[Catastrophic]

Hey,
How are you all sorry i been MIA for a while its been mayhem here. Just with kids getting the flu then i got it really bad. It sucked i went through 1 1/2boxes of tissues. . . And so many panadol - still not fully over it, but almost.

Izzy had her needles the other day, there was ment to be three, but they ran out of one of them so only got two... Izzy screamed the most horrible scream but when it was over she just gave me pick cuddles and sobbed in my arms a little... then the nurse walked out, and when she walked back in - Izzy yelled something really horrible in baby language at her! It was so funny!

Hey Cass, Izzy is the same weight as Oskar 10.1kg, length 77cm, head 46cm, they are almost in unison! hehe so cute.. .

Sorry i havent done personals for everyone, these kids are driving me insane and i really need to take the 3yop to kindy (i know that sounds horrible) but he is so naughty today - well actually any day he is left with me, and if i tell him to behave he turns around and says your not my mum you cant tell me what to do~ Soooo hard!!

Sorry bye !

Karina - bummer bout all the appliences! You aren't having much luck with all things electrical ? Ari smacks me in the chest and yells boobie with sounds like bubby which is funny but I'm lucky that she doesn't ask much when we are out and about unless she is over tired.

Cass-blob - hoping your all feling better and only 5 more days till school goes back! Hooray :-)

Ali - good to hear your all settled in

I booked into surgery to have my Gall Bladder removed next week (wednesday)! Yipee!
Although getting terrified now! And i've never left Izzy for a whole night before

Rachel.. big woohoo for Grace!! They look so cute when they first start walking. There's a few bubs in our mother's group who've just recently started walking, I love it. I'm not worried that Oskar isn't interested too much yet, cos then he'll be harder to catch!! lol.

Sarah, we're still BFing too. Oskar isn't about to give it up I can tell you that much now! I've had comments from way back when he was getting teeth... like, you'll have to give up now and I'm like.. ummm why?? biting?? ummm nope. Now it's, oh you're a big boy now you're one... well you know what, he likes it, I like it and it works for us.

Cass, all the best hun, I hope that it goes well for you. Iz should be fine oh and step kids can be a little nastly like that... I was adopted and remember saying that to my mum!

Karina, how totally annoying!! It's always something you can't live without too!

Oskar has had a bit of a rough week, had a temp up and down on Sun, doc on Monday and shows he has a really red throat, so onto the antibiotics as he had throat infection a few months ago too. Well, Monday night, OMG I think I had like 2 hours sleep (worse than a newborn it was) and poor Oskar would wake up crying and wouldn't settle... didn't even want boob!!! Now, there's something really wrong if that's the case. So at 3:30am I was soooo close to taking him to the hospital or calling the ambulance except that I didn't want to be left sitting up there for like 5 hours like last time before they see you and also the cold night air.. I thought I would keep an eye on him (he still sleeps in our room in his cot next to my side of the bed) and then I could at least doze for a few mins and lay down. His breathing wasn't sounding the best and he'd started to cough that awful seal barking sound... and I thought crap he's got croup or something I reckon. So, he threw up his brekky and I thought right we're going back to the doc's and sure enough poor little fella has had croup. He's a lot better now and after his first dose of medicine Tues arvo he slept right through (mind you it took about 2 hours to get him to sleep, I think he was sooooo overtired from not sleeping the night before that he just kept working himself up)... anyway, all seems to be good now thank god! I hate that sound when they cough and struggle to breath cos they're so upset on top of it.

Hi everyone,
Just thought id say hi.

Em had her needles last thursday and was very brave, nothing for the first, cried a little for the second and a little more for the third but then was laughing in the waiting room!
She's walking a little better now and talks non stop, i love to watch her looking at her books or playing with things, shes so cute! (as they all are!)

CassBlob - Hope everything goes well with the op.

Ozziehoffy - I hope Oskar gets better, poor little man. Its so hard when they're this little and they cant tell you whats wrong.

Aww Cass, poor little Oskar! Claire had croup last week. So sad when theyre sick like that and they get upset about it, then the coughing gets worse. We went to the hospital and they saw us straight away (no one else was waiting, but they said they would have seen us straight away anyway, because its a small child). Of course, once we got to the hospital she just wanted to play. Good to hear Oskars much better now.

Cassblob, hope the op goes well. My mum is getting her gall bladder out in about 2 weeks as its been causing her issues too. I'm sure you'll feel so much better once its gone.

Claire had ner needles. First one she didnt react, the second one she made a little cry and the third one she was NOT HAPPY! But she got over it pretty quickly and was happy by the time we were out of the doctors surgery.

We got our new washing machine delivered today. Its very nice and I can finally wash all claires nappies and our clothes! I just have to store my old washing machine for the next 5 weeks until the council cleanup happens and I can put it out on the side of the road.

We are struggling to get Claire to eat at the moment. Only things she will eat are: yoghurt, cheese (has to be shredded tasty cheese), rice and pasta (has to be plain otherwise she wont touch it) and sometimes apple. Argh driving me insane! She used to love banana but now she wont eat it.

Hi all!

Well, we finally had Emy's party today, combined with our house warming party, and it was good! We all had heaps of fun, and now there is waaaaaaaaaay too much food! One of the girls from work came with her 6 weeks old baby, and I haven't seen him since he was 2 days old, and he made me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo clucky!

Anyway, I am completely knackered now, and maybe a little drunk, so I'm gonna go.

Cass, I hope that Oscar gets better soon!
