Good luck Danni I really hope it goes well for you going back to work I can understand the nervousness but I am sure you will do just fine.Ive worked in the same place for 17 years but am still nervous about having been out for 6 months already.

WOO HOO POOPY way to go on the roll you must be so proud prama see you knew he would do it in his own timewatch out now he'll think he;s so smart he will want to do it all the time
Washing machines are the bane of my life ours always went off balance made the most horendous sound, leaekd some sort of oil or rust stuff onto the clothes and last week totally tore up one of NIcks work jumpers becasue apeice of plastic had cracked.. So off to Harvey Norman I went on Sunday and bought a new one on the interest free thingy ( hate doing that but hey might as well use their money atm when I need it now sort of thing) I got a new 8 kg fisher and pykel aquasmart. Holy cow I am sure if it had arms it woudl load the clothes for you too Its brilliant. It remembers your settings for each wash and when I had my doona in there the other night ( king size so big load) it went a little off kilter so an alarm sounded and the screen saidHELP HELP please HELP my load is off balance *L* one small movement and it was fine It makes less noise than the kettle boiling *L* sad I am so excited abotu a washing mahcine but it has made life so much easier with all the extra washing

prama I am hopless with the heat my adrenal gland is sort of shot and I sweat really badly at odd times but come summer it horrid pLus being the heffer I am I dont wear slinky outfits or shorts or anything so rugging up behind trackies and a cardy to hide the sins suits me *L*
We havent had much cold here at all to be honest but then again I suppose we moan when it does get cold the wind is howling and its freezing and I have my heat bag and acup of ovaltine *L*

Trina how did you do at work this week?

shell and bj got to say having AF again after a year was a pita,as if I wasnt moody enough before form tiredness etc now the pms again.. I stopped taking the mini pill I was given as it gave me serious headaches so playing abit of russian roulette with just condoms(sorry tmi) It was just much easier not having AF to worry about hope

yay to dj on the weight gain..cant beleive these babies are past 6 kilos now when they were half or less born it just flys by huh

HUbby bit the bullet and applied for another job today he never ever takes sick leave and he took days this week as he is so stressed and run down and sick of his job I was really shocked and then he applied for this so I knwo its time to move on I really want for him to be in a job where peopel realy dont take advantage

Am off to bed and my warm doona NIght NIght

I want a new washing machine!!

Mine is a 3 1/2 kilo 2nd hand one.
It's ok. No probs with it except that it's small.
Our laundry tub is one of those old concrete ones. It's all blocked up atm. When not completely blocked - which it is all the time - The water goes down so slow it fills up & runs on the floor. It's been doing this for 3 or 4 weeks now. I'm over it. I'll get in there & fix it tomorrow I guess.

Yay Poopy!!! Clever little man! Jesse's thought about it, but gets on his side & is happy enough there.

The journal I gotta keep til my next appointment in 2 weeks I hope. Gotta write everytime she plays up. What's happening at the time, what she does & says & how we react.
She chased Bri through the house with a screw driver today! Scared me! & tipped her off a bean bag onto the hard lino floor. Coz Bri sat on the wrong one. It's never ending.
Gonna put in times she goes to sleep & wakes up & nights she has nightmares & all that stuff too. Pretty much EVERYTHING.
The psyc is gonna organise some assesments for learning developemental delays - Coz she had hearing problems from 3 til grommits put in last Nov, ADD, ODD, & I gotta get a full check up from a pead. Bloods & all. Iron levels.
The learning developemental delay got me. She was so advanced as a kid. Smiling 3 weeks, sitting 5 months, crawling 8 months, walking 11 months. Not unbelievably ahead with that sort of stuff, but...

... She was counting to 10 before she turned 2. Saying I love you & I miss you at 13 - 14 months. Knew most colours before 2. She's a very smart kid.
I do know the hearing problems have affected her though. She's just changed schools too. There were 12 kids in the whole school before. There are about 20 in her class now. I don't think that's helping. It's not getting noticed I think?
Oh & we are having a video conference with the head of Psycology at I think Westmead Hospital. Or Far West? One of those.
So yeah. Heaps happening.

Glad to hear DJ is putting good weight on now. You should be proud of yourself.

Anyways. I think I've written enough. It's very late & I'll probably be up for brekky by 7 or 8, so I better get to bed!!

Night all

thanks skye! not sure when poopy will attempt his rolling again, it was milestone, hehe. now i realise he's growing up fast. he is already 17weeks.
jaz sounds like such a smart kid, she's developed so much, is she having delays inother things? could it be she needs other sorts of stimulation cos she's learning so much? sorry, not meaning to ask too many questions.

anyway, i think we're almost all packed. poopy is sleeping and my boobs hurt. he was tired early last night but now is fighting sleep and screaming. he went to bed 10ish. i put him on the boob for the last feed and he had a couple of minutes and then was dead to the world. i hope he sleeps a bit on the plane. im nervous about take off and landing. have to have him close to the boob, and stick him on as soon as we start to take off.

if i dont get online later, take care girls. lol.. i'll still be online tomorrow but feels like im going away and not being able to be in touch.

Prama. I'm so excited for you! I've never been on a plane, sad , huh!Hope he handles it well.

At our first visit the psyc actually told me that Jaz was feeling like she's not part of the family any more. Like she's been pushed out as the other two came along. I didn't wanna go back after that coz I don't agree, but I did & he hasn't said anything about that since.
But I went back, & I'm glad I did. The reason he thinks she might have a learning delay is coz I don't think she really understands whats going on around her in class. He asked me if she understands when I ask her to do something. It was then that I realised that she does, but coz I'm her mum I talk to her different to how anyone else would.
I have noticed that when I'm around & other people say things to her, I do simplify it for her. She had another hearing test done earlier this year & was told how to play the game thing they have there to do it. She looked abit lost, so I said it the way I would talk to her & she got it & did it exactly right.
He thinks this might be going on at school & coz she's at a new school she doesn't wanna ask the teacher what she's supposed to do again, in case the other kids think she's stupid. Fair enough I reckon. I can definetely see that & like I said before, coz there are 20 kids in the class, it's just not being seen.
So yeah...

Her teacher actually called me up to the school a few months ago to let me know that she was a bit behind & having problems. She said to me that she could be an 'average' student! 'Average?' I told her that I actually thought she could do alot better that that, she just needs help. Told the psyc she said that & wasn't real pleased. 'Average what?' he said. 'Average genius?' He believes no child is stupid. Every child is smart they just need someone to help them along the way. Which doesn't happen often at schools. Once a problem child always a problem child. IYKWIM.
So yeah. I don't really know about her needing to be more stimulated or what ever. Will know eventually I guess. Right now I really don't have the time or energy to try to do anything to find out by myself.

Still not getting much sleep. Jesse went to bed around 9pm. Woke at 10.45, 1am, 2.30am, 4am, 5.30am & didn't really go back to sleep after that. I got more formula yesterday, so I'll try giving him a bottle before bed & see if that helps.
Had to throw out 3/4 of a tin of formula yesterday! You aren't supposed to use it one month after opening it. I think I bought & opened that one when he was 5 or 6 weeks old. What a waste!

Anyways, hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far. Maybe someone was lucky enough to get a sleep in. Definetely not me!

I had a terrible night! I was feeling unwell so took a couple of panadol & a hayfever tablet and went to bed early. 2.5hours later Jazz woke up. I went in and put a dummy in her mouth. an hour later she woke up again so I fed her. An hour after feeding she woke again, put the dummy in, then she woke 3 hours later so I fed her, half an hour after putting her to bed she woke again. Dummy in, then she woke another 45mins later and I just laid there waiting for her to settle herself. Things went quiet for about an hour, then she woke again and I just laid there hoping she'd stop but she didn't so I had to get up...

There she goes again! I'm meant to be going out to my cousin's birthday tonight which is about 45mins drive away. I'm not sure if I'll get there, I'm heaps tired. Feeling a bit better though.

I was going to have a real coffee this morning but when I went to froth the milk there was no pressure in the machine...I was so out of it that I forgot to add water.
