hmm i see posts coming in via email but not on the thread....
Evening all,
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.
Sorry for the long post again!!!!!
Hugs. Here's to new beginnings. I hope you all adjust quickly and easily now that your DH has moved out.
trina - :hug: 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 :comfort: hope you are doing ok :hug:
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 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 :hug:
Ah sj:hug: 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! :hug: 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.
:grouphug: seems everyone needs a hug at the mo.
Hi all!
Trina - :hug: 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!!
:hug: 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.
Later guys
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 :hug:
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.
HAPPY FATHER's DAY!!!
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).
Hi girls,
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.
6 months today!!
Still breasfeeding!!
WOOHOO!!!
Happy half birthday my baby!!!!
CONGRATS SKYE!!! WOO HOO JESSE!!!!!!
im so annoyed w BB, i wrote a long post last nite and all i got was a bloody database error.
Yeah, me too Prama. I think the error was for everyone. Bugger it.
Thanks :)
Well, my sister is leaving on Sunday. I'm glad it's on a weekend so I can see her and the family off. I'm going to miss them terribly but she'll be getting the internet ASAP so we can email each other. Right, time to start saving for a holiday to go and visit!
I'm getting 2 carseats from my sis (one for our other car and one that I'm giving my friend so she has one when she babysits Jazz). I'm also getting a bath seat, I've got a reclining one but now Jazz really wants to sit up and she's just about ready to as well. Also my sis is giving us her siamese fighting fish (now we'll have 2). So I'm gonna get another nice fish bowl for it and it can go on the bottom shelf below our other fish. We have to keep them in a glass cupboard so the cat doesn't get to them.
Blooming child care centre said we have to give 2 weeks notice to cancel Friday's. Both Matt & I were really hoping to start her at home with him as of this Friday, but we have to wait 2 weeks.
Danni - You can just keep her home anyway. You'll still have to pay for the next 2 Fridays though.
Jesse had some fish, chips & carrot for dinner tonight, then got some icecream. He loved it!
We got a bed yesterday!!! No more mattress on the floor! Its so good.
Should have my new baby monitor soon too, so I can finally take the porta cot out of my room once & for all. Been keeping it in there for the nights when I'm worried I'm too tired to wake up to him.
Going to the doc tomorrow. I've got like AF pain, but its like a dull pain that comes & goes. Then I've got pain in my lower back all across & on the right side. I think its too far over to be my kidneys & I don't have any other symptoms of a kidney/urine infection. The AF pain is wierd too.
It all started Friday afternoon & hasn't gone away. Panadol & nurofen help, but it takes about an hour to kick in & doesn't seem to last very long.
Anyway. Will let you know how I go.
My brother & SIL are going this weekend too :(
I've gotten to know my next door neighbour the last couple of weeks though & she's lived here her whole life, so I'm starting to get to know more people here.
Anyways. Need a shower to try to relieve this back pain before I go to bed.
Night all.
Danni - thats great news on all the stuff that you are getting :) if the fish go in together do thet fight til one is dead? Thats a bugger about the CC, i would just keep her home, even if you do have to pay, she will be much better of with her Daddy
Skye :cheer: thats so exciting about the bed... when we moved into this place, we had a mattress on the floor, the base was so terrible that it hurt my back, took us nearly 9 mths to get a new one, but it was worth the wait.
Thats weird pain, have you done anything that could have strained your back and its nerve pain?
Is the pain in your rights side of the front too, the AF like pain? Your liver is there... has your wee turned a dark colour lately? The other thing is that it may be refered pain from all the stress that you are under at the moment... you have had a hard time lately , and thats got to take a toll. I hope that you are OK and that you managed a good night sleep :hug: Sorry about your bro moving too
Trina - how are you?
Bron - any news on the meds? how are you feeling??
Shell - glad that you are coping with the work - i wonder if Doni took the hint re the way you are meant to be treated on M/F day???
Well Saturday night i had my first night out drinking as i had expessed loads of milk and Mum and Dad had MJ... she was an angel fed really well and went off to bed in the potacot really well too. DSS was with them and he had a ball ... and i got stuck into the red.
At start i wasrealy good 2 glasses of red and then a massive glass of water then a red and another water and then i gorgot. I think i only had 2 more glasses (spead from 6pm - 11pm) so not oads, but there was bugger all food at the wedding so it took a toll.
In the cab on the way hom i needed to be sick twice... when i got home i was again. we woke up MJ when we got in so i had to heat up some milk for her... i expressed off the milk thta i had in me so that it wouldnt be alcoholic for her, also to relieve the pressure.
Mum rocked her back to sleep - she wouldnt settle for me, i think she new somethig was going on... anyway she sept until 5am and then work up crying, i was going to pick her up, but had to get DH to do it as i was going to be sick agian :doh: when i got back to bed MJ and DH were snuggled in the bed together it was so cute.
Felt pretty average the next morning, but more tired than aanything else.
We had breakfast with my Dad, DSS and MJ gave their dad their home made cards and pressie, then we headed home for a quick change then off to the other side of the city for DH's dads get together... in la porchetta so we had a good meal, MJ chewed the crust of the pizza and was cute to everyone, DSS played with his cousins and i sat and chatted for hours to SIL... it was a good day, but by the time we got home we were buggered... we had dip and chips for dinner and a banana smoothy and both DH and I crashed out on the couch.
TBH drinking is not all that its cracked up to be, i am quite happy to contnue BF and forgo that - better for me too
have a good day girls, sorry for the novel
OH and happy 1/2 birthday for Jazz and Jesse, sorry i missed it
Yes, if we put the fish in together they will fight to the death. Also if we keep their bowls too close together they might bash themselves against the glass so we'll be keeping them far away from eachother.
We wont keep her home for those 2 friday's. The CC is expensive so I want to get my moneies worth.
Jazz gave me quite a fright at 4am. She was coughing heaps so I thought I'd better go in and check on her. I went into her room to find that she'd pulled the blanket over her head and was struggling to breathe which woke her up. She's fine now but man did it scare the crap out of me!
Lol - Danni, my sister had one of those fish & it committed suicide! (Thats how she put it)
She went to work one day & came home to her fish laying on the table about a foot away from his bowl!
SJ, yeah the pain is at the front too, but at the back its constant, at the front it comes & goes. No my wee hasn't changed colour. No darker than usual. The tops of my legs ache too, the same as if I had AF.
Oh Skye, i hope that u are feeling better soon... Have you had your AF yet? it couldnt just be that... or thinking on the other side of that, is there any way that you could be ... gulp... pg?
I hope you are feeling better now
Hey girls,
Just a quick one, sooooo exhausted...... worked today and it was great to get a break.... DJ is not sleeping well. From 2am sometimes or 3am he is just whinging for rest of morning..... arghhhh I normally just give him a feed and he only takes 80ml, so this morning I thought I would just try putting his dummy in his mouth but 30 mins later he woke again, then I tried Infants Friend which normally helps but it worked for 30 mins again and then Doni got up and fed him for me and he took 100ml and went back to sleep only to wake up 40 mins later hungry so I fed him the rest of the bottle since it was under an hour. But I was just so exhausted at work..... I had such a busy day as well.... and then to top off my morning I pulled up to my stepmums place and she didn't know she was looking after DJ today and thought my mum was..... but my mum works full time and she just happened to have last week Tuesday off from work. Then it took me 40 mins to get from there to work. Now I am thinking I will just put him in childcare close to work so it is on my way to work and not out of my way. It will just save me time and I won't have to pack the bouncer, portacot etc... arghhhh i am just exhausted. Havign a glass of red wine, headache.....
I thought DJ's sleep problems might be from teething but there is just no sign of teeth coming through, he has been teething for 2.5 months now but no redness in gums etc. Just the usual drooling. red cheeks etc.....
Sorry I can't post much more.
Prama - it was great to catch-up yesterday - Poopy is soooo adorable just like his pics :) Will have to catch-up again in a few weeks time.
Shell xxx
Doc thinks its a kidney infection. I was expecting a pg test, but he didn't think it necessary. I like that idea.
I did do a urine test & there was blood & white cells in it.
Going for u/s tomorrow to check for kidney stones.
going to try to do personals today.
poopy's restless and i hurt my left leg..
danni - so sorry to hear your sister is leaving this weekend. it will be hard.. hopefully you can go see her sometime or she'll be able to come back soon.
skye - oh no.. im so sorry.. can they give you some anti-biotics? oh hugs :hug:
sj - oh hope you feel better xoxoxo. sorry it was all yucky :(
shell - sorry about your day... it's hard when they dont sleep. the mchn said this happens hwen they hit a development milestone.
it was really good catching up yesterday, you look so good, and dj's soo tall!
i didnt end up going to woollies cos lakshman started to really cry and everyone was looking and it was hard waiting for the lift. i turned the pram around and around and around, and then silence, he was fast asleep.
looking fwd to our next meet.
sorry for the short messges.
i ahve to go to my dermatologist tom for my lupus check-up, then mother's group. my leg feels like ive pulled something.. ithink must be after my osteo check-up. something must have triggered it.
giong to bed.. :(
not a good day for us
oh
CAUTION:
1. DO NOT FEED CHILD BEETROOT WHEN CHILD IS WEARING WHITE
2. DO NOT FEED CHILD BEETROOT AND PUT HIM/HER DOWN ON MAT/CARPET, THEY MIGHT CHUCK UP BEETROOT ON MAT/CARPET
yup, that's what happened today!
Oh Prama Lol!
Beetroot is lovely isn't it!
I can't stand the stuff, so I don't have to worry!
vfvyt bu8mhybbnt6q2 - thats a hello from Jesse!
LOL Prama.
I found out that CC gives baby yoghert for morning tea. I asked them not to because I want to be the first to give Jazz a product with cows milk in it. I had brought with me a tin of apples and custard, then I read the ingredients and saw it had full cream milk, so I told them not to give that to her either. So, she is going without morning tea because I'm too picky. She'll probably eat heaps of lunch though.
I got Matt to get some bananas last night. I'm gonna try giving Jazz a whole piece to hold/moosh and hopefully eat.
Did I tell you we gave her a couple of hot chips (that we obviously cooled down). She bit a piece off one chip and chewed and chewed and then swallowed and pulled a funny face but then laughed once it went down. The second chip she sucked all the potato out of. I find at the moment when we give her something like a rusk or other finger food, we sometimes have to actually push her hand with the food into her mouth so she gets the message that she's allowed to put it in her mouth. Poor kid is probably getting confused coz we are also trying to teach her that fingers don't go in the mouth.
The finger thing is a hard one danni as its developmentally approriate for jazz to put her hands in her mouth its how she learns about everything and she will put everything including her food in her mouth providing she isnt going to choke its ok. Funny you know bannana is one food that Will hates and yet its one of the fruits they suggest you try first becasue it mushes up so well. This week we have moved onto pasta,chicken gravy and zuchini. WIll loves the babys first yoghurt with a little farex mixed in as he doesnt like runny food he really likes to have a chew...
I am STILL waiting on drugs..they have reduced my steroids and each time they do the count halves itself and I am back down to under 100. Keep you fingers crossed for me that it happens this week.
I know the fingers in mouth is developmentally good but I do try and stop it when she is just sucking on her fingers/thumb. I don't want her to develop the habit. Although, I do put a dummy in her mouth - I know that one day that will be a habit I'll have to break but hopefully she wont be used to substituting the dummy for fingers then. I don't want to break the habit of the dummy only to find she sucks her thumb in its place. I know someone who as a child sucked her finger until she had been in school for a few years, I think she was 7 or 8 before she stopped completely. I don't want Jazz to be like that.
BTW: the army changed things again with my sis & BIL and now they aren't going until next Thurs. They are annoyed coz the army keeps stuffing things up and delaying things.
No offence Danni, but i think that it is worse for a baby to be reliant on a dummy that their own fingers.
Children often grow out of sucking fingers on their own and it is unusual that they would carry on that late... often parents find that in removing the dummy the baby will suck something else (like fingers)
MJ sucks her fingers or thumb to sleep, she learnt to self settle this way and there is no need for me to get out of bed to resettle as she knows how to do it herself.
Dummys are also bad for teeth - fingers go in mouths less when teeth arrive as they hurt, where as children can chew and chew dummys...
DSS had a dummy and i vowed never to use on with MJ
Each to their own thou
Off the see the CMHN for a weigh and measure... looking forward to seeing her progress... bbl
Darn. my post didn't work.
https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...y-give-up.html
Just thought I'd share that with you guys.
Thanks
Oh Skye. I read your post and don't know what to say. I'm thinking of you though.
Jazz got accidentally hit in the eye by one of the other children at the CC who wanted to give her a hug but missed. I don't know if it's gonna come up bruised at all but it's a slight black (well, red) eye and a scratch on her cheek bone too. When I walked in the door and Matt saw Jazz's eye he said right that's it. We're taking her out of the CC altogether! So he's now going to have her on Wednesdays & Fridays and I'm going to give them notice in writing when I go in on Friday to drop her off. He was so upset by her eye he started saying "I'm not paying them anything (we owe them about $200 now) and then he's like "I'm gonna sue them" so I just said "if you wanna deal with all that then you ring them and tell them. Kids are kids and accidents happen all the time" They did give the kid a time out. They didn't do an incident report though (or if they did, I haven't seen it). I wonder if they are meant to? I will have to ask.
Danni - i am pretty sure that they should do an incident report and have you sign it to day that you have been informed... You are right kids will get hurt, but when they are still so young it hard to swallow.
Poor Jazz, i hope she doesnt bruise
Skye - off to read your post now...... I have posted in the thread but just wanting you to know again that you are doing a fantastic job :hug:
Prama - sorry that you are not doing so good atm... is your lupus playing up and making you down or the PND affecting the lumpus.. or neither, both have just decided to make you feel crappy.
Im sorry, adapting back to life at home with no family around for you must be so hard (even though there is no one to critisise you now) and you are doing it by yoursef again.
I hope that you are starting to sort things out, please take care of yourself.. know i cant say anything to help really, but im here for you if you need me and i think that you are wonderful.
Bron - im thinking f you heaps and hoping that the powers that be get off their preverbal ar$es and get you the meds before your count drops any further... really whats the hold up? do you need to be hospitalised before they do something, oh it makes me mad... Im sorry you must be feeling awful at the moment. sending you good vibes and health :hug:
Trina - You OK? How are the girls doing?
Shell - you must be buggered working and doing all that driving... how annoying lugging all the equioment around to different houses
No real news from me, been out for dinner with the girls from work
Hugs to you all, sounds like they are needed all round :hug:
ARRRGGGG F*CK
my 3rd long post and bloody Belly belly errors..
i wrote everyone a long post and it's gone..
im so angry!
Buggar prama this site really annoys me like that sometimes..I have taken to copying what I have written before I hit submit becasue its happened ot me a few times to.
How you doing? you have been on my mind a lot
Danni SJ is right there should have been an incident report and you should have have been asked to sign the copy that stays in the centre and and gotten yor own copy to tak ehome. The centre is required bylaw to keep any records of your child until get this..they are 21 years old!!! GO back and ask for one. Poor Matt it is often the dads that get more upset about things that happen at childcare and yeah your right accidents do happen and it wont be jazz's last either. Sickness and bumps and scrapes that happen not only at childcare but a thome too its just seems worse when the kids arent in your care.If supervision at theentre isnt what you should think it should be then care might not be the place for Jazz. She does sound like has been enjoying it though.SJ is right it doesnt make it easy to swallow when they are so young though but its part of life I do hope Jazz is ok.
Trina hows things?
Skye hun
:hug: hang in there am sorry you are feeling this way atm you are doing such a great job you just need some good things for you wish I was closer to do some girly things with you
bron -
I normally copy my posts. But yesterday esp. I could post on one thread with no problems, and then go to another thread and get a token error. It was just random, didnt seem to be consistent error..........
danni - yeah, they MUST fill an incident report.
yoghurt is good for babies, as it has more calcium than normal milk. it's not cow's milk per se, just like formula.
but of cos if you dont want to give jazz yoghurt, you have every right not too.
im going to see the osteo today, i feel like i pulled a groin muscle. have been in so much pain, can hardly walk, it was so hard picking up poopy, changing him etc.
Prama our poor bodies are taking a battering huh we put them in such awkward positions to handles these wriggly babies..hope its ok.
Will loves yoghurt but only if I put some farex or weetbix in it *L he doesnt like runny food for some reason weird huh
Well, I spoke to the director of the CC today and sent her an email advising we are ceasing all care for Jazz effective immediately. I know we still have to pay for this coming fortnight but Matt said she's not going anymore at all, not even for the fortnight we are paying for. So he's got her every Wed & Fri starting tomorrow. (Although he was half asleep when he said this so I wonder if he'll remember) LOL.
I have asked the director to send me the bank details so we can do EFT for the money we owe. When she replies to that I'll ask her about an incident report for Wednesday. Thankfully Jazz's eye looks fine today, maybe slightly bruised if you look really closely but it just looks a bit like a tired bag under one eye rather than a bruise.
I feel kind of bad for taking her out of care, but it's becoming too much of a financial burden for us and also we feel there is no comparison with FDC. In my experience a CC is a business, they run it like a business in that they charge a fortune and have the least amount of staff they can legally have. I find that the child:carer ratio in cc is not suitable for a baby as young as Jazz. At FDC (well, at our FDC) it's run like what it is, a caring, loving home environment where the carer and her family genuinely love and care for the children like their own. There are only a max of 4 children in the home at any one time and even though it's only the wife who is the carer, her husband can assist as well but mainly does this with their own grandson who they look after most days. We have really started a good friendship with the carer and always feel welcome in her home.
Sorry for my long post. Prama, due to regular problems like you experienced, when I have written a long post, I always copy it before hitting the post button just in case so that if there is an error I can just paste it and try again.
Hi all.
First things first :grouphug:
Thankyou all for your support. I'm so lucky to have you all.
Danni - I have a friend who had her DD in FDC for about 18 months. It was onle 1 day a week to start, then everyday when she worked & they are really good friends.
My friend & her family moved up to Brisbane at the end of last year & when they came back for the last holidays at her mum's the FDC lady was there waiting for them!
Her DD misses her like mad & thinks of her as like a sub Nan. Its cute.
I just found out there's a pre school here for free. Its run through the public school, I might go see them when Bri's feeling better & find out more about it. I'm not sure how it'd work when we don't use the public school. Bri will be going to the Catholic school here, so will have to find out if its still free.
Might ask about the FDC thats run through the DC centre across the road. I think I'll get both the little ones in somewhere 2 days a week & go start looking into TAFE.
Hope we are all feeling better soon.
