Jazz was very sleepy today. She slept most of the day at day care. I did tell them she had her injections yesterday so they kind of expected her to not be herself. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow I think. I had a good workout at the gym duing my lunch break today. I had one of the trainers do a program for me. But I am looking forward to going on Monday morning before work...I love having a gym less than 1 minute walk from my desk at work!
Having a glass of wine DH has moved out this is the first night.
Having a tough time with Summer at the moment, she is very very very mobile and will not sit for a second anymore, she wont sleep either and is very hard to amuse. She only had two little sleeps today between 6am and 7pm and woke heaps during last night. She is cranky cos she is teething all over again i can see her top teeth through the gums but i don't think they are close so i really hope she doesn't suffer for too long. You can have 4 kids and still not know what's wrong or what to do.... They are all so different.
I hope your bubbas don't get mobile in a hurry i can't leave her for a second now and she won't play with ANY toys for longer than a minute. Even when i pick her up now she tries to wriggle out of my arms to go exploring.
Glad you are enjoying work Shell, good to get the brain working. I will have to meet you guys at Parramatta one day, i used to work in our clinic at Parra every 2nd week and have been meaning to take Summy down to meet them all.
Prama how you going? Go and find someone to talk to it will make you feel so much better, i have been seeing someone and after only 2 sessions i feel so different.
SJ glad you had a good birthday and got spoiled you deserve it.
Bron, have you started treatment yet? how you feeling? hope you are well
Skye do you have rain there? It is soooo wet here.
Well i have had a full on week back at the gym have been every day so feeling good but tired I am on a mission to lose weight and feel good again.
trina - hope you and hte girls are doing ok....
thanks - i see my counsellor tomorrow. i dunno what to say anymore. the last few days w sleep deprivation and exhaustion, i feel like i turn into this other person that's not me.. like i have split personality.. i just feel like running and running sometimes but feel like there's a ton of lead attached me cos of my responsibilites and love for poopy and steve.
i dunno if im making any sense
am i hte only one still pureeing poopy's food? i tried to give him some mashed food but he was gagging on it.
oh, can you give rusks before the teeth comes out or only when it starts poking out? im scared he might choke on it...
Prama good on you for seeking help I have been on anti depresants for a month now..I had other issues but found I wasnt coping with Will becasue of it that and counselling has made a world of difference.And yes you make perfect sense the loss of yourself is huge and sometimes hard to get back.The fact you recognise it is the first step take care of you ok xx
I use the blender on WIlls food but it has never been pureed as such this week I chopped up roast beef as finely as I could and he seems to cope ok. He has also had rusks for about a month now and it really helps with the chewing action and he hasnt choked it just kind of turns to mush really
Trina no I havent started yet the drug committe wont make final approval till Monday now :-( they halved my drugs but it resulted in half the platlettes so we will see what happens over the weekend.
As danni said here is to new begginings for all sorts of things.xx
Loads of rian here too been wet for 2 full days its great
got to go bbl his nibs is awake

Trina - i hope everthing goes smoothly for you hope you are doing ok
sorry cant do personals, trying to orgainse the weekend, have a wedding today and DSS mum has managed to yet again bugger everything up so yeah, my nce weekends has now been stuffed... https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post1413328 here is my vent if you re interested in the read
with the chewing and soild food, you are better to give big chuncks that they can hold rather than smaller peices.
Babies do cough and gag, its learning control and how far they can put things in their moths, they will do it until they have learnt, distressing at first to watch, but it goes away.
Humm going to leave t at that, sorry gusy, hope you have a weekends and Trina and Bron thinking of you both, for different reasonas of cousre but sending you both hngs
Ah sj what a pita not sure what to say but I know it sux to have to carry other people all the time can you and hubby sit down with her and have a good talk about it all and how its affecting you.

SJ what a biatch...... She needs a good slapping! right back at you.
Re the chunks the gaging doesn't last long, i tried Summy with tinned pear which is pretty soft and she was fine with that, now she can handle anything, i had to break it up and put it in her mouth as it was too slippery for her to hold.
Trina - Enjoy that glass! As hard as the change will be, think about the freedom. To be able to do what ever you want with the girls without having to run it by someone else first.
As the others have said, to new beginnings!
Yeah it rained all day here yesterday & last night & is all wet & muddy outside. Lovely. The sun was open when I opened the blinds this morning, but its still trying to make up its mind.
Hopefully it'll come out & dry the sheep out today. I reckon the need to invent a Wool Dryer! A hair dryer for sheep!!
to you too Prama. Hope you feel better soon.
Well its fathers day tomorrow. Would you believe I forgot? Bugger. I got something last week though coz I thought it was last Sunday.
I have this pink dressing gown that I payed $80 for at a Lorraine Lea Linen Party. I love it, its so nice & soft.
Anyway, Anth used to wear it around, so when I was in Target the other day & saw one that felt the same in black for $30, I bought it.
I dunno if he'll wear it or not, but if he doesn't I probably will.
Had a few issues with Jaz's asthma yesterday. Glad we got it settled before I had to take her to A&E though.
Stupid me decided to have a drink with my next door neighbour for her birthday today. Knowing
Jaz had had a bit of an attack earlier. If I had a brain mate, it'd up & leave me!
Around 8.30 she started. She had her ventolin a few tomes, then I tried her reliever puffer & a drink & got her to sleep.
Finally she stopped coughing! I'm so glad.
I think I'd only had one drink by then, was maybe on my second, so if I wasn't still on my green P's (lazyness) I'd have been fine to drive, but I'm on 0 alcohol level.
Then if you take a child into A&E they do a report on how the child/ren are presented (dirty face/clothes, snotty noses) & if the mother smells, or appears to have had any alcohol, or other drugs, so silly me was worried about taking her up there.
I didn't want a heap of crap over a drink or 2! So anyway I was really relieved when she finally stopped coughing & went to sleep.
Anyway, we've got new medication to try, so hopefully she'll be fine for a while at least.
Stayed up WAY too late talking, so I'm so tired. I hope Jesse decides to have his nap soon. I need a nanna nap!
He's just starting to winge.....nice. Bri's still asleep (!!) & Jaz can watch a movie.
bron - sorry to hear abt anti-depressants, how do you feel taking them, if you dont mind me asking. i dont have to at the moment, but the last week has been bad and my coucillor now wants to me see her more often as she says im getting back and further down..
sj - hope your day was good despite dss' mum always managing to find the right time to mess things up for you.
skye - hope jaz is feeling better. i didnt know that tehy take into account your appearance etc when you take your child to emergency
trina - i tried giving poopy some fish, with lumpy carrots and pumpkin, he didnt like it. he managed to chew but i think he didnt like the taste. we then pureed it but he still dint like it and threw it all up. then we made some cereal and put a little put of the fish mixture in and he ate it. i think he didnt like fish, it's the second time it's happened. i baked it with a dob of butter but it had a bit of fishy smell. maybe next time i'll cook it with stock or something.
father's day - we are going to go for a picnic, hope the weather's ok. we got some yummy stuff from a bavarian butcher up the road from us, he's very famous here. steve loves it.
i didnt get a chance to get him anythng , just a little card from poopy.
prama I dont mind talking about it at all I feel its important actually to share info and experiences with them so they are not stigmatised.I used to freak out at the mention of them and had imagined I would be walking around liek a zombie..not so at all. I first had them after my 13 visit to hospital in one year when I really hit rock bottom. We have had a lot issues going on here at home and when I felt myself really not coping my concern was my care for Will and being the mum and wife I wanted to be. I asked straight away for them to just get me through few months I have no side affects at all still feel lots of emotion but it just levels me out helps me cope with crisis times much easier.
The talk though is extremley important as well but if you feel that you need that extra bit to just get you through then spak to your counsellor about it. Not everybody will agree but I know it worked for me..I had to keep a diary of feelings and reactions the first time I took it so thye may ask you to do that if you go down this route.
I hope you can get some releif and have less pressure on yourself.I think we place huge sometimes unrealistic expecatations on ourselves in everyday life let alone as mothers and we tend to take everything personaly as well it can be cumalative and add this to lack of sleep which has an enormous affect on us then we can sometimes find it hard to find a posistive in things.
Take care of you and hopefully Steve recognises when you are having days that just need him to step in and take lakshman for a walk or out for a drive to give you some space.Its ok to be going through this it doent mean you are not a great mu or wife or employee if your not coping with some situations..its just being human
thanks so much bron... it means a lot.
yes, i had to write down my distorted beliefs and real beliefs and my objectives. and yes, she told me in previous generations, a mum didnt have to look after a child 24/7 like we do. there was always family support. and we put so much pressure on ourselves to be supermum.
will talk more.. poopy's 'commando-ing' between the coffee table and sofa! we've already put up the playpen lengthwise so he doesnt get to the fireplace.
Prama, I still give Jazz puree (with the exception of rusk sticks). But I am going to try finger foods.
It's Jazzy's half birthday today!
Matt got breakfast in bed and then I brought Jazz in and had her holding his presents (with my help). They had lots of cuddles.
He enjoyed looking after her on Thursday so much that as of this week we are dropping Friday's at child care and he will have her every Friday.
Yesterday we took Jazz to the Adelaide Show. She was such a good girl and was really enjoying watching everyone and everything. Slept a bit (mainly while we were in the showbag hall which was good).
Big hugs to Trina - just think it is a new beginning for you. Thinking of you.
Prama - thinking of you also, you have such a supporting husband too, it is good that he can help out. I love hearing about Poopy's commando crawling kehehee I so need to baby-proof this house. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow. I will call you when I get there and we can arrange a meeting spot. I need to get a slow cooker from Target actually, they are on special for $50 and I think it might just save me some time when I get home from work knowing dinner is already done kehehe We can have a good chat over coffee tomorrow.
Skye - hope Jazz is feeling better. that sucks about how child is represented.... well more so if mother has had a glass or two of wine. It isn't like we plan for our children to get sick. It is unexpected, and how can you prepare for that....
Sj - hope your weekend gets better
Bron - wow on the rusks, DJ isn't big into them yet.... I gave him a strawberry last night in a feeder thingy coz we were scared of him choking and he absolutely loved it!!!! I also gave him baby yoghurt this morning and he loved that as well, ended up having a quarter of a tub And great news on the roast beef, sounds like he loves his meat
Danni- how is Jazz now after her injections? Less sleepy? I have DJ booked in on Friday afternoon for his and Doni will be at a work meeting so he can't come along so I have to take him myself.... I so hate holding him for it..... I am such a whimp.
All good with me. Doni woke up to a nice fathers day present, got him a sports top, Wheels mag, licorice alsorts and a book from DJ called "Just like my dad" he loved it I also cooked him breakfast.... Just wanted him to see what a proper fathers or mothers day should be like without telling him that
DJ has grown so much he is now wearing his 00 two pieces and some 0 bodysuits.... They always look big when you pull them out from draw and then we tried something on him and it fitted and I was like wow, because the Target brand is much bigger than the others out there.
Well girls, hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
