Hi all,
Woot Tony is back but driving me insane... after a week of perfect day sleeps, Ty is now impossible to settle because Dada is home. Grrrr. We have another tooth and two more on the way. He hasn't figured out how to pull up on things to stand yet, only push up on low things. Won't be long but.
Lauren- you made me jealous with all that full moon beach talk. It's such lovely weather, me and Tony might take Ty to the beach one day this week.
Bekz- That would have driven me feral too. The older generation just don't get the smoking around babies do they??
Off to clinic to get Ty weighed. i think it's time to trun the car seat around, ours only goes up to 9 kilos rf. And Ty won't take a bottle or a cup with ebm anymore, so i have to check he's ok just to have solids while i'm at work (only for about 7 hours once a week so should be ok).
-
Lori - You just cant live with em cant without!! :wall: bloody men lol
mum and i made a deal, no men bashing comments around ash once hes one! lol i figure that gives me enough time to practise before he gets old enough to understand.. hehe
ahhh 9 kgs.. seems so long ago hehe Im gonna weigh Ash tomorrow, im guessing he would of hit 12kg by now.. another lady in the shop said to me today.. is he one? hehe - better than 18months.
Well we are celebrating here, mum got approved for a shop for her toy business.. yay! ash will love going there to play! hehe so exciting! :dance:
-
Bek - I hear you - just! Monique has made me deaf and insane with her high pitched screaming ALL the time. I really hope this is a phase and will be over soon. I would have been cranky about all the smokers too. So rude.
Buzzie - congrats to your mum that must be exciting. You must have great biceps from lugging Ash around if he is about 12kg.
LoriRae - How lovely to have hubby home. Mine was home for 2 months and he rocked Monique to sleep so guess what she likes now and he is back at work :rolleyes: I bet he will love to be the other way in the car seat.
Had a pretty good day. Monique used to love being out in the pram looking around but the last two times I have been out shopping around, she has screamed. If another kid comes by she is distracted for a little while but I'm sad that she isn't happy to be wheeled around anymore and her toys, rusks, whatever don't cut it anymore.

howdy all! I have been busy the last few days.. Just doing things around the house
Olivia has been pretty good. She was awake for about 2 hours last night and I was getting so peeved off.. I ended up leaving her with Simon and sleeping on the couch. But we think it was my coughing keeping her awake in the first place cus as soon as I left the room they both went back to sleep.. I am sick to death of coughing.. (ps im not sick just have this most annoying tickly cough)
I weighed Olivia the other week at the chemist and she was 8.4kg.. she had only gained 400grams since May.. I don't know if thats a bad thing but she is healthy and happy and seems to well and truly reaching her developmental milestones so I figure it can't be a huge deal.. plus she has plenty of chunk on her thighs lol...

Hi all,
We are a sick household here. DH is 'dying' of a cold, I am not feeling great and Little Miss Olivia has been quite sick. In fact we ended up taking her to the Children's Hospital Saturday night as she suddenly broke out in a bright red rash all over her body and was seriously grizzley. They think it is just a viral thing (took a throat swab to check for other stuff) but it means we are stuck at home until the rash goes. It is sad to see her all miserable and the rash freaked me out a bit, but it is all on the improve now.
Glad to hear everyone seems to be doing ok on the whole.

I everyone, it seems ages since I have had time to post, have lurked every so often but seriously busy at work and home as usual. Maria and Sofia have settled into the new childcare but Sofia refuses to take EBM in a bottle or cup so I breastfeed her before I leave in the morning and as soon as I get there after work and they feed her food with lots of liquid in it, plus I bring in stewed apple as well for her, Anyone have any tips on getting her to drink from a sippy cup? She can get the water into her mouth but doesn't seem to get the idea of swallowing it, so it just dribbles down her face. We couldn't even get her to drink EBM or water when I had to stop breastfeeding for 24 hours last Wednesday so I could have a thyroid scan, I had a lump in my neck and had my scan, it turned out to be a broken blood vessel into a thyroid nodule thus creating a lump, the Doctor did a biopsy and drained 6 mls of old blood out of it, now I have to wait 1 month to see if it happens again. He thinks that the exertion of Sofia's birth may have caused the vessel to burst - just a bit scary.
Hope all the bubs and mums are well or gettng better.
-
Big :hug: to Alicia and Kitten! your poor things. Hope you guys get better soon!
Nic - i was told all the stats start to slow down about this age.. at least she put some on, but would really worry like u said as long as shes still happy and eating :) I was in a health food shop the other day and the guy tickled ashs feet and said oh look at those fat legs! and as we left he said "bye fatty"... OMG how rude! i know he was being friendly, but seriously some mums could be big time offended by that, i didnt appreciate it!
Tinsel - yep, big biceps here! LOL i surprise myself sometimes especially when i think ill just 'pop' into the shop for bit so ill carry him and i come out and hour or 2 later with heaps of bags and sweating from carring him with numb arms!! omg the amount of times ive done that!!
-
Hi all,
:hugs: to alicia- how scary- and kitten- that's pretty scary too!!
Ty is 8.4 kilos so we can turn the car seat around.. I might leave it a bit longer, we've got another 600 gms before it has to be turned, so that's another few weeks at least.
Nic- I'm sure she's doing fine. Ty was stuck at 7.5 kilos for about 3 months, he's only just started putting weight on again.
Lauren- How bleeping rude, that would have really ticked me off. People should think before they speak.
Our oven shorted out last night and took all the electricity in the house with it. Thank god we've got a safety switch, so the electricity is back on but the oven is stuffed. Tony is playing around with it at the moment trying to fix the element, which scares me. What is it with men, why can't they just call the repair guy and be done with it??
-
Louise: that does sound quite scary! I hope it just goes away.. what will happen if it comes back?
Get well soon vibes sent out to all the mama's and bubba's
Lauren: I learnt very quickly to always take the stroller or use a trolley :lol: I got tendonitis with Jacob from carrying him all the time :lol: and I ended up on anti inflammitries.. too funny (well we think so) Dr said it was from carrying Jacob..
How rude of that man by the way. I wish people would watch what they say. what if he was a bit older or you had an older child with you.. This is why so many kids have body image issues.
Me: feel like dog doo doo.. Im not sick but it takes so much effort to talk. My voice is hoarse from all the coughing. I slept in the lounge again so Olivia would stay asleep. She woke at 3:40 though but then fell asleep on my till 6 so it wasn't to bad..
I have so much to do but so little motivation.. We are going to mums on thursday then camping for 3 nights on Saturday and I have to pack and sort clothes gRR.. my least favourtie job..
-
nic - how nice to go camping tho.. i used to love it as a kid! I think unpacking after is worse..lol mind u, chuck it all in the wash. hehe
I think your cough has come this way... ohh my throat hurts, i dont have a cold or feel sick but stuffy chest and cant stop that heavy asma sound cough,... and my voice was hoarse too..:( sympathy going ur way here..!
Lori - how crap of ur oven! i hope your hubby doesnt do anymore damage.. to himself or the oven lol i think men have to make sure, yep its definatly broken! before they can give in to another male fixing it.... gotta keep there ego in check lol
well off the bath the little man, didnt weigh him yesterday but he had such an awesome time playing with all the kids! i love now there old enough to get in there...
-
I hate the packing and unpacking.. UGH,, I have some of the cothes sorted but thats as far as I got :lol:
That cough is so annoying isn't it?? I made it to 3 hours in my own bed last night and woke at 1:30 cough cough cough so I came out to the lounge.. Slept beautifully till 5 lol..
All I think of is all the darn sleep I am missing out on.. GRR.. Olivia is finally sleeping ok and what happens???? I sleep like this :lol:
Well not much to report.. hot here already this morning.. This humidity might kill me before summer even gets here :lol:
-
Quiet in here...
Believe it or not, dh managed to fix the oven without hurting himself ;) Bought the part for $80, must've saved us a fortune. Ty is cutting another tooth, a top one this time, and it is really hurting him, poor little bubba.
Lauren and Nic- :hug: for both of you, hope you feel better soon.
-
Woot for your DH Lori :)
Poor Ty.. come on teeth ease up on Master Ty...
believe it or not I actually need to go shopping for clothes for Olivia :lol: In the need of summer jammies or at least summery and shorts..
Olivia is getting to clever.. She stood up on her play gym this morning and took a few steps.. she also got her first googy egg :( but it went down very quickly and she stopped crying as soon as I picked her up..
And yes very quiet in here..
oh and we have Isaacs pead appointment tomorrow to get the results of his MRI.. I am so nervous but there can't have been anything bad or they would have rung us to come in earlier but always in the back of your mind you go over all the worst possible things
-
Lori - yay on the oven..lol, poor little teeth for Ty, ..Still none here!!
Nic - Goodluck today with the apt, hope all goes well for Isaac! Woot on Olivias stepping! :D
Nothing interesting here.. yay royal show starts today!! soooo excited!!! Cant wait to show Ash all the animals!
ooh i started making a blanket for Ash yesterday, its gonna be a big single bed size but its checkers so im gonna sew on a new different fabric squares throughout the next 5 yrs and sew on things that are significant to him along with little bits and pieces.. im so excited to make it..im gonna sew one of his 0000 outfits on it too so we can keep it forever.. gonna be soo special!! :D I LOVE keepsakes!
Enjoy your day everyone :D
-
Lauren- What an awesome idea!! I have a patch blanket from when i was in Guides that my mum made me and I still love it.
Nic- Crossingmy fingers for you today, I'll be thinking of you. I'm sure it will be ok.
Hmmm... not much going on here. Ty is asleep but I just feel so lazy, can't break out of winter hibernation mode just yet. Reading a book in the sun is sounding appealing.
-
Hey girls!
Nic - all the best with the test results. As much as I hope they dont find something, I hope you get some answers today.
Lauren - hehe.. had to giggle when you said Ash has no teeth yet.. that would be a surprise when he smiles for those that ask if he's 18 months old! hehe.
Lori - hope Ty's tooth cuts soon. We had a rough time cutting the top two teeth. They're coming down nicely now, and she's cutting her 4th tooth at the bottom, but it doesn't seem to be hurting her as much.
Well, my news is, Saturday was our 5th anniversary, and DH has booked a balloon ride! eeek! We've got to choose a date to do it, but argh, I'm freaking out LOL. I told him we have to have our life insurance and wills sorted before we do it. I even asked him if we can go in separate balloons so if anything happens the kids won't be orphans. LMAO. I'm not nervous!! :o
We got the kids pressies too (family tradition :) ) and we got Tallon a sandpit.. but gosh - getting him to keep the sand IN the sandpit is proving a challenge! Kayla just got a couple of usual baby toys heh, and they both got a toy for the bath. Tallon also got a wiggles guitar which gets played LOTS lol. He plays it when watching the wiggles and raggs. So cute. He rocks! hehe. (think he gets all the guitar movements from watching us play guitar hero on the xbox. He was using those guitars all the time, which is why I knew a wiggles guitar would be a hit hehe). DH is sooo hard to shop for, coz his wishlist comprises of expensive technology all the time! So I just got him a digital photo frame for his desk at work. It's pretty good actually heh.
Well Kayla now pulls herself up on the furniture very efficiently, and has finally worked out to move her feet in more once she's up LOL. And she's slowly working her way along the furniture now. She's sooo keen to get moving tho, you can see her leaning wanting to get to everything, so we'll see how long before she lets go and gets going. Tallon was 11 months when he let go and walked on his own. So I guess Kayla might be similar (she's about 9 months corrected now).
i've packed away the co-sleeper cot now, and she's in the big cot in our room. So at least I know she's contained now if she wakes up hehe. Altho I had her in our bed last night in an attempt to wean her from the wrap. But the Tallon came clambering in early this morning, so I put her back in her cot. Couldn't be bothered with them playing in my bed.. I wanted more sleep!
Well, it's GORGEOUS weather here today, have got lots of washing on the line, and I've actually done a fair bit of cleaning this morning! I have soooo much washing all over the lounge tho that needs folding and ironing. I'm gonna put the kids to bed once Raggs finishes and will find myself something to watch while I tackle it. *sigh*
Ok.. it's finished.. gotta put these kids down.
Bye!
-
OMG Liz im so jealous..a balloon ride!!i have always wanted to do that,kinda a do before i die thing! wow have an awesome time..and i wouldnt be scared, you dont hear many of them crashing.. at least i havent lol .. sorry that wasnt very reassuring was it.
-
OMG i had to post !!! Ash just stood all by himself!!! We were sitting in the lounge eating dinner and he was holding onto the coffee table and a toy in one hand and just let go and held the toy with both hands! of course i squealed in excitment and he hung straight back on the table.. :(
Then after dinner he had cuddles with nanna and granddad and they were teaching him ear and tounge.. and mum said nannas ear and Ash pointed his finger and went straight to his ear!! it was incredible. He then looked at the dogs who were sitting next to them and panting as they had been for a walk and he stuck his tounge out and started breathing heavy!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! wat a night!!!!! :clap:
