Oh Mel,
At least she slept today - isn't it frustrating when they are so tired but wont relent? Hopefully it was just a one off - hope you put your feet up while she slept.
Well, we've had miserable bubbas here this afternoon...Louis just isn't eating and Dylan needed to be cuddled the whole time and everytime he coughs he cries etc etc...He's breathing is so laboured I'll really have to keep an eye on him tonight...They're both in bed now but who knows for how long...After I thought Dylan was asleep this morning he was yelling out for me and he fell asleep on me for a nap but otherwise has been up all day which certainly hasn't helped...
Jen - Yeah at packing everything now...I managed to pack a couple of boxes today (somehow?) but the house looks like a pigsty...Oh well - we'll get there! We've still got 24 days to go! Yeah at your birthday on Saturday! Hmmm...yeah a bit of a hard call...especially if dh is going to be busy working on stuff anyway...might be more awkward than anything...what a bugger though! I hope you do some nice things to spoil yourself anyway!
Mel - Glad Olivia had a sleep today! Hopefully she's back in her normal routine now...
Well...I might just chill out for a bit and head to bed early...I have a feeling I'll end up with Dylan in the bed if he's too unsettled...Chat later
Kris - that's what Pip was doing. Eventually we couldn't do anything and he cried himself into exhaustion.
DH took Pip to the docs today, he can't remember what it is but its the same treatment. Pip's off tomorrow and a friend of ours is going to babysit for us which is a huge relief. My boss was giving me strange looks when I came in at lunchtime ... lucky she's from Qld and knows what its like to have bubs and no family support.
Kris - I do hope you get better soon, its not good at all to be ill, let along at this time!
hi everyone,
just wondering if i could maybe join in here?? i think i posted in here about 12 months ago.
i am a SAHM to my 16 month old son. we live on bribie island.
trying for our second baby but it just doesnt seem to be happening
i'm interested in sport, organics, music and the environment.
i see many of you are all pregnant. good work! although i dont think i could imagine having a baby at the same time as this little wrecker. he can be a bit of a full on terror.
Sorry I haven't been posting. I have been keeping up with posts mostly, but by the time I read them, someone is usually crying, or I need a shower or to eat or something like that!
We are doing ok. Things are kinda tough, though MUCH easier with DH home. I have had Mastitis with the really high fevers and aches and pains that comes with it, feeding is pretty tough, and feeding is still really painful besides that with my nipples still pretty sore. Liam is being challenging with his day sleeps now and will not sleep unless he falls asleep on the boob or is in his sling/carrier. I have no idea how to fix that! I have tried patting him in his bed, just leaving him to cry (ugh!!!), burping him, feeding feeding feeding but he just hasn't been sleeping in the day time. Of course, Lily has been having great day sleeps, so while she (and DH) sleep blissfully, I am trying to settle his highness. I do get to rest DH lets me sleep pretty much when ever I can, which is great, but it would be nice to rest with everyone else and be able to play with Lily and DH when we are all rested, kwim?? Though Lil's night sleeps have gone out the window a bit, she's waking several times a night nd is really unsettled and wakes for an hour or more at least once a night. Poor DH is getting about as much sleep as me. I have no idea how I will do it on my own if it doesn't change. We will have to try to change it.....
Anyway enough with the whining....
Greenfern, hello and welcome again, I think I remember you posting before. Good luck with your TTC.
Kaz, I hope Pip is better soon. Lily has been sick for a few weeks now and it's frustrating that she just can't seem to get better. She's had a cough and ear infection for weeks now. And she's been on antibiotics for weeks too. Not to mention the teething, she's been getting her eye teeth for ages too.
Kris, sorry to hear everyone is sick. I hope you are all feeling better. It's been a bit like that here too. Though DH seems to have managed to miss it thankfully.
Mel, Lily is having moments like that too, especially after her afternonn snooze and at about 2am. She will just cry for no apparent reason. We give her panadol or nurofen but half the time it doesn't work, never know what to do!!
Kel - I think at this early stage however you get him to sleep doesn't really matter - as long as he sleeps to give you a break! Both my boys have fallen asleep on the boob at times when they're that little...just try and go with the flow and worry about breaking habits later (that may not develop?) I know how hard it can be with the 2! I'd definitely be trying to get lily's sleeping sorted before dh goes back to work or it's going to do your head in!!
Well...I've had a full on time - spent from 10pm last night until 3pm today at Maroondah Hospital with Dylan..he had croup really badly so they treated him and wouldn't let me go home! Poor little munchkin though - he's much better now...I didn't get much sleep however so had a snooze this arvo luckily and got woken up to dh having cooked dinner and Mum went to the shops and got us a bit of food for tomorrow...
I still feel like crap though and have the worst cough...hopefully I get a good nights sleep tonight to help me get better...Dh had to stay at home with Louis today and I missed him so much...
Anyway...will chat later...

Margaret - by all means, welcome! How's bribie treating you? Do you take your little one down to the beach at all?
Kel - ouch on the mastistis. good DH is there though.
Us - Friend babysat Pip for us today. She didn't find the nappy compartment and had Pip in his "swim nappy" that I keep as an emergency. I'm so grateful to her for doig this!
kazbah - we go down to the passage a lot i go walking along the front there and x always wants a play on one of the many play equipments along there, or a run on the sand (and inevitabley into the water). mad little bloke was the only person in the water the other day he adores it.
kel - ouch on the mastitis. i can only imagine i never had it. but i used to always feed xavier to sleep when he was little. people said it was naughty but it worked and it has turned out to be a huge problem. good luck on sorting the sleeping
kris - sorry to hear that. hopefully your cough eases up on you soon and dylan is ok. lucky you have people trying to help but hey.
crap weather here today so no outside for this one. which will annoy him. have to catch a bus up to near where dp works so we can do shopping together after work. we are down to one car but luckily living on the island means x and i can pretty much walk any where we need to go. and now we are getting the hang of the buses out here too.
so glad that our move is all over. we have spent the last 4 weekends doing things to the old house, so it will be nice to just have a weekend without stressing about it.
