Happy birthday to Jack!!!

**lilima** · September 25th, 2007, 08:07 PM

Still waiting till tomorrow!!! I can't wait to see what it is. Getting very excited for James. Oh - You just reminded me, I better wrap the presents from Tim and I. Then I will put them out for him to see first thing in the morning. Of couse I will include the KK present from Annika, wrapped in beautiful paper Ness.

Also Ness - Good luck with your scan tomorrow.

Belle/Meg.. what are they doing to us waking so early! Here i was thinking, come day light saving we'd get a sleep in! Now theyre just adjusting themselves early little buggers!

Meg.. oh dear i hope your puppy dog is ok poor thing.

Belle.. i just gave Jess panadol when he starts getting irritable and has rosie cheaks (he gets them every time with a temp). As long as you give as directed theres no real harm in panadol, so i just gave him some that night before bed. Doctor suggested.

Ness.. Annikas so cute with her hair cut. Jesse's having his second one on Friday! His hair is growing as fast as him! Its only been 3 weeks since his last one!

Rach.. well someone got spoilt!

Jesse was the poopiest boy today. Coulda sworn they called it Terrible Twos not Terrible Ones! Chucking tanties when he didnt get his way, he'd sit on the floor and kick his legs and scream and wail.. everything seemed a struggle today. Hope he's better tomorrow and gets a good night sleep. Am taking him swimming for the first time with mums group so will be fun!!

Gnite all..

Your ticker photo is so cute Kell

**Helen** · September 25th, 2007, 08:28 PM

Belle-So sorry I couldnt chat today, had just jumped on quickly to chk an email while at mum and dad's and I had mum and my brother looking over my shoulder as my brother was waiting to use the cpu.

Well Eithan is still awful. He has diarrhea and as such I have had to put him in sposie. He has a open sore on his bottom from all the poo. His skin is just so sensitive that the poo hurts his skin, poor little mite. His rash has spread over his face and up into his hair. He pulls at his ears, so far no temp which is good. He hasnt really eaten a lot today but we have managed a few bottles which is good. It has just been such a delayed reaction. I knew about a mild rash about a week after but it has been 11days. Anyways I better go, thanks for all of your thoughts.

Love

**lilima** · September 25th, 2007, 08:34 PM

Helen - Are you going to take him back to the doctors? It may be that he will not be able to have the other MMR shots as he has had such a bad reaction. As a child I had a similar reaction, and I was never allowed to have the other shots. I ended up with measles when I was older, but the reaction was bad enough to warrent ditching the other MMR shots.

**ShootingStar** · September 25th, 2007, 08:49 PM

Helen.. oh i hope the poor thing is ok. I agree with meg, a trip back to the doc might be a good idea, just to make sure its nothing else more serious. I hope he wakes up happier tomorrow

Thanks Meg.. i love that photo too!

**Visitor7** · September 25th, 2007, 09:41 PM

Stop talking about haircuts, me and Nina are very jealous cause she's still got bairly any hair!
helen - aawww poor pet. I hope he's ok. I'm praying you get a good night sleep tonight.
kel - I agree, the terrible one's is awful isn't it! Nina hasn't been too bad lately, but she certainly has her moments!
sharleen - bummer that I'm not coming down with Heath to Bundy hey. We still might be going down to the Coast at xmas, so we can meet up on our way down

rach - glad you and Jack had a great day. He was certainly very spoilt!
maz - how are you feeling?

Well I somehow managed to get through the day with only throwing up half a dozen times

I said to Heath that if I right down how I'm feeling now, I'm definitely not going back for a third. Having a couple of weeks off now. Hitting the shops this week. While Heath's away, I will play

Sorry to those I've missed, I'm so tired I'm going to bed. It's 3 hours past my bedtime!

**Nelle** · September 25th, 2007, 09:59 PM

Aww Jodi, it sucks to be sick hey. Don't worry, River's only just starting to get a little more hair now - definitely nothing that warrants a haircut though!

How are you feeling Maz?

Helen, I'd be taking Eithan to the dr's. Hope you have a good night.

**Helen** · September 25th, 2007, 10:43 PM

Yep, I think I will be off to the drs tommorow.
I took a pic of his rash, what do you guys think

Jodi-I hope that the ms eases up soon.

**Nelle** · September 25th, 2007, 11:02 PM

I have no idea what the measles looks like Helen, but yeah, I think I'd take River to the dr's if he had that rash - just to know what it is. All the best with that!

**Helen** · September 25th, 2007, 11:27 PM

Thanks Nelle, I am just hoping that I can get in to them. Usually if I let them know it is a baby/toddler they will get you in. Will ring them ultra early.

Love
