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
Hi All....
mmm Dis I know what you mean - I keep thinking of the people who perished together and with their kids, imagining what their last words were and how scared they must have been - I grew up in the Blue Mountains of NSW and we came close a few times and its the scariest noise and feeling imaginable. Not close to it really up here but the lake has been submerged in smoke and we havnt been able to see 100m most of the weekend. I came home on the train on Friday night from work in the city and went though it on the train line and it was awful. Ok! Phew! I am glad its lovely and cool here too today, sorry you are on no sleep, I hope the boys have some big naps today to make up for it now the heat has gone. I wouldnt mind having all boys either, I say to DH we would be like posh and becks, just poor! (and you too Kris of course!) I wouldnt mind always being the princess!
Kel - Gosh you are copping it huh? Poor DH too - sleeping on a mattress. How are you guys coping? Must be tough trying to keep it together as a couple too when you are so tired all the time. Completely freaks me out too cause we had a hard time when Beau was young and it took us ages to get back on track as a couple. Hopefully you will get some rest soon and feel better about everything. Who is looking after the kids while you are at work?
Mel - Bless Olivia saying I love you!!! Oh I cant wait for the day!! B says it inhis own way, with a big cuddle and a pat on the back and a "awhhh" from him!! Wow at Becca sleeping from 9-6! You must have felt like a new woman! Mmm I think DH is conscious of getting older frankly! His 43rd birthday is on Friday (I am 33 this year) and he doesnt want to be having babies in his fifties I guess! He is ansty to have more (well at least one!)
Us - Had an extremely long work day on Friday (5am til 10pm) and its too freaky coming home up here on the train that late, and people 'forced' me to share my cab with them - I got home and burst into tears! To think I am a big city girl! Beau is changing a lot at the moment which is awesome, he said "mouse" on Saturday and is in love with going on the bus now which he hated before. He bawled for both sleeps on Friday for DH and has done it for every one since...why does he always come up with something every time I go out?????
heys ladies, just popping by to say "g'day". haven't been too well lately but ya get that.
will come back and make proper g'days, read the thread in whole.
i don't get "i love you" yet but I do get smothered in kisses, he likes to kiss both sides of my cheeks for a while in the morning! Also a little parrot - have to be really careful what I say!
Jen - we're close enough to the fires, we're up in the dandenongs and there's a huge risk here - a stone's throw from a wildlife corridor that extends from the south to the north. my heart goes out to everyone affected.
don't forget to leave shopping until friday if you can, and shop @ coles, all profit going to bushfire appeal.
