morning all!
WOW gracie - well done, I am so happy for you and cant wait to see the pics!! Good on you! The fire sounds lovely and your DP sounds wonderful... lucky you!
CMumma - I will also be a working mum soon - maybe this week!!! If I do the local job I start (travel to Melb) onThursday... so frustrating my job thing is still up in the air... anyway I guess the trut is I will either be 3-4 days per week at the end of this week (EEK!!!!!!!) or full time from later in themonth if i go with the other one so we can share the ups and downs together.
My DH is discussing working 4 days per week with his work today, so hope that happens - it would be great! I have to call FDC today to comfirm we will go ahead withthe lady I met last week, so that is great relief! I would also like to chg my name as I am no longer preg!!! ha ha!!!
Must admit to you all, I am a little scared that maybe i AM preg... dont think so really but i do have this unexplained flu like symptoms which I had last time - fatigue that comes on all of a sudden, achey bod etc (and nothing else) - this is what happened with me last time. *****!!!!!!!!! off to get a test today, i think it is REALLY a remote poss but man that woudl throw a spanner in the works!
Can I do a little woooooooo hoooooooooooo here??? we now seem to have Noah on 3 day sleeps a day... they are only 40 mins but i must say compared to 2 weeks ago when he had no sleeps i feel like we have come along well. so i am feeling happy with that.
His teeth are coming along - 1 is through but teeeeny weeeny and one the gum is split but no sharp bit yet. he has been rpetty good through it so far, up in the night screaming but we have only had to do max one dose of nurofen each night for the last 3 nights (none before that, i am so loathed to give himstuff), no bonjella (i hate it) - i have been using a weleda powder which is good. in the day he is clingy and a bit whingey and less laughing etc but generally good. TheFDC lady told me vegemite works well for sore gums, i did give him some toast w vegemite on it and he licked itall off - cute.. and it did seem to ease the pain a bit so that could be a tip for some of you??
BTW how do you intro toast fingers (for example) or other large bits of solids? do you let them gum off bits and just watch that they gum them down? i am nervous about it but i think N is ready. DH is V nervous about it but we can see N is ready.
I am mixing his food up a bit as he loves eating so much... for bfast this moring i made up a tiny bit of porridge (just used normal oats with some formula) and stirred his fruit through it - went down ok. should i be buying baby cereals or is this ok? he loves all fruit - pureed nectarines and peaches are the current faves! I am also interested in Hayley's q re weetbix, he eyes ours off all the time so i would love to give it to him (i think there are kids weetbix???). so i hope someone knows if this is ok at this age?
Renee - soexciting rory's chatting!!!!!!!!!! and saying mum - well done! how gorgeous! i cant wait til N can talk!
Noni - did the friend get back to you? any news on the house?
ok gotta go, hope you are all having a good day
