Babies Born June 2006 #11

[#karen#]

Forgot to add - Neeny - i used to work in childcare and when putting such a young bub on tummy, would remain with baby and talk to them encouraging them to lift head etc. At least they are now aware you had concerns with it. It can be hard on worker as well allocating time to all babies, depending on ratios. What are the ratios there? We used to have 1 adult to 5 babies which in my opinion is ridiculous in a daycare setting.

yay, Jaspen! There is hope for the rest of us, perhaps... Actually, there is, cos last night I went to get chicken, came home after an afternoon out and told DP that I was physically exhausted...he cooked! And it was a brilliant meal, much better than anything I could have done with that chicken. It's always the way, though. I'll cook, but DP is a much better cook, so we eat better when he does it!
Oscar is still asleep...
Was going to see my horse again cos it's heading to 25 degrees...however it's not a necessity cos he has light rugs on, so I think I'll avoid being blown from Lysterfield to Sorrento with this blowy northerly and find another pastime...Glad I took the dog for a walk yesterday after I fed my horse cos today is not going to happen for him. At least I can rest from yesterday's efforts.
I might heed the SES's warnings and move the outdoor furniture to safe positions and bring in my washing before nappies end up wrapped around the neighbours' goat...
Daycare - I just couldn't relax if Oscar was in care! I took him to my CFA course for gas suits on Wednesday night and my GF (fellow firefighter) took him around the host fire station, cos DP was also donning suits...you think I could stop looking at the door? Well, she did come back and I could hear him crying...hunger cries...I couldn't get out of that gas suit quick enough - whilst maintaining decontamination protocol, I think I'll pass the assessment next week! Anyway, DP reckons it won't work to bring him next week, but that's cos he's not creative enough to think of solutions to fit Oscar into these things Anything I can't take Oscar to at this stage I figure I just shouldn't be doing. At least with the horse riding I can take him to the property and if it comes to it, get one of the mummies to hold him while I have a quick ride. I can also bring the pram and walk him to sleep before doing a pram transfer and just stop riding when he wakes up. It's been done by many a mummy rider before, so I'll find a way.
I suppose if I had not been feeling so wrecked yesterday I could have thought about meeting up with Rory and Bathsheba...but it's only just occurred to me that I could have done that! Oh, well, next time.
Might check on that monkey now...

Hey girls,
This probably won't be very long as i'm trying to type with a broken hand and it's quite hard not tomention looking after Tee with it. It hurts real bad
Amanda3 it's great to be able to sneek in a sleep every now and then even though i only have one at the moment let alone 4. I totally agree with your prospective of if it gets done thats fine and if it doesn't oh well.
IK the feeling of having to sit back and watch my little girl suffer is so hard!!! Sometimes i just can't bear it and cry with her. Just curious what was the ses thing for as my mum lives down that way??
Happy 3 months Oscar for last Tuesday!!!
It does get very tiring you are just lucky your partner will cook for you mine will only cook once in a blue moon!
Neeny i would've cried having your little girl in daycare for even just half the day. That is so wrong what they did th Aleise, leaving her on her tummy when she was obviously distressed
Karen i do have a best and less near me. I haven't been down there yet but most stores stock swim wear for bigger kids, Tee is still in a 00000 to a 0000.
Bathsheba well done on being able to finally clean up all the stuff of the table that must have been a huge achievment. I agree with you, your "Mate" doesn't sound like one i would want around...TMO.

Well it turned out to be a pretty long post but my hand is killing me now!!! Tee is being a real sook today...has been for the last couple of days what is the go with her it is driving me insane i can't even put her on the floor she has to be held ...which is hard when there is stuff to be done and a broken hand to try and take care of too.
Bak Later
