PP Yay for your 4 days!!!! Enjoy every second xo Yes i got the bad mum award twice :redface: Aidan swallowed a paper clip at about 12 months of age. I have no idea why on earth we even had a paper clip in our house but we did and he found it. When i realised i helped it down while trying to get it out :o Off to the after hours clinic we went to for x-rays and sure enough you see a paper clip clearly in his tummy. Thankfully it was in it's proper form and didn't cause any issues while making it's way through. Charlie boy was almost exactly the same age when he swallowed a detachable roof piece to a matchbox car. I was thankfully on the ground playing with them, didn't know it was in there but all of a sudden saw this look on his face, picked him up and tried to get it out but it too went down. I wasn't certain that's what it was but i knew the piece exisited (why oh why didn't i not just throw it in the bin????) i knew he'd just chocked on something so i said to DH that i wasn't taking the chance of everthing just being ok. So off we went to the after hours again, had a bit of a tricky time getting them to belive me that it happened given that i wasn't entirely sure. But had the x-rays and there it was!! It too passed with in a few days. So i really don't want Harper to follow in her brothers footsteps with that one :lol: Enjoy searching for a tree change it sounds very exciting.
MadB i hope your little ones are feeling much better, how's DD lately? My three now have runny noese :doh: Grrrrrr Poor DS for possibly feeling sick for that long. There are some horribly stubborn bugs around. Woo hoo on the clapping and singing, clever girl !
Oh Charlotte sometimes extended family can be so difficult. I really hope they come around so they can enjoy a really special day with you, your DP and your beautiful little girl. Be strong xo
I've just sat here for about an hour in PEACE!!! DH and the boys have gone to help my mum set her caravan up in a caravan park and then he's off fishing and visiting his parents over night. Mum will be back later and we're going to try and finish a few quilts and Harper has been in bed since 10am!!!! She's been waking at least 4 times the last few nights but i think it's the nose. She's doing pretty well though.
I need to ask for anyone and everyones prayers right now. My SIL's cousin has a 2yr old (turned 2 last week) and she's in hospital and is really unwell. They thought it was pneumonia as she had fluid on her lungs but with treatment it kept returning so they looked into it further and it turns out she has lung cancer. I know these people only briefly but they are constanly in my throughts at the moment, this can not happen to a little tiny toddler. The world can work in some cruel cruel ways. I am not aware of any ways of treating it yet but my SIL did say they are unsure about chemo. Please just keep them in your thoughts and send lots of strength and hopes for a miracle out this way.
Spoke too soon Harper Barper's awake. Hug your littles ones tightly girls xoxo
im lagging behind again :shakehead: sorry chicks!
have been flat out, doing a lot of boring uninteresting things :rolleyes: always the way!
summah is a lot better, still a little snotty with a cough but it seems to be improving each day.
after not having lumpy food for nearly a week she is having a few issues eating but its improving too, just have to get her fluid intake back up!
hope everyone is well!
Oh that poor family EJ! I can't imagine how awful that must be. So young. So terrible :(
Hi all :)
MadB, blancmange... that word just makes me laugh. Makes me think of Enid Blyton books, they always seemed to be eating blancmange :) And I can imagine it would be suitably wobbly :ROFL: Glad to hear Miri has stopped spewing for you and that DS is doing better. How great is it when they clap?!
Charlotte, :comfort:. Like you need MIL's garbage at the moment. I think parents can sometimes struggle with the fact that things have changed since they raised us, and if we don't do things the way they did, it's an affront to their parenting. You have every right to raise Hannah the way you and DP see fit, and to have the wedding you want. Stand your ground!!
EJ I'd love to see pictures of your quilts! Oh my goodness, that poor family. It's rotten enough when it happens to anyone, much less such a young, innocent child. My thoughts and prayers are with them, and you.
Crumpet, glad to hear that Summah is on the mend!
Unfortunately my lovely 4 day stretch with Millie has been marred by her being sick. She has been snotty and coughing, and has not been sleeping too well. She ate pretty well this morning and at lunch, but tonight she chucked up half her dinner. She was much happier after the spew though - I think she just had so much mucous (sorry, TMI) in her tummy. Yucko. We still did a few things. I had to have my bb ultrasound on Friday - as both Mum and her Mum had breast cancer, I'm high risk so have to have ultrasounds. Headed out to the baby and kids markets today and picked up the pendant and cufflinks I had made with Millie's hand and footprints :) So happy with them, but can't wear my pendant til after Father's Day!!! Millie is trying desperately to crawl. The cat is proving the greatest inspiration - Millie tries to grab her tail, and Tink twitches it away!
I'm soooo glad I got the ergo. With Millie being sick she has been really clingy, and the ergo has let me keep her close but not feel like I'm glued to the spot.
Hullo to everyone... Cathie, Kaz, Audax and Georgi... thinking of you ladies xox
Hey girls
Crumpet - I read things are back to normal with Summah, that's wonderful news. Enjoy!
EJ - :( My heart goes out to you all during this scary time for your friends. :hug: I am sending many prayers their way. Yay on 9 hours!! Way to go Harper!! :dance:
MadB - Found the article! That's awesome. Yay for less spewing!! How is Miri feeling now? There is so much going around, it's such a worry for the little ones. Wow, clapping and signing daddy!! What a busy little girl you have there. How clever! :clap:
PP - Sorry to hear that Millie wasn't very well for your four days off together, I'm sure you all made the most of it though :)
Charlotte - Hope things are doing better your way :hug: I think your MIL is a very special breed of woman :lol:
Hello to everyone else, hope you're all doing well.
We are doing ok here, Jacob has cut two of his top teeth with another two also on the way still.. Hopefully after those we'll get at least a bit of a break. He's a lot happier for the most part but teeth are still causing troubles. He's still in bed with me, I'm not pushing him into his cot, he'll let me know when he's ready for that again I'm sure and then we'll deal with it. He's crawling absolutely everywhere, he's never where I leave him..so I don't leave him unattended much! He gets into everything...and FAST. He's pulling himself up onto everything he possibly can, tv cabinent, couch, anyone that's sitting around... Where have our 'babies' gone!!
xox
Good morning ladies!
We're all good here... Not much happening really. Eden's day sleeps are absolute crap. There's no routine to his sleeping. Sometimes he'll sleep 3 x 30 mins, sometimes he'll sleep 30 in the morning and 2hours at lunch sometimes just one 2 hour sleep. He still sleeps all night though now the sun is rising here at 6am, he seems to be waking with that. It doesn't matter cause DS1 is waking 15 mins before that....
He's great with his eating. He'll eat anything & everything. He seems to have put on some weight cause his face is getting chubby
JULES - Where has your baby gone??? I still have mine. No sign of crawling here.
It seems my internet is working ok now so you might get more of me... When we get back from Sydney in 2 weeks.... A wedding & MIL's 60th. I'll be returning with my sisters 3 girls for 10 day so I'm gonna know how Cathy feels with all those kids Eeeeeek
HI Georgi! Those random day sleeps sound very much like DD's. Not getting the all night sleep though :lol:
Not fair you're losing your baby already Jules :) He is very clever.
That pendant is lovely Pixie. I have a little one with DS' fingeprint and will be getting another with DD's soon too.
The mucous was making Miri vomit too. Lovely isn't it?
DS is still coughing lots and hasn't slept the past 2 nights (he's ok during the day). Got some medicine today so hope that he gets some sleep. DD is ok. The odd cough and bit of runny nose but otherwise fine.
hi ladies,
PP - How's little Millie? Hows work going?
MadB - Miri is clapping so is charlie he is sooo funny as he is very unco when he tries to clap :)
Jules - Jacob is such a clever little man go baby go.....
EJ - how the family? How are you?
Georgi - how did you go with all the kids?
well charlie boy has been sick coughing, runny nose not eating well. the rest of the kids are great.
Night all
Georgi - I hope you're having a great time away!! Lucky girl! I LOVE Sydney!!
MadB - Oh what a lovely idea that pendant is. Where did you get it done? I hadn't even thought of something like that! Yeah, sad my baby is growing up :( Unfortunately even with all this extra energy he's burning he's not sleeping any better :lol: I give up really, I will sleep when he's 18 (maybe) haha.
Cathie - Great to hear from you. Sorry to hear Charlie is unwell, I hope he's feeling (and eating) better! Yay for clapping!!!! What a clever boy!!
PP - I had missed the photo of the pendant (I'd read your post on my phone and it doesn't show links)....how BEAUTIFUL!!
AFU - We're ok here. Jacob is still going with this teething business. Doesn't sleep. Tiring me out. But he's worth it all, I just love watching him learn and grow. I had a few really off days in the last two weeks but I'm feeling a bit better now.. DH and I had been arguing a fair bit and things got the better of me.
Hope everyone else is doing well xoxo
Hope Charlie boy is doing better Cathie.
My kids are both well, thankfully!
My mum's friend has the franchise for small prints business here in perth. I guess there might be one out your neck of theh woods...?
No sleep here either! It'll happen before he's 18 Jules... Hopefully some time in the next year or so :rofl:
Ooh, we've been quiet! So it's not just here that it has been manically busy...
Jules, Jacob is going great guns! Hope his teeth aren't bothering him too much?
Georgi, hope you've had/are having a great time in Sydney. Wow, taking on 3 extra kids all in one go! Millie's day sleeps are a bit unpredictable but she does sleep longer than Eden. Has he settled down any?
MadB glad everyone is well again at your place :)
Cathie, hope Charlie boy is better too.
We're sort of almost okay here. Millie was really sick last week and I came down with it on Monday... so Tue Wed Thur I was home with her. I saw my GP on Tuesday, and when I asked if Millie would be okay to go back to daycare on Wed, she said, "oh no, you need to keep her home and watch her... and you need to stay home and rest!" I laughed out loud and told her the two were mutually exclusive! Anyway, on the mend but trying to catch up on work is not a lot of fun.
Today I was running an assessment task with my year 10 class. They had to show a scene from an Aussie film and analyse it. One pair chose the removal scene from Rabbit Proof Fence. Now, this film is an HSC text so I've seen it more time than I care to remember, but the removal scene has always been hard to watch... but it's the first time I've seen it since Millie was born and I was actually fighting back tears. Man, it is gut-wrenching. I hugged Millie extra tight this afternoon.
Hope you're all well.

Sorry I've been MIA. Have seen this thread pop up a few time but just couldn't be bothered, lol!!
I had a dream I posted in here, but I don't think I did. I'm too tired!
Everything going well on the MIL front. SIL has pulled out of the wedding. FIL (who I love to bits) has bought us a trip to Tassie for our honeymoon. I'm so touched by his gift. So, come the 22nd of September DP, Hannah and I are off to Tasmania for 7 days.
Hannah is an angel. She's been a bit red today so I think the teeth are coming again. SHE'S GRINDING HER TEETH!!! It's driving us MAD!! She only has 3 teeth. She woke up at 4am the other night and we just left her as she'll usually put herself back to sleep within a few minutes (she doesn't sound very awake at all when she wakes between 1am and 4am. We can tell when she's awake and we'll get up to her straight away) and she started grinding her teeth and we could hear it through the monitor.
She can sit up by herself, and clap, an say Dadada, Na, lala la LA LA la la LALALA!!!! She's gonna be a singer, I think! :-)
She had physio today and she's doing everything she should be doing for her corrected age and the next step is crawling which the physio said it may not happen for another 2 months and that's all fine.
That's about all for now, I think I'm gonna try and get some sleep. DP is off playing pool tonight about an hour away with the local team. So he'll probably come home drunk and snore all night. Or, he'll be a lump and I'll think he's dead again. I hate it when that happens. He has a habit of stopping breathing when he's asleep and its worse when he's been drinking. I'm thinking about making him get tested soon for sleep apnea (sp?), but he went through a good patch. But now he's stopping breathing alot more.
*pokes Charlotte and runs out*
*sneaks back in*
Well will is crawling and crying, gave himself a black eye today (how though???). Great news for the honeymoon C!
How are (.)(.) going?
Also more teeth here, and teething poos, YERK!
Get him tested Charlotte. DH has a CPAP now. He only has very milk apneoa (far otu how do you spell that?) but it stops him snoring and seems to help his sleep. He sleeps int eh other room usually anyway ;)
Miri is sick again. Crackly chest now so on antibiotic to see if that does it. Otherwise probably brocholitis (also don't know how to spell that). Yay.
Miri almost had a black eye when her sinises were al gunked up. maybe he hit himself with soemthing? iri's always doing that.
That movie is really upseting and inspirational isn't it? It's amazing that she walked all the way back. Hope you guys are well again soon Pixie.
sorry my tping sycks
*pokes Kaz*
Face it Kaz, I'm gonna win!!
Hannah is going well today. She was constipated again, but I gave her some yogurt and that cleaned her out really well! We've got another surgical review on the 31st, if everything goes well the surgeon is going to push out the reviews. At the moment they're every 3 months. So maybe move it to 5 or 6 months.
That's about all for now. DP was smashed when he came home. He vomited all over the bathroom which he had to clean up. Its not like him at all.
I think its still got to do with his mother. But, he got it all out of his system so hopefully he going to be OK now.
Mad B - they won't put Charlie on Antibiotics as they say he is to young.
Hi all!
LOL at Charlotte and Kaz :)
MadB I hope Miri gets well soon, it's so awful when they're sick. Millie is just about better now, thank God.
We had an awesome Mothers' Group playdate on Friday. Sunny weather, good food, good company! So great to watch the babies together. Quiet weekend. Gym this morning (arrrrrgh!). Work tomorrow (double aaarrrrrgh!).
I'm getting super, super clucky. Uh-oh ;)
Love to y'all!
