ETA: Okay...well this is a really long post...mum always said I had verbal diarrhea...guess that translates to my typing! So sorry, I'll bold the topic for each paragraph, so you can skip what you're not interested in, okay?
LOL well I think the confusion is over...I just called the family assistance office and quoted the number and she was like um I think you said the number wrong, this number's for a single gentleman...and I said is it Randall and she said yes and I said well that's my husband
I guess he's accidentally put unmarried on his form, silly git.
Well, I couldn't give them our bank account details yet anyway, cos our claim hasn't been processed yet - hurry up medicare, I want to go shopping!!
Speaking of shopping, I did go and spend the coles myer card Kmart have a toy sale on now, so I got the carry around play mat (catalogue page 28) for when we visit friends and cos it's easy to pack up for home too. And I got the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium (page 2), cos it's $30 off and not my money anyway! He seems to like it.
Though it won't go in the cradle, cos it's waaay too chunky for a little bed. So I've slightly rearranged and put it on a small table so he can see it.
Soo glad I got out today though, I think I was getting cabin fever or something..
And River's cold seems (I hope!) to be getting better. We'll see...I am like the saline drops/aspirator/euky bearub/cot elevation nazi!!
But enough about me.
Owww Caddie, hope you recover quickly from your cold! And hope your sister turns out to be just fine (on a probably not helpful note, I read the other day that breast cancer survival rates are the best they've ever been...praying it's just a cyst or some other harmless thing).
Congrats to those who had a good nights sleep last night! Mine was pretty crap, was up from 2 - 4:30, feeding changing and watching him..he spuked up some really thick mucous so I don't know...guess that was the sort of thing he choked on...made me a bit nervous...just couldn't sleep. Here's to a great sleep for me, Caddie, and anyone else who lost out on a good sleep last night!
Wow on Xander's weight Anna! You must be doing something right.
Shell, I try and find a parents room, I fed during our church's annual general meeting (soooo boring) but I went right up the back. I've got mates who feed wherever at church, but River doesn't help my modesty too much, one minute he's feeding and then whammo, he pulls off and arches his back and I'm too busy trying to stop him from falling off my lap to cover my boob! We're getting better though. I fed at the expo too, if you can't feed in public there, well where can you feed!
I imagine feeding would be less uncomfortable if you had someone with you too...just cos you could chat with them instead of thinking 'where do I look..if I make eye contact with anyone will they look at my boobs?'
All the best with tomorrow Maz, maybe plan a little treat for yourself to look fwd to? Even if it's just a frosty fruit or a frozen coke. Or fish and chips and a movie...hmm..might call Rans and see if he has any money...yum...
About the Krispy Kremes Sharle, apparently they're the best just freshly made. Not sure if they're worth ALL the hype, but they are pretty good, you can see why people get fat on them cos they don't taste all heavy and doughy like donuts can, so they're very more-ish. They're kinda fluffy-ish. Maybe not worth driving 45 mins to get (though they are on the way to the In-laws!) but if there was one locally I'm sure I'd get them more often.
Shell - do you live near Chadstone? What suburb? (I promise not to stalk you) Krispy Kremes openings can be pretty hectic, when Rans and I got them from Fountain Gate, it was a few months after they opened and I reckon he still lined up for over 30mins!
Hope your headache got better Merrie. Do you ever get called Mez? I always go to call you Mez...not sure why.
Helen - glad you popped in! ETA: Lol Adele at pinning Akira down, hope that went well!!
Yay just got on to Rans and guess who's having fish & chips for tea tonight! It's definitely fish & chip weather here in Melbourne - can I hear an amen to that, Melb girls?
A big hello to those I haven't mentioned, and if you're feeling neglected by me, let me know and I'll make the effort to not forget you next time! It's just so hard to personal to everyone and I'm worried I'm missing the same people time and time again!
Take care lovelies! xo (And babies - sleep well!!)
