Lori: What a time!! I hope you guys get better soon!!
Liz: How cool you got to see a foal being born! That would have been so cool.. I bet Tallon loved it!
Jus: Hi
Lauren: yes having a nice time with my mum We went to the target sale but not as much here as it is only target country but still got a few things on layby
Is another cold and wet day but not driving me as insane anymore as I got out of the house today *yay*
Lori, you poor thing. Let me know if I can do anything. I can at least drop groceries off if you need them ... I have an iron constitution so you don't need to worry about us catching stuff...
Oh Lori u poor thing and your whole family!
I hope everyone starts to get better soon, Gastro is just horrid! Ive had it twice and twice too many! Take it easy and hope ur little man is ok!
Lori - I feel for you, Ty and your DH - Gastro is HORRID! I hope you all get better soon and that this is the last bug for a loooooooooooooooooong time. Oh and its probably not the needles but the time of year and this year has been a shocker for bugs for so many people.
Liz - What an amazing experience
Lauren - Happy 7 months to Ash for yesterday. Good luck with the move...by the beach *sigh*
Nic - Have a great time with your mum
To eveyone else i cant remember what was on the other page so HELLO!
Well it looks like I might be a temp single parent soon as DP has been offered 4 weeks work in Tas with airfares/accomm & meals all paid for plus he'll get paid more while he's there so I told him to take it now im starting to stress a little cause he's always here and that will be very weird. Though if it works out there is also jobs coming up in Perth, NZ & PNG so we going to start saving so we can go to and have a hol.
Vicky still hasn't worked out how to go forward and is getting super frustrated and she is saying Dada all the time grrr always said she was Daddy's girl.
Bring on the sun tomorrow Im over the cold damp feeling.
Can't believe I forgot to write in here about this.. Its exciting for me anyays LOL
On Trishs suggestion (thanks Trish) I bought a brand of baby food called Rafferty's and omg Olivia ate and nt only did she eat but it was done with enthusiasm she actually opened her mouth and searched for more. We were so excited
Morgan - how hard to go 4 weeks! im sure they will fly for you tho. youll just have to keep busy LOL - not hard with 2 little ones.
Nic - thats great. Ash is starting the do the lips shut tight thing, but if i make him laugh i can usually sneak something in..lol
OMG you would not believe what the little tinker did!! after all the early nights and early rising i thought i would tire him out and get his arvo nap a little earlier than 5.30 and making him sleep thru, Soooo i got him to sleep yesterday at 4.15pm thought yay hell wake up and ill keep him up till 7ish 'normal' bed time. But NUP!@ he woke about 4.50pm had a feed (as he always does when we wakes from sleeps) and he was straight back to sleep again!! aaaaaahhh and would u believe that was it! out for the night!! i thought great.. ive got it coming now... so of course at 4am i woke up going ok any moment now.. and i felt him and he was saturated!! nappy leaked but fast asleep so of course i had to leave him. Anyway he woke up at 4.30am and he was ready to get up and play... so cant complain i guess - he did get another 12hours in!!!!!!! AND the worst part is he decides to start waking early right when i have to stop having caffiene!! AAAAHHH - i dont know if its withdrawal symptoms but i have had massive headaches and cannot stop clenching my teeth for 4 days straight..
We had a terrible night. My head feels heavy.. Olivia went to bed at 7:30 till 4:20.. yay BUT I didn't get to bed til after 12. Jacob woke at 2 screaming.. He had ciughed so much he had mucous spewed. So we were showering and changing beds at 2. When Olivia woke at 4 I thought my head was going to fall off
Oh well I might try catch a sleep today or go to bed suuuuper early tonight..
Sorry girls for being so slack. After a boot in the bum I am back here. Life has been very hectic around here. Seems there's never a quiet moment.
Nic, that is fantastic that Olivia likes that food. See, told you it was good stuff. Now get ready for the yummy poos from it
Lauren, it was awesome to catch up with you and sexy little Asher. Thanks for making the trip for us
Morgan, good luck on being a single mum. It will have it's ups and downs hun. Just remember to take some time out for yourself too. It can be wearing.
Sorry I can't post more. Abbey is feral atm. Has been crying and whinging for days now. Doing my head in seriously. Better go, she is screaming again !!
LOL - it wasn't a boot in the bum Trish! I was just checkin on ya Sorry to hear Abbey is being a pain just like Kayla! OMG - what is with these babies?? It's only at night tho with us.
OK.. gotta run, got swimming lessons at 10, then dr's appt for Kayla's needles.
Morgan - wow,single mum! it'll be worth it tho! You'll be fabulous I reckon.
Lori, hope things are improving.
Sorry to hear about that horrid night Nic - you poor thing.
Hi to everyone.
We had luck with the purple Rafferty's food too. Not the yellow tho. I nearly cried when Ella actually opened her mouth for it. After over 2 months of doing solids, I think there's 4 things she'll eat, including milk arrowroot biscuits & chicken broth (maybe you could try that Nic - I just made up one with a 'soup pack' of vegies, chicken and low salt chicken stock - amazingly Ella eats that some days! I'm going to make it again but blend it up now I know she likes the flavour). She'll eat the yoplait baby yogurt too, so maybe you could also try that! No vegies, & not much else. I nearly cry every time I read all the foods & how much all these other bubs are eating. I was going to be such a good mother & feed her all vegies, then fruits, then other stuff, but that's just impossible...
Well, we actually got a 5 hour stint at night the other night, but last night back to the normal up every 2 hours. Dunno what she wants, I think she's putting her own dummy in now, & sometimes she's just crying with it in!?! Also, she must be better again cos the day sleeps are sucky too. Oh well, I enjoyed my fortnight of time out.
Lauren, how awesome that Ash went that long. Don't you hate it when you wake up any way. It sounds like it is caffeine withdrawal from the headaches & stuff. If you hang in a bit longer it'll get better. You've probably had the worst of it by now! Then you can feel really virtuous because you're not addicted any more he he he
Hi all,
I think we're over the worst of it, finally. Hopefully, that'll be it for sickness for a while (touch wood). I miss my happy little boy
Which rafferty's stuff is everyone using, the liquid or the cereal? We use the cereal, their rice cereal is great and the banana porridge is pretty yummy. The orange one- wholegrain something- made Ty constipated.
Jus- You are a very good mother. Not your fault Ella's so finicky
Morgan- That's a bit scary, dh being away. I'm sure you'll be fine, you'll breeze through it.
Nic and Lauren- My sympathies for your early mornings, especially Lauren for having to do it without a coffee! Ty actually slept through last night- apart from one wake up for about 30 seconds when dh's alarm went off at 4 am. That's the first time ever!!
Hope you all have a good night. I am hoping for another like last night but not counting on it- Ty wouldb't even go to sleep in his own cot tonight he's in our bed already.
Lori - i hope it is the worst over for you and things start looking up!!
Nic - thats awesome olivias eating, where are u guys getting this stuff from?? ive never heard of it.
I took Ash for a big walk in his pram yesterday to get him to sleep so i could space out the before bed sleep. So he slept about 3-4pm so thought that was great was 6pm and still was awake so all that was great, but ended up going to be at 6:30pm he was out like a light!! but still he was up at 5.15am so i think thats just the way his body is now. I could try to push him back out to 7.30pm, but i just get so tired now too and love going to bed early. i suppose if i dont mind the early starts then its fine, as long as the little man gets his sleep, thats all i care about
Had a bad night with wind again tho.. not as bad as the other night, but i think im going have to be ALOT more strict with my no dairy, i have been pretty slack and with cutting out all ,my caffiene, why stuff it with the dairy. So today is very strict day 1 !! - First thing im going to do is find non dairy chocolate!!!! LOL
Oh Got the dvd player! He was scared out of his pants!!! hated it! i thought for $130 we can try a bit more. so hes been watching it in the house, just freaked out when its in the car.. mind u i did have a terrible dvd in there, so ill put his fav. wiggles today and see how he goes!!
Nic - you poor thing. Jacob "go to sleep"
Lori - woohoo. I'm so celebrating for you.
we're using the squeezy packet raffertys stuff. must get some more. might try some of the other stuff seeing as bubs like it.
Last night crappy here, awake for around 2 hours from 2 am. I think it was teeth. wouldn't re-settle in cot, wouldn't re-settle in cot in our room, wouldn't re-settle in bed with us. finally did the panadol thing, which takes ages & winds her up because the little miss has figured out that she doesn't want the dummy when we put drops of panadol on it (only way to get it in otherwise she spits it straight out no matter what we do). ho hum...
Lauren, just a word on the dairy. It's worth being strict with it. It takes a whole month for it to be completely out of your system. scarey I know. But it will be worth it. And it's so worth checking the packets of everything: whey, milk powder, milk solids, etc, etc. even bread, biscuits... If you want ideas for non-dairy products, let me know. sweet william does a chocolate spread too. way yummy.
feeling very weird here as dh has taken dd out so I can get some work done for school. I'm missing her and nervous of what's going to happen. they're off to the ils, which I'm a bit nervous about, but they're not too bad. Just MIL looked after her one day for me, and after I'd done the 'feeding' thing, I came home to find more feeding had been done (forced?) & then I had ella unhappy about the high chair for a while. altho I looked like a bimbo going 'whatever, we'll give it a rest now' there was actually a master plan of not creating a food battle! Oh well, I have to let go of being a control freak & get on with my work.
Hi all,
Nic- Gl;ad you had a nice early night. Probably very good for you
Lauren- Had to laugh at Ash hating the DVD player, poor little thing. It's bizzarre what freaks them out isn't it?
Jus- Ahh I totally understand. As you know, I hate leaving ty with the in laws. mil put honey on his dummy when he was 5 weeks old. And I've lost count of the times I've heard her say "chn?? world health organization? what would they know?". btw, want to go walking this week? We are un-gastro-contagious as of an hour ago (24 hrs from last runny poo). And did you still need a sleeping bag for Ella? Ty has just grown into his bigger one so I have one here that will fit her. It's blue but!
Just packed up most of Ty's size 00 colothes Awww, sad. And Jus I know you will be very jealous, but Ty actually fell asleep- with no patting, rocking, shushing or boob, on the lounge room floor- first time ever. Poor little thing must still not be feeling very well.
Jus - where is sweet william sold? i went to safeway today and couldnt find any chocolate, there was no decent health food shop so ill have to look somewhere else tomorrow.
Well FiNally he likes his DVD player! thankgod! i put his fav wiggles on and didnt hear a peep out of him all the way to and from the shopping centre! yay! well see how he goes on monday with the big drive to the new house!!
Lori - its so sad packing there clothes up for the next size, i know exactly how u feel! Im still can believe i have all 0's and starting to buy 1's already!!! i took 2 jumpers back yesterday that needed to be size 1 and it was so sad how big there were! i still have his 0000 even tho i think he only got to wear 2 outfits cos he was so big lol
Well had an exciting morning - Ash had professional photos done and they were absolutely gorgeous! im getting a huge canvas one of a set of 3 pics in the oldern day colour - not black and white but brown sort of, anyway he was sitting with this older style teddy that was the same size as him and it was one - him sitting both facing the camera, one him facing the teddy with his hand on it and the other was of there backs next to each other and omg it is sooooooooooooooo beautiful i almost cried!!! cant wait to get it!!!!! His eyes are sooo beautiful big and blue so i put him in blue clothes and the pics were just sensasional! i will have to scan then when i get them back to show everyone!
I really wanted to get this done asap cos i found out couple nights ago my grandfather whos in hospital is getting worse and worse, everything keeps failing and my grandmother even said she doesnt think hes going to come home from the hopspital! so my mum is going up there soon and i want to give them some pics, i dont know if ill get up there any time soon, so i hope i can before its too late!
Well better get packing i guess.... ahh crap..so cant be bothered!
