Babies Born December 2007 #23

Adkins - i decided the hours were too tough for ash. And a few things, like my car had to have full comp and he wanted proof ( i had to cancel it as i just couldnt afford it right now) , also a blood test and he would make me have immunizations if i wasnt covered for something - which is fair enough but NO one is allowed to force someone to a blood test, its a breech of privacy (not that i have anything to hide) And then the money was a little under what i expected.
My boss will pay heaven and earth to get me back, so ill tell him what i want and im happy with that LOL

[Tinsel]

Adkins - please don't feel bad or foolish Playgroup is fun and at this age, the babies are all on the move and interact well.

Bek - what does the cyst mean and where is it?

Buzzie - so glad that you can choose what you want to do work wise and that it will be good for you and Ash. Did you get your headaches checked out by the GP yet?

Nic - hope it went well with the in laws and you weren't running around too much. I get so grumpy with our apartment too. I tidy but somehow crap appears on all my nice clean surfaces. We are busting out of here.

kts - my FIL is an immunologist and Monique has all the immunisations.

Lori - wow, apple juice! That is unusual. Monique has jammed her fingers in two drawers so far and because we are renting we can't put holes in the drawers to put the locks on. She hasn't done it for a while thank goodness. I wish Monique would drink cows milk but I might start giving small amounts each day.

MoM - how funny your hubby popped on here. Your poor little DS allergic to lots of things. Wonder where AF is then? Good idea to water down the cows milk, might try that here.

Jus - Hi, glad to hear things are going well.

Monique ws a nightmare last night. She was up every hour crying except 6am and wanted to be cuddled to sleep or feed. Do you think it is time for me to move out of her room?

Nearly forgot - I got childcare for Monique today for January which means I will be returning to work until I go on mat leave again which will be good for our bank balance and will only be for 3.5 months. I have to go back full time so it will be torture for the first few weeks I imagine.

[Buzzie]

Tinsel - love your new ticker.
Hope you are ok going back to work. I had the catscan done for my head but ive still got them with me oops. They have settled a bit and i havent take nurofen as yet. but ill stick it out.

Its funny, my boss has gone through sooo many nurses and has been having a really rough year since i left, the nurse hes had for a month now, just said shes pregnant LOL poor thing he really cant get a break. So ill be helping her out from about 6months for her - if she lasts that long, gees i tell you wat, its gonna be so hard watching her get fatter and all go thru all that exciting stuff!! - Mind u shes 19 and very immature, thinks everythings going to be easy as pie HA - shes got a surprise coming.

Hi all,

Good morning everyone How are we all today? I snuck out to the movies last nigt with the girls from my mg and watched Australia. It was actually pretty good I'm a bit in love with Hugh Jackman now **sigh and fluttler eyelashes**

Lauren- How odd with the blood test. That would have ticked me right off, I wouldn't have taken the job either. Had to laugh and the girl you were talking about that is pregnant- I was 25 and still too immature, thought it would be all soooo easy.

Kellie- Ty was a nightmare last night too- I think maybe the humidity was making it hard for him to sleep?

Janine- Ty loves playgroup too I think it's so good for them at this age to get social and interact with other kids, teaches them skills they'll need like sharing and playing together. It's good to have a baby-chat with the other mums too.

Nic- How did the in-laws go?

kts- I'm a believer in immunisation too, as much as the risks scare me. I'm going to put Ty's off till January- only because his needles always seem to make him a bit off colour for the week or two after and I don't wan to have to deal with cranky baby over Xmas when we'll be so busy, ykwim?

Taking Ty to get his twelve month check today, and get his weight checked. I think they are supposed to be able to clap at 12 months but Ty just won't do it (not that I'm worried about that). I just think it's so funny- he watches us clap and opens his hands up and looks at them- then starts clenching his fingers like he's waving and looks confused lol. It's like he knows which body part to use but just can't quite figure it out- too cute

Morning All

Last night wasn't too bad. Olivia was pretty good. still chased her but for once the house was spotless Only one thing peeved me.. She smacked her again:/ but this time instead of staying silent I said "well that was a bit mean of you nanny. you made her cry" She replied I know.. I then said you only have to hold her hand and say no Olivia don't hit me please. She understands that better I then took Olivia and said come on lets go see what Daddy is doing

We got home about 7:30 but Olivia still slept unsettled.. Well I did.. She woke at 11 and came into our bed and I seemed to toss and turn all night then.. I think my tossing and turning kept waking her up to but I never left the bed again so it wasn't all bad.

I have been cleaning (really nitty gritty cleaning) since before 7. My fridge is so white now you need sunglasses when you open it.. bathroom 90% done. Kitchen looks bloomin lovely.. Dh fixing the vacuum ( didn't know there was anything wrong with it hahaha) Olivia has just gone down for a nap so I am sitting to eat my breakfast

Lori: I am not sure if I want to see that movie or not yet.. I am not a nicole kidman fan.. Glad you got out though.. That must be nice. Humidity is Olivias enemy. I haven't got the Ac on yet today so be interesting to see how she sleeps. she woke up yesterday morning from her morning nap and woke to early cus she was to hot,,

Tinsel: on going back to work but at least it isn't for a long time..

I moved Olivia out of our room a couple weeks ago and i think she is sleeping a bit better..

I think I got everyone.. Sorry if I missed you.. I am not ignoring you it just means I was to slack to go back a page

[Lolli]

Bugger it, Ty is sick again. Woke up from his nap with gluggy grren stuff in his eyes. Took him to the dr and he has conjunctivitis (sp?) and a viral infection in his throat- apparentley he has ulcers in his throat, poor baby
Feel so bad- I thought it was his teeth, making him go off his food and causing a fever. Bad mummy!!

[Jus]

hey all,
buzzie - ta for info on milk/quik/milo. I was going to do that too if Ella wouldn't drink it, altho i just keep offering her some milk each day. sometimes she drinks it, sometimes not. It was encouraging to hear that it's the overall dairy not necessarily milk per se - can't recall if it was this thread or another... ella loves cheese & yoghurt. I'm like lori, not going to wean yet - just think it would upset baba! hoping she'll wean herself sometime by mid-year. hey adkins, don't feel bad - you prob weren't going to even give bub the stuff for that long anyhow. a friend of mine has done it for 3 years! We're all learning all the time
ta for teeth-brushing tips. will try them too, but have 'strong-willed baby of the year' at our house, so tho she sees me doing it & thinks its funny & has enjoyed playing with a t'brush for months, we're getting lots of mouth clamped shut!!! i'm sure she'll open up eventually he he he. after a couple of months she decided she would eat solids after all so that gives us hope!
immunisations. I've had big concerns about this, but now feeling much better. have spoken to a fab paediatrician who actually took me seriously and who was up to date on all the research, so gave me a good low down. no link between mmr / autism except for the prob in US cos of the carrier. it's not used in australia so ok. you can't have the MMR shots separately apparently (tho i'd thot you could), but I'm going to defer all of the shots a little & give them a couple of months apart so i'm not overloading her immune system. I'll do MMR last between 18-24 mo. I am totally pro immunisation for both ella & the community, but we've got autism in family so am a little nervous. no reason that mmr has to happen at 12 months, they just put all those immunisations together so people don't forget them. Hope this is useful info. guess everyone's gotta make their own choice!
hey nic, totally impressed at your shiny house. wtg!!! could you come do mine now please ? . sorry to hear about the smacking. whoah! good on you for speaking up.
hey tinsel, must be in the air - ella was up too, lost track of how many times ... maybe it's a 1 year thing.
gotta go clean up the joint & find some food for dinner. so uninspired ....

[Buzzie]

just a quickie, i just took a pic of ash - its soo funny, hes learnt a new trick!
i put it on his facebook (i think most of u have it already) - the camera was playing up so it came out terrible.. but u get the idea LOL!!

[TeenaRose]

LOL lovely....haha

[aussienic]

LOL Great pic Lauren

Had a great afternoon.. We went down to the beach after school. Olivia gave us a fright.. She was on the boogie board and fell off in ankle deep water and some how took in a lot of water. She seemed a bit breathless for a while there.. and her lips were a funny colour. She seemed fine.. We dressed her and she was a funny colour but by the time I finished dressing her she was back to pink.. we watched her for a whole and realised she must have just been cold.

Off to look at my pics and load tham on FB

[Tinsel]

Happy Birthday Olivia!

Lauren - Please thank your mum for the wonderful gift! We got it this morning and even though Monique was so tired, we unpacked it and she had a ride. She loves it (although I couldn't get a decent photo of her smiling or even looking at me). She made her motor sounds when she was trying to push herself along. Very cute. I have put some pics in my gallery: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...y.php?cat=1005

[Buzzie]

Will do, So happy she loves it! there just great. Ash plays with the one at the shop and loves the little bits that flicker when it moves!
