Babies Born December 2007 #21

Nic- I know what it's about, we've had the confrontation. He is such a flirt- one of the things I love about him but makes it difficult- it's just in his nature. He says just harmless flirting but asking some girl if she is still up at 2am when he should be in bed with me, dealing with constantly screaming baby, is going a bit too far for my liking....
Ty woke up six times in twelve hours last night. After coping with that every night, where I am I supposed to pull the energy from to keep him happy?? What really made me cranky was this girl is my age, and has a baby the same age as Ty, but no man... just wish she'd leave mine alone.

:hug: then he needs a good smacking.. ;)

seriously though he does need to wake up to himself.. and yiu are right she needs to go away as well..

Yeah, I need to step up the variety of Kayla's food. I do give her pretty much anything now without much worry. We usually have some sort of cereal in the morning, either vita-brit or a baby cereal mixed with fruit. Lunch is usually a sandwich, sticks of cucumber or something and a yoghurt. Umm.. dinner is whatever we're having usually. She's reached the stage now where if I sit down to eat something, she comes up to me wanting some. Exactly like her brother LOL.. they can smell food a mile away. Sharing my food with 2.. I'm never gonna get to eat! LOL.

Nic - we actually had a really good day & night with Kayla yesterday. She had some great day sleeps, and she settled herself (wrapped) last night and then when she woke I brought her in with us. Still woke a few times, but just the normal wakes for feeds.. no playing or screaming. She's still coughing tho, chunky little cough, but hopefully that'll clear soon. I do play her music going off to sleep sometimes and cuddle her for a bit when she's worked up.

Lori - geez - I wouldn't be happy with that at all. Flirting is one thing (altho i don't agree it's harmless.. but anyway) but seeking out her company when he should be supporting you and in bed with you.. :(

I need to up Lorens's variety too by the sounds of things. I give her avocado or vegemite sandwhiches for lunch, then some fruit or yohurt. She took a hard piece of apple yesterday. I have started putting rice in her dinners, and I now cube her steamed veg instead of mash. Loren loves these mini corn crisps from the health food section at Woolies, Sara loves them too with philly cheese. I might start to put tomato in some of Loren's food. Sara reacted to it so I have put this off.

Lori - My DH had a bit of a fling with an ex on fb. He was really upfront about it and from his side he was not leading her on (he showed me all the messages) but she was trying to tempt him. I got really hurt that this scrag (who has 3 kids) was trying to temp a father away from his family...It caused heaps of issues between us. I got onto his account and banned her. Needless to say my DH got the message. You have every right to be upset.

Tinsel - Hope you feel better

Man I'm staaarrrving! 20 mins til dinner is ready. Tallon refused to eat his lunch today so I told him he was having nothing else until dinner. it's funny, coz he went to say "want something eat" a few times and he stopped himself and looked at me, knowing what he had agreed to LMAO. But coz he wasn't having any snacks this arvo, I didn't either, so I'm starved too! As I was preparing the vegies and things he started complaining that he wanted food. I caved and gave him a chunk of carrot to eat, but nothing else! Gosh I'm a tough mum LOL.

:lol: I wish mine would refuse to eat sometimes .. they eat and eat and eat!!

Olivia is down napping.. simon and I are going to eat dinner shortly (night shift) the boys are having an ice block and they will eat later (i hope)

and my miss is getting way to clever.. She took another step.. and she turned around and stepped towards me AND stood up on her own.. well she semi leaned on me then let go and went the rest of the way up on her own. I was laying on the floor.. so exciting and she thinks she is just so clever.. AND (yes big days for Olivia) she said Yum.. so list of words are now Mum. dad, car, work, yum and we think Brother...

I can't believe less then a month till she is 1 :O Louise and Liz its even closer for you guys!! eek!! lol..

Anyone got anything planned for the birthdays? We are just having a simple BBQ we think.. I have to go to my mums on the 15th so will do something with mum on the 16th for her and then something during the week with Simons family.. Simon took that week off work ;) Last baby's first birthday is not something to miss lol

Well Olivia is wah wah wahing in her cot and dinner is ready.. Good timing.. bye bye..

(ps I feel so much happier this week)

yep, Sofia is 1 next Wednesday

hehe Nic - well usually he's grazing ALL day. But I was fedup with it.. he didn't want to eat what I gave him for lunch, so I said he wasn't getting anything else. He agreed to it.. so I had to follow through. Worked out well, coz he wolfed down his dinner, asked for more vegies, had dessert and a cup of chocolate milk! I couldn't believe it! Should starve him more often! LOL. Not that we have a problem with him eating, but he has started to play his food a bit too much rather than eating, and I'd say it's coz he doesn't have a ravenous appetite coz of the grazing.

I just watched the baby gorilla be born on The Zoo. OMG - what a clever mum :) Down on all 4's birthing, and whips bub straight up to the boob :)

Liz, I just saw that too, wasn't it amazing and she is such a good mummy.

I am feeling better today but DH has it now and he is really sick with it poor darling.

Thanks for the food ideas, I have added a few to my shopping list. I usually give Monique a sandwich for lunch too. Gosh, doesn't vegemite go absolutely everywhere! Banana is a shocker too. Monique has been doing this thing lately where she will have a few mouthfuls and then will spit out the next few and then eat again. Don't know what's going on there but it takes ages to feed her sometimes.

Nic - Olivia is a clever girl. She will be walking in no time. You sound happy which is lovely.

Lori - I hope your DH gets a kick in the behind.

Louise: Have you got anything planned?

Liz: My kids graze all day and eat a huge meal at night.. Well except Isaac.. he drives us mental.. Eats and eats all day but won' eat dinner or not much then wakes at the crack of dawn and wants breakfast *sigh* I make thm wait till after 6 now..

i wish I had seen that Zoo show.. What channel was it on? i am an hour behind you guys?

tinsel: hope you and Dh get rid of this bug :hug:

it was on at 7.30. Dunno the channel - it was before that Find my Family show.

Nic - we are having a little party on the 1st Nov for her at my Aunty's house.

Girls a couple of you have mentioned giving your bubs sandwichs for lunch. I am fast running out of ideas apart from vegies, meat, fish, chikcen and the like.

Where to next for their meals.....I'd love to hear what solids you are all feeding your little ones now ( I guess they are not really babies anymore - where has the time gone)

Nic - Thats great your having a good week :D Yes Ash did sleep fine after the Huge 'nap' which was really good of him. i was worried i would of broken his routine. As for birthdays i dont know what ill do, its bit hard being 2 days before chrissy and in summer. I would of like to go to the zoo but might be too warm, and you cant really do a birthday cake there so ill prob just have something here.

Tinsel - Big hugs, hope you get better soon. How terrible to have gastro. :(

Lori - I agree with the girls, Dh needs kick up the toosh! i hope you are doing ok, i hate partners doing that. Unfortunatly Rob has a heap of female friends and they are all very flirty. But he knows he only has to slip up once!

Kts - I dont think you need to do anything extra special for bubs, just give then what ever your eating. Ash has a piece of toast with me every morning ( smooshes more than he eats) and then hell eat a bowl of porriage. Lunch he has a sandwich or a jar of his fav organic food (LOVES them) then afternoon snack, custard and some biccies or yoghurt and a banana and then what ever i have for dinner or if its not appropriate i have frozen veggies ive cooked and put in the freezer.

Well everythings pretty good here, ash is waving and saying byebye now and its SOO cute! Gymbaroo today YIPPIE!! Weighed him too and hes 12.1kg i thought he would be more than that but hes obviously slowed down.

Last night i had severe pains in one of my boob and its still hurting, i so hope im not getting mastitis :( feels like ive been punched really hard and its all swollen! Is that the start of it???? I did stop taking the pill yesterday cos im so over being uncontrollably hormonal for a month straight! grrh

Massive house cleaning day today, i am looking forward to it actually, weird i know.

Have a good day everyone :D

If its mastitis you'll have red patches on your boob, you'll have cold/flu symptoms etc... check in with your GP. When you have mastitis you know about it, your whole body feels it, its yucky. Could be a blocked duct, so try massaging your breast under a hot shower (without burning yourself of course) but see if you can massage it out. A blocked duct can get worse.

https://www.bellybelly.com.au/post-n...s-and-mastitis

Yeah I agree - nothing special needed these days for their food. Just give them whatever you're having (unless it's too unhealthy! LOL) and remember to avoid the recommended things re allergies etc (strawberries and seafood and stuff) But having said that, I shared my strawberry yoghurt with Kayla a while ago and didn't think twice (until after LOL). I gave her scrambled egg a few weeks ago too, I don't bother separating egg white & egg yolk to test for reactions. But then I'm sure she had had egg anyway, chomping on my chop bone that had been crumbed.. and also in fried rice. *shrug*. I guess I'd be more careful if we had allergies in the family.

Well, we have a property inspection today which I forgot about until yesterday. Thankfully the house isn't in too bad a state LOL.

Kayla is waving hello & goodbye too.. so cute. She opens and closes her hand sometimes as well as shakes her hand about.. but I'm not sure if she's signing for milk or waving! maybe both - I just haven't distinguished them yet LOL. I've also noticed she says 'da' for dummy. So she's starting to try to make sounds which is cute. Still not saying mama when I want her to, only when she's really upset. I'm pretty sure when we look in the mirror she says 'dat' and points.. oh and she points at everything at the moment too LOL.. so I think she's saying 'who's that' coz I say that all the time when we look in the mirror. heh.

I'm hoping she'll start signing soon. She understands a lot of them.. if I sign 'ball' she turns around and looks for the ball.. and milk she understands.

woops - gotta go.. she's awake and she was sleeping on our bed.

Liz - Monique points at everything too, so cute. She does the whole arm wave and says hi and bye. I was thinking about signing this morning. Are there universal signs that you use or can you make up your own?

Buzzie - I hope your boob gets better soon. Did you try massaging under hot water like your sis suggested? I have to tidy the house too but I'm not looking forward to it as much as you ;)

kts - Monique loves her yoghurt and custard so she will have one or the other after lunch and dinner. She has fruit or biscuit for a snack in the afternoon. Toast, weetbix or cereal for breakfast. If we are out, she has a jar of food which she loves warm or cold. She also loves mashed potato and I mixed in sweet potato as well for a change. She didn't like tuna but will try her on other fish. I have added a few more things to the shopping list so she has a bit of variety each day.

I can see a tooth on the bottom gum so she might actually have a tooth soon.

Monique was trying to say book yesterday but couldn't get the k sound out. She is a little groover too so if you start singing she will make singing noises and bops up and down to dance. I let go of her yesterday when she was standing and she balanced so well for a couple of seconds and then she wouldn't do it again. She still doesn't like walking behind her walker and wants to hold our hands instead.

I just got home from a bike ride.. was sooo scary lol.. Jacob wanted to ride his bike and well a 3 yr old on a bike is scary but add hills and roads and well I had about 4 heart attacks :lol: Also trying to keep an eye on Isaac and make sure we got Ethan to school on time.. but jake did brilliantly and Olivia was such a good girl and is now napping..

I actually got a decent nights sleep last night and I didn't get out bed till 5:30 and that was only cus I heard the boys up.. I turned the Tv on and went back to bed for half an hour :)

now I can finaly sit down and eat brekky.. aahh

yes my boob is red :( :( ouchies!!! but no cold symptoms yet, that why i wasnt sure wat it was. Thanks kell.

Nic - thats so nice getting out together, im not surprised you were nervous omg so would i!

Liz - ash has strawberry yoghurt too, loves that one, i only give him the baby sized ones tho to see how he would go.

Well house cleaning has turned into a brand new bedroom for ash YaY,. now mum has the shop the office is free and im giving ash finally his own bedroom so i can get all his stuff out my room today, thank god!! now he has his own room and a huge playroom, lucky boy :D

are any of the bubs here not liking cold food? Olivia wn't eat yoghurt or her veges if they go cold.. Cheese is ok not sure why that is. but she doesn't even like cold water.. At first I thought it was because it was winter but now that summer is here she still doesn't like it..

Lauren: i hope you aren't getting Mastitis.. fingers crossed its justa little glitch and it wil be gne buy this afternoon

Hi all,
I'm pleased to report dh feel suitably guilty and is on his best, most charming behaviour. Even taking me out to dinner tonight :p
Had a shocking night- Ty was up and bright as a button at 3am. Went back to sleep at about 6ish then slept till 8:30. So we are waaaay out of wack today. But the weather is so cold and windy that it is ok- I don't really want to leave the house anyway.

Ty won't eat any of the foods we eat, doesn't matter what it is. So I'm still cooking all His Majesty's food seperately :rolleyes:

Nic- Ty actually prefers his cold, even things like mixed vegies and pasta and florets of brocoli. Sometimes I think it's because his teeth are sore.

Lauren- Ouch! Hope your boob gets better :)

Liz- I think Ty says Da for dummy too. He waves to people when they walk in our out of the room, and I think he might have learned to shake his head for 'no'. If you say no to him, he shakes his head, and if he's finished eating (or sees me coming with facewasher to clean his hands, he hates it), he shakes his head then too.

Not sure what we're doing for birthday. I want to go to the zoo, but that might be too much of a hssle with Ty being the cranky pants that he is if he gets tired. Dh wants a party here with both families and godparents, but that seems like a lot hassle too lol. Lazy mummy!! :)

Hi everyone,just wanted to pop in to catch up,we had a weekend away down south,which was great.
Kieren cut his two top teeth on Sunday,amazingly without any dramas,lol.

I havent had much time to read BB but hope eveyone is doing fine. Ive had such a crappy day today,car at the motor mechanics to get brakes fix,but the battery packed up early this morning cause havoc in our house,and made DH cranky.:rolleyes:
Our two year old is having a massive tantrum day,and I just want to lock myself away and have a bubble bath,where`s the sleepin pills,lol.

take care,hope all your bubs are well.Susan.

Pffffft. So much for going out to dinner. Ty has been cracking major tanties all arvo and refused to have an afternoon sleep, so he is in bed early and we're not going anywhere :(

Hey Lorirae,sounds like your day was as good as mine,lol.
Dont ya just hate when you look forward to going out,but the kids are having a day full of tantrums,Ive given up on my 2 y/o,bloody hopless,to take him out lately.
i hear exactly what your sayin,hun. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

Hello to all,and sweet dreams.

:hug: Lori! I hope you did something special at home..

hi MoM :) Tantrums just suck! hope they eased off this afternoon for you

Well my little miss has only ust gone to bed now :O so late lol.. ah well maybe (lol) she might sleep through (ha!) who am I kidding

We just watched the Sex and the City movie and I have to say I have no idea what everyone has been raving about.. it was so ordinary

OMG i have been so busy and no time to post and everyone in here has posted madly so now i feel miles behind. I will try to do personals but sorry if they are all over the place or behind iykwim

Here goes-

Buzzie- I hope the BB is feeling better and its not mastitis. You arent wierd for looking forward to cleaning/sorting i really enjoy it if i have a few hours to myself.

MoM- Glad you had a nice weekend away. I know all too well how it feels to have a tantruming 2yo. Thankfully we have had a good day but they can be few and far between at the min.

Lori- Sorry to hear about the FB incident that really isnt nice of your DH. I hope you had a nice evening together even if you didnt get to go out.

Liz- You have given me the inspiration to be tougher on DD1 at meal times. I am so over her grazing all day and not wanting proper meals. She is becoming the biscuit and rockmelon queen.

Nic- No plans here yet for Molly's birthday and its only 3 wks away ARGH. I really need to get off my bottom and organise something. With DD1 it was a huge event but these days i dont seem to have the energy. Also so glad to here you are feeling better.

Kts64- Molly eats virtually anything now when it comes to solids. She even had curry (mild) mixed with her mashed potatoe last night and loved it. She loves any pasta with a tomato based sauce too.

Tinsel- I hope you are all feeling better.

Well as i said b4 been a few days since i posted just been busy. Molly is doing very well. Had her weighed today and my lil girl is now 8.7kg so slowly but steadily getting bigger. She is into absolutely everything now she is crawling and poor DD1 is been driven mad as she is used to just been able to move out of her way.

With regards to food for brekky Molly has a piece of toast followed by weetbix/yoghurt and fruit. Morning tea is either sultana's or fruit. Lunch is often a sandwhich she will have anything on it even ham and cold meats now. Dinner tends to be whatever we are having or if not i alway have fzn left over pasta and vegies etc. She love biccies/rice cakes or anything similar to graze on too if we are out. I have not tried any egg or high allergen foods as i am too scared. DD1 is anaphylactic to eggs and nuts so we dont tend to have them in the house iykwim.

Molly has had 2 new teeth come through in the last 2 days too so is a little clingy. Still sleeping well so i cant complain too much.

Well its 8.20 and i havent had tea yet so i best be off b4 i starve lol.

OMG its been soooooo long since i last posted.


firstly, i hope everyones bubbas are growing as much as what Mirani is.

the anti depressants are going well, i have to go back to see my gp soon.

Mirani had her endochronolgists (sp?) appointment a few weeks ago and the chomosome test came back as XY. which means that she has the same condition as Tia, complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. (it was on the start of oprah today if anyone saw it). she has perfectly normal genetals on the outside, just nothing on the inside.

then on the weekend, she had such a high temp of 39.5 we tried to give her some panadol drops, which made her vomit instantly.

so when i was giving her a bath i noticed a hernia in her groin, so it was off to the hosp. they surprisingly were really quick at seeing her considering how busy they were. we were out in an hour!

so she has an ultrasound on the 27th and then surgery to have the gonads removed and the hernia holes repaired before xmas. :crossfingers:

We explained to Tia that when she was in mummy's tummy, her insides didnt grow properly. and that when she was a baby like Mirani she had to have an operation and now she cant have any babies of her own. and then we told her that she could always adopt a baby as there's lots of babies out there that need love. and she totally understood which was great.



for the person who has mirani as their birthday pick, she's now a size 1. just thought i'd let you know.


oh and mirani eats just about anything. loves banana, curry, vegies and cheese, but she also loves her junk.

she's also furniture walking atm, so i reckon she'll be walking by xmas. and has 6 teeth with another 2 on the way.

take care everyone!;)

Hoody: everything sounds like it is all well.. My boys get driven mad by Olivia too but at the same time they act like her sometimes and well 4 kids crawling and yelling can get pretty loud lol

Michelle: Great to see you in here.. :hug: on the girls.. That has to be hard. Not really sure what else to say but good luck with whatever needs to happen..

Mirani sounds like she is doing just great. In size 1 wow :) All the bubbas in here are just getting so big. Olivia is in 0 now.

Miss Olivia woke up at some stage last night. no idea when except she was in my bed :lol: and I got to stay in bed till 6 :O amazing and Isaac and Jacob are still asleep.

Off shopping for Olivias Birthday presents today :) no idea what to get her

Have a great day everyone

Michelle - good to hear from you, How hard it must be to explain to ur girls. I have always wanted to adopt, i think its great the way you told her other babies need love too :)
If you had another baby and it was a boy, would there be similar issues??

Hi everyone else, boobie much better today! :D feed ash HEAPS! thankgod i was so worried about mastitis!

Happy 10 months my little munchkin!! :D

Hi all,
I am just so tired. Things are really falling apart here, in all aspects (wiping away the tears from the keyboard as I type). I just can't help thinking if I just got one or two good blocks of sleep everything would be so much better. Ty was up 6 times again last night, for no particular reason. Dh and I were so busy dealing with his screaming fits that we didn't even get a chance to talk. What am I going to do????
Sorry, too depressed fo personals. At my wits end here. It's been almost eleven months since I've had one decent sleep and I think I'm losing my mind.

Michelle - glad to hear you are doing well and the meds are going well. Not sure what to say about the CAIS. I just googled it and am amazed that the incidence of complete AIS is about 1:20,000. I had no idea and wished I saw Oprah now to get more of an understanding. It sounds like you are straight up with the girls so I'm sure in the years to come if they want to talk about it, they have a wonderful mummy who will be there for them.

Nic - sounds like you had a pretty good night. Have a great time shopping. I have been thinking about birthday and christmas presents so am looking forward to getting to the shops.

Hoody - Your poor little DD1 :) I bet Molly loves chasing after her. Sounds like she is doing well.

MoM - I am so not looking forward to toddler tanties. Little miss gets so frustrated now I can just imagine her cracking it. Hope your car gets better soon.

Lori - did you have a good night anyway? Maybe you could plan it for another night?

Buzzie - how is the boob today? I hope it hasn't gotten worse.

All these teeth coming through - wow. Monique still doesn't have any but I can see the white blister on the top of her gum. Will be big news when it finally comes through :)

Buzzie and Lori - it took me ages to do my post that I missed yours.

Lori - sweetie, ginormous :hug: for you. Sleep deprivation really is torture and I feel for you. Wish I could be there to help you out.

Buzzie - glad to hear you are better and happy 10 months to Ash.

Oh dear, screaming tired baby. Better put her down for a nap.

Morning everyone,

Lauren - Glad your boobie is feeling better. Good on Ash for fixing it :)

Lori - Big, big hugs for you. I know how awful it is when you are looking forward to just a little 'normal' time and then it is taken away :hug: As for your dh and the fb thing, it is best to confront him straight away and discuss it. I had a bad experience with my ex using his mobile to flirt wit other women.

MoM - I am not looking forward to the tantrams starting here!

Michelle - Wow it sounds like you are dealing with things really well. I am sure because you have discussed it with them from a young age the girls will deal with it much better.

Tinsel - We can see 4 white bumps on Olivia's top gum but they just wont pop through. And I have to say that I never really understood the teething poos before but now I get it - they are horrible and every nappy has one now adays! :sick:

Speaking of poos we had the mother load yesterday. I was out at the supermarket and suddenly smelt something absolutely awful! But I finished the shopping (pretending I couldn't smell anything) then went to change Olivia in the car. Well it had escaped out the back of her nappy and was up to her shoulders (I am not kidding)! Then as I was trying to clean her up she swivelled around and wiped her bum on the back of the seat int he car! (I am really hoping that it is not going to smell like baby poo when I get into the car later :crossfingers:) In the end I had to drive her home in just a nappy and spare t-shirt, throw her in the cot, get a bath ready and put her straight in. She thought it was great of course :rolleyes:

Birthdays - we are going a bit overboard maybe... We have organised a bbq at the park with friends and kids/babies the weekend before Olivia's birthday and then a bbq at home with all the extended family the weekend after her birthday! Seriously it seemed like a good idea at the time but now I am stressing about all the organising! Have decided to go with a theme for the park party (so that it doesn't jsut seem like another Christmas bbq). I am making a ladybug cake, we have ladybug balloons and last week I bought a ladybug playtent from ebay that the babies can play in :D

Oops screaming bub. Have a great day everyone!

Lori - do u co-sleep with Ty?? is he after comfort or up to play at night??

Alicia - sounds like a great birthday party! we will have a double on with Ash and my brother, but i think Ash might steal the show hehe

Tinsel - Ash still only has a 1/4 of one, but gees its sharp, got my first feeding bite this morning hehe

help girls - what should I get Fia for her birthday next week?

Louise - We have got a swimg for Olivia which we are going to hang in a tree in the backyard. Her playtent is also part of her present. Personally I think she would prefer a cardboard box!

Lauren- We co-sleep for about half the night (until I can't be bothered getting up out of bed anymore to settle him). It doesn't matter if he is in his bed or ours, he still wakes up. Sometimes to scream, sometimes to play, sometimes to feed. Most nights he spends at least on ehour screaming and one hour playing. I can never figure out what is wrong with him. We've tried everything- nightlight, radio, toy in the cot, shirt I've been wearing in the cot, sleeping him in our bed all night (it's getting dangerous to do that but because he tries to crawl over the top of us and off the bed), leaving him in his own, feeding him, ignored him, 'comfort settling', rocking to sleep, singing to sleep, reading to sleep, stroking his face. Nothing works. He is up every two or three hours every night :(
Something has to be done- I am tired all day, he is tired all day, I have no energy, he is a cranky pants and it'd affecting dh's and my relationship. Something has to happen here, but I don't know what. Cruel as it sounds, we have left him to cry it out a few times with the same result- he screams hysterically for hours on end (like, two hours straight- no exageration).
Just don't know what to do :(

ETA- Alicia that is funny- don't they always prefer the box the toy came in??

Lori - i think it sounds like u were just blessed with a baby who doesnt sleep. I dont think your doing anything wrong, or anything wrong with ty, Maybe its just the way he is and he needs to grow up a little to change.. My lovely sister kelly (sorry kell) never slept a night till she was 18months. Yet i was a good sleeper, so i think unfortunatly, it might just be his body. Her daughter could cry for 2 hours straight too when she tried the control crying thing. I would just try to get through each night knowing one day he'll start to sleep :s sorry i know that doesnt help, but it might help you accept rather keep thinking your 'failing' all the time as its very obvious your trying absolutly everything...... anyone correct me if im wrong here.

Maybe talk to your GP about giving Ty sleeping medication? I know it might sound extreme, i dont know your full situation, but i know someone who was suffering alot and had to do that, dont know too much info about it tho.

Alicia - Ash has a swing too and Loves it! i had to get one after he loved the one at gymbaroo.

Kitten - i wouldnt have a clue wat to get a girl lol - oh but depending on how much u want to spend, thoes play houses and kitchens are awesome. we have them at mothers group and all the kids swarm around it.

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Hi ladies I will try my best to cover everyone,lol,feeling uder the weather today,maybe getting a cold.
Nic- your noisey house and kids sounds like my place,sometimes you cant here yourself think,lol.hope your well.

Hoody- I know how Mia feels with her little sistae off and crawling now,you have to learn to have eyes in the back of your head,our 2y/o has to watch his step,now that his little brother is on the move to.I know he doesnt like Kieren playing with his cars in his bedroom,trying to teach him to share ends up with a tantrum,lol.

Buzzie- glad the booby is feeling better,theres nothing worse than sore boobs,lol and mastitis gets you to the point of crying.

Tinsel,alicia-All the other girls with older kids will volch,tantrums are no fun at any age,especially when they go on,and on........ alicia,your birthday get together sounds really good,hope you get nice weather for it,we have crappy cold rainy weather atm,hope it gets better,we want to do a bbq at home.

Michelle k-sorry to hear what your going through,hope everything goes well for your family.

Lori-gee hun,sounds like your having a crappy time of it all lately,Iam not sure i can offer any advice you seem to have exhausted all avenues,here hun.I have had days were i have left Kieren to cry too,but he gone off to sleep. I hope he grows out of it,soon for your sake and you get some shut eye,theres nothing worst than not enough sleep,i get really crappy with everyone. ( message me if you need someone to talk too,I live in Parramatta if you would like a break and to meet for a coffee.) might be good for the bubs too,lol. hope you are feeling better,Lori.

Kitten 2 b
I was thinking about buying some educational toys for Kieren,he likes music & sounds,its hard knowing what to get them.

msn- mummy_of_many@hotmail.com (Iam on most afternoons/nights)
got to get Kieren up now,hes grumpy this afternoon,lol,hope everyone is fine,cheers.:)

hugs LoriRae, if my 2 didn't have colds I would come and help.
