I'm sorry I don't have much brain power at the moment so this will be quick
DS has been screaming ALL day!!
One of his molars has come through today I'm assuming it'll go down again? Seeing as he has no other teeth yet.
So tried Panadol, teething gel, extra feeds, dummy, cuddles, play - nope nothing helped. Was going to try a bath to calm him down but he has finally nodded off, hoping he stays asleep for a couple of hours.
Wow, what a day!! Plus DH is at work so it's been rough.
As others have said, if you want to add me on FB just PM me
Well its only taken us 6 months but we are finally decorating M's room. We moved DS into his big boy bed over the weekend and that has meant we could move the cot. We have also bought some pink/rose paint to cover up the blue feature wall in her room. Now all we need to do is get a few little girl finishing touches and she can move in. She is practically the length of her bassinet so couldn't have lasted much longer.
On other news - all four of us went out for dinner for the first time last night. Before M arrived DH, DS and I used to go out at least once a week but haven't been brave since she arrived. Mind you it was only the local RSL so nothing fancy but was a good first step. Its located next door to DS's daycare so very convenient.
Coukie - welcome. What's your son's name? koru - glad that you seem to have an answer to the persistent rash. Maybe now you will have some success with the cloth nappies. Cheezel - molars aren't fun. Hopefully they will come through quickly. In the meantime keep up with the pain relief. misty - I hear ya! I can't believe my little boy is now in a kid's bed and is currently being TT. Where did the last 2 years go? I can only imagine what I'll be like when he starts school, uni, gets married etc. LOL
Hello to everyone I've missed.
Anyway, best go and get dinner ready for my boys. Its been so hot here today and the idea of cooking just doesn't thrill me tonight.
WOW - How slack have I been! Time just gets away. I keep thinking oh I'll post later when I have more time to do persies etc. But I never have "more time". So I'm going to do a selfish post and catch up with persies hopefully tomorrow.
DD has been a real nightmare, screaming non stop and not sleeping. I started a thread when I was at my witts end and Barb Glare suggested she could have a milk protien allergy. I have been off Dairy for bout a week and a half and there has been big improvements. We still struggle to get a day sleep at all on some days but her mood has definately improved - although I'm craving icy cold chocolate milk!.
Swimming lessons are going really well and her little wetsuit arrived Friday so looking forward to testing it out on Wednesday morning.
Ellee - that is exactly why I am so bad at personals. I do read everything, but just never seem to have time or patience to respond to everyone (I always get interupted at least a couple of times whilst posting anything).
everyone doing swimming lessons with bubs, I am so jealous. I done these lessons with DD when she was a bub, but it is impossible to even visit the pool when I have three kids who all need to be held. Oh well.
I have been been working towards getting my P plates for the car since the begining of the month. It has been going really well, and I am actually begining to enjoy driving. So hopefully by the end of January / begining of Feb I will have my P's.
Hello everyone,
typing one handing so excuse the mistakes!
I read through very quickly... so excuse the shamble!
no my other DD didnt move this quickly! Eli is now sitting up herself, she can move into a situp position all by herself, she has her first tooth! feeding is going well! she hates it when i leave the room, screams every time i do (even if dh has her) so FDC is going to have her work cut out for her!
my darling 3yo just tried to feed her chips she thinks now mummy gives her food she can too! ut oh!
I have been missing in action ever since Josh was born terrible hey!Our internet wasn't working so have just been checking email on my phone!
It's been great having a read and seeing how everyone is doing.
Josh was born on the 8th and has been a real pleasure ever since. I honestly can't complain too much! He loves boob juice and is a wooping 9.5kgs...... He has finally started sleeping through which is pretty amazing considering we have spent the past few months traveling between Brissy and Melb. Josh is a total water baby, he loves the beach and we just started a Mum and Bubs Aqua class which he loved. He is moving so much and can get around the house by rolling or his crazy back crab crawl. I really wish he would slow down a bit, it feels like its going way to fast!
*****Grumbles*****
I got a headache, I'm tired, I'm grumpy, I have no patientience, and I'm annoyed. neither of my boys have been sleeping for the last couple of nights and I am over it. I NEED my sleep!
And DH and I are going out tomorrow night for our 5th wedding anniversary, and the way I'm feeling I just don't want to go anymore (I had been looking forward to it too).
Mum is coming here to babysit the kids. DS1 will not stay in bed. He just keeps getting up until late and then he wakes up all night long. DS2 has been feeding throughout the night lately (might be a growth spurt?). He is breastfed and won't take milk from a bottle easily, and HATES formula. I tried to express some milk this morning - but couldn't. I simply had non to express. Will try again later, but I usually have more milk in the mornings.
So I am going to be leaving ratty non-sleeping kids with my mum for about 5hrs, one without any Expressed Breastmilk (who doesn't yet eat solids). I am tired and cranky. Gee this is going to be fun.
Oh yeah, and DH is trying to 'surprise' me and take me somewhere really nice for dinner and then to the movies (he isn't very good at keeping secrets). So he won't tell me were we are going for dinner, just that I will need HEAPs of points (weight watchers). Just Bl**dy great! I just rang him then and asked him to get me a copy of the menu so I can check it out before we go. He gpt grumpy at me for trying to ruin his surprise.
What he fails to realise is the if this week gets stuffed up pointswise, because of one night out (whrn I could have planned ahead) I won't enjoy my night out and all his 'planning' will be for nothing.
And I'm more annoyed about this then I should be because I have a headach, am overtired and a grump.
Bahhumbug. Yes I know I'm being very ungrateful and unreasonable and selfish. But I don't care! Why for once cann't the world just revolve around me!!!
Now imagine me lying on the floor throwing the queen of all tantrums like my 2yr old does.
I'm assuming it'll go down again? Seeing as he has no other teeth yet.
