Jen-That was so funny about having to climb onto the playgym to get Beau even funnier about the dress going up?I don?t think I would have that problem as I rarely wear dressers?hoping that the new year brings you a BFP
Mel-How did your xmas go I have never been heavily pregnant at xmas time and I thinki would struggle if I was lol?you must have been doubly exhausted
Kel-damn that your dh had to work over xmas at least you had your mums to go to
Kristie-hope you got threw the 500 plus emails
Melissa-I really feel for you with Olivia?s tantrums?Natasha was the same when she was this age?which is why James is such a blessing lol..Tash would head bang the tiles or wall until she bruised her head or on one occasion until there was blood coming form her head she used to chuck tantrums over anything that was not going her way and did not care where we were....oh it was a tough time?.thankfully now at 4 she no longer bangs her head but still has tantrums there just easier to negotiate with?
Us-we had a good xmas..the kids got spoiled from Santa and my bank account is now at zero not so good?.James is having a nap at the moment , first time all week..everytime i tried to put him down he would just scream until I gave in and got him up..oh I hope he is not dropping his day time nap so soon?I think he is getting his 2 year old molars since I have noticed he is biting on his fingers a lot and having very smelly pooey nappies his sign of teething
Hope you all have a happy new year?OMG I can not believe it is another year gone..
I am still around, just busy!! Happy New Year to you all, I hope you all had a great time last night! I had a very average night, in bed by 10.30!
Well, we are doing ok. Liam and Lil are both well. Lily is having a tough time with bumps and bruises, she's had a serious bump on her head every day for the past week! Yesterday was by far the worst though and had ME in tears!! Poor monkey fell off the dining chair and really smacked her head on the tiles and almost broke her neck! I can still see her doing it in slow motion now...
She is talking non stop, and repeating everything she hears. She got fairies DVD's for christmas and all I hear all day is 'fairh fairh, fairh fairh' and she points to the DVD's on the fridge....I've watched them that many times it's not funny! I already know the songs off by heart. I put one on in the morning, and one on to cook dinner and she pretty much watches them from start to finish, when normally I put on a DVD and she watches all of about 5mins of it.
Ok gotta go....hope you're not too hung over (for those of you who can drink...)
Kel-lol yep I know all to well how it is to watch the same dvd over and over again.....Tash got tinkerbell and i think i have watched almost 10 times already James however is not into tv although if i put the old brum episodes on he will watch that any thing with cars or dogs he is fixed...
Well I hope everyone else had a wonderful new years....I sadly stayed home and got drunk with a group of ladies from another forum..real party goer hey...although i must admit I am not a big new years celebrator....I think I will be around here a lot more now since the other forum I was with have just annoyed me for the final time..everyone here seems so much nicer and friendly anyway I should have realised that a long time a go I am just a little sad that for the past 5 years i have got to know a lot of people and have even became IRL friends with them as well...oh well will happily move onto bigger and better things..ie belly belly
Dont worry Von- I went to a bbq and Olivia got ferral, so the girls and I left at 1030 without daddy. All the way home she screamed for her daddy and Becca cried all the way home too. So I had 2 screaming girls, luckily Olivia was asleep within a few mnutes of going to bed. Gave Becca a feed around 11, watched the start of fireworks on TV and was in bed about 1205!!!! Not much fun, but I didnt mind.
Olivia has been ferral again today....must be getting another molar. Rebecca has been fairly unsettled too, needing/wanting to be held and also feeding 2-3hrly. Shes 6 weeks old so must be going through a growth spurt.
Hello All and a Happy New Year!
Not much to report on the New Years festivities here either....DH and I sat in our back patio room and watched the lake and the fireworks we could see across it at 9:30 and I think we were in bed with earplugs in place by 10:30 too! We were buggered as we have been doing to fence and lots of outside work. I think new years is a bit of a palava too!
Woah Mel, that sounds a pretty horrific drive home, you sound like you handled it well though. Beau has been a little feral too like Olivia, DH is off golfing today and I think he is the worst of course - at least he went down for a nap with no tears. Sounds like Becca is definately having a growth spurt, maybe more chuckles on the other side of it?
Von - I hear you on the not dropping the day sleep, Beau has been crying more and more when I go to put him down for a nap, he had one yesterday but was up til 8:30 last night as a result! I dont understand why people in forums are rude/weird/nasty (of course not this one we are fabulous!) - I have read some things in others occasionally and wondered why people bother if they arent going to support others?
Us - Went to the chemist yesterday to get some Hydrozol for Beau's willy, it has cleared up now and not red anymore, he has had a rash around his shoulders too for a few days, little bumps, it looks like a heat rash so I am not too worried as he hasnt had a temp or anything. They have a nurse at the chemist on Thurdays so I might go see her for some willy cleaning tips!!
Ok I am laying on our daybed that I just finished painting completely veging, I am off to look at my fav home decorating blogs!
We had a REALLY quiet new yrs too. Actually I did nothing different to any other day....in bed early, DH at work...just another day for us!
Von, you did more for New Yrs than me, LOL! Sounds like a good time to me, I owuld have liked to spend the day with freinds.
Sorry to hear you've had a falling out with the girls in the other forum. But spend more time with us here....we're a great bunch!!!!
Mel, yep I've had the both kids screaming car trip home too. It's the worst! Lucky Olivia went to bed easily for you though.
We've had unsettled days on and off here too. Liam sets Lily off and they are both feral some days. But if Lily is in a mood Liam isn't usually set off by her thankfully! Lily has been really clingy though and wants cuddles all day, which is really lovely, but I need to pay Liam attention too! I'm lucky he's pretty easy going though and is quite happy laying in the port a cot and playing with his mobile.
Jen, glad to hear Beau's woodle is ok! I'm worried about Liam's too, I never know if I wash it right, LOL! I've never had to look after a woodle before....hehehe! Lil's got a heat rash on her tummy too, I'm just putting sorbalene on it at some nappy changes and at night and using QV oil in her bath. She got the same thing last summer too and it gets worse on really hot days.
Sounds like you've been a busy girl working on your house! You deserve a rest!!
Well, we have had a quiet few days. DH is working alot lately and I have been struggling a bit with little help from him. He's off for 6 days after a night shift tonight though, so I'm hanging for a break!
Ok gotta go I think my princess is awake...hope everyone is well.
Hey Kel thanks for the tips regarding the heat rash, I will let you know any "woodle" info when I get it! Mmm two screaming kids in a car....makes me kinda glad I dont drive
...although i must admit I am not a big new years celebrator....I think I will be around here a lot more now since the other forum I was with have just annoyed me for the final time..everyone here seems so much nicer and friendly anyway I should have realised that a long time a go I am just a little sad that for the past 5 years i have got to know a lot of people and have even became IRL friends with them as well...oh well will happily move onto bigger and better things..ie belly belly
