Nickers - If we manage to have #3 i don't mind boy or girl. I keep thinking it would be nice for girl so we can use our 'girl name' that we chose before any boys names and i know my mum would so love to busy pink things and dresses but at least we know boys so to speak and have so many boy cloths and toys it would be so much easier, so i'm glad to say i don't mind. 18 1/2 months difference between our two boys. We haven't founf it as difficult as we thought we would although Oscar was in daycare 2 days a week until Will was 6 months old so that made a huge difference in the early days so i could actually catch up with sleep/stuff twice a week. It's been great the last few months now Will abd Oscar are interacting and chasing and laughing with each other lots - it really pulls at the heartstrings to see them. Osc is still very protective with his toys though so when Will stalks him and trys to join in he can get mad which i guess is just normal. Hope you had a great time at the swimming.
Our 7th Heaven - IKWYM about sahm having no outlet. i've also seen both sides as i hated being a sahm so much with my first bub that i went back to work when Oscar was only 4 months old when i didn't have a job/career - just temped, then got a perm/FT job when Oscar was one and worked until 2 weeks before Will was born. I actually love being a sahm now and wouldn't dream of going back to work but somedays when dh gets home i'm just like - here's the kids, i'm going on the computer for 1/2 an hour BY MYSELF!! It really is 24/7 with nothing else! DH is great and does so much for the kids before and after work and at weekends so i can never complain but he goes away a lot so when he tells me about the meals out in restaurants/bars/BBQs with friends back in our old home time i can't help gritting my teeth and saying 'how lovely'!.
Mel - Glad your dad is on the mend. The episode in your Nan's room sounded very scary.
Dee - Your wedding at the winery sounds so lovely, you must be so excited. Sorry to hear you have such a rough time at night with Lachlan, you must be gong mad after 10 months of not sleeping properly. Is he on anything for his reflux? Will was on Losec for quite a while and that really settled the heartburn aspect of it. He also has a dummy which our paediatrician said was a good idea which is great most of the time but still causes issues at night if he wakes and can't find it we have to! Lachlan looks so gorgeous on your ticker btw.
Poor Will is quite sick at the moment. It'd just a cold and bad cough but he's having a really rough time of it as most babies his age do. On Friday night we managed about 1 hours sleep as he literally coughed every other breath so now he has no voice as his throat is red raw. We had a better night last night as we found the vapourizer out and that seemed to work wonders although we still had to have him in our bed to start with as he was so upset. I Managed to transfer him back to his cot at about 2.30am as he was lying horizontally between us and just taking up too much space! I wish i could make him feel better, it's so sad when all he wants so do is cuddle - i've passed him off to DH for 1/2 an hour just so i can do this but feel guilty as i should be with him but just wanted a break. Any tips from anyone on how to make him more comfy? We're using panadol, demazin at night, karvol, euky bear rub and now vapourizer at night, almost constant cuddles.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, back to poorly bub. Hope you are all having a nice weekend.
