Naww that's so cute Meg! What a sweetheart you have there.
Ohh Shell. That sounds so tough. How is Matt coping?
Hope you're feeling sunnier today Jodi!
Haha, that's cute Annat.
So how was Packed to the Rafters Laurin? How's Finn going?
Did the rest of your birthday go well Maz? Sounds like it had a super start!
Well, I got all excited the other day, because River did a SOLID poop for once. But they're slop again now, I think because I completely had a brain fart (I so have adopted that phrase Maz), and made pizza - with WHEAT and CHEESE, the two things, wheat and dairy, that I've been taking him off! So...back off those things and will see if we get another solid one...otherwise, I'm at a loss.
He's sporting a slight bruiser atm, no idea what he did, some sort of shoulda-been-sleeping-but-was-actually-playing injury. Rans sorted him out last night and it was only a small bump then.
Anyone else's kid driving them CRAZY with climbing? Food, knives, lightswitches... All I seem to be doing is saying 'get down please River'. At least he does what he's told. Oh! And pulling cords out of plugs! I get very cross with him about that. I've given up about the small square fan too - he's already half broken it anyway.
I probably had more to say (i usually do!) but I've forgotten it. Hope everyone's having a great day!
OH!! That's what I was going to tell you! I got up at 7:30 this morning! I've been so super lazy lately, so this is so cool. Rans brought me a coffee, and chatted with me while I drank some, which really helped me wake up. Hopefully he'll have time for that again tomorrow morning!
7:30am Nelle !! Does that mean you went to bed at a reasonable hour last night ?!?!
I love that little questionnaire you mods have done to get to know you guys. Very interesting.
meg - that is so cute! Nina did something similar last night. I was crying cause of the day I had, and Nina went and told Heath that mummy had sore eyes. aawwww. She then told Heath to kiss them better.
I'm having a better day today. Thanks to all the messages I got last night. I really appreciate it. I had a good cry, and a talk to Heath. He's such a good man, and so reassuring.
On slightly better news, but sad at the same time, I'm heading back to work as of Monday. It's not something that was initially planned, but it's something that we feel we need to do to keep us afloat during these difficult times. I got a job at the Centrelink Call Centre here. I'm very excited, but I'm going to miss the girls terribly. I know I'm doing the best thing for them at this stage, so I'm now at peace with my decision.
Nelle - J has problems in the poo dept too! I just had to collect a sample that is going to the path lab tody. (It is pretty gross as it is in a specimen jar in the fridge atm, all sealed in 3 layers) I have put him on a probiotic that seems to have helped. I took him to a naturopath. - How is Riv going with the talking?
Anna - that is pretty funny that he thinks he has to say sorry even when he has done nothing to his brother!
Jodi - I am sure that once you are back at work you will see that the girls are fine. I am glad you are feeling better today.
Laurin - I watched Packed to the Rafters last night. I love that show.
Jodi I hope things go smoothly for you. You'll make a grouse Clink gal. Nah, up late, but I can't keep sleeping in just cos I feel I haven't got a good night's sleep. And the earlier I rise, hopefully I'll start to need bed earlier too.
Ewwie at the poop Meg!
His talking is not great, but his comprehension is brilliant. So I'm not toooo worried. I have a friend who's a speech therapist, and she says there's not heaps they can do for him while he's so young.
We make slow progress though, he says ssss when he sees a pic of a snake, ooo at cows, yells Goooooooo when he's running or being naughty (dead giveaway, that), and today tried to copy me when I said Good Job. It was goo gob, but hey, better than nothing!
Ive put up a meet up post for our group and made it the long weekend in June (9th) if anyone is interested. thought it might be nice to involve other BB girls expecially seeing that some of you are going to be flying interstate
OK back to being told he hates me and being kicked
Nelle - J says a lot, but a lot of it is very unclear. He would prob say "goo gob" too.
I am trying to teach him to say Emilia. So far he is calling the baby bump Mia instead. He gives it a kiss, then says bye bye baby Mia, and pulls my top back over it.
Maz - I just sent you a message on FB. I hope things improve soon.
thanks girls...he's being really hard and the techers at schoola rent making my life any easier....must note they are trying to back me but saying the wrong things...eg I said he cant take his DS lite to schoola dn the teacher and careeer said he could if I said yes...meaning for an autistic kids...YES so he's been physically hitting me and telling me he hates me ....I snapped and feel terrible
Nelle - I think us September girls will be together most of the weekend but have one night were we invite all BB girls so others can meet us all and vice versa and as for speaking...Vy stuffs upher p's and f's....and OMG she swears.... have no idea were she gets that from
Well FIL is gonna have an op sat. Apparently they don't have to take his stomach but will make bypass from top of it to bottom so he can eat, build up strength to have further chemo. He looks so frail and moment and has lost alot weight.
Thanks for thoughts girls.
I'm sick now. Have tonsilitis and fever with it, plus all horrible pregnancy aches and pains, been crying at how crap I feel then feel guilty cause look at what FIL is going thru.
Maz- I hope you work things out with Wilhelm, do these episodes last long usually? Is it starting back at school with new teacher that could have started things?
jodi- Congrats on job! How many days will you work? Be hard at first but break from kids mighyt do you good.
Don't feel guilty Shell, your health is valid too mate.
And Maz I hope Wil turns a corner soon.
Jodi! I have been waiting to hear whether you got that job, and then I didn't put 2 and 2 together! Congrats!
I didn't even really think that we had muscles in our chest, you know in the flat part - I just thought it was bone or something - but no, it's muscle, and I know, because I think I've pulled a muscle there! Right in the middle of my chest. Done all my 'nope it's not a heart attack or lung issue' checks. And you know how I think I did it? Stirring! How bad is that, when I am getting cooking injuries?!
I must be so out of shape...
Shell - I wish FIL very well for the op. Not feeling well and being very preg is difficult. I too and just generally struggling now. I am just so tired, and to top it off, J has been a nighmore to get to bed lately, and crying when you put him to bed. I don't kn ow why as he used to go just fine. He is also crying in his sleep, so that is waking me.
Anyone else foun their 2yo challenging atm, or is it just that he knows that there is something different about me.
Gee I am hoping that he is not mega naughty once the baby arrives.
That's hillarious nelle!! What on earth were you stiring??
shell - like nelle said, your health is valid too. I know when there is something close to you suffering this sort of illness yours seem so pathetic, but it's not. It's important. You are carrying a very precious bundle in your tummy.
meg - I reckon it's a bit of both. Nina has been a little challengine lately as well. But I remember when I was almost due with Emily she was very challenging. J will be sensing things are changing. What worked best for us was for me to include Nina in EVERYTHING. I started this when I was pg with Emily. When I was feeding Emily, I would include her. She would sit next to us and I'd read her a book, or sometimes she'd just prefer to stair at Emily feeding and want to look at my boobs And she'd help with burping too.
I've just worked up a sweat cleaning the house, so it's Red Rooster for lunch for me today
Thanks girls, I'm feeling alot better today thank god, had fever all night and I don't think bubs liked cause it'd kick alot more wildly when temp was right up.
Meg- Ash was crying in her sleep last week and it ended up she was unwell, had ear infection. Maybe he is teething or something causing him bit of pain?
Ash plays up a bit too at bedtime, as soon as we start getting ready she suddenly becomes manic, runnning around, will clamp her mouth shut when brushing teeth, start squealing etc and we have to try so hard to wind her down, read her books helps.
Nelle- pmsl at cooking injury! Don't exert yourself too much or who knows what damage you'll do!
J woke up last night crying out for Bob the Builder. This is his latests obsession. He carries a little Bob figurine around almost everywhere.
Doing awesome on the TT. Using the potty all the time as the toilet is right down the other end of the house. He even asks for his nappy off in the morning to go and do wees. I think the incentive of 4 mini M&M's each time has done the trick.
How is everyone? Hopefully all around but just lurking.
Hi everyone! ive been awol as i have had no computer.
Im very annoyed and still having probs chasing my old emails.
Im very ready to spit the dummy and throw the thing off the wall.
So will go and calm down.
woohoo on the tt Meg WTG J!
That's so cute he was calling out for Bob the Builder!
caddie - that sucks! Go and have a cuppa and a treat and calm down.
Very exciting news for us in Cairns, we have food on our supermarket shelves again! They shipped the trucks from Townsville to Cairns yesterday to load the supermarkets. It looked as though we were going to have to eat canned food for a while there
ETA:
with all this rain anna, we can't call you guys Brownsville anymore, lol! It's going to be nice and green in Townsville when the flood waters ease off.
Bummer about the comp Caddie.
Jodi I wish some of the rain would come this way. Gonna be in the 20's tomorrow.
Just took J to Macca for lunch - not good I know, but he had a reasonably healthy lunch. 3 nuggets, cup of milk and a bag of Apples. Me on the other hand had a Big Mac meal. I have already put 15kg on, and wonder why!!
Yeah send rain down here, so sick of looking at burnt and dying plants.
Caddie- You all unpacked properly and set up in new place? Hope you sort out computer, I'm lost without one!
Meg- Yay for J and the TT, thats fantastic, the mini mm's wouldn't work here cause I'd eat the whole pack before Ash got any.
We started back gymabroo today, Ash was so excited, and just not being there for 7 weeks I really notice difference in her development and how she is coming out of her shell.
That sounds so tough. How is Matt coping?
How's Finn going?
So...back off those things and will see if we get another solid one...otherwise, I'm at a loss.
Hope everyone's having a great day!
!! Does that mean you went to bed at a reasonable hour last night ?!?!
And she'd help with burping too. 
WTG J!
