Trina sorry to hear about the ex. I would make sure that he realises that with him being away w/ends etc then he may have to fork out for ccare (you could organise a nanny or au pair for part time care). Does he live close enough to have them during the week so that you get a break?
We've slipped half way down the second page! Can't let that happen. Had a great day at Whiteman Park yesterday with mg. It was so funny, all the bubs stayed on the mat even the one that could crawl properly.
Paddy actually crawled forward today. Only one step though and then he collapses and reaches for what he wants. Lazy little bugger.
Hi There. Jazz is showing signs of crawling forwards although she hasn't actually done it yet. When she's sitting up, she'll lean over onto her hands and get one leg back and she has such determination that she wants to crawl but isn't quite sure.
Last night she was being babysat by some friends while we went to my work Christmas Dinner. The husband was holding her on the ground in a standing position, just barely supporting her bum and nothing else and she took 2 steps practically unaided! Now I'm wondering if she'll start walking before she crawls forwards...it's not unheard of.
Ha ha teach, it took me ages to figure out what you meant by slipping dow the second page now i get it, you wanted to chat!!!
Trina - sorry about the X, what an ahole, will he be away on w/end for business or pleasure???
What about the girls, when do they get to see their Dad?
Bloody typical, no one to help you out and to top it off,no weekends to go out and let your hair down abit. You must be so annoyed.
Where will you move to?
I think that you should get to keep the house... i bet if you went through with a divorce he wouldnt get half (i am assuming that he wants this.) maybe something to look into, not only is he required to pay c/s but there would be maintenance as well... sorry you probably dont need financial advice, but i would hate to see you loose out. He needs to realise that walking away is not so clear cut when their are children involved Especially when it limits your capacity to earn... sorry hun
Lisa - great to hear from you, also so good that you have a great work/home life balance. Its great that it has all worde out for you and great news on the house!
Teach - MJ did that for ages, the one step, grab what she wanted and then be content to stay where she was, TBH sometimes i wish that she was be back there for a while... She is in to everything!!!
She loves the bath, we keep the bathroom door closed, but if it is open, she is off crawling at the speed of light (well a bit slower than that, but you get my meaning lol) towards it and stands at the bath banging on it with a massive smile, she loves watching us shower too...
She doesnt do heaps of crawling anymore, she crawls to something that she can stand up against and will stand for ages, she loves standing at the fridge, at the mirror, on the coffee table and against chairs!!! She cruises around the table now too... im so not ready for her to walk, crawling is hard enough
BRON Where are you and how are you???? its been a while, hope everything is OK
Shell, glad you had a great time, weather was so bad though! Hope things are OK with you.
Danni, bugger about the house, is the roof fixed? Hope your ear is better... for some pain relief, try a wheat bag or hot water bottle against the side of your head, its also good for drainage too
Prama - hows the sleeping going? hope your back is better now... MJ has a cold again so the sleeping has gone out the window again, she sleeps only on me at night now, I wonldnt normally mid, but i have done something to my knee and i am finding walking difficlt and moving/rolling in bed is hard too, een harder when you have a baby that wants to either sleep on top of you or on your pillow... hope she is better soon...
Still no sign of teeth, i think that she is going to be the toothless wonder!!!
Skye - hows the weekend going, hope you have a good time with Anth
Lily - hpe you little one is better now
Right, thats it from me... im off to research sleeping bags and caravans for our holiday over xmas/NYE
Thx SJ he is paying the mortgage and that is all he has to pay apparently so i have to live off what i get from centrelink not doing so well financially can barely pay any bills, luckily he is helping out a bit there but still...... i have a few options for some extra cash so going to start that in the next few weeks
i had a massive scare earlier, summer and paige were in codies room and i heard an almighty crash and heard them both screaming so i ran to the door but something was blocking it so i couldn't get in..... The big heavy mirror behind the door fell down hit the back of the chair that paige was sitting in and then fell on top of summer there was smashed glass everywhere they are lucky they both didn't die summer only had one scratch god it could have been the worst day of my life how lucky am i???? maybe i need a lottery ticket.
i had my hair done last night and GOD it is soooooo blonde i didn't realise until this morning cos it was wet last night. i wasn't expecting it so blonde.
OMG! What a scare. I'm glad they are all ok! I think you should lay down and have a strong drink to calm yourself now!
I caught up with my oldest friend today. We've known eachother since we were 9 years old but lost touch after highschool. This was the first time we'd seen eachother in 8 years and it was as if no time had passed at all! We're gonna make sure we keep in regular contact from now on! She's due to have her 2nd bub in 2 weeks.
Jazzy is still the same as yesterday, wanting to get on the move, talking, into everything!
Roof still has a hole in it with plastic covering it. Someone from the landlords insurance company is coming on Tuesday to assess it, then hopefully it'll get repaired before next weekend!
