Kayla has tummy issues, but I think its solids more than what i'm eating *shrug*. Hadnt really thought about it TBH.

Morning all! Gosh it's quiet here without Nic! LOL.

It is quiet in here without Nic isn't it? T

AWW i was missed

I am back i am tired.. I had fun!!

Olivia was good.. All the rellies just loved her.. She barely slept during the day although her and I snuck off for a nap yesterday afternoon hehehe... she slept reasonably well at night but sleeping through doesn't seem to happen here anymore

Af finally arrived after a months break of course it arrived Saturday Couldn't have waited one more day but was ok..

Kids in general were fantastic.. They saved up all the screaming till we got home this afternoon.. OMg I was ready to kill them.. Jacob was screaming non stop Olivia was having a major melt down and I ended up putting Olivia in her cot Jacob in his bed and walking outside.. After I had calmed down I went and got Olivia and I felt so meann she was sobbing.. and then she filled her nappy so that was obviously the problem.. but she still cuddled in so she doesn't hate me,.

Anyways I am thinking about going to bed soon.. Simon is back to work tomorrow..

bad bad bad night here.... bad

I ended up washing the dishes at 3am.. thats how bad it was.. lol

[Jus]

welcome back nic, sorry to hear you were washing dishes at 3 am. Glad to know I'm not the only one who does that sort of thing. The way I figure is you're awake anyway, so you might as well get something done that's a stress! Then at least something will be done by morning, even tho sleeping wasn't going to happen. Hope you have a much better night tonight.

Sounds like your time away was fun.

I still have to be careful with what I eat Buzzie, mostly stay away from heavy garlic & stuff, but can't have any caffeine basically. ate 4 squares of chocolate one day & then ella wouldn't sleep. Good luck with the chiro.

Ella's arching her back with tanties for putting in the car, and I know Ty does that too. Can't believe it's all started so early.

Had the most massive poo explosion here this morning, and after I'd bathed her & dressed her, found poo had gotten on to the clean clothes so had to change her (read 'wrestle' her) all over again! Aargh. Been waiting for it for days, and she's getting stinky with the 'solids'. What little she eats. Amazingly enough she likes Chicken broth, so I'm very excited about that, as that should get some protein & iron into her!

Gotta go - she's awake.

Hi all,
I didn't log on yesterday and was worried I'd miss heaps Kind of glad it's been so quiet

Nic- Course we missed you Sux that you had a bad nigth but at least the dishes are done, right? We actually had an amazing good night- Ty slept from 1am till 7am

Alicia- We get that too. And sometimes Ty will tense up and his face will go allred and he'll grunt. At first I thought he was trying to poo but now I think he's just doing it for the fun of it. And he's started making really weird noises in the back of his throat- like an aaaahhhh sound but really low and drawn out.

Lauren- As Jus said, we get massive tanties here going into the car seat, or the high chair, or the pram... anything where he sits up and gets strapped in. He'd much rather be stretched out on the floor. Distraction is my only technique for coping with it- either with a toy or his cup or dh, if I distract him enough I can get him in. I haven't really noticed any foods that affect Ty ever, but I am bad I have caffeine and chocolate and garlic and all that bad stuff (actually, they reckon garlic is good for improving your milk supply cause it makes bubs suck harder).

Jus- You Mother of the Year you, I'm going to buy you a badge that says that Had to laugh at the coke bottle. We have a stack of expensive toys and Ty's favorite is a $3 rubber hammer that dh almost gave to the dog when I bought it home cause it look like a dog toy. I'm not sure what's worse- the small everyday poos we get now or the massive bf explosion we used to get every 4 days or so.

We had a lovely weekend. Shopping on Saturday- we went to the local growers market to get our fruit and veg for the fortnight. Bought Ty some fresh strawberries which he loooved, especially mixed with his yoghurt or in the mesh feeder. I worked yesterday which was great fun and then we actually had a nice dinner with the mil last night (shock!!). I fell asleep on their lounge with Ty, which was nice too.
Ty is over his measles but now has a cold, poor little thing. So we're stuck at home again. The good thing about being stuck at home is I've become a domestic goddess- cooking up a storm. Dinner's been cooked every night and I've been baking! I'm going to make a cake with those strawberries later today, once the housework is done. Hoping Ty gets better soon cause i really need to go and see the CHN and explain I really don't want to go to Tresillian- they rang the other day to book me in for September good thing I'm not really on edge.... could be a while before I got help!!

Better night here last night.. just one wake up and only for 40 minutes..

We lost all internet and phone here today.. 4 hours i was without.. cable broke somewhere apparently..

Lori: sorry to hear Ty has a cold now. Poor little man.. hope he feels better soon

Jus: I had a poo spolsion the other day too.. right up to the neck.. was so gross.. then Jacob had his ver first poo accident in the car .. Poor Simon was dry retching when he got Jacob out of the car.. I was PMSL!! it was disgusting though heheh..

Well I think my Miss is ready for another nap.... maybe..

Lori - just in case you werent aware, strawberries aren't advised until at least 12 months as they have a higher chance of allergy reaction.

Hey girls.

Not much here. Tallon now has a cough and a drippy nose. Kayla got a temp yesterday, but nothing else has eventuated.. no more temp or anything. *shrug*. She's booked in for needles tomorrow, can't decide whether to still do it. She seems fine.

Sleep - not fantastic. But at least just having a quick feed and back to sleep. We haven't had bouts of crying for a while through the night.

We had the 6-8 mth check today. Everything is fine. The nurse asked if she can recognise objects yet? huh?? Bit young isn't it? She reckons if I name an object she should recognise it. *shrug*. She didn't seem concerned when I said I don't think she does. She knows her name and stuff, but if I say book, I don't think she really knows it. I've been doing a few signs with her already, like eat & ball. Perhaps I'm not giving my baby enough credit hehe.

Take care everyone. I should vacuum. So paranoid about this mouse LOL. Haven't seen it since my big clean out. Maybe I scared it off. But I'm determined not to leave anything around except for the food in our trap.
