Babies Born May 2006 #31

Glad you liked them Shazz! :D

Oh Jodie you poor love!!

Good luck packing Nat!

Sheree Darcy does the fake cough thing too. My Dad taught her at about 4 months old, but at around 6 months we started to tell her to cover hor mouth when she did it. Now she just about covers her whole face when she coughs lol.

Passed the last thing I had to do today to get my increment this year, so woohoo I finally get my senior connie hooks in August and a big fat payrise to go with it! Very pleased with myself (And I didn't even get shot when we had to do a pretend gunfight today - don't panic it's with full protection and paintballs).

Well done Kim.:dance:

Ta :D

nat - yeah we went to kindergym jsut before his first birthday and he loved it, just ran around squealing the whole time, the only negative is that that 'friend' who showed up at olaygroup the other week is a damn committee member of kindergym, so not only is she there but she thinks shes the boss of everyone! think i will go back there though, he did love it way more than playgroup. i would love to catch up with you in Adelaide!! Only thing is it might be difficult as we are actually going up there for DH work so he will prob have the car, but if he's on night shift it might work out. i will keep you updated on when we will be up there and where we will be staying. Do you live far from the city?? it would be great to meet your beautiful little boy! sounds like youa re going to be pretty organised when it comes time to move, good for you.

jodie - you poor thing! so glad you are feeling better today, hope it was just a bug and it doesn't come back again.

sheree - how long is the plane flight?? We considered going to sydney which would only be an our in the plane but even that scared me! lol at lachlan coughing with his hand over his mouth, very cute. i have no idea when the tanties stop, im thinking when they leave home???! i still perfer the toddler stage to the baby stage even with the tanties!

kim - woohoo congrats on senior connie thats teriffic!! especially the payrise!

Archie woke up and jsut whinged constanly for 2 hours now he is back asleep after a dose of Nurofen, gosh i love that stuff! hinking his new tooth is still bothering him. For the first time in about a month he has a nice clear bum, free of nappy rash, its very good to see. Next door neighbours stupid frickin dog woke us all up last night barking its bloody head off. the neighbours are really yong and really feral and simple, they reckon the dog never bothers them so why should it bother us, they have a little boy a day older than Archie, he must be a good sleeper! its a little foxie and it just goes off at nothinga nd once it gets wound up it goes for hours sometimes. Dh ended up throwing golf balls on their roof to try and wake them up, don't think it worked butt he dog did stop barking. think my sister and her boyfriend are gonna come over tonight for burritos and watch fnl, nice quiet night in, think sis and i will have dvd night sat night too, so it will be a relaxing weekend.

decided not to go to playgroup today, its about to start now and Archies in bed, might go back to kindergym, he enjoyed that much more, seems a bit expensive though,

Elissa, the plane flight is 1.5hours and I am thinking of dosing him with phnergen.


I was thinking this morning since we moved here on the 24th January we have been sick 5 times already! As if teeth aren't enough to deal with. Cause panandol and nurofen don't do alot for Lachlan.

This is an observation that I have made with people that I am not sure if this is only my view or not, but I am sick of people saying well it will get worse, like their child is so much worse and gee even if it does get worse, why oh why do people always throw that in your face. We all deal with different things at different times and different levels, someone else's idea of bad, maynot be as bad as the next. Am I making sense, gawd I don't know, I am just sick of saying things to parents who have a child older and yep it comes out "Well it gets much worse" Geez louise if that is one thing I learn I will not be saying that to other parents, because every child is different, I will be saying yes I understand, cause yes we all go through similar things. This is not directed at anyone here either it is mums out in the public, so sorry if I offend anyone.

I hate competition too - my uncle is so competitive, their daughter is 7mths old and yep she is walking, yep got that she is walking - NOT!!!! Gosh let her be a baby I say.......

Oh your weekend sounds super Elissa. The life of parents these days hey, we never go out. Hehe. We too, (well I do) watch FNL on friday nights too, we get crumbed steak chips and salad from the local bowls club and vege out in front of the tv. I always look 4ward to Fridays.

I love Fridays!
Go home and get into my jarmies and do NO housework.
Usually veg in front of the telly too....


Kim.... I'm not going to my grannies tomorow.
You off up the mountain for brekky? I can finally pass on Darcy's birthday present as I can go now and was thinking of going.....

Well better get back to work.

Sheree, totally understand where you are coming from.
I think 'well it gets worse' is just something people roll off the tongue without actually thinking. People can be stupid.

Well gotta really run now.
Bye

mmmm crumbed steak and chips....wonder if I've got any.....

Yep agree wholeheartedly Sheree. It's funny that even though as parents we've all gone through similar horrendous things that we still can't support other parents. As for competition it's like tall poppy syndrome - if someone else has something better we've got to beat that even though we're just regular people with regular kids.

I say it doesn't get worse it just gets different. Every child seems to have their "tough time" IMO and so someone's perfect baby can be a nightmare toddler or a terrible teenager! I learnt from Jess that its easy to be judgemental about other parents when your child is good cause you think its because you are such a great parent but in reality its just you have an easy child LOL Erin made me realise when she was 2 that the reason Jess didn't have screaming tantrums wasn't cause i was such a fabulous mother rather Jess was a fabulous child!! I think the more children I have the less critical I become.
I hate all the competition too, OMG there's a girl at MG who you would think her child was headed for genius level cause he got a tooth before anyone else its like WTF its just a tooth, we all get them. (not saying it not exciting etc but you know how some people make it a competitive sport?) Sorry I'll get off my soap box now!

Hey Leanne and Christine, are you finding any probs with the water? We've all got the runs here....yuk I know. I'm boiling all our water for a bit.

We use filtered water, but there are a lot of tummy bugs going around atm, they seem to be very contagious and attack either end IYKWIM!

hmmmhmmm I know right now....

lol Darcy's had a rotten day today. She's had 2 soupy poos that leaked everywhere and made even me gag. Then DH wasn't watching properly and she fell off the back of the lounge and has a carpet burn on her forehead. Then she was in the bathroom (while I was stuck on the loo for an eternity) and slipped in water Dh had left after he had a shower and banged the back of her head on the shower screen.
BUT I got some top photos of her playing with my hat and gun belt (it's empty of all things nasty)...have to put them up.

hi everybody hope you all have a fab weekend
Jodie ~ you poor love hope it was just a bug and you are on the mend now :hug:
Kim ~ congrats on a job well done :clap:

Yep we've had issues with the water of late.
Mark and I but not Katy, so I don't think it was from CC.
We pretty much drink either boiled or purified water, but it's gross hey.
probably TMI but you feel like you are p'ing out the wrong end, and it burns.

Have a good nite all.

oooo sorry to hear of those of you with the runs, not nice at all, hope its back to normal by morning.

sheree - i absolutely agree with you, a mum will ask me how archie is going and if im having a shocker day with him i tell them he been better and they just look at me with pity and say it get waaaay worse, i wish i could teel you it gets better but it doesn't. i always think why did you have kids if you think they are that bad! i agree i will never be heard saying those type things, so annoying and patronising! mmmm steak and chips...my sis and her boyfriend decided to go home and veg out at their house together, fine with me cause i get to come here.

shazz - have a great weekend

sorry i can't remembre the other personals...

Arch had an extra sleep today, he was a bit snuffly when he tried to go to sleep tonight hope he hasn't got germs..

Mmm crumber steak, chips and salad is our regular Friday night meal, and I will say it again mmmmm....... easily please hey, especially when I don't have to cook it.

Wade got me a deep fry today, first one I have owned. Now what to cook.........
