Jan I know, if someone gave me some nice warm milk, put me to bed and said sleep for as long as you want, I don't think I'd get up for a couple of days.
Megan, I know how you feel about the tantrums. I think they suck your life forces out of somewhere around the knees...
Danni, you are doing great to be so positive when there's so much going on for you and poor little Oscar. Hope you both are able to get on top of things real soon.
LOl Em at your ad comparison! I think those shots must have a little dose of cranky juice in there somewhere because I've had a totally crap time with Autie since and she has only just started to come good today - eating and sleeping better TG! Thanks for the recipe, I would have to have left out the pecans anyway until I find out if Autie's allergy is all nuts, so I'm glad you already came up with an alternative. The sultanas would sweeten a bit too I imagine.
Raels, Autie has been in bed with me every night since Dan left on Tuesday - not only could I not cope with the getting up all the time, but I just feel she needs it while she's not feeling herself. I would prefer it not get to be a habit though because it doesn't work well when Dan's home - I think she gets annoyed he's taking up HER side of the bed LOL
Jan, I hear you. Just keep telling yourself it's a phase - that's become my mantra
Well, I'm not really sure where to start with the Bali thing I think it's best if I try to condense it a bit and then you can ask if you want more info someplace. It's easier when people ask questions - I never had to write it out before! I will assume you haven't been there, but if you have, you will get a better picture. I was on holiday with a younger friend and we were staying at a place called TroppoZone (for youngies wanting to party - not entirely my scene but it was Nic's choice and I love to travel so I'll go anywhere) There is a bank opposite the Sari Club and behind that is Troppo - a series of little one up one down cheap bali style rooms set out around two pools and an open air bar area/restaurant/lobby. So the Balinese are lovely and very tolerant of drunken Aussies taking over the streets at night with everyone mostly going bar to bar. The Sari was one of the main ones, as was Paddy's next door to the bank (there is an alley between, where the entrance to TZ is) On the Thurs and Fri, TZ organised a two day tour of the rest of the island which included two big nights and most of us from TZ had gone on that so on Saturday we spent our first night since getting there just hanging out around the pool recovering. Then there was a sound like a firework gone wrong and we all stopped and were like 'that was weird'. Then another and all the lights went out and roof tiles started raining down. Someone ran off to investigate and came back saying it was an explosion and buildings were on fire. I went up to our room to find bits of ceiling all over the floor and the roof half off, and found our shoes in the dark and we all went out. As soon as we stepped out into the alley, we could see how bad it was and there was the expected chaos you would imagine - bleeding, burnt black people (sorry if TMI), screaming, fire but no lights anywhere. So tourists from all around started helping people away from the area and we took many up our alley to get out that way (so proud of the Australian 'get in and get it done' attitude that night) There was very little (none that i saw actually) emergency persons of any kind. Many of the wounded were taken into TZ lobby and that's where I ended up again, helping there. The fire was spreading and TZ caught as well though they managed to get that put out using a hose from the pool after a few hours (guests did that too) By early morning, most of what could be done had been done and they (TZ staff) asked us to gather on the tennis court due to the rooms all having damage. We were sent guards to stand in the alleyway because by then,they knew it wasn't an accident, and that's where we slept. Then we hung out and found rooms that weren't damaged until they flew us out on Monday. During that Sunday, when we walked around outside (before someone finally got organised and made it a crime scene) the Balinese were all apologizing and begging us not to hate them. There was such relief in their faces when we said it wasn't their fault. I think we were definitely looked after from above that night, if we hadn't been buggered from the tour, we would have been at the Sari as we were every other night. So that's the abbreviated story and we were, of course, much luckier than many other people.
Sounds like I've got an unsettled toddy (!) on my hands - just when I thought it was getting better
I think Avaleigh has got gastro!! Yesterday I started getting really bad tummy cramps and then spend the rest of the arvo on the toilet, today I am ok, still cramping but not on the toilet. So I began thinking that Jason must have gotten gastro andnot food poisoning. I tried giving Avaleigh dinner tonight but after a few mouthfuls she threw it back up and it was a huge spew! I let her tummy settle a bit and bout hr later gave her a bit of milk to have that come up in a huge spew too. I've just now tried to breastfeed her but nope, huge spew!!
My poor munchkin has an ear infection AND gastro
Have any of you mums had a bub with gastro? What should I do? She cant keep down anyting!
V- Go to the chemist and buy sum Hydralyte or gastrolyte and give that to Avaleigh its replaces all the things she is losing with the vomiting and diarrhea...... I found when Chloe had gastro when she was lil Plain cooked pasta with a lil bit of salt was great it was the only thing she could keep down...
Hope that helps... Sorry the late response...
Bayleigh is having his first sleep over tonight at a girlfriends house and im missing him like crazy but i know he is fine lol plus Chloe is there also so if he gets to upset thro the night she will give him big cuddles whcih will calm him down
Okay, I'm here cos I'm bored, but I'm feeling a bit lazy, so I'm going to pike a bit on extensive personals, I hope you'll all forgive me, cos it's nothing personal
Sasha - thanks for sharing your Bali Bombing story. It must have been truly horrific & terrifying, but at the same time to have the opportunity and ability to help the injured people must have been an incredible thing to do. I don't mean this to sound weird, but it's definitely something to be proud of, that you contributed.
V - can't believe that Jason gave you & Avaleigh gastro. Typical man! Seriously, hope she's doing better for you now.
Danni - hope young Oscar is on the improve for you, poor little man. Having your PCOS diagnosed is good, but it sucks that you've got it. Good luck for Tuesday, hopefully it will be over & done with, without any problems and with some more results.
Em - thanks for posting your muffin recipe. I'm going to have to cook up a batch for Liam, his only "sweet" at the moment is stewed apple & natural yoghurt, or occasionally dried fruit, so it will be good to offer fussypants an alternative.
Sarah - how did Bayleigh go at his sleepover? Did you get a nice sleep-in yourself? You are much braver than I am, I don't think I could let Liam go away for a night, I'd miss him too much.
Well, I think we have some more teeth arriving in this house sometime soon, as I have a dribble guts wandering around, who can't keep his hands out of his mouth, and who's eczema has really flared again. Thank goodness for Nurofen I say. He's doing pretty well though, because he's not that grizzly all things considered. We took him for his inaugural tricyle ride today, thinking that we'd get around the block & he'd be content - no way jose, he loved it so we had to keep going for nearly an hour. It was so cute, he just sat back in the seat, propped his feet up on the mudguard and sang & talked for the trip. There's a house nearby that keeps a couple of ducks in their frontyard, so we went to visit them and that was super fun, the ducks were fantastically interesting, especially when they quacked.
Well, so much for this, the baby alarm has gone off again.
Yay Megan - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and woo hoo for clever little Lucas!
I'm having my first "break" today - Pat's bathing Liam, who has had a dose of gastro today, so we've been alternating between vomiting, changing clothes and cuddling/sleeping on the couch. Not quite the cleaning day I had planned, but oh well. Fingers crossed that he's over the worst of it & will sleep well tonight.
