Just gunna do my own thing and what happens happens!

AF playing tricks on you then Jols....norty thing!

Jols - how is Sophie's head?

Ann - how is Ella at childcare now? We only have 8 teeth here, AND sleepless nights, i feel a bit gyped - i woudln't mind so much if i knew there was a reason (like teething).

Taralee - you crack me up - in a good way.

Kim - sounds like you're getting good practice, something to make up for the nights of non-sleeping bubs.

I met a lovely group of women at a playground the other day, bilby had decided to go plonk herself in the middle of their rug, and just help herself to their box of grapes (!!!) so i go to rescue the situation, and we end up chatting - as you do - and they had ideas for helping her sleep and also to eat more -

the eating ideas were
continental bread dipped in olive oil
baked beans mashed up
fry lentils and onions with garlic and herbs, mash that a bit

the sleeping ideas were
use chamomile flowers (not teabags) and make an infusion, add honey, put it in sippy cup for bilby just before bed

well that's what has stayed in my memory anyways.

anyway, these were their grandma's standbys and they are all using them with success, such a lovely group of women. and their kids loved playing with bilby, i have no idea why cos she is DREADFUL at sharing and just plays with the grapes, won't eat them!

i am going to try and put a new photo in my signature, facebook link.

so tired, been awake most of last night, stepchild is now here, will not shut up, in a small unit, so until she and dh LEAVE the unit, i cannot get the quiet i need for sleep. By that time, it will probably not be worth going to sleep (even if i coudl) as it will be time to go feed bilby at childcare. ARGH my one day - supposedly to rest!!!!

i'd love to run away. A week of
- going to the dentist, have got dreadful gingervitis, havne't been since early preg.
- getting some mending/alterations sewn to my clothes
- going to the GP for a flu shot
- going to the hairdresser
- sleep
- eating healthy food, nothing from a box or freezer aisle
- hell, let's throw in a massage
all the things i am not doing, but really need to do.
oh, and be able to do all this in northern NSW, somewhere peaceful with rainfall and lovely greenery all around me, no drought.

Practise makes perfect!

Thats a lovely shot of Bilby gigi...so cute! I hope you start getting some rest soon and the food on the menu changes! How long is SD there for?

Gigi - Ella is so much better at CC now. She barely cries only when i pick her up at the end of the day. If she pick up every illness going at daycare, it would be perfect. This month they have dental hygene month where they all practice brushing their teeth everyday. Next monday they make poppies for Anzac day i think.

Those ideas for eating and sleeping sound good. Ella loves baked beans too and loves to squish them in her fingers - makes her feel powerful.

Vicky - Ella just will not eat anything you arent eating either. She's suddenly become quite negative with her food. Always refuses the fist few mouthfuls. I decided to give her a spoon too and it turns out she wants to feed herself! only 1/3 of the food actually goes in the mouth as it often falls off the spoon on the way to her mouth.

Kim - I hate taking my temp but since we had no luck the first few months of DTD I decided to give it a shot. My temp shot up Wed morning and I did the OPK test and it confirmed that i was about to lay an egg.

Jols - what a mystery eh? any cramps or back pains? i get moody before AF so i know its arriving.

Blanche - Happy Birthday! hope you get spoiled rotten.

We just came back from Ikea. Its so hard to shop with Ella as she just wants to get out of the pram and crawl away. So when i dont let her she screams her lungs out.

I'm having a cup of tea to calm the nerves as Miss E sleeps.
