WOO HOO NONI!!!!! that is awesome news. way to go!!

MM: the only advice i can offer re the cold is yeah the vapouriser, the fess sucker thing and raising one end of the bed (white and yellow pages are pretty handy for that kind of stuff). the only thing i can say is that this too shall pass, and little m will be much stronger for it...

thanks for the tips Arte! i have been pondering and basically flying by the seat of my pants...
LOL at the cat. i caught one of ours trying to bite leila the other day. she was chasing him around the lounge, so no doubt she was deserving it, but still...these cats have got to learn to be the bigger person in this situation LOL!!

Ange: mmm stock. wish i had the patience. i know that my DH would start to take over if i made it and probably add way too much salt...and yeah, not sure how much is safe. i know that the books say no salt, but that is pretty hard, esp when you have a DD who LOVES vegemite!

Pregpan: I know!! i was so bummed when i got sick as straightaway i knew that i couldnt go with DH...although we are planning a holiday to the gong and canberra for end of july. and we have promised ourselves more time in canberra, so we can have loads of coffee dates!! mmm, already dreaming of tosolini's italian hot chocolate....
eeeeppp! i would have been so unimpressed with the ILs too. luckily mine are on the other side of the world, so i only have to see them once or twice a year. even then, it sometimes seems to often!

Sherie: yep, we are fast recovering. i made DH go out and buy yakult to get the tummy balance right again. i seem to have recovered faster than him though. although he is a male, so maybe it's not really that bad!
ha! i cycled the 5 minutes into uni today and it almost floored me, so seriously, i am sure you are miles ahead of me!!

okay, best be dashing! chat soon!

CONGRATS NONI!!!!!!!!! Thats fantastic news!!! I bet you are thrilled to bits Now you have a place to relax, just you DP and Asha ahhhhh!!

Still trying to book Rory an appointment with the MCHN and its becoming a joke! Ive left over 3 messages now and still no return phone call! I feel better now since I have spoken to a few people, it seems to be normal. It hasnt happened since and looking back both times he was extremely tired.

And my BIL is officially dating my best friend whoohooo! They are going out to dinner Wed night and they are going AQWA with her daughter on Sun

Art - Glad Will is sleeping better for you Rory didnt understand it was bedtime last night too LOL! Archi & Milton secretly love Rory haha but they play hard to get. He pulls their tails, fur etc and they let him! I still keep a close eye on them though. Looooooove the pics of Will & his painting of FB!

Welcome Falguni!!

Pregpan - Im glad you survived your IL's visit Pooooooor Noah! Was your FIL upset when he spilt coffee on N?? Its great you get along well with them though, what IL's dont give us the *****s from time to time haha. I remember my MIL telling me that Ill have deformed children if I dont eat more Veg (back when I was dating D).

Gracie - Im completely confused with the names on FB too haha, we will get there though!

Sorry better run, my girlfriend was around for HOURS and ive got sooo much to catch up on.

MD, did BFC have a good birthday? Did he get any presents?

Noni, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Will fell off the bed today. He had a red mark but it seems to have disappeared. He always calls me when he wakes but this time he decided to go and see the heater at the end of the bed. Lucky I turned it off this morning.

Congratulations Noni- you wont know yourself in your on space, you can run around nude and everything!

Cassius- The salt thing is really hard. I was wondering if i should give her vegemite or not. I put a tiny scraping on toast for her. But alot of things have salt in them, cheese for example...... i guess that's why i though i little bit of stock would be ok.

We only had one sleep here today, it was a 2 hour one, so i guess that's not so bad, although i feel like she needs 2. She's been up since 12, watching me potter around outside making a bird feeder. Hopefully she sleeps ok tonight.
How many sleeps are you guys managing a day?

Artechim- Poor little man, hope he is ok. Last night Lu pulled a magazine off the coffee table with a coffee mug on it, the mug fell on her head and gave her a big egg. I felt so terrible. They seem to get so battered.

Trillian- i meant to say i was watching a show on TV the other night, a woman started a business making goats milk soap because it was so effective at relieving her sons eczema.

Just a quick post for Noni - congratulations hun!!!!! You must be soooo terribly excited. Now for the fun part - PACKING!!

Hello Ladies hope you are all well....

Bit of a selfish post:

Feeling like a TERRIBLE mum today. We just spent the past few hours at Princess Margaret Hospital with Maddie, she has bronchiolitis! I went to work today, while my mum babysat. I booked a doc's appt for as late as possible, at 4.45 and left work early. So off we went at 4ish and she looked and sounded terrible. Well I should have said stuff work and got an early as possible appt, because I rocked up to the doc who took one look at her chest and said she is struggling to breathe. I almost died, I felt incredibly bad. He said go to the hospital asap. She also wasnt taking any fluids or solids during the day which was extra worrying. We got to the hospital, absolutely fretting, and she was a good girl and took a bottle. Then they gave her ventalin a few times and that helped alot too. We just got home, they decided not to keep her o/night because she has started taking her bottles again. I have to keep a very close eye on her for the next few days. Sherie was it you saying a few weeks ago that a runny nose can run down into the chest and cause infections? Well thats exactly what happened to Maddie, so its a lesson learnt there for us not to take runny noses so lightly.

Must add, big congrats Noni on your house!!!!

[*noni*e*]

thanks for all the congrats guys!! i will feel much better when we have signed the lease and have the keys coz i am a bit paranoid but we have started packing and we are really excited!!
i am pretty sure you were just talking about this butwhat do your bubs have for breakie? asha has been haviong that raffertys cereal with some pureed fruit mixed in pretty much every day.. every now n then we give her toast n vegemite but i dnt think its as filling.. yesterday i gave her weet bix with half milk half hot water and the fruit on top and she absolutely loved it.. dosnt seem to be any probs with the milk.. anyone got any other ideas or is asha doomed to eat cereal lol?? maybe theres diff cereals i could give her for some variety atleast?
oh haley your not a bad mum!! you didnt know it was serious and everything turned out ok sorry maddie is sick though hope she gets better asap!!
ange - asha has 2 day sleeps but they are only usually a half hour one in the morning and if i am lucky and i keep bouncing the bouncer when she looks like she might wake up in the avo she can sometimes go an hour.. i wouldnt worry 2 hours is great!!
arte - lol bloody heaters! asha is really interested in ours too even turned off grrrr... i caught asha by the ankles the other day just before her head hit the ground off the bed lol little bugger!
