Hello there.....
It is quiet hey Dis? I didnt want to post one after the other so I was waiting LOL!
Glad Jared is having only 1 feed a night - must mean you are getting some nicer stretches of sleep now. Dont worry, Beau has always been bigger than everyone else, he weighs as much as the three year olds at playgroup. DH's families babies are all light weights, but all my brothers are rugby players
We are hanging in, I had a scary morning with Beau, he has had a runny nose the last day and this morning seemed ok so we went to the shops, mistake! He cried the whole time and was really lethargic and floppy. So I went to the chemist and got him some neurofen and made it home in one peice, about an hour later and he seems much better - wanting to play and eat again. I havnt used Nurofen before, always panadol, but it seemed to work much better for him.
Apart from that, nothing too exciting! Just got some clothes from the US delivered that I ordered, and did a little parade for Beau before he went down - just some cheapie stuff but its nice to have some new things! YAY! Seem to be making some friends at playgroup which is awesome and have been drawing up plans for our house reno's so we are here to stay it seems!
Hope everyone is doing great x
We went away for the long weekend for a family holiday to Walkerville which is down the coast about 2 hours from Melbourne near Wilsons prom. We stayed at Adams brothers holiday house. It was great fun. Went walking and to the beach...we all got sunburnt and the wind chill was frezzing. Olivia jumped straight into the sea, fully clothed. Shes such a water girl.
Rebeccas been good, she rolled on Friday from back to front and has been doing it every since!!!
Well, my bath is ready...hope you are all well
How funny's that Mel, we spent the long weekend at Tarra Valley (near Yarram) which was ... interesting ... to say the least.
New camper trailer and we could get Pip to sleep in his end, but he was waking up screaming every night ... 2am Friday night ... 3 am Saturday night ... 4:30am last night. Least we were getting a bit more sleep first! Ended up taking him into bed with us but it meant I froze on the edge of the bed and he stole my pillow. He's pillow-obsessed!!!! Totally obsessed! It was very cute though when he "found" his Charlie (galah) so gave him big kisses on his beak! So cute!
Jen - I found myself saying to Pip "I don't care what you think" cause I'm over-tired most of the time I hate it, wish I could get enough sleep and clean and relax and actually play with him. Ahhh well.
Isn't it cute now that they are communicating with us? Asking what's wrong when they are crying and they can tell us they are "hungry" or "hurts" etc.
anyhows, have a lovely night all, hope you all get a good night's sleep.
Jen, how's Beau? I find Nurofen MUCH better than panadol. Tastes a lot yummier too, panadol is gross. Does Beau gravitate toward the older kids at playgroup? Ben always loves playing with older kids rather than kids his own age. It's a bit of a worry sometimes because they don't realise that he's so much smaller than them!
Mel, sounds like a great weekend. I'm dying to get away, but I'm still working on Craig for Japan next year, so I think I'll try to hold out for that instead than a weekend away. Actually, I'd love both!
Kaz, We went camping in a camper trailer between Chrissy and New Year and Ben had a shocking night one night. I hate thinking that you're going to wake up the rest of the campground! I ended up taking him for a drive that night because I couldn't stand it anymore. Very fun when you're 8.5 months preggas, unfamiliar with the area and it's 3am!
The communication now is SO much better. Every time Ben uses a sentence Craig and I break into silly little grins. It's amazing watching them develop. Ben's still having trouble with some sounds though - he can't even say his name properly - he's "Nen". Strange since he can say Ball, Bounce and a bunch of other 'B' words. I guess we'll just have to keep trying.
We went to the nurse again this morning for Jared's 6-8 week check. He's even more of chunk now - 6.2kgs! Ben didn't weigh that until he was 3.5 months old... Jared is only seven weeks! I won't be able to carry him if he keeps gaining at this rate
Hi Girls,
Still got a sick bubba here - he is a bit better (always when DH comes home!!) - I am still using the Nuerofen Dis, although its tough getting it in there!! Beau kind of does go for the older ones, although the little boy the same age as Beau always kicks him so I think thats why he steers clear! They (the older ones) like Beau cause he is the same size but i dont think they can work out why he isnt as advanced as them Glad Jared is doing so well weight wise, I have been carrying B the past few days as he wont walk anywhere! My back is killing me! How cute that Ben is saying sentences!
Kaz - Oh I am sure I say the equivalent of that, if not that exactly, especially the past few days!!
Mel - Yay at going away! Hope you had a nice break, congrats on Becca rolling!
I hope Beau improves tomorrow - I need to get out of the house, but after Monday's episode I am spooked about going out with him not being 100%....
Anyway good nite xxx
Oh Mel, I forgot to say congrats on Becca rolling! What a clever little girl
Jen, I hope Beau is feeling better soon. Is it a coldy kinda thing or a bug? You probably said earlier, but I'm lucky if I can remember my own name most days!
I hate carrying Ben now. After carrying a bub half his weight, it sure is a change!
We went to an indoor play area this morning and I really should do it more often. Three other kids form B's mum's group were there, and he even played with one of them briefly He had a ball though, mostly just running around kicking a ball (he's soccer obsessed), but at least he wore himself out. J got lots of cuddles too and he's asleep now as well.
It's raining and I had a whole bunch of nappies on the line. Oh well, I think we have enough for at least tomorrow
Can you believe we are almost halfway through March?
Hello hello hello echo echo echo!
Everyone very busy I guess!
I know Dis, where does the time go? Beau has more of a coldy thing, its turned all phlemy (sp?) now so he has a little cough - he seems happier the last two days but I have kept him home from playgroup yesterday for fear of infecting other bubbas. My sanity is suffering for it though! We just came back from a big walk with the dogs and now I am buggered! Good on you for getting to the play centre thingy - i am sure Ben loved it!
Hope everyone is well and happy x
I hate it, wish I could get enough sleep and clean and relax and actually play with him. Ahhh well.
