Ange - do you know where you're staying yet? I'm able to meet up on Sunday anywhere, anytime or Monday morning if you are in the City (I can take a longggggg lunch break).
L's got a bit of a temp. They've dosed him up on Panadol at childcare and he seems to be better now. Poor thing's a bit snotty at the moment. Since he's been at daycare he has had a cold practically the whole time
Booo to me...You guys all get to see eachother and I just get to hang out west...boring!!
So...I had a bit of a 'bad mother breakdown' this morning. Felt a bit over it and worried that I was stumping Max's growth or something which is why he's not moving. Like nothing I do can motivate him etc. etc. Felt rubbish, but I'm over it now! I have come to realise that Max's motto in his life (as short as it is) is already 'Meh'...or 'whatever' I can hear him telling me to 'take a chill pill' in the future! I am clearly a control freak!
Mo Glad to hear things are going well... Saffi I reckon teeth are coming for you....never ending cold....their immunity drops a bit while teething (so the doc told me) so maybe that is why he's not shaking it....OR it could just be childcare! Max had this when he got his two bottom teeth, including temp. I thought he was teething again the other day (with spew and temp) but nothing has come. I'm guessing tops take a bit longer to bust through the skin! His sleeping is all over the place, so it's a big guessing game! Amber Glad to hear the lump was just a blocked duct....would have been scary! Trish How is Keiran moving these days. I still can't get Max to bend his knees without seriously complaining! I checked out your website...you are a bit special aren't ya! Ange I want to get Max a wooden trolley, but I know he will just look at me and say 'what do you want me to do with THAT!?' Glad the spewing is over....it was gross!
Happy 9 and 10 months to all the bubbas out there!
So, who will be organising a doozy of a 1st birthday party and who is just having something small and casual. A friend of mine is having a pirate theme party...which started out small and now she is excited and going nuts! I'm not sure if I'm going to bother too much for Max as we are going over to England in November so will get to catch up with my cousin who also has an Octobub (the 19th) and we are going to have another joint birthday party for our boys! So excited about going away....but also a bit scared!
Aww Julia, Hope your feeling better! i am sure Max will crawl soon! I wish Perth wasn't so far away i would come visit for sure! Let me know how you go in the UK! We are thinking of maybe going next Christmas, so i want to see how you go with having Max with you! We are having a party for Myles in a park with relatives and friends, so it probably will be big cause i have a huge family! Any excuse for a party!
Saffi hope L gets better soon! We have just had the week from hell with Myles being sick! He is getting better now though!
Well i am off to lunch with some girlfriends without Myles! It will be the first time i have seen them alone since he came along! I am really excited but feel kinda guilty for being excited to be alone iykwim!
Hooray for the weekend! I love having DH home! Next weekend he is taking the caravan away for the weekend with our BIL, Joel's going too and his cousin, I'm sure they'll have a great time (although I'm sure it will be freezing!).
K is such a bottomless pit, there is nothing he won't eat! It's so handy, I put him in his highchair with something to eat and I can get heaps of stuff done! He usually grizzles if I try hang out washing or clean something, but my new secret weapon is food LOL.
Oh, and his new cute trick is he waves his arms in the air while he is sitting up. It's so adorable, he'll do it for ages and make me laugh.
Julia - K isn't moving much more. He can roll around everywhere, but generally doesn't want to. He loves to sit up and play with toys, he'll do that for ages. I've been getting him on his knees everyday, but now he knows my new trick he fights it and goes completely stiff. The chiro suggested holding him up so he squats and then bend him over so he is on his hands and knees, this worked great the first few goes, but now he's too smart! I came to the conclusion recently that he just doesn't wanna crawl. I'm not going to push it too much, just keep trying to encourage him gently. I think if K was my first baby I would be stressed about his lack of movement too, but because Joel did everything really quickly it makes it easier to deal with a slower bub. Max & K will get there! I bet it happens at the same time. I had a mum tell me her DD didn't crawl until 12 months and then walked really soon after .
Saffi - Poor L, I hope he gets better soon. Daycare is annoying like that with all those germs. Joel constantly has a cold now he's in kinder.
Ange - A trip to QLD sounds nice, I'd love to escape Melbourne at the moment!
Amber - Happy 10 months to Myles for yesterday! He will be one before you know it!! I'm glad that lump has gone, that must be a relief. I hope you got a nice rest when your mum came over yesterday. Have a great girls day out today!
Becky - I give K vegemite on wholemeal toast and cut it into three sticks for lunch some days. He loves to eat it by himself. He also loves rice cakes.
Havn't booked hotel, but liking the medina exec. Can't beat a full buffet breakfast! Particulalry as DH will be well hungo ver after the bucks.
Julia- Think we'll have a BBQ type thing with a few friends, nothing too massive, more of an excuse to get together really. Not like she'll remember! I've been to a few with animal farms, jumping castles, clowns, private theatre shows, the works! But i think we'll just have a casual thing here. When Max is running around, you're going to look back and laugh at yourself for ever worrying about him. But mumma stress and worry is unfortunately just a part of our lives now.
Trish- we have a bit of a bottomless pit here too. I sometimes worry she eats too much. Her belly is massive after dinner. i often wonder how she sits and stands up!
Off to Chinese Dr for some acupuncture, hope it works on the nausea!
Hey guys! I am back from Townsville, sob, but am ready to make a real go of it out here! In 4 weeks I will doing a job that I love so that will make it just that little easier for me.
I have only had a quick scan of all the posts and big hugs to all those teething bubbies. Wow on all the developments that can happen in a week!
Not much has changed here. Caitlyns top two teeth are trying to poke their way through and I thought they were giving her a lot of grief over the past week cause we have had some SHOCKING sleeps. Almost like a newborn!! Was horrible. First nigh there she woke at 11 and wouldnt go back down till 4!! Arrrggghh. Last night we put her down at 630 and she slept until 530 when I gave her a bottle. So obviuosly things are back to normal really really quickly (thank god!)
Caught up with friends while I was in Townsville - was great seeing everyone again. I miss the place soooo much.
Now for the bad mummy moment - bought C back to bed with me this morning after DH went to work at 545. I was still really sleepy and she wanted a bit of a play so I snuggled with her till she dropped off. At about 710 she woke again and started talking to me so I gave her a toy and rolled over. So did she......right off the bed!!!! I have never gotten out of bed so quickly in my life!! She cried for like a second I picked her up and she started LAUGHING!!! I have to say I almost shi!t myself!!
Oh I do remember one thing I wanted to comment on.....red cheeks!! If red cheeks are a sign of teething and only of teething, then my little monster has been teething since she was 4 months old. She has ALWAYS had red cheeks. DH has a bit of his english in his background somewhere and I dont think that helps her. But yeah - nearly always has had red cheeks!
Anyway - monster is playing on the floor and I can't quite make out whether she is happy or grumpy so I had better go. Hope you all have a great day!!
MWAH
yeah thats what i mean. i have been putting vaseline on them to take the roughness down a notch but i have to say when she was teething they were so red they almost glowed in the dark!
sorry didnt mean to imply anything
