YES PRAMA DH is looking after them for the WHOLE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh I love them but I really need this for me.
Can you tell I am a little excited??????

I will probably just end up buying stuff for them anyway but it will be nice to have a break. I have been saving up for a while so we will have lots of fun.

Re teething have you discovered bonjela yet?

Sue

[prama]

sue you totally totally deserve it!!!!
I hope you have super fantastic time, pamper yourself and sleep, sleep , sleep!!!!!!!!!

dh said he will take poopy out to mil's for couple of hrs one weekend. i just need some sleep without him at home. i find even if dh is looking after him at home, my sleep's not rested cos i keep waking up at the slightest sound.

is bonjela good? i still cant feel anything but his gums are hard.

[Sueby]

Hi Prama,

Bonjela is just a little local anesthetic gel that you rub on and it numbs the area for a while. Not exactly sure how long. I have used it for all three of mine and it seems to work.
Celery is supposed to be good for them to munch on and help sooth their gums, and the do have teething rings that you can put in the fridge and then give them to chew on to help sooth their gums.

I can never sleep if the kids are here I do the same and wake up for any noise. It will be good for you to have a couple of hours off and relax, just don't do housework.

I think when I go away I will be in bed by 8.30pm just to catch up, but then again I bet we're not!!!

Have agood weekend everyone I have to work this afternoon

sue - will look out for bonjela. i can only feel that his gums are hard but nothing coming thru yet. should i start w bonjela now or wait?

i've got a teething ring...

yeah, it's hard that every noise bub makes wakes you up.. and it's so tempting to do housework when you have time to yourself isnt it.

hope work was ok today..

we had dinner with my team mates at my manager's last night. it was really good. poopy was well behaved. it was just nice to sit w other adults and chat like the old days. we had poopy on the play mat while we ate, then dh and took turns w him on our laps while we chatted and had dessert.

he had his first swim class today. carlile offered us a free trial class. dh took him into the water and i took pictures, i thought itd be nice for them to do this together.. i think he did well, he just didnt like when he was on his back and water went into his ears.

gotta go.. have a good sunday girls.

[prama]

hope you girls had a good weekend, so so glad spring is here! hooray!!!!!!!


we gave him some fish with potatoes and carrot. he cried eating it and then threw it all up.. poor bubba. I then ate it and it wasnt nice.. i tasted it earlier but not ate it, ate it. i should have added some cereal to make it yummier. maybe it was too bland for him.

my darling baby has a sore throat.. he sounds like joe ****er.. he woke up today and his voice went funny. im going to go to the chemist tomorrow and ask if he should have anything for his throat. thot of getting some teething gel as well.

oh, he did a caterpillar crawl yesterday! we were at mil's at he lifted his bum and moved his knees forward. he did this a couple of times. eeek.. im so so not ready.. the house is not ready. maybe this could be a blessing in disguise and steve wont leave his crap everywhere????

[Sueby]

HOORAY for Spring.

Can't wait to get outside.
Prama -- My DD is sick also. She has the sore throat and cough, runny nose and gunky eyes she did however sleep for 12 hours last night ( but I was up and down as she was coughing and making funny noises ) I am taking her to the Dr this afternoon. It was only a matter of time before she got it as we have all had it.

Caterpillar crawling go Lakshman, he he he. We call it commando crawling lol but its the same thing. Yes those days of knowing where they are, are coming to and end. Its fun though finding where they get too and what they get themselves into.


Have a good day everyone.


Sue

[jenjams]

Well done Lakshman!

hehe sue, we call it commando crawling too. Although Amber is not there yet! Hopefully Sophie feels better soon.

[prama]

hehe.. i thot commando crawling was when they moved by dragging their upper bodies.

im taking lakshman to his gp this afternoon, he's getting a cough too.

i gave him some fish, potato and carrot last night, he didnt seem to like it, and then threw it up.. this morninghe had yoghurt, he likes it but then threw it up at mil's.

it will be so much fun to do the outdoorsy things with bubs, huh.. im so excited!!
we're going on a picnic for father's day!

prama - Woohoo Lakshman on your caterpillar crawling! DD sometimes gets her legs under her, and other times gets on her hands and feet but can't actually move anywhere yet! I know what you mean about them moving being a blessing in disguise - it means hopefully my DH will start picking up after himself and closing cupboards/drawers/doors. I don't know why it is so difficult, but he doesn't usually seem able to do these things!

sue - you must be so excited about your weeked away, yay!! I hope you enjoy yourself - not long to go! Sorry to hear that DD is sick, I hope she gets better soon.

Jacqui - we haven't heard from you in a while. How are you??

Well, DD is still waking up at least once a night, sometimes a few times, but she is still much better than she used to be. She can put herself to sleep now, so it is much easier for me. She is a little sniffly today so I hope she isn't coming down with something. I am loving being a mum so much right now. She cracks me up all the time - she's always laughing and smiling about something and she has the most hilarious little belly laugh - I love her to bits!

Hi to everyone else. What is everyone up to for fathers day?
