bec7: that sounds good wiht the swiming lessons. i wanna start jayda but the closet pool is gettin a face lift at the mo it has been closed for 2 swim seasons so far and doesnt look like it will be open for this one. the next pool is 45 min away.
jayda doesnt seem to like the farex. i got some jars of food a garden vegie one and she loved it.
im gonna go ill be back tomorrow for more i am too tired.
DD is booked for her 4 month needles of friday. Once she gets these done were off to get her ears pierced.i have decided to get them done early as to avoid her touching them and also avoid infections. i'm getting another set done aswell i think. Kinda to go through what she is.
Yesterday we had dinner at MIL for my BIL's B'day. DS was running wild and DD was cring the whole time except while i was holding her. She was great during dinner thou... watching so many people eating she was smacking her lips together and getting excited. MIL kept saying "i'll blend some up for her to eat but were not feeding her that stuff yet. Just sticking with the few little spoons of the farex with the EBM and thats it until she's a little older My GP said to start on the rice as she could get constipated and i have already found she's pooping more regular now with the small feeds here and there. I dont do them daily but every few days is a nice treat for her. I also brought some teething rusks (the box said 6 months) but she's chewing everytihing and i remembered how hard they were. Anyways she LOVES them she cant chew all the way throu but she sucks on them for ages and chomps. I didnt think she would get any loose but she did. She doesnt like it so spits it out but loves to chew on something with a bit of taste. I Just watch her closely JIC.
We got a GR8 nite sleep went to bed at 8 and slept til 6 this morning. I picked her up straight away before she cried and she fed in bed and went back to sleep... WOOO HOOO... But i woke up with massive Baywatch boobs. i fed from 1 side and just expressed from the other.
Mecil- Great to see u back here. COngrats on the block of land. And WOW at being back at work full time. Glad Zali is doing well.
Bec*- Hope Macey is doing well. i was a chocoholic but have cut down on it and the dreaded coke. I hate diets seems like i have been on diets my whole life. i do need to shif the weight. I havent lost any yet... well i did after bubs but not since. probably gained weight... too scared to jump on the scales.
Bec7- Icongrats on the swimming lessons. i did them with my DS he loved the water but unfortunatly DD hates it. so i'll start her later on. Good luck with Cam's needles.
Best be off Little miss just woke up... an extra hour and a half wasnt too bad
OMG, we had another night of no wake up's... (touchwood it stays this way for a while so i can get some sleep.
Also What do i do my DD has worked out that she can..ah hem... touch herself. Everytime i take the nappy off she's straight down there. do i aavoide no nappy time now or do i tell her "No". I know my son did this but i thought it was a boy thing.

Jayda slept through last night too YAY. hope this means they r at that time lol.
parents turning up soon ill be back a bit later
Morning
Well what a time we have had. Where do i start.
Friday morning we packed up the car etc, it was so chockers. We headed off mid morning and as much as i tried to get going straight after i fed hamish it didnt work that way but anyway it worked out ok. We drove for about an hour and half, hamish slept most of the time then we stopped for a toilet stop and i fed him. Back in the car he slept the next 2 hours arrived at dp's grandparents place. We stayed there for the day and he was very well behaved. Dp's pa is very ill so i was suprised when Hamish was on the floor having a kick he decided to join him. Dragging his oxygen tank over and laying on the floor beside him, it was a moment i think dp will always remember. We left there place around dinner time and back in the car for another hour to dp's brother and sil place. They live on a huge property with a beautiful new 2 storey mansion, they have no children as yet just animals. Omg when i entered the house i was shocked and disappointed, all you could smell were cats (yuck). Anyway we went to sit in lounge room but i couldnt put hamish down any where not even on couch, there was cat hair everywhere and house smelt like cat pee. They had two dogs inside, gorgeous, friendly dogs but they had not been around children before so they were very inquisitive with hamish. I think i nearly spent the whole time up stairs in bedroom as it was the only place the animals where not alowed, so i had somewhere to put ds down for a play, but as we never took monitor with us i had to stay with him entire time. That night was not too bad, it was ds first time in a porta cot so i was a little concerned how he would sleep, he woke once at 2 then 6 so it was ok, i only wish i has slept that long, with all the animal hair i had really bad hayfever and could not sleep. It was good for dp to spend sometime with his family but it was disappointing they were not very accomodating with us. We had breakfast with his parents and then lunchtime we headed back towards the city for the night. Omg was the motel room a nightmare, i booked a one bedroom apartment where the bedroom was suppose to seperate from the lound so ds would sleep in the lounge but instead we had a studio which was all one room. Ds was not a happy boy the whole time we where there, he never slept longer than 2 hours at a time, by 6 am i was exhausted and i said can we just go home today, lucky he was thinking the same thing, so we had breakfast with my sister and met friends for lunch before heading home. Hamish was so good travelling in the car but just a nightmare to sleep in porta cot, i even tried him in bed with us but he was so unsettled. When we got home he was a different baby, slept from 8.30 til 6.30 this morning and is back in bed now. I dont think i will be in a hurry to go away again. It was great to see everyone but with being away and not getting any sleep i was becoming grumpy and irritable so i am glad to be home. Dp mentioned this morning he was glad we came home a day early as he started back at work this morning and yesterday we just relaxed around home so he felt like he needed that day at home after travelling. I think i have vented enough now. Sorry it turned into a bit of a whinge. I hope everyone is well, i will get back later hopefully for personal. Hamish has his needles tomorrow yuck. I am looking forward to finding out how much he weighs etc now, as it has been a month since we have been to mchn. Ok best do some washing.
I will try to make this one a quick one, as we are going out soon (to mothers group).
Abb - sorry to hear your break away turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. Some people have no idea when it comes to childen do they. Even if they don't have childen, it's just common sense to have a clean house for babies (or for houseguests for that matter - I know I clean the house big time if I know someone is coming to stay, childen or not). Good luck for your DS's needles todmorrow.
Sassy - Yay on the sleep through. It is a great feeling to wake up when the sun come ups instead of 1 or 2 times during the night. Are you doing a parents group at your house?
Jess - I don't think it would be a major problem with her touching herself. Cameron has also started to do this in the last week, really grabs himself too, i figure if it was hurting he would stop. I guess they are just learning there body, and possibly the more you make a big deal of it, the more likely they are to keep wanting to touch (because they get a reaction when they do it). Cameron is also trying to grab his feet, it's quite funny to watch the positions he gets into. Good luck also for your needles on Friday. And hope all goes well with the earrings. I was watching Friends last night and for some strange reason I thought of you when the sister got Emma's ears pierced without Rachel and Ross knowing. I think little girls look cute with there ears pierced. Also a Yay to you having a few nights of sleep through. How did she go last night?
Cameron had his needle yesterday. He was fine. I was the bigger sook, I was starting to get teary before they even had the needle ready. As DH also had appointment with Dr, and me being a big sook, I ended up going into the next room for when they gabbed him. I heard him scream, but it was nowhere near as big as last time. They then brought him into me, and he just gave me big cuddles and sucked on my shirt. It was soaked by the time we left, DH pointed it out, and I was like "he can do whatever he likes", he was such a good boy. Didn't even shed a tear himself. Thought it might have effected his sleep, but no difference, he still slept from 8.30 til 7 this morning.
Well better go finish getting ready. Have a good day everyone.
Bye for now
(that was close - lucky i copied this post, computer when funny when went to submit)
heyheyhey!
How is everyone? We had a very disrupted weekend, as DP likes to go out and do things as a family, and cram in as much as possible, but it just throws our routine out the window! Yeh, still... It was nice to get so much done around the house and also go out to a festival and do all sorts of things, but by the time DS has missed his second nap for the day, he's just grumpy and impossible to get settled at night. Of course, DP still can't understand why he wont sleep on weekends... argh! Anyway, by Monday everything's back to normal and DS had an extra-long sleep during the day.
Even though he's been sick, DS is so happy. I wish he wouldn't keep smiling at random strangers tho, coz it's like an invitation for weirdos to talk to me, and touch him, and I HATE that! Do any of you have that problem? How do you tell some random loony that yes, he's cute, but I don't know where your hands have been so don't touch him! It was bad enough people wanting to touch my belly when I was pregnant... It's getting to the point where I dont want to take him out in the pram because at least when he's in the sling people are a bit more hesitant about coming that close... (except for a couple of super-screechy feral women at the market the other day, they were getting right up in my face and I was about ready to slap one of them. Luckily Aadi decided to chuck right at that moment! Perfect... ) But he's just getting too heavy now. I've adjusted and re-made my sling, but I can still only carry him in it for an hour or two at a time. I shouldn't have to break my back because people have no manners!
Sass - WTG on the weight loss! That's awesome! How's it going with Jayda having solids now? I've been putting Aadi in the highchair for a while now, just occasionally, but it's been packed up until yesterday. He's decided now he prefers lying down to play, and pushes himself down when I sit him up. Funny how last week he wanted to be sitting up all the time, but not anymore... easier to kick things from lying down, I guess?
Jess - congrats on another restful night! Still jealous... Better to get Tiahna's ears pierced now rather than later. Good luck with it, and the needles too. All in one day - ouch! My mum had my ears pierced when I was 8 weeks!! I guess I had no hair for ages, and so many people thought I was a boy!
Wouldn't worry too much about the *ahem* touching business... wait till later when they do it all the time, in front of company, and just wont stop! My friend's 3-year-old is going thru that now... humping things and stubbornly refusing to stop. Embarassing, no?
Abb - shame about your weekend... what a disaster! Hope you can put it behind you. Any tips on what to take, or what not to take?? Nice to have that moment with DP's grandfather, though. That sounds really lovely!
mecil - nice to see you back here! wow, can't believe you're back at work full-time. How do you do it? Congratulations on the block of land, and best of luck with the building project! It'll be great for you to get out of an apartment. We had a 2-bedroom apartment, and that was too small. The move was a shocker, but it's sooo much more comfortable now in a house. Zali is obviously going great, you lucky thing! Well done!
Hey beckstar- glad I'm not the only one who seems to be starving all the time! I eat more than DP now, it's scary!
Bec7 - I'm glad the needles went well for you and Cam! And the swimming lessons. I walked to our local pool earlier today, and it's empty. I think that's taking water restrictions a bit far... guess it's back to the bath tub for us!
right, off to the clothesline - my new favourite place
