yes we are still all alive and kicking and spewing and pooing and tantruming and laughing and running and falling and sliding and blowing and kneeling and all that other stuff they do to scare the absolute bugger out of me.
now that nate is 85cm and 14kgs hes more like our baby rhino than i care to think. ihave got bruises from his crash tackling of me and yes his head height is just right to down me for a minute. words are flowing like maisy at a party. sometimes he can even string a few together that dont make sense but we love it anyway. tt has just started so weve had a few messy accidents but he knows what hes done after the fact, now we just need to now the fact before.
the funniest thing hes doing at the moment is blowing raspberries everywhere, the doors, floors, bath time, in the pool, in his cup full of water(),on the tiles on the verandah and best of all on our tummies. he loves the sound!
hes loving his food at the moment. bananas top of the list followed by avocado then watermelon and anything fed to him by anyone but DW and I. he'll eat at daycare no worries, eat for nan and pop, eat for friends but if we try to feed him lunch or dinner its 'no' shake head accompanied with flying hands unless its yoghurt. we give him the spoon and fork and he tries, gets frustrated and cracks the poos. keep trying i guess.
sleeping well. two hours at lunch then 730 til 5 am. have got used to the early starts so its not much of an issue. sometimes if were tired we'll ask if he wants to come to our bed....yeah and a nod. sleep and extra 1 1/2hr. then its time to get up and feed me or i'll huff and i'll puff and blow you a raspberry!!!!
have just put in for a customs job in brissie and have to be positive. would really love it if i got it. part time and short shifts, perfect for our family situation with mum earning all the money and keeping me in the lifestyle that i have become accustomed to.lots of prays please.
sorry its been so long but im still the lazy male here.
Hi everyone, hope you haven't all melted in the heat!
Hey Dragonstorm sounds like Nate is lots of fun now. Lewis was still up at 5am until recently, now he will generally go until around 6am-6.30am which is a nice lie in . I think it's because he finally dropped his morning sleep and now just has a lunchtime one.
Starfish - Diana sounds like she has cracked the potty training then. I haven't even started with Lewis but he will go nappy-less at home for quite a while now.
Teepee and Celsie - You must be suffering in this heat Oh well not much longer
Charly - sounds like your two really are bulldozers! I bet DD1 inspires DD2 to be a daredevil too. Lewis loves climbing now, I found him with the oven door open (switched off obviously) stood on it trying to reach for his dummy on the kitchen bench. Scared the life out of me. We have got a safety catch on there but the heat of the oven makes it unstick.
PP - How is Ethan, he must be growing up so fast?
Lewis is going through the 'acky' phase where he can't get his hands or feet dirty. When he falls over he just holds his hands out and says 'acky, ta' until I wipe them off. What a prima donna! Hope that phase doesn't last long. Think that's the whole reasoning behind him not liking the sand aswell.
hi everyone
been a very long time since i posted in here but things have been full on. looks like all ur lil ones are going great immy is ok not putting on much weight she is 9 kg ang has been since she was 1 so we are waithing to hear from the peads and go and find out what is going on. we have had another baby a boy this time he is almost 4 months old now time is going way to fast we had a few problems with him when he was born he wasnt putting on any weight and it turns out that his vitamin b12 levels were really low and so were mine but things are going good now and he is getting bigger just hope nothing to bad is wrong with immy oh well i best be off i have lots to do today
Lira - I hope you gets some answers for Immy really soon.
Bad news from our camp. I've been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I had the standard test, which knocked me about, so I wasn't surprised when they called later that afternoon to ask me to come back in for the two hour one... and obviously, that didn't go well either. I'm really annoyed with IMVS and the doctors. I waited 36 hours for results and no-one called. I called IMVS who did the test and they said they'd passed the results onto the maternity suite and they'd put me through. No worries. The girl who I spoke to said "I'm not qualified to read the results"... are you telling me you can't read??? So, I had to wait till a doctor could be bothered to call me back and tell me. The doctor was very vague and said that somone "should" call me this week to let me know what happens next.
So, I'm quietly terrified, as I don't really knows what this means for me or the baby. I'm also starving, because I'm trying not to eat anything with any sugar in it, natural or otherwise. Grrr...
Caeleb and I have both been struck down with colds, although he seems over his and I'm still coughing and spluttering. It's not been the best week for health in this household.
I've been watching the fires on the tv in utter shock. I can't believe so many people have lost their lives. It's just so sad. We went straight to the NAB on Monday morning and made a donation. I'm glad the nation has pulled together to support the people of Victoria.
Congratulations on your new baby Lira! Hopefully Immy will be okay, they don't tend to put much weight on once they start walking so fingers crossed it's nothing serious.
Celsie - Sorry to hear about your GD. Try not to worry, it seems to be really common nowadays doesn't it? I was borderline last time and they told me to follow a low GI diet but I didn't have to take insulin. My friend had it really bad both pregnancies and had to inject 4 times a day. However both babies were fine, the second one had to be monitored for the first 2 days and was put in a seperate unit for 48 hours but all was good in the end. I think they will take extra measurements to see if your baby grows more than it should. But try not to stress too much
Yes the fires are just terrible, it makes you realise how lucky we all are for what we have. I work for a charity and a group of staff have gone down to organise kids activites etc. I couldn't go because I have Lewis and DH works nights but I would have loved to have been able to help out.
Lira - congratulations on your new little bubby!! I hope everything turns out fine with Immy
We too have been having a rough time health wise. Started out with the girls getting colds which has turned into yukky chesty coughs and for some reason DD#2 can't keep her temp down. Been to dr so just have to monitor. So for mummy & daddy it's been not much sleep - which of course results in mummy getting sick. Ah shuz butt! Then to make things a little more spicy as though colds weren't fun enough, DH crushed and broke his finger at work on the weekend and bless him, he's trying to do as much as he can to help but you just don't realise how important a limb is until you can't use it!
But it all pails into insignificance in a sense when you watch the news - doesn't take away from what we each are going through but you just realise how blessed you are. Gosh I've lost count how many times I've had a tear! A group of us girls associated through my craft business are planning a fundraiser event for it all. It may or may not be much but in my mind every little bit counts.
Firstly - apologies Lira - I did mean to congratulate you on the new addition. What did you call him?
Thanks for the replies girls...
I went out shopping straight after I posted. I bought some cot manchester and newborn clothes in (insert four lettered name of a colour in here) (yes, I realise both pink and blue have four letters... ) for this little baby. I've not bought it a single thing till today! I know... horrible Mummy. Made me feel so much better though. Amazing what a bit of retail therapy will do.
I got a call from a Diabetes Counsellor whilst I was out. She was lovely and was able to squeeze me in for an appointment tomorrow. So, all my questions will be answered then. There's about four or five girls in my belly buddies who have GD now, so they've been great with support and advice. I've been told to expect the Ob's to try and take over with everything, including the birth, so I'm going to try and keep control as much as I can.
I was able to feel no: 2's foot yesterday. He/she was sticking it straight out of my belly, so I grabbed it and received a hard kick for my troubles. I remember playing the same game with Caeleb. Must be getting squashy in there as I can feel elbows, knees and heels most of the time now, especially at night time when I'm trying to sleep. Still no stretch marks either!!! YAY!!!
Okay, I've got to go start cleaning my house. I've got my MIL coming over to look after Caeleb while I'm at my appointment tomorrow. For some strange reason, she never calls before coming over and every time she comes over, my house looks like a tip. Yet, when it's immaculate, no-one ever comes over... is it just me, or does this happen to everyone?
