Sorry I've been MIA recently but you're all on FB so you know what's going on.
Dani - how is DJ??
Well, after me waiting and waiting for all the pain and angst that comes before that first tooth... Lachlan got his first toothypeg over night on Sunday! He's a bit grumpy today but that a cos he's got a cold and cough as well - I've got it too... Not fun! But I'm just so glad the teething wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. But I guess it's the beginning right??
Lachlan is crawling too now. The house isn't baby proofed. Haven't even thought about it!!
We bought our new car! Yay! Pick it up' this week. So excited. Toyota Kluger 7 seater in Pearl white. So pretty!!
And were moving soon... Not sure when but it's gonna happen before June
Looking forward to meeting tali next month and belle too!
Hi everyone, I"m new here... well, I was a member years ago, and posted a bit while I was pregnant with Emersyn... Anyway I'm Emma, single Mummy to Gabrielle/Gaby (4) & Emersyn my little Junebug, born June 16
Emersyn seems to be taking her time with her crawling & pulling herself up - but I don't really mind, means the house is safe for a little longer LOL...
hey everyone else... not much to report here. P has cut his top two teeth and it looks like another bottom one is about to cut. Commando crawling and holding on to my legs when I put him down now. Standing quite well holding on but occasionally lets go and stays there :O Eating 3 'meals' a day, plus morning and afternoon tea... plus boob still!! He is a little muncher
Had an appointment with a psychiatrist yesterday re the PND and everything... there were two in there and they were both really supportive. They have agreed that I need more than medication. and will talk to my other care givers and work out an action plan and how to approach things because they don't want to overwhelm me. They also said they could see that I was determined to get through it and that I am doing all the right things i.e. getting help, staying safe etc
Welcome Emma hope you enjoy our little nattering bunch. if chch stands for what i think i hope you and you're girls are safe and sound!
untold: i'm glad you're getting help and beating the PND. you are one strong mumma for doing that. it takes guts to admit you need help and about 10X more to get it. im always around if you need a text msger! (and soon im going on a cap so i can call you too, if you need me XD )
AFM: been a little less busy here. DJ has been good thus far. minus a cough that just wont move but then again a side affect of the drug he's on is upper respiority issues. so we see the pead thursday i'll get him to check DJ's chest if he says it clear i might ask about putting him on a cough suppressnant or something. Vic is going really well. he can pull himself to leaning over standing when eather DH or I are laying on our sides. he is also very good at 'worming' his way around the house which is very cute. he is also lovin' his cucumber, carrots, bananas and avo too. ohh and ice cream! he's growing up too fast. he had his 6mth jabs last week (only 2 month late LOL) we see the MCHN on monday next week for DJ and vic too. other then that its just packing up stuff slowly but surely. Ohh and sorting out Mt fold more too. better go i have some pork in the oven which i need to blend up for DJ so he can eat it!
Erica - Well done Lachie on his tooth.. and crawling! We are still waiting for teeth, but Harlee is still constantly biting everything and seems to be showing all the symptoms of teething. Hopefully they arent too far away for us! I've heard that the first teeth are the worst, so maybe he just got lucky?
Belle - Wow! What good balance P has! Amazing!
Dani - Hope the packing is going well!
We have been sooo busy here it's crazy! My sister left for Japan on Sunday morning, so we wont see her till february next year, she was very teary on friday night, coming to the realisation that when she comes back, Harlee will most likely be running around and talking. My other sister still thinks she is going back to London but we are doing everything we can to keep her here. Other than that we've had parties, weddings, engagements,, reunions etc for the past 2 months. My Dad has been getting really busy with his business and has asked me to now work 2 days a week (3 hrs a day as I'm with Harlee the whole time ) So that will be good to get a bit more money too.
My car, well the douche is most likely getting away with it. His boss got lawyers and they want to keep fighting.. which we cannot afford.. so we have to leave it and be stuck with a smashed up car and we are still paying it off for another year. ulgh.
I am hoping Karma will get him, and the company, if not we may need to have a chat to Karma and make Karma get him a bit quicker iykwim
Harlee has been having poo issues, so bad that she cries when she poos because it hurts her so much and shes had blood in her poo. doctors are useless so weve just been doing prune juice every day to keep it soft and less pallet like.
Harlee now claps to music, and bobs her head when music comes on, its very cute. She also waves hello and goodbye when we do it to her (unless we are expecting she does it and then she wont do it!)
She has managed to crawl but it does not last long. she can however move across the room on her belly.. her comando crawling is amazing.
Dh's family are still shocking, but we have decided that they are there so Harlee doesn't think she is the centre of attention all the time (because they ignore her)
Has anybody been doing sign language with their little ones? Apart from Hello and Goodbye, Harlee will do thumbs up for 'good'!!
Anyway enough from me..
Hope everybody is going well
tali have you tired offering harlee a sippy cup with water? or a spouted one? i have one on the floor for DJ all the time and i've found if vic wants a drink he'll grab it and i just need to help him tip it up KWIM.
Bummer Tali - constipation is so awful for tiny little bottoms. I hope you're avoiding giving her banana - it bind DD1 (and me TMI) up like all hell straight away). I must say I use some brown sugar in Bubs porridge (which is just the normal bellamy's porridge not the rice cereal as white rice cereal especially it it has added iron will bind up straight away as well in suseptible bubs) as well as prune juice and that seems to help here. I can barely get DD2 to take 10ml of water or juice even in any form, especially now that she's going through bottle refusal which has been hell but that'sa totally different subject - so I think you're doing awesome if you can get her to have prune juice.
Erica - Yay a tooth! Hopefully the rest of his teething will be fairly pain free, DD1's was similar, just a bit grumpy, but this DD was same for her bottom two but had a lot of trouble with the top two, 38degree random temp for 5 days plus sleeplessness, tenderness, pain, nappy rash - the work, I couldn't believe it, so just take it as it comes and make sure you've always got dymadon on hand.
Hi Emma! You've got your hands full with two little girls! Tell me, how do you find the age gap? As am thinking of a similar one for #3? I hope you and your family and friends are ok too, the news has been fairly graphic here so we are all aware of how awful it is over there ATM and thinking of NZers.
Dan - Fenugreek and horseradish are good for upper resp tract infections. Not sure about horseradish, but am sure you can get tea you can sweeten for poor DJ if Docs can't help with meds.
Belle - that's awesome you've got some supportive Docs there that are actually invested in you - that's really great. L is a commando crawler as well - I can't figure out why you'd crawl that way - have you ever tried it - it's so hard! I'm wondering if it's because our floors are hard and she doesn't want to get up on her knees as I tried crawling crawling too and ouch! (I'm not as much of a nutcase as I sound, I was trying to 'demonstrate' lol)
