Just having a cup a liquid sanity too, Sonya... Need it in the morning; LOL, I can't wait for Jasper to go down for his morning sleep, because it means coffee and BB!
Cookie - we are on three BF per day; morning, after lunch and before bed. I kind of want to cut down, but don't have the heart... He just loves it too much, so we just keep going for a bit longer. If Alex loves his fruit, vegies and milk/dairy, I don't think you have to worry about his milk/formula intake as he will get enough of everything through his food. I have seen some similar questions in the bf/solids general discussion with some very good answers, maybe have a read back through them? Jasper doesn't eat much meat either, I just try to give him egg, dairy or tuna everyday with lunch to get some protein into him.
Sonya - I hear you on hearing every noise during the night for the first couple of nights when DH isn't home. I do the same. Just when you are used to being by yourself and start to sleep well again they get home... DP came home yesterday; so I am back to sleeping well. Only ten days (nine nights?) to go...
Karlie - So sad that MIL can't even be bothered to buy him a decent present... I just can't believe people can be like that. I am very lucky; my PIL are worth their weight in gold; they are there when you need them and even though DS is grandchild no. 7 he still gets spoiled rotten.
Prama - How's Poopy? Did he sleep a bit last night? Jasper might be getting teeth too, as his hands have not been out of his mouth the last couple of days and he is having nappy rash again. I have managed to get some Hylands tablets, so we are all ready for the big event!
It sounds like I am missing out on a lot of pictures as I am not on FB... does anyone know if I can have a look at your profiles without having one myself? I am afraid I might get addicted to yet another internet site, so have tried to stay away so far... BB is taking up all my internet time!
LOL, the mutts loved the lentils! I have never had them myself, but since they are high on protein, I thought I might give them a go. I have to say I didn't like them too much.... Have put a couple of spoonfulls through his vegie mix, but gave the rest to the dogs who liked it very much.
thanks girls..
karlie - I guess steve was patient enough, im sure he would have given him something if the old bugger had said something to me directly..
i was just thinking that in a situation like the fires, would he say he only wants a certain group of ppl to save him or take donations from them.. sigh!
ash - poopy has a bf in the morning and before sleep. at lunch he has cow's milk.
sonya - would be great if you came up to syd!! the boys would have a great time together and we could do coffee etc!!
I work at Austar, so not only are we setting up a fund, but also providing free Austar at the relief centres in vic and qld. also helping the schools that austar supports. i think we are also organising a relief concert.
esme - poopy didnt sleep well at all, he was grizzling and crying in his sleep. he woke up at 9ish cried, gave him some hyland tablets and he went back to sleep. then he got really bad at 4am and we brought him to our bed and he slept well. so i think if he wakes up again 9ish 10pm, we might have him in our bed for the whole night. i know we shouldnt after all that tresillian but he's in so much pain and it affects him in the mornings. he's so unsettled and clingy and he cries and cries when i leave him at day care. maybe if he sleeps w us he might feel better in teh morning.
this morning as i was buckling him up in his carseat on teh way to day care, i said 'i love you' in my usual sing song way, and he said 'ah aaah ah' in teh same sing song way.. sigh.. i love him so much!
not sure if you can see our pictures, ive set it up so only my friends can see mine. will test it when i get home.
ooh love jasper's red hair!!!
i hope bubs get their cards on time, i sent it off last friday.
i was trying to post again and it got timed out for some reason.
i was saying karlie - it's pretty p!ss poor to give him just a freedo.. she can save herself some trouble next time. there's a difference between 'something small' and 'cheap' 'couldnt be bothered'. so sorry jake..
and isn't great our thread has become so active again!!!
We got 4 cards today thanks to Lakshman ( so cute ) , Amber ( love the fairy ), Tara & Jake ( cute pig ) and Zane ( Sophie is fascinated with the front of the card ).
Prama -- oh hun it does get easier. But you will always miss them. I am working this afternoon and the kids will be at home with DH and I will still think of them all the time. Big hugs
Ash -- DD has a bottle of 200mls morning and night, and will occaisionally have a third at around 3pm ish. Haven't started cows milk yet but she has yoghurt and milk on her cereal. I am sure you are doing everything just fine its just we all question ourselves from time to time.
Karlie -- i would need to vent too if MIL did that to us. Some people just don't get it and are very selfish. Vent away anytime you need too.
Esme -- he he I am the same when sophie goes to bed in the morning it is coffee and BB and I am scared if I get into facebook I will be on the "puter" as Nicholas says even more!
OK have to go my time on puiter is up! DS2 craking the sads
Hi to everyone talk later
Sue
Cookie-- had to laugh at the boob thing what is it about boys DS2 still does that.
Have a great day
O Prama, you poor thing, Your not having a good run are you, first the grouch in woolies is not worth your thoughts or tears I know that is harder said than done but hun if you keep thinking all those what if's you will eat yourself up. Judging by the way that man behaved he probably wouldn't have saved/donated to people in general regardless of what they looked like, I was born in Australia, I look anglo, & I have been called names like a white sl*t in a country I was born in? It's sad but there are very closed minded people and unfortunately we live in a world that while it's not accepted, racism and other forms of predjudice are everywhere. please don't let these people make you feel like you are not worthy because you are!!! Just like me and all the other people out there! Sorry to hear about poopy's teeth, fingers crossed they will ease off soon. xoxox
The closest thing I have come to a "I love you" from Zane is big cuddles and last night when I having some tears over the fires he was pointing at the them on my face as I cuddled him? Awww shucks that will do..He loves me!!LOL!!
Esme I have my profile set to only allow my friends access to, I'll add DP if you like?? Zane is really fair too, he sometimes looks like he has reddish tinges through his hair but who knows what color it will end up, Jasper is such a cutie!! I tried Z on some hylands I went and got some too, he seems good on them, fingers crossed Jasper is too!
Hey Jen, did Amber go off to sleep ok? Zane is always bad going down in the morning but it's his best sleep, God love them!!
Did the Aircon guy come karlie? Hope you got out of your jamies in time. I just got an email from my MIL this morning asking about photo's from Z's birthday, am in 2 minds about weather to send some or not, gosh I'm nasty, sometimes I feel like she doesn't deserve to get photo's and phone calls because she makes little to no effort yet expects so much in return.
OMG, thread so active i am getting a bit lost....
just a short one, my FB name is Kate Deane...
prama - just want to give you a big hug hang in there tiger!
sorry everyone else, am knackered, still having ruff nites with my little monkey - molars are thru, but theres lumps everywhere in his little gob...must be more on the way ...
will post again soon,
got our first card yestereday - thanx amber and jen - very cute!
Yay on the cards arriving. I have to go check our mail.
Amber cried for a bit this morning but eventually went to sleep. She is not up having lunch.
Kato- Hopefully those teeth come through soon and your little man goes back to being a happy fella.
Sonya- Hmmmm what is it with these in laws? Not that I can complain about mine but I reckon if they want stuff, they should be equally as giving.
Esme- Yay you could see the pics. You must join fb! Oh we have a red head in the making here too and very fair skinned.
Sue- you must join fb too. I love the pic of Sophie in your ticker.
Oh dear, Amber is throwing her sippy cup full of milk around. Why do they make so much mess?
Big Prama! I hope he will get better soon... It must be so hard for you to leave him at daycare; I think I would just be bawling my eyes out.. Sooo cute that he said 'I love you' Those moments just make your heart melt, don't they? Thanks, Jasper has got lovely strawberry blond hair and the fair skin that comes with it. Not too handy with the Ozzie sun; might have to ship him off to Europe; my parents would love that!
Jen - I just clicked on the link in your sig and got your photo page! Amber is such a cutie!! Did you manage to get her to sleep? I can't get your page. I just remembered that DP has got a page, so might try his page when he is home...
