Yay Kim!! Riley slept 2 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon at FDC on Tuesday. So 4 hours out of 7 he was asleep LOL
Is anyone else's bub going through a mega clingy phase? Riley is crying every day when i leave him at FDC even though he's fine 2 minutes after I go, even at home he follows me around and wants me all the time. when we go into school he has to stay in my arms where he used to just get passed around by everyone in the staffroom.
Thank goodness its the weekend, i am sick of getting everyone ready and out the door in the morning, even my days off I still have to drive Erin to school.
BBL whinger wanting attention
Christine ~ yep Ryan is totally the same it breaks my heary to leave him at CC like that though but i try to put on my best " i love you and would never leave you for long face" and get through the day though when i pick him up he never wants to leave some days i just can't work him out
That's what Riley does, when i pick him up he's fine- MEN!! Riley is eating like a horse ATM, he sometimes eats more than Erin! I dread to think how much it will cost to feed him when he's older LOL
Its soooo cold here still, we have our athletics carnival next Wednesday so I hope it warms up a bit before then its not fun spending 4 hours in the cold and wind. Jodie- hope the house selling goes well, I would die having to keep the house that neat for that long!! I will have a look on the internet, I love looking at other people's houses just wish I could afford to buy one. Sara I hope this bub gets its act together and comes out soon, you are certainly having a tough time. I think its good that you have Briley in CC to give yourself a break, its also good for her to socialise with other kids. LeanneI bet you're glad its Friday! Hope you and Katy are feeling well and have a really relaxing weekend. Nat can't believe its 2nd semester already! Erin's class are getting an intern for 9 weeks this term, he's in his final year of uni. Any assignments you need help with just let me know. Sherie glad you had a good time away.

Just a quick post, cause I am cold and want to get to my warm bed before Lachlan wakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christine, lachlan is super clingy to me when I drop him off for Daycare, I have learnt that I mustn't say goodbye now I just dissapear (which is really hard, as I want to give a kiss and cuddle goodbye). If he sees me, he runs after me crying. He does settle and has a good day in the end.
Will have to fill out your questions tomorrow ladies, I am too tired now.
Our week - well..................
Lachlan had yet another high temp. Higher then last time when he had the convulsion (last time was 39.1). This time it read at 39.4 with an ear thermometre and they say that they read lower then the under the arm thermometres.
Luckily enuf he didn't have a convulsion this time, but I was concerned cause when he had his last high temp the doctor at the hospital told me that temps over 39 degrees it is not normally teef and something else contributing to the temp.
So we didn't have a car seat, my sister went to an appt and 4got she had the car seat in the car. So we called the ambulance for transport. An hour later they decided to rock up!!! What tha.... No wonder we don't live in Brissy. And so so glad he didn't have another convulsion.
Anyway turns out he has an ear infection. A viral one and they don't give antibiotics for viral infections. So that night I was up with him, every half an hour he woke! Had to put him in bed with me in the end as it was so so cold. He wouldn't lay down so had to nurse him in my arms. I am not sure I got any sleep. So for 1.5 weeks now he has been waking 3-4 times a night and I am exhausted.
We got home last night, and Wade did the night time wake ups for me as I really needed a break!
Do you all think that it could still be the ear infection if it was a week ago now that they diagnosed it????
I am wondering if I should take him back to the doctor????
Anyway the gift fair was good, but didn't get to spend as much time there that I had intended cause I got a bladder infection and was off to the doctor on the Saturday and Lachlan got the temp on the Friday and we had such a terrible night, he was all out of sorts on the Saturday. So had to cram it all into 2 days, not 3, but I guess that is better then nothing, but it was real rushed.
No conception this month, I left for Brissy on cd11 and returned on cd18, and it is highly unlikely I ovulated that early. So off to another month for us, I am guessing.
Night for now, me still has to catch up on some much needed sleep!
evening all

Alright I'm off to bed now. Work tomorrow and my folks are coming early to pick Emerson up so they can take him to the airport to see planes and go to Ikea hehe! Will talk later.
Not much to report here. Still in one peice. Things have quietened down heaps. Maybe the calm before the storm!?!?!?! I predicted today but am not showing ANY signs.
Briley is good. Had a terrible day on thursday though. She was soooooo naughty. She was smacking me, pulling my hair, throwing things at me and tipping water on me out of my sippy cup. And ofcourse i was having a terrible day and all i could do was cry about it. No-one was here to help me either. Thats why i ended up going out to mums for the night.
Not much else to report. Hope you are all well!
What's you bubba's favourite snack?
Cheese, Apples and Banana's

The Rouge Traders one that plays on the Neighbours ad. She sings along to the Na-na-na-na-na bit!! So cute!!

We have Austar so she watches whatever is on the Disney Channel or Nick Jnr.
What's bubba's newist word?
Beads
What's bubba drinking?
Water, Formula, Juice and sometimes Cordial.
What's you bubba's favourite snack? Sultanas. She can't get enough. Even knows where they are kept in the cupboard and if we don't watch it she's in there.
What's your bubba's favourite song? No real favourites. Any music she hears she bops away to, but will head bang to U2's the saints are coming if I have it playing the car.
What's in your DVD player that gets played over and over? Nothing really in our DVD player, but will stop everything for home and away. She loves 'Jack" - can you blame her? :O)
What's bubba's newist word? Hello. Sticks her tongue out for the H sound. And then says it over and over. Too cute.
What's bubba drinking? Water, formula, milk and loves a warm milo when she comes home from school.
We're doing okay. I am so glad it is the weekend, but Katy's really giving it to us today. Wants to be picked up all the time and if she can't have what she wants throws herself on the floor and cries. Could CC have something to do with this, or just the age. I swear she must be two.
Sickness wise though we seem to be okay. Katy's ear inf. seems to have cleared up and so far there is no sign of something new. (fingers crossed) I just have a run of the mill flu that came yesterday arvo, with a bit of a heavy chest, headaches, sore throat runny nose.
Hope all is well with everyone.
Hang in there Sara......

I haven't been real well myself today. I spent about 3hours last night on the loo (sorry tmi). I had terrible gstro and my jobs took me aaaaages. I woke up this morning and felt fine though so went to pilates and fainted half way through - how embarrassing . I've been feeling crappy all day...the ILs always pick the days I'm really sick to stay way longer than they're welcome
My thermometer was broken when I went to use it this morning and I wasn't able to get a therm today and it's driving me crazy not knowing what my temp is....
Gosh Kim that sounds horrible, hope you get better soon and you get a new thermometer too! Can you POAS before AF is due or do you have to wait? I looked at yur chart but its all double dutch to me LOL Is day 1 the first day of AF? (sorry for all the questons you can tell me to shut up if you like!)
yep that's right Chirsitne. I've been having 10day cycles though (or bleeding every 10 or so days, not really AF) so I have no idea when it is actually due......fingers crossed none for a while now, but getting AFy cramps so at least if I have a REAL AF I'll have a starting point and be happy IYKWIM?
