Well I have to go and have a camera put up into my bladder....nothing to do with the BP but there's something wrong and he found it. But can't have that until I stop feeding as they use radioisotopes. Oh well have put up with it this long....and my Bp's up again....better start exercising again. :(
Om goodness Kim ~ what has he found ? did he tell you ?
Ouch, I hope its nothing serious kim. Yeah what did he tell you?? Are you ok???
Vic: Your websites are great….very clean looking IYKWIM. I would much rather be at home with Jayden of course, but I guess being back isn’t so bad….Can’t wait for the next baby though so I can stay home again though LOL. Chris has been great the past few days….He has been getting up to Jayden at 3am all weekend and even changed a pooey nappy Sat morning to let me sleep in! Good that the kids behaved….it would be hard with them all stuck inside! You had an early night though! Would get a bit boring when you don’t know anyone I guess. I hope Adam’s teeth pop through fast…poor bubba. Water is a great idea…I’ll try that. He always refuses water for me but anyone else can give it to him haha
I think it was Wednesday night we had arranged for MIL to look after Jayden again as Chris was on N/S…After we got home he told me he wasn’t going to work so I said seen as he isn’t going to work the next day he could look after Jayden…. I went to bed around 11.30pm only to get woken by Chris at 3.30am to tell me Jayden needed a bottle!! I told him to go and make it but he reckons he doesn’t know how and then when I did get up to make it he starts giving me a lecture on why I should have a bottle ready!! Chris fed him and I got to sleep again by about 4am. In the morning I was nearly ready for work so I went to wake Chris up to look after Jayden and he told me that he was up all night with Jayden and to take him to his mum’s…I said I didn’t have time to take him as I thought he was looking after him then Chris put the pillow over his head and went back to sleep so of course I had to take Jayden to MIL…..I got to work just on time but I was so angry at him
Rach: Hi….I haven’t seen you around before but I saw your name in the list of may babies…..Welcome back!
Sara: I used to love the Never Ending Story! I can’t remember the second one too much but the first I do. Oh I love Mr Squiggle too, I used to get upset if I missed blackboard coming down or going back up!! You have so many animals!! I wish we had that many hehe. Your smorgasboard luch sound delicious….save me any?? Hehe We haven’t taken our dogs to the beach since I was about 30 weeks (maybe a little more) PG I couldn’t walk on the sand after then it was too hard…..I was snorkeling up til then too, although I couldn’t go deep my belly wouldn’t let me LOL. Yay for Briley rolling!! I hope your feeling better now. Great that Brent is on D/S finally!!
Leanne: I hope DH’s back gets better soon…That is terrible about your holiday, I think I would have cried if I missed out on something I was looking forward to. I loved Fraggle Rock too but I always missed it for some reason….I didn’t get into the goodies, my brother loved it though.
Nat: Em’s a good boy behaving at the xmas pageant! Its surprising how much noise babies can handle…..Bundy Thunder was SOOO loud and Jayden slept through it! I can’t wait to put up our xmas tree and wrap pressies!!
Jess: I had a look at Pat’s page the other day when I was talking to you….He is just beautiful!! Great pics of the other kids too!
Kellee: Too old…..pfft LOL
Shazz: I got a msg from Sheree this morning to say they are back in hospital (not sure in Bundy or Bris) He has been throwing up heaps with a lot of power….Didn’t have 1 wet nappy from 8pm to 4am. He is on a drip and they took blood at 4am this morning. He is very lethargic…Sheree changed his nappy, singlet, shirt and pants and he didn’t even wake up which isn’t normal for him. They have been to Emergency so much he may have picked up a bug or it might be all associated to the reflux. I’ll let Sheree know you were asking after them (she’ll really appreciate it). It would be hard to exercise with stiff joints….It will happen but in the mean time ignore them…..A week after I had jayden a girl at work said “You haven’t lost much weight have you!” I’m like WTF this time last week I was pushing out a baby….Of course I haven’t lost much weight! And on fathers day SIL#6 asked if I was PG again cause I had a belly (well still do)….I was so upset and I have never been sensitive about my weight! Thanks for the 5mth bday wishes….i nearly forgot on the day too LOL
Kim: That’s great that Darcy loved her Rice Cereal….Jayden will eat it but he likes his bottle better…He will go better with fruit and veg I think with more taste. I think it is a habit bottle now that’s why I thought of decreasing the amount each night. We started solids early in the hope that Jayden would sleep LOL looks like our babies are on to us LOL Jayden rarely rolls too…I know he can do it!! Good luck with the camera….Hope it turns out ok.
I put Jayden in his rocker earlier and I pinched his thigh as I was doing up the strap…..OMG did he scream….I felt so bad the poor baby, I put a cold washer on it and the is a little bruise, but he is ok. Well this has to be my longest post ever!!
Have a good night girls
oxoxox
Omg i hope little lachie starts to pick up soon sheree must be beside herself with worry tell her i'm sending a huge big hug as well thanks for the update Tania
Again the dreaded weekend and you girls have chatted up a storm!! Will do my best to catch up!
Sara ~ I’ve never heard that its bad luck to put up your Christmas tree before December? It is sort of an SA tradition to put it up the day the Christmas Pageant is on (not everyone does it LOL but I know a lot that do!) Are you sure you haven’t heard of a Christmas Pageant? Its like a parade with floats and clowns and Santa at the end? The one in Adelaide is really big with over 300,000 people on the streets watching! And yes I remember Mr Squiggle! Whoo hoo @ Briley rolling from back to stomach – what a smart little girl! How did your cleaning mission go?
Leanne ~ I don’t remember Fraggle Rock but I vaguely remember Gordon mentioning it LOL. I hope your DH’s back is feeling better.
Jemima ~ OMG Congratulations! No wonder you’ve been quiet – what a big thing to wrap your head around. I’m sure you’ll cope wonderfully! Vic does an excellent job!
Kellee ~ I know what you mean about these girls chatting to fast! Sometimes even I can’t keep up LOL! Please don’t feel as though you have to do personals though! I’d love to hear about what you’re up to if you’re short on time! I miss seeing you around LOL!
Shazz ~ OMG @ being asked if you were PG. How did those people react when you said no? How rude of them! Can your Dr recommend exercises that you can do that won’t place stress on your body?
Tania ~ Grrr @ AF!! I was having regular AF’s with the Implanon implant I have but I haven’t had one in awhile :confused: not that I’m complaining! Sounds like you had a busy weekend as well! OMG @ Chris – I would have gone mental at him!!! He wasn’t up all night and beside the fact how many times have you been up all night and still had to look after Jayden during the day!!
Kim ~ Em sounds exactly like Darcy with the rice cereal. Did you have the plain type of the Banana and Pear flavour? Pity it didn’t help her sleep through. It didn’t really change Em’s sleeping patterns either. Is everything alright – did the Dr say what it was or do you not want to mention it? Sending you big :hug: I hope it gets better soon what ever it is.
Vic ~ WOW @ your busy weekend. Sounds great! I hope Adam settles down for you. Em has been feeling a bit off as well. Gave his dad hell on Sunday when I was at work apparently LOL! The websites are amazing – That is great work! Have you thought about becoming a Market Place Member here? I think you’d get heaps of business – though you have been saying how busy you are LOL!
I got the same message from Sheree – I am thinking of them too and praying that Lachie starts to improve soon.
Well I am as sick as a dog. I feel horrible and can’t wait to get to bed and laze around doing nothing tomorrow. Yesterday we had a swimming lesson and Emerson cried through the whole thing! I think he was hungry. Today we had another lesson and he was amazingly good. He floated by himself and kicked his legs around and went under the water really well – smiling and laughing the whole time. I was very impressed with him. Then I had a friend watch Em while I studied for my STAT. I am pretty confident with it all now though I will have a few more study sessions before I take the exam (2 weeks) including a practice run under exam conditions. Hopefully I will do well as the TER for BA of Midwifery is really high and its so competitive to get in so have your :crossfingers: for me!
Oh and my tree with the presents underneath looks amazing!! *runs down hall to turn the lights on* We have a white tree and went with a red and silver theme (including the wrapping paper!) so its very pretty. Alright I need to catch up on a few other threads and then its off to bed for me!
Evening Ladies,
Tania - Yeah we have'nt been to the beach for ages. We used to only live 5 mins drive from the beach before but its about 1/2 hour now. GRRRRRR at Chris. Thats pretty inconsiderate seeing as you had too work!! And then not even looking after Jayden the next day...thats unreal. You need to slap him girl!!! If brent did that too me i would've gone off my head at him. I know what you mean about swimming when your preggers!! I found it hard to float but! I can't believe you were snorkelling at 30 weeks!! Poor Jayden. Don't worry i pulled briley right out of the rocker once. She fell straight on her face!! I felt terrible!!
Nat - Ohhhh you poor thing. Is someone there looking after you??? I know what its like to be sick and looking after a little one. Its pretty hard trying to look after yourself and them aswell. Hope you feel better soon. Nup, never heard of a chrissy pageant. We have carrolls by candlight nights. But no pageants. Pretty sure about the chrissy tree thing but i could be wrong. I have also heard its bad luck to put up a calandar early too. Depends on how superstitous you are i spse. Glad the tree looks good for you but. The swimming lessons sound great. I really need to get Briley into them but its so much drama living so far out of town. Good luck on the STAT test. I did'nt have to do one of them cause i had enough work/training experience.
Shazz - I got asked if i was pregnant years before i even had Briley. I was quite offended acutally. I have always had a spare tyre but!:p
Kim - You still have'nt been on to say what is up with the Dr. I hope everything is ok. I hope you are ok....:hug:
Well tonight i am, as we all are i am sure, thinking about little Lachie. Keep fighting it little man. Sheree and Wade i hope that you guys are ok and handling it all well too. :hug:
Well i did'nt get even close to the stuff i wanted done tody. I just felt shi**y all day. Tired, i had cramps (o cramps i think, i have NEVER felt them before so its odd) and sickly. So i'll see how i go tomorrow.
Hope all is well with everyone else. I am off to try and have an early night.
Ni Night!
Oh and for those who are wondering...Jodie has gone to sleep school with Shaun for this week. I'm sure she will be on next week to update us all on how it went...
Morning All! Just quickly as I'm trying to get ready to go out....
Yeah I'm fine, but thanks so much for your concern. I've had whatever I've got for years. He thinks my left kidney is refluxing ie the wee is going back up the tube that takes it from kidney to bladder and that's why it's enlarged. And on the other side I have a little flap over the end of the tube on the bladder end. He said it should have been picked up when I had 8 UTIs in 1998, but it wasn't. They'll either leave it or nick it so it moves better. They'll just put me in hossy to have a looking when I stop feeding. I still wee heaps so I'm not bothered.
Poor Nat hope you feel better hon..
Just have to say that the new picture of Darcy on your ticker is just adorable!!!!
Morning Ladies,
Not feeling 100% again today. I just feel very drained. I had a good nights sleep though. Briley did'nt wake up once during the night. She slept till 6.30am!!
Well i was going to hold off on telling anybody this but....Brent and I have decided to start trying for #2. We are not going to go out of our way for it to happen. We are just going to let nature take its course and if it happens it happens. I am scared, nervous and a lot of other feelings at once. The urge is too have another baby is strong to push aside. It seems to be getting worse. I am not sure if my body is trying to tell me something or what.
I have a massive fight going between my head and my body. My body is screaming for another baby and my head is saying GO TO UNI!!! So i have been stressing on what to do. I spoke to brent about it and he said if it happens it happens. Oh and added that i was like a dog on heat wanting to breed!!!!!!!!!!! I had to laugh!!
So yeah, we'll just see what happens i spse. We dtd on Monday night cause i am meant to be o'ing so now its just a waiting game. I am excited though. :)
Do you guys think i am silly wanting another baby this soon??? I know its hard and that i should be going to uni but i am willing to put all that on hold just to have another one. Iam still very young and have plenty of time to go to uni but i still feel confused about the whole thing. :confused: Your advice plz.....esp you Vic.
Kim - Glad to hear your ok. You and leanne are off the a melbourne cup luncheon today are'nt you's?? Hope you have a lovely day!!
So today, i am going try and do some housework. Other than that i'll prolly watch the melbourne cup and bum round!!
BBL
Quiet in here today! I’m still feeling pretty crap – besides washing and dishes we haven’t really done a thing. I just put Em in the JJ and he’s loving it today!
Sara ~ I can’t believe you don’t have pageants? That’s unbelievable! We have the big one in Adelaide and then few other smaller ones around the place as well! I’m nervous about the STAT test because my future basically rides on it but at the same time I’m quietly confident. YAY at starting TTC#2 you lucky thing!! You are definitely not silly wanting a baby this soon and uni will always be there for you to go and study! I think you both know what you want. GL with it!
Jodie ~ I hope sleep school goes well for you!!
Kim ~ Glad to hear that its not overly serious but still – imagine 8 UTI’s not picking it up! That’s really bad!
I wish Em would go down for a long nap so I can have a nana nap myself! Last night I was in bed asleep at 9.30 :eek: which is about 3 hours earlier then normal! I can’t wait to feel better!!!!
Evening ladies,
WHERE ARE YOU ALL????
It's been soo quiet in here today. I feel like such a loner!!
Did anyone bet on the melbourne cup?? I did'nt. I just watched it all alone!! I feel a little sad thisevening. Could be cause i am alone and am feeling under the weather!! Brent has gone deer shooting!! I have been getting the pains all day. I am wondering wether its just o cramping or something else. I did'nt eat much of my tea tonight cause i feel sick and tired. I also keep getting hot flushes.I might be getting a bug.
Got a fair bit done round the house today. So tomorrow i am going to try and finish whats left then the house will be clean!!
Well i am going to hang around the forums for a while then i might make an early night of it i think.
BBL
Nat: I did go mental at him and countless times since!! I am really getting so p****ed off with him ATM....I just keep thinking about how much I do around here and I get little or no help and no appreciation!!Good luck with you STAT my fingers and toes are crossed for you :crossfingers: LOL. I hope you feeling better soon!! OMG @ Em floating on his own!! Was that with or without floaties? We really have to go swimming again soon....we haven't been for ages, except for a little splash in SIL#3's pool.
Sara: Jayden loved me snorkelling LOL He didn't move the first time I went but after that he was moving around while I was under....it was a funny feeling haha I can't wait to get him into it when he's a bit older....he will love the fish!! I hope your feeling better today too! With the TTC thing, like I said last night....you do what you feel is right...Although you are young you have the rest of your life to go to uni but a shorter span to have children....After seeing what SIL#5 has been through (and the $$$) I say have kids while you can and don't wait for anything......Pity Chris didn't see it my way :(
Kim: Good to hear your ok
Talk about nana naps....i could have one for the next 3mths I think.....I am really getting myself so warn out!! Jayden woke at 1.30am, 3am, 6.30am then just after 7am. I gave him 60mls at 3am which I will do again tonight then the following night will change it to water and see how he goes. I left him awake in his cot after his bottle as I was so tired I couldn't stay up. He wouldn't go to sleep so I picked him up and rocked him, sat him the rocking chair with him and in the end I put him back in his cot and said "GO TO SLEEP" and I turned and left him...I felt bad but I have to sleep too! I won't even get started on Chris tonight :angry: ...I really don't know why I bother sometimes!!
Oh on a happy note.....Jayden rolled from back to belly then belly to back all in one go!!:happyforyou: A one off Im sure but I'm so proud of my boy haha
Well a woman's work is never done...bottles to sterilise and make up for the morning, nappy bag to pack, clothes to put out for Jayden and myself, shower to have and at some stage I might get 5mins sleep before Jayden wakes up.
Oh Tania Love, I totally understand about the sleep thing. And the 'women's jobs' thing too. I wanted to be angry at Chris with you, but mine is so bad and I can't make him change no matter how much I rant. Him and Chris would get along well me thinks. Hope you got some sleep.
Nat, I'm so jealous about your tree. But, its tradition here to put it up 1st Dec, so I'll just hang out until then. Got any piccies??? Just to keep me going abit longer. Besides I don't have any pressies to put under mine....and I was going to be all ready by now. Hope you're feeling better sweet. When's your exam?
OK Sara. I've been thinking about you all night. I have to say I'm a bit envious you can make that decision. Uni will be there forever, can you defer 12 months? Or did you already do that? A good midwife/nurse is based on experience too so I guess that would help. However (and I don't mean to sound like a baddie) aren't you supposed to see the gyn in Jan for a test that you had to put off cos you were preg? Wouldn't it be better to find out about that first? It's only a couple of months away. I would however be very excited for you if you did fall. Hope you're feeling a bit better today and that Briley's sleeping for you.
Well our exciting day is filled with washing as it's been raining for a week, we have about 8 laods.
BBL
Morning Ladies,
Another quiet day in here i see.
Kim - Yeah i know what you mean about seeing the Dr. I have thought about it and i think what are they going to do for me really. Just tell me that i have PCOS and thats it. Its not cureable(sp??). The drugs they give you for it are only to help with your fertility. I want to wait but this urge that i am having is soooooo strong is unreal. I have NEVER EVER felt anything like it. I know it sounds stupid but i really think my body is trying to tell me something. Maybe i am just overreacting. I don't know. At the mo we are just going with the flow of things. If it happens it happens. But i do understand where you coming from. Thanks heaps for caring!! :hug:
Tania - YAY at Jayden rolling!!! Its cool when they do it hey. I wish i had've seen Briley do it. Nevermind there will be a million and one other times!! Briley rolled off the lounge yesterday. I took my eyes of her for one second and went out to the lounge to check on her and she was on the floor on her stomach laughing!!! I tell you, she is a little rat bag!!! I hear you about the womens work!! I just can't get on top of everything. I have been a little under the weather this week so i'd say that has something to do with it.
Lea - I hope you are feeling better today. I have felt like crap all week. I am still feeling yucky today. I might be picking up a bug i think cause i had bit of a runny nose thismorning. Did you end up getting you nana nap?? You ol' thing you!! He He!!! :p
Looks like i might have a good one here then hey girls!! I thought Brent was bad a times!! Sorry to hear your men are not living up to their fatherly roles very well. Would you like Brent to come down and put the boot up em' ?!?!?!?!?!? LOL!! :)
I am STILL on a cleaning mission today. Have a shyte load of ironing to do. Briley is sleeping of the lounge floor. No more loungesuite time for her!!! She can't be trusted!! Little worm!! Still having bad cramps so i am going to take it easy anyway. Just poke along.
BBL
Sara ~ I didn’t even watch the Melbourne Cup this year let alone bet on it!! Last year I ran works sweep and everything – lots of fun! I never got my nana nap! How is your cleaning mission progressing?
Tania ~ He had a back floatie on and was holding onto the side of the pool – so floating by himself with aids I should have said LOL. Whoo hoo for Jayden rolling!! I have said to Emerson countless times GO TO SLEEP – especially yesterday lol when I was feeling quite crappy!!
Kim ~ I will take piccies and post them on my website. I pretty much put mine up so early because of tradition but also because I had no where to put the presents I had taken off layby LOL! Do you have the password? If not I will email it to you! The exam is less then 2 weeks away :eek: . All my washing is done though I have a heap of ironing here LOL!
Vic ~ OMG I’m so jealous of you going to the U2 concert!! Sounds like a blast! Whoo hoo for Adam being on the move. I am finding that with my floors as well with Em crawling around. He still quite hasn’t worked out the mechanics of normal crawling yet (though can go backwards!) but gets to where he wants quite fast by commando crawling!
Okay everyone shoot me – I know its way too early for my ticker LOL but I couldn’t’ help myself! We had another busy day today – kindergym and a mothers group meet. Em is asleep now and then it is dinner at my parents. Got my photos back today – at least the prints anyway! I will put them on the website when I get the CD. They are just brilliant!!! I can’t wait to start making my Christmas Cards!! I’d love to have them sent out by the beginning of December! Starting to feel better but I have a darn awful cough which is irritating me. Just catching up on a few posts while Em is asleep then it will be bath time and off to my folks!
LOL Vic!! Sorry! I'm a tad scared myself!
Afternoon Ladies,
Yep nearly xmas time already. Bloody scary aint it!!
Lea - That is soooo cute!! Jodie is doing xmas cards too. It has given me a little incentive to do it aswell. Cleaning mission: Complete!! LOL. Glad the pics turned out good.
Vic - YAY at Adam crawling!! I hope Briley starts soon. She does'nt even look like trying. But then again...clean floors all the time!!! Might be better if she stays in the one spot!!
Great advice. I knew that you'd tell me what i wanted to hear!! I might be jumping to conclusions yet. I'm not even pregnant yet!! I am thinking about just going p/t at uni for 2 years. I have to wait until the time table for next year comes out before i make any rash decisions. I am not worried about the money issue at all really. Brent earns a pretty decent living. I am more worried about the time i am going to have with my children. The one thing i really don't want to do is just go and put them in daycare when i can take care of them myself. I want to be a good mum. I really appreciate your thoughts.
Well i just baked brownies!! Mmmm Mmmm. Brent is cooking tea tonight. So i thought i would make dessert!!
BBL maybe,
It's been so quiet in here today again....
Well 9 loads complete....one to go. I am ashaned to admit I didn't get Darcy dressed today and didn't even have a shower myself until 6tonight...
U2 looked awesome Vic!Did you have to wait 18months too?
Nah Sara wasn't being your conscience. Just go for it. You sound like I'd love to be and are in a position I wish I was. I'm making my own cards too, just gotta get the pics taken. Nat's is great hope she won't get upset if I steal that idea!
Nat I LOVE your ticker!!! What a great photo.
Well Darcy's fighting pretty hard not to go to sleep tonight :sigh: no dinner yet and I just couldn't be bothered.
Evening ladies.
Had a busy few days. Went to the Melbourne Cup thingy with Kim on Tues which was good, however was not as good as I had thought. Must have psyched myself up too much. Was great to catch up with the girls tho and see how much our bubbies have grown. Was also good to catch up with Kim, thanks again for picking us girls up.
This afternoon my DH and I went and saw the Devil Wears Prada. It was the last session running and only 6 of us in the whole theatre. Classique flick. Mum looked after Kaitlyn and she slept most of the 5 hours we were away.
Christmas cards...... I've created a photo size one via digital scrapbooking. Just need to take the pic of the three of us in our chrissy gear and when Harvey Norman or the like have a 15c print promo on again I'll get them printed. I bought a cute set of raindeer ears and a bib for Katy, a santa hat for me and a Ho Ho Ho cap for DH, so hopefully all will go ok.
I probably won't be on in the morning as I will hopefully be walking , so . . . .
Happy 6 month birthday to Phoebe, Darcy Jesse and our little Kaitlyn. Where has the time gone???
Got Katy weighed today - 8.0 kgs and 66 cm long. She’s growing strong and fast. She now blows raspberries on cue which is an absolute classique. All you have to do is slightly stick your tongue out and she does the same and then . . . well blows raspberries. Dribble out both sides of her mouth and everywhere.
She has also learnt to roll from tummy to back, but hasn't mastered it yet so I still have to save her most times.
Mark’s back is a lot better (THANK GOODNESS), so we’re doing things here and there. Probably drive out to Berry one day and maybe Newcastle another day…..
Vic - I am so jealous of you being able to go to U2. They are my all time ultimate favourite band and my walking inspiration!..... My BIL and SIL are going on Friday night.... I offered to take their tickets as their bubba is only 7 weeks old. Of course they said no... Was worth a try... LOL
Sheree and Wade - still thinking of and praying for your little man . . . . Hugs to you all.
Have a nice night girls and “May all our babies sleep well tonight”
Sara ~ Whoo hoo for getting the cleaning done! I still have mine to do but will do it tomorrow I think (or maybe Friday LOL). Still jealous of your brownies LOL!
Kim ~ There is no shame in not getting dressed haha! In fact I love those days!! Steal the idea – you are more then welcome. TBH I wanted a Santa Hat but the baby ones were too small for his head and the adult ones to big so we went with the reindeer ears instead! I love the ticker too – so joyous!!
Vic ~ A 12 month wait is a long time for a concert! I’m glad it lived up to expectations lol!
Well I’m back from dinner and I’m so tired. Need to be up early tomorrow so I really should go to bed! Nighty night!
Sorry Leanne I missed your posts before! I fixed up the birthday part for you! Do you know how to edit? Its best to go to advanced edit and change it in there. How cute of Katy blowing raspberries on cue! And 8kgs - WOW only 1 more to go until you can turn the seat around! Whoo hoo @ Katy rolling as well! I want to see that movie - glad you had some quality time with DH!
Oh does everyone else get the Womans Day? I'm sure that's not just an SA thing? Well there is a promotion in there where you get 30 free prints, 50% of enlargements and 15 free 6x8 prints. No catches either! And they are doing a great Santa photo deal as well. Get your photo taken with Santa at harvey Norman and get one print free. Then they have $5, $10 and $20 packages and they are really good value (has prints, calenders and cards). Nothing like the normal supermarket ones and I'd imagine better quality photos as well! I'm assuming they'd be the same nation wide - not sure though.
Ok now I'm really going to bed LOL. I shouldn't check my emails right before I'm about to sign out LOL!
Hi There Girls....
Finally got organised and returned the capsule we hired for little miss Phoebe and she is in Samuels old convertable car seat. She isn't 9 kgs yet but the seat has a padded incert (sp??) so she is facing the front. When she first went out in it she was bug eyed the whole time, she didn't know what to look at. Samuel was giving her a lesson on big trucks, buses and everything else along the way. (how cute)
Nothing much else to report (I think)....well it's late and my brain has stopped functioning.
Catch ya tomorrow.
Morning Girls,
HAPPY 6 MONTHS DARCY, PHOEBE, KAITLYN AND JESSE!!!
Up early again today. But thats ok we have to go into town and down some shopping and run a few errands. Briley slept through till about 5am thismorning. She is slowly getting better. Mind you i gave her some food yesterday so that could have contributed.
Vic - The course goes for 3 years f/t and 6 years p/t. But then another year for your midwifery. I thought the hours were only going to be minimal too but i downloaded a time table from this year and found that it was over 20 hours a week. I rang and asked them about it but next years t/t does'nt come out till 1 Dec. I told them my situation and she said that they try and plan it around parents with children as this makes up most of their students. So i will just have to wait until Dec before i can make a decision. If it is going to be like this year then if i do p/t next year it should cut the time in half. I will ring and speak to the Nursing School staff when the time comes. Thanks for your help!! :hug:
Kim - I know you were'nt trying to be my conscience. I need to hear the facts. Thats why i asked you guys for your comments and advice. I really appreciate your opinion. :hug:
I hope darcy went down for you. We did'nt have tea till late lastnight too cause Briley was very cranky yesterday afternoon. She did'nt have her normal arvo sleep yesterday cause we were out in the yard,so i'd say that was why. Good luck with the washing. I just finished mine and now there is another load to do!! Brent is WAY worse than Briley when it comes to clothes. I am forever washing his stuff!! Don't worry about not getting dressed, I always get around in the nude!! Sorry if that TMI!! But i just feel most comfortable this way. And plus i can being out here!! I was saying to Brent yesterday. Bub, you know what we are going to be when we get old???....Nudest!!!! LOL. He is the same. But that is a revolting thought...sorry!! LOL!!
Nat - Brownies did'nt turn out soo good. The tin i cook them in was too big and the edges burnt!! :( The middle still turned out good though. How was dinner?? What did you end up having?? I'll have to grab a copy of the womens day today and have a looky. Thanks for that!!
Leanne - LOL at Kaitlyn blowing rasberries on cue. Briley tried that one yesterday, only she had a mouth full of food and it all went in my face and hair!! WOW, your lucky. I'd never be able to drag brent to a movie like that. Was it good?? I have been wanting to see it for ages!! Glad Mark's back is feeling better.
Mummy - We took Briley into town in Brents ute the other day and had it facing forward. She loves being able to see around. The ambulance told me no to have it facing forward till she was a least crawling or 9kg but she can support her neck so i thought why not. I was going to get Brent to put it back the right way when he put it back in my car but he already had it facing forward and in the middle. So i just left it.
BTW - What's your real name?? I feel weird calling you "mummy". LOL!!!
Wow can't belive it's 6 months already. Happy 6 months to Phoebe, Katy and Jesse too!
I took her over an hour last night of total screaming. She was OK in the night. Here's here routine....any suggestions please as I'm so tired I just CANNOT stand and pat or rock for 1/2 hour.
bed 6.30pm
wakes between 10pm-11pm usually I leave her to fuss for a bit but when she screams it's awful
last night I finally settled her at 12.20am with a feed after cuddling her for 1 1/2hours
back to bed after feed
wakes 3.25am every day and wants to play.
this morning I left her for an hour until she started screaming, by then on only two hours I brought her to bed.
wakes at 6am
That's a good night other nights I feel like I'm up all night. I don't speak to her or turn lights on. I pat, I rock (though try not to as I don't want to do it always). I don't mind being up early as she plays on the bed while I doze after her feed.
Going to get her weighed this am when she wakes up. Be interesting to see how long she is. Then I might see If I can't find me some of those reindeer antlers.....
I've had my Kylie tickets since December 2 years ago, Vic. I'm not looking forward to it as much as I was 18 months ago :(.
Happy 6 months babies
Afternoon Girls....
Sara ~ My real name is Karen. When my son was 5 months we turned the car seat around, facing forward. He could support his head fine and so I thought it was time to let Phoebe have something to look at while travelling in the car.
Kim ~ I haven't read any recent past posts of yours, has Darcy only just started giving you grief at night??
HAPPY 6 MONTHS to the May 9th Bubba's.....Phoebe, Kaitlyn, Jesse, Darcy.
BBL....
kim i was going to suggest the same as Vic i would always try to get to bub on the first squeak so he doesn't fully wake up
Vic - That is the beauty of owning 5 acres and not having neighbours!!! Sorry if i scared you!! I'm not THAT scary but i think you would sh*t yourself if you saw Brent!!! LOL!!!! :p
Karen! - Yeah briley went well today. She loved it. The whole way in she was just looking forward out of the windscreen. She also LOVES having the air-con on her feet. You should see it, its soo cute. She wiggles her toes so they air-con gets in between them!! LOL!!
Kim - Darcy has a dummy hey??? What will she be like if you keep her past 6pm?? I really don't know what advice to offer you. I'm half in the postion you are!! I am soo sorry i can't help you more.
On a good note...I hope she has grown well for you. Why don't you want too go the Kylie concert now?? I was in coles today and saw some deer antlers. They had little flashing lights on them too. Briley looked so cute in them!!
I have been running around in town all day today. Went and picked up mum and sister to drag them around with me. They were fighting over Briley all day!! She loved it but. Got into town and you would'nt believe it.........I forgot the bloody pram!!! :( Man i was spewin. Lucky mum had a capsule in her car and she had to sit in that while we had lunch. She could sit up properly in it and loved looking around!
Anyways....BBL
Thanks Vic and Shazz, I will try that tonight. I haven't even thought of that...stupid huh. I just was thinking that stretching out the feed might make her learn to sleep longer.
Karen, no not recent. Two months or more. Darcy has been turned around for a few weeks now, but she could stand and support herself just holding onto something at 8 weeks.
She's still a skinny minny. 7.4kg and 68cm long.....and she can finally roll from back to belly! Woohoo all my hours on the floor with her haven't been for nothing! She's fascinated with the carpet pile LOL. And she's learnt to understand 'dance'. She bops along to whatever's on. Quite cute.
Sara I'm looking forward to it, but nervous about leaving Darcy with Cameron all by himself....he can't handle her for more than 20minutes on his own usually so I hope she goes to sleep for him. That and I haven't bought new clothes forever, and I'm going out with the girls and I don't want them to think I'm a dag! I'm normally pretty confident in myself and all of a sudden I feel 15 again.
Funny that you say Briley loved looking out of the windscreen. We had Darc in the EH the other day (before it blewup) and the back seat is higher than the front bench seat. She was smack bang in the middle and thought she was king of the castle!
When Darcy and Katy are in the car together, one makes a noise and the other looks around as if to say, "What's that? There's only usually me making noise in the car!".
Ohhhh, How cute Kim.
Have you noticed with toddlers that when you are out shopping and they spot the pram and then the baby they are sooo facinated?? I have noticed that heaps lately!!
So she has'nt put too much weight on then. I think they slow right down now don't they?? I know Briley has. Darcy is very long though is'nt she. Briley is only 66 1/2 i think. Or 61 1/2. I can't think right now!!
YAY at her finally rolling!!
Vic - Yeah Briley's carseat is pretty big too. We had it in the front of Brents ute the other day and i could barely fit in there. I was squashed up against the door. Everytime we got back into the car i had to do my seatbelt up before i closed the door!!! And then mum got in the back with her today and said it was really big too!!
Evening girls...
Well I've just got in from watering the dying garden. With water restrictions in SA you can only water between 8pm and 8am...I dare not get out there a second before 8 as my husband yells out 'It's not 8 yet!!!!!'.
Sara ~ I'll add you on my msn if that's ok? I'll send a little note so that you know it's me....lol @ Briley liking the a/c on her feet. It sounds like you had a busy day today. I hear you about forgetting the pram, I have just a small habit of doing that, pain in the butt. Having Phoebe weighed in the next week or so when she has her immunisations, she has really stacked it on since she started formula more than a month ago now....we call her our 'chunky chick'.
Kim ~ OK another question....is Darcy on solids. Just rattling a few things around in my head that might help you out. Woo Hoo for Darcy rolling over...Phoebe still isn't rolling over from back to front, but I'm sure she will get there eventually. She just likes to do her own thing, so I just let her be. Like Sara I'll add you to my msn, if that's ok. How cute, Darcy bopping around when you say dance.
Nat ~ How adorable is Emerson in those reindeer antlers....I don't think I could resist either. But yeah thanks for reminding us all that christmas is sooooo very close.
Karen - I am online now if you want too add me.
Evening girls. Thought I’d catch up before I go to bed. Had a wonderful night to myself catching up on housework and washing (:doh: just remember there is a load ready to hang LOL). We had more swimming lessons today and then coffee with friends. Tomorrow we have grocery shopping and cooking planned. I also want to wash the car in the next few days!
Happy 6 Months to all the bubs!
Mummy ~ Phoebe must love her new position! LOL @ Samuel giving her lessons on big trucks! LOL @ the water restrictions! I swear people are watering their lawns more now! I am an odd day and it always lands on a night when I am out LOL - very annoying!
Sara ~ Sounds as though you had a busy day. Grrr @ forgetting the pram – how annoying! At least the middle of the brownies were still good LOL. Last night for dinner I had hot potatoes and tonight I ended up throwing together a quick pasta – creamy tomato bacon and chicken! It was very nice besides the fact I added too much grated parmesan LOL. Kids love to play with Em – I have particularly noticed it at my meets each week. All the little kids will come and say hi and play with Baby Emerson LOL.
Kim ~ I hope you have better luck with Darcy tonight. Who would have guessed she was such a dragon from that photo on your ticker LOL? It has been a long wait for Kylie but I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun! I wish I had tickets! How cute about Darcy and Katy being in the car together!
I am thinking about changing the car seat for Em. First of all he is really strong and is crawling. Second of all it is getting really difficult to put him into it the way it is now. My car is so tiny and I literally have to lift him through the gap between the bands going to the boot (hatchback) and the roof and then tip him on an angle to fit him into the seat… sounds complicated right? And the poor kid keeps getting his head knocked LOL. Not to mention that everytime I put him in it he tries to sit up by himself and cries when I strap him back down! I might wait and see how much he weighs at his check up next week and go from there…
Happy 6mths Darcy, Phoebe, Jesse and Kaitlyn!! My how time flies!!
Just a quick post tonight I haven't read through all the posts properly......
Nat I LOVE the new ticker......Em is so so so cute!!! I am looking around for antlers for Jayden now LOL He has a Santa hat (From the Warehouse for whoever said they couldn't find one that fits) it came with a tshirt, he have a couple of pics of him in that but no good pics yet.
Main reason for posting tonight was to update on Sheree and Lachie....They arrived home today only Lachie did a power spew and was taken to Gin Gin hospital. He lost 240g in 1.5weeks and has been admitted to Bundaberg hospital. Thats all I know at this stage but of course I will keep you guys updated.
Well with the weekend just around the corner I might have more time to read up....you girls have been chatting up a storm tonight!! Oh I have another candle party Saturday night.....We are meant to bring a date but Chris is working so Jayden is my date!!
Alright I better prepare some bottles and get to bed, nighty night
oxoxoxox
Oh no poor Lachie hope sheree and wade are hanging in there thinking of you both
i had to update on my dear darling baby rayn who is just NOT sleeping unless he is touching me i swore i was not going to let him in our bed as my Dh rolls alot but i have no choice in the matter if i ever want to shut my eyes again that is i took him to the MCHN yesterday he has lost more weight and she thought that he still had sore ears and just to get him checked out by a doctor so off we go this doctor says ears perfect throat perfect chest clear so no real reason why he is not drinking properly but last night he is cried every time he tried to get on the boob and he was near pulling his ear off and it was bright red and to top it off he developed a hacking cough so back to the doctors today cause i so can't function on less then 2 hours a sleep a night ok rant over
Man Lachie what are you doing to your poor mum? Tania, let her know we are thinking of her, even though I know she is angry with me.
Shazz, rant away my love. I for one totally understand. Hope they find a cause soon.
Karen, yep Darcy is on solids. Just started, though she's not very good at it yet. I have been trying to add you to msn, but I can't seem to get on when you are. Our water restrictions arent that bad yet. We can water before 10am and after 4pm on Wednesdays and Sundays. No sprinklers though, handheld hoses only and no hosing hard surfaces. I have to admit water wasters tick me off and I an guilty of writing a few tickets....shame job.
Sara, I've noticed that too. They always want to come and give her a kiss. Thank goodness the pram's a bit high and they can never reach.
Well I fed her at 10.30 last night and again at 2am. I only got up between 6 and 8 times in total, so that was good. She still woke and wanted to play this morning only due to the feed it was at 4.30 instead of 3.25. Nothing except a snuggle makes her sleepy then. I have the specialist nurse coming this morning to try and offer some more suggestions as I really don't want to go back to Tresillian.
Morning ladies,
So as well all know, lachie is'nt doing so well. Tania and I were talking on MSN thismornig and she thought of something which brought me to tears!! :crying: She said that we should all put it a bit of money so that she can buy Lachie, Sheree and Wade a gift. I thought it was a beautiful and generous idea. What do you all think??
I have Tania's a/c details if you would like to participate. So, for those who would, just let me know and i will email you Tania's details. We did not decide on what the gift should be. Any suggestions????
So today i am just bumming round the house. Place is a mess again!! So i will probably just be cleaning again!! Brent and I had a fight lastnight cause i told him we are'nt sleeping with the fan on tonight cause i am getting a cold. To which he replied "no your not!!!". Its just a pedastal(sp??) fan which is on my side of the bed and blows straight on me. We also have ALL the windows open and its blowing a gale outside!! But he insists on having the fan on. So i got the sh*ts and he is like "your the most annoying person i have ever met", nice blow to my confidence levels. Yeah so i am angry at him today. Sorry for my big rant.
Shazz - Briley has been really clingy lately too. You sure another tooth is'nt coming through??
Kim - Watch out the water police are out and about!!! LOL Only joking. 8-6 times is good. WOW. I would be a zombie if i was awake that much!! You really are having a bad time are'nt you!! What type of solids are you giving her??
Well i better go. I can here my little princess playing in bed. She is talking to her toys i think!!!
Yeah so, if your interesting in the gift idea. Please let me know. I will be on and off here all day but i will keep an eye out for your posts.
sure a little pick me up gift sounds like a nice idea
well i just got back from the doctor WTF so now he does have a sore ear and throat i could throttle that doctor from yesterday that will learn me to go to our normal gp but she wouldn't give him antibiotic this time as he has just come off a dose and it will over load his system
