AJP - get well soon, you sound in dire need of a gas mask to change nappies right now. Condolences on your dh's nanna's passing. I hope the funeral is a good healing process for your all, a celebration of her life, hearing things she did and said that will make all those who knew her, smile with remembering her.
Taralee - endo pain sounds like the pits, hugs to you
Vicky - great that you've found such an excellent counsellor. I had PTSD explained to me by a therapist years ago, once i knew what it was, so much made sense to me all of a sudden. Information IS power.
Christy
Blanchie
you both sound as excited as me to hear about Kim's newborn Jasmyn
my moo goo stuff arrived yesterday, i've just had a shower with the body wash and the hair products. my hair smells so nice and feels soft for a change, it makes me smile. not all chemically like usual, really lovely. hard to describe. i am relieved after ordering quite a bit of the stuff! Healthy family, here we come (or my attempt at least!!!)
a song just came into my head, for Kim, maybe for all of us . . .
" . . . . it's time to begin
let the
sun
shine
innnnnnnnnnn"
Katie Noonan song (love her voice and she's got two bubs, one our Nov 06 age, and one toddler).
something about having a baby, new beginnings, both for the bub and for us as the humans who created and had that baby, it's a new beginning for us too
Gee, that's terribly philosophical for 10am in the morning!!! :wacko: must be the lack of sleep!
-
Gigi glad you like it!! I just ordered heaps of Avado stuff online. Can't wait!!! Also the Mi-essence stuff is fantastic too. I just always feel better with less chemicals on me... maybe its mental but doesn't matter as long as I feel better right ;)
Well.... I am sooo tired all the time, yesterday I fell asleep while Jovie was playing around me, then I picked up Matilda & went to a friends had a strong espresso and came home & fell asleep while dinner was on the stove, Matilda was screaming & Jovie was crying :(
So DH has stayed home today, I'm going to my chinese medicine lady & hopefully getting something to help pick me up, this is soooo reminescence of what it felt like with glandular fever or chronic fatigue.... grrrrr
-
Grr Christy, hope you can find something to help.
i'm sort of similar at the moment, if i dont take anything for the pain then i cant function but the drugs make me so sleepy that i'm useless anyway...but at least make the pain bearable. its like someone is ripping my insides out with a giant screwdriver (my obgyn asked me if i knew what it was like to have that happen - i said no but thats what it feels like and i can show you if you want lol).
makes me want to have another baby so i dont have to deal with the pain for another 20mths
DH took the day off today to help me too, what a star
-
Hi we're back!!
Yay Kim's had her bubby - I got the msg this morning and was so excited, made coming home more bearable!
We had a great holiday - although the beginning was a bit hairy. Jake had been off at the end of last week, then Fri had really high temps all day and I thought it was teeth cos I found some new ones... well Thursday arvo I noticed he had some bites on his bottom from when we were outside... by Saturday morning (and no sleep on first night of holidays) his bottom was covered in blisters and his arms and legs were covered in a rash. We couldn't get into the island doctor until 11am and by the time we got there he had blisters all over his feets and hands - yep hand foot and mouth. I remember someone had it a while ago... BLanchie? and it was horrible!!! We were thinking here comes a week of hell should we go home???? But we spent mornings and arvos sitting in the shallows on the beach and by Mon he was at least smiling. Once we hit there it was fun fun fun except for sleeping... he ended up sleeping with us which he doesn't do and we all slpet wonderfully! MMMM how will we go tonight back in his own bed, good I hope!
So we ended up having a great holiday and on the Wednesday I had a bit of brown mucus... my heart stopped counted back 10-ish days and that was when we dtd unprotected... mmm not ready yet but too late... but it was AF coming back and by Thursday she was back with a vengeance.. God! I had forgotten what those cramps were like!!
AJP hope your DH is ok, Ann I will find the recipe, Vicky, Christy, Blanchie and Gigi hugs - sounds like you are all having fun. Tara and Jols when I read our posts I always have a giggle when ur being silly or self-deprecating! Super big hugs to Kim!!!!!!! And to anyone else I forgot!!
-

-
bummer!! Okay QLD girls, next weekend, play date my house, leave the cricket players & workers on their own...
Or we can seriously do the Friday night sleep over....
Something!!!
I worked this morning & am now shattered.
-
I'm in Saturday is good for me, or sleep over Friday... DH wasn't supposed to play today so he owes me big time!
Jake and I are currently playing with ice cubes and bowls of water on the back deck!
-
pmsl and I just walked back onto the deck and he had knocked over the sultana container & was stuffing handfuls into his face! Am looking forward to that poo - NOT - maybe time to put on a nappy....
-
ohhhh my mum is flying over from WA to visit me this weekend!!
-
that will be nice having ya mum there Tara!
Emelia had sultanas last night had shoved heaps in her mouth, nappy full of whole sultanas this morning LOL
Just got home from having lunch with my mum, DP home from work now so not sure wat we will be doing!
We had a great night last night she slept through from 8 till 7! sorry to rub in but i havent had a full nights sleep in... well i cant even tell ya when!!!!
-
we are all so perpetually tired in here aren't we?
Blanche - did you feel like a million dollars today after that lovely sleep? I have forgotten what a non broken night's sleep is... btw emelia's photos are gorgeous... she is delightful.
Nelly - is jake still an eating machine? I can't keep up with Aston - none of this baby food for me thank you very much - I want what YOU are eating! so it is finger food all round, and I'll feed myself thank you very much, give me that spoon! Going to make some salmon and vege patties for him tomorrow and see how they go.
Anyone got any super recipes that they have been using? I tried the muffins Tara, and they were a hit. And I have copied the polenta pumpkin fingers Christy and are going to give them a go.
Tara how long is your mum staying for? I hope you have a brilliant time hun.
I slept today while Aston was sleeping, and then had a huge snooze this afternoon... i just couldn't function I was that tired.
God I would kill for several hours in a row sleep. I think I am going to take a leaf out of your book Nelly, and get some sleeping Tablets and get DH to get up to Aston in the night... the only way I wouldn't hear him is if I was completely knocked out... something has to give or I'm going to go mad!
-
mum's here for the weekend, it'll be great since she hasnt since evie since she was 4 months old! shopping time!!!
evie ate all of her dinner tonight so hoping she sleeps through, since that other tooth has finally come through!
Q: how much do your babies eat? i dont know if evie eats enough. she eats every time i offer something but i dont know if she's really full... *shrug* what do i know! LOL
-
Vicky - i felt alot better this morning but unfortunatly i still woke through the night my body is so used to waking i think!! but atleast i didnt have to get up!
Emelia eats a peice of toast and fruit ot yoghurt for breakfast (most the toast ends up on the floor!)
for inbetween a fruit stick and some biscuits, then a sandwich or watever im having for lunch and then her dinner is usually about 6 icecubes of vegies and meat...now that she feeds herself most of the time she just eats wat she wants and then chucks the rest everywhere!!
-
Am home ladies....will update tmrw!
Tired mummy alert :P
