Kel - rescue remedy is like homeopathic drops that you get in spray from a health food store.

Also available from pharmacy and also in drops. You can add it to water to drink if you don't want the spray.

Or in my case, I add a few drops to the blankets in my cat cages before the cats travel Works a treat!

I have a friend who said she used to get MASSIVE panic attacks after the breakup of her marriage, and rescue remedy helped her immensely. It's only about $13 and seems to be worth a billion times its weight in gold.

evening all

Tannis well done on doing a talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kellxx hope you get it all sorted out soon and feel better. hugs

[thepixie]

Well done Tan! Sounds like you did great - its not easy talking in front of lots of people! Re: the crying in her sleep, could it be teething? Beth was doing that when she first started teething.
Kel - I hope you feel better soon hon... A Bumbo is a little baby seat which holds them in a sitting position, there's a photo of Beth sitting in it here It's really good - since we got it the other night she is much better at sitting unaided without it as well, she can sit for five minutes or more without toppling over!
SW good luck with the big move....
Mel - everyone knows you're a harda$$!!
big to everyone, gotta run and shower and do dishes before the walk!

[Tannis]

Mel: Your a hard@ss hun and we love you for it! Haha

Thanks Feeb & Pix...Turns out Chris knows one of the dads that was there too and on his FB he wrote that they had a very very very long birthing class LOL.....It would be a bit boring for the guys I spose.

Pix: It could be teething actually, her hands were in her mouth when she did it last night but she was still asleep. Love the bumbo! Is there any warnings on it to say how long to leave bub in there for? I was going to get one but friend of mine said it was bad for their backs asthey aren't ready to sit yet (I know Beth has sat up though) but the way I see it is they can't sell it if its going to cause damage.

Staying home again today I think, although we might go for a swim later....its already 30 degrees here. Got to do some vacuuming today and clean up Jayden's toys so I can put the xmas tree up. Those with toddlers, how are they going with presents under the tree?? I think Jayden would open them so I'm not sure I'll put them under the tree until closer to the time.

Morning.

Tan - I'm glad your BFing talk went great! I can't believe you were so organised and cooked a roast and ate it before you left.
He's fighting sleep so much. I know one of these days he'll sleep of most the day to catch up.
WOW it's hot there! It's suppose to be only 25 here today. Might go for a walk with the boys. Idk yet.
Elijah never touched the presents under our tree, and still doesn't. He gets into everything else so it's strange that he leaves them alone. Lol.

Kell - AF is due soon, unfortunately. I guess she's the reason I'm feeling like this. I've never been this bad before. It's so awful. I don't know why it's gotten worse. I can just see Keira and Jesse playing together looking so cute too. My boys will probably be all rough and stuff together. Ugh. Not looking forward to that. Boys and wrestling.

Pixie - Cute picture. She looks so comfy in the Bumbo. I'm going to have to show DP that picture so he can see how good they really are cause at the moment I don't think he believes me.

Mez - Have fun with your MG today at your place!

Thanks for answering the TTC question. I was just curious as always. :P
We haven't really spoken about whether we'll have another or not. We always wanted an decent gap in ages between kiddies and before Elijah just wasn't ready either. Aswell as seeing how things are moneywise too.

Pixie & SW - That's like us. We are really glad we waited that little bit extra for my sake aswell as Elijah's too.

SW - I didn't think I'd have another good baby either. I always thought I couldn't get one any better then Elijah was. I was sure we'd have a devilchild second time around but Bubbablue is so much better then Elijah was. *touch wood*
I guess it'll probably come bite me in the ass if/when we have a 3rd. :P

everyone else.

Thanks for the support re: the Ratbag making Bubbablue bleed.
I was so so upset about it yesterday. I'm glad DP was on his way home when it happened. I was crying my eyes out.

Morning guys

Tan - awww thanks.. nice to know my attitoood is needed around here - hehehe... are you guys doing anything on the Friday - week after xmas? days have changed now - coming to bundy on the friday - not sure what date that is... uhh....2nd jan? Congrats on your talk too - I'm sure you did brilliantly!!!! *mwah*

Tenny - its hot here too babe..yuckkoo weather.. was thinking of taking the kids down to the shops this morning - but Miss M is having an unsettled day (could be the shots yesterday, or that she still has a cough) so don't know if I will or not.

Pixie - uh thanks I think? lol... i've been looking at those seats, but really, do I really need another baby thing in this teeny tiny little house!!

Miss M was SUPPOSED to be asleep at 8 - I put her down and she started to fall asleep, but had a huge coughing fit, choking and stuff, so i had to get her back up, give her some water, and have only just put her back down. .and i can hear her singing so she is obviously not asleep!!!!! Damn vaccinations.. screw up our routine. lol

[Jewel]

The damn vaccinations do screw up the routines with us too.
Poor little mite and her coughing. Bubbablue hasn't got that much of a cough, thankgod. Elijah does though. It's awful and chesty.

[Tannis]

Tenny: Elijah is such a good boy! Oh 25 would be nice, its too late for us to go outside now cause its too hot, although we might go out for a little bit Jayden usually gets too hot and wants to come in anyway. Money is another reason I think we'll stick to 2 kids, although we should be ok with 3 we will be able to give so much more to 2....I think of our holidays to Melb when I have to pay for all of us 5 full tickets isn't cheap! haha

Mel: Not sure what we are doing then, I'll chat to Chris. I doubt we will be going away anywhere so it should be fine. Thanks re the talk. Hope Mehkelti settles for you, shots had put Ash out a bit too....still is, unless she is just getting pesty

I bought a toy hammock for Ashlea's room, I have pretty much only 1 corner to put it in, now I have to find the drill and the right drill piece to put it in. I just made the cot up too, can't wait til her room is done! We have 2 air con units in there atm though waiting for my niece's BF to install them in the kids rooms so I can't do much until that happens.
