Bath - meant to write last night that I use the Aldi DI-San instead of Napisan...half the price almost and works really well.
Oscar is playing awake boy today, but that's ok cos I feel less heady than I did yesterday, but I'm more tired cos he woke so much last night - kept doing runny, mucousy, greeny poos - normally doesn't do them at night and I couldn't deal with potential blow outs (of which half of them would have been otherwise) so I used disposables. The night before he actually slept from 12.30 to 5.30am and I wasn't inflated by the time he woke...how's that? I don't expect that in the near future again, but I'm ok with that as long as I'm not up at every feed - I'm spoiled and used to just rolling him on, rolling him off and both of us going back to sleep again!
Great day here in Melbourne again. I think I'll take it easy on myself again, though, and just do a load of nappies and go nowhere.
My mum's coming back from NZ today - I hear she behaved herself...will wonders never cease???
ETA: I agree, Bath, with the disease manifestation theory, too! If not something more corporeal like cancer etc then as psychological disease like schizophrenia. That energy has to go somewhere and if it's stifled then your body does something with it that you can't see till you start to feel unwell in some way. My dad has psoarisis and depression - there's no family history of it, but oddly enough, his mother died when he was 4 and he knew that he was being told porky pies about it and no-one spoke of it with him...ever. He's had to put together the pieces from what his older sister could gather. He thought it didn't affect him but now he knows better. Those repressed Irish Catholics, they're a classic example!

Morning all, another quite start to the day I see. Well Cody had a funny night last night he woke up for his 2:30 feed and he fed until 3, nothing unusual but he wanted a top up at about 3:30 so I had a pretty crappy nights sleep. But he's also been fussy when I give him my left boob as well.
The weather here today is overcast, so I've got the boys watching DVDs which seems to be keeping them occupied for now.
Ali congrats on having your 1yr anniversary, can't wait to see the pics.
Speaking of pics I will be sending an email from my meeting with Neeny last Friday, I've finally downloaded them.
I just typed this long post and it disappeared! ARGHHH!
I'll try again so here goes -
Was Matt's 35th birthday yesterday and we made a weekend of it all. Saturday night we wen't to mum's for dinner and then to see "Stormbreaker" which was pretty good. Surprisingly enough it was rated M even though it was'nt that violent and is aimed at the tweens market. Sunday we drove to Sunshine Coast to have lunch with Matt's family at Maroochydore and see our new neice, Naomi Grace.
SIL seemed well but her labour was only 2hrs long. They had her in since Tuesday night and should've induced her every 12 hours but because they were so busy they did it in 24 hour stints! Thursday morning they broke her membranes and it didn't do anything then Thurs night they gave her the oxytocin drip. She went into labour at 1am Friday and had Naomi at 3am. She's pretty tiny and the smallest baby out of the 4. 7 pounds 3. I can't believe Aleise was smaller than that - seems so long ago! The hospital kept telling SIL to delay coming in though 'cause they were so full. She can afford private health insurance and that bit makes me a bit agro - people who can't afford it end up on a waiting list because there's too many like her out there who won't pay it. We've just upgraded to family cover and we're only getting by! Oh well there's just no getting through to some people - you never know what's around the corner and its always best to have the doctor of your choice in that circumstance. Just look at some of the mishaps in Qld system for example!
Yesterday I made Matt some pancakes (not gluten free so he was very spoiled and I had rice bubbles!) baked all afternoon, made a g/f carrot cake for me, port&saltana cake for Matt and a g/f pizza for dinner. Most delish and sounds like I'm taking a leaf out of Bathsheba's culinary cookbook doesn't it? Matt did a tour of the XXXX brewery with friends and I picked him up from the train station at 7pm - just a wee bit tipsy too!
Rory: Future SIL had numb feelings on RHS of her face. She's a bit weird though so I don't rule out her exaggerating or even lying about it all. Don't ask!
Ali: Happy 1st anniversary!
KL: YOu should report what happened with that knife bearing psycho - do you want him to succeed with another young mum?? Also the stuff that happened to you earlier should be reported too. I work for Qld Police and sadly too many sex offenders get away with it and keep re-offending because the victims are too scared or don't want to re-live it by reporting it. Ask yourself this - how would you feel if Tee was assaulted and that person/s was free to re-offend! You should take better care of yourself honey and we're all concerned for you!
IK: Yeah I agree Aldi nappies are great. I bought the crawler size for Aleise 'cause the small ones were getting a bit tight, although the crawler ones are a bit big - can never win!
Candy: Love that ring! So when's the big day?
Well I'll try to email some birthday pics when I can uplaod them to my email. Aleise looked very cute in her new denim dress and knickers I bought from Target for only $15! They had a 20% off sale. She's been sleeping quite well and a bit more often during the day over the last 2 days. However she woke at 5am this morning which is not like her and Matt kindly did that shift. I told him I"d do it tomorrow 'cause he has the day off.
Not much else to report - overcast here today so can't do too much outdoors. Might go to the library. Should go to gym either tonight or tomorrow night depending on if I can get a babysitter tonight. Take care all *Hugs*.
Just emailed some pics to all on the BB list. If you're not on it (or didn't get it - check your junk mail) then let me know.
OH yeah
Dee78 I can't send you anything - they keep coming back as "status undelivered" so if you have a new email can you send it to me? neeny1870@hotmail.com
Got my MooGoo! Bath, I think it might be because I paid by direct deposit (I usually do credit card, but I thought it might be too much for my poor constitution to see another amount on the statement, even though I'd be spending the money anyway! DP writes the payment cheque, so it's more for his sake, but if he gets antsy, I feel guilty!) and it would have taken a bit longer to dispatch for that reason. This stuff smells yummy! I wonder if DP will use the wash? He loves bars, so I bought him one, knowing he doesn't use washes (so old-fashioned for a 32 year old!). I got a sample goats milk soap, but no moisturiser - it must depend on what you've ordered. I think I might not have also got it yesterday cos I reckon the fill in postie couldn't be bothered delivering two packages to my house yesterday. A Post contractor brought the MooGoo today and yesterday the sling was in the letterbox - same size bag, so go figure. I wonder how long it will take for the postie to bother bringing my lambskin? Also, the sling was in an express post bag, so perhaps he figured that it was a priority and that I could bloody well wait for the other package...I want my regular postie back! At least when I'm outside with Oscar he'll stop and say hello and tell off Odin for barking at him. Neeny - Yeah, I thought the crawlers were a bit big until we had our first major poo in them and... it was all held in! So, I think I just got used to the 'snug' fit and though I no longer think it's too loose, it's just not at tightly fitted but has very good holding capacity!
Well, after the discussion last week about highchairs...I've come into one. Actually, I was about to come into another one from a family friend (it's still at my parents') but my dad was offered one, along with a Babylove stroller, so he brought them round on the weekend. I looked them both over and thought they could do with a clean up when I realised that the harnesses on both had faults that rendered them useless. No problem! I put the bits from the highchair harness that made the stroller one incomplete and now it will be ready to go when I've washed the washable bits (there are some tears, too, but it's functional). The highchair harness is now further unusable...but that's ok! I emailed the manufacturer and they'll send me a new harness and it will cost me the princely sum of $16 incl postage - would have cost me that much to get the webbing, clips and the petrol used for that mission. It's a 'better' highchair than the family friend one, although I think they are the same brand (Mothers Choice). This one has that swivel back seat, adjustable tray etc, and the other one is simpler. I think maybe we could leave the simpler one at my mums, bring back the cheapie one she has at her place and give that to MIL for when she eventually minds Oscar. Anyway, I'm in the process of cleaning it up and it's coming up a treat. And it's very nearly free! If my GF doesn't want the stroller then I'll keep it for shopping centre forays, cos it's more compact than my buggy, which is designed more for outdoor use. Don't you love getting free stuff that's in perfect working order? Well, nearly! Geez, I'm easily pleased.
I can't wait to wash my hair tonight...this MooGoo smells awesome. Cee Cee, you deserve a finder's fee!
