Nic - it's been weird for you since Nixon's first birthday, and it's about time things started to turn upwards again That's what I love about our little group here, sometimes we'll be the one in need, and other times we'll be the needed. Anyway, it's fantastic that we're able to share this good news, as well as partaking in the journey to get to this point!
Oscar is very much not himself today. He is very warm and has either been asleep or in the sling all morning. Not like him at all. So, I'm taking him to the doctor in about an hour. I'm not used to him being so quiet and still! I reckon I could take the opportunity to sit him down and read him some books...he never lets me normally, and why not make the most of whatever's wrong with him??? LOL!
I DID, however, get to watch Under The Tuscan Sun, which MIL recorded the other night and lent to me before she left for her road trip.
Ok, better go and do some things now that I've been Oscar is out of the sling...
Maya - I love that movie!! i have seen it at least 4 times! I hope Oscar is ok. Lachlan was doing the same thing yesterday. He woke up after his morning nap and all he wanted to do was sit on my lap and put his head down on my shoulder. Very unlike him, he is usually on the go! I figured he just wasnt feeling well, and with all the sickness he has had the past couple of weeks i just put it down to that.
Great about the aromatherapy. I used to be right into it, i worked in a store that sold all the oils and i have a heap of books too, i must dig them out!
Nickers - Great news about the house. Dont feel bad about coming on here and venting your problems, Geez, look at me!! Anyway, you were the one that kept track of all the kids birthdays too remember! Your are very valued. We wouldnt be the same without you. i promise next time i come up i will be calling in for a cuppa!! (ill be germ free too!!)
Ali - Great that you are all settled, as Maya said, its a nice change from last pregnancy! the last two days have been horrible, sickness wise, i feel like i need to vomit. It usually goes away by midday (after i eat lunch) but comes back after dinner and im really really tired too!!
Well, no news here, Lachlan is trying really hard to stand up by himself but he just cant get there, he ends up crawling to the nearest piece of furniture or person and pulls himself up on that.
Gotta go, i went up the shops and bought a mars bar before (im allowed, im pregnant!!) and i won a free one. I think im gonna have to go back to the shops to collect. The whole mars bar thing started when i saw someone eating one on the TV and now its all i want to eat!!!
Bath I don't take it as patronising at all - in fact I have been doing a heck of a lot of thinking lately about how life will be with more than one. I know I am incredibly lucky to have such a supportive DH but I really think there is no way for me to prepare for it rather than to think about all the possibilities and then realise that feelings of immense joy, incredible frustration and overwheming despair will all be perfectly normal reactions!! I am reading a book that says so many images we have of mothering are the "one-mother-one-child" kind whereas that is a totally inappropriate standard to apply to yourself when you have more than one. Similarly, I have come to realise that loving this baby will not be like falling in love with Flynn all over again - this is a different experience all together. I will still have to handle Flynnie and won't be able to totally devote myself to the newborn. Now I know in the early weeks I will be able to do this to a large extent because DH will hopefully be around most of the time, if not full time, so I can establish breastfeeding and whatnot. Still, I am looking forward to it because we really want three children and this is just the beginning
Nickers that is fantastic news on the house!! Now I am sending you "sell your house" vibes
Ali we are not finding out the gender, just like we didn't with Flynn. I love the name Liam - we haven't actually settled on a boys name yet, though we have picked Rose for a girl (once again no middle name, like Flynnie)
Quick howdy to both Dees and Mel - Flynnie is whinning for an arvo wind-down and nap. Maybe THEN I will be able to go watch Dr Ross - mmmmm (I have the first season of ER on DVD - George Clooney is such a honey)
Hi Ladies.
Wow Maya i think your post last night is giving my 'biggies' a run for their money! Nic - so glad you got the house - that's great news
Hi to everyone else. I've just come on to be selfish and have a rant - i am so peed off with our bank right now i am seething. They closed our mortgage account and reopened another without telling us that what they do once construction started, have added loads of extra chrages and have lost the progress payment requests that i physically walked into the bank a week last monday so we are getting overdue notices from the builders as they haven't had their money. When i realised what they had done a re-rang and told them to look for the progress payment requests under the old mortgage number they still couldn't find them and that as they had the old account # on them they couldn't use them anyway - but how was i supoosed to know that there was going to be a new account number if they didn't tell me they would shut it and re-open in the first place - grrrrrrrrr. S i rang the builders to tell them the bank were muppets and got through to lady in securities who sounded like she had one brain cell so i thought here we go. credit to her though as she emailed me new forms within 2 minutes so i am going to have to drive out to DHs work this arvo when kids wake up - get his signature then walk them into the bank again today so they can pay the builders - who say if they haven't go the cash by next wed then they will be charging interest.grrr grrrgrrrrrr
sorry for that folks - rant over but i am just so mad - i probably should be in the punching room but don't want to moan to all.
Will bb soon to read through previous posts properly and do personals - hope you all have good rest of Fridays and weekend Julie x
Maya - congrats on passing your semester, you should be very proud of yourself! Hopefully this semeter (which does start Monday) will be a bit easier for you. A credit is nothing to be sniffed at! Healesville is not that far from me and I love heading up there, esp to the Healesville Hotel, the food is awesome. Fantastic news about DP getting some full time work. Sounds like the "grand plan" is starting to take shape and I'm sure with your determination, things will fall into the right place. How did you go at Drs, is Oscar OK?
Ali - good to hear you have settled into your new house, its so much fun making plans to do things around the house. Names you have picked are really nice and both go nicely with Tori. Work is going really well, I love being back. The mornings are hectic getting out the door but once I get there its all good. I enjoy having the day to myself and no kids, quite refreshing talking adult stuff all day!
Nic - WOOO HOOOO for you!!! Thats such fantastic news. It must be such a big weight off your shoulders now. Bet you can't wait to get out of MIL place, start counting down the days!!! Nice to have someone you know if your Melb place, at least you know they will look after it for you. Glad we could offer the support to you, we all need somewhere to go when times are tough, thankfully we have BB! Never feel guilty about venting in here, we are all hear to listen and help when we can.
Donna - Free Mars bar! I don't think I have heard of anyone winning one, well done! Funny if you won another free one from you free one lol!!!
Rory - I found life with 2 kids a bit scary at first and it was hard at the start (I had DH home for 6 weeks after Marley was born) but it doesn't take long to get into a routine and now things are so good now, I wonder what I was worrying about! I love watching my 2 girls playing and laughing together. You will still be able to find time to devote to Flynn, you just end up finding time. One of the traits of a 'supermum" LOL!! I am so envious of you, watching Dr Ross, he is such a big spunk!!!!
Julie - you have every right to be p!ssed off! Banks can be such a nightmare, esp with home loans. Thankfully you were able to find someone to help you but you are still inconvenienced by having to run around today. Hope it all works out.
Dee - how is Nathan?
Nothing much exciting happening here today. Needed to do grocery shopping but thought I would wait until Marley had her morning sleep, she normally wakes at 12ish but today she decided to wake at 1pm! After I gave her lunch, we were ready to go and then it decided to bucket down outside. We had to wait until 1.30 and even then it was still raining but not so heavy! I went to get my usual supply of chocolate and picked the Fruit & Nut one. While walking up the other aisles I thought to check if it had cashews in it - and it did. Never even thought about it before, so had to take it back and choose another one - Crunchie one!! I have to remember to be more careful. Marley is going really well with the dairy introduction. So far she has had 4mls of milk in her bottles and no reaction and today she had a teaspoon of yoghurt with no problems.
Good afternoon girls Just got back from Melbourne Central where we did the Clock/Borders/nori handroll/coffee with DH routine... Verity stayed in with DH and is spending the afternoon in at his work with him. Niall has drifted off to sleep in his cot and Wade is watching ABC kids. Picked up a Thai Curry from The Dish (cafe near the train station) for dinner and just about to make a hot chocolate because Wade and I got caught in the rain on the way home... Niall snug as a bug in the pram with the rain cover on. Just a few personals... house is trashed and need to deal with it before Niall wakes as a priority!
Nic: yep, what the others said! Just your turn to whinge matey... we all have a go... that's the deal I would have been totally lost with all the June bubbas birthdays too... you did a great job there! Oh and that reminds me; Jaspen sent me a PM saying that she's having a really hard time getting on here to chat and wants to say "hi" to everyone, she misses you all, and hopes to get on here soon!
Mel: I'm glad you posted in the cradle cap thread about the MooGoo.... i was gonna PM you about it asking for you to recommend it because it really is the best. I ordered another batch of stuff from them yesterday too as the soaps etc are available ATM, but who knows for how long!? Ordered 4 bars of soap, some shampoo and a conditioner which i haven't tried before. Love getting packages... i wish i could afford to do it more often hey! Good to hear Marley's allergies are not flaring up. I had heaps as a kid, mainly fur, clover and dust... grew out of them completely by the time I was in my teens. Actually, I lie, I do get a bit of hayfever with dust still, but no where near as bad as I was as a kid... infact now that I think about it the sympotoms are really easing ATM... i think pregnancy made it worse.
Julie: Oh I know about the grief banks can give... and my DH works for one! yes, some staff honestly do act like they function on one brain cell.... especially call centre staff... we try to avoid them at all costs! DH has to deal with them occassionally and gets very p*ssed off with their inability to think outside the box and more frequently it's getting hard to understand them! Not meaning to be rascist but surely if your job is to be on the phone to English speakers all day it's best not to have a strong accent? I'm sure they are hard workers and all but maybe a job entering data etc would be more appropriate? The only way we got half the things done properly for our loans etc was because DH got colleagues to do it! Lord knows how the average punter navigates the minefield of banking procedures. DH is a private banker though and prides himself in 'sheilding' his high-net-worth customers from dealing with all that... pity the bank can't offer everyone that degree of service.... but I guess it's in every industry... user pays and all... I guess it's like having your own private OB as opposed to going public and taking your chances... I'm just grateful my DH is a banker because I'd be totally stuffed having to deal with all that by myself! I think I lead a very sheltered life in that respect LOL
Ali: Dubai: could be a goer... jobs haven't been advertised yet... also heard a similar announcement of new jobs is going to be on offer in Hong Kong. I think about being an expat family every day. It's definately got more "pros" than "cons" on my mental list. And i wouldn't have to be separated much from you guys, not at all here on BB... only for a couple of years IRL regards meetups. It's the tax benefits that are the real drawcard. Imagine not having to pay any income tax! And then there is the career benefits of DH being able to return to Melbourne as a senior manager as opposed to a middle manager... but that's by-the-by it's would just be so damn exciting! I tell ya, being a SAHM in some exotic country would certainly make life a little more interesting!
Peckish... we don't have Nutella... but I have been known to scoop peanut butter on a spoon, super crunchy of course...
Nic.... you have offered me many supportive posts and have cheered me many times so don't go thinking you haven't. I'm so happy for you, So glad that things have turned around and are going so well now, bet you'll be glad to get into your own space.Julie... PMSL re the bank are muppets, lol. So funny. It's terrible that you're having so much trouble with your bank. We got so lucky when we built our first house. Maya.... Yay for getting a start on next semester's work, thanks to you and Bath about the oils, I had only just opened two mandarins when I read the post, lol. Love Mandy's love their smell too.Well we've had a shocking few days, with my three littlies being sick, No vomitting since early this morning but the runny poos are still on. But my washing has decreased now, thank Goodness. Allanah seems well now but Melissa and velcro baby/ Nathan are still sick, my poor babies. My SIL came over after work today (Teacher) so I could go and pay a couple of bills and pick up my new glasses, bout time I picked them up, but it was so good walking out of there being able to see. Anyway, I came home to a super clean house as my SIL directed the kids into cleaning mode and she did my dishes and tidied the kitchen. YAY!! So lovely since I have done nothing except loads of washing for the past few days.
Grrrrrrrrr.......It's taken me two hours to type and cut and paste this with all the interuptions so I'm giving up and going to bed, do more personals tomorrow.
Night Ladies
Dee
Dee - glad things are abating out your way! It's about time for you. Also, meant to say thanks for the solidarity about parental personality instability! It's not nice to realise that others are in the same boat, but it's nice to know you're understood. Crazy mums and depressed dads - what's the world coming to?
Oscar is ok, but will probably have another unsettled night. He slept most of today and MIL was worried about us, so called from Stawell to see how we were doing. DP hadn't got home from Friday night drinks at his brother's by then, so I was upset about that, but her call made me feel better. One more night of paracetamol and hopefully this fever breaks. I want my kid back! The one who would be in bed by now. I tried going to bed at a quarter to ten, but over an hour later he was still wriggly, so I let him play out in the loungeroom while I ate toast with jam and cheese...seems to have worked, his eyes are closed in the sling. His father is dead to the world, snoring away in bed. Lucky this little mite sleeps on my side these days!
My eyes are hanging out of my head now. Best be off!
Maya - How did you go through the night? i hope little Oscar is feeling better!
Julie - i completely understand your frustration with the bank, i am having problems with my bank re: home loans too and its so annoying. you get transfered from one person to another and another and finally when i get to the right one, lachlan wakes up and its impossible for me to talk.
Dee- yay for your SIL, isnt it great to have a bit of help sometimes and i bet it was a releif to get out on your own for a little while too. i hope the kids get better soon. I know how horrible it is with Lachlan sick i couldnt imagine having more than one child sick at the same time!! Oh i'd better start thinking about it i guess!
Mel - Great news about the milk, i hope it gets easier for you, hopefully she takes the transition to dairy without any problems. Bummer about the chocolate, crunchie is pretty good though??
rory - I havent even thought about what its going to be like with two children. Its good that you have that supportive husband. DH had better pick his act up by then let me tell you. I cant imagine loving another child as much as i love lachlan. its weird. I am the same as you. I would love three kids too.
Not much happening with me today. DH and i went and did the groceries this morning and it was so much easier with him there. Lachlan was pretty well behaved too considering he hasnt had a morning sleep. I kind of wish he played up so DH could see what its really like to take a one year old grocery shopping but he didnt so now DH thinks it was really easy! He is out this afternoon so me and lachlan are having a quiet afternoon at home. He went down for a sleep at 1 and im hopeing that because he didnt have a sleep this morning he might have and extra long one this afternoon (yeh right!)i guess i will just put him to bed early if he doesnt!
Maya- i hope Oscar starts feeling better tomorrow after a good nights sleep tonight.
Julie- dont get me started on banks and their antics lol. appologies for anyone if they work in one but i went through heaps when i changed my surname and we first opened a joint account it was almost not even worth all the rigmarole (sp)
my mum got me to fill in an online competition on 2GB (radio station)website last week. U could win a night at a lovely hotel in katoomba and it was for xmas in July, they have santa, presents etc. I received a letter yesterday in the mail telling me i had won a signing santa but unfortunatley i never rung when they called my name out...... BUGGER!! i dont listent to that station but mum and dad do some time, so i missed out on a nice all expenses paid w/e away!
My DH also needs to pick up his act when this bub comes along. Ive told him he needs to be getting up to Nixon if he wakes during the night as i will be up to bub every 3-4hrs and its not fair on me. He says he doesnt hear Nix (partly true because he is partially deaf in one ear) but its also he tunes out not to hear anything.
Also better start doing stuff when we are back in our own house again. he has done NOTHING as MIL since we have been here, barely takens the rubbish out so i will be expecting him to get back to doing things like before once we are in the new place.
we checked out this lovely park a close stroll to our new destination. I plan on taking Nixon there regularly and getting a little bit of excersice walking again.
Bath - looks like MooGoo might get a few more orders for Infant Scalp Cream lol!! We should start charging commission. It is fantastic stuff and I'm sure the girls who order will be extremely happy with it. Hayfever must be horrible, I have never had it but I have seen some friends with it and they feel absolutely horrid when it hits. Glad to hear its not too bad for you. Luckily Marley came up negative when tested for dust mites, pollen and mould (yuk!).
Dee - what a lovely SIL you have. How nice coming home to a clean house. How are the new specs? I wear glasses and I hate getting a new pair, they feel so weird when you first put them on. Glad to hear the kids are on the mend and your washing has eased.
Maya - how is Oscar today? Hope the little man is feeling better and you get a good nights sleep tonight.
Donna - we tried a teaspoon of yoghurt today and no problems. I think she really liked it, but I am careful not to give her too much yet. Crunchie chocolate more than made up for not having the Fruit & Nut (any chocolate would lol!). Why do they behave themselves when Dad is around!!! They like making liars out of us. Hope Lachlan had a good afternoon sleep and you had a bit of a rest.
Nic - ohhhh bugger about the competition! A weekend away would have been lovely for you and DH. Oh well, you just have to keep entering them. My DH never heard the girls either, he sleep so soundly I used to have to nudge him (or whack him!) to get him to get up. Its not a sound they have to listen to so just tune out, mothers always hear it. Its good you are having the conversation with him now so he understands what you need. I was lucky with DH doing shift work, he would come home in the early hours of the morning and do that feed for me. Every little bit helps. Its so nice to have a park nearby, I'm sure Nixon will love playing there. Are you still on cloud 9 about your new place?
Had a friend come over for dinner tonight and he helped with a painting I have done for my Dads 60th (which was a few weeks ago!). It turned out brilliant. I will post some photos of it tomorrow. My friend and I are thinking of doing up some more and selling them. You guys will have to let me know what you think of them.
Marley still seems to be doing well with the dairy. Gave her a teaspoon of yoghurt with her lunch today and she loved it and no red marks. We are up to 20mls of cows milk and no reaction. Slow and steady! She took another 2 steps yesterday but still prefers to crawl around to get somewhere quickly. She sleeps in a Grobag and today after her afternoon sleep, I heard her playing in her cot. I snuck in to see what she was doing and she was out of the bag!!! Sneaky little thing had undone the zip, which is tricky to do and runs from the bottom up , and was completely out of it. She was having a great time playing with the zip. Thought they were supposed to be designed so they couldn't get out.
Another nice weekend at home for us doing things around the house1 It feels like such a treat to be at home getting stuff done, as before we mvoed we were out every weekend for 10 weeks running. Having said that DH and I are going to drop tori at mum and dads and go and see Harry Potter this arvo and then going back for a Mum cooked Roast mmmmmmmmmmm (mine are never as good). We went shoppping yesterday and bought a new vacuum cleaner and a steam mop, I have white tiles through about 3/4 of the house so I have to be much better and mopping anc vacuuming to keep on top of the grim.
Nic- bummer about missing out on the w/e away.DH and i were going to take Tori away for a few days but we just dont seem to have the time to do it, so we are going to leave Tori for the night at Mum and Dads and have a night in a hotel, we are going to Cirque De Soleil in Sept so we will do it then. I also hope your DH picks up his act when the new bubba arrives.
Julie- Love the new avatar. Spewing about the bank, I would be angry as well, are they just allowed to do that without notifying you? I would be referring all angry calls from tradesmen directly to the bank.
Maya- i hope that Oscar is feeling better today.
Dee- I hope your brood are feeling better today. Good luck with the uni stuff this semester what units are you doing. Dont forget to let me know if you need any help with anything.
Donna- I hope that the morning sickness doesnt get too bad. I was really lucky this time and I wasnt half as bad as I was with Tori, however, I still had days where I felt awful. I said to a friend of mine that it is different this time ebcause I have Tori to focus on, where as last time all I had to think about was myself and my pregnancy.
Bath- How exciting at having the prospect of living overseas. Just imagine what a brillliant life experience it will be for your kids as well. Even though I am teacher and believe in everything that is taught in the classroom, there are some things that they just cant learn there and can only be gained through life experience, being emerged in a different culture, language, religion is a far richer experience than learning about it through books. There is a chance down the track that I could go on exchange as a teacher and work in another country, and I have say that Canada would be my first choice.
Im after some advice, tori has dropped down to 1 day nap now usually about 11:30 she goes down (after lunch) and sleeps anywhere from 1-3 hours (depending on if we are at home or out and about). She goes to bed between 6-7:30 depending on what time she got up from her nap........BUT she is isnt sleep through the night again, waking up at 3ish for at least an hour maybe 2. Not sure what to do to get her to sleep through the night, 2 day sleeps are just impossible she will not go down for a sleep in the afternoon, not even if she has only had an hours sleep during the day. Maybe she will adjust to her new routine as it has only really changed in the last 2 weeks. Any ideas?
Well better go I am being nagged to make the pancakes for brekkie that I promised.
Ali - I wish i had an answer for you, Lachlan is doing the same thing but, he will go to bed at about 1.30pm and sleep until about 3ish. then go to bed about 6.30 - 7pm and he too is up at about 1am for about an hour or so, just whinging, not screaming but very unsettled. Some things you could try: Is it cold in her room? perhaps put a little heater for the early hours of the morning. Have you tried music? this used to help with lachlan when he would wake up in the night he would still have the same music that he went to sleep with playing and he would go back on his own. Other than that, it might just be her getting used to her new routine. Maybe she isnt getting all the sleep she needs and she just needs to adjust to less sleep.
Good luck with it though, i completely understand your situation!!
Mel - Great news about the dairy, soon she will be eating heaps of it and you will have forgotten all the dramas!! What a cheeky monkey getting out of her growbag!! Lachlan has a sleeping bag too, im waiting for the day he figures out the zipper!!
Nickers - What a shame about the competition. Winning must be in the air (with my mars bar win and all!)
Good luck getting DH back into the domestic routine!!
Well, my 5 year old nephew is in hospital and has just been diagnosed with Diabetes type 1. He has to have 4 injections per day for the rest of his life. My sister is really upset and so is her DH. They have been in tears. On top of that he has to get blood from his fingers 4 times a day to test his blood/sugar levels. its horrible. he has little bandaids on all of his fingers and the doctors keep coming in and taking more. they are now taking blood from the part right next to the fingernail and its really hurting him. I hope he is ok. I know that alot of people live with this and after a couple of years it will just be a way of life for him but its just alot for a 5 year old to have to deal with and he is worried about being different to the other kids.
Im at work today, i have been looking forward to coming to work, its such a nice break!
Lachlan had another terrible night last night. up for a couple of hours from about 1am until about 3am. Oh i hope this ends soon!!
Donna a guy that I grew up with also had Type 1 diabetes and as he got older he had less shots of insulin, so maybe as your nephew gets older he will also have less shots, I'm thinking of your nephew and praying that it will get better for him. Diabetes Aust is usually a great place to check out as well.
Ali have fun at Harry Potterand enjoy your mum's roast. Cody is also only having one sleep during the day, but he's sleeping thru the night, maybe trying giving her some more food at dinner time or only allowing her to sleep for 1-2 hrs during the day. HTH.
Mel what a cheeky little monkey Marley is, that's great that she hasn't had a reaction with the yoghurt and the milk, hopefully she will stay like that.
Nic thats great that you've finally gotten a house, I'm sure you will feel more settled once you have moved. I did the same thing with DH just before I had Cody, once I had him everytime Wyatt would wake, I woke him and said Wyatts' up and he would get up to him. DH is a very deep sleeper. I hope that your DH helps you too.
Dee how are things going at your house? I hope that Melissa and Nathan are on the mend by now. That's great that your SIL got the kids to tidy up while you were out it must have been nice to come home to a tidy house.
Well on Friday Cody finally stood by himself without holding onto anything and he also took one step, so it won't be long before he will be running around with his brothers. I took Kailen and Cody to Kailens school fete today it was great, brought some choccy crackles and lollies for the boys from the cake stall and got a grocery bag of childrens books for $5. Got a roast lamb in the slow cooker for dinner and just about to go and watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
hugs xoxo

: Adding more
Ali - how was Harry Potter? I want to take DH to see it on Sat for his birthday and we both love Harry Potter. White tiles will keep you busy lol!!! I have cream coloured ones and I am forever cleaning them. I usually do them with an old handtowel with some water and vinegar and use my foot to push the towel around, it gives you a great leg workout! I have no idea what you can do to help Tori sleep, but like Donna said, maybe the room is a bit chilly??? Good luck with it.
Donna - your poor nephew, what a thing to deal with at the age of 5! I am sure he will get alot of support from his parents and diabetes organisations. Thankfully it is something he can live with and manage. Its still sad that he has to go through all that skin pr!cking, must hurt! I love going to work too and I totally agree, it is a nice break.
Amanda - Cody is getting clever, bet he can't wait to chase after his brothers. I love a good school fete, esp for those treats like choc crackles, honey joys, fudge and cakes!!!! Glad you stocked up. Enjoy your afternoon of Harry Potter and lollies.
I have added to my website and album called Artworks. I would love to hear your opinions? My dad wanted a painting done for his birthday, the same as one I had already done. I decdied to do his a bigger version, hope he likes it! I really love painting and creating designs. They are very abstract as I can't really paint scenery etc, no good at that lol!
Chelsea has been a right pain in behind today, was going to take up Dees suggestion and sell her!!! It started off this morning when she was playing with Marley in her lounge room, she decided Marley was in her way so she pushed her and Marley fell scrapping her chin on the side of a cane chest, drawing blood! I was really mad at Chelsea as she didn't seem to care too much about it. I showed her the blood and she then looked worried - then off to the naughty corner. Later in the day, she knocked off one of my willow figurines that I got as a birthday present this year, and part of it smashed! I always tell her to keep away from them as they have come close to falling many times, she thinks its fun to play with them! Well I was so angry, she had to go to naughty corner again and sit for a bit longer. She did come over and apologise as she could see how angry I was. I tried to find the pieces that broke off but some had shattered, so there's no hope of putting it back together! Then to top it all off, she went into Marleys room this afternoon to get a wipe, problem was Marley was asleep and she woke her up! ARGGGGGGGHHHHHH. I thought I would have to worry about Marley breaking things, so far she hasn't broken anything! OK rant over!
Made a big lasagne for dinner, so better go put it in the oven. Hope everyone's had a good weekend.
Mel you budding artist you, hehehe, they are awesome, I've done my own stuff which is currently hiding in my WIR I often walk paste the craft shop and think I should get some more supplies and do some new ones, Youv'e inspired me to get into action.
Nathan is now down with teething issues, my poor boy and he has given me thrush AGAIN. I can't believe it, so painful and he refuses to suckle with the nipple sheild. Never had this problem with the other babies.
Nathan has also dropped the second sleep, he will go down for one sleep and sleep for 1 to 3 hours and then will sleep through the night most nights however does have episodes of waking at night. I usually pop the boob out he will suckle and go back to sleep. However he is getting to an age where I will give him a bottle of water to go to bed (usually 18mnths) with and will ignore him waking at night. ohhhh again taking forever to post sorry girls the boy needs me I promise to try and do a proper post tomorrow. Should have done this one first.
Ohhh Well hi and bye

That's what I love about our little group here, sometimes we'll be the one in need, and other times we'll be the needed. Anyway, it's fantastic that we're able to share this good news, as well as partaking in the journey to get to this point!

I would have been totally lost with all the June bubbas birthdays too... you did a great job there! Oh and that reminds me; Jaspen sent me a PM saying that she's having a really hard time getting on here to chat and wants to say "hi" to everyone, she misses you all, and hopes to get on here soon!
