OM have you looked into family daycare. I used this for many years and was very happy with it. The carers are lovely and they can only have a maximum of 5 children a day which is achievable to look after. Phone your local council or look for them in the phone book. IF for any reason you end up not liking your carer they will find you another one.
Kim - Wow, good luck ttc number 6. Are you trying straight away? I am a bit jealous coz I want more kids but cant have any.
HJ - Lara is sucking her fists and putting whatever she can in her mouth all the time too, she's doing it right now but I am going to hold off until 6 months before I give her solids.
Hollye - Good luck for you and Mia at the pead today.
OM - Hope you find care for Olive soon. Hopefully you wont have to go back to work full time. Dont let them pressure you into going back full time (especially if you can afford just to do part time)
Hi to everyone I have missed.
DD1 has vomiting and diarrhea, poor thing. I am the rest of us dont get it. I live in Far Nth Qld and it is still raining here, wish I could send it down to Vic where it is needed most. I can't watch the news anymore either, way too depressing.
Gotta go, have a great day, oh and I am not doing too well with the dieting this week either
KimB - I am currantly looking into FDC as there are no centre's in my area that take babies. There is only one carer available at the moment though and because I work in childcare myself I know she has the worst reputation so there is no way Olive is going there. We will work it out, I may just have to get a bit more help from family for now.
Thanks everyone on ur advice! i will hold off until 6mths with B unless for some reason she seems hungry and the formula isnt satifying her - was in no rush to get her on solids, tho was just wondering - exspecially with the teething rusks!
while she is happy like u recommended i will just keep on doing what we are doing!
Thank you!
Mia went well today> pead is very happy with her and just wants her to stay on her meds (there are NO long term affects) and he says i can decide when to take her off it. He said more than likley her reflux will settle when she starts soilds but then it might not so its all up to her really. So she still has reflux and he seen it in all its glory today (lucky i took 5 bibs with me). And... i dont neeed to go back to see him!!!!!!!!! he said to come back if im worried about anything but he gave me another prescription for her meds and said i can get more from the GP if need be. So yay!!!!!!!!
Didnt weigh her as the scales where in the other room and another pead was using them but he felt her tummy and everything and hes very pleased.
Also.. he said not to bother going to the physio about Mia's head tilt. He said "yes physios have a 100% success rate in fixing them, because they ALL fix themselves" i tend to believe him coz hes been a pead over 40 years. And Mias is getting better.. much better..
Hollye glad to hear Mia doesn't need to see the pead anymore, and that her head tilt is getting better, I've also noticed Julian's doesn't seem as bad either, I'm still going to see the physio on the 23rd, so if you want I can still let you know what they say.
Kim yay on number 6, I'm slowly trying to talk DH around, his excuse is that he's getting to old, but I don't think he is, so maybe we'll be having another then as well.
HJ I'm so happy that you had your choice of two different offers, fingers crossed that it goes uncondional soon. I'm with everyone else, usually their sleep gets unsettled and then you start the food and they start sleeping better, hope that made sense.
Not much going on here, will hopefully be getting Julians needles next week, oh the joy. Better go and finish dinner.
found this i wrote when i found out i was pregannt.. thought u girls might find it an interesting read..
24th February 2008 �
This is the day I found out I was pregnant and it went something like this. I was online talking to some friends and I was telling one of them that my period was due 4 days ago and my temp is over 37. They said �quick go and buy a test�. I didn�t agree coz this was my first cycle on Clomid and didn�t think I would be lucky enough for it to happen this quick. Anyway I stopped talking to her about 5pm. I wondered how Matt was coz he was out playing cricket.
I decided to go to the supermarket anyway because there was nothing to drink in the house. I walked down the isle that had the pregnancy tests in them. I looked�and looked. Should I or shouldn�t I???! I did. I got a box that had 3 tests in it. I grabbed a bottle of coke and went and paid for it and the girl that served me gave me a funny look. I got in the car and went home. On the way home I thought to myself, what a waste of money its not going to be positive.
I drove around to where matt was playing cricket but left shortly after coz he was busy and didn�t see me. I got home. I thought �ok let�s just get this over and done with before matt gets home�.
I peed on the first stick�..just my luck, I missed. Didn�t pee on it at all. Grrr!!! I stayed there for a while and tried to pee some more. Eventually I did..I was then holding the test and staring at it� straight away 2 lines! I say out loud �oh my ****ing god!� the excitement that went through my body at that stage I can�t even explain. I cried and cried and cried. I thought this was never going to happen. I got off the toilet and had a look at the back of the box it came in. Yep it was defiantly positive�omg! What do I do now??? I know!!! Go and do another one! So I had a big drink, waited about 10 mins and went back to the loo. This time I peed right on it. 2 dark lines straight away! Omg omg omg!! Now what???????
I walked back out to the computer and told my friend who was still online. Then I called mum. She was so happy she said he heart was pounding so hard! While I was on the phone to her Matt�s car pulled up so I hung up the phone.
He walked inside. I told him to sit down in the chair I have a surprise for him. I went and grabbed my pregnancy tests and walked over to him with them behind my back. I said hold out your hands. He did and I gave them to him with the instruction leaflet incase he didn�t know what it meant. He did of course and he said �you�re pregnant?�. I said �yep!� He stood up and hugged me for so long saying he�s so happy and it�s finally happening and how much he loved me.
From then on we have both been extremely happy about the thought of bub coming, as well as being anxious but deep down I know we will get through this together.
