Hi Girls
V and I decided to txt Ann yesterday to see if she was ok. Unfortunately all hasn't been great and she has been hospitalised with early contractions. She has just got home and is strict bed rest but at this stage mum and bubs are all fine. She said hi to all and she will log in and catch up once she has resettled at home.
I sent her lots of hugs love and best wishes from all of us.
Oh i hope bubbys stay put Ann...thinking of you babe!
Thanks Nelly & V!!!
Ann :hug: rest up hun.
Here... I'm crook now, not too bad, but crook enough. Yesterday was a crap day at work and I'm beating myself up for stupid things. I think I have bitten off more than I can chew with this job. Its just so above my level that I feel so unable to do anything right. I mean these are the best nurses in Australia and I've been out of the technical side of nursing for the past... 5 years! I've only done admin and behaviour work and basic information.... crazy stuff. What am I doing?? I don't have the brain space for this job right now. But if I was a career woman, this would be the best job in the world for me.
So as you can see, I'm a bit torn up about this all...
Hi everyone
Back in the land of the living now. I'm fine and importantly the twins are fine. Feeling tired though and have been up and down emotionally.
thanks for the text Nelly - it was great to hear from you.
I'll come back online later once i rest up a bit more...
Ann
Take it easy Ann *hugs*
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ok now that feels better. What a night.

Hi Everyone
Me and DH got some sort of food poisoning/gastro on sunday/monday and I have been sick since..we had to fly MIL up from Brisbane on tuesday night as an emergency because we were both incapable of being adequate parents...it is such a bad feeling when you cant even get up and change bubs nappy!!
I feel like absolute crap and am not sure when it will get better but hopefully soon and the boys seem to be good
Hope everyone is doing ok...bye for now
special sticker day today for jake - he slept in his bed all night! He came in twice - the first time pat dh on the face and DH took him straight back in and he resettled ok, and the second time I woke up and he was standing next to the bed with his head on my pillow! SO cute but at least he didn't get "into" bed with us.... baby steps but we are getting there!
Take it easy Ann.
Good job Nelly, evies still wandering into our bed every night too...usually around 11-12. but her two top eye teeth are coming thru and this always seems to be wthe way when shes teething so i wont expect much until theyre completely thru
not much going on here...pretty boring really haha
well, actually...
Having worked in childcare for awhile before going on maternity leave with evie i swore black and blue i would never put my kids into childcare, well, i went and enrolled evie yesterday. just for a morning a week starting next year and we'll see how we go from there. She's just getting so bored at home with me and even tho i know i could be doing so much more with her at home, i just dont have the energy/time to interact with her all the time and do the same for Chi-chi. So i'm doing it more for her benefit than for mine, altho i do feel so much more positive since making that decision...so we'll see.
Tara I have to tell you when I was pregnant my children were NOT going to:
1. Go to daycare
2. If I HAD to send them as a last resort they definitely would not go to ABC
3. Would not watch TV, especially as a "babysitter"
4. Would NOT eat junk eg Maccas, sweets, chips, etc until they were 4 or 5 and old enough to reasonably make an informed health conscious decison
5. Would NEVER EVER co-sleep
Ummm... failed on all counts. We do what we have to - every decision we make is for our sanity and peace in the home. It may not be what we originaly planned or what society deems as a good or correct decision, but we make it for OUR family. If you are happy with it, kudos to you. xxxxx
Tara I totally understand. That was my thoughts when I had Matilda, I quit my job and she was not going to childcare until kindy time.
Well that lasted 9 months. She started 1 day a week for a month and then I pulled her out... She started Family Day Care at 13 months 2 days a week. Jovie started at FDC at 9 months 1 day a week until she was 18 months and then started 2 days a week.
My reasons were twofold. For Matilda, because I needed a break and she wasn't sleeping at my work anymore and too hard to handle at work. For Jovie, because she wants to be out & crawling at work rather than in the sling anymore. I took 1 week off work when I had Jovie. Sure it was only a few hours a week but I needed that.
Thanks girls, Nelly i've failed all those too! (well except that its not an ABC centre....but i did used to work for them!!)
I have to do it for my own sanity...like today, i just got so mad with her. how do they push our buttons?!?! how do they know to take it just that one step too far?! i hate myself for getting so mad and its my own fault because i know its because she's bored. *sigh* well, i'm working on it.
I know what u mean Christy, i need a break too. i have absolutely no break..ever. they are both up in the night, their naps NEVER coincide with one another...there is maybe 2 hours between them going to bed and me going to bed that i get to myself. so, i think i am well within my right to be rather frustrated and tired of late
*hugs* Tara - Christy is so much more eloquent than me! Hope you can make it on wed - it would be good if you and Gill live close to eachother bcos her little girl is only a month or so younger than our toddlers and she is expecting no 2.... but I know the coast is like Brisbane and is bigger than just surfers lol!
