIL and SIL for dinner, which was really nice and relaxing. By the time I got home Olivia was asleep. She slept til 7ish this morning so am feeling relaxed.
DH is fixing the blocked sewarage pipe today...yuck, but I cant use the toilet, oh no!!! When we had our bathroom renovated the year before last the plumber but the pipe going up hill...stupid....and its been playing up. Unfortunately the plumber has recently fell off a ladder and hurt his back, so dh has to fix it himself ( the plumber is a friend of his).
Anyway, I have to find some motivation to clean, so have a great Sunday
