[Tannis]

Just popped in to say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA!!! Hope you had a great day!

Kell: I hope Jesse is ok! Can you give him milk? Will he drink that even if you make a banana smoothie or something thats pretty filling...thats if he will even drink that I guess! Its so sad seeing then like that!

Missy: Hope Liam's temp comes down quickly! Yay on getting your backyard started! GL at the Paed tomorrow.

Sorry no more personals, gotta drive SIL home

Might be back later

Kellxx - I feel for poor little Jesse. It is like he has figured out that the food made him be sick, and he is too scared to eat anything. maybe ask him if there is anything that he would like and tell him he can pick it out from the shops or something, and then you could go get it with him like an adventure. or you could try some sweet yoghurt, maybe you could tell him it is special and won't make him feel sick so he feels reassured. he will start eating again soon I am sure, it was just probably a big shock to his system, having never been sick before.

Hi Tan, Zee and Tasia. I hope you are having a good night.

[Anastasia]

Jess- Hey sweety, hope you had a good day. How's gorgeous Georgia?

[somewoman]

maybe ask him if there is anything that he would like and tell him he can pick it out from the shops or something

am having visions of a two year old chowing down on caviar and pate

[*Belle*]

Tannis - any news on your FIL? thinking of you. xxx

Zee - didnt get a sms?? hope you are ok.

Hello to everyone, I have to head off to bed now... will be back tomorrow after Taras appointment.

[Arimeh]

Hi guys - no personals tonight - sorry

Been pretty crap day. Crap day that followed a crap night. DS... well I don't even want to talk about his behaviour over the last few days. Let's just say I need more than 3 hours sleep of a night.

Going to clinic tomorrow so will do up a list then. If I get a chance.

Hugs to all
*mwah*

[ShootingStar]

Belle.. nah didnt have the flu, just diorhea. No idea why. I didnt feel sick or even have any pains.. just a whole lot of the runs. But my tummy is still a little tender when i bend. Weird. Maybe you had a bit of Gastro mixed with the flu? It seems to be going around. I guess every baby is different. Keira's formula fed so cant really compare with sleeping through iykwim. But she has been since she was 3 weeks old. Jesse didnt sleep through until 9 weeks. Keira is very much a people person. Not nesessarily clingy, but she can be in her rocker and will start whinging and carry on just so that you come and sit next to her. As soon as she sees you she lights up with smiles. You get up and walk away, she'll carry on again.

Mel.. oh hun hope everything is ok.

[Zee]

Happy Bday princess Julia!!

Missy- Awww Liam had his needles aswell , I was originally just taking Lucas to the clinic nurse thats now at the childrens doc for his 6 week check up (yep a week late) and she said she might as well do the needles today instead of me coming back next week.
Yeah I met her when I went up to your house, she answered the door. She is such a great help for you. Damn Kmart didnt have it in stock even though it was on layby so I had to go back tonight and pick it up, DH is setting it up now.. so much for his xmas pressie.

Kellxx- I wonder if its an age thing? Laila goes through that from time to time, she hasnt really ate anything for 3 days now... she has done this a few times before. Banana smoothies are grezat when they are like this.

Feeb- WHAT?? Sorry but she shouldnt have been near Jacob, she should know better. I wont let anyone with coldsores near Laila or Lucas because when my sister was 3 months old my uncle kissed her when he had a coldsore (this was 14 yrs ago) and she got so sick, started having fits etc and stayed in hospital for a few months. She had got Encephalitis from it. Im not trying to scare you but it is serious (im sure you knew this already though)

The Pixie/Bear- Have a great night out tonight!!

Tenny- Your so lucky, im still doing night feeds bout midnight, 3ish and 6ish

Tasia- They did that to me when Laila was a few weeks old aswell!

Sydney peoples- You can come to my place for meet ups aswell (if I can get involved with your meet up kell, Kristy & Missy). I was thinking about that today cause the older ones get so bored in the prams.. After xmas there will be heaps of stuff for the kids to do here cause Laila is getting a swing/slide set, sand pit rocker thing that someone sits on 1 end and someone sits on the other end & cubby house. Then there is the play gym and jumping castle that she got last yr.

Jess- Hmmm see i have a diff prob, I have no boobs!! Im suprised that I have any milk LOL

Mary- Time does fly hey? Think we are all in such a daze cause we are tired LOL. Glad she is sleeping better. Lucas is ok, though he has a few bad hrs during the day aswell.. most babys do.

Mel- You changed your name!! Oh I tell DH he is gunna get home one day to find that I have ran away.

[Tannis]

Mez: Izzy will sleep though soon enough, did you say the new formula is going good? Maybe once she is use to that she will settle better for you.

Jess: Love them while you've got them LOL....I hated them at first with Jayden but missed them when they went...luckily I went up a cup size anyway to what I was before I was pregnant...This time they are bigger but not as big as I was with Jayden, yet I have more milk this time, go figure haha

Zee: Aww poor Lucas having his needles too, how did he cope with it? I love banana smoothies but Jayden still will not touch any milk drink unless its in his bottle!

Have a great night out Rach & Geoff!

Kell: Whats Jesse's mood like during the day? Is he really quiet? Might be worth a trip to the Dr's if he doesn't yet again tomorrow?? I was talking to a friend today and she is having troubles with her toddler too and the baby is the good one....same in our house too, just lucky the babies are being good otherwise it would make dealing with toddler issues that much harder!

I uploaded a few pics:

Jayden only asked for his dummy once today and I was able to distract him without causing a tantrum...he had plenty of tantrums today but not because of his dummy. He trashed his room the other day cause he wouldn't sleep (that is one of the photos) and today he pulled out all the tissues in his tissue box (got photos of that too but not uploaded). So I made him get a cushion from the lounge and go and sit in the corner for 5mins, he kept crying and saying "sorry mummy sorry" It was so cute I had to walk away so I didn't give in....The rest of the day he was an angel even though he didn't have a sleep, now he has gone to bed with no dummy again...he has also slept through for the past 5 nights (I think)..fingers crossed he keeps it up!

No real dramas with Ashlea, she is pretty much a dream baby! Although I changed her nappy at about 1am this morning and fed her, she definitely got milk and she fed well on 1 side and only a little on the other but this morning when she woke at 7am her nappy was dry, maybe 1 wee in it? That doesn't seem normal does it? She gets heaps of wet nappies during the day.

Wish there were more ppl in QLD, I'd love to have a mothers group! Can't wait to go down the Sunny Coast though, I'm so excited! Mel still figuring out what Chris is doing so I can work out what we can do.

[Jewel]

Kell - I hope Jesse starts eating something, anything. It's so frustrating when they don't eat.

Tan - Cute pics. What a mess Jayden made. About the wet nappy, that happened to us today. I even thought DP had already changed Haydie cause he was dry, but all the other times his nappies are really full. Idk. It's weird.

Zee - Poor little man. I hope he was ok.

Tasia - Don't you hate when you have to go to an appointment like that and it's a total waste of time. Grr.

Pixie/Bear - Have a great night! I hope Beth was settled while you guys were out.

Belle - Your pictures are adorable. You have goregous girls!!

Mez, Missy, SW, Mel, Jess and everyone else.

[Tannis]

Tenny: Maybe we can start toilet training them if they aren't wetting overnight LOL I'll mention it at Ashlea's 6-8wk check, I'm not too concerned I guess as she is getting plenty during the day and she is healthy looking.

Tasia: When I went on maternity leave with Jayden centerlink booked me an appt with a job agency when I was 38 or 39wks pregnant. I had to go up 3 flights of stairs and answer all these qu's on what type of work I was looking for. I told her I wasn't looking for work and she asked me why not!?? "Umm cause I'm having a baby next week??" She goes "Oh ok just answer it for when you are returning to the workforce then" Not the sharpest tool in the shed!!

I should have gone to sleep earlier I think instead of waiting up for her feed....I do it everynight and its catching up with me.

I did 6kms in 20mins on the exercise bike today....I worked up such a sweat, it kinda felt good! Need to do something (other than situps, I hate them) to lose my stomach...any ideas??
One more pic for tonight
