Boy I have no life.
YAY for the weekend Leanne!!!! (says me who has been on a weekend since Wednesday)
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Alright I’m going to catch up on some personals…
Ellissa Your poor sister!!!! Your family day sounds lovely! WOW at Archie being a big bed already! I am not ready for that with Em yet lol. That sounds like a load of bull about the fence. They should have to pay!!!!
Kim I am so glad to see you back! I have missed you! Your nightmare day sounds like.. well a nightmare!!! How sad that the jobs aren’t what they said they were going to be :( I can’t believe you’re not seeing Cam till February. That is going to suck so badly you poor thing!
Sheree Was good chatting to you the other night. I hope you’re feeling better! :hugs: I hope that aircon of yours is fixed! Hopefully Lachie improves in the water. The coldness of it definitely wouldn’t help. The pool we’re at is so warm its like a bath. Kinda gross for me actually lol.
Sara Good on ya for focusing on your doula course. Its hard to resist temptation isn’t it? The bed sounds gorgeous! What liquid multi vitamin do you get? I think I might get something like that for Emerson next winter. Glad you’re coping so well with 2 under 2 and studying!!!
Leanne YAY Friday! Glad to hear that you’ve got people going to your Girls Night In. If I had moved in sooner I would have had one here. I think I will do one next year!
Shazz Glad you had fun at the reunion!
Sorry if I missed things or people!
The move went well. Got everything moved in one day which was great. The only downfall was that Em got gastro the day I moved. There was vomit everywhere and I was struggling to find clothes and blankets lol. He is going really well with the stairs. I have gates up but he is carefully and goes down on his bum and crawls up.
Speaking of molars I think Em might be getting his. I can’t get in there to look though lol and I’m too scared to stick my finger in. I caught a glimpse when he was screaming and I swear I saw them pushing through.
I think its great that all our babies are at different levels. It constantly reminds me that they are all different and that if Em is not great at something that its alright. I also love how we can brag about what our bubbas can do and it doesn’t come across as ‘well my baby can do this, what can yours do” IYKWIM.
How sad about that little boy found in the duck pond. He was only 2 – 4 years old. How could someone do that :(
I suppose I better go and start dinner. I have chicken thigh fillets out and I’m not sure what I’m going to do with them. I might cut them into strips and coat them in breadcrumbs and herbs perhaps... mmmmmm
nat - Archie is back in his cot now, dont think he was quite ready, he got 2 new molars in the last week while he has been trying to sleep in a big bed, nto good timing, now i have vowed to leave him in his cot til he cannot fit in there anymore! oh you poor thing having to deal with moving unpacking and gastro, hope Em is back to his happy self now. i agree it is really great to have a group of such supportive mums who don't try to compete with each other. mmmm your tea sounds yummy, we had chicken enchiladas and salad, yummo.
Arch was an angel this afternoon, we went to the playground for 2 hours and we both had a ball, he is such a social butterfly. there was a 7 year old girl siting on play equipment having a drink so Archie just ran for her and smashed his cup into hers saying "cheeeeers!" nearly knocked her over, lucky she was old enough to understand LOL. He also got really confident at the balancing beam, ne can now happily cross the beam only holding one had and goes quite quickly too, i have been a very proud mum today.
Had a funny moment while i was cooking tea. Silly me had my back turned to Archie while i cooked and was chatting to him the whole time, i had the dinner plates on the bench with salad on them. After i finnished coking i turned to see Archie had pulled DH's dinner plate off the bench and was sitting on the floor with it with Alfalfa and grated carrot spread all around him and not a single cherry tomato left! i couldn't tell him off, he was eating alfalfa and carrot! took some pics though he he he.
have a good night everyone
Hi all happy weekends to you all
Okay so this morning I am grumpy. Dunno whether its because I went to bed too late, it's hormones, or because I can. Could also be that I am weaning off my PND meds. I am up and down a bit at the moment.
I hate how I work all week and on the weekends all I do is housework.... Yep I have no life!
But I guess I am healthy and have a roof over my head and a family that loves me so should not be grumpy right.
grr.
off to hang the first load.
oh Leanne i so know what your saying you can have a grumpy moment if you want we will let you but i hope you voiced your objections to housework as your second job loud and clear ( i do every day )
wow it is quite in here how is everyone
morning anyone hellloooooooooo
Morning girls!
Leanne - Oh thats really sad about you IL's. I'm sorry you had to feel like that. And another gastro bug!! You guys need to hook into the vitamins!!! Yep Briley's teething has settled down for the time being. Thank god! I have those mornings too. Not today though! I tend to rip Brents head off when he's home on those days. Poor bugga!
Christine - I did'nt know you were back at work! I'm sorry hun. I must'nt read your posts properly. How terrible of me! So what do you do??? I have heard that subsequent children take a lot longer to talk than first babies. Apparently this is because they have siblings to speak for them. Do you think this is right??? Hope you managed to have a nice relaxing weekend!
Shazz - Do you think what i said to Christine about the baby talking is right?? Cause you have older kids aswell. Ryan 18 months already!!!! Time goes so quick hey. Colby is almost 3 months already!!! Imagine how much of a spin out that is for me! Time flies when you have 2 babies!
Elissa - Awww how cute of Archie!!! He does sound like a little social butterfly does'nt he! Has he recovered from his cough??? I have been giving Briley Pentavite. Its a multi-vitamin which has worked REALLY well at getting rid of her cold and cough. Briley also grabs things down off the bench! Most of time things she is not allowed to have! I love that sound of the show!!!
Nat - YOUR BACK!!!! Good to have you back hun. Nice to hear your all unpacked and settled in. Drama's come hand in hand with moving don't they! We have done it TOO many times. Won't be moving for a long time now though! The multi-vitamin is called Pentavite. I has done Briley the world of good! Yes it is sad about that little boy in the suitcase. I can't believe i read that police are treating it as suspicous!! OMG! What do you they think the little boy, put himself in the suitcase and then thew himself into the pond. I hope they find the person who did'nt it to him and they go away forever!
Kim - I hear you on the internet speed. I have Dial-up!!! I HATE IT!!! We can't get broadband where i live yet. And to make it worse, i pay for 52kbs and only get 31.2!! Glad to hear that Darcy is enjoying DC. I can't make myself send Briley back. I miss her too much. I mean i would probably get a lot done if i sent her at least 1 day i week. Maybe i should?!?!? Yeah i have a Baby Bjorn. I should use it more often than i do but. Hope you are having a lovely weekend with your parents!
Well...things are pretty much the same here. Briley is set for her op on Tuesday. Both Brent and i are VERY nervous about it. I'm glad that he tells me this and not just keep it to himself. I am really scared to be honest. I am scared of how i am going to see her. I was laying in bed lastnight thinking about it. She is going to freak when they try and put the mask on her face. This will make her cry and then make me cry. I can't cry though cause it will only upset Briley even more!! It has to be done though. At least we got rid of the cold!!
Words are coming quick now. She picks up everything you say! Even swear words!!!! We have to really watch our mouths now. She can even say her name now. On my desktop on the computer i have a picture of all the four of us together and when Briley see it she goes through and says who everyone is! Sometimes when she is saying her name she say "Sissy Biey!" Too cute!
Colby is getting further and further away from being my newborn baby! Time is going too bloody quick!! She is almost 3 months already. I can't believe how time does fly when you have 2 kids to tend to! She is lifting her head up and sitting up heaps now. Babbling away everyday. Thismorning she woke up at 5.55am for a feed and then when she was finished she just layed in her bed for ages talking to the little pictures on the side of her bassinette material.
Colby has been waking up at unusal times during the early morning for a feed. Not sure why. I can't complain though. I am still getting plenty of sleep. I am happy to get up and give her 1 feed a night if she wants it.
Afternoons are still quite a struggle though. Colby just wants to be latched to my boob constantly. It makes it really hard cause i have to get dinner ready, tend to Briley (who is also quite grumpy come that time) and try and do some work on my course. I've worked out to just leave the study to when both girls are down for their day sleep.
Well i don't think there is much else to report. Breastfeeding is still going well. I am all good.
Have a great day ladies!
Sara- so glad the feeding is going well, its so much easier isn't it?? I have been back at work since end of January, but I went back last week from school holidays cause I am a teacher. I think boys talk slower than girls too so I am noticing that about Riley too after the girls.
I can't believe Colby is nearly 3 months!! Where did that time go??? My 1st baby will be 16 in 2 weeks AAAAHHHH!! where did that time go????
Nat- glad the move went well and you are getting settled. How is uni going?
Kim- Erin is looking forward to seeing Darcy in December, we will definitely catch up. Hope things are settling down, glad your parents came to visit that must be lovely.
Sheree- hope you are feeling better ad that things are getting happier for you.
Elissa- I didn't move the girls into beds until they were over 2 so don't feel bad about putting Archie back in the cot. we don't have a bed for Riley so he may be in a cot until he's 18!!! Aren't they into everything at this age? Riley hides things in cupboards ATM We found my car keys in DHs motorcycle boot last week LOL
Leanne- hope you get a good turn out to your girls night in, I had one last year in honour of my mum but am too busy to do it again this year. I am going o one though. I hear you on the work all week then do all the housework! My prob. now is that since i work 3 days DH expects me to do it cause I have more time off, it really bugs me. I could be a b#tch and point out I earn nearly as much in 3 days as he does in 5 but I restrain myself!
Shazz- how are the renos going??
Where are Vic and Tannis??? haven't heard from them for ages.
Just letting you all know that I rang Tania this morning and all is well with them and they just moved into their new house. Now the joys of unpacking with a toddler. It was really nice to hear her voice, just what I needed.
Okily dokily,
I've still got internet dramas. THis week the modem cable pooed itself, so I've had to sort that out....grrr my waffle iron died in the middle of a waffle Saturday morning too....what else is going to die? I did fix the reception to the telly though.
Hey Sheree hun. Great to hear about Tania. I'm sad that your mood is still sad though. :(
Sara, I don't have cable. I just have DSL through the phone line. Can you not get that either? I know this is gross, but would a sling where you can feed and still move around help? I have a pattern I'm going to use for my next baby.
Great news Nat. Stairs he'll get used to no probs. Hopefully i'll see Cam in December.
Christine did you get those pics?
Shazz I was trying desperatly to be here - I'm so techno challenged and had to go through a thousand boxes to find the bits I needed to fix the buggar lol.
Good to hear you're feeling a tad better Leanne. Can I donate to your night? I've had gastro AGAIN this weeked too - lovin it. The 5000 degree weather did not help the cause either.
We had our cul-de-sac chrissy party last night. They were so lovely and invited us. Gee I had a nice night. Mum was sad to leave me again today, but I actually feel OK. We're in a routine now, my buddy and I and it's kind of nice to get back to it.
Have a lovely, healthy productive week everyone :D
Hi all just quick i'm out of allocated time for internet (again) glad to hear you are all well
and yes Leanne can we donate to your fundraiser let me know ok
miss you all already
gto to run ryan has his needles today
kim just looked at you chart CD 66 Hmmm whats going on ... talk to you soon
Morning girls,
Well i am totally pi**ed thismorning. I went and pysched myself up for Briley op, got rid of her cold and all the rest, then the hospital call me thismorning to say that its been cancelled!!! AND that she won't get another appointment until mid January cause the Dr that is doing the op is going on holidays!!! GRRRRRRRRRR Apparently an "emergency" came up. How long can this go on for!
Sorry girls, needed to vent!
Christine - Yep time does fly! And your 1'st is nearly 16 wow! Before i know it my girls will be that age! I hope it does'nt come to quick but!
Sheree - Good to hear from you hun. Nice to hear that Tania is going well. Its amazing how much a good chat can make you feel hey.
Kim - I don't know about cable. All i know is we can't get wireless either. Can you feed and walk around at the same time using them slings?? I have really big boobs and have to normally support the boob for Colby to suck so i don't know that will work for me. How is TTC going for you?? Good to hear that you had a good time at the street xmas party!!!
Well we went to BIL's birthday bbq lastnight. Was ok. Some ppl that i had a fall out with were there and it was really uncomfortable. Brent was on the grog and was putting up a fight to leave even though the girls was ready to go. Typical!
BIL has a high set house. Brent was supposed to be watching Briley and she disappeared. Well we found her at the TOP of the stairs!! She had got all the way to the top following the older kids. I was so angry at Brent. If she had of fell she would have been seriously hurt!
Well better go. Getting hard to type with Colby stuck to my boob!
Hope you are all well!
leanne - sorry to hear that you are feeling negative atm, its awful not to be able to get yourself into a good mood, i hope it doesn't last long. It must be so hard to work and be the mum and housewife!! I am a SAHM and i still get extremely frustrted at how messy my house always is!
Sara - thats great that the entavite has improved Briley's health and let her finaly get over all the bugs, i am actually thinking that the cough has been due to reflux now, last night he spent half the night choking and coughing really bad cause of reflux, poor little guy, will up his meds tonight and see how he goes. Im glad that Briley is finally able to get the op over and done with, it is a perfectly normal reaction to feel stressed and worried about her and how you're gonna cope, you are her mum, you will be great, nice and brave to settle her down, your natural mum instincts will kick in when the time comes. Well done on the breastfeeding! i can't begin to imagine how HARD it would be in the afternoons with 2 babies, sounds like your dong so well. OMG just read your new post, you poor things. Grrr at Brent sometimes when they have a few drinks, they just can't see past their own selfish wants.
christine - LOL at the car keys! i fell better about the bed situation now thanks! I would love to keep him in the cot til hes 10, much easier.
sheree - great to hear from tania, glad everything is going well for them. hope you are feeling a little better, big hugs, have been thinking about you often and hoping you are okay.
kim - sorry to hear you are having such a rough trot, great that you and your little buddy have got are in a routine now, that must make the days easier to contend with.
shazz - Gl with Ryan's needles.
We have a little tantrum thrower in the house! i think he is starting to near those terrible twos. he had a sleepover at Nannas house on saturday night and of course was a complete angel for her, not one single whinge and slept perfectly 7-7. naturally i was up with him half the night last night, poor thing had shoking reflux, was chocking and coughing really bad, will up his meds tonight, hopefully that will get it under control. he has stopped eating too, he has become a bit fussy and eats hardly anything compared to the kid who would eat heaps all day long. he is the weight of a 2 year old so im thinking his growing might settle right down for a few months. got the CYH 18 month check tomorrow afternoon, it'll be interesting to see how he is doing compared to other kids his age.
Kim, Shazz , everyone.....
