Babies Born December 2007 #22

[Hoody]

Hi all i am going to be quick i as i have lots to do and i am knackered. I jsut posted in my old baby buddies thread as a few ppl have popped back in over the last week and i was going to do a big post here too but my eyes are killing me so i'm gonna cheat and post what i'd written in there for you girls to read in here too, mind you i post in hear often so it may appear a bit of a ramble iykwim but i have told of my 1st shift at work etc.

nic- i am off to check your FB pics out qucikly b4 i get off comp.

buzzie- hope you feel better soon and those drives just suck i often have it where both my girls are screaming and its heartbreaking when you know you just need to keep driving to get them home to bed.

As for us we are doing well i am still not feeling 100% but i am def on the mend. Things with DH and I are getting back on track we just need to work on been a couple iykwim instead of just mum and dad or SAHM and Breadwinner iykwim. I actually started work last night and i really enjoyed it. For now i am only doing 4 shifts a fortnight and DH will be looking after the girls so no need to put them in DC which is nice as it would be sooooo $$$ if i had to put them both in. I am a Carer for a young couple in their late 20's who have Muscular Distrophy. I was a little worried about what the job would entail but they get a fair bit of help from the Silver Chain etc so its not too bad- no showering/bathing help needed from me etc. They are both Wheelchair bound and require assistance with most household chores etc. They seem to be a lovely couple and very good to their staff. Its not what i want to do forever but for now its nice iykwim. I did a night shift last night from 10pm til 9am this morning so expected to be very tired today but TBH i think i had it easier than DH. Molly is teething really bad and had him up quite a bit hehe and then DD1 got him up at 5am. Oh its tooth no. 7 that we are waiting for.

Well Molly is doing really well still a big lazy bones and not pulling herself up though she is trying so i think she is still a while off walking. Hey she didnt crawl til 11 months so i cant expect her to just get up iykwim. She is talking lots though following in the foot steps of her sister as a chatter box. New words this week are gone and up Bath time is her favorite time of day and i must say i am enjoying it too myself now that she and DD1 can play quite nicely in the bath and i just have to watch and supervise instead of trying to hold on to her and getting drenched doing so.

Well off to tidy up my house resembles a pig sty.

Way to go Loren! I can't believe these bubs are getting so active climbing up onto furniture and walking. Monique is not confident to let go yet and won't get behind her walker now.

Lauren, what a terrible trip home. You must have been so anxious to get home.

Lori, I can understand you being heartbroken about the job you love. Hope all goes well tomorrow with the boss.

Sorry, I have been reading but now feeling tired. I have been feeling so crappy today. General sickness all day and Monique was screaming the house down pretty much all day (I think her second bottom tooth is coming through). Was not a good day and I think I'll be off to bed soon.

Hi all,
Nic- That shirt is just too cute you clever girl!!

Lauren- Awww poor Ash and poor you! We have that problem in the car too. Either Ty will drop straight off or scream hysterically the whole way. Think it will only be on tv in Sydney (if it's on at all) but I'll put some video and pics on FB.

Hoody- hope you got a good sleep in

Tinsel- for you, get plenty of rest.

Not much happening here. It's raining and yuk. I am waiting for dh to get home so I can do the hour and a half trek into my office to resign. I'm thinking I should take a resigntaion letter but our printer is not hooked up, so I'll have to email it in later

[Buzzie]

Nic - thats soo good! i want a birthday boy one for Ash, where did u get thoes images from ??
Happy 13 years to u and hubby! waytogo!!

Tinsel - hope the ms settles for u and those little toothies come up soon!

Hoody - thats really nice you caring for those ppl!! must take alot out of u.
Ash is becoming a real chatter box too.. i LOVE it...just non stop babble hehe

Ash has been a much better boy, after coming home yesterday i turned the lappy off and just played and cuddled with him and he gave LOTs of laughs. it was so nice to hear that again, so i have made a new rule, no computer unless hes asleep and turn off when hes up.
I think now as hes older his demanding more attention and i wasnt giving enough
Oh well. hes got me 100% now!!

Gymbaroo today, yippie.

I just googled them,.. Prob not the rught thing to do but its not like I am selling it kwim? That pic on the front of the shirt is actually a picture of a paper plate lol..

cus I love google.. lol.. I will google search and email you a few choices..

<Missy moo is napping on my lap./ She seems extra sleepy today :/ But then she slept pretty well last night so is still catching up..

When she woke last night (for the 3rd time) I hadn't yet fallen asleep so I went and lay next to her cot and put my hand thru the cot rails and had it just sitting on her. I woke some hours later with an extremly numb arm lol but a very much asleep baby

She woke at 4:30 and came into bed with me. Fed and was asleep again by 5 till 6:30. I was up at 5 though cus Jacob woke up. Simon would have got up but Olivia was actually cuddled up with him for a change..

Anyways I can't believe she is napping for the 2nd time.. Off to google

[Buzzie]

Nic - THANKS so much for the pics. there just perfect!!
So i get the paper from kmart and all the instructions are on it i guessing???
im gonna do it on monday!

[aussienic]

Kmart or Big W.. one of those places.. and yeh instructions on there.. all I do is place a towel down on the bench then the shirt (or whatever you use) then a piece of printer paper on the top..

the instructions go on about so much thickness of newspaper but a few pieces of priner paper has worked fine for me. then press down.. It tells you how to do that bit.. Enjoy.. I look forward to seeing the end product

Hi girls, you lot are so busy i am having trouble keeping up! Never to mind i think i am just really slow. I went back to work 2 weeks ago now and have been flat out ever since. It is like i dont get much me time at the moment. Hoping that changes a bit once we get in the swing of things. I now have all charlie's birthday presents wrapped up cant believe he will be 3 in under a month! I have my present to post just gotta get to the post office - i hope it arrives in time sorry in advance if it doesnt.
Gotta run Ethan is trying to stand up.

[Hoody]

omg both of my girls are asleep at the same time in the middle of the day hehe it doesnt happen often as DD1 no longer has day sleeps unless she falls asleep on the couch but last night she woke a few times so today has been really tired. I am sitting here wishing i could go to the gym. Just feeling frumpy etc today so i am feeling really motivated to do something but its so hard with the girls. The creche at the gym closes at 1pm and TBH i think its so much work to get organised to go for an hour its hardly worth it iykwim. I cant even just go for a walk around the block as DD1 wont sit in a pram (so i sold my P&T) so i only have the stroller so if we do walk its more of a me dragging DD1 then carrying her etc. I would love to go to the evening classes but NEVER know when DH will be home. I am motivated but it seems so hard to find the time to have that hour to myself to do something. Anyone else have this prob or idea's on what i can do. Remember i have a 2.5yo and 1yo and generally DD1 doesnt sleep.

Molly had me up a couple of times last night and so did DD1 so i am pretty tired today. I am going to drop them off at my sisters when they wake so i can go and do some much needed food shopping, mind you will have to watch what i spend as DH's work eftpos Machine is playing up and our bank is yet to replace it so we have all business expenses coming out of the acc and no funds going in so until it gets fixed we have a ridiculous amount of $$ owing to us from customers and i have to watch what we spend until we can be paid by everyone. Its really frustrating as we have thousands owing to us but because the bank is slow we feel like we are struggling iykwim.

Nic- Happy anniversary and i love the shirts what an awesome idea

hope everyone else is well i might bbl to post again

[Tinsel]

Hoody - I know what you mean. Since I've been on leave without pay from work, DH has put me on an allowance so we don't eat into our savings (for a house) and I'm finding it hard to not blow it in one week I get carried away in the supermarket esp if I'm hungry. What a bummer you can't get the money owed to you now.

Nic - cool shirt. Lauren - Look forward to seeing Ash's.

jas08 - good to see you again.

Hi MoM

Lori - how did it go with the boss?

Monique was a screamer again today and she is so hard to get down for her day sleeps where normally I can put her down and she goes straight to sleep. It can take hours the last couple of days. I'm feeling much better than yesterday but the sickness comes and goes. I'm so glad I'm not at work during the 1st trimester cos I don't know how I would handle being sleep deprived from Monique and then queasy all day.

I best be off to bed. Catch you tomorrow.

[Hoody]

Just getting in early

Happy Birthday Livi

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVIA!!! YAY

[alicia]

Happy 1st Birthday Olivia!

Sorry I couldn't get onto BB any earlier, it said the system was down.

Big Woo Hoo here - we actually got a full nights sleep!!!!!! Yesterday I thought perhaps she needs more food during the day to help her sleep through so I gave her cereal with mango for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch followed with watermelon until she didn't want anymore, she had yoghurt for afternoon tea, meat and veg for dinner, followed by a banana (the first time she has eaten one) just before bed. Plus she had 3 bottles. It seemed to help the sleeping through (she slept for 12.5 hours!). How much do other bubs eat? I dont think I gave her too much as as soon as she wanted to stop eating we stopped.
