Christy that is great that your appt has been moved to december. would be better obviously if it was tomorrow, but better then nothing. glad that you have gotten some community help as well. i wish I could give you a big hug in person. when things are getting all too much, and you just need a distraction from the noise, text me, and I will call you ok?
same here Christy x
It's crap that you have to bully and push to get the help and support you need - but that is our overloaded public service network... glad you could get in though good luck xxxxx
Well we put the foot down last night and kept putting Jake back in his bed - I think I had about 6 hours broken sleep in hour and a half blocks but hopefully tonight will get better....
Hope you can get some help and support soon Christy
Gigi the fish are all ok....the pets in this house have to be tough with my 2 kiddies! I think im just really run down and thats why im getting sick. Alot goign on around here, Chelsea and her antics as i said in the email to you...its getting worse. I love 8pm cos it means i can put her in bed and i dont hear a beep til 830 the next day....LOL
HI ALL!! IS QUIET IN HERE THAT'S WHY I AM SHOUTING!!!!!! LOL
Busy day today we ended up going to a play centre in Lawnton which was awesome! They had the hugest loop slide like you used to see a local fairs and Jake and I sent on it lots and lots!.... prob not the best thing to do at 16wks pg but we had fun!
Lots of driving lots of being in the car - he had reached his limit this afternoon when he woke up surrounded by Tupperware boxes in the back seat of the car. screamed most of the hour long drive home so I wound down the window and he sat like a doggy in a car lol.
hope all are getting by one step at a time... we are preparing for another night of crying sessions....

bilby really enjoyed Gymbaroo today, only two little babies there, so tiny class of three, so bilby was the oldest and acted the most confident i've seen her. She's using the clapping sticks in time to the music, can copy what the teacher does or says to do and will happily crawl thru the big floor tube now. She's very different there, when the older more boisterous kids are not there.
we got home, to find the 2009 ANN (Aust Nappy Network) calendar in the postbox, i opened it and there for February is BILBY'S PHOTO!!! i didn't realise our photo got picked, so it was a REAL surprise! my girl is in a calendar i'm so proud of her!
Christy - good on you for pressing for help, understatement that you need it. that's so full on, THAT much crying every day. The squeaky wheel gets the oil, lucky you are good at squeaking. i would be stocking up on non-perishables bigtime, in case you are unable to access more respite for a while. i suppose if you get desperate, there is online supermarket shopping? but i would rather do it in person, just for the change of scenery thang. Cabin fever ain't good. especially when accompanied by much crying.
Nelly - good luck with Jake's bed transitioning - is it from your bed, or his cot?
Kim - hugs to you with Chels and her button pushing stuff, so easy to get run down when you're busy looking after everyone else, i often get to 3pm and realise i haven't eaten or drunk anything all day, wondering why i'm feeling dizzy and a bit "under".
Ann - hope you are resting and doing well with your growing twins
mmmm... the thing is over the last 4 years I have been known to say "its okay, I will cope" over and over and now I'm saying "I'm not sure how long I will cope" and that is what is helping. To me they are almost the same thing... I will cope, just not sure how long it will be before I lose some of the mental stability I gained this year.
wow gigi! you have a page 2 girl! lol Congratulations - had you submitted pics or were they just randoms? Isn't it great when you see the kids interacting really well - I don't know about you but I secretly breathe a sigh of relief and think - whew it's ok he's normal!
We are theoretically transitioning from cot but the reality is he has been in with us since before we went to Hong Kong when he was really sick and never went back into his own cot fully. I really enjoyed that warm little body snuggled up to me! But it also meant my husband was kicked out of the bed into the spare room and I really want the sanctity of my space and cuddle time with him back. Realistically we really don't have a sex life atm lol so it definitely isn't for that!!! hahahaha So in answer Gigi it is really from our bed. He was going to bed in his bed but coming into us from 11pm and staying put for the duration.
Last night was just the one wake up - once we get past the waking up we'll work on him going to sleep without one of us sitting in his room or next to him. The problem is when DH does the putting to bed routine he ends up going to sleep with jake reading so kind of defeats the purpose lol.
WE ARE GOING TO A PARTY TOMORROW!! WOOHOOOOOO!!!!! Breathe V we'll be there to help relieve some pressure xxx
keep squeaking Christy unfortunately it's the only way you get help fast.
Happy Birthday Xander and Zander!
