Shazz- hope everything is improving for you.
Lea- I love this age where they suddenly really enjoy playing with their toys instead of just moving them around. Riley is fascinated by wheels atm. I am really noticing the difference in the way he plays with things from the 2 girls, its amazing how much gender plays a part in behaviour.
Have you got all your uni stuff ready? I am actually looking forward to helping you with your homework LOL.
I think I am only crazy considering 4 as I am old LOL. I wish now I had a few more years to spare. My dad would have a fit if he knew we were even contemplating a 4th cause we aren't very good with our finances, he was horrified when I was pg with Riley but now adores him. (Hope my sil doesnt sneak into May babies and read this LOL)
Kim- Riley says dad dad dad and na na na but thats it. According to my dad he does say Grandad and other quite fluent sentences LOL. My friends little boy was telling us what he was saying even before he was born (Riley that is) and the other day informed us that Riley had told him he wanted to have a sleepover at his house PMSL! He also wants to have toast for breakfast in the morning.
Leanne hope work is OK and you aren't too exhausted.
Sara- have fun shopping tomorrow. GL at doctors
Just thought I'd come in and brag. My bro bought my sister and I vouchers at christmas for a pedicaure and manicure, so that's where I've been this arvie....lovely for the races.
Seems like I've got a motor mouth then lol. Isn't it funny what they are fascinated by. Darcy LOVES motorbikes and trucks. SHe is good at playing with her toys, knows the sax goes in her mouth etc, but she loves it best if you give her a plastic cup and a heap of metal spoons and a couple of little salmon tins out of the pantry. She is learning that the fridge magnets stick to eah other as well as the fridge....hours of entertainment.
My psoriasis has flared this afternoon. I'm so itchy i could scratch my skin off !!!!!
I thought I'd lost last night's post....go figure, stupid computer.
You should see me face! I look like I've got poison ivy. Fabulous, when I want to look nice tomorrow. I've cut out all sugar in the hope it goes down a bit....
Christine ~ How was that super choc drumstick?? I figure when it comes to babies money doesn’t matter all that much – you make do with what you’ve got. Em loves wheels as well. He will play with the wheels on the pram for ages LOL. I have most of my uni stuff ready – I just have to sort some paperwork and then copy down all the important dates into my dairy and calendar – you’d think that they’d give you a uni diary with all that in it but they haven’t yet I will have to get you onto my MSN so you can help me LOL!! I’m looking forward to your help!
Kim ~ OH NO that’s terrible! I hope it settles down for you and the itching stops! Ouch at having the baby teeth removed. That is why I haven’t been back haha! Em only says mum and dad but I’m 95% positive that he knows who mum and dad are. He has just started babbling properly as well. Lots of new sounds coming out of him. Lately Em hasn’t been having a bottle during the day but has 2 before bed, 1 in the night and then 1 in the morning. Your afternoon sounded lovely! I must say that is an excellent present from your brother! My bro isn’t that great at stuff like that haha!
Shazz ~ Good to see you hun! Sometimes Em is a big eater and sometimes he’s not… depends on the day lol.
Well Em was a bit unsettled last night but finally went down after 11. Then he woke up early morning and didn’t want a bottle so I bought him into bed with me. He was so unsettled – still half asleep but moving around. This went on for an hour or so and then I tried him on his bottle again. He had a bit and then threw up everywhere…. It was all chunky and gross LOL. So I cleaned him up and the pillow and we went back to bed. He was alright for a bit and then was unsettled and then chucked up everywhere again. Then he was awake so he played for a bit – I looked down at him from the bed and there was his nappy just overflowing with diarrhea…. With a trail behind him on the cream carpet…. Arghhhh. A few hours later and at least 3 more vomits and a bath later he crashed in my arms and is asleep the poor little tacker. He was so sad when he was throwing up. Not happy at all!! So hopefully he is better soon and I don’t come down with it either!
LOL Kim - my brother got me scrapbooking paper for Christmas which was actually really sweet of him. I normally get a letter writing set - with matching envelopes and paper.
I don't think he did pick it up from daycare because he hasn't been there since Tuesday. Maybe he picked something up yesterday when we were at swimming or out shopping. He is still asleep now so I think the worst is over.
Lea- poor little pet, its awful when they are sick, hope he is feeling better soon. I will have to go onto msn regularly now if I have people to talk to LOL! I never remember to turn it on, Jess lives on it!
My super choc drumstick was delicious, it has a thick swirl of fudge sauce in the middle of all the choc. icecream (and I am sure its low fat!!)
Kim- hope the face settles down, can you put anything on it? Staying off sugar sounds very painful to me LOL I have just been up the shops with my dad and riley and we all had a cinnamon donut (actually dad had 1/2 and I had 2 LOL) Riley gets excited when he sees a pink donut king bag (what a great mother I am LOL)
Riley is trying to crawl now, he leans from sitting up then goes onto his tummy- then starts whinging cause he hates being on his tummy. I don't think it will be too long before he is mobile - heaven help us, our house is so not babyproof. He is already eyeing off Jess' room with all its garbage all over the floor, I am sure thats where he will make a beeline too when he can move. The cat is in for a shock too.
I am going to do lots of school work this weekend (I say that now but I am very easily distracted) I bought my folder for my program today and I am all motivated.
Lea - i hope Em is better today, Archie had a diahorrea last night before bed and wouldn't go to sleep, we ended up taking him for a walk in the pram and it did the trick. His poos are normal again. hope you don't get it!!
kim - sounds like Darcy's a good little talker! Mum reckons i was stringing words together at 10 months so it is very possible that Darcy is saying "whats this".
christine - oooooooo i so want a drumstick, the only sweet thing i could find was a fruit box, very sad,
Archie is well and truly on the move now! i have spent the morning chasing him around the house saying no , dangerous, yucky, i feel like a broken record! He is really finding it hard to go to sleep the last couple of days, i am thinking it might be the heat, we don't have air con. DH and I have a whole night to ourselves tonight!!!! I asked mum to come over and sit with Archie while we went out o tea for a couple of hours, but she wants to take him to her place for the night so that we can have a sleep in tomorrow! I am very excited, though i don't have anything nice to wear and im 3 months overdue for a haircut, so i won't feel very special, oh well.
LOL about the haircut Elissa thats how i feel too! Lucky you with a night off I would kill to have more than 2 hours sleep in a stretch atm.
Get some of those drumsticks they are seriously addictive!!! I am craving something sweet atm but we have nothing in the house so I guess I'll have a banana.
Day went well. Busy busy busy. Dr went well. All is fine with both of us. Got to hear bubs heart beat. All good. Nice and fast as it should be. Got referal for u/s. Cant wait for that!
Well he's barely kept anything down at all His nappies are now like coloured water not to mention the most foulest smelling things I've ever seen!! And of course he's as clingy as anything. I may just have to get take away at this rate because I'm starved and I don't think he's going to let me cook - right now he's holding onto my legs whining and looking up at me LOL.
I'm not sure if he has a temp (I've lost the thermometer grrrr) but would panadol help him? I'm not sure that it would. I've never taken panadol myself for gastro...
Sara ~ i could help you at with some places to stay on the gold coast
i think we have stayed in just about all the units in sufers and burleigh heads
i will have a think and get back to you how long do you want to stay ?
Vic ~ uh ooohhh don't you hate squealing i have a little pig too
Nat ~ i hope Em starts to feel better soon if your worried about dehydration gets some pedylite ( rehydrates the body ) into him
ETA: Kim ~ hope your skin clears up and you have a great time out and about

: forgot something
Just popping in to say we survived week two. I did not think we would but Friday night is finally here and I can hear my pillow callig.
Poor little mite Nat. Sounds like what we all had the other week. Maybe if Em ate something like a dry bikkie or a piece of toast. Panadol might help him settle and sleep a bit better.
Well KAty's had a viral infection this week. I've put a bowl of boiling water and vicks in her room tonight so hopefully this will make her feel better. I can feel myself burning up and there's an itch in my throat and I keep sneezing so I guess it's coming my way.
I think I might go to bed.
Back tomorrow for proper personals.
It is a bit sad that they aren't little any more....but they're kinda fun now too.
The dragon has learnt to shake her head 'no'. i guess that's cos I say it to her so often lol. Gets it in the right spot too, little cow.
Nat how's Em? I second what Shazz said. Don't want him getting dehydrated. Especially since it's so hot.
My face is better. Had to go and get some cortisone cream. Not so angry, but it's even in my eyes and I want to scratch them out! not real keen to go tomorrow either. I think it's cos I feel like my sister is taking advantage of mum and dad. Her MIL had all these grand ideas and said she'd pay half, and now she's not coughing up any $$$ and my BIL is so p@%s weak and won'tsay anything - but they haven't any money and so mum and dad are forking out......they've already given my sister thousands BEFORE the wedding and supported her through heaps (and look after my nephew every day), and I'm feeling a bit jealous I suppose cos we're really struggling and I never ask for anything. Sorry that's was a bit of a whinge.
I'm also struggling with the BF thing....Christine please log onto MSN.
Hi all,
sorry for being MIA. Work is really taking it out of me. I have absolutely no 'me' time anymore...just work work work. I HATE WORK...i really dislike my grade and am seriously talking about quitting. I have the yuckiest group of kids, they are so rude and inconsiderate. I come home with a migraine every couple of days. It's just horrible, I would much prefer to be home with my beautiful boy. I even cried when I got home on Wednesday afternoon...I just hate work so much. Sorry for the whinge, but did I mention I hate work
Sorry for the lack of personals but I have just read through 10 pages and am now going to bed.
Glad to hear everyone is going well. Will try and get back on over the weekend.
oh alison what a bugger you got the feral kids just start sending them to the principal one after each other till you only have the good kids left in the room .. i know i'm not helping but seriously my hat off to any teacher i used to be a director for outside school hours care OMG i don't know how you do it ....
!!!!!
I will have to get you onto my MSN so you can help me LOL!! I’m looking forward to your help!
