Stay strong Sara, you are doing a brilliant job! Mwah Hope the next few weeks absolutely fly for you.
Shazz - I remember so well when your contractions wouldn't stop. Geez feels like yesterday and our boys are what! More then a year old, OMG!
Nat - oh did you say spiderman cubbyhouse, what did that one look like? And yep I agree they are great fun now, Lachlan doesn't say too much that other people understand but I really do think I hear the same sounds at times and I know what he is trying to say! I really think Lachlan is understanding well, he will come to me and say more, after he has finished a bickie and today I said well get the container, and he went and got it for me. Too cute! Lachlan is the same with the nappy change, he also screams blue murder! What is with that?
Hey Jodie - how did the scan go honey, got your email, I am sure all went ok, pop on and tell us how you went ok.
I think these children of ours are just way too busy these days, no time for nappy changes, don't want to be constrained to a carseat or a highchair, too busy too eat!!! But like I said to Nat, they really are understanding so well, it is unbelievable!
THIS IS A MUST READ - SO SO CUTE!
It was so cute last night when daddy was cooking dinner and I was meant to bath Lachlan, but then the phone rang. So daddy had to stop cooking dinner and bath him. When I got off the phone I went in and took over. There is this set of drawers that I use to leave all his socks, until I got sick of picking them up all over the house! So I have put them in a high drawer now. Anyway I was drying Lachlan and daddy puts a pair of socks in the drawer he can get too and I said what are you doing and he said you will see! Anyway I no sooner put Lachlan down on the ground and he walked over to the draw picked out the socks passed it to me with a ta, dropped to the ground on his bum and lifted his foot for me to put the sock on. How cute is that! This kid loves socks and shoes, which I realise is such a good thing.
We went for a trip to Emerald today (1 hour away) and I was expecting Lachlan to play up (he just hates the car seat these days), but nope he was treasure. Then I had my nail appt at the lady's house and he again was a good boy, just had to keep on passing him biscuits. But then we went to the shops and OMG, he wouldn't eat, squeled and screamed like a pork chop. Then he spotted a car, so he went and got in it. I let him stay for 5 mins and then said, comon we gotta go now. Ohh no bad move mummy. I was carrying down the mall and he was screaming and crying. We got 200m down the mall and I thought he may have forgotten so put him down to walk, nope he turned around and started running back. Little monkey.
They certainly know what they want these days don't they. And gee if they don't get it........
Hey Jodie - how did the scan go honey, got your email, I am sure all went ok, pop on and tell us how you went ok.
Sheree The spiderman cubby had a hut type thing with a slide coming off it and a tunnel going into it and is blue and red obviously . I have no idea what it is about the nappy change and the screaming - frustrating though!! Our boys are sooo alike! Emerson loves his shoes and socks and is always carrying them around and plopping on his butt like you said Lachie does! pmsl at him running back to the car! Again Emerson is extremely stubborn like that!!!
Shazz Cold there as well hey? Freezing here!
I'm off to watch my tv shows and eat chocolate mousse hehe!
Gee they are both very similar or maybe it is a boy thing or just a toddler thing hehe.
The spiderman one sounds great, did you get it?
Bloomey freezing here too, last 2 nites have been, but then the last 4 nights before that were cold but not freezing as it appears to have gotten again!!!!!! I am sick of the cold. Our split level house that they give us out here, the cold gets up under the floor boards cause it is all open underneath brr....... I am sure that is what makes it really cold for us.
Its cold and miserable here today too. Erin and i went and saw Shrek 3 while Riley was at FDC. The shops were packed but the movies weren't too bad.
Riley is impossible to dress or nappy change too he just crawls off really fast, I cant remember the girls being this bad but I may just have forgotten LOL
Sheree ~ Ryan does that with his socks too oh so very cute tonight he learnt a new one too he used to come a grab you by the shirt or whatever to come with him somewhere usally to get him something but tonight he started saying Mummmmmmmmm and using his little fingers frantically motioning to come here i couldn't stop laughing at him cause it was just to cute which in turn just plain ****sed him off Norty mummy ok off to bed nite every one
Thanks girls for your best wishes for my u/s today.
I was running around like a headless chicken, and Shaun was asleep at the time I was due to leave. So I had to get him up, changed, and have some 'lunch' for him to eat in Ithe car. I ran out of the house and completely forgot to take the video to record the images. D'oh!!
I got a parking spot (one of only two) right out the very front, and made it right on time. The doc was waiting for me, and was really lovely. Thankfully they had a toybox of toys, and Shaun was quite happy to explore those. He was the perfect little boy. rolling cars around, and chatting to himself. I was so proud.
As for the u/s... it went okay... but not perfect. The baby is perfect size, and the heart beat was strong. She counted all it's fingers - and there were 5 on each hand. But she had some concerns with the stomach. It is meant to be round - with some fluid inside. There were a couple of times she was able to capture an image, and the measurement had it the perfect size. But what she didn't tell me until it finished, was that quite a few times the image of the stomach showed it flat... not rounded. She said not to worry, but to come back in 2-3 weeks and she will check it again. So I am rebooked for the 31st July. If she didn't see a round stomach at all - I would be worried. But I'm trying to be calm and not stress over it. We will see what it is like at the end of the month. Baby will be a bit bigger, and I will remember to take a video!
I made a meal planner over the weekend on excel. It goes for 2 weeks and has a simple meal each night - with a shopping list for the menu, and another shopping list for the staple items for the house. I started tonight... and made a stir through pasta (which was yummy!). Anyway... I've never been much of a meal planner person - but after chatting with online friends I realised that I could save so much money by knowing exactly what to purchase each week, and not throwing out loads of food (particularly veges) when I have grand plans to cook up - and end up buying pizzas! If anyway would like me to email my planner - just let me know. I sent it onto another friend, and she loves it, and is just going to adjust it to her tastes & staples.
Sheree... thanks for the email!
Shaun is opposite to Lachie - he HATES socks!! we put them on him - and he pulls them off. He is nearly always in bare feet. And he seems to have fat feet - so finding shoes to fit him is really difficult. I think I will have to take him to a shoe specialist to get some shoes fitted. The only ones he has is elmo slippers - because I can't get his feet into any regular shoes. Lachlan sounds so cute getting his socks and putting his feet in the air... aaawwww..
sorry for lack of personals again. Got a fair bit of work to do, and Yariv stayed up watching the tennis last night - so I barely got any sleep. I'm knackered.
Jodie- glad the U/S was sort of OK, I am sure it will be fine they just like to be thorough which is better than not being. Riley is not a sock fan either, he likes to pull them off and chew them LOL.
Sheree- Riley only screams when i force him to lie still to get a nappy on, he regards it as a complete denial of his human rights LOL
Still awful weather here today, Erin is still asleep which is good cause she's been really whingy and wanting constant entertainment (gotta love the holidays!) Not sure what we will do today with bad weather and no money. I don't think I can convince her that housework is fun (I can't convince myself!!)
Every morning I pick him out of the cot. Prior to doing this I say to him ta mummy and he passes me his water bottle and I put it aside. As soon as I pick him up, he put his hand up (palm facing up) and says gone! It is a real Ghhhhh one IFYKIM. It is so funny.
Also this morning as usual he screams blue murder as soon as I pull out the nappy, but I settle him by saying socks, where are you socks and he puts his foot up. Anyway this morning I dressed him, put his socks on and he usually, grips my neck (I call it a big bear hug), cause he wants off, off the change table. Anyway this morning he stood because I pulled him up and he automatically drops to his bum and points to the open cupboard. Yep he wasn't goin anywhere without shoes! This kiddo can be so funny at times.
. I have no idea what it is about the nappy change and the screaming - frustrating though!! Our boys are sooo alike! Emerson loves his shoes and socks and is always carrying them around and plopping on his butt like you said Lachie does! pmsl at him running back to the car!
