Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't been around much. We are crazy busy. It's only 2 1/2 weeks until I am dropping down to only working 6 shifts a fortnight so I should be a lot freer and able to catch up with everyone.
Sending heaps of hugs to those with the babies not sleeping or are sick.
Hopefully things will turn around soon for us all.

Chat soon,
Luv Dan & Livvy

Sangie - Im so glad El is feeling better- its so awful when they are not well isnt it. Sorry to hear work is so exhausting - I work 2.5 days and it feels like full time - I do so much at home and after school, its ridiculous! I cant wait to be aon mat leave again!

HBB - Yay for Brodie what a clever boy!

Sarah- which sleep school are you going to hun?? I hope it helps for you. Is it a week or day stay that you are going to? Did I tell you that you look hot?? Haha!

Shell - You poor thing - I hope you can get your me day hun. It is so hard when they wake a billion times a night. I feel awful but once I went back to work I put my foot well and truly down and told Al that I would not feed between 7-6 and so most of the time now he goes in to settle her. We are down to about 10-25 mins of grizzling and crying now before she resettles and its been about 2 weeks. She sleeps through til about 4-5 now, so its a big step from waking 2-3 hourly. Its hard to let her cry sometimes though but I just have to with work. Ugh sorry bit of a selfish vent, anyway just want to say you have to do what gets you through babe. :hugs:

Kass - sorry to hear that Bella is waking so much for you too. I went to sleep school with Izzy at 6 mths for a day stay and it was good but you have to be prepared to let them cry a little and listen to their different cries. We now let her go for a few minutes and really listen to her different cries and peaks and we have worked out when she is just calling out and pushing us or if she is genuinely upset and needs a pat and cuddle. Good luck hun - its definately worth looking into.

Dan - 6 shifts a fortnight sounds good hun! Did you request to cut back a bit??? SOunds like you will be much freer to spend time with your girl and us! :hugs: When are you moving?

to everyone I have missed!

We are doing well - Izzy is such a funny miss, mum sent me the funniest photos of her playing with our dog while I was at work today! (Long story - our dog Charlie - Cav King Charles lives with mum and dad!) She loves him - so cute to see! She loves chasing him with her walker and little car thing!

Pregnancy wise Im doing ok - man this all day and night morning sickness really sucks though. I dont throw up much thank goodness but I have this constant feeling of nausea like I could go either way at any time. Ugh - Im hoping it passes soon. I also am eating like a dervish and am worried about putting on weight but I just cant stop, just polished off a bowl of Connoisseur Chocolate Indulgence icecream....mmmmm.

Funniest thing happened today too - talk about baby brain. Id decided not to say anything for a few weeks to the staff at work, i just told my Prin and the girl I share a grade with. Today we were all sitting in the staffroom chatting about another teacher who was induced today - someone asked one of the girls where she was and she said the Angliss. So I turn around to them all and say - "oh Im thinking about going to the Angliss with this one" They all yelled straight away and one said "this one - OMG" So now half the staff know! Idiot.
Ah well whaddya do.

Well its nearly my bedtime so Im off ladies - I hope you are all doing fantastically well!

[Shellbelle]

Oh Tan, that is hilarious!! That is something I would do!! Now I know what your statues on facebook means!!

Well, Angus was only up a few times last night, I actually gave him panadol and a bottle of formula beofre settling him for the night. He then had 2 BF at some stage during the night, I never even looked at the times, and he got up at 6am, so is somewhat of an improvement. Fingers crossed it gets better!!

sarah, hope sleep school goes well for you!! How is business! Did you get your house work done!!

Kass, how's your sleep going?? Is bella getting any better!!

Tan, when will you finish work this time? Is nice to be thinking of Mat leave again!!! Hope the nausea goes away soon!!

Ang, how is El going? Hope she continues to get better.

to everyone else!!

I am off to put on a load of washing, and go to bed I think!! Fingers crossed for a good night tonight!!

[sangie]

Oh Shell I hope Angus was well behaved last night and that you got some 'me' time!

Tan i hope that sick feeling starts to ease up soon. LOL at your baby brain already, its amazing how early that kicks in isn't it! By the way I know a lot of girls who went to the Angliss and were really happy and would go there again in a heartbeat. Where did you go with Izzy?

Sarah you are one foxy looking mumma Good luck with sleep school, I hope little Noah decides to pay attention and be a good boy.

Kass fingers crossed that Bella turns a corner too and decides to sleep like an angel. Sleep school may not be a bad idea hun, is there any near you?

Dan great that you are dropping some shifts, means more time with your gorgeous girl and us of course lol!

Well today is my catch up on housework day if little Miss will let me. Work has offered me another day and my first instinct was 'no way!' but then they offered me a pay rise and said I could do the extra day from home in my own time. So I've decided to give it a go and see how it pans out - so I will work Tue and Wed in the office and then do another 8 hours at home which I'm planning to do when El is sleeping. Hhhmm not sure how its going to go as I'm already exhausted and I have told DH that he better ***** start helping out more around the house or else I'm going to chuck a fit. I hate the fact that I have to ask him to do stuff, as if you can' t see that the floor needs vacuuming and there is a pile of laundry to do. AAaaaarrrgghhh men! Ok sorry for mini vent!

Have a lovely day, might BBL later when I get sick of cleaning

[Shellbelle]

i think our husbands need us to go on strike hey Ang!! My DH doesn't even help, even if I ask! No joke, but I did 6 loads of washing on Sunday and he never even helped watch Angus while I did it. I had to either get my eldest DD to keep him occupied or put him in the ergo carrier and have him out with me - not easy hanging out washing with 8+kg strapped to you. I am getting to the point where I might not do any housework and just let him see how much I do do. He thinks I sit at home on my ar*e all day....hmmmm.... Anyway, rant over for me too!!

Now where is Miss Ash, are you having too much fun with your new man and forgotten about us!!!!

Anyway, am going to have a browse around then try and do some thigs while Angus is asleep, fingers crossed he has a good one!! Oh, he woke 3 times last night, BF twice, so maaayyybbeeee things are improving!!!! Still no top teeth through yet though. Bye!
