I'm having a meltdown right now....Dylans just been really hard all day...I've just been to buy infacol to try on him for the next feed. I so don't do good babies! hehehe.
Mum came over so I had a quick shower and went down to the chemist. Poor Louis has been so patient - and I haven't had much time for him today...
Michael just got home and I told him how crappy it's been...the other day I asked him to just get me a card from him and the boys for my birthday and he couldn't even be bothered doing that...I mean is that so much to ask??? Then he was inside for 5min and has gone outside for the next hour to do a weights workout...
Now I don't know what to do for dinner - I don't want junk food - but I don't want to cook. He said he'd put on soup for himself! So what are Louis and I meant to eat??
Can you tell I'm p***ed off??
Sooo sorry for the vent - I'm sure I'll have it all out of my system for tomorrow! LOL! I'm just feeling a bit tired and emotional...I'm going to go and have a good cry! hehehe.
Kristie- I love the new pic of Dylan! And yes we do have to do the cake, thats what friends do!!! And after today, i think a nice big piece of chocolate cake might help a bit! Sorry to hear Michael has disappointed you today, guys just dont get it do they!
I hope the infacol helps out with dylan.
ohhh kristie,i have to say it.......what a **** head!!!!!
it is your birthday,he should be spoiling you rotten,what a terd.
of course he is lovely but just not today.
i hope things have gotten a bit better since you have been on.last year grant decided to have a big fight with me on my birthday and spoilt the whole day for me and i still remind him now about how insensitive it was.
unfortunantly we still arnt talking.gee it has been 4 days now.we have never let a fight go into the next day,i am just jack of everything.
tracey have you got candles,i dont!
look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
nikki
I must have made him feel guilty...I went out a bit later to get Louis and he had made one and got Louis to draw on it as well saying sorry etc...
I was more upset that I'd actually asked him to do it and he didn't...I mean I didn't expect him to even think to do it himself iykwim??? Oh well..it's done now...
Poor Dylan looks a sight at the moment - he has such bad pimples...and his ear is all gone gross and is weeping even from pimples...I squirted some breastmilk on it tonight so hopefully that helps...I know Louis got bad pimples but I don't think this bad...
Nikki, I remember when that happened on your b'day...so not nice...I'm sooo sorry to hear you guys aren't talking. We'll have a good gasbag tomorrow about how are dh's can be a***holes! LOL!
Don't stress about candles - I've got some! hehehe.
I can't wait to see you all tomorrow! You guys are such great friends!!
I'm off to hopefully get a massage of dh - I'm so sore from sleeping on the couch (I'mthere nearly evernight at the moment!)..
Ladies cant wait to catch up tomorrow
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kristie I am glad the day got better.
I am sure Dylan looks beautiful I love the new ticker.
Cindy cant wait to see you again, I also think group hug is needed.
Nikki its been so long I cant wait to hear all the goss. Hopefully all will be sorted with DH soon. Men...... they are so different to us arent they
Missy how is the TWW?
Well dance class was awesome I am tired and sore which is good.
What time are we meeting tomorrow? i thought about 11? Kristie can you tell me your st number again?
Well I'm so larthargic today, all I want to do is sleep. I spent my night with the gastro bug. Everytime I moved I felt sick and had to make a mad dash to the toilet. Benjamin had the same thing last weekend too. It's not nice being sick.
Well I have felt that im getting my AF the last couple of days so not sure whats going on. I just hate this waiting so much. I have sore boobs but not sure if thats from being pg or pre af. Ill have to wait and see.
Thanks heaps for coming around guys!! It was great to catch up! Thank you also for the beautiful gifts and choccy cake! LOL! We certainly all had a feast! I feel very spoilt!
Louis is sleeping now and hopefully Dylans back down for a while as well...
Wow Jordans looking so cute walking around now!
Tori and Louis are almost inseperable now with all those cuddles and kisses - LOL!
Chantelles looking very cheeky with that grin - I don't blame you for laughing Nikki!
I can't believe how big Harry is now - how time flies!
I'm so jealous of Charlotte sleeping so much! LOL!
Melissa - Thanks! Sorry to hear your feeling so rotten - you poor thing - it's so horrible. Hope you feel better soon!
Missy - I so hope it's p/g symptoms for you!!! Cross fingers!!
thanks for the lovely afternoon ladies. I am sorry that Jordan was a little grumpy arse though He was so knackered he slept the entire way home and is still asleep now.
Krisite you look fantastic and Dylan is just gorgeous. I cant beleive Louis is counting and doing his ABCs he is such a darling. Glad you had a nice day, hope it makes up a little for yesterday.
Cindy WOW you wouldnt even know Charlotte was there, what a good baby. Tori is just gorgeous. I am sorry Jordan wasnt into sharing with her though LOL. Tori and Louis are great mates, its so nice to see.
Nikki Harry is just a darling and boy has he changed in the last month or so. CHantelle is just precious aswell, she such a little madam with her handbag
I will def have to make that trip to the play centre with you. We really should catch up more seeing as we live so close.
Melissa sorry to hear you are feeling sick hope you feel better soon
Rachel we will habe to catch up again soon. Hope you and Milo are well.
DO you have any days off work or are you FT? Maybe you could make it to the playcentre with Nikki and I?
Missy I really hope that you are having early preg symptoms and not AF signs. I have fingers crossed for you.
Well, ended up taking the LONG way home as I missed the entry for citylink and ended going thru footscray, sunshine, deerpark......Took forever. Oh well atleast Jordan was asleep and they had good tunes on the radio.
Did some washing and then planned to make a nice apricot chicken and Jamie has just rang saying he doesnt want that for tea, SO annoyed. I really wanted to make it.
Just caught up on this weeks epoisode of prison break, its the best. I cant wait for next week now.
chat later ladies.
I feel like the worst mum in the world! Just went to clean Louis' teeth after all he's eaten today...up the top of his front teeth was all yellow and gunky! But when I tried to lift his lip to clean it properly I noticed the stringy part at the top of our gum is like joined to almost in between his teeth...almost like what his tongue tie was like but up the top...I don't know if this makes any sense...I've booked him in for the dr tomorrow but I'm thinking he'll definitely need to have it fixed so that we can clean his teeth properly.
I'm more guilty that I haven't noticed it before - I mean he's 19m old!
Mum pointed out that the dr's never noticed either but when he was a baby he didn't have teeth - now he's had them since he was 12 months old...
Anyway...just had a bit of a panic but hopefully we can get it fixed asap. I also feel guilty because he'll have to get it fixed so much older and it will probably hurt heaps...
Tracey - thats great Jordans having a big sleep. Louis only slept for about 1 1/2h and he's so tired and cranky...Bugger about the trip home and dinner...I'm so full after all the eating today that I'm just defrosting some soup for Louis and I and making michael chicken noodle...
Michael came home with 2 bunches of flowers for me today! LOL! So I did well today along with Tracey's bunch!!!
I can't believe it but Dylans still asleep - Thats the longest he's slept in the day in ages!!! Seems like the expressing/infacol is the way to go (hopefully!) I feel so good just having 5min to jump on the computer and tidy up etc...
Well girls - as usual it was a pleasure to catch up! Our kids are gettig chaotic together now arent they! They grow so fast.
Would you believe that that baby of mine that i woke to feed, fell asleep again in the car and woke at 5 for another feed and is back asleep again! I hope she is going to sleep tonight!
Tori had a meltdown in the car and screamed for about 5 minutes but after that it was time for some serious snoring in the back of the car! She had only just woken now so i'm thinking she will be up late tonight!
I got home to a house that had been vaccumed and swept and mopped and the clothes had all been put away adn the lawns mowed and edged! I should leave al home by himself more often really!
I really do love catching up with you guys! I am already looking forward to next week at nikkis!
Missy - i hope its preggy boobs for you and not AF ones!
Tracey - jordan is such a sweety and did so well today without his sleep! He is walking so well now too! Looks so grown up with his little boots on!
Kristie - I'm telling you - our kids are in love! I wouldnt worry about the tied lip, it is relatively easy to fix up and yeah it will be a bit painful but no more now than it would have been with his tongue and the mouth is the fastest healing part of the body so he would only feel it for a day. Dont beat yourself up about it, as your mum said, the drs hadnt picked it up and it sometimes takes time to form anayway!
Nikki - my beautiful nikki - those kids of yours are just gorgeous. I loved chantelle going for her walks outside with your bag I swear she would have escaped to the bus stop if we werent out there and gone for a day of shopping! HOw is her cheeky, i know you cant get mad at me, face when she does something naughty! My golly gosh!
Have i told you also how proud of you i am that you are going back to school! Its fantastic, i wish i could do something like that, it just seems so scarey to actually do it! But no, you are getting out there and doing it! Good on you
Rachel - when do you have free days to catch up?
Got to go, tea is ready and I'm being told off for being on the computer instead of sitting at the table!
