I am back! No time for personals or to catch up with posts. We had a godd time in Adelaide, though the weather was extreme, 46 degrees the first day we got there! Due to the weather we couldn't really do what we really wanted to, but had a good time anyway.
Liam is sitting and doing a catterpillar crawly thing, so cute! i start work this arvo, I'm excited, nervous and worried about leaving my little man for 4hours! I have never left him more than about an hour! And I only managed to express half a bottle.... Oh well, it's ONLY 4 hours....eek, my baby!
Lily is cheekier than ever, and is now saying 'MINE!' , OOOhhhhh, terrible 2's here we come! She has been sleeping really well while we were away, but I think it was because we all slept together. DH and I dragged the mattresses off the beds and put them on the loungeroom floor cause the ac was in there and it was just waaayyy too hot to sleep in the bedrooms! So lily slept like an angel! But made up for it last nigt....
Ok gotta go, hope every one is well!
Hello All....
Mmm much cooler here today...I even have leggings on, nice change after all the sweating! Everything is good here, Beau has been pretty settled the last few days, he is obsessed with the three yr old boy next door! He has sworn a lot to me imiating his dad though so I am not that keen on him playing with him! He has white blond curls and is always naked, he looks like an angel but isnt! Everytime we are outside he has his head over the fence so it is unavoidable!
Kel - Glad you survuved the heat and still had a good time, sounds like Lil enjoyed the sleeping arrangements! Hope work was ok and separation from Liam was bareable. Beau says "Mine" too - I have consciously not said it to him ever..where do they get it from???
Kris- Hey I hope you are getting some more sleep with Ethan now- you all sound well, dont blame you not keeping up with much! How are you coping with all the washing? I only have B and I wash EVERY day!
Dis - Hope you have survived without DH the last few days and your mum has been a good help. Bless her coming to stay with you! I think Beau has been a little better with his shyness too - love little Ben, he is probbaly so glad to be the centre of attention now if he can, he will play with anyone who will play with him! Good on little Jared having such big sleeps for you!
Us - I think I am ovulating a few days after I think I really am, DH just wants to do it whenever and just get pregnant boy or girl! Needless to say we had a spontaneous DTD on Sunday after O...could be another little Beau on our hands he he
xxx
Dang it is quiet round these parts......
Have had a horror of a day with Beau, we went to playgroup this morning for the first time this year and he had his shy face on which was Ok, but after his nap he did his semi-usual crying for about an hour after he woke up pooey....then was just a massive grump/clingon for the rest of the night and being naughty!!!! Agghh!!! Am working all day tomorrow so DH is going to have him all day.......ok my rant is over! There was a little 4wk old premmie boy at playgroup and it made me think of all the little bubbas in here! Ooohh he was so cute!
HEllo hello....tis quiet in here, I suppose everyone is busy with bubs and niceish weather!
Jen- happy O day...hope you got lots of DTD in!!! So, DH is happy for either.....is he just clucky now? Have a great day at work.
Kel; glad you had a nice time away, shame it was too hot. Always good to get away though. Hows Lil going with her sleep? And Liam?
Hey Kristie- hows it going with Ethan? He must be keeping you busy as we dont see much of you around. Must catch up again soon.
Has anyone seen Kaz and Von?
Mel- hows it going with Jared>?
Us-we had agreat night sleep, Becca slept from 9pm to 6 and is back to sleep. Olivias day sleeps are still up the putt, yesterday she slept on our walk and woke up grumpy. Shes probably had 3 sleeps in the past 2 weeks. If she sleeps during the day now, she isnt tired til about 9pm, if she doesnt I struggle to keep her awake and she goes to bed 7pm if I can hold her out. Thats if she doesnt fall asleep at the table! Shes doing great with her words, stringing together3 to 4 words at a time. She has a huge vocab and now shes spontaniously telling us she loves us. It melts my heart. Shes constantly singing too...and squealing!!! Ok better go feed her some breakfast
Kris, so good to hear from you! How did Louis go with kinder? Did your heart break when he went in, being so grown up and all? I'm sending off Ben's kinder application next week and it's already killing me...and he won't be going for another year yet
Kel, Geez, it's been bloody hot down in Adelaide. You poor thing! Glad you decided to stay indoors as much as possible. I can't imagine taking a bub out in this heat. It's not much better up here today, and tomorrow is going to be even worse
Jen, have fun DTD! Craig is keen for a girl next time, so we might have to be a bit more controlled about when we DTD. I don't mind, I'd be happy with three boys, but he was a little princess, who will no doubt have him wrapped around her little finger!
Urgh on the infatuation with the little boy next door. Would be much better if he was a good kid huh? We have a little girl next door to us who is obsessed with Ben and he just couldn't care less about her The poor little thing!
Mel, I can't believe Liv has given up day sleeps! That would kill me! How long does she sleep for at night? Ben only sleeps 9-10hrs so he definitely needs a long day sleep.
We've been good. Well, apart from my migraine on Thursday night - just after mum left! Grrrr... Craig had to stay home from work to help with the boys as I was good for nothing except being a cow and then going back to bed. Jared's poo has been green since, so I'm not sure if it was the panadol or something about the migraine that stuffed him up. Wasn't even worth taking the panadol since it does nothing!
Ben has been great. We can get nothing past him anymore, he doesn't miss a thing. He even knows Craig's routine. On Tuesdays, Craig works a second job and it's the only weekday where he'll come home and have a beer. Ben decided to help last Tuesday and when Craig got home, he went to the fridge, got out a beer and took it to his daddy! Not good with glass bottles, but still very cute! It's amazing how much they take in right now!
Gotta go, I have a lovely home-made hamburger waiting for me
Well, it's been a while since I posted. Time managment has never been one of my strong points! And now I'm working and studying again, it's proving difficult to keep up with it all! Must admit not much studying or house work has been going on....I'm only working 3hrs(away for about 4) but it's still thrown our little routine out the window! Plus I'm trying to make up for the time I'm away with the kids (damn mummy guilt!). Work is ok, been a bit bored to be honest, that'll teach me to take a lesser position!
Kids are good, they've both had a bit of a cold, but nothing major. Lily's sleep is out the window still. She's driving us insane. I don't know what to do. It has gotten a bit worse since I've started working too, so that makes me feel even ****tier about working. It's a double edged sword...She cried so much she spewed in her bed last night. We let her cry for 2mins then go in try to resettle her and go in after 2mins...usually she goes to sleep after 2-3 times going in, but last night she was sooo worked up. DH got her up and she was shaking and so beside herself. He let her go to sleep on the lounge with him then put her into his bed (a mattress on the floor in our room). She wanted me to sleep with her so I got in with her until she went to sleep and then went to bed myself with Liam at about 8.30! I'm just so over it all and it's wearing me down.
Sorry no personals today, I have stuff to do while lil sleeps before work!
Hope everyone is well.
Kel, do you think Lily is affected by the heat with her sleep? We reckon that's why Ben is having such a rough time getting himself to sleep. His room is the only one that doesn't really get the cold air from the aircon. Poor little munchkin had a shocker last night - as did Jared. I'm living on no sleep today! Thank goodness for this cooler air and tomorrow is going to be downright chilly - woohoo!
Jen, I hope you guys aren't too close to the fires up there.
Are you Melbourne girls close to any of those devastated areas? It's so horrible I can't even begin to imagine how hard it will be for those close-knit towns to pick up from this tragedy
