men and their asian bird flu! PSML em! Gosh I hope you feel better soon. Touch wood, I haven't been sick since having Autie but knowing my luck it would happen while dan is away. The whole being pregnant with a baby/toddler thing is the only thing holding me back from TTC. Though we were naughty the other day and I think it was at a bad time so I am waiting to see if I will pay for our 'stuff it' attitude. LOL TMI?! Congrats on the job. Hope it all goes well with day care - have you taken him in for some play visits to get used to it?

Jess, you should just jump in there if you want to go to playgroup. Don't worry, half the other mums will be just as shy and it's easy to talk babies if you have nothing else you want to say. for Ethan and his standing - how clever!

Sacha - we have been for a look around but haven't left him there by himself. My sister actually works there and runs the toddler room next door to the baby room, so am i pretty confident she will help him out if they decide to sticky tape up his mouth and lock him in a cupboard. There was an article about that in the paper the other week and i just thought God, another thing for parents to feel guilty about!
As for your question about the Brauers Teething relief, I haven't noticed it with Tom but he does spit out 99% of it. I am now trying those Teething relief tablets and they seem pretty good.

Jess - you should give playgroup a go. I am the shyest person ever but it is so much easier to talk to people now - you just talk about kids and if other conversation follows then great! You can go once and if you hate it, don't go back. Are you in a mum's group or anything? I can't believe Ethan is standing up! He is obviously doing very well after his horrible time with the spider bite.

Em - well done on the new job! Thats ace that your sister works at the childcare centre Tom will go to, what a relief! Had to laugh about the bird flu...oh so true!! Hope you start feeling better it must be horrible, surely Tom will understand mummy isnt feeling well and be a good little boy!!

Well you will all appreciate this...had another look at the For Sale sign and the rubbish hanging out of the bin, a nappy in one of those orange nappy bags......

Dh is on a bucks weekend this weekend so prepare to hear me whinge!!

[razzle]

Megan - argh! Bucks parties suck don't they? Whinge away, we will all understand!!

Em - a couple of the girls at mother's group today were raving about those teething tablets. Might have to try them when Oliver's teeth start popping through, whenever that may be! about the Asian bird flu!! Hope you find out what is making you sick, must be awful for you.

Sacha - great to hear Autumn isn't waking up every hour now. Hopefully she will start stretching it out even more and give her mummy some rest!

Jess - glad you are getting some more sleep. I suffered from insomnia years ago and it was not nice! Those patches sound great. Might be good for my DF, he is onto his fourth week of no cigarettes and is getting headaches. Well done to Ethan on the standing! It is scary though isn't it. You should definitely go and join a playgroup. I am a very shy person also but I started up a mothers group all by myself!! It was scary and I thought it was going to be a lot of hard work but it has turned out really well and I have met some great ladies.

Well DF is out of his cave now. Gosh these men......he was worried about some stuff at work and also Lexxen's behaivour. He knows I am worried about the exact same stuff at the moment but still couldn't talk to me about it.

Oliver is getting over his cold. He says dad-dad ALL the time, and so clearly now! He seems to have dropped a feed too. He used to feed every 3 hours during the day but now he is going 5 hours between his breakfast feed and lunch one. I got a bit sad cause I realised that one day there wouldn't be any bfeeding at all but that will be a while yet!!!

Had mother's group again today. Four new ladies came and they were all lovely!

What has everyone got planned for the Easter break? DF wanted to go away up the coast somewhere but I don't really want to spend too much money. We might take the kids to Australia Zoo, it is only about 20 mins from here and we haven't ever been!

Hope you are all well.

Hi ladies

**Whinge Alert**sorry

My eyes are hanging out my head atm but Ethan is still up Due to being very over stimulated right before bed time so he is now soooo over tired and just wont give in (thanks DH) Dh is trying to settle him atm but told me i have to stay up to because he is tired and has to go to bed soon so i will have to deal with bubba!! I said that he should just go to bed and let me settle him and he said that im a grumpy **** and that if i disciplined "the little ****" he would be asleep and Dh wouldnt be up all night with a grumpy baby!?? WTF! I actually controlled myself and walked away but im so damn angry right now. Sorry ladies.

Whinge Over!

I Just had to calm down a bit before i go back in to the same room as Dh.

Will pop in tomorrow for a hopefully happier unselfish post.

Night night.

[Megan76]

Jess - what a horrible night! I hope DH gets a good talking too!

Well i have had a horrible start to a weekend alone and Lucas has just woken after 15 min so will elaborate later! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHH!

Hi Everyone,

I have just quickly skimmed over all the posts sorry!

Mel, No not too far away I'm at Mount Cotton so not far from Vic pt at all! This is pretty good the Pixie photos Noah had at 5.5months were about $400 and for those gorgeous photos I think that was well worth it!

We are planning on trying when Noahis 12months too. We said 2 years apart now Phil is saying NO MORE THAN two years apart and he doesn't want them born in the same month so he wants to try at 12months (that is planning on me getting pg immediately again)
