Hello all,
Sara – a new house! How exciting! That will be so lovely for you all. And it sounds like Briley is doing so well and you’re not missing too much sleep which is great. Good on you!
Shazz – poor you with no sleep. I feel your pain, believe me! I really hope you don’t end up getting sick – it takes so much longer to get over anything when you’re sleep deprived. I meant to ask, what kind of work do you do? I’m sure you’ve told me before but I have a memory like a fish! How is it going? And how many days and hours are you working? Hope Ryan is feeling better… might it be a growth spurt? Or the dreaded teething starting already?
Kim – oh dear – your in law situation doesn’t sound like it’s improving. I must have missed a post – what did they say about you feeding Darcy? Did they have a problem with you bf her in front of them? You poor bugger. Big hugs to you and a big hex on your outlaws! And even more hugs to you because of your ****y.
Sheree – hope that Lachie’s pain is abating. Poor little guy. Is it getting better as he gets older? Toby seems to be growing out of his colic a bit, so I hope Lachie grows out of the reflux soon too. I think that sometimes they just need a bit of time for their guts to mature properly and deal with the milk.
Tania – yes, the time does go to fast. I’m looking forward to the time when I get a full night’s sleep again, and for the time that Toby doesn’t wake Charlie up by crying when he’s asleep in the afternoon but at the same time I don’t want to wish this precious stage of his life away, IYKWIM. Hooray for lazy days! Sounded like you had a great one yesterday. BTW, I don’t know if your DH likes beer, but it was my DH’s 30th last week and I got him a book called “The Beer Bible” along with 12 different imported beers to try. Then we went out to this fabulous place called the Belgian Beer Café for lunch and he just loved it. Hope you think of something wonderful to get him.
Jodie – good girl for going to the gym! That’s awesome. I’m glad Shaun seems to like it too. Do you still visit ozgeek? I haven’t been there in AGES, but I still catch up with Michelle and Briony via their blogs. I’m trying to lose some weight too but I don’t feel comfortable putting both the boys in crèche at the gym yet – maybe I could get my Mum to mind them for an hour once or twice a week. Hope Shaun likes his room too – you’ll probably sleep better with him in there.
Well there isn’t much to report here. Nearly burst into tears this afternoon when Charlie woke up – he didn’t like me holding Toby and cried for almost an hour. I did manage to put Toby on his playmat and cuddle Charlie for as long as I could, but of course I had to tend to Toby eventually and Charlie was really upset. Then, of course, just when I settled Charlie down Toby refused to sleep even though he was exhausted and went on to scream for about half an hour before finally falling asleep in my arms. Luckily it seems that they screamed all their sillies out in the afternoon because they were both back to their normal perfect angel (well, most of the time!) selves this evening and they’re sleeping now. DH and I are trying to do some invitation for my brother’s fiancé’s kitchen tea and hen’s night (I’m a bridesmaid) and it’s taking FOREVER. Well, DH is doing most of it – he’s a wiz with Photoshop. She (bro’s fiancé) was whinging to my mum that I hadn’t gotten the invites out yet – but it’s still 6 weeks away! And she knew that everything is already booked and that I was going to do them over this past weekend and early this week! What does she want, blood? I’m doing my best. I would love to see her try and organise it in amongst all the other things I have to do (looking after kids, etc.). Right, now that’s off my chest…
Anyway, better go and help DH. Hope you’re all well.
