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
i don't mean that cutesy flushed cheek thing - i mean a very clear circular pattern, which sometimes is rough
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
Welcome back Rebecca! K's cheeks get so red and hot when he's teething you could fry an egg on them! IKWYM about them glowing in the dark LOL. Did you get to meet your friend's bub while you were away?
Ange - How did you go with the acupuncture?
TY Trish Yeah I got to meet her and she is gorgeous! she was such a quiet bub! I wish C had been that quiet!! I was only there for a few hours but the only time she cried was just before I left when she was wanting afeed! Lucky girl! C cried and cried and cried and cried all the time and I never could figure out what she needed! Thank god she grew out of that!
anyway - time for a bottle and sleep - for little miss C of course!
mwah
hi everyone
Dont know what is going on with Tahlia at the moment, she woke up last night at 2am, and didnt go back to sleep till 4.30, and that was in bed with us after a dose of panadol and a feed. When she finally drifted off she was clapping her hands in her sleep... would have been much cuter if it was at a more respectable hour!
Mo - great news! I am so excited for you!
Amber - I hope Myles is feeling better for you soon, and you get some more sleep!
NT - that nurse sounds like a dumb a$$!
Julia - we are having a bday party for sure, just friends and immediate family though. I can't wait for it! I say that it wont be a big deal, but I bet it ends up being a biggie!
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Had to go to hospital on Friday because it had been 3 days & i was finding it hard to keep anything down, The nurse treated me like i was dumb saying it just bad morning sickness.
I said i understand some people get really ill with m/s but i can't keep my medication down as a result & that's not good for me or the baby, plus i think my blood count is low & that's not helping the matter & she goes well that's something your Dr has to take care *sigh* anyways after all that carp she take my blood only to find it's in the 70's. After 4 years i think i know when something is wrong with my blood count & U.C!
They got hold of G.I who put me on some I.V meds & Transfusions so my U.C wouldn't get worse.
I feel so much better now i can eat & drink without being sick.
Anyways i had to spend the night away from Maddi & she was not happy when Phil brought her in the next morning she wouldn't smile, talk to me or give me hugs :(
Took her almost 2 hrs to forgive me & last night she wouldn't let me out of her sight, Made me feeled so loved.
Kellie hope Tahlia sleeps better for you tonight.
Rebecca hope C's teeth pop through soon.
Glad you're feeling better Mo.
Do it Viv. Go on, you know you want to. Buy the trolley...... On a side note, not unlike a trolley, do you think your tredmill was worth the coin? Thinking of getting one but everyone i talk to never seems to use theirs?
Acupuncture good trish, she gave me magic herbs for nausea, fingers crossed it works. Has bamboo, mandarin peel, and some other wierd carp. :dunno:
Ange hope the acupuncture works! Are you thinking of staying at the medina which faces the story bridge? Maybe there is only one but i have no idea!
Viv i saw a wooden cart at a shop in the valley called growing world it was approx $80, it was the kind i wanted for myles with the blocks in it! Not sure if they have one down the coast? The cheek thing sounds the same as Myles too! I just put some cream on it and it has kinda gone?
Mo Hope your feeling better, what a mean nurse! Poor Maddi so glad she forgave you, how could she not your the best mummy in the world!
Kellie, Myles went through a stage like that! Having parties at all hours? He grew out of it thank god!
Rebecca welcome back! dont feel too bad about C falling off the bed! Myles did it twice! I have toys in our room now and pop him on the floor if he is up too early and i kinda sleep a bit more ifywim! Hope C teeth come through soon so she sleeps better!
Trish I wish Myles would eat and be entertained, he is so clingy at the moment! Hope you had a lovely weekend with all your boys!
Had a great time with my girlfriends! We laughed so much, it really made me feel better! We are goign to make it a regular thing so i will be hanging for our adult convos!
Myles has a new best friend.........he found his penis! lol!!!!! Its his new favorite bath toy! But his tummy sticks out and he cant see it, so he pulls it out so he can! Hope it doesnt hurt?
He is finally getting better too, slept quite well last night which was great! I feel like a new woman!
Anyway hi everyone else! Hope you all had a great weekend! xxxx
Ha...Max loves his willy too...guess that's just the start of it!
Maddi loves her Vjay as-well, always plays with it in the bath & when ever the nappy comes off lol
Thanks Ange & Amber.
Ange hope the herbs & acupuncture work for you
Morning!
Mo - You poor thing, I hope you're feeling OK today. I had been thinking of you over the weekend because we hadn't heard from you. What a cow that nurse was! I'm glad Maddi forgave you :).
Amber - I'm so glad you had a great time out with the girls! It's very therapeutic. K has always been clingy, I'm celebrating that I have found a way to get things done without carting him everywhere! Joel would never sit still in a highchair (or a pram :rolleyes:), he always had to be on the move, so it's nice to have a baby that can sit still LOL.
Ange - Fingers crossed the acupuncture and herbs work. Let us know! My SIL is 34 weeks pg and has had m/s the whole pregnancy the poor chick. She has tried EVERYTHING (including acupuncture), but nothing has worked for her, her body doesn't seem to respond to anything! I feel so sorry for her.
Kellie - I hope you had a better night last night with Tahlia. K woke a couple of times, I'm guessing he's teething again. He also had a rank nappy last night so I'm almost certain it's teething!
Rebecca - Your friend is lucky to have a nice quiet baby! I hope she stays that way!!
We had a busy weekend here organising caravan stuff for DH & BIL's trip on the weekend. It's so expensive buying all the accessories! The towing mirrors alone cost $170 - yikes! Luckily all the caravan experts we have seen have told us what great condition our caravan is in. It makes us feel better! Oh and we got a cover for it to protect it in our front yard. They're normally $400, but we got a "slightly imperfect" one (i.e - it had a couple of marks on the fabric) for $160, what a bargain!
Anyhoo, enough caravan talk, I'm over it already LOL.
ange - it was the PILs treadmill, which i used during the pg until my symph pain got too much. i used it a bit... but never after the birth. we gave it back to the olds.
i have found that when i have the time or inclination i do my 'fat burning yoga' dvd. is good - in fact, i should be doing it now instead of rotting my life away on the computer.
Trish & Amber she was so nasty, after all the meds kicked in & i felt better i asked if she could bring me a sandwhich so i could try eat something she said no & that she would be bring me some biscuits, Never got the biscuits! I was so happy when i got transfered out of that carp hole, They were so good with Maddi when she was in there tho.
Trish you sound so excited when you talk about the caravan, I'm sure you will all have a great time in it :)
Amber-Glad you had a good time with your friends.
I have my 1st OB appointment on Aug 22nd at 1pm, Nervous & excited.
I keep thinking that i'll go in & they say the baby has died, esp now i feel so much better it's a little scary.
My OB goes on Holidays on March 31st So hopefully Cookie will come 2 weeks early like Maddi!
Aww Mo big hugs! Try to be as positive as you can! It will rub off on cookie! Cute name by the way!
Trish you are making me want a carvan more and more lol!
Just went to the new park and had a play on the grass! Myles loved it! We may make it a daily thing!
BBL have to hang out some washing xx
Hi Everyone!
Well what a great time we have had over the past few days! Caitlyn has slept like a queen the past 2 nights (have prob jinxed it now!) 6pm until 530 and then 7 until 615! YAY. A few little stirs in that time - lost dummy etc. So I feel nice and refreshed.
Am sooo excited about starting my new job. Dont start for 4 weeks but am still excited. The girls here arent real happy cause it will mean a shuffle of duties oh and they will miss me they say!
Mo As Amber said, stay positive. It can only be good for you and Cookie. Caitlyn too likes to play with her foo foo. Everytime the nappy comes off her hands go straight there and sometimes she doesnt even wait till the nappy comes off! And the bath is just fun times for her although her little pot belly gets in the way sometimes and she looks for it by squishing her tummy out of the way a bit. Its funny to watch!
Trish- I too would love a caravan. Waaay beyond budget at the moment so I wont even think about it but it would be nice to be able to pack up and go on the weekend.
At the moment we are looking at the possibility of moving to West Aust. Although I have had a few rough quotes come back and I think they have nixed that idea. So far the cheapest has been $8000 and we just dont have that money lying around anywhere and to borrow it would just deepen the hole. Then we also have the option to move ourselves - buy a trailer (put a towbar on the ute) and pack it and go. And then of course we just sell everything, move over, live with family until we find ourselves somewhere, and then buy it all again. Then again....we could just stay in this "lovely country town" for a bit longer and stick it out till the "money" comes in.
Amber-Ooooo grass - its been a while since I saw that stuff!!
Oh - look at that - time to get ready to pack up to go home for the day. Short day tomorrow so have plenty of time to do the housework that I didnt get done at lunch today.
I hope you all had/are having a fantastic day! MWAH
Yea I'm trying hard to be positive ;) I know you Ladies will keep me positive!
M's pot belly gets in her way as-well but she just moves her fat with one hand to get down there lol.
Amber can't wait to we get some dry weather so M can play on some grass, i know she'll love it.
So hard trying to find a name for the the unborn baby, Feels so wrong calling it "It".
Thought Cookie sounded cute enough :)
Rebecca, you sound so excited about starting back at your old job, Not too long to go!
Hope C sleeps continues her great sleeping for you.
