Saffi - I don't really know any of the mums at school well enough. Maybe one day. I'm not comfortable with BLS until he's a bit older. I tried it with L and it was...I dunno, frustrating and I can't handle the gagging and choking!
WTG Immy! D is now saying 'mumma' very clearly and occasionally 'bubba'. 'Dadda' has taken a bit of a back burner, and rightly so I reckon! LOL
Am attempting a night out to the movies tonight to see Valentine's Day...I hope D co-operates!!
Helllooooooo everyone!
We're BACK! I'll have to go back and read over your posts to see what's been happening but a quick update on us:
Orla had a ball in NZ meeting her rellies and we had a complete 'baby-fest' in Wellington where all my friends have sprouted at least one bubba since I was last there. She finally got used to travelling in the car and CAN fall asleep (if I sit in back with her and stroke her hair - a huge improvement on the screaming we used to get). Must get a proper carseat now that we're back cos she hates that old capsule
We're moving house in a months time - we got the lease break place we looked at just before we left - hooray! It's actually a better house (ducted heating throughout and aircon in the bedroom!) but much smaller so we've got some serious culling to do here in the next few weeks. Who was it here that moved recently? Any tips for moving with a baby?
As for Orla herself she's sitting well and doing a wobbly sort of backwards crawly thing. No teeth as yet but they are certainly giving her some grief (must get onto those amber necklaces). Experimented with some foods while we were away so i'm keen to get regular solids into her day now that we're back.
Hope everyone is doing well - will write some persies when I get a chance to reading all the latest
Saffi - E says "Em" and "Mum" now and again too, just started late last week.
Misty - Hope you can get someone to help you with Baz's worms, that must be awful
Issy - Yep, I'm not really too worried about the solids thing, she'll eat them eventually I guess!
Koru - Great to see you back! And fantastic news about the house, you must be very relieved. Sorry no tips for moving from me, just the thought of it would freak me out.
Hi everyone else!
AFU, little E is still sick Got better after her temp, but now has bronchiolitis poor little thing. She's got an awful wheeze and a bark on her when she coughs, so looks like the needles will be waiting another week. I just had her at the drs this morning and there is nothing they can do to help, just take her to hospy if the breathing gets worse. So we had absolutely no sleep over the weekend, and to top it off I'm sick now too although thankfully not as bad as E.
Koru - Good luck with moving house. I always think it would be so much easier if you could just leave everything behind and start from scratch - and then reality kicks in and you realise you cann't afford to buy new funiture and possessions for an entire house... ahh to be a billionaire where you could pay someone else to do everything for you, or just buy new things because you are too lazy to pack everythin... But that might just be me I still have boxes that haven't been unpacked in the garage - we moved about 18mths ago now :eek:
Megsmum - I hope E is feeling better.
Everyone else - Hello.
Baz has been a bit sooky today and yesterday (very unusual) - I wasn't sure whether maybe he was getting sick or something. Well I met up with a friend today and she noticed he's unusual behaviour and then she pointed out that he is getting some more teeth in - I hadn't even noticed. He's behaviour suddenly makes sense now, particularly the nipple biting...
koru - welcome back. I'd wondered where you had go to. Glad Orla had a good time meeting the rellies. Has your visit made you more motivated to go back?
Fortunately we moved just before M arrived. But we had a toddler so kinda counts. The weekend before the move we sent him off to the ILs for the weekend and on the day he went to daycare so we could get into it without having little hands unpacking what we'd just packed. So if you can try to have someone look after her, tho as you're BF that might not be possible. A good friend of mine is moving house soon. Actually she will be in hospital delivering twins while her DH oversees the move. She will go home to a new house. Even so I don't envy her. misty - teething's the worst! Hope Baz doesn't suffer for too long.
You don't need to be a billionaire to get a new house with all new possessions! You see those rental properties on TV where the tenants have trashed the place and left all their stuff behind. It always amazes me that people can just leave all their clothes etc behind. How can they afford to get all new stuff all the time?? I've still got boxes to unpack from when we moved into our old home 9 years ago!
Noticed your ticker! Almost half way - you're doing so well!!!! Megs - hope E gets better soon. M has had bronchiolitis too. Its so frustrating listening to them wheeze and cough and there's nothing you can give them to help. Rach - thanks! I've just sent in the request so you'll see soon enough!
All good here.
