Loren is walking!!!! she started yesterday, only 3 or 4 steps but she is doing it all the time now.
Buzzie/Liz/Hoody - Hugs girls I hope you feel better soon.
I cried watching the drowning report on ACA too. Mind you I cry at anything these days. especially when kids are involved.
kts - I have had quite a few birthday parties for DD1 and most of them I only invite cousins. When the kids are really young I think only a few kids is a good idea. I set out a food table for just the kids, we always have a bubble machine and I give the kids some bubble equipement, and we set up a mini swim pool for the kids to have a paddle. I just bought the Dora party cd it is fantastic. So we put that on and do some dancing.
I am such a cranky mummy atm, danm hormones. Not sure if I have moring sickness today or a bug..grrr
best go and spend some time with Sara, she's been at me all day
-
Hello everyone,
Hoody & Liz,Gee hope you are both feeling better very soon.
Buzzie, seems the only time we can actually get things done is when the little ones decide to sleep,lol & then I have to race around like a mad woman,to get everything finished. Your new pics on F/book are lovely.
Tincel, got the dog in the end,chasing her around the yard was funny,I think i laughed more than i ran,lol.
Kieren is pulling himself up on the furniture now,looks cute.
Ok see you all later.

WTG Loren on walking :dance: I dont think Miss Molly will ever walk lol.
Well i am feeling slightly better today i can actually swallow to drink and eat now but i do still have a rotten headache. I am hoping i will feel better tonight as i am supposed to start my new job at 10pm and work through til 9am. Needless to say if i still feel this way it will be horrible and i cant exactly call in sick on my 1st day. I think the anti biotics are beginning to work.
Molly has been a good girl today and has been asleep for almost 2.5hrs already. I want her to have a good sleep but i would also like her to wake soon so i can nip to the shops b4 playgroup. DD1 is playing outside in the sand pit so i am just chilling on here. Gotta say i think our sandpit was the best thing we ever did both girls love it and it gets so much use.

Yay Loren, how exciting!! :leap:
Hoody - what a horrible shift to do sick!! *hugs* Hope u get better soon!!
Ash is finally down again.. gees this crankyness and tanties are driving me INSANE! :angry: I dont know what an earth has happend to him but hes gone from this incredible angel to a little satin spawn... LOL ok that was bit harsh,... but u get the idea :wall: pleeease just be a stage........!! :pray:
-
Buzzie - Don't fear it is just a stage hun. Then another stage begins:doh:
-
Thanks bekz - i need all the reasurance i can get, i was hugging mum yesterday and started crying cos i felt like a bad mum, sounds silly i know, but it was like he is an angry baby cos i havent done something right. :rolleyes:
I really thought the tanties wouldnt start till he was at least a toddler. Guess i got a nice surprise there.
Its just been a shock, because if you saw the video i put up of ash cracking himself laughing, it has been like that since the day he was born, to BANG everyday for a week hating everything im doing.
At the mothersgroup party he cried anytime another baby got to close to a toy he wanted and he pushed them away, and when ever i got a chance to sit, he would stand in one spot and just winge and pull fake crying faces till i came and got him and he sat with me all alone not around any other kids. - I get him out all the time, we go to playcentres and now swimming and he loves watching babies and kids, yet hes so unsocial if there anywhere near him!
He still loves his cuddles with me and occasional laugh at the dog.. but he's not my little boy he was a week ago... :(
sorry for the rant.. i hope this stuff is normal :(
-
just a quick jump in to say I am home.. (enjoying a cold beer)
Loren way to go little miss :D
Lauren: It is perfectly (yet frustratingly) normal. Olivia started chucking mini tantrums.. She kicks her legs and screams at me..
We had a mini party for Olivia at mums last night. Olivia even had cake.. Will upload pics later..
anyways bbl for more personals
-
Buzzie- With re to the tantrums dont be so hard on yourself :hug: with DD1 she started really early and was quite physical with other kids etc- she was and still can be horrible she used to hit bite and headbut :redface: I remember i used to wonder what i was doing wrong and i would leave places such as playgroup in tears. PPL would tell me she was a baby and not to stress but their looks would say it all iykwim. When they are so young and its so hard to explain to them the behaviour you want them to display etc so it makes it harder. I will tell you though from my exp it will just be phase and once he finishes some one elses bub will start. We only had a discussion at my DD1's mothers group last week about it as some one said they used to think my DD was a monster :rolleyes: but this lady is now going thru it and its HER child tantruming all the time and she doesnt know what to do. TBH i quite enjoy seeing all the other lil ones play up at mothers group now as its MY DD who is now an angel. Sounds a bit b!tchy but i nearly left my mothers group over it as we were all 1st time mums and i really did get made to feel like a leper iykwim. Just tell your self if its happening already hopefully by 2 he will have out grown it. He he well Molly is placid as so i think she will be my monster 2yo.

Hi all,
Bekz- Go Loren!! Clever girl :)
Lauren- Ty is one on Dec 10. I've had days when I've been in tears too- Ty quite often goes through little cranky spurts and chucks huge tanties. I know, it makes you feel awful. And this might sound awful, but it's a case of bad baby, not bad mummy ;) I'm sure it's just a stage they will grow out of (and possibly back into again!).
For those who saw my post on FB- I am a bit heartbroken- I've made the desicion to leave my job. I didn't want to post it on FB coz I'm telling my boss tomorrow, and didn't want him to hear it on FB first!
It's jsut gotten a bit too hard to get there every weekend, it is a lot of travel time, and as dh pointed out, it takes away from our time as a family. I haven't been able to make it to the meetings during the week so i don't really know what's going on. Best to leave now, i think, while I'm still having fun and still good at what I do.
So I'm doing my next two weekends and that's it. Those in Sydney will have to watch for me on the news on the 29th, I'm doing the Darlign Harbour Xmas tree lighting and they usually have it on the news. Will be my last big hurrah as Captain Starlight- the best job in the world, I don't think I'll ever find another like it.
**Lori goes to have a little cry**
-
awww :hug: Lori.. I am sorry you have to leave a job you like.
-
Thanks Nic- as dh keeps saying, I do have a better job now- I'm a mum :) I just have to keep reminding myself of that too!
-
hoody - thanks so much for that! it really helped!! Ill hang in there a little longer lol
Nic - Have u put the pics up? I gave ash some of the cake at his party, not the icing, but he loved it too!! - I loved the outfit u made for Olivia too, turned out really well!
Lori - I know exactly what u mean about leaving a job u love! I couldnt be happier to be a mum now, but it certainly is sad worring about ever finding another job u like....i wish i got to see u on tv. is it only sydney viewers??
Well im off to see my GP today.. i cant take these headaches anymore, im starting to think there becoming migranes cos my eyes are so sore they feel like there gonna pop out my head! I want drugs, but im not going to take them if they are going to go through to Ash. :( Ill just keep suffereing quietly.. lol
Hope everyone has a good day!
-
I put a couple pics on FB. They aren't great just some pics with my mum pretty much lol... That outfit I did was my tester one. As soon as she goes to sleep today I will do her shirt..
-
LoriRae - I know how you feel I too had to resign from my career as my boss wouldn't approve leave without pay. I do worry that all those years of study will go to waste adn when I want to get back into that career I will be a washed up has been.
BUT once I realised I will never be able to get back my daughters early years the weight lifted from my shoulders and I just know it will be alright. We have all the usual bill and mortgage payments as most people have so I have taken a part time job to help with those and give me some socialising time too.
Each day I realise more and more what a special gift we have all been blessed with and I am just so grateful.
I wish some times that we all weren't so hard on ourselves as we are all doing wonderful jobs with our littlies. And again, I am in and out of here but a BIG thank you for everyones support and even just to beable to read comments makes me feel like I am not alone.
-
Nic - Glad you had a great time with your mum.
Lori - Huge hugs. It is so hard to give up some thing you love.
Buzzie - Goodluck with the doctor. If they won't hlep maybe try a chiropractor, your neck could be the problem. BTW I was close to tears yesterday twice!!! Miss Sara had attitude and Loren was teething. I just felt like a hopeless mummy, nothing I did made either of them happy.
-
Just got back from my GP - yay nurofen is all good!! woot.. She said 2 1/2weeks is too long for a headache and sending me off for CT scan tomorrow..
bekz - she said one type of headache you get from sore necks too. There were like 5 different main types. said mine sounded like a tention headache but just lasting too long. Asked if i had been stressed... hmmmmmm define stress.. does a screaming baby 24-7 count lol - unfortunatly the headache came before then so maybe not.
The ride home was so traumatising.. :( poor Ashie was sooo tired and he just fought it and screammmmmed all the way home, so bad his whole body was shaking, and i put my hand on him trying to calm him down and both his hands were trying to pull me so he could come out. and i was shhooshing and rubbing his hands that held on SO tight and he slowing cried less and less and if i stopped rubbing and shoooshing he started crying (you know that really sad wimper) so he held my hand all the way home... poor little thing!! i hate long drives!!! :(
hope everyones having a better day!
-
Buzzie - Wow sorry to hear about your traumatic drive home. Surely Ash must be teething or going through a major developemental period. If you have tention headaches go and get yourself a really good massage.
MoM - Yey Kieran is up on furniture
-
:hug: Lauren we have drives like that too.
Well Olivia is standing at my feet screaming *sigh* SSDD.
getting so damn fed up with her and her nonsense at sleep time. She either goes to sleep like a dream or does this.. Or wakes up half the night..
Anyways.. tomorrow is our 13 year anniversary :D nothing planned.. but we will go out for lunch on thursday for Olivia's birthday .. oh and I did her shirt again.. Will upload the pics soon.. I personally think it looks great ;)
