can I just say I love everyone's photos, and how they all change and we can see the cuties as they grow up.... makes me feel like a part of a community / family!
sorry if that's too gushy but that's just me!
They are all gorgeous. They are such little people each so different. Ella love hanging out with her little buddies from mother's group. She's grown up with them and their mothers. Such a privilege watching them grow. :)
Might check out our nearest Aldi for that toy ;) Ella loves her instruments and DH plays his guitar and she loves it.
We'll the big move is tomorrow. Fingers crossed things go well. So much needs to happen....

oh AJP I saw those in the catalogue and was telling MAtilda's FDC carer to have a look for them, we have half of the intruments already, but may have to get the set because it looks pretty good.
goodluck ann and have fun:P
NELLY we do make cute bubs!!!!
CHRISTY, pretty happy with the instruments!!! sophie loves to chew on them!!
*sigh* you know I do jinx myself....
everytime I celebrate sleeping we have a crap night.... not only Jake waking (only twice) but DH has flu and has been coughing and hacking all night.
gawd!! I have a girly shopping night tonight with my GF whose bridesmaid I am in 5 weeks so need to nap this arvo - have wasted this morning's nap time surfing the net.... bad nelly!
how are we all today?
Whew! I think I am finally coming back to the land of the living. Our old house is still a pig sty (?) and this house is a mess but the end is finally in sight!!
Evies back to waking every 2 hours despite going well on her solids. She just keeps rolling over and waking herself up in the night, i try not to feed to sleep but she just gets more and more awake so i end up feeding her for my own sanity and sleep's sake.
DH has finally said i dont need to go back to work! woo-hoo! so i guess when i get up in the night i dont have to worry about going to work the next day like a zombie. not suggested being at home isnt work...actually Dr Phil said being a stay-at-home mum is the equivalent of working 2 full time jobs. gotta love that guy.
anywhos, back to unpacking and such. madam's meant to be having a sleep but i can hear her playing away in her cot *sigh and count to 10*
BTW are those instruments at Aldi already? I turned down the job at aldi so i'll have to go to a different store. *teehee*
TARA i had a beer for us last night:P!!! glad the move went ok and that you dont have to work!!!!!!!!!!
HHHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where is everyone???????
TARA had another beer tonight!!!
Im here in Dumb Blondeville...LOL
I have an evil child (one on the the inside and outside it appears). Chels wont sleep, but is happy with her bottles and our chips we had for dinner!! Chips or potatoes is all thats on her menu atm!!
A beer tonight sounds bloody good Jols.... hope u enjoyed it!
yuck beer!
LOL Kim... dumb blondeville!! classic
i was just sooooooo busy today had a tupperware party, went for 4 hours arghhh :S then had to go shops get a present for my cousins 2nd birthday tomoz (nother busy day!!) ended up staying at the shops for almost 3 hours buying stuff for me ahaha! DP was a bit peeved he didnt get anything!
had to take Emelia to docs yesterday she had a rash all over her body, its slowly going away..doc said just a viral thing...should go in a few days.
hope everyone is having a good weekend...im ready for bed im a zombie!
oh blanchie, i just saw your blog, SO CUTE, the youtube vid of Emelia playing, the photos of her piggytails, in the cot, what a cute bub you have!
AJP, can you have a spiced mead for me please, it's mighty chilly tonight, and that is my fancy, not really into beer (too gassy for my tum).
Taralee, you sound relieved about not going back to paid work. I have given the solids a bit of a rest, i'm giving bilby solids once a day now, trying her with a savoury taste e.g today pureed peas and parsnip, and if she doens' tlike that, (which she didn't today - wot a surprise - not), then i resort to pureed fruit with a bit of banana custard (the only thing she wolfs down happily).
i got one of those mesh rattle things that you can put steamed food inside too. So i'm just going to take it down a bit, take the pressure off us both, reduce the times i offer, not stress about it, and keep it lowkey, so we don't both get stressed out of our tree.
Still have to face the parenting support worker and her Window of Opportunity re Solids Theory, but oh well, what can she do? shoot me for failing?
Hope EMelia's rash clears up soon Blanchie.
we are moving furniture around in our bedroom, so the bassinet is out, and the cot will be in (hopefully by tomorrow). Nine months and she will finally be in the cot next to our bed. With so many feeds thru the night, i can't imagine her not being in our room. Poor dh is still on the sofa most nights, not enough room for all three of us in the bed, when i'm feeding her. (and i often fall asleep doing it). I miss having dh in the bed.
Gigi there have been sooo many mods whose children haven't taken to solids until closer to the 12 month mark... don't listen, when that little replay of the "opportunity for solids" starts to play, hit DELETE!!!!!
Ok I need some serious advice cos i think i am about to lose it. these tears are right on the edge.
evie just will not sleep. there is no way in hell she will go down for naps at the moment. yesterday i got so frustrated i walked out and she sobbed so hard she nearly threw up then when i went in to comfort her she calmed down but 10mins later she would occassionally whimper.
I got up at 3:30 this morning to her and realised it was the 5th time.
I am so sleep deprived and at the end of my rope. i have no idea what to do and i was going so well, but i really worry i am on the brink of PND. I just dont know what to do. I put her to sleep just now by leaning over the side rail so my top half was lying in the cot with her. my throat hurt from sh'ing so much. i feel like the only one in the world with a baby that doesnt sleep - i know i'm not - but it feels that way
aww tara your poor possum :( i really dont know what to suggest, except maybe trying sleep school, have you spoken to you MCHN?
the MCHN i went to last week said 'oh just let her cry herself to sleep'. nice one, chump!
oh Tara *hugs* matey anyone who suffered sleep deprivation to that extent for this long a period of time would feel like they were loosing it. I barely survived 6 months of it with Matilda. We are still up twice a night, but its nothing compared to what you are going through.
MCHN's aren't always helpful. Have you tried some homeopathic remedies such as bach flower rescue remedy? or the brauer calm homeopathic drops? I found they helped us get a bit more rest, not the end all be all, but better. How about packing up you & Evie and coming to stay here a few nights?? Its loud & chaotic but you can have some help during the days....
Just a thought ;) . If you can come tomorrow, plan on staying all day & maybe you can have some rest.... often babies entertain each other...
*hugs*
awwww christy thats so sweet of you to help tara out!!!!!
