Babies Born September 2007 #32

[reneenay]

Hi Guys!

Spoke to MCHN and she said Rory's behaviour is perfectly normal! YAY!!

Rory slept from 7:30 - 9:00am the other night! I just about had a heart attack when I woke up and he wasnt awake! I hope he doesnt do it again! This week he has cut his day sleeps down to one in the morning and one in the afternoon. He is a ball of energy now, constantly crawling around the house, bouncing in his JJ and bashing toys! He has a permanent smile on his face, he is just so darn happy!

Looking forward to mothers group now as there are lots more babies Rory's age. There are twins now too eeeep! The thing that bugs me is when the mothers dont supervise the older siblings they bring along! Last week a 5 year old boy was jamming Rorys fingers in the baby cubby house, the mother saw and did nothing! Arrghhh!

Oh and we are booking our holiday to Bali on Saturday, only staying 5 nights but we got a fantastic deal!

Happy birthday Cally!!!!!!!!! Thanx for the jaffa muffin recipe too hon! Between both BIL's, my mum, DH and me they lasted hmmmm 1 day!!! Im addicted!

Katie - What a fantastic idea! Whoa very creative I bet Lewis is having a ball. Im too much of a anal anne to do something like that haha. I need a kick up the bum! We are in the process of child proofing now, we just bought some wooden barriers to block the steps and kitchen. The plastic/metal ones were $90 PLUS so I got the cheapo ones for $25 but they dont have a gate.

Welcome Suzie! Looking forward to getting to know you and Georgie better (lovely name btw)

Pregpan - I thought it was a computer-life term haha, like 'iykwim' LOL! They are at a great stage arent they! I love it! It seems they are learning something new every day. Have you booked your Christmas Holiday????

Clare - italian playgroup, that sounds awesome!! Hope you have a great day!

Noni - Im still so excited for you I would so help you with the packing if I lived by you! I love packing and sorting, its so cleansing! I threw so much away when we moved a few years ago!! You were signing the lease today werent you?? Dont worry about Asha's bottles, Rory has gone through that stage too so has Maddie.

Sherie - Awwwww I wish I could see! I cant get over how active A is! Rory comando crawls everywhere and occasionally pulls himself up onto his knees.

Leanne - So glad Jordy is better. You brought a smile to my face when I read your post. You can relax now! How is DH feeling about his op??

Hayley - Pooor Maddie! How is she today? I cant even imagine how you must of felt taking her up to the hospital Hope your okay xxx What porridge do you give Maddie??

MD - Happy Birthday to H!!!!!!! Was her party this weekend???? I bet she is going to have a ball

Oh god! I was vaccuming and Rory was next to me as he likes to chase the vaccum (I cant remember if thats how you spell vaccum!!!!!!) around. I dont know how but I managed to knock my beautiful purple vase off the entertainment unit and it missed Rory's head by mm! Glass went everywhere and do you know what I said.....'dont move Rory', I must have rocks for brains!! Between that and his fat lip from face planting it into the carpet when playing with his Uncle I feel awful!!!!!!!!!

Ahhh I dont know what to do, Maddie just wont stop coughing. Its worse at night. She has been having coughing fits and just cant seem to stop. Last night was a shocker and tonight wont be much better, I can hear her coughing away now. Poor things throat must be red raw as she wont take a bottle or food without a dose of panadol first. Its a very nasty bug this one, I am sick now too, my whole body aches & I feel like I have no energy at all. I cant even run my fingers through my hair because it hurts!! I tell was struggling big time with looking after Maddie today - I feel very naughty because it was pretty much a tv day, with Hi 5 on repeat all day. I rarely use the tv so feeling a bit guilty. Ahhh mothers guilt does it ever end!?

Renee - There are a couple of older kids at my mothers group too and they seem to be a little outta control, with no limits from mum. I wonder where the discipline is too, but maybe we will be in the same boat when our littlies are older. Maybe sometimes you just give up and let a few things slide? I dont know lol.

Clare - Italian playgroup sounds wonderful, I dont think we have anything like that in Perth. I'll ask my DP, he would love for Maddie to have a bit more Italian influence in her life.

Cally - Happy birthday hope you got spoilt rotten! Oooh cant wait for you to open your pressie, how sweet is your DH!?

Katie- Love the painting wrapping paper idea! You should wrap pressies for the grandparents in it too, they would love it.

Suzie - Welcome! Yes we've had a few nights of crying and wondering what is it thats upsetting her, only for a tooth to appear the next morning. It all makes sense then doesnt it.

Noni - They do put a notice on the door but seeing as Maddie is only there two days we would have missed it anyway. Ah well what can you do, at least we know what it is now. Bet you are excited about moving, what does your dad think? Is he sad to know that you guys will be going and taking Asha (obviously lol)?

Pregpan - We are going through the nice stage with Maddie lately too. They love being nakie dont they!

[*noni*e*]

happy birthday cally!!! sorry i didnt post that earlier..
haley - i dnt know how he feels about it i think he might regret not spending much time with her despite living in the same house coz now we will be a few suburbs away n living in the same house we hardly spend any time together.. its kinda sad.. about tmw i am really nervous the forever pesimist in me wont feel safe until the lease is signed and the keys are in my hand!!

[Cassius2]

just a quickie to say a big hello to Suzie!!! welcome to the group!! we chat alot so jump in anytime!

and also to MM: hold strong sweetie. this must be really tough for you. i can only imagine. i remember the mad dashes to the hospy with Leila. feeling like a bad mum is, i think, par for the course at times! and remember if there's doubt, there's no doubt. if you think she should see a dr or go to hospy, just go. they would much rather laugh about us anxious mummies then have us not go and have sick bubs at home...(at least that's what they told us the hospy where we had leila).

goodnight to everyone else who is doing the midnight trawl! i'm off to bed!

[Trillian]

Awwwww Hayley, don't feel bad - when you are both sick you just have to get through it the best you can. Its hard, but no one will hold it against you for having a jammy and Hi-5 day When she is coughing, as hard as it is for you to hear her so worked up, she needs to cough to get all the plhegm off her chest and ease some of her congestion. If you are up to it, give her back rubs while she is coughing and even rub some vicks into it.

Noni, everything will be FINE!!!! You will get the keys and you will move in without a hitch. Maybe your dad wont appreciate what he had till you've moved out?

Renee, don't worry about it - I would be a bundle of grey hairs if I worried too much about stuff that I've accidentally done to the kids when they were babies LOL. Like this morning for example, I was rushing around getting the older two ready for school and Alister will just crawl after me, trying to grab my dressing gown as I go past, well today he grabbed it, but I was moving too fast and I bowled him clean over. And then there are the times when he plays with the vacuum as I'm using it and I knock him over with it LOL.

Katie, we've got ordinary weather here today too, but we really need it now - things are looking very worrying again this year.

Cally, you are made of stronger stuff than I - I wouldn't be able to wait to unwrap a pressie LOL Do you have an idea what it is?

I am off to Wagga tomorrow with Lindsay for another appointment with his opthamologist (just a check up and hopefully a weaker prescription for him) and SHOPPING!!!!! I have been saving for ages so I can hit the sales LOL. They are all doing them early this year too.

[Leemar]

Hi Girls,

renee- DH is feeling ok about the op.
Sherie- Have fun shopping and hope L appointment goes well.
Hi Suzie and welcome
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTERDAY CALLY
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MD H

Hayley- Poor Maddie hope she gets better soon.

[Patooties]

Morning everyone

Hayley - your poor sausage. I hope you're both feeling better today. Have you raised one end of Maddy's cot at all? Sometimes that can help with the coughing. I wouldn't worry about the tv time. Kids learn alot from watching tv - and most of the kids shows are education these days.

Sherie - i'm loving your new av. Sexy mumma!!!

Suzie - hi and welcome looking forward to sharing this adventurous journey with you!!

hi to all of you other lovelies as well
