Trish Chelsea is ok now...no vomitting but now clingy and cant be left alone. Is even hating FDC at the moment. Cries when i drop her off and cant get in my arms quick enough of an afternoon. Not my lil girl at all!

Hi Everyone,
Viv- I am so sorry to hear about your hubby's friend. Scary when you think about how young he was. I am only 25 so it was a reality check for me too. Sending big hugs your way.

Well hubby and bub are still a bit sick and now I have caught the dredded tummy bug. I am not too bad but the whole family is going to the doc this afternoon. I am worried about Ethan as he is not taking his solids or much milk and refuses water too. Fontanel is very soft and he isn't weeing much either. Hope he doesn't have to do a hospital visit to get his fluids up.

Anyway, enough whinging. Take care everyone and hope all you sick mums and bubs feel better soon.

Hello Mums and Bubs!!

Been MIA for several months now....thought I'd drop back in and slowly catch up on all the news and events.

Hope everyone is well and look forward to getting to know everyone all over again!

[boomba]

Viv my heart and thoughts are with you and your friends family x

Glad to hear everyone had a good mummies day! Not much happening here just plodding along enjoying my little man! I think he is only still 8 kgs! So still tiny! Not much interest in food but we still give hem bits to play and suck on! I think his 2 bottom teeth are ready to come through soon well it looks that way! He has been perfect so far so i really thin the teething necklace worked!

Anyway have a great day xx

*big wave* Hi Ursula! Missed you!

Boomba- tell me more about the amber necklace..... does Myles wear it? is it tight or loose?

[boomba]

Yeah Ange he has been wearing since about 3 or 4 months! He doesnt wear when he goes to bed at night but wears it all day! Its loose and just hangs around his neck! He hasnt grabbed at it yet but dont think he will cause he is so used to it! Hope that helps x

[Khaleesi]

back Ursula.
We had a crummy night here & i think M may be coming down with what i have.
We have a slight cough & sneezing, still eating well but extremely clingy & cranky.

[ninja_turtle]

how ***** is this:

my MIL won't mind JJ on friday so i can go to the funeral because....

she has a DENTIST appointment???

should my friend have died at a more 'convenient' time? or am i over-reacting?

oh, her solution was to send FIL, 72-year-old, frail diabetic ex-doctor who has held jj once and visited him 3 times... sound good for a baby at stranger-anxiety age?

forgive me for being ratty but that reaaaally makes me want to book my flight to melbourne NOW

dh is VERY upset and is contemplating telling her today that we're leaving, he said this was the last straw for him.

[Khaleesi]

Awwww Viv, I can't believe how selfish people can be sometimes

[Ursula]

That really sucks Viv......You'd think babysitting her grandson and helping you guys out would outrank a dentist appt!

[Willow]

Viv - that is *****...you have to go to the dentist - so change your appointment??!!

Went into the chemist today. Lady behind the counter says:

"Ooh, she's a pretty little thing isn't she?"



Me:

"Yeah, HE is"

Not the first time he's been described as 'pretty' either...I don't get it! He's the boofiest baby ever! Ah well, I don't mind having a pretty-boy!

[Claire]

Willow - Lol! Oops! Funny but annoying me thinks!

Trish - Harry has eczema, not very bad but it's also around his nappy area and I'm trying to get it cleared up before he really gets into the solids (we have allergies in the family). So I took hin to a chinese medicine lady that specialises in pregnancy and paediatric acupunture. She looked him over and took a full history. It was really interesting to hear the kinds of foods that the chinese believe cause eczema, so needless to say I'm avoiding all of them now.

Ursula - Hiya!!

Viv - You're MIL must be in agony to put herself first??

[~Trish~]

Hi everyone! K is still sick, my friend texted me yesterday to say her DS has a viral infection so it sounds like K has the same thing. He chucks up heaps in the morning and his nose is really blocked up. He is much happier today though after his chiro visit yesterday. He has even had a couple of good naps, I love that chiro!!

I took the boys for a walk to the park earlier to make the most of the beautiful sunny day and when I got back I was ready for a nap! I have been so busy the last couple of days that my body has decided to give up on me today. I went to all this trouble making a nice dinner for friends coming over on Tuesday night, I spent Monday buying food and that night prepping the food (after putting K to bed), Tuesday cooking and then at 3pm DH called me to say dinner is off . I was sooo disappointed after all the effort I went to .

Claire - Have you found that the acupuncture and change of diet has worked?

Willow - How could anyone think your little man looks like a girl? I suppose it's a compliment in a way lol! I don't think anyone could mistake K for a girl!!

Ursula - Welcome back, it's great to see you back in here!

Viv - Grrr at your MIL! Do you know what you are going to do with J now?

Mo - Sorry you and Maddi are sick . I hope you feel better soon.

Amber - I should try one of those necklaces, I've heard good things about them! Oh, and I LOVE Myle's new ticker pic, he is such a little poser!

Alz - I hope you are all feeling better. Is Ethan OK?

Kim - I'm glad Chelsea's not vomitting anymore. Hopefully she'll be back to her old self soon.

Have a great night everyone

[becky]

Hey all!
We are good here. Chels is loving solids! Only has brekky and dinner at the moment but will eat pretty much anything you give her. Although I did give her some banana tonight and she spat it out and pulled a horrible face! So far, thats the only thing I have found she doesnt like though. Both my babies have little colds at the moment. Nothing major, mostly just runny noses, but god are they sick of me chasing after them with tissues!

Trish - So glad that the chiro seems to be helping with K! I hope his cold clears up soon too!

Willow - Oh I used to get that sometimes with Liam. I know its nothing major but it used to **** me to tears! Dunno why, I just felt like yelling, because he clearly looked like a boy! Grrr.

Ursula - YAY! Welcome back!

Viv - That really sux about your mother in law. What ya going to do now?

Amber - Where do you get these Amber necklaces from? I have always meant to ask you!

Have a good night everyone! We are off to a new Mothers Group tomorrow. Im taking both kids to this one so thats good. Its a range of ages! Cant wait!!

[nickers]

claire- just with the allergies i remember one of the girls in my baby thread with Nixon mentioning allergies run in her family too, she did a lot of reseach and reading up and found that leaving solids later down the track can have a similar effect of starting before they are ready? I'm not sure what thats based off but can find out more for u if u like and please don't think im telling you how to mother either it just popped into my head when reading your post. Poor Harry with his exczmea though.

Viv- thats so horrible, im thinking of this poor woman 6months pg how she would cope my god.
but your mil thats pretty shocking, its a funeral for gods sake not a random social gathering u want to attend. If you had to take james would that be an option? i know its not preferance but would it be an option if the alternative was u couldnt go at all?
Trish- Thanks, so far dh has ripped out the entire kitchen, the old carpet and knocked down some walls. we are getting a complete new kitchen, floorborads and carpet, new lighting throughout and repainting througout. There is a bunch more stuff we'd love to do but they are the big things we are wanting to do before moving in. we have about 7 weeks to get all that done before we officially move in.

mum is minding the boys tomorrow and i am going to get dirty and get stuck into something!

becky- hope the new mums group is fun!

p.s happy 7months to my boy!! he had his needles today (i know a month late) went very well so far. had some reactions from his 4month ones so just keping a close eye on things

[alz]

Hi Everyone,

Well we are starting to feel better. Hubby went back to work today after having 3 days off (he said "oh you look really sick. I'd better stay home and look after you"). Go back to work lazy boy. Ethan is doing better too. Still not drinking and eating as usual but is very happy again. I am still feeling sick but am much better.

Viv - you poor thing. No I don't think you are over reacting. I think that your MIL needs to get her priorities straight.

Anyway better go. Lots of washing to do and cleaning!!!! Getting sick really throws things in the air.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi everyone

Went to CHN on Tuesday for Max's 7 month. He weighs 9.2kg! Heavy! My back feels it that's for sure! I also have been referred to a paed physio so we can help get him moving a bit. I have to get on the floor and play more with him (like I don't do that enough!) and help him gain more strength in his arms. The reason he sits so well is coz it's easier than anything else....so M really is a lazy boy! Not daft either!

He's been waking a few more times in the night recently, have no idea what is going on. Not pinning my hopes on teeth coz I don't want to be fishing in his mouth everyday! (not that he lets me) He has been biting my chin again, more drool and CONSTANTLY has his hands in his mouth so maybe that's it, but WHO KNOWS!

Viv What a rubbish effort by the MIL. Hope things have changed - for her sake!
Nic Lucky you doing up a house...I would LOVE to do that! Getting sick of my dodgy 30 year old house!! Happy 7 Months to Tyron too How fast is time going!
Alz Glad to hear you & Ethan are getting better.
Trish What made you go to a Chiro for K in the first place? Sometimes I wonder whether Max might have his back out or something and that's why he doesn't want to move! Though I'd guess he'd cry more....(and whinge less!?) Hope K gets better soon too.
Becky Hope you enjoyed your new mothers group...I love going to mine! Even though max embarasses me the whole time with his whinging, while all the other babies are rolling, and crawling and playing!
Amber Have Myles' teeth come through yet!? What is the necklace supposed to do?
Mo Hope things are going OK where you are!

That's it from me! Off to a wedding on the weekend and need to get something to wear!
BYE
