    Hello ladies,

    Lol@Love-my-kids. If I were you I would have probably punched her in the face . It seems like she cannot control her 3 year old. Or just can't be bothered. Your best option at the moment is to ignore her, she is family after all. By the way, I was kidding about punching a In-Law in the face , although it would does sound tempting.

    Exam over! 2 weeks to relax with my beautiful, sweet daughter. And another full semester ahead, the last! I can't wait. DD's top tooth (one of them) is visible and the other is should be there very soon, its coming out. No crawling. Still does the 'once in a blue moon' roll. She doesn't enjoy tummy time much, only in the mornings. She loves sitting. She does everything in a sitting position. She does get into a crawling position, what looks like mini-push-ups, cute.

    DD sleeping is wonderful. She sleeps throughout the night from 7:30pm or 8pm til 6:30am. I am blessed. She makes some noises during the night but doesn't want to be feed. I allowed her to stay up a little late tonight because of the heat. She couldn't sleep and I didn't want to force her. She eats her food. I am so proud. She has dinner with us. But I don't give her fruits if it hasn't been pureed. I do give her apples (sliced) to hold and bite on whenever she pleases. I can't give her fruits because she chokes and ends up vomitting. I haven't made an appointment for the 8 month meeting yet. But I will sometime this week, definitely not tomorrow, the weather is expected to be 39 degrees.

    My throat is hurting. Whenever I take DD to childcare she comes back home with a runny nose, blocked nose, etc. By Sunday night she is back. By Wednesday, sick again! She has attended childcare for 10-12 days. But she will be home with me until I go back to uni. This will be the first semester I attended classes since giving birth to her. I am so looking forward to reading. I went to the library today and borrowed two books by Audrey Howard, my favourite author. Anyways, I don't know what else to write besides from the tragic about the bushfires. It is sad how someone or some people have lit these fires.

    Morning ladies.

    Where do i start. Things here are not going Soo good but compared to others i shouldnt complain. DD and i are both sick. a cold by the looks of it. sore throat, runny nose dry cough, its aweful. The fever just wont ease up i'm hot and cold and i feel sorry for DD as she is going through the same. I couldnt find her formula anywhere so had to buy a different HA formula. NAN.... **** 7 scoops of powder to 210 mls of water.... compared to her KARICARE 4 scoops. There scooper is so tiny. I was thinking of changing as her poops have been not right. Thery seem to be a bit hard and black almost (sorry TMI) . sometimes if they arer soft they are still this dark black almost colour... i dont think thats right even with solids. Her 2nd bottle of NAN and she had dioreah (spl) then 3rd bottle she threw up a bit and this morning's poop is a very light green colour. never before have i seen a poo this colour. I'm just not sure what to do. i can only find 2 brands who make a HA formula and if one makes her poop black and one makes her have dioreah what do i do. I'll speak with the GP today and see what he thinks.

    Girl- YAY you must feel so relieved to have 1 exam over with.... Glad the sleeping is going well. Also the joys of childcare.... DS is still the same he gets sick almost weekly.... he goes 1 day (friday) and by sunday he's either throwing up, dioreah (spl) fevers, colds rashes, u name it he's got it from preschool.... its inevitable when kids are all together playing. slobbering on toys, wiping there noses with their hands etc all the fun things kids do.

    LMK- omming from a mum who's son runs amok dispite my efforts to control him i empathise with both sides... My DS got lost at the shops 6 times last week. he hides in clothes racks or just runs out to the front of the store and plays on the bloody toys/ride things. He has never punched anyone YET except me oh and yes DD. (he put on 2 stubby holders and pretended they were bozing gloves and punched her in the face... not nice) I think best to ignore her comments. Me i would be very appologetic, its so embarrasing having an out of control child and somthing i wouldnt want to wish on anyone. Its hard work and very full on but to me it sounds like your SIL just has 'perfect child syndrome'. (Her child can never be in the wrong. ) if DS is nasty or cheeky to people i tell him to appologise, sometimes he refuses which makes me more cranky. i always appologise for him (i know he needs to learn to say it himself). I hope cody is ok, its also hard to explain to him why his cousin didnt get into trouble too.... HUGS

    Sass- WOW at already planing next bubs.... i would love to be doing the same but DP isnt ready.... think he's going through a late 20's crisis or something... hehe.... he just brought a boat and wants to get out on thw water... Think he's trying to relive his YOUTH.... hehe.... Its good your feeling so much better now.

    NaNa- Sorry to hear Aadi is biting... Ouchy..... sounds like your having a rough time... WOW at Aadi knowing what the potty is for.... i find if i use cloth DD is quick to tell me she needs a change. Were having similar day sleep issues... we used to have 2 sleeps 1 at about 9 ish and awake in an hour then another at 12ish til about 2-3. lately it has been 1 sleep at about 11.30-12 but only til about 1-2 and she's tired and cranky by 4 and wanting to be in bed i stretch her out til about 5.30-6 but she ssleeps for an hour and wakes up and expects to play til 9-10pm if not later.

    Bec- the heat was aweful but now its been raining and its cold.... i think thats why everyone is getting or is sick. DD has started saying UP now also.... we went from few words to nothing for ages and now lots of works and sounds again.... I wish DD would blow her nose... she sees me with a tissue and covers her face and smears it everywhere... she hates having her nose wiped. poor thing.

    Well best be off, time to pump some music and clean up (dance round too to warm me up) Take care everyone....

    Been a while since Deancey and mecil have been on..... hmmm i think there are a couple of people missing. have to find the spread sheet i made when we 1st started this baby buddies thread.

    Hi All,

    My brain is a little muffled...so won't do personals as I can't remember a thing I just read, except that a couple of you's are getting sick. Hope you feel better soon. Cameron has learnt to share himself....both DH and I have caught his cold. I must teach him that he does not need to share EVERYTHING .

    At least we got some reasonably good sleeps last few nights though. The night before Cameron only woke at 1then 2 - ended up giving him some panadol and a feed. He had some good sleeps yesterday, which I caught with sleep then too. He was so good, never grumbled at all and seemed to look at me in a way like he understood that I was sick like him too. Then last night I put Cameron down at 7.30pm, though it took til 8 for him to go to sleep. I got to bed at 8.30, but was achy and stuffed up. Eventually started to doze off and Cam started to cry, but self settled. But now I was wide awake. 1hr later he woke again (I think it was about 10), this time needed some cuddles. But that was the last I heard from him, we both slept til 7am...woohoo! I feel alot better today, still all stuffy though and now the coughing has begun though. Any ideas what I could take to help the coughing. Alot of the cough medicines aren't recommended while BF.

    I've just remembered something I'd been meaning to ask...Has everyone's bubs eyes changed colour? If so what colour did they go? Cam's are still blue. It is unlikely Cam's will stay blue, as DH and I both have hazel and most of my family are the same or brown (DH is fostered, so not sure of his family, except for a brother he meet, but he too had dark eyes). Though he would look nice with the dark hair and blue eyes, but I have a feeling they will be like DH's - more of a green hazel.

    Well, since I'm feeling a little better in the body (not the head though)...I had better go do some house work.

    Bye for now

    Lightbulb I am sick! How could this have happened?

    Goodness I feel awful. Yasmeenia and I just came back from our local GP. I was prescribed with nothing. I haven't been since for a whole year and now look! Also, it is the first time for poor DD to be sick. You are right, Jess, she is always has a runny nose after taking her to childcare. I guess you know all about that because of your son. Your little one sounds really bad. Hope she gets well along with the other bubs. I don't know how I am going to prepare dinner while sick.

    Get well Bec and Cameron.

    Sassy,

    Good luck with losing the weight. How much do you weigh now? If you don't mind me asking

    I have to go now, DD is grabbing at the keyboard.

    Sass- dont be embarrassed i'm heavier then you.... everytime i start doing something about my weight i get sick or something happens and throws everything out of wack. just kepping the thought in my head as a regular reminder. like Do i need this chocolate etc.... I need to get back to walking though... easier said then done...

    Tiahna has had brown eyes from day 1 and they have satyed that way. Bec- They could stay blue... DS has blue eyes and i have brown and DP's are hazely green. When DS is sick or the wether is bad his are greeny hazel but on clear days and when he's healthy they are blue as..... My MIL has blue eyes as does my sister (mum and dads are brown: ) .

    Girl- only 1 good thing comes from bubs being sick as it builds their immune system. (wish DS's construction team would pull their fingers out and get on with it... hehe... )

    Coughing while BF... Hmmmmm... i could use my ventolin puffer. but if its what i have dry cough... not sure. maybe a hot cuppa with some lemon or honey??? cant be of much help sorry.... i'm not BF anymore which is the only 1 good thing about being sick i can take most things now... hope you find something... I know how your feeling... Its aweful. i feel like i have been hit with a bat. my ears keep popping and when i blow my nose i get dizzy and have to sit before i pass out... weird... (doesnt halp that i havent eaten much
