been wondering where you have been taralee. lovely that you had some support for the last couple of weeks... but i know what you mean about feeling sad. look forward to seeing some piccies of your boy. x
I have my MIL down again...woohooo...the girls are loving having Grandma here. Chelsea was going to go back to her place for a few days, but my mental stability is a bit haywire again so Craig thought it was best Chelsea not go, therefore i wont stress over it.

Taralee- long time, no hear, lovely to hear from you again!
sounds lovely, the time your family spent with you.
we're off to melb for a lightning visit to MIL in ICU hospital, she's just had a very high risk surgery done and this mgith be the only chance we have for her to see bilby - IF bilby is allowed in ICU.
so, my first experience of travelling with a child, starts tomorrow at 5am! drive to airport and the fun begins LOL. Half our luggage is nappies ha ha. i'm hoping to bf bilbs on takeoff and takedown, so she doesn't scream the place down. wish me luck!
going from one heatwave +40's city to another heatwave +40's city - i'm a bit nervous.
Good luck Gigi...a bit late but ill be thinking of you. I know the joys of travelling with toddlers...and its not fun!
We are actually DRIVING....yes driving to NSW mid next month to do the rounds with Zach for all the family that cant get down to us. 3 kids...12 hour drive.....eeeeeeeeeeeeek!
Tonight Craig and i are out to dinner....totally kid free. Love my MIL....shes a gem
Shame she goes home Monday night. I had a lovely sleep in again today, til 10am...yesterday was a bit before 11am :P
Zach slept 12-10 overnight...gotta be happy with that effort
Jezzzz its hot at night. Maybe its just me. Sleeping is so painful these days. Bladder is the size of a pea and pelvis is so sore. All this extra blood in my veins is making me HOT!
Awww Ann...I cant even imagine. I know how over it i was with Chichi and that was just a 7lb'er! lol thinking of you
We're having a mini-crisis..well, i am anyways. Since starting kindy evie has just become like velcro. She wont leave me for anything, no-one else can do anything for her. the simplist (is that a word?!) thing such as opening a car door makes her scream.. 'mummy do it!!!!' DH isnt "allowed" to do anything for her. she used to love having showers with daddy and now (like tonight) she screams blue murder and just wants to cuddle me.
We always talk about kindy so positively and emphasise how much she loves going and gets to paint and such, but she's becoming very dubious about it.
Her teachers have said that she loves organised things (like painting) but any transition or free play upsets her.
I know its all so new to her and that it will pass but i am really beginning to wonder if i shouldve bothered with kindy so early, i know this sounds soooo melodramatic but i said to dh today that i feel like i've "broken her spirit"..it seems that she's so anxious all the time now and is so worried about me leaving. i know that these are all things she wouldve dealt with anyway no matter when she started kindy and pulling her out only means she'll go through it again later.
I KNOW all these things cos i used to tell parents of my kindy-kids the same thing but i really really REALLY need some reassurance
taralee. i so relate to how you are feeling hun. I felt anxious everytime I would drop aston off because he would be so distressed. now I have to ask him for a kiss good bye!
having said that - he has become very "bossy" and demanding "mummy do it", and having a hissy fit if it doesn't go the way he wants. Its more about him pushing boundaries then anything else and seeing how far he can go.
Evie has had big changes of late hun, she has become a big sister, and is learning all about having to share mum and dad - and you haven't broken her spirit babe - she is just adjusting to her changing world in the only way she knows how. Do you stay with her for a little while and play? How long has it been that she has been going? and how many days is she going?
I have been M.I.A for a little while, was trying not to spend to much time on the computer..but I ended up getting withdrawls.
Congrats Kim!!! yeah boys can be a tad messy with their poos lol
Happy B'day V
Zander has been in his big bed since we came home from Brisbane at xmas time and I have been trying to toilet train but we end up going back to nappies..Im finding it really frustrating and a big challenge.
I found out I was pregnant again on New Years Day ..so it happened first go in December..I was shocked even though I knew it could happen. Last week I had to go to the hospital as I started bleeding alot and was totally freaked out, there was a still a heartbeat but they noticed a bleed between the gestational sac and uterus so the chance of miscarriage is high. Im nearly 9 weeks and having another scan this week to see what is going on.
Tara - Awww poor Evie. She's trying to control her world which is normal for any 2 year old.
My cousins gave me a new converable car seat as a baby gift! And my SIL gave me her old capsule which she used for 6weeks - I'm so lucky i havent had to spend a cent!!! Woo hoo.
Oh congratulations and crossing fingers for you Nicola. I had massive bleeding and clots with Chino early on too. Just take it easy. everything will be fine
Wow Ann!! Home stretch now!! Good job on the money saving front! lol i'm sure the spending will hit you soon enough tho!!!
Thanks Jols
Thanks for your support everyone, I kept thinking what you said V - about trying to adjust to a new situation the only way she knows how, and that really helped.
She SCREAMED today when i went to leave and then gave her teacher a cuddle and was asking for her bar (muffin bar for morning tea - which she could just live on!!) and then was fine within 2 minutes, so that was great. she stayed for the day, had lunch and naps and was a lot happier this afternoon - even left me in the car with sleeping chino to go into bunnings with daddy (her fave shop LOL)
