Hi Girls, sorry for the silence, i dont seem to have had a moment free lately, well i have caught up on whats been going on when i express at 4am (ahhhhh) but too hard to write at that time!
Going to have to make this quick as gotta go out shortly so i am sorry if i forget something/one
Prama - sorry that you are so low at the moment, it is hard with Steve going away and you not being able to come, you can do it though, you are a fantastic Mummy and lakshman is so lucky to have you.
Skye suggestions are good, is there something that you are 'into' or could you go to spotlight and get a sewing project r knitting crocetting??? something to challange you in the evenings and maybe learn a new sill... i have just bought a crochet pattern and wool (i dont know how to crochet) and have looked up on the internet how to get started and am hoping to make something, give me something other to do than watch TV that makes me lonely.
Shell, I hope DJ is feeling much better, sounds like e is having a it of a rough time lately
Danni - so cute on the kisses, MJ has been doing that for a while, she loves to do it on shoulders or knees as that way she gets a good seal and ends it in a raspberry - its so funny!
Cool that you are going to be an aunty again, will you get up to see your sister when she is pg?
Skye - i am so happy that things are moving forward for you and that you are getting a bit of assistance, sounds like you need to get out of there, and being in a bigger town/area will mean that there is more additional support/assistance for you - how is Jaz doing lately???
Jo - great to hear from you, we will have to catch up again soon, Caitlin looks adorable, thanks for the tip also on the carbs at night, i have made sure that MJ gets a bit more carbs in the evening and she is sleeping better now.... still waking once, but i think that it is a bit of sep anxiety as, as soon as one of us goes in and pics her up she is fast asleep again, think she just wants to know that we are still there...
Trina - wow you are getting on that horse a lot - i am so jealous, i wish i had an outlet like that (just wish i had a horse again really ) Sounds like summy is a handfull, as much as i wat MJ to crawl i am happy that she is not yet ready! she is haking tentitive movve forwards but thats it for now
She is pulling herself to a stand in her bath now, its so funny and she thinks that she is so clever, scared the sh*t out of me the first time though...
How did the girls go camping?
MJ is now clapping (started yesterday) gets her palms together most times... she is also sort of waking, which is really cute.
Oh and if we hold her legs down she will do a sit up and then move her legs so thats she stays sitting... she is so strong!
She 'dances' in time to music too, shaking and nodding her head and rocking her body, it is sooo cute it makes me laugh.
Bron - hope you are OK and the bogans didnt drive you to bonkers! How are you feeling?
My course starts thursday and mum is coming to ppick MJ up and i wont see her til saturday arvo i am really looking forward to the course but i am going to miss her soooooo much... DH is also starting a massive job and will not be around much this week (leaving early and home probably between 9-12 each night) it goes for a few weeks so wont see him much at all.
Staying in the sity on Thursday and friday night as it will be easier for the course, My sister is doing it too, so may have a couple of drinksone evening.
I have been a milking cow lately, Mum needed 4L of milk for the course (1.25L + /day thursday, fri sat) and what i express during the cousre will be for DH when he looks after MJ on Sunday.
Its going to be a full on week
Right i will leave it at that... sorry its so long, sorry also if forgot anything
Take care
Oh forgot to say - got free ticks to the nickelodeon Kids choice awards and took DSS and MJ on Staurday... DSS got to meet Rove and the kids from are you smarter than a 5th grader! there where heaps of celebs there it was great and MJ was soooooooooooooooooo good, she didnt cry once and there was so much screaming and yelling and noise... we even managed a full BF (and for thiose that are still BF will know how distracted they get and they pull loads) without hurting me or puling off a million times. Bought a hug-a-bub and it was brilliant, so comfortable, wish i had got it earlier, wore her facing front and back and it was great....

: forgot something
DJ is getting better, going to take him back to the doctors though I think his cough seems a bit chesty but I thought that last week and the doctor said it wasn't...... and now I am sick (yes sick once again!!!!) arghhhhh so sick of being sick. And Doni left this morning and is away for 7 nights which is the longest time he has ever been away. Not sure how I will cope, but mum said she will pop over when she can.
SJ - good luck for your course, sounds like it is something you really want to do and how cute is MJ she is growing so quick. Don't you just wish we could all meet-up in person so we can all meet our little babies?
Prama - yeah husbandless this week grrrrr not happy either. It must be hard for you not having your family here. Could any of your friends pop over for a few hours and give you a bit of a break? Mum is hoping to pop over tomorrow night for me but only for a few hours, but that will be great in itself so I can just have some me time especially since I will be at work tomorrow. arghhhh going to be a tough week with no Doni, and I am sick and work this week arghhhhh DJ only has a small cough now so hopefully he will be right for daycare tomorrow. Going to take him docs though to see what they think..... I can't take time off from work but I will probably just leave work early tomorrow.
Bron/Trina - yeah I have had DJ forward facing for a week now. He is 8.25kg and was 8kg when we turned him. He didn't know what to do at first but loves it. I was told they could be turned at 8kg as well
Skye - the house sounds great and if an investor buys it they may want to rent it out so you may have a longer lease than the 6 months. Most investors would prefer to rent out properties
Everyone else, hope you are well, I don't have the energy to do anymore personals. Need to blow my nose and rest up.
skye - i do play solitare on the pc, but have no idea what That's Life & Take 5 are
sj - thanks for your kind words.., i dont know how to crochet but always wanted to learn. i think i will do my journal, part of my meditation class, i have to write up on my awareness of things around me and my actions. ive been procrastinating. but tonight, im going to cook up a batch of poopy's food for the next few days. im just cooking a big batch of curry for myself.
do you have to go away for your course? it's hard to go away for so many days
any chance if it's not too far away, dh can bring her over for a visit?
shell - sorry didnt confirm about today.. i was just too tired.
so glad that dj is heaps better, hope you get better too...
most of my friends live too far away... im having lunch w steve mum tomorrow and thursday so it will help.. wed is mother's group.. friday, i think i'll have to start packing. good thing im such a lazy unpacker most of our clothes are still in the bag.
the nights are hard, huh...
poopy did something amazing... he was so tired he went to bed at 6.15pm, grizzled a bit here and there but didnt really wake up till 6am when he did a big grizzle when i went to check on him. have him the boob and he went back to sleep till 7.. he's never done that!!!
of cos i didnt sleep well cos i kept getting up to check on him every hour cos he'd normally wake up in the middle of the night.
oh well, that was a great sleep for him.. dont expect a repeat tonight!!
oh yes, poopy's forward facing now, he's almost 8kgs but we decided we should cos he was gettig too big for the capsule. he loves it.. he can see heaps and he looks like a big boy. and im happy cos i can look at him and the sun isnt in his face...
Prama - That's Life & Take 5 are magazines.
Not the usual trashy mags. They are about real people & thair stories.
They won't be hard to find, but they can be hard to put down.
They have puzzle pages inside & an entry form. You do all the puzzles, put all the answers on the form & send it in & you can win heaps of prizes too.
Went to doctors and DJ has a mild bronchilitis and needs the asthma puffer, but with the use of a spacer and mask of course.... poor little darling..... looks like he will have asthma like me. Mine is pretty mild, not too bad, so hopefully his is just like mine only comes around when sick. He is still pretty happy and cheerful though, so that is a good sign. I got a pill prescription finally too so once aunt flow arrives I will be back on the pill again.
Prama - oh wow on the big 12 hour sleep hope he will do that for you this week while Steve is away that is great you will be seeing Steve's mum tomorrow it will be a nice break for you. But yeah the nights are very hard that is for sure. I am hoping DJ's bronchilitis don't cause him to wake up too much tonight because I have work tomorrow arghhhh so fingers crossed. I had to wash the spacer and mask before using it on him, so hopefully it will be dry shortly. Can't use towels or anything to dry it. Hopefully that will help so he isn't wheezing...
I better go got to start getting stuff organised for tomorrow.
oh shell - poor little dj, i really hope he sleeps thru tonight.. poor darling bubba.. it must be bothering him....
if im drying stuff, and dont want to use a towel, i use the hair dryer, could you try that for spacer and mask?
i guess it's a bit of a catch 22, it's hard for you if dj doesnt sleep well, and you have to go to work. and it's really hard to concentrate at work when you're buggered.
Thanks Prama, it dried on time. He is really sleepy after each time I use it and it makes him unsettled. A friend of mine said their little girl had to go through the same thing and they get used it it, it is just different for them and they get used to the feeling of it etc..... I do hope he sleeps well tonight, otherwise I will just have to have alot of coffee at work tomorrow haha One positive is the wheezing in his breathing has settled down a bit YAY
