Tinsel: Hope monique slept better for you last night, yesterday Olivia had a screaming day and I was worried the neighbours would think I was doing something to her
Teena: hope Olivia is feeling better..
Louise: Why must teething be so rough on them, hope she went down to sleep for you
I had a semi decent night. Olivia woke at 2 I think it was and tried to scream and yell but I simply told her to shuuush it.. She eventually went to sleep. I woke briefy at one stage and she was in a super deep sleep next to me and we both slept till 6.. woot..
Was planning on going for a bike ride but looking out the window it looks rainy again so might rethink my morning plans
Morning all,
We are almost out of the no teeth group, Ash still has a cut gum where the tooth is coming up but its still not moved - dunno whats happening there...
Tinsel - My studies are just from home studies so not at tafe yet, next yr ill try to get out. but i had to put it off for a couple weeks, so bumbed, i didnt have enough cash to put the payment down for my books but thats ok cos i brought things for ash instead LOL
Nic - hope your AF does what shes supposed to do, i know stress ect, will do funny things, maybe you deserve some chill out time
Teena - hope Olivia get better soon, poor bubba
Ash is climbing on everything now and crawls 100 miles an hour even races up the stairs ahhhh.... slowly starting to understand to go down feet first. We had one little fall but i never take my eyes of him on them, too nervous.
Off to bunningings today, im making Ash a toy.. so funny but i thought it would be fun, hes soooo loves locks and door handles and the chain on the door, so im going to get a piece of wood make it a box and put locks and handles all over it hehe
I`ve had a **** couple of days,Ds 15 left a packet of chewing gum on his desk in his room,and yes Ds our 2 y/o got into it.....ggggrrrrrrrrr.......had bloody chewy on the floors of two bed rooms,just feeling tied like most of the mummies around here.
I think Kieren is having a growth spirt as well,he has been waking 2 times a night for extra feeds.
Tinsel, My girl friend lives in a unit and her two boys are really noisey and full on,her 4 y/o chucks really bad tantrums,and the oldies next door knock on her door and ask her to keep the kids noise down.I said to my friend, next time she knocks on the door ask the old ***** if she wants to lend you some marsking tape,lol.
I?m thinking of changing the kids rooms around today,it`s raining in Sydney and we have a nice cool day.
I?m cleaning out their clothes and toys,before xmas while they are at school.
Ok,off to feed and bath bub,take care all.

Or if it bothers them so much, maybe they could babysit for a few hours??? I swear my neighbours must be ready to call DOCS- all Ty is done for the last week is cry
Tinsel- Thanks for asking, Ty is still not very well We went back to the doc's today and he's just 'post-viral' apparentley. ordered back on Thursday if he's still coughing (which I reckon he will be). Now I'm sick too. And dh's nan passed away on the weekend, so he's sad. Not a happy household here atm.
Nic- EEEEP!! I'm a bit nervy for you! Probably just lack of sleep and time to self... af is giving you a break
Lauren- What an absolutley brilliant idea. if I had the enrgy to go to Bunnings I'd copy you too
MoM- Ewww on the chewy. Hearing you on the tired. I thought I knew what tired was before I had Ty- I used to whinge about being tired when I was pregnant. Ha!! I didn't even know what tired was then.
Not much going on here. Thought I'd throw this out for opinions- might post it on the main forum as well and see what people have to say. Dh's nan's funeral is tomorrow. I don't agree with babies at funerals, unless it's a sibling or a parent, and even then it's a hard call to make. The way I see it, bubs can't understand, they only know everyone is upset But dh is adamant Ty should go to this funeral because 'it will hold the family together' and dh needs him there for 'strength'. Personally, i think that is selfish. But I know if I try and put my foot down, dh will crack it and we'll end up in an argument.
So, what do you reckon? Put my foot down or let it slide?
Having bad nights here at the moment. Think we're teething again. She's chomping on her finger down the side of her mouth and did a massively festy poo yesterday, and the dribbling is back too. panadol did help a bit last night, still woke up a few times, but at least it wasn't every hour!
Lori - i don't think there's anything wrong at all taking babies to funerals. I took my 2 kids to a funeral about a month ago and it wasn't even a relative. The family was happy to see them, and if they're noisy, I just step outside. *shrug*. I think babies and kids can be a great comfort to people, especially if it's their own family's funeral, and my kids didn't pick up on the sadness at all.
Liz- The only thing that bugs me is I think Ty would react to all the sadness- I've seen him do it before. But having said, that was when mummy was sad, and I won't really be that emotional (I know that sounds terrible, but I only met her a couple of times and I know she was well and truly ready to go).
Hmmmmm....
Lori: I think it would be fine for Ty to go.. Maybe you could go to the church (or whereever the funeral is being held) See how he goes.. If he becomes unsettled just go outside with him
I understand you not being sad as well.. Its one of those things.. but like I said you be the judge of Ty's mood.. If he is not coping he needs to be put first..
Lori - i took Ash to my grandfathers funeral last month and they had a little room where you u go after for nibblies, the guy said take ash in there if he played up, lucky enough tho he was alseep for most of it. Although his nappy leaked everywhere and i did have to run out and change him halfway through! I think its ok for kids/babies but if they do crack it and be noisy it can be very distracting and i think alot of people wouldnt like it. Like nic said, you could also go outside as we did with my nephew who didnt want to sit still that long - understandably.
Well back from bunnings woohoo.. got LOTs of little bits, a door handle, door chain, hooks, handles, locks etc.... gotta cut up the wood tonight so i can get it together and paint it red! cant wait to get it all done!! not bad for $45 all up.
Wow,only two more months to go until our big first Birthday for Kieren .........cant wait for our family Birthday bash BBQ.Hope we all get the Bonus the government is talking about.WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!
Hope everyone is all well.
I wont even attempt to do personals its been way to long since i have been on here and just reading over the last few posts i cant even remember who said what
Well in the house of Hoody's all is well. DH returned home the early hours of Fri morning i tried to sleep b4 he got in but was too excited. By the time he got in and we were trying to head off to bed DD1 had woken up. Needless to say DH got to go to bed and i had a tiring day with both girls. On saturday we attended a wedding which DH was a groomsman for which was lovely. My sister looked after my girls but i didnt drink and decided to drive home. Lucky too as i got a phone call at 6am asking me to pick the girls up as DD1 wasnt well. In the last 3 weeks they have both had colds and a nasty tummy bug. They are both pretty much back to normal now although poor Molly has sticky eyes. I'm hoping its not conjunctivitis but actually i think it might be. I have been bathing with salt water and am hoping to seen an improvement tomo.
Molly seems to have come along in leaps and bounds in the last few days. I walked in to her room the other day to find her sitting. SHe has been able to sit for months but hasnt been able to get herself up. Well obviously now she can. She also pulled herself up to standing over the weekend which was a first. SHe is rocking on all 4s so much so maybe she will crawl b4 her 1st birthday lol. I cant believe its less than a month. What happended to my baby?
Well i hope you are all well and i will try and pop back in tomo to catch up somemore.
Buzzie - what a cool idea. Post a pic when you are done, would love to see it.
MoM - I have just about finished making Monique's 1st Birthday invites but I am still to decide on a venue as we are in a 2br apartment with no yard. I have a lovely park in mind with a function room but it could be quite warm and don't think they have air con (am planning it for 13 Dec). We will have a BBQ too.
Just on 1st birthdays, are people just inviting family or friends too?
Lori - there should be info on the news sites but apparently Families who receive Family Tax Benefit (A), families with children who receive the Youth Allowance, Abstudy or a benefit from the Veteran Children's Education scheme will be eligible for the $1,000 one-off benefit from December 8. That would be nice.
Big hugs for your family. It's not nice to be sick or sad. Poor little Ty.
Liz - oh no, I hope your nights get better. That is what is happening with Monique at the moment.
Am I crazy for wanting to be pregnant again already? DH and I are planning to have another bub next year but at ovulation time this month I was like lets go for it, although 'relations' weren't that frequent so will be lucky if we conceive but I am really hoping it happens. Crazy.
We are having real trouble with Monique's sleep time and then she wakes around midnight wanting to party for half an hour. Does everyone have a consistent routine for bed time? We tried but weren't very consistent and now we put her to bed when we see tired signs (usually between 8pm and 9pm).
Just a quick one.. I caved and tested this afternoon (dh mainly wanted to know for sure due to the risk of ectopic) It was neg.. I have to say I am relieved..
So tired don't think I could handle a preg let alone a new born in my life at the moment.
Tinsel: and on that subject. not at all We started trying for number 3 as soon as Isaac was born. Well as soon as we could
but thats ok cos i brought things for ash instead LOL 
hehe
I swear my neighbours must be ready to call DOCS- all Ty is done for the last week is cry
