OMG OMG OMG! Catherine! What fantastic news! Have to say though, I'm not that surprised, I had a feeling this was going to happen. by the billions to you! I'll text you in later.
Sorry I have been so slack in posting lately.I'm good though, still going well and still haven't even had a bad day.All is good, all is 'normal'.
Bit of a nightmare weekend though....Sam had a cold and got his 3rd tooth.I scraped the car on a brick wall on Saturday, estimate about $4000 to fix. It was pouring with rain and I guess I just over estimated the turn.Then when I was on my way back into the house I slipped and did a Britney almost dropping Sam, managed to save him but have the mother of all bruises on my shin.After that I changed Sam's pooey nappy only to discover he wasn't finished and he pooed all over MIL's bed and my hand.Finally had him clean and he decided to wee too.Went to the toilet and discovered AF.Joy!Just one of those days.
Sam isn't crawling yet, maybe he never will? He tries to, the just cracks it.HE has been getting really into solids lately but still drinking as muck Breast milk as ever.Still biting occasionally, managed to make my other nipple bleed yesterday.Little bugger.I love BFing though, so stopping isn't what I want to do.I'll just ride it out.
Ooohh, I have my first two births as a trainee Doula booked! One for April and one for early July! Ages away but gives me time to prepare and I should have finished all of my theory by then.
So everything is good here! One thing though...Why can't all of you live in Melbourne? I wish I could meet all of you face to face.I'm thinking next year I might take Sam away for a couple of weekends while Tony is away and come a meet some of you guys!
Bec, That's a long time to wait to see the surgeon.Poor little Jake.Hope he's not in too much pain. Thank you for what you wrote last post about all of us, you know we all feel the same about you.
Sam just woke up.BBL later to do the rest of the personals.
Laura that is great news about having two births booked!! What does that mean for you? are you there 'in-training' with another Doula? You'll be able to help Catherine out! And anyone else who falls pg Glad to hear all is going well generally, despite a crappy weekend
**OMG DH left his sander inside, just wondered what that noise was and found Jake sanding the polished floorboards!!**
Did you say you'd posted the BL's?? I haven't received anything..... No problem if you haven't, no hurry Oh and on the Berry Plush's.....meh...I'm not too taken with them yet. They are ok but seem too big on Jake yet. Look cute with the plush colours but that's it. No leakeage or anything, just too big I think. I'd be happy to send you one to test if you want?
Robbo, sorry about the large booster.....I didn't think until I went to get them out and saw they were large. You must be sewing up a storm!
Still house hunting here, very over it too. Think we've decided on a town which is an hour away but much more affordable. DH has some family there and his grandparents lived there so he spent time there as a child. got the mobile lender coming tonight to talk more -in -depth about finances. Joy.
Cam managed to sit on Santa's knee yesterday without cracking the goo ... so we now have our first official Santa photo. Geez, it'll be Dec 25 before we know it!
Well, I officially take the award for "crappy mum of the week". Yesterday morning I sat Cam on our bed for 2 secs while I ducked into the ensuite for deodorant ... and he toppled over (still on the bed) and grazed his forehead on the metal railing at the end of the bed. I thought I'd sat him far enough away from it, but obviously not . He didn't cry or seem worried, so it wasn't too bad - but I still felt awful. Then this morning, after a BF I sat him in his papasan-thing-a-me in the lounge and I left him for one minute to go into the kitchen. Stupid mummy ... because he obviously pitched forward and smacked his head on the carpet. At least he was only a few cm off the floor, as the papsan is a low-set one. But still - stupid, stupid mummy !! Cam bawled, but more in shock than any pain, I think - being carpet and the fact he didn't fall far means it was definitely only a very minor fall. Naturally he got a gazillion kisses and cuddles from a guilty me and he quietened down quickly, and actually went to sleep (he's still asleep 30 mins later). And I sure learned my lesson(s) before I did anything REALLY dumba$$. Poor baby.
Ah ... I spoke too soon as he's now awake, so guess the rest of my post will be done in bits n pieces.
Bec - thanks hun for your kind words to us. You're pretty special too, don't forget. Eighteen months ago I never imagined I'd connect with people so well via the internet - I was never into chat rooms etc. But BB is a fantastic site and I find it an invaluable source of information. And I think our group of mums is pretty darn terrific! Keep your chin up with the house-hunting ... it's easy to be "over it", I know the feeling! Sorry to hear your paed appt is so far away - little Jake sounds like a trooper.
Stacey - glad to hear you guys survived your DS's b'day sleepover. Cam isn't a "chubby" bubba ... he's now 8.6kg and 73cm long. No cute little fat rolls on him whatsoever. In fact, no teeth whatsoever either!!
Gotta fly - Cam's wanting some attention and it's a little too hard to type with him on my lap. He wants to type too . BBL to finish personals.
Bec - 3 teeth in 10days. Geez I would not be impressed the other way around.
I am expressing cos I wanted to see if E slept or settled any better if he just had bottles. Not really conclusive, certainly didn't sleep all night and was just as hard to settle. For now I will continue doing what I am doing, maybe a bottle before bed maybe not and I will offer a bottle when out. Nto that I mind BF in public he just doesn't drink that is all. We had another 'good' night last night. When he finally settled he slept until 2 then 530 then 830. WOOOOOOOOO
Mel and Laura....where are you hon?? how are you doing??
