Oh wow! i'll bet they're here by now! oh ive goosebumps im so excited!
chino had first night in his own bed last night - i was up at leat a dozen times between 9 and 3, brought him in our bed, didnt want that. put him in his bed and walked out - he put himself to sleep. back up at 430 when dh got up for work. in our bed til 6 when evie woke up him.
shes had a fever for the past 3 days and now has a barking cough.
am running on no sleep and auto-pilot. feel like my face is going to fall off...altho am strangely positive....
hi taralee... i know how you feel hun. aston has been sick with croup since thursday night... and I'm running on little sleep too. its like living in a fog. i got up this morning, jumped in the shower, made the bed and got dressed in the hope that it would make feel awake.... have put a load of washing on, and are contemplating baking.... think i just have to keep going, and hopefully if I can get aston to have a sleep today, will lay down then. on the weekends when everyone is home he won't have a sleep in the day...
Thanks V...I'm really feeling a bit depressed about it now - just dreading tonight. I can cope if I know what to do...like when he wakes up, X will put him back to sleep. but that changes nightly, daily...i dont know. i just try everythign and hopefully something will work...will take evie to drs tomorrow, which means she cant go to kindy, which was my last hope of sleep. DH is working night shift too so that doesnt help
could be worse and i should look at the positives
Amid all this we are trying to work out whether or not we should move to brisbane to be closer to DH's work...i dont know...
Tara we are in bed and night sleeping yoyo hell at the moment. Jake just wants to sleep with us and when he comes in DH will say back to your bed pls Jake and he'll turn around and go, but sob the most horrible gut wrenching sobs all the way and cry a really upset proper cry sitting in his room. At the moment we are taking tag teams at settling him but that has morphed into sleeping with him. I am so super sensitive to him being sick that I am scared to ignore him coming into us bcos that's what happened the night before we took he got really sick and we took him to hospital.
i hear ya nelly, i think you just gotta go with your gut--if his sobbing is too much for you then do what you gotta do - i guess anything you do will change again once bubby comes along
they must think 'well, why does the baby and mummy and daddy all sleep together and i'm all alone?!?!' it must be hard for them hard for us too!

moving to the big bed is a big deal, and with a new baby in parent's bed, i bet even harder.
how is Aston's croup Vicky?
any news on Ann's Twins? thinking of you Ann and Ella!
and AJP, she is due today i think.
wish i could be where these nbs are (or rather, WILL be!!) to lend a hand.
Kim, how is Chelsea feeling?
Taralee - how is Evie doing?
bilby is disgustingly healthy right now, so i have no news, except she signalled and did a wee on the potty yesterday (so got her star stickers and a babycone of icecream). but she screamed and cried today, got really hysterical, when she was in knickers, and needed to do a poo. only a tiny bit came out, and she has held onto it ever since (for last six hours). she is terrified of pooing without a nappy on. not sure how to get her over that fear.
speech therapy is progressing, she has a few new words, i think more from going to Gymbaroo than the speech therapy actually. SHe now says "bye bye" to people and at the end of tv shows, e/g when the wiggles say Bye Bye Everybody. before, all she did was blow kisses and wave.
Hooray for Bilby Gigi, thats fantastic and I love your phrase 'disgustingly healthy'! just great lol
It does take longer for kids to get used to poos on the potty, its a bit weird seeing a mass of something in there rather than just some 'water' lol. At kindy, we had heaps of kids who would tell us they wanted a nappy on to do poo, and thats fine - they'll eventually get to a point where they dont like the feeling of poo in their nappy and would prefer to do it on the potty/toilet. So if thats what Bilby wants to do then just roll with it.
evie cries when she does a poo on the potty and usually asks for a nappy instead...i think its better to put a nappy on them than to have them hold it in
no news from Ann yet! Did I tell you I made a lime cheesecake - mmmmmm first attempt at a cheesecake and was pretty impressed! I have had to send the banana cake with lime glaze to work with DH so I don't eat sweets all day! Also have an apple crumble sitting in the fridge from the dinner he cooked me for Valentines day which will have to get eaten!!!
