I bath Jesse every day usually unless we are out or something is on & we are too busy.
I don't really use anything on him, specially not J&J coz it is sposed to be the worst for drying out their skin & with Bri already having eczema, I don't want to risk it.
The last week or so I have started to use a soap that MIL bought for Bri while the girls were over there. Its 'Natural Selections Moisturising Sorbelene Bar'.
If you are worried about dry skin just sorbelene can be used as a soap as well. Just put it in the bath or whatever.
I'm thinking teeth will be here soon, coz I can sorta see the white line through his gum, but no red cheeks & the diarrhea has stopped. So maybe they have settled for another week or two & will come back to irritate him again.
Prama & Shell - Hope things are heaps better with your hubby's home. (Well almost home Shell!)
Danni - Jazz going backwards is great! Won't take long for her to start going forwards.
Bron - You have warmth? Its supposed to be hotter here & I'm freezing my butt off! Its nice though. There's a really cold wind outside, but I'd say that its just cooled a bit since it rained yesterday & that tomorrow it will be back to sweltering.
Trina, Jo & SJ - Hope you are all well.
Well I just found out that my dad is having surgery on the 4th of November, so he's going to have to come get my stuff earlier than planned. I wasn't planning to go til the 8th. So I think he'll come & get everything on about the 1st. (WOW! That's so close!!)
Then we'll just keep our necessities here while we do the cleaning & stuff. I don't want to leave til the 8th as planned coz its our 2 year wedding anniversary on the 4th. I'd prefer to be here for that, as excited as I am to go.
Sooo, I've got so much more to do now! I better go start really doing stuff. Hopefully Anth will get the stuff he needs out today so I know exactly whats here.
Can't wait til its all done!! I'm so over it already.
poopy has a bath every evening, and we put lots of QV lotion on him.
skye - great to hear that things will get sorted even quicker but sorry to hear your dad has to go for surgery
bron - any more news about your meds?
yes, it's freezing here today!! yikes!
shell - doni should be home now? yaaay!!!!
sj - how was your course? mj must have been overjoyed seeing you.
yesterday morning i had poopy in bed cos he thot 5.30 was a good time to wake up. he was lying next to me, and decided to suck on my cheek, like he would the boob.. boy, it IS painful, it's a very strong suck!!!
and later i noticed i had a hickey on my cheek. hahahahahah
PMSL! These boys learning how to give hickeys so early!!!
My dad & sister are both having surgery. On the same day as far as I know. Dad tore a heap of ligaments, tendons & broke cartlage in his shouder skate bording with his 10 year old nephew!
My sister is having problems with AF. She's already had a laparoscopy, but it found nothing. I'm kinda glad I'll be there for that this time. I won't be so stressed about her.
Today at daycare Jazz moved backwards about 1.5-2 metres! It really upsets her though coz she's trying so hard to reach for something that's in front of her but she gets further and further away from it. It's annoying for us too coz she just cries all the time. FDC lady said she thinks Jazz is about to get another tooth coz her poo is heaps different to normal and she's very fussy. I think I'll trust her intuition - she's had 12 years experience looking after other people's kids and has 3 grown kids of her own.
YAY Doni is home, it was sooooo nice to have him home and good to have a little break as well, we had to go to his brothers place for his wife's birthday so was good for Doni to take over for a bit while I was able to just sit and relax a bit. Still had another bad night with him. He is continually waking at 2am for a feed now..... hmmmmm alot of people have been telling me to put him to bed at around 7'ish coz I normally put him down around 9pm.... But if I put him down at 7'ish then he will just wake at 12am or something, when I have just got to sleep..... I suppose it is worth a try.
What time do your bubba's go to bed? How long are they sleeping?
Re: bath - I have been bathing DJ every second night. When he was sick I was doing it less frequently and just giving him a top and toe wipe down - didn't want him to get a chill. He is having a bath tonight and hopefully Doni will do it for me all depends what time he gets back, he is off to Canberra for the day for work, should hopefully be home by 7 though....
Prama - haha on the hickey on your cheek - cheeky little boy
Danni - if that is the case, then DJ should have had teeth a long time ago.... I hope she is right though. DJ is going through the same thing and his poo's are different. Mind you he was sick last week so might be just from that..... He has been doing big explosive poo's - always have to give him a bath afterwards coz he gets it all up his back, and front.....argh
Skye - hope your dad and sister are ok with their surgery. Not much longer to go now for your big move, you must be soooo excited.
Bron - sounds like it is really hot - we have a miserable rainy day in Sydney, which is supposed to fine up on Thursday Doni and I are heading to the Hunter on Saturday for Jazz in the Vines, weather is supposed to be good, just going to be prepared for rain though since we will have DJ with us
Hey Shell glad doni is home its good to just be able to have some time to yourself
Umm Will goes to bed at 8 - 8.30 and wakes up at 6- 6.30 an donly ever wakes up maybe once or twice a week and just wants his dummy back in. I knwo this wont make you feel any better atm sorry but am sure DJ will get back to sleeping through. They seem to change their routines for a couple of weeks and then back again. I do find that on a coolish night wamrign the bed like sj does with a heat pack helps and I also wrap will and he has slept through this way since he was 12 weeks old and hee also gets a massage with JJ sleep lotion and has done since born. WHo knows mate they are all different I hope you get some better sleep soon.
SO excited I rang centerlink this moring to ask about the gov payment in Dec. SOme of the girls at mg told me that it was paid on percentage of the tax benefit a you get so figured we owuldnt get much. Not the case apparenlty no matter how much or how little you get we get $1000 yay a bit of a helping hand means will be abel to buy hubby a xmas present *L
No meds STILL they had a big meeting with the premier here last week re the clininc I will have the teatment in and he has uaranteed it wont close so thigns may mover forwar dnow.
BTW its bloody freezing here the wind is comign off the snow that fell int he mountains ridiculous weather I have had to put the heaters back on and Will had his tights back on *L*
i think poopy now only wants to sleep in our arms at night. he sleeps well during the day and initially at night. then around 2ish 3, he wakes up and he falls asleep in our arms and wakes up when we put back in his cot.. we tried to let him cry out for a bit but he still doesnt fall asleep. arrrggh
it's so frustrating. will have to try to refuse picking him up.
anyway, i'm off to malaysia for 2.5weeks for diwali (hindu xmas), i havent been back since i moved to oz. hope poopy is good on the flight.
getting ready to go.. talk to you girls tomorrow.
Bron there was a thread on here about that $1000 payment. It ended up being closed as it turned into a huge 'discussion' about how much people make & how unfair it is that some get it & some don't.
If you get any amout of FTB part A you will get $1000 for each child after the 8th of December.
I'm undecided about what to do with mine. I'm keeping it from Anth. I don't want him knowing anyhing about it coz I am not buying him a motor bike & I'm not having him blow the lot.
I'm planning on going to Perth to visit my brother & SIL & the rest I'm planning on putting away.
Its cold here again too. That wind! Its freezing! I hope Jaz is OK. It was out of uniform day today & she only wore shorts & a singlet top. I tried to get a jumper on her, but she has her own ideas.
The little bugger disappeared yesterday. Got off the bus 2 blocks away from home at a friends house!! The stupid bus driver let her!
I went down to the bus stop to wait & when the kids got off one said 'she went with Lydia'.
I didn't know what to do! I looked at the bus driver & he told me the kids name & I just couldn't believe it!!
'& who's that?' I said.
He looked at me like I was dumb & said 'don't you even know who they are'.
You stupid man!! A six year old says I'm going to so & so's house & you just let her. No permission from me!
Then when I rang to say something to the owner of the bus company, I find out that there was a mother in there only the day before about the same thing!
Then they say to me that 'it has to come back on Jaz too'.
WTF!!! Jazmyne is an extemely nieve 6 year old child who doesn't know the town or the people she was going home to! She doesn't understand just how easy it is for something bad to happen to her. Then I find out this morning that there is a man living on that block that they have been trying to run out of town coz he has assulted kids!!!
I assured him that Jaz was grounded, she's not allowed outside to play for a week & told him that she wouldn't be on the bus again.
I'm so glad that next doors DS was on the bus (he's not on often) & that he knew where she got off & that his aunt just happened to be picking him up, so they had a car & went & got her for me straight away.
Anyway. Sorry, vent over.
Jesse the little bugger is going way too far too fast now! He found he front door this morning. & a couple of 10c pieces. He was going into the kitchen last night, but doesn't like touching the lino. It was funny. He's never tried crossing that line before. When he did & realised he was on the lino he lifted up so he was on his hands & feet & cried til I put him back on the carpet!
