Babies Born March 2008 #4

Bron we are going to open a bank account for Flynn too. From what I've read yes you need the birth certificate. My grandfather who was an accountant was suggesting a trust is better cos of interest and how they are taxed differently than regular savings acc. But I haven't looked into it closely yet so I can't say which is better. Sorry, not very helpful

hi girls,

thanks for your wonderful comments about Poopy. DH said the same too, he said tell them he's the perfect size for him.

I'm going to open an acct for him too. Bron - we were told that birth certs will take up to 8 weeks in NSW.
Shell - hope you had a good time.

sorry will do more personals later, we had friends over and im tired.. 1 couple with a 5 and 1.5yr old and another with 7 and 4.
I was telling them how unfair it is that Poopy looks like DH after all my hard work over the 9mths. and one of the girls said that babies look like their father at the start, so that the fathers' know the baby's theirs and they dont walk out. interesting theory, huh.

catch you all later

Morning -

Molly Jane slept from 9pm-5am! i got such a shock when i looked at the time and i feel great this morning.
going to quickly try and do personals before i get called away.

BANK ACCOUNTS - we opened a bank acc for DSS years ago and i didnt have the birth cert - it is in both mine and his name and converst to his at 18... dont know if this helps. Please keep me posted on what u all do as i want an account for Molly that earns high interest... BTW kids accounts shouldnt be taxed at all (or at least they never use to)

PRAMA - dont worry about the comments, people aways have to make a comment of some type, maybe it is a vaildation on their part to make them feel better as your kid is cuter than theirs!!!
I love the theory about looks.

TEACH- thanks for the ear info, Mollys ears stick out a bit (like her dads)... i wouldnt like to do the taping thou, what if i gt it wrong - imagine if your baby wore a hat all the time and you forced them forward LOL that would be what happend to me if i tried to do something!

TRINA - sorry that your kids are driving you mad, it is awful that it has rained everyday. The school hols are different in the states, DSS had his with the easter break - makes this term a long one though.

PAULA - welcome, look forward to getting to know you, glad you told us your first name, as i have a habit of shortening names when i type and i dont think i could bringmyself to write tubby when i was talking to you!!!!

BRON - PMSL chinese writing!!!

DANNI - glad Jazz is OK

Sorry if i forgot anyone that i shoud have commented to.

Been a hectc week, DH dad has been unwell - i think i mentioned it before - anyway on thursday i was asked to go to an appoint with them as i am a nurse and can better explain what the drs say... turns out he has complete heart failure and has been admitted to hossy - in a very bad way, he hasgone down hill very quickly and lost huge amounts of weight, he still possible has lung and prostate cancer, but is so unwell they can not do any biopsys as it would kill him....
On top of that DSS mum is nt coping with life and i am being her support (?????) she went into hospital with an infcted finger over the weekend and i had to explain to her that she needs to keep her pain and discomfort from her son as he does not have the coping skills to deal with her being in tears contnually and being cross at him... she just kept saying that she felt better with him around so wanted him to come to hospital with her honestly what a selfish cow its an infected finger or god sake. we couldnt pick him up straight away as she wanted him to run her a bath, wash her hair for her and then do the dishes and get the washing in so she didnt have to do it. She also told me that he had to do all the cooking and food prep that week - poor kid it breaks my heart
On top of that DH uncle who passed away, his son recently kicked a pretty bad drug habit and is likly to go back to it, so we have been trying to make sue that he is ok, dinner a couple of nights a week and has gone to the factory with DH a couple of times and DH has taught him how to weld... trying to keep his mind occupied

Sorry vent over - i just get a bit low with everything that is going on... DH and i are givers and sometimes i think that we need some time for us...

[prama]

SJ - so sorry to hear that there's so much going on... geez, what does DSS's mum want? A son or a maid? For heaven's sake, he's only a child, poor baby.
Sorry to hear about DH's dad.. it's been one thing after another.. Hope DH is doing ok. xoxox
you're funny! re tubby.

Bron - that's funny!! Neighbours, LOL you're funny, hun.

As Poopy's getting older, he's sleeping longer. He was good yesterday afternoon when we had friends over, only the mums, 2 of them, carried him and he didnt fuss. and he slept from 10ish right up to 7am. i hope all your bubs sleep longer when they get to his age.
But i woke up at 3 cos my boobs were sore, and went back at 3.30. i had to take panadol as im still getting shooting pains/hot needle pains.

trina - the mums yesterday were also on the verge on insanity cos of rain during school hols!

last night for the first time in 2 weeks jazz DID NOT sleep through the night and that was a big shock! She had bad wind. Lately shes been very grissley when shes not being held, shes so clingy and i hope she grows out of this soon.
