Today is my birthday, I've had a pretty uneventful day as DH worked all day so the girls and I spent the day with my mum. Friday night was good though coz as I said the other day he had planned for us and the two girls to stay in a nice hotel and go for dinner. It was great, so relaxing I really enjoyed it. I didnt want to come home.
OM - Good luck tomorrow for your first day back at work, hope you don't have to start too early!!! Hope Olive gets better soon. Yay on her saying mum mum mummm. DD1's first word was Dada so I had better start teaching Lara how to say mum and hopefully it will be her first word.
1st bub - Congratulations on your new nephew, that would've been so special being there.
Gotta go, we just arrived back from my mums so I need to put the girls to bed and head for a shower.
Happy Birthday Leigh!!!!
I bet it was nice to have a night away from the housework and normal life and feel abit spoilt. Did you end up going out with a girlfriend for your b'day as well?
I don't have to start until 2pm thank goodness and work until 6pm so it will go really quick. My tooth is killing and Olive has decided to wake up though so hopefully I get a decent amount of sleep. She was horrendous yesterday, couldn't put her down at all without her screaming, not sure what the go is. It would be so much easier if they could tell us, need one of those machines like on the Simpsons where it decipheres Maggie's cries. I think I will take her to the doctors if she doesn't improve JIC she has developed and infection since Wednesday. She hasn't been coughing much though, luckily she has been feeding better. I hope she gets better, I feel guilty enough going back to work let alone if she is sick. Ok it sounds like she is asleep so i'm off to bed..again
Hi everyone,
It's been quiet around here the past couple of days, how are you all travelling?
We have been caught up in the severe flooding up here on the MNC but thank god everyone is safe. My parents house floods and I was there when it came in and had to be evacuated with Olive. It happened so quick and was very stressful. We also lost a car in the flood, well we think it's lost, it got water up to the windows. My parents house got water chest height inside and didn't have time to move everything so it's been a hard time for them. We are used to floods but this is the worst it's been and is a 1 in 100yr event. Luckily we have had power, we are still cut off but have plenty of supplies and a corner store close by.
I also started work on Monday but haven't been able to go since the floods. It went ok until I got home and Olive was really upset as DH couldn't get her to sleep. She saw me and her little lip trembled and she cried harder and within 5mins of getting in my arms was asleep, poor darling. It was really distressing, I was crying as well. I know it will take time to get used to work but already I resent being away from my darling, I hope it gets easier soon. It has also made me assess whether I still want to be pumping full time as I would rather spend that time playing with Olive. I'll stick it out to 6mths but I think I will give up then as it's getting to hard.
Hollye - Have you tried changing the teat? V would thro up her bottle, then I tried Pigeon teats and bottles. But the teats fit in the avent wide neck bottles too. I find them really good and V hasnt had a problem since changing the teats. Try the pigeon one, hun I believe they also come in small neck bottle type too.
1stbub - Congratulations on being an Aunty, how nice to be there for your sister and watch him come into the world. Very special. As Amanda said if rocking is working for you just keep doing it, then maybe gradually cut down on it as Liam gets bigger. Babies love the closeness of being in mums arms. hugs
OM - I hope those floods settle down soon hun. It also is never easy when you start back at work is it. I hope you and Olive feel more settles about it soon. Lots of hugs
Leigh - Happy birthday for the other day hun, hope you had the best day. hugs
Didi - Hey there sweety, how is Little Jorda going? What a clever little one she is with her potty training.
V is doing really well, she is such a sweet beautiful little one. She always has a smile on her face. I have to wonder if her first word is going to be Poo poo's as I often heear her babbling with what sounds like poo poos and that what I always say to her when I change her nappy. Well one night she woke up chatting away to herself, then fluffed and all of a sudden staraight after her fluff. Poo poo's then that was it. So now I think about her coming to me when she is older and asking what her first word was. Could you imagine. Your first word was Poo poos. Not mama, dada, but poo poos
