Jillian - You poor bloody thing. I know how it feels to have no sleep and to be struggling with life's crap and 2 kids..so you have it that much worse with 3. I really hope you can get some sleep soon! I hope poor little Immy's botty gets better. That's gotta be a bit ouchie poor thing. Hope that settles too. And yeouch for DH today.. But it's good that he is doing it. And they recover very quickly. Must be a good feeling to have that knowing that you have a complete family and are ready to move on to another phase of your lives.
Sal - You didnt sounds flippant the other day love. I knew what you mean about the easy part being that I found what I wanted to do. I have just been stressing out about applying. The whole application things is a bit scary as I dont want to get it wrong and I think it all has to be done online! I have to know exactly what forms to fill out and what things I need to register for etc. Urgh. Oh well..I will have everything sorted by the end of the month fingers crossed. Lets hope they see that this mature age student means business. I keep getting told by friends that if you want it bad enough you will get in. So just letting go of the stress and fear and saying..right..well If I am meant to do this...I will.
Oh and as for the cloth nappies..I used them with Tyra and was going to use them with Kobi but so far have only used them half a dozen times. Its almost like she is getting too big for them now and they are a pain. See my uncle bought us boxes and boxes of nappies for her that got us through like over 3 months and so by the time we finished those..we hadnt used cloth. I use them now if she is just going to kick around on the floor and we arent going anywhere and she isnt going to bed.
Laura - You poor thing missing your family. I think if moving back is what you want then you just gotta do it. But before you do maybe we should get Kobi and Luxxe to catch up?? hehe. I love Perth so moving there would be a cinch for me lol.
I hope your rotten cold goes away. This same cold (similar) attacked me a few weeks ago too and I know my sleep deprivation brought it along and made it worse. Rest and relax and take all the meds/rememdies you can and I hope it clears up asap.
Kobi is great..one wake up at 5:30 this morning accompanied by a teeny feed and then back to bed til 7 and she got up and played with Tyra. She went down for a nap at about 9:45. Hoping she sleeps a while cos I am trying to regulate her sleeps and get her to have 2 decent sleeps a day so that she can go to bed at 7:30. Plus putting her down for a nap at 2ish is useless cos I have to wake her to get Tyra.
Anyway we plod along doing the day to day stuff.
She is heaps better with her solids though her poo is not regular like it was when she was soley B/F. We get a ripper of a poo every couple of days. They dont appear to give her grief and they are softish. Not solid and not runny..but mushy..sorry for the TMI description lol. She is really enjoying her solids now though but if she didnt get them I dont think she'd care. I am giving her tins/jars at the moment and she is eating around half a tin/jar in one sitting. She doesnt like the baby gel though..that jelly stuff. Not keen. lol...but she loves her yoghurts, custards and vegies.
Oh and back to the study thing for one second..I am going down to the local community college today..cos I am enrolling in a General Education for Adults certificate course. I figure going back to study and get used to it is probably a good idea plus it might help when I sit the STAT and also is only going to benefit my application rather than hinder it! Looking forward to that.
Ok I am going to go have a potter and be lazy for the morning
Have a good day everyone and to those tired/sick..I hope you feel better soon and please get some rest.
