I know sheel so looking forwrd to it. Cheap thrill
Caddie.. poor you.. i hope they find it isnt as bad as they thought. :hugs:
Lol Caddie, maybe you need to take the wine into the colonoscopy. :p
Caddie - Scott had an endo/colonoscopy last year and said it wasn't as bad as he imagined. The worst bit was the liquid you have to drink before hand - add cordial to it and it tastes heaps better. Scott actually opted to have a lighter twilight sedation so he could watch on a TV screen.... apparently it was really interesting!
There you go Caddie! Haven't you always wanted to see what's up your bum? :p
Morning..
Lol Nelle.. you make it sound so appealing!
I feel like a zombie today. Its freezing and i feel like i should be asleep still.. but then Jesse came along!
I had this strange dream last night that Paul McCartney died.. Nnnnoooooooooooooo! Am gonna have to search the news now..
Ahhhhh well.. time for a nice coffee...
caddie - hope that you had a ok sleep after hearing you news.. as Nelle said maybe take the wine with you!
Hi all,
I still havent had a chance to catch up on all the posts, but have managed to read a few. So sorry if I have missed anyones news.
AnnaT - I hope your little man is better.
Belle - Get better soon. we still have to catch up for a MSN chat!!!
Kell - Great news on having a mums grp.
Caddie - Sending heaps of positive vibes your way.
Hello to everyone else, hope you are having a "lazy" weekend!! (like Kell said, we all feel like we should still be in bed!!)
I was very luck today. Fed James lying in bed at 7am, then DH got up with him. I am still lying in bed as we speak. (With the lap top)
Poor Ash has a cold so that explains why shes been off a bit this week. Shes not too bad its just hard when she feeds cause she can't breathe properly thru her nose then she seems to get these terrible hiccups.
Meg, I had sleep in too today, sat mornings my sleep in day.
Kell, its freezing here too. So depressing this weather, makes sense how people get affected by seasonal depression.
Hope everyone is enjoying there weekend, Caddie you got a hang over this morning?
Poor Ash!! James has a cold too - same thing can't breathe properly with feeds. Also hates me wiping his nose!!!
Nah no hangover. Had a little headache and nausea but ok now.I had only 3 glasses.lol.
We are all oing crazy as the weather is cold and windy.We cant go outside and limited to where we can go as funds have to be saved as aaron not been working due to car getting fixed.
Anyway no news here,fritatta for dinner tonight and pehaps a movie with popcorn!
Hope ash recovers from her cold poor thing!
Wonder how xander is with the trots?
hi All
we are all sick here also.. who said QLD was meant to be warm! its bloody freezing! i had to buy flanette sheets for olivia's bed..
Dh went out to get petrol and came back with a gourmet pizza and a movie.. so looks like tonight will be a good night !
Caddie - enjoy your fritatta and movie & popcorn too!
Shell - hope that Ash gets better
Meg - Alexander is the same hates his nose being wiped.. Hope that James gets better soon aswell
Nelle - whats up
Nes, Kell, Anna**, AnnaT, Rikki, Maz, Jodi, Sharleen,Laurin, Belle, Chrissy, Rach, Helen and everyone else.. dont mean to miss people out.. i am just trying to rememeber, and i am so cold my brain is not working!
have a great night,,
when can we have another MSN chat night.. who is free next Saturday night ???
Can't do next sat for msn cause for the first time since having Ash I am actually going on on a sat night! Nothing to major, just a trivia night but should be fun. Df will be left in charge of Ash and I'll prolly have to write a step by step guide of her routine.
Sounds like this weather is making everone sick, bring on the sunshine, but not too hot.
Caddie, 3 wines and I would have been pi$$ed, doesn't take much for me.
Ash also hates her nose being wiped, makes her cry then that makes more snot! I thought she took after Df as he never has liked his nose being wiped and he is still one of those boys that will just sniff instead of blowing it, drives me mental when he has a cold.
I'm freezing. I'm so cold. My feet are on our foot massager which has infra red heat, and they're the only part of me that's warm :p
I think next Sat night is my sister's going away party, and I think Rans has a gig too...so I'll be busy, but I'm hoping it won't be too late a night, so I might get on later if something ends up happening.
Oh yeah Shell, River got very upset in the early hours of this morning when he couldn't feed cos of a blocked nose - I'm going to have to clean the humidifier and chuck it back in his room methinks. And he's another one who hates getting his nose wiped.
Oh man it's not warm hey. Glad I'm not outside.
HI Nelle,
I have been using one of those booger remover thingy's with James. It seem to help. I think it is called a Fes Little Noses. I suction his nose before feeds. ( i know this post sounds gross, but it does help!!!) :D
Hey girls,
Happy weekend.
No personals, sorry, hi to everyone and hope that your DH's/DP's are taking over some of the chores this weekend.
No such luck here, Rylee has been awake all day, just gone to bed now after some screaming, I feel like i am going nuts with DH away...but nothing outside of the norm I guess:wall:.
Have a good one!
Laurin :)
Oh! I've got one of those Meg! I used it when River was new, but it didn't occur to me to use it now. :doh. Thanks for the reminder!
No prob Nell - Hope it works. james has started to think that it is really funny. I think he likes the feeling that it makes on his nose, so he is letting me do it. (For today at least!!)
Laurin - Hope Rylee gives you a break.
hi ya girls
Just dropping in to say it was -3 here last night and yes froze me bb's off.
i'll try and get back later...been a flat out week. hope yourve all been well..
10 weeks today!!!!! yay for me!
Mauw all
yay Maz on 10 weeks!
I tried using that fess sucky snot remover thingy but Ash absolutely hatres it and screamed so in the end she was more snotty than when we began! So frustrating cause how do you explain to a baby you are doing it for their benefit!
Laurin when does you Dh get back? Hand him over Rylee and take time out for yourself when he gets home.
Maz - I love the tickers that show where the bub is at developmentally!!
Congrats on reaching 10 weeks maz!! Gee before you know it you will be having her.
Millana has a cold too so all night in bed with me of course all i could here was her snotty breathing.Drove me insane.
No movie as dh watched football.I passed out at 7pm but then he woke me up for a ph call after my friend deliberatly said not too if im asleep.He does those things deliberatley.The other day he woke me at 930 to tell me ruby was awake.Stupid arse couldnt see to her himself.Only does it if im out! What happens if i do get sick and i need my rest.Not goona happen me thinks.He just goes on life as normal and hasnt even bothered to ask if im worried about the procedure or anything.Just oh not having to eat 3 days prior to procedure only clear fluids his comment was" oh you might lose some weight" Real nice. Sometimes id love to walk out and leave him to himself for a few days but the kids i cant drag around.So oneday i will bide my time and it will be payback.
Caddie - boys can be so insensitive. DH would wake me too.
Caddie- big :hug:, I don't know what is wrong with men sometimes. I bet if it were other way around it would be totally different. Maybe one day you should get up, go out on your own and leave a note telling him he has the girls for the day! That'll show him.
Caddie - you need a baseball bat honey....then show aaron how you can swing it! Jed knows better, I threw my lamp at him once, stuffed it but Jed hasnt dared wake me again.
Shell - I cant use them snot things either, I just let it run at home (I know its sounds yuck) and use a warm face washer to wipe it away and loosen any thats stillup there.
Meg - I love these tickers to but would love to put apic up of my amigo's next to it.
Hello everyone else hope your all enjoying the little bit of sunshine today.
Jed and I have been looking at cars......we're still off 6 months but we like to look and get a feel for something before hand. We're thinking about getting a Kia carnival cause they have heaps of room in the back for the kids. Our ford explorer is just to small for them. FOund a realy nice one, 2005 model, with dvd and flip down screens...but it was a manual and the last thing I really want to do with kids in the back is worry about changing gears. it was only $17000 to... well can keep dreaming for now.
Better be of...going to a girls undercover wear party BY MYSELF!!!!!!! yay!!!!!
BBL
Hey all,
Chrissy - how is Craig's recovery going??
Maz - congrats on 10 weeks and also love the lamp throwing episode - that got the message across to Jed for sure!!
Caddie - yeah, if we did half the things to our DH'S/DP's that they do to us our lives wouldn't be worth living.
To all the mums with bubs who have a cold - do you ever use saline drops to loosen everything up there and then bubs can breathe easier - I used to use it all the time when Rylee was smaller and she would get a blocked nose all the time and couldn't feed properly.
Nessa - for some insane reason Rylee was really hungry during the night too....grrr..
Shell - DH is back thurs morn - the good thing is I am not missing his snoring or the way he messes up the house in 10 secs flat - nice not to be bothered cooking too .....missing him a little bit - ha ha.
Hi to Rikki, Belle, Helen, Kell, Meg, Annie, Anna**, AnnaT, Nelle, Rach, Jodi & Sharleen and all other lovely September Mums.
Laurin :)
Just a quick on to say hi.. and Nessa woo! on the win!
Have been burning all the videos we have of Jesse onto DVDs.. making the intro etc today.. will freezing my a$$ off!!!!!!!
Am off to meet a friend tomorrow.. so if i dont talk to yall before then, hope you have a good day.
Hi to all!
Ciao ciao
xx
I have borrowed a vapouriser from mum and have put it in James' room tonight. He doesn't seem to be breathing as loud atm, so hopefully it is helping.
Maz - I agree, I have let him be a lot snottier while at home. Poor bub tho - he woke up from a sleep with boogers everywhere!!!
Laurin - bet you are hanging for DH to come home, even if it is someone to handd bub to so you can have a break!
Kell - have fun out with your friend.
I will be AWOL for most of tomorrow. An elderly family friend passed away, so I am going to chilly Ballarat for the funeral. Hopefully James has his morning sleep in the car on the way, and doesn't be a cranky pants during the serivice.
Kell -
Hey girls... does anyone know at which point I need to get Xander seen to? I know gastro can be pretty yucko, but he still has the trots pretty badly and is not (IMO) drinking enough. I am having trouble counting how many wet nappies he is having as I am needing to change him before the nappy gets wet enough. At a guess, if he wasn't poo'ing, i honestly think he could use maybe 2-3 nappies in a 24 hour time frame. He is still alert and babbling, pulling to stand etc - though obviously very tired (but he isn't sleeping well either, even for him), his fontenelle is a little more sunken than usual. Other than that, I don't really know what to look for...
I'm posting this in the main area too
I have no idea Anna - $hit but if your worried take him to your doctor...your always spot on with your gut.
Anna**-I would take him to the dr anyway. The wet nappy thing doesnt sound the best and it is better to be safe. Some babies can be happy when they are sick, and you said that he has had trouble sleeping but is still really tired so it is obviously getting to him. A quick check-up at the dr's wouldnt hurt. I hope that he is feeling a bit better by the time you read this, let us know how he goes. Huge hugs for Xander.
Love
Yep i agree! Off to the drs just to be sure.
1 more sleep until my sis is here for 4 weeks!! So excited.Im going to go to mums and clean up abit and get some food staples for her.
Millana still got her snotty's so no swimming lessons for her.
Aarons work car is still having problems with the clutch.So fustrating.Keeps going in to be fixed and then sent back.The clutch keeps sticking to the floor which is rather dangerous.
Hope the funeral goes well and james doesnt get too grizzly.
Hiyall!! hope everyoine is ok except for colds and flus.
Dont make my mistake Anna, take him off to the Drs or Hospital. If he is dehydrated theyll put him on a drip and youll be amazed at what a difference it makes! One thing the Paediatrician told me in hospital is babies have an amazing way of acting totally normal until the poo hits the fan and it becomes serious, which is why I didnt even know Jett wasnt well til he got real sick. They can also have times where they pick up and seem fine and then crash again. I hope he gets better soon, ugh I cant imagine how hard gastro is for a baby/toddler.
Maz - Yay on 10wks chica! ``````````````````z - um thats Jett saying Hi to Vy :lol: Its been -3 here of a night, nobody told me it would get that fricken cold. Im ready to move to Bermuda. That car sounds fabo but I wouldnt buy it as I dont drive manual (yeah I know Im lazy lol)
Chrissy - hope Craig is doing ok and that your getting some help with everything *hugs*
To Mums who's bubs have colds - I use the Fess noses saline spray. Its a nasal spray that you just toot up their nose and it dries up the snot. I clean Jetts nose with a q-tip, he fights me a bit now but he gets some super boogers and I am a person who cannot stand seeing boogers in peoples noses, makes me want to pick them lol
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII to everyone else!
So I took Jett to the GP on saturday because the rash got worse. Turns out he's allergic to amoxyl (even though he's had it twice before with no issues). So now he cant have that or any form of it. Since I stopped giving it to him the rash has disappeared, thankgod his ears are clear or he'd still be grumpy. He's just about back to his normal, naughty self but is still sleeping through 5 put of 7 nights *YAY does happy dance* Last night he slept 8:30 til 7am, then back to bed til 9:30am! I feel like a new person. Inlaws arrive on thursday which is exciting and DH goes on holidays for 9 days on Friday.
Oh and my m/s has definately dissapeared :dance:
Morning all,
Anna**- How is little Xander? Did you end up taking him for a check? When Ash was unwell and I wasn't too sure I rang the emerg dep at my local hospital and asked there opinion if I should bring in or not.
AnnaT- yay on the m/s being gone, you must be feeling alot better without it hanging around. 5 out of 7 nights sounds fantastic, ahh what a dream, Ash has started to shorten her sleep times again, I'm hoping its just cause of her cold.
Meg- Good luck with James at the funeral, sorry to hear someone close to your family has passed away.
Kell- I still have to do that. We've got little snippets of Ash at different ages on one of those old video 8 tapes, somehow gotta get it onto something else so MIL can do editing on her computer, I don't know much bout it, but she was gonna make it all nice.
We went out to dinner last night for BIL birthday. I won't be going out again to a restaurant with poor Ash. Firstly they booked for 6:30 which I wasn't too sure bout cause Ash goes to bed usually at 7:15, then they had no high chairs so we had to sit with a squirmy tired baby and try to eat, the service was slow. Df had gone in with others to get a banquet but had to leave before finishing, got to 9pm, I felt so guilty cause Ash was obviously really tired. So we just had to leave. I feel like a bad mummy now! So no more restaurants for Ash, or me unless its an early dinner.
Just got back from the doctors... the doctor doesn't think it is just a simple case of gastro as it has been ongoing for over a week. He is suspect of giardia - but I have to get a poo sample to test. Oh yuck, yuck, yuck. He most likely picked it up at good 'ol playgroup as a few of the kids have had the trots as of late (be nice if the parents informed us before they showed up at playgroup)
AnnaT - Woo hoo that the m/s has gone.
Maz - Are you starting to feel better yet?
Meg - Hope all goes well at the funeral today. Sorry to hear of the loss of a family friend.
Caddie - Didn't you just get that clutch repaired a couple of months ago?
Yes we did anna but it wasnt fixed properly so now its been put back the 3rd time. Its really giving us the s..its and its something we need not worry bout.
Giardia,yucko.Poor xander.Do they give ab's and im sure a poo sample will be easy.lol
Annat,glad the ms has eased.I suppose if jett is allegioc to amoxyll you will have to be careful of other allergies?
I so wish ruby would sleep the night but makes it difficult when she goes to bed at 630pm.She woke at 1030pm for a feed and the n another at 245am then slept till 6am. Bit of a pain but not much i can do really.She has slept thropugh only once.Millana in bed with us again but after i have fed ruby usually go steal her bed.
okay,im tired and its only 1130am.So sad.Better go do something to wake up!!!
Nessa,i dont know how i have done it either.I think gee,9 months with out a full nights sleep.And with Millana there was only like 2 months when she was 1.5yrs that she slept through.So a few yrs now without a sleep. Im a little grumpy and stressed at times.
I havnt done much today.Scrapped a page of myself and the girls,baked some muffins for when my sis comes home and did washing.Cant really go out in the cold with millana's nose being snotty.
Girls we dont do dinner either.Way to hard.We usually have dinner as a family around 5pm/530. Would love to go out to chinese.
I tell you, next time I won't be doing dinner unless its an early one like 5:30 meet up or 6 at latest and no where with slow service! Although the food was very nice.
Anna*-Hows the fun with the poo spec going?
Caddie- Do you find you just get so used to little sleep its how you function? I find I'm so used to getting up twice to Ash that on the nights she does sleep really well I find I'm really tired the next day.
HI Girls
Anna - how is Xander - any news on him??
AnnaT - Happy for you that the morning sickness has gone - you can start to enjoy life a bit more now.
Maz - How are you feeling?
Meg - How did James go at the funeral, hugs to you at your loss.
Caddie - Didn't you just get that clutch repaired a couple of months ago?
Sh*t, I felt like I was going to lose it last night with Rylee, her sleeping is really getting me down - she woke at about 1 am and wouldn't go back to sleep till 3 am - I had a splitting headache and felt like I should be checked into a mental institution. I dread nights now as I know they are going to be hell. I feel like checking into a hotel by myself to get away from her - that sounds terrible - I don't have anyone here who can give me a break and look after her - apart from DH and he is always bl**dy working or asleep....enough of me.
Hi to all the other mums.
Have a good day!
Laurin :)
Hi - James was a little Angel at the funeral. Everyone kept saying to me "Is he always that happy??" He hadn't slept for 5 hours, and he was a little charmer. as soon as we got into the car to go home, he sung to himself for a bit, then went to sleep. Slept all the way home, and some. I ended up grabbing the laptop and sitting in the car with him for another hour when we got home!!! The funeral was for an elderly family friend. It was totally expected. It was a great funeral. (Well as great as they can be) Very light hearted.
Laurin - Hope you have a better night tonight.
Caddie - mmmmm muffins!!!
Shell - I only go out for dinner if I can rope a Grandmother in to staying here with James.
Giardia I know a few people that have had it. Not pleasant.
Maz - yay! 10 weeks!
Hi to everyone else.
