Thanks Jols! I will do just that - I think Friday is looking the nicest so we might go to the sanctuary then and do the other things earlier in the week.

the sanctuary is great!
Evening ladies,
We've had a rough time of it recently (by my standards!) - I've had a nasty headcold and then DD picked it up too. We're both still pretty snotty and bleh. Tues/Weds were pretty bad last week, the in laws were away so I was here by myself as DH was working hard and unable to help. Sucks being a mummy when you are sick and then when the little one gets sick too, its just all crap.
Anyway the worst of it seems to have passed now, her sleep went all ratty and we were back rocking her to sleep, feeding every hour, using the dummy... maybe that's why it has taken me so long to get better... anyway today has been much better and she only woke once overnight for a feed (yay).
Maybe she will sleep thru soon!!
Nai - enjoy your mini break! I freaked out the first time I went thru Healesville - with the fires, its a bit spooky out there. I wonder if my friend is back working at the Sanctuary? Hmm.
Jols, poor Millie. See comments above - I feel your pain. Isabel is rolling everywhere but no crawling yet either...
Tarkine - how did Alex go swimming?
Meg - you poor thing, sounds like you're having a rough trot of it at the moment. Hope J settles down for you a little bit and DH is feeling better soon!
Heaven - I've done the exact same thing with DD. Don't feel bad hun :hug: You did the best thing you could, taking a break and walking away.
Hope everyone had a happy father's day yesterday! DH was awesome - he got up when Isabel woke and gave ME a sleep in. Not sure how that worked but I wasn't complaining!
Hi to everyone else!
Nai - Enjoy your break.
AJP- I love the beechworth bakery... I bought some wine from pennyhills organic winery (when I went there for uni) (I think that's the name of the winery). We went to Easts caravan park at Bateman's bay - they have some lovely waterfront cabins... It was fantastic.. went to the Moruya markets.. we have stayed there just before DH had his hip replacements.
OP - :hug:
Alex loved his swimming class - it was right on nap time and he struggled through it and then cracked it in the carpark, had a little booby fest but really wanted to go to sleep. I tell you thought I'm exhausted - I had to squat down to keep Alex under water and move around the pool - my legs are aching! It certainly put him into a deep sleep! Wondering if I can take him every day!!
Hi
Wow so much to catch up on.. have been reading but have had velcro baby so no time to type...
Tarkine- swimming sounds great, well at least your legs are getting a work out too...
Shell- Hope father's day was ok for your DF, a bitter/sweet day for him
Nai- enjoy the time away, have a wine for me and relax
Heaven- Don't feel bad about DD crying to sleep, sounds like she was over tired to me..

Hi,
Things still struggling along here. DH is home from hospital now, but on a strict diet.
E being a bit clingy. J still very spotty, and being the same as far as behaviour goes. Mum stayed last night so that helped. I actually got a good nights sleep and feel better for it.
I have jsut got in to Farmville on Facebook, so if htere is anone that I haven't added to be my neighbours, please let me know and i will add you
:hug: Meg hope everything is ok with DH... I'm addicted to farmville.. hehe.. I'll PM you my details :D:
hi girls, wow!
I have not been able to access BB for about a week. THought it was the server but turned out it was just me!! (thanks Jols).
Just a quick one.
DD is 6mths today! She slept through last night.
Work has been okay. Counting the days until holidays though. No time to express at work so jsut feed her as soon as I get home. She hasnt been taking the bottle very well for DP or MIL, one day no milk at all! SHe is loving her solids though!!! SO funny.
SHe also rolled from back to front today for the first time. SHe's had the other way down packed for a few months but now can do both.
Had a bit of a fight with DP today and I completely lost it at him. I was very emotional (I dont even know why) but we were fighting about the christening and how many people are coming and the cost,etc. Have a splitting head ache now but I am sure all is alright.
Thinking of you all. Will now go back and read everything that has been written.
P.s. Hope you all had a great fathers day.
i'll come and post later... two sick girls, not fun!!
Yeah Emily's getting the sickies here, miserable, clingy, sleeping more (now thats a plus!) off her bottles only drank 40mls of night bottle then only 100 this morn so I know shes not well!
Ali- Yay on the sleep thru, boo on the fight. Its hard tho you both prolly feeling exhausted, emotional from being back to work, finances always put bit strain in there. Df keeps telling me I'm not allowed to do Emilys christening til I'm back at work, all these costs add up.
Meg- How is everything going at your place? Hope you are keeping well surrounded by these sickies. Getting any sleep?
Pinny- How is L? On the mend?
OP- How is everything at your place? All the sickness settled, she sleeping better?
Nai- Hope you're enjoying your time away.
Tarkine- I'll be thinkning of your hubby this weekend, did all the stuff with the will get sorted or still ongoing?
I am looking forward to the school holidays to have Df around. Another week to go.
And Vic girls that live near the dandenongs I saw ads bout childrens days at the tulip farm in Silvan, sounds good. I've told Df he is taking us.
oohhh i want to take sophie to the tulip farm this year!!!
shell millie has a chest and ear infection, nasty nasty cough, sophie has boarderline chest infections, nasty cough and temps...
hope emily is ok!
Emily thankfully isn;t that unwell. Slight temp yesterday but settled with bit panadol.
Yeah Tulip farm has kids days on 23rd, 24th and 30th sep. We gonna see what weather is like before we decide when to go.
Poor em now has temp 38.3, given panadol. If she is not better by tomor I'll go to the Dr, altho she is miserable she doesn't seem really unwell or in pain or anything so hoping just a virus, she sounds snuffly too.
Hi Shell Hope DD gets better soon, The tuplip kids days are meant to be awesome!! Had Paul Jamieson one year, I haven't been but have friends that go every year!! Might try & go this year too. Thanks for finding out the dates
AJp- How r the girls this afternoon any better?
Lewis has been sick too went to Dr's Mon & wed he has bronchiolitis.. I hadn;t heard of t much before but apparently effects babies under 12 months, is a viral infection of the brochioles, which makes bubs weezing and have rapid creathing, L has a nasty cough and is off his feeds... we are over the worse of it but cough can last up to a month!! My poor little man.
DD is pushing my buttons today, had to make some important calls and she just kept doing things that she knows I don;t like... thank god for ABC kids!!! I hate loosing my patients with her but ARRRRHHHH she just does not listen some days!!!
Sorry for the rant!!! Needed to get it off my chest....
oh no shell :( poor poppet, i hope its nothing serious.
pinny sophie spiked temp again this arvo, right when teh nurofen wears off, think we'll be back a t the dr's tomorrow, 3 times in 5 days! sophie has been watching lots of tv too!! dont feel bad!!
Shell- Just read back about Em's temp!! Hope she is ok!!
AJP- I bet ur so over the Dr's!! But best to be over careful....Hope Millie and Sophie start to pick up soon.
All these sick kids in here!
As soon as the panadol kicks in Em is like back to her old self, thats why I don't think she is too bad cause it works so fast. She been sleeping alot too so hopefully that'll help, she'll only be awake for an hour or just over before she is ready for a sleep.
AJP- Did the Dr put Sophie on any Abs or was seeing how she went first?
Pinny- Tv can be so handy sometimes, I do that on days when Ash drives me nuts, put on Nick Jr and sit her in front of it just so I can get time to think!
to all those with sick bubbies :grouphug:
Shell - the estate is still going - its almost at the stage of going to court... Just glad that everything has been handled properly from the start.. its getting nasty.. sigh.. Poor DH is not really coping with all the crap that the other party are putting them through... she is stating that she was in a relationship with him, but he didn't come home for 3 days and she didnt' report him missing or go around to this work - WTF... If that was DH I'd be ringing and going around to where he worked if he was 3hrs overdue (and hadn't called me to tell me where he was)...
Alex has started goign up on his knees and hands, drinking water and going crazy over solids... he's growing up too fast!!
