When did you go to Emerald and Middlemount.? You have to drive past Tieri from Emerald to get to Middlemount. Yeah it sux being isolated at times, but mainly due to no family support or medical services and who am I kidding the Shopping. But as long as we are all together as a family that is all that matters.
On our way to Darwin in 1999. My cousin and his wife spent 2 years in Middlemount.
Ohhh lucky them hehe.
The housing in Tieri Is much better then Middlemount.
sheree - s sorry that Riley needs Losec! But its great that you have such a supportive lady to help you out, at least now that you know whats wrong with Riley you can help him feel better. You should be SO proud of yourself in the way that you have handled the feeding, you are doing an awesome job!!
I am cluck cluck clucking atm!
Archie being a pain in the butt with his sleeping. Think i will put him back in his own room today, don't reckon his teeth are annoying him anymore.
Hi everyone and have a good weekend
Hi everyone again. Hope you all HAD a great weekend.
I'm baaack!!
FINALLY got an internet connection sorted out.
House is great, AND isn't so back on the happy pills.......
Darcy's TTed (YAY!!!)hmmmm what have I missed with all of you?
*Riley still doesn't sleep properly and may never be toilet trained.
* Jess seems to have broken up with her boyfriend but she still sees him so who knows.
*DH and I nearly split up but sorted it out.
*Erin is great.
* 8 weeks more of school.
Thats me in a nutshell LOL
Good to see you back Kim - and yay for Darcy being TTed :dance:
I am still working - worse luck.
Have just submitted my second assignment for TAFE and have fingers crossed for another high dist.
Katy may never get tted (more on that later)
no BFP yet - but still trying
Still on a diet - will be forever I think.
Now I need some advice.
I had friday and yesterday off work - and yesterday was so hot so I thought I would pick missy up early and take her swimming.
Katy's carers seemed to be in shock when I arrived (only one hr early - being 3pm).
As soon as I walked in they say, we are just taking Katy to the toilet. Fine I thought.
One of the other kids was throwing a tantrum, so I offered to take her myself.
Well..... When I got to where she was on the toilet I noticed that she was wearing the same wiggles pull up that I had put on her at 6:30 am that morning. What the? It was saturated. Totally. That's 7 hours in the same 'undies'.
A couple of times recently I have noticed that the same amount of pull ups are in her school bag when I pick her up as when I have dropped her off.
I really don't want to be a 'oh no here's comes Kaitlyn's mother' mother, but what am I to do?
SPEAK TO THE DIRECTOR!!!! That's appalling!!!!!! OMG I wouldn't have been abale to contain myself.
Oooh I hope you get a HD too! That is fantastic! Hang in there with the other stuff. :hug:
Christine, wow babe some drama there...:hug: to you too. Darcy doesn't sleep either....
Welcome back Kim! How is the new house?
Us in a nutshell
*TT'ing has started, stopped, and kind of started again...not in any rush as we were waiting for summer anyway
*Ashlea is going great with BF'ing, she has her off days but generally going great.
*Can't take Jayden shopping, he is getting too naughty with running away
*Chris is helping out a bit more but still needs to be reminded
* We are going to Melbourne tomorrow for 11 days, Ashlea's 1st flight and I am excited!!
* We are TTC #3 now..............Nah just kidding....I'm cured of wanting a 3rd at this stage
I think thats about it for us
Leanne: I was going to say could they have been using their own nappies on her during the day but if Kaitlyn was saturated when you got their, she obviously hasn't been changed. Jayden would be leaking after 7hrs though. I'd be talking to the director too, maybe just say your a little concerned at this stage and if it continues then go off at them.
Christine: :hug: for you!
Well I'm off, I'm still sick (not too bad now but its annoying), got a headache, SOOO tired and I still have to pack all of our bags, except for Chris's he can do his own haha
How exciting Kim in your new house. Must be sooo nice.
US
- Lachlan is waking 3 times a night atleast
- not even close to being TT'd
- speaking alot more, starting to string together sentences and much clearer for his standards
- eating is alway UP and DOWN - nothing unusual there
- loves his brother when he makes time - normally just wayyyyy tooooo busy!
- seeing an ENT next week with his perferated ear drum
- Riley has been diagnosed with reflux - feeding gone awful (breast refusal - cries at my breast and suckles for 1-2 minutes if I am lucky), won't take to the bottle, trying him on solids (with no gr8 success), was on Zantac (couldn't get him to take it and spat it out and wasn't working), we are now on Losec (fingers crossed it works)
- Saw an ABA lady last week for some help and hope to see a lactation consultant when in Mackay next week
- I got mastitus a couple of weeks ago
- Tired as Riley is not as content (due to bad feeding and waking thru the night)
- Business is going well (we got Lorna Jane in our shop now, ohhh and Ben Sherman, hoping to get Quiksilver too)
- Tomorrow is the anniversary of that ripper Storm we had last year. No way near as hot as last year, so looking back at it, you could tell something was brewing!
- Wade wellll he is always good :wall:
- ohhh and Riley is rolling everywhere
Oohhhhh looks like lots is happening with us, looking back at this post hehe
How is your pregnancy going? Hope you are well. Yay on Darcy's TT, what an achievement. Good work.
A question for anyone who wants to answer - Has anyone taken their toddler to a dentist yet. I am sure I read from 2 years of age, but rang a child dentist and she doesn't take them until 4. Not that I have any concerns, just want to get acquainted really. I don't think he would let anyone look in his mouth anyways. What is everyone else doing in this regard?
Have a gr8 trip Tania, look 4ward to seeing you in December.
I think Erin was about 3 or 4 when she went to the dentist for the first time Sheree. They just get them used to the chair and the look of the place then not do anything much so they don't get frightened.
Leanne- I would say something, thats bullst!
well I phoned the centre today cause noone is really there when I get there after work, and voiced my opinion. used the words I am really disappointed in every sentence.
Will see what happens - meeting with director if no better by the end of the week
kim - YAY!!! So great to see you here again! We have missed you, i was very excited to see your pregnant avatar, and very jealous to see that Darcy is toilet trained! Here is us in a nutshell:
*Im still on happy pills, but really clucky and wanting to start weaning soon, but too scared to...
*Archie knows exactly how to use the toilet and hold on and all that, however he will only 'perform' for chocolate and event hen, he does a littel bit of wee every 5 mins so he can get more smarties, he is too smart for me, so is back in nappies, as he requested.
*Archie has been getting his molars through and has had awful sleeping habits the last fortnight, he screamed himself to sleep tonight and i feel guilty
tania - have a great trip, hope Ashlea enjoys her first flight!
Archie did something so funny today. There is that Kleenex ad with the little boy and the labrador puppy playing with a roll of toilet paper, and the song in the background is "so so soft, so so soft, ah ah ahhhh". Well we were all in the lounge and the ad comes on and Archie starts singing to it, only his words were "socks on dog, socks on dog, ah ah ahhh" Oh gosh i am still laughing about it!
Sheree: A guy at work has just taken his daughter who is 2 days older than Lachie to the denist but she had plaque build up cause they use some natural toothpaste without floride in it. Its not a bad idea to take him just to get used to it. I might think about it within the next 6-12mths I think. Can't wait to see you guys and meet baby Riley!!
Leanne: Well done!
Elissa: PMSL!! That is sooo funny!! I love the things kids say! Jayden is singing My humps a bit better now and he is learning Eminem "Lose It" now, its so funny except we can't get in the car now without listening to My Humps 2 or 3 times!
Hey just thinking ahead a bit, would anyone be interested in a secret santa type thing for xmas? We could make it a $5 or $10 limit for the kids? Just a thought.
I'll still be around for the next 11 days that we are in Melb as Chris has his iphone, not sure how often I will be able to post though as we have so many ppl to see!
I love the idea of a secret santa between us. Erin is in the BB one but she just wants to get Darcy LOL
