Hi everyone...I'm back! Happy Mothers Day for yesterday. I did come in last night and posted, then my comp froze and I lost everything...grrrr annoying!

Willow Happy birthday for the 9th....My birthday was the 8th!
Viv Hope you had a good Mothers Day...Hope JJ behaved himself!!
Kim CONGRATS!!! You are amazing!

Well....I think Max is now officially teething again! He is munching on his hand constantly! Waking every 3 hours in the night and is generally grizzly and irratable! Not fun! He is still majority cute though He is still not rolling and today he's 7 months! What a slacker! We are off to swimming very soon so I'm hoping he will have a nice long sleep so I can get a few things done around the house. It's feeling rather gross at the moment.

The kid is loving his solids....has only screwed his nose up, gagged and spewed at avocado and parsnip so far! He Luuurves Mango...too bad they cost $4.95 each!

Well...must go...he's just had a cat nap!

Hi everyone,
Well it sounds like you all had a great Mummy's Day. Well after a good start my day went downhill fast. We went out for coffee which was nice and went to MILs to give her some flowers. They were expecting us for lunch but we didn't know that!! So I was a little cranky that we were expected to put the rest of our plans on hold for them. Anyway hubby was sweet and told them that we had plans so we weren't going to stay. Went home and had a boring salad (groan at docs strict diet) and watched a movie with a screamy baby in the background. Then hubby got sick and spent the rest of the night throwing up. Ethan slept from 9.30 till 5.45 so he was good but hubby spent the night sighing and tossing around so I got no sleep and then had to get up and look after Ethan and him.

Question - Ethan has had a bit of diarrhea. Had 2 small bits on Saturday and then a bit again today. Not sure if I should take him to the doc or not. What can I do about it. He is a bit whingy. We changed him from lactose free formula to cows milk formula about 2 weeks ago. Surely he wouldn't be reacting now after 2 weeks of taking it fine would he?

Anyway have a great day everyone.

So much to catch up on in here!

Hope everyone had a wonderful first Mother's Day with your bubs!
We spent the day at Werribee Zoo, which was really nice, even though Tahlia fell asleep on the bus tour and missed out on the animals coming up really close to the bus. Later on in the day when we were walking around she was looking at the animals though.... the cheetah come up really close to her (on the other side of a glass window) and she was smiling at it.. so cute. I'll have to put some pics up on FB

Kim - Congrats!

Willow - hope you had a great birthday

Alz - sorry to hear about your horrible day

Hope everyone else is well and that the bubs are behaving themselves

hey all

bit of a marathon post coming up, i think.

so, saturday afternoon dh's phone beeped - turns out a dear friend of ours (aged 29) died on friday night. he was in hospital with pneumonia, they discovered by accident that he had testicular cancer and had one week to live. he didn't even make it another day. worst of worst, his lovely young gf is 6 months UTD and now has to raise that beautiful little boy without a daddy. he was a cool dude and it has just ripped DH to pieces.

saturday night, he downed 3/4 of a bottle of grants, dressed up in the clothes (including coat) that he used to wear out with his mate back in those days, and hung out at the letterbox in the dark, drinking their scotch, smoking their cigars under the stars. i just went in and out to check on him but it was nice for him to give joely a send-off the way he would have wanted.

dh came to bed but lasted about 2 minutes until he hurled up all the scotch (not a big drinker these days). under any other circumstances i'd be dark about my husband having a big p!ssed hurl on mother's day eve, but yanno, i figure, if you can't get thoroughly blind and hurl when i good friend dies, when can you?? i put him in the shower and that was that.

mother's day wasn't exactly any fun because of the situation. that said, james bought me some new walking shoes so i can take him for faster walks, and a new cashmer jumper and pashmina for winter. dh made me french toast with berry compote :drool:

then later i made him a fry-up because you can imagine how rank he was feeling after the scotch incident.

james made me a huge card. he is very good with textas... amazing actually. i thought he'd be flat out doing anything but he scrawled all over it, and himself, and his suit.

he hates real food, btw. he loves cereal and anything to do with EBM but despises all recommended foods for kiddies his age. meh.

his new move is 'downward facing dog'. he does it all the time. still does the dead-leg crawl but it won't be long. i think he's sleeping better for having cracked at least a partial crawl. i think it was doing his head in.

his nap structure has changed. he does 3 hours awake, 2 hours asleep now, with me occasionally helping him between sleep cycles.

we're working on the night time thing..

hope you all had a great mother's day.

i've got that funeral on friday so i guess i'll just be working myself up for that...

Oh Viv that is so sad, I am so sorry to hear of the sudden loss of your friend . I have tears in my eyes thinking of him and his family. Life is so unfair...

[~kellie~]

Viv - I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, that is so sad

[becky]

Yeah so sorry to hear Viv. That must be devestating for you all - especially your hubby. And his poor wife. I feel devestated for her. There would be no worse timing for her - the poor thing. Makes ya think how lucky we are.
