Trish - that is so cute. Sounds like K has a very caring big brother. If L hurts me for some reason and I say ouch he will kiss my foot, or arm or whatever he stepped on and says "ok Mummy?" I've noticed that when M is crying that he will go over to her and try to give her cuddles or distract her with a toy too.
Nothing happening with us. Finally making some progress with unpacking boxes etc. Only taken 7 months.......
We are finally back from hossy, Looks like K has an infection. Drs aren't sure where it is but she respond well to the I.V ab's so they lets us home. Poor bubba got so sick on Monday, we got to the GP and her temp was 39.6 & she was flat out refusing any liquids. So he sent us to the hossy, once in there they tried to give her hydralyte which she just vomited up. Then the put an I.V which took 4 tries because she was so dehydrated. She's looking much happier now which is such a relief.
Maddi went of to Daycare today. I'm sad i missed it but i know she's off having a great time.
Trish what a cute story, i can't wait to M & K do stuff like that.
Ok, firstly I am going to apologise for no personals ... it takes me all of my time to get on here and I am finding it hard to keep up. Mums to 3 ... OMG, it is a lot more full on ... please tell me it settles down?
All going well here. Today was DD1's first day of kinder. It went well, she had a couple of moments where she didn't want to be there, but finally we were able to leave. We come home and slept, Bruno, Tay, Luka and I until it was time to go and pick Mia back up. Then she come home, we had lunch and all of us went back to bed again. I think we successfully slept all day and how much better do I feel.
Luka is a pretty good bubs. He feeds and sleeps and only if there is a reason has a bit of a whinge. He put on 50 grams yesterday and his jaundice levels have dropped so he is improving. He is definately not looking as yellow. He is gorgeous though and improving every day. He is feed every few hours, because the more he feeds the more the jaundice will leave his system. So we wake him to feed him until it clears up. He takes anywhere from 60 - 80 mls per feed which is really good.
Ah ... to think, this time last week we were getting ready to welcome him into the world! A week goes fast when you have a newborn.
I am off to sit in front of the tv and relax until next feed.
I promise I will start catching up with you all on a more personal basis soon! But just wanted to wish K a speedy recovery. for you and her Mo x
Trish - so glad to hear that Joel loved school, I loved the pics of him on FB in his uniform... so cute! I can't believe Alana is already moving around! Wow!
Julia - enjoy your trip home!
Mo - hope K is well and truly on the mend now, how scary for you! How did Maddi go at daycare?
Kaz - congrats again and thanks for sharing the story of Lukas arrival, it must have been a worry and then such a relief when you knew all was ok! I agree with Saffi, the pics on FB are gorgeous! Glad to hear the pelvic instability has disappeared too! Now that your no longer pregnant, does that make me next to pop? Scary!
Amber - how exciting about building our house! We built the house we are living in now and it was so good being able to pick everything exactly as you wanted!
Saffi - glad to hear you had a good birthday
AFU - Tahlia is toilet training and going quite well I think. She had childcare Tues and Wed and had no accidents all day, which I was very proud of, but this morning has poo'd and weed on the floor.
I am going ok too, cant wait for the next 12 weeks to come though! I defintely prefered being pregnant over winter than summer!
Looks like Maddi has Kodi's unknown virus, either that or it's an ear or throat infection.
Maddi is running a nice high temp, gone off her food but at least she is drinking.
Kodi is doing so much better, still only eating very small amounts but she is drinking & playing like she use to
Kellie M did really well, She cried at first but got over pretty quickly & she even made 2 friends.
Oh and she brought us home a lovely picture she drew
Kaz, hope your all doing well, saw on FB that Luka has his days & nights mixed. Hope that gets sorted for you soon & so glad he gained some weight.
What a big girl Mia is starting kinder already so happy she had a good first day.
Kellie yay for T toilet training & i agree being pregnant over winter is much better. Only good thing about summer is getting to show off your bump with singlet tops.
Mo - oh no, hope M recovers quickly! I agree about getting to show off your bump, but on the other hand, cause its more noticeable in summer maternity clothes you get millions of the 'gee your big' and 'you sure you arent having twins' comments!
Far out Mo...hope your girls are 100% again in no time!
Just wanted to send everyone hugs! I'm going back to Singas this afternoon so I'll be able to catch up properly when I'm back in my own space....and not so tired from the constant visits, late nights and early mornings (gee maybe I should have a newborn already!)
Julia - I hope you have a good trip home! straight back at ya.
Mo - Oh dear sick again, I think you guys have been through enough. So good to hear K is out of hossy and doing a lot better, must have been a bit scarey for you having your bubba in hossy again. Hope everyone is better soon.
Kellie - Thats great T had two days in day care with no accedents! The hardest part with Tiera was when she was playing, she didn't want to stop to go to the toilet. Tiera had been in underwear for two weeks before christmas, but on Christmas day I had her in pull ups which was lucky cuz once she got busy she didn't bother with going to the toilet! It didn't bother me at all cuz I knew the next day we'd e back on track. She's really good now though, barely even any accdents. I'm with you on the winter preg thing, but good thing about being preg in summer is all the gorgeous dresses, I live in dresses now! Not long now hun and you'll get to meet your little creation.
Kazaraz - Congrats on your little man! I know I'm late, but better late than never hey?! Great to hear he's doing so well and settling into the family nicely.
Amber - Hope DH is feeling better.
Hope everyone I've missed is doing well.
Not a lot to report here. Tiera is non stop talking! I had to do my groseries this morning and she drove me bonkers with the mummy this and mummy that. I just had to bribe her to be quiet, just for 30 secs! I LOVE that she is talking so well and we have proper conversations now, I just wish sometimes there was a awitch, but my mum has always said that about me so no guessing where she gets in from!!!!
Mo - Nope, I am getting to it. I had a quick look and seen that I can do it myself or send my details and get one done for me. What did you guys do? I am thinking email as I had a quick look and it seemed hard to make one? Any suggestions?
Kaz i just sent in a request for my avvy, seemed easier that way.
Saffi can't believe M is 6 months old already, then again i can't believe my baby will be 1 next month either.
Tiff as soon as bub is born T will understand where the milk comes from, I wouldn't worry about it oo much. Maddi is always b/fing her dolls & monkeys. I actually think it's cute watching her feeding her babies when i feed K.
Hi all! Sorry I've been slack again, life it just so busy atm and we've had lots of visitors this week so not much time to post.
All is going well with us. Joel absolutely loves school, he's having a great time . It's been a very easy transition and I'm actually enjoying the routine of day so far. It's so nice and quiet when Joel is at school and K and A are asleep! I get SO much done, it's great!!
The boys went into a bunk bed on the weekend. K went straight from his cot into the bottom bunk. He was so excited he actually ran to bed the first night LOL! He has slept fine in it without any issues, very easy! He's such an adaptable kid though, very cruisy.
Alana is going great, although she's come down with a bit of a cold thanks to Joel bringing it home from school. K has it too. She's sleeping pretty well, but I think her cold made her a bit unsettled early this morning. She is up on all fours constantly trying to crawl forward, but still only going backwards. I keep finding her wedged under a couch . She's such a little go-getter, it makes me wonder if she'll walk earlier than the boys did because she seems in such a rush to catch up with them. She's moving much earlier than the boys did, so who knows!
Anyway, I have to run so sorry for no personals today. I will try and get back to do some later. Have a great day everyone!!!
Wow Trish sounds like Alana will be crawling very soon.
Kodi is almost walking, she'll let of something a take about 2 steps to reach something else.
It's happening way too fast!
Maddi is loving Daycare so far, she waves us off & when it's time to pick her up we get the biggest cuddles and smiles.
Then she'll come home and tell us everything she did that it's so cute. It's really helping with her language & social skills.
Not much else happening here. Just thought i should pop in to say hi & push us back to page 1
Things going well here. M is calling everyone Daddy. L is growing up so fast.
Got their photo from daycare back yesterday. They are such cuties. I don't know how they managed to get the two of them to sit still together for long enough to take a photo.
Just sitting here watching the Collingwood V Geelong game.....Please god let Collingwood win!! LOL
Max is being so hilarious at the moment.....really starting to role play and use his imagination. He also has a little girlfriend! IN LOVE! A friend that moved away from Singa back to QLD is over for a visit! Love reunited....Gorgeous!!
Gotta Go...Darcie is crying! Probably hates the sound of the whistle as much as I do!
Hi everyone!
Jules - Tahlia is using her imagination heaps now when playing too... she suprises me every day with the things she comes up with!
Question for you all... are your almost 3yr olds still having day sleeps? I think Tahlia might be growing out of them, but we are in a tricky situation. If she has one, she is a pain to get to sleep at night, still bouncing off the walls well after 9pm, but if she doesnt have one, still quite grumpy and then will sometimes fall asleep on the couch watching tv around 4 which makes for an even harder bed time?
