Sorry, once again been a little slack...well actually kinda been a little busy.
Girl - No we don't and have never co-slept. I could never quite figure out how everyone did it....Cameron is such a mover - I was always to scared he would roll/crawl off the bed! We did try a couple of times and that's exactly where he headed . And also my DH is a truck driver (semi's), so sleep is very important for safety for himself and everyone else on the road.
Jess - Sorry to hear Tiahna's now sick...Cam had a cold a couple of weeks ago - the snot seems to finally cleared over the weekend! Hope she feels better soon.
Abb - How was your night alone...what girly movie did you end up watching? DH went out Friday night, so once again I put in Just Like Heaven, followed by Serendipity (I love these movies) .
Sassy - GRR to your partner going back on his deal...but glad you ended up taking advantage of it later. Maybe next weekend you could get a little drunk (before your dieting kicks in) and tell him you won't be able to attend to Jayda cause you'll be a little hungover this time
NaNa - No advise here either, but I'll offer a - actually make that a cause I know the other ladies would like to get in on it too for you. How many more weeks til you travel - are you having the chance yet to get organised for it?
Mis - I seen your picture on FB of the trial birthday cake...so jealous. Here I was just going to do a boring old blue iced sponge cake. But I'm going over to a mothers group lady's house tomorrow so we can gather some other ideas and trial it together (then taste test after ) - so you might have given me some inspiration to be a little more creative. Sorry to hear your having BF troubles now too.
AFM - well I think I'm giving up expressing now too....since Cam has refused boob, 4 weeks ago - I've been expressing what I can - then giving it as his night bottle (stored the extra - which we are starting to now use). I started out for the 1st week pumping 3-4 times a day, then found that hard when we had plans to go out, so trailled it down to morning and night, then over the last week I was only pumping 60mls morning and again at night - so started to wonder what was the point of doing 2 a day, so just did what I could once a day, and as of yesterday I decided I've had enough....I did a quick pump last night, cause I was a little unsure still, and only got 100mls - after a day and a half without- so today I think I'm 100% sure this is it! I do feel a little down about it at the same time as I'm feeling proud.
Besides that....Cam is still enjoying childcare - I think he is loving playing with the other kids. He did finger painting on Thursday, and really loved it apparently (last time we tried it at home, about 6weeks ago - he cried the entire time). Still no new teeth yet, but the have to be popping up soon - still dribbling big time (even the child carers have been putting a bib on him all day cause of the dribble) and a few night wake ups (this morning was 3am, then up at 5am - argh!!!).
He is really keen on trying to walk. He moves around holding onto the furniture so quickly and loves his walker - every few minutes he's up and going - then sooks until we come and turn him around. He also has started to let go of things when standing...but soon realises he's done it and grabs back quickly - though there has been a couple of topples where he didn't grab back.
Well that's all from me for now...DH has just got up - so off to spend some time with him and Cam (when he wakes up) before DH goes to work.
OK, not so much whinging from me today. *breathe deep... this too shall pass...* It was a bad night, but that's nothing new.
LMK - sorry, I don't have you on FB or you would have seen pics of how much Aadi has a taste for books! Literally... he has destroyed lots of his own board books, but I am currently sitting amongst a pile of shredded Gourmet Traveller magazines. I don't know how many half-eaten pages I have fished out of Aadi's mouth today let alone in the last week... it's disgusting. I bet you must have been so terrified for that to happen to Abbie when you were so far away from home! I know DP is nowhere near as vigilant as me whenever Aadi's playing somewhere new or potentially dangerous (like the back yard!). Last night we were at a friend's place and they had lots of kidlets running around and burst balloons were going everywhere. I was scrambling around picking up all I could find, and DP (who's s'posed to be minding Aadi) asks me "why is Aadi coughing?". He's sitting in a corner choking on a piece of rubber, that's why! So once more I've got my fingers down his throat trying to get the stuff out and not get bitten at the same time! ack!
Abb - How was your big night in?? Sounds divine... I bet planning DD's birthday party is causing you a few worries though! Eeek! Girls and boys! 13 year-olds! scary stuff...
Bec - I'm sorry you're having to give up the BF. But I guess Cam knows what he wants, and he's a big enough boy now to not need it (even if it makes you sad!). You've done great to go this far, and to keep expressing too. That's such hard work. You should be proud, and now you get the chance to reclaim your BBs for yourself (and DH, too maybe? heheh).
It is so great that Cam is loving daycare, and must be a relief for you that he's in good hands and enjoying himself while you have to go back to work.
Mis - You mean to say you STILL haven't got a vapouriser? oooh, you're naughty! Get thee to a chemist, quickly! No, they're not cheap. About $40-$60 but worth it. I have a EucyBear one. It's green, but I'll get over it!
I hope you get something you need from Tresillian, whether it be support, ideas, anything... you deserve it. And don't worry about venting or destressing in here. Up to you, but I've certainly done my share of it!
I'm not certain if we will actually move overseas again any time soon, but it's entirely possible. I'm dreading the 14+ hours flying time coming up next month, especially since sedation doesn't work on Aadi-Xtreme-Bebe...
Girl - I'll pop over and cook for you, if you babysit Aadi, ok?? hahahaha!! No, that would drive you crazy. Good luck with your study!
Sassy - tell your DP I think he's being a poo! No, don't do that... but he is LOL! What a bum deal.
I hope the duromine helps you, and you can maintain the willpower and determination you need to achieve all your goals.
Jess - I hope Tiahna's feeling better soon. Poor chicken...
Well, Aadi's walking around with his walker/pusher thing a lot more now. Actually, no, he's running around with it. Walking is tooooo slow for him! He'll probably run first, then go back and walk like he did with commando crawling first, standing up, and then crawling properly! He leans on the coffee table and cruises around with the aide of all the furniture, walls, my legs, etc. but he will not stand on his own for more than a second and wont be helped to walk. He plonks down on his bottom and sooks and throws a tantrum at my feet until I pick him up. This happens a lot, so my back is getting extremely strong, and sore...
OK, DP's just put the kid to bed. Now it's time to go to work for me!
Hi Girls
Well i had a good night, I let Hamish stay up until 8pm as i kinda felt funny being alone but goos in a way. I made myself a discustingly junk food snack and a big glass of coke, hopped in my pj's snuggles on the couch, i first watched He's just not that into you, i love that movie, it so reminds me off my best friend and i when we were single and i have now watched it 3 times. Then i watched Marley and Me again, one of my favourites, such a tear jerker. I then when to bed spread out everywhere, almost fell asleep instantly, then was woken at 4am by the worst noise and storm ever, the wind and rain was actually frightening, It was so loud. I got up and checked Hamish but he slept through the entire thing, i finally got back to sleep around 5 then the stupid car alarm went off, apparently it has happen before according to James that with such strong winds etc it can set it off, but not once like 5 times omg i was so furious and stupid as i just kept turning it off until the 5th time i realised um if i just leave car unlocked it wont go off again..doh.. So up until 4am it was great..lol
NaNa - Omg on maybe moving but i guess with no family etc, you need to reassess what is best for you guys, good luck with your decision.
Bec - glad Cam is fitting in to daycare, it must be a relief knowing he enjoys it.
Nikki - yay on the weight loss, my doc wont give it to me atm, i have to wait until i see specialist about other health issues next week first.
Sass - grr at dh, glad you went back to bed though and took advntage of it, good for you.
Mis T - Hope stanks is ok and it was just a one off being sick.. Expressing is the pits, i hated it, seems like a never ending task.
Jess - I hope TIahna gets better quickly, i hate it when they are sick, poor things..
Not long until there birthdays now, who's bubba is first? I think Hamish is last almost along with a few on the same day.
How is he with other people? For example, if left with your mother? Sorry if you have been asked this question before. I would love for you to cook for me. You are a chef after all. I am still jealous of your partner. He must be eating like a King. Nana, they love books at this stage of their life. Lol. Tastes good to them I can't stop Yasmeenia. DD enjoys her walker also. Especially when he are outside, the front yard or the backyard. She wears her hat. She needs sunglasses soon. I hate Perth - the weather! After playing outside with her walker, she comes back hungry and tired. Lol. From all that running and making noises. She sometimes goes near the plants, pulls it off and eats it. I totally forgot to saying - you are moving to what? Paris? Wow. That's a big decision to make. I can't imagine living outside Australia although I once lived in New Zealand as a child.
Bec -
She has been sleeping with me since she was 6 months. She has yet to fall off the bed. She has fallen off the coach twice, nothing serious. But it scared the hell out of me. She doesn't move around much. She does like to have her own space but doesn't want me too far. Right now she is sleeping on our bed. I always check on it often. Tonight she went to sleep a bit late because she had a very long nap today 3 hours! She normally sleeps for two hours during the day.
abb: wat time does hamish usually go to bed? jayda doesnt go till 8 to 830 if not she is awake at like 4 in the morning lol
Girl: wat did u change ur name too. i think everyone is trying to confuse me lol.
well i started the duromine this morning. i took it at 5 when Dh got up to go to work and then went back to sleep slept in till 715 opps lol. dont feel any dif yet still ate lots for breaky. does it take a few days fo rit to kick in? i am on the 30's
The latest from DP is that he wants to move to Africa. Ghana, to be specific. I'm so tired I just don't care right now, and DP is so pi$$ed off that I seem so ungrateful about him wanting to have a better life for us. Um, whatever. I'm tired. Aadi climbed out of the cot and crashed into me sleeping on the floor last night. I don't want to think about moving to Africa, where there is never going to be the sort of specialist help this kid is going to obviously need. Yeah, there might be cleaners and cooks, but paediatricians and family members I actually know or trust? Not likely. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't win!
Girl - or whoever you are now - my mother is 2500km away in Qld. And she is so hyper and manic that I actually told her not to come stay with us. I know she means well and would like to help, but the simple fact is Aadi doesn't know how to stay asleep and nobody can help with that, it seems.
. And also my DH is a truck driver (semi's), so sleep is very important for safety for himself and everyone else on the road.
.
- actually make that a
cause I know the other ladies would like to get in on it too for you. How many more weeks til you travel - are you having the chance yet to get organised for it?
