Morning girls,

I had a better night last night all the kids slept really well.Hope it last

Nic- Gee just when you think the little ones are getting into a really good sleep pattern,it just doesn`t seem to last long enough.Sometimes when Kieren wakes now i offer him a drink,then tell him lay on your pillow,he`s pretty good,i don`t get too,many tears from him or sometimes he likes a cuddle then he falls asleep on my shoulder and i can put him straight back into the cot.

Well,i better be off,got to go & get some food shopping done today....or we will be eating the grass for dinner,lol.
Hi to everyone,have a good day!

(PS) Is anyone having troubles getting their little ones to eat dinner,Kieren doesn`t want to eat his dinner,has a couple of mouthfuls and screams to get out of the high chair,& I`ve tried to feed him on the lounge..etc...just not interested in eating,...maybe more teeth do you think?????? Girls!!!! Thanks Susan.xxx.

Susan - Our eating issue at the moment is that Olivia is refusing to eat anything that she can't eat on her own. So anything (except yoghurt) that I try to give her on a spoon is instantly rejected She is trying to be Miss Independent but I also think she is getting fussy because her teeth are moving around. I've decided that for a little while it doesn't matter if she just has finger food or fruit and yoghurt for dinner, at least she is eating something. We took her to a paediatric (sp?) dentist a few weeks ago and she said that it looks like Livi's molars are coming up so we are putting a lot of the fussiness and grumpiness down to that at the moment.

Nic - We have had a few very bad nights lately with Olivia. For some reason she has been waking up absolutely hysterical at about 10:30-11pm and refusing to go back to sleep without a lot of cuddling and rocking.

Lauren - I'm glad the dinner went well. The photos on FB were great, I am sure Ash will love growing up with cousins about the same age as him.

Hi to everyone else

I went to a mums and bubs movie session yesterday and I still can't get over the mum who was sitting in front of me. She had twins with her who were about 4 months old who were happily gurgling and sometimes having a little (and I mean little) whinge and this woman just turned to them (they were on the couch next to her) and said 's**t up' - more than once!!! She didnt try quietly saying 'shhhhh' or rocking them or feeding them, she just jumped straight to swearing! I can understand getting frustrated but seriously these bubs were being very good and much better than Olivia was being (I just kept feeding her and talking quietly to her as a distraction). Olivia was in fact a little pain at the movie but really I wasn't expecting to get to sit there in peace, I mean how can you expect the littles to be perfectly quiet for the 2 hours that you want them to be?!

Hope you all have a good day!

Olivia pretty much refuses to eat unless she is sitting with the boys. I did manage to get her to sit in the high chair last night but I don't think she ate as much as normal which is why she woke I think. I hadn't used the high chair for about 3 weeks I think she sits with me when she has brekky and the boys have a kiddy table they sit at (we are slack and eat on the couch) and she now sits at the table with them

alicia: Those poor bubbas.. I hope she was just having a bad day and was in serious need of a break and that was her break..

Well morning coffee done with time to mop the bloomin floors

[mummy of many]

Hi ladies,

It`s very quiet in here,hope everyone is doing ok.

Alicia & Nic- Well,Kieren is refusing to stay seated in his high chair,even with the harness on,he wiggles and yells to get out,so we sit him on our lap,but only plays with his food,he doesn`t like us trying to feed him, Mr independant here too.lol.
We all sit a our kitchen table i won`t let the kids watch tv,at dinner time or the other just want eat whats on their plates too absorb in the trashy shows on tv,lol.

Well,Kieren has managed to eat some soft pear,yogurt,& some chopped up chicken & cheese on a small bread roll today,it`s the most he`s had for a few weeks.i suppose as long as they are drinking i don`t have too much to worry about.

I don`t think i would be game taking my two young ones to the movies,although Kieren is a really good boy,but Tiger is a little......u know what!!!!

I hope everyone is having a good day,i have too little ones asleep,YAY.....now iam going to have lunch.

[Buzzie]

hi everyone, just a quick one whilst ash is quiet for 30seconds.. he still very very sick, throwing up all night, was up from 130am - 6am walking around with him just trying to stop him vomitting so he could keep the nurofen down. he had a dose at 6.30 and it knocked him out till about 11am (give or take a couple wakings cos of wind)

Hes been on panadol since wednesday night at the emergency room and its been 48 hours since yesterday.. has anyone kept giving panadol for longer than 48hours???
I havent giving him anymore this morning as i dont want to..... does any one recomened asking a doctor or something?? i know its viral, so theres nothing he can do but get his body to fight it off..... but im just worried if he keeps going tonight and im giving him too much medicine... ????????

[aussienic]

Lauren I would take him to the Dr.. Does he have fevers? (sorry I must have missed our post on him being sick) If he can't keep anything down then definetl get him to the Dr.. 48 hours is a long time..

poor little man.. I hope he is on the mend soon

Sorry for slack post.. My eyes are hanging out of my head. I did my usual night shift thing and went across the road for a chat.. At midnight I said I better go home I spose.. Well 1:30 I managed it by the time I showered and actually fell asleep it was closer to 3.. OMG why do I do it

As I said to my mum this morning I am seriously enjoying this ME time.. It is so nice to talk to another adult (with no kids around) other then Simon.. And she addicted to ebay to hahaha.. so far we haven't bought anything Although I did buy Livi a new hat off thier last week.. $5 bargain. Cute little fifi and the flower pots (?) one


Susan.. I would just simply buckle him in the high chair and tighten the straps and say NO it is dinner time and even if you dn't want to eat everyone else is.. It is time to sit as a family

Might not no probably won't work but hey thats the only advice I can come up with right now

[Buzzie]

Omg i just realised, we were in the emergency tuesday night not wednesday.. hmm being friday maybe i should go to the GP. He seems ok atm and has had a couple of chips for lunch (its the only thing i could get him to eat) and its staying down so far....
i might go over to the chemist and ask about the panadol.. im sure tonight wont be so easy, seems to go down hill very quickly at night.....

I know its not important, but my first week of being back at work full time and ive had 3 days off... thankgod my boss has 2 little kids .... !

[BekZ]

Hi All,

Buzzie - I had Loren on panadol and nuerofen for 4 days straight around the clock. Doctor told me to because she was having convulsions. If Ash has been throwing up for that many days I would take him to the doctor just incase he is dehydrated too.

Hugs to all

[aussienic]

Lauren: your job is important too.. You don't want to feel like you are letting anyone down.. glad you have an understanding boss though

If ou are worried about fluids you could try this.. It is what we did to gt them to have some glucose as well as water.. just made up jelly and syringed it into them and told them it was medicine

Keep an eye on his wet nappies.. If the wee is yellow or he isn't peeing much then he is starting to show signs of dehydration

[alicia]

Lauren - We have rung the Maternal Child help line a few times when we have been worried about things but not wanting to rush straight to the doctors, they have always been really helpful and reassuring. You can always ring them for an opinion (they might say take hime to the docs) but it is good to have that instant opinion when you are worried. Big hugs to Ash.

[Buzzie]

thanks everyone, i went to the chemist and they said give him hydralite to drink so he doesnt get dehydrated, but he doesnt like it. he hasnt had any boobie since waking this morning which is the first, but he has been drinking some water.

Im soo angry i just went to pay ABC and i have to pay for pubilc holidays (half price if you give them 2 weeks notice u are having a holiday too, even tho its a compulsary holiday and they close the centre!!) and half price the days hes sick even with a sick certificate!! WAT A JOKE!!! GRHHHHHHH

Im seriously contemplating putting him in a personal careers home or something.....

[Hoody]

Buzzie- I hope Ash is better sooner rather than later poor wee man. And i hear you on the daycare on pub hols it really sucks but as far as i know they are all the same even FDC (well it was when DD1 used to go)

Well as most of you have read on FB i got my appretniceship and start tues PT working 2days and tafe one day. But i cant start tafe til June so working 3 days til then. One of the days is a sat so DH will have the girls but they will have to go to DC tues and Thurs *sob*. Sorry slack post have to be at work in 40mins (my caring job) and DH isnt home yet and it takes 1/2 hr to get there. ARGH

[Buzzie]

yay hoody thats great news!! hope u enjoy it!!

Finally i have finished going through our entire bellybuddies posts and copy and paste all of mine to make into a journal... 55 pages long!!
so funny reading it all!!! Now i have 55 pages of my posts to edit!.. my back is killing me from sitting here so long, been doing it for 3 days now when ever ash lets me..
i had soo many emotions reading, at one point i got so clucky again then i was reading all the complaining and pains and thought ok maybe not lol, then i was so nervous at the end it was like reading about another woman and getting excited for her.. hahah funny.

well ash has been alseep for a couple hours, so needed it the poor chook. missed his Gp apt tho was hoping to get another sick certificate for ABC, bastards! lol
Im starving.. off to find some dinner!!

have a good night all.

[mummy of many]

Hi all,
just a quick one,lol!

Lauren,I agree with Bek,you can keep the Panadol going around the clock for about 4 days only,other wise you must consult your Doctor. That Gastrolite from the chemist tastes discusting,taste some,hun, it`s like salty water, our Doctor recommended going & buying 4 or 5 bottles of( Poweraide sports drinks )does exactly the same job replenishes the ELECTROLYES back into the body to stop the dehydration. I hope little Ash is feeling better very soon,and you manage some rest & sleep,hun.

Hoody- great job on scoreing your trainee ship,hun,it`s fantasic new!

Nic-I usually sit kieren in the high chair and make him sit there,but some times he cry`s and then makes himself sick,so i let him out,he`s not interested in eating much,I?m sure it`s the teeth.Not much fun ay!
Hope you get some rest,hun....It`s nice that you can have some Me!time though,you deffinately deserve it.

Hi- Bek & Alicia- hope your both well & the family.

Ok,got to get dinner finished,now....or it will burn...LOL!!

[Buzzie]

LOL thanks susan i did try it and YUK!! i said to ash i dont blame him for spitting it out lol
Ill have to get the poweraide..

[mummy of many]

No probs Lauren,

Only too glad to help,the boys were on the Poweraide for the tummy bug thats going around,I wouln`t worry if Ash doesn`t want any milk,as he could be coming down with the diareah side of the bug too,hun. It`s soooo not nice!!
I hope Ash gets a good night sleep,lets hope it passes quickly, & you get some rest too,these things certainly wear us out. I was sick of washing bed sheets & blankets.

[BekZ]

Susan - I am great thanks sweets. How are you? Are you feeling better?

Buzzie - The fees for d/c really sux some times.

I had my hair done today...I feel great Being a ex hairdresser if my hair is not done then I just don't feel right.

Hoody - yey on the aprrenticeship.
