bun, i guess day care and family day care is quite different. have you paid a visit to both of them?
i used this website to see if the DC we looked at was registered and what their history was National Childcare Accreditation Council - NCAC
sorry quick one.. going to go check on the little monster
Thanks for thinking of me! That really makes me feel better.
We had a great weekend. Jasper decided to sleep in until 7.30 both days, so he needed only one daysleep. So we had plenty of time to venture out and do things together. This kept my mind off all the not so nice things that are happening atm.
On Saturday we went to a carriage driving event and one of the drivers stopped his little pony so Jasper could pet it. Was sooo funny; Jasper just kept giving the pony big cuddles by leaning his head against its neck and head, sooo cute.... Next year he will be asking for a pony for Xmas I think!
Still no teeth here; six (4 top and 2 bottom) visible under the gum ready to come out, but so far nothing yet. He is walking a lot now, and is getting better and better. He can pick things up from the floor now and carry them around.
es - thanks for the lovely card!! we only picked it up yesterday.. that was so thoughtful of you, im so touched!
well, i got my sickie.. am at home w a bad cough, voiceless and a headache. poopy's at dc.. im so glad i got to sleep in!! i woke up at 6 to give him a feed and help steve get him ready for dc. then went back to sleep at 7 and woke up at 9ish and stayed in bed till 10ish. cant remember when was the last time i did that..
im off to the shops to get some stuff. i was supposed to rest, yes, but did do some hse work and need to do a bit more.. but will take it easy.
will write more later. xoxoxox
No worries Prama, did you have a good birthday weekend? Sorry to hear you got another cold, but on the upsite; you got to sleep in and stay in bed, yayyy! Hope you feel better soon. And by the way, just forget the housework; opportunities to stay in bed don't come around that often anymore ...
Wow so much has happened in such a short period of time!!
Esme, I'm so sorry to hear your news, Like Sue said at least the first test was a benign result, My Mum had a lump removed years ago now, not a great time but she is fine now and hasn't had anymore since that one, I'll be thinking of you hun, Let us know if there is anything we can do? xox Not long now, once you can see the teeth, it shouldn't be too long...well fingers crossed.
Prama, my dear girl, you are not having a good run of late are you? Sorry to hear that your sick ATM. Enjoy the sleepy times, DH got up to Z on Sunday morning and I work up at 11.48am HUGE YAY for me, I didn't think I could sleep for that long anymore..Must have needed it, Mummies have big days too. LOL. Be kind to yourself, Lap up the "I'm sick treatment" Hun youe deserve it!! Hows poopy going teeth wise.
Sueby, I'm so proud of Miss Sophie's New clothing purchases, Sounds like you have a little fashionista on your hands...Instantly jealous!! LOL!! I would love a girl next. Haven't dabbled into twilight books, have been hooked on some soapies of late....I bought the One Tree Hill box set and have done nothing, God I have a TV addiction ....great!! LOL!! Oh well things could be worse.
Bun, How is the daycare hunting going? i have friends who use both systems and both swear by their chosen one so I guess that is good? We are going to start swimming next week, so that will give Z another "outting" for the week. He loves the water bath/surf/pool so hopefully he will enjoy it. I think if we didn't have some mothers guilt their would be something wrong, Hun nobody else knows what you need or has any right to judge you, You need to do what's right for you and your family, like you said the social interaction will be great, You have some "Adult time" whether you go back to PT work or not...Whats not to love? And Bollocks to anyone who makes you fel bad about it!
Jen, Wow on the possible Bub, Don't stress about it until you know for sure, The Mini pill might have still been in your system, Time of month, It hasn't been that long since you finished feeding etc...Do you want to be Preggers? Oooo I'm kinda excited though..Keep us posted...How is Miss A going ATM?? Cold gone? Z was sick a couple of weeks ago, awful hey!!
Karlie, Great to see you back, I missed you, Cup cake queen...ooo yummo! I'm on a 21 day detox ATM so I'm salvating like a puppy at the sound of them, No processed foods for me, The trays sounds like a really cute pressie? Did you go back? What's happening with Master J and Princess T? How is Zuey? Have been thinking of you guys?
Sorry have been MIA again I went back to NSW to see my mum, she got home from Egypt safe and sound, Photo's are amazing. Z is going great, walking like a champion, trys to run but bops down, He is saying Ta now and claps when he does something funny, I can't believe how much they change in such a short amount of time, it's amazing. I'm having a linen party in 2 weeks...I got sucked into it by a friend starting out, erg I hate those sorts of parties, LOL hopefully it will be a good excuse for a catch up? Not much really been happening, Z still on one feed I can;t seem to drop the nighttime/bedtime feed. I have 3 weeks to try and give it away, My Best friend is moving over from NZ and I think an alcoholic bevvie is on the cards...Ohh can't wait. Well I'm off to have a shower in peace, Yay!! Have a great day everyone.
Sonya - Great to hear you had a lovely trip away. Good to get out of the house and catch up with your mum. Yay on Z walking and talking; they do change really quick don't they? We are still on 2 'feeds' a day; morning and night. After my bb has settled down from the biopsy will drop at least one feed and I think the other one soon after. I don't think Jasper is going to drop them by himself, so will have to encourage him a little.. Yay on your best friend moving over from NZ; is she going to live close to you?
Thanks for telling me your mum's experience; it makes me feel better to know that it is possible to have a benign lump removed and that all is good now. I have the second biopsy friday, so will probably get the results mid next week. I just want to get it out so I can stop worrying about it.
Prama - How are you? Hope you are feeling a little better soon!
Prama - can't stop him eating now! He gets excited when he sees me getting the highchair ready and wolves everything down. He eats just about anything and everything. Wasn't too keen on meat, but yesterday he couldn't get enough of the roast chook, so that might be changing too. Sometimes I can't believe how much he loves his food now after struggling to get anything into him until about 9 months!
Esme - No worries at all, Mum is the only one in our family that has ever had any lumps before and as I said she is great, has had no more and there was no complications with her surgery, she does go every year for a check up though and self checks each month. I'm sure you will be fine. Friday probably looks like ages away I know, but hang in the hunni and try and remain positive. Big hugs.
Prama - Great to hear you throat is not hurting anymore makes a bad sitution bearable. Hope your work day flys by and your outta there soon. How's Poopey?
Zane is a machine with his food too, crazy hey how they put it away. I weighed him yesterday and he was 9.6kg, I swear he has hollow legs!! A typical day for him goes like this...
Breakfast - 3 weetbix with milk and hot water, Water to drink
Morning tea - Yogurht or Custard, Mueslie Finger
Lunch - 1 sometimes 2 sandwhichs...fillings vary & banana
Afternoon snack - Yogurht or Custard (whatever he didn't have at morning snack) Cheese pieces sometimes some biccies
Dinner - Whatever we are having, last night it was lasagne with salad
BF before bed
Yes he has started eating fruit....Yay!!!! Fruit toast was what started it...Yay for Fruit toast.
Obviously the foods differ somewhat from day to day but the qauntity is pretty much the same, He is a piggy, Definately not like shopping for 2 anymore.
apologies for my horrific spelling today, just not really on the ball. Off to watch Dr Phil...Sad I know. Z has been asleep for nearly 2 hours crazy, No afternoon sleep for today I'm guessing.
Yay Zane for eating his fruit! It is so nice when they finally eat something you want them to eat, isn't it? They sure are little piggies; Jasper feels a lot heavier now than a month ago, will have to put him on the scales again.
A typical day for us is like this:
7am bf
8am cup of porridge with milk and one slice of toast with vegemite
9.15 morning nap
11.30 lunch: one slice of bread, fruit, meat/cheese, sometimes a finger food vegie and milk in sippy cup
2pm custard
2.15 arvo nap
4pm yoghurt with fruit/slice of raisin toast/mini muffin
6pm 5 vegie mix with meat or cheese
7.15 bf then bed
Very similar, just has two snacks in the arvo and none in the morning, otherwise he isn't hungry for lunch. Sonya; does Zane eat salad? Jasper doesn't seem to be able to chew things like thin slices of cucumber yet, so I haven't even tried lettuce...
I think we will be down to one sleep soon too. We tried it on the weekend and he was fine with that, but the last few days he needed his arvo sleep again. Do you put him to bed earlier at night if he doesn't do a arvo sleep or do you keep him up? Jasper gets quite cranky after a while unless we are out and about.
Gees, DD really doesn't eat much compared to the others. She is still very light for her age and while some days she eats heaps, other days I really struggle getting food into her.
On a typical day she would eat the following:
7.30: BF
8: one weetbix (sometimes one a half) with full cream milk, a little of my toast with vegemite and sometimes some fruit (maybe half a banana or a few grapes)
morning tea: fruit or raisin toast, if anything and maybe a small cup of milk before her nap
lunch: If I am out she likes to eat whatever I am having (she LOVES pasta - if I am out and order pasta, she will often eat a fair bit of it), if we are home then a sandwich with lots of cheese and ham, plus some fruit (but she just pulls the sandwich apart and eats the ham and cheese and not the bread!)
afternoon tea: maybe some fruit or yoghurt
dinner: whatever we are eating, or else I will make her some pasta and vegies if what we are eating is not appropriate for her. Then BF and bed.
She seems to pick at things a lot during the day but doesn't eat a lot at each meal. Frustrating when you are a worried mum trying to make your bub put on some weight!
Thanks everyone for the advice re day care options. I am checking out the fam day care place tomorrow so will see how I feel after that.
sue - you have talked me into reading the Twilight books. Once I have finished the book I am reading now I think I will go out and buy them.
esme - I can't get Catherine to eat salad either, she's just not interested in it. I think we are down to one nap a day here too, she hasn't wanted her second nap for the last week unless she was up extra early so had an early morning nap. It's a bugger - I like my two breaks a day when she was down for naps!
prama - I hope you get your voice back soon!
sonya - good to hear from you again. What a great sleep in you had on Sunday, yay! Us mums deserve it. I am thinking of weaning DD too because it would be nice to be able to have a few drinks again!
where has this week gone? where has this month gone??
Bun --- Yeah for twilight!! I also have the movie so if you would like it let me know. Big W and K-Mart are the cheapest to buy them from. I am going to buy a set also as i have just been borrowing my friends. There is also a trailer for the next movie online New Moon movie trailer. My addiction is a bit sad really I am reliving my teenage years. But i just love it. Also have the music soundtrack OK sound like a freak now. Hopefully you will understand when you finish the first book!!!
Our day is something like this
7am milk
8am breakfast weetbix with milk toast and vegemite
9.30 - 10.00 am fruit
11am sometimes sleep
1pm lunch sandwich / yoghurt
3pm milk / dry biscuits / fruit
5.30 dinner whatever we are having and can't get enough icecream
7.00 7.30 bottle and bed
DD is occasionally having only one sleep of one hour eeekkkk. Yesterday she went to bed at 11am up at 12 and then didn't go to bed until 7.30pm. I tried to put her down after the school run but she wasn't interested. Makes for a long afternoon with two other tired cranky pants after school and kinder.
Bronzdbebe -- Oprah after Dr Phil???? I have started watching Oprah at 1pm just for a little sanity break DS2 and I make train tracks and watch Oprah. he he
Esme -- have you had your biopsy result yet???? Thinking of you.
Prama -- hope you are feeling a bit better today and have got your voice back. We are planning a trip to Sydney in the September school holidays maybe we could catch up????
thanks sue!!
im better today, i got some strepsils with ibuprofen fr the chemist and i feel better! at least i can swallow w/o pain. hopefully my voice comes back soon.
would love to meet up in sept!! when are school hols? we are away to msia and back on the 5th of sept.
poopy seems to sleep longer at day care than at home
Thanks girls! Will have the biopsy tomorrow and my best guess is the results some time next week, so wish me luck.
Prama - Good to hear you are feeling better. Yay on going back to Malaysia! So jealous! We won't be going over for the next few years or so .
Sue - Eeekkk!!!! Only one hour sleep during the day?? I thought when they would go to one sleep they would sleep for longer... although the couple of times we had Jasper on one sleep he only slept for 1.5 hours.. will try to keep him on two sleeps as long as possible!
Sonya - I love watching dr. Phil! Just can't get it anymore now , ah well, all saints repeat will have to do.
Bun - To me it sounds like Catherine is eating quite a bit and a nice variety of foods; she has come a long way! But I know, as a mum you just want them to eat properly . DP's 22 month old niece eats less then Catherine and she is a healthy, active little girl; just doesn't need much!
As for me; just getting nervous for tomorrow and not looking forward to a week of not knowing and jumping whenever the phone rings... And a weekend with a sore boob, but that is the least of the worries. Was looking forward to going shopping after the biopsy, but MIL is looking after Jasper and she has to go back to work, so no shopping for us .
esme - ooh will be thinking of you tomorrow, will say my prayer. the wait's terrible. hope dp can help heaps on the weekend so you get a bit more rest.
wish we were closer, we could let the boys go feral together and i can help you out. xoxoxo
we're going to m'sia in aug as my cousin's getting married. we usually go back in dec. but yeah, flying to malaysia is cheaper than to NLD.
she's like a sister to me, since we both haveng got sisters. she lives in teh uk now and is marrying a nigerian.. so interesting. cant wait to see what their kids will look like!!! probably beautiful curly curly hair!
Glad to hear Z is eating roughly the same, makes me feel a little better.
Bun - How did fam DC go? Are you any closer to making your decision? I wouldn't worry about C she sounds perfect to me. Z loves pasta too, especially penne. LOL. Funny little things.
Esme - darlin i hope everything went Ok today, When do you get the results? Let us know, I think I'm speaking for everyone when I say we are all praying for you and wishing and sending you lots of healthy vibes. Good Luck.
Prama - Globe trotting again...Sooooo jealous!! I bet their kids will be beautiful too.
Sue - I think that the Twighlight book people should start endorsing you for publicity...LOL.....You making me want to read them. Will have to check them out at Big W this weekend.
I got the best bargain off ebay yesterday a purple GHD straightner with all the extra's hairdyer, heatmat, clips,DVD, bag for $260!! YAY!!! I told Dh it was my mothers day pressie...no more slippers/toasters/other houshold items for me....All he has to do now is get a card...surely he can do that...I have faith!!!
