So its been a while! How is everyone?
Man its sooo bloody hot here today(and yesterday!) I cant even handle it! Good news though- we are getting insulation put in tmrw morning so that will make things much better.
Things here have been good... ok pretty darn good. Piglet has slept through the last 4 nights in a row!!! Hell yeah!!! Finally!!! DP and I are stoked, 9 months later we have a good sleeper. Im happy too I gave up on all the patting shusshing stuff as feeding her to sleep has just made our lives so much more peaceful.
Yesterday arvo after DP finished work we all went to the beach and took the Spawn into the water and let her crawl around in the sand, she loved it soooo much, we all had a blast it was great and honestly I almost had a tear in my eye at one point just thinking how lucky I am to have such a beautiful healthy and happy family, I love being the Mum
Moose- Thats so crap that you guys are sick, I hope it passes soon. Its so bad having a cold in the heat.What stuff did you get off ebay?
PJ- That is SO AWESOME Summer is rolling heaps!!!! That sucks bout your shoulder, and no doubt carrying Summer around dosnt help!
Sterla- Hello!!! What book are you trying to read? Did you finish the twilight series? Can you tell me the end?? Im re-reading 'The art of happiness' by the Dali Lama, it is brilliant and I highly reccommend it to everyone! Is your ear better? Did you and your Dh do anything for your anniversary? Not long till your Bday! Did you find a bag? How is Oli sleeping this week? I know what you mean about following Oli around all day....
I kind of feel like groundhog these last couple of weeks, like all I do is vacume and constantly fish things out of Piglets mouth... including a cat nail last friday AH!
Dansta- Have you caught the rabbit? How is the teething? And the unborn?
Right - Oliver is finally down asleep, so I can catch up here.
Dansta: That's no good about teething . Poor DJ. Is he going any better now? Any new teeth to report? I think Oliver might be teething, though it's only a guess. I'm pretty sure I spotted some bumpy white gums, and he's been a bit out of sorts today, but I really don't know - that's the only signs I have. That's so funny about the rabbit - sounds cute.
I can't believe you're 8 weeks pg already! How are you going?
PJ: That's so annoying about your computer. Mine still does the weird thing when I'm typing, but I'm sort of used to it now, so I don't notice as much anymore. (lol, while I was typing that I realised that I type without looking at the keyboard - go me! ).
Yay - go Summer - sounds like she's doing well with rolling and being up on her hands and knees. See! She will get there!
Moose: Hope you and Sammy are feeling better - colds suck!!! And the hot weather - you poor thing. I don't deal well with hot weather - I get so lethargic and grumpy... just as well I live in Tassie, lol.
Peach: Yay!!!! Woohoo!!! Go Winter - sleeping through 4 nights in a row, that is awesome for you! Now, can she just tell Oliver how to do it please? I'm all for feeding/rocking to sleep - that's all I do, and my and Oliver's lives are much more peaceful and much less stressful for it.
Awww, the beach sounds nice . We haven't taken Oliver yet, but I'm sure we will over the summer when DH finally takes some time off... Our weekends are so busy seeing family and friends that we never get a chance to do stuff as a family.
AFM: (and to answer all your questions Peach ) The book I'm reading is called Asking For Trouble - it's just a chic lit book by a British author - nice, light and fluffy for my tired brain! The Art of Happiness sounds great . Yup, I finished the Twilight series months ago - I read them very quickly! I'll probably re-read it one day. I want to see New Moon when it comes out too.
DH and I didn't end up doing anything for our anniversary - but we have our wedding anniversary later this month (day before my birthday), so we might just do something then - it will probably just be going out for lunch. I haven't found a nappy bag yet - but my mum knows that's what I want, and she knows where to get them from... not sure what's happening, but I'm sure I'll get one.
Oliver is sleeping okay - two wake ups the last few nights which is good for us.
We had a night away over the weekend for my mum's birthday. We drove to Devonport (an hour away from us) and went out for tea. Before we left Oliver was just starting to get tired, so I thought he'd sleep on the drive and be all refreshed for going out for tea... Wrong! He didn't sleep, was grumpy towards the end of the drive. Then once we got to the hotel I thought - well, I'll feed him and he'll fall asleep easily cause he's so tired, then he can have a sleep and be all refreshed for going out for tea... Wrong! He was too interested in the new surroundings to want to feed properly and for long enough to fall asleep. So, we went out for tea with a very, very tired little boy. He did surprisingly well though - was not his normal, happy self, but wasn't hugely cranky either... We got back to the hotel after tea and he had a feed and fell asleep very easily then. By the time he got to bed he'd been awake for 8.5 hours!!! Needless to say, he slept very well that night.
We went out for breakfast with everyone the next morning, and got home by midday. It was so exhausting though... I really find trips away so stressful. I shouldn't, cause I have such a good-tempered baby... but I honestly felt like I needed another weekend to recover... I'm still recovering now!
A quiet week for us this week. No MG, no playgroup, a friend I usually see has gastro...
Hope everyone is well... Now Oliver has woken up... that wasn't a long enough sleep *sigh*
Why no meet ups for you guys this week Sterla?
Far out, I can believe Oli can go so long without sleeping!! 8.5hrs??!!
Can you PM me the end of twilight? I only read up to new moon, far too angsty for me
I know what you mean about seeing everyone and not having time for family, its so important to have time to yourselves too. Im slowly learning to say no to people if I want time just with us three... its not easy though, esp when the granparents live an hour away and never see Bub.
Im slowly melting......so.....hot.....
