Only got a couple of mins..want to go watch Medium, so will be quick.
Feel like I've been rather busy over the last week. My best friends hen's night is tomorrow night- which I'm bridesmaid for, so I've been busy ducking out to collect things for this. Then today sat there getting it all ready. I'm so looking forward to it. It's up in Brisbane, so as my Mum is also going and she lives up that way I will be staying there for the night. This will be my first night away from Cameron and the first time DH will have to look after him ALL by himself. Then he can do it all again next weekend as I'm going out with Mum, cousin and couple of Aunts to that Busting Out show, but that ones local, so will be home to sleep. Just probably won't be very attentive, as plan on having a few drinks then too. I'm so looking forward to going out both weekends though.
Cam's been good. His cold is gone and he seems to be back to his happy self. Except for last night...woke about 9pm screaming. We couldn't work out what the problem was until we brought him out to the kitchen and I noticed his arm was all red. He must've slept on it and ended up with a dead arm, then probably pins and needles...as he cried for about 15mins. After we helped wave it around a little, he calmed down and went back to sleep til 5.20am, where I went in, lied him back down, put his musical seahorse on and he then woke at 7am.
Still only the 4 teet - 2 up top and 2 down bottom. Which is usually the next tooth to pop up?
He is enjoying his food again. Have been continuing to give him food that we eat. Last night sausages and vegies, tonight rissoles and vegies. I will have to get a cheap plastic table cloth I think to help with the mess he makes feeding himself, though we do have a very attentive vacuum cleaner...our dog! I always end up having to bath him when he's done.
In regards to DH and work...still no luck yet. His boss gave him a seperation letter to take to centrelink, so hopefully we may get something from there until he finds work or his employer needs him again. His employer did say there is some work possibly coming back again soon and that he'll call DH when it's here, but no idea when.
On top of that stress, AF arrived last weekend finally. It really is kinda bittersweet. It was nice not having to worry about it for the last 18months, but now it means we could TTC #2 - just the timing is probably not the best right now with DH out of work. Oh well, if it happens it happens. I figure if I was lucky enough to fall this month, then I would know by next month, in time to tell work whether I want to return full time or go parttime. If I was pregnant I'd go back to my full time job for 6months then I'd end up getting my full time maternity leave pay again. But I reakon my chances of falling naturally are pretty slim though, so won't stress about it all too much.
Well my show is on (had to come back in the first set of ads to finish this )
Busy weekend, huh?
DS is still sick, not sleeping well at night at all. I'm so tired, it's getting ridiculous! A friend of mine is off to sleep school this week and her son sleeps 12 hours at night. I don't understand...
DS is also biting me still. He's very cuddly and affectionate, and always leaning in to give me kisses but then sometimes the demon takes over and he grabs hold of the hair at the back of my head and bites down on my chin or jaw. If I try and pull him away, my hair gets yanked and my face gets teeth marks. It's horrible and it has to stop!
Bec - funny how everything happens at once, hey? It's a weird thing when AF comes back, too. Aadi gets the dead arm thing sometimes too, it's so hard to comfort him when he's all numb and floppy! Next teeth will probably be the top two beside the front middle ones. I thought Aadi was getting them but they've done a disappearing act and now he just wont let me near his face because he knows I'm gonna wipe his snotty nose!!
hrmmmm I hear screaming. Better go investigate. Sorry, be back tomorrow maybe! Drat!
WOW Loving these avatars. Tracy and NaNa HOT stuff...
Cant wait for mine. I could use a lift. My damn computer crashed again and its the harddrive once again. this will be the 2nd replaced one since we brought the damn thing. 1st one was 8 months after and this one is 10 months since that one. GRRRR all my stuff lost again. Technology
Things seem to have sorted itself out. were now on normal karicare gold progess one. she seems to be ok. no throwing up which is great but better yet no dioreah or constipation(yet) trying hard to combat the constipation with lots of fruit and veges. she has also cut down her bottle since getting over her cold. so were on about 4 now. Is that about par with you all??? still wont drink water but the CHN i saw said bollocks about no juice she said i could try prune juice or the baby juice i brought (apricot, apple and carrot) would be fine cos its low in sugar and its kinda thick like blended carrots with the juice. it helps with constipation so i'm sticking with giving her small amounts of it
Bec- sorry to hear bout DH. Hope something comes up soon. Great that cams loving his food again. Must have been a faze cos Tiahna has gone food crazy again.
NaNa- Sorry to hear your still have problems. Also about your friend some people just dont realise how good they have it. i really hope for your sake that you can get things sorted out. That biting sounds horrible. I get the hair pulling DD is obcessed with mine and its always the 1st thing she goes for and she tries to eat it.
well have to go little miss is into everything been awake since 5 and its been a nitemare so far.
Firstly, I received passed with a fairly good mark for someone who only studied 4 hours a day for 4 days and did exam revision the night before the exam . Secondly, DD is still sick. On Friday we went to our local GP, prescribed medication and nose spray. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday she has been vomiting and her poo colour yellow and green, diarrhoea. She doesn't like the medication and vomits that out too. She has never been given anything before. Damn childcare for making her sick! Still has a runny nose, but not as bad as before. She is off solids. Vomits that out too immediately. At the moment she is breastfeeding, which comes out, sleeps, and wet and dirty nappies. When she is awake she just cries. She wants to be cuddled and wants me close to her. I stopped giving her the medicine on Saturday night. GP last time said she had a sore throat, her left ear was red, and told me to come back if she didn't get better. So today I've made an appointment to see her again. We went to DD's 8 month meeting on Tuesday last week and she weighs 8.4 kgs which I am not too happy about. I would have liked her to be 9kgs. She hasn't gained much since she was 6-7 months.
Bec - Hopefully your husband will find something very soon.
Jess- Computer problems huh? My laptop of almost 2 years has crashed. I bought it for $1,800 HP Pavillon. It's cost $800 just to fix the problem (hardware issue). So I figured not to bother fixing it. I am so sad though because I did everything on the laptop and always preferred to use it instead of the PC. By the way, some people swear by Karicare Gold. DD doesn't like S26 although she is still breastfeed. I did try Karicare Gold when she was 3 months, still didn't like it. She is a cheecky little one, doesn't take anything but breastmilk and only loves her water.
Mis-tree- Your little man is walking on furniture
NaNa- Your friend is lucky. Kinda like me at the moment, DD sleeps well during the night and doesn't need to be feed, maybe once but she prefers not to but I always try. She is still sick.
Well abbie is a little food monster. If someone is eating she is THERE! She will scream and do her little tantrum thing to get what she want's. Cheeky little girl she is. She has her tantrum by leaning back and looking to the sky and grunting and sometimes she falls backwards and cries, its funny but amazing that she has started this already
So yesterday she was holdingonto the toy box and stood up all by herself Clever little munchkin
Jess i would not worry about people saying things about tihana trying to walk and being os active. Lachlan walked at 10months and our babies are not far off that are they. Each baby is different and you can't exactly tie them down can you. Don't stress i never did with lachlan, but i am glad that abbie is not going to walk as soon as lachlan did, only cause then i will have to run after her and lachlan where at te moment its only one i have to run after With the formula thing i glad that you have found one that she likes, although they will be off it soon YIPPEEEEEE it will save so much money
Girl sorry to hear that bubs is unwell i hope she feels better soon.
I love everyones new avators too they look great, but i have to say i which i looked that great in real life PMSL!!!
Mis Yeah on walking around furniture, you better get prepared for it although at first they are a bit slow
hi bec abb nana sassy and anyone else i missed sorry.
I have been reading past few days but just haven't posted in here, just haven't had the time and not sure i will get much now but will see how i go. I love everyone's new avatars, i just put my request in so i cant wait to see mine.
Girl - poor yasmeena i hope she gets better soon.
Nikki- Hamish also did that with food for awhile but now he isn't so bad, i had to keep reminding Dd and DP not to given as he has already eaten and had enough, he just never knows when he is full, the mchn said he should refuse food when had enough but not Hamish, he is a guts.lol (bit like his mum)
Mis Tree - Hamish is also walking around furniture and just yesterday he let go and was standing by himself not holding on to anything until i yelled out and got all excited he fell to the ground and started crying i think he got a fright and also didn't realise he wasn't hanging on. He hasn't done it since, might be a once off. I hope so, i dont want him to walk yet, Maddi was walking at 9 months and as Nikki mentioned it is hard work.
Jess - bugger on the computer, come have one of ours.lol Dp is an it technician by trade so atm we have 2 desktops and 3 laptops, and he is building a new desktop soon so hopefully we will sell some off. Glad you have sorted out the formula issues. Do you miss breast feeding? You know i didnt think i enjoyed it much but i do miss the closeness with Hamish.
NaNa - Gee it sounds like you are not having a good time with Aadi atm, well atleast whne your visitors leave you can focus on him and you more rather than them getting in your way all the time. Hopefully as he gets older things will settle down, ikwym about the hair pulling and biting it is driving me nuts too.
Bec - I hope your Dh can find some work soon. How was your night out?
Abb- i miss it terribly. It seems that DD never wants to sit with me anymore.All she wants is to push me away and get on the floor. I'm glad the puter is still under warranty so there replacing it free of charge but it still doesnt replace all my stuff on it. It sucks.
Girl _ congrats on your results. Hope your DD gets better. HAve you tried a vapouriser??? They work well.
LMK_ Jordan walked at 10 months also and i copped cr_p for that too... Thats why i love BB so much great advice and not just people who think... "my child isnt doing that so it must be wrong" YAY on DD standing up by herself.
