Sorry I haven't been back to post but everytime I read through the chatter and start to familiarise (splg) with everyone Aiden decides that it is time to wake up!! So sorry about the slackness !!!
I think that is going to take me awhile to get to know you all, I kinda feel that I am intruding by only joining now -
Sorry to all the bubas and mumas that are unwell
Aiden has 8 teeth!
Gracie - I hope that your little man is ok. Dr's are so hard to see these days! I had to change GP's with Aiden because it took 2 weeks to see him and that was no good with a little one - now it only takes 3 days
pregpan - Congratulations with your new role, sounds exciting and challenging
reneenay - Congrat too for your job, it does sound interesting.
I am back to work next week only part time though. NOT looking forward to it! Only going back to ease the $$$ and take the mat leave again( hopefully sooner rather than later) !! I managed to get AIden in Child care and I waiting to get him into FDC but having no luck! We have no family here so it makes it hard! Ahhhh well what can ya do
Hope everyone is well, and I will get to know you all soon
well i'm back from the dr. waited an hour to basically have the dr go all goo goo gaaa gaaa at lewis, play with him and tell me how cute he is.
great.
i could've gone to the bakery for that and at least i would've come back with a pie....
for those of you into online clothes buying- i just got an absolute bundle of bargains from spencer lacy . com. heaps of bargains.
clare- you might like their clothes cos you're into metalicus.
hi chepie and welcome back what state do you live in?
on the teeth thing- lewis has 6. 4 top 2 bottom.
i want some sloppy kisses!!! lewis doesn't kiss, i think he's taking after his dad who is impossible to get a pash out of
wow pregpan- job sounds great!! you are such a go-getter i love it. makes me feel like such a slack arse sitting here in my velour tracksuit eating red rooster chips
when you stay in melbourne, whereabouts do you stay?
I've been a bit slack with the posting lately, just trying to get over this horrible bug. Maddie seems much better, but the chesty cough is still lingering and probably will be for a few weeks now according to the doc. All I need is one night of sleep!!!!!! Its caused a few arguments between DP and myself as I dont usually expect him to get up seeing as he is working the next day. However on the nights where I have to work the next day a bit of help would be so nice iykwim. I'm also feeling like a mean mummy lately because I feel like I havent had the energy to give Maddie much attention, I have to drag myself out of bed at night to go to her. I dont know if its this bug or what but I'm feeling like I've got no motivation atm. I really feel & look like a zombie, I've even fantasied about dropping her off with my parents for the night. Is that bad!?
Noni - Hope the moving is going well, havent heard from you for awhile so it must be keeping you busy.
MD - We still only have the bottom two teeth, but I think theres movement happening with the top teeth as we have rosy cheeks and a bub who doesnt want her bottles anymore.
Chepie - I hear you on the doctor being booked out for wks. If I'm struggling to get Maddie in I bring on the tears and they say bring her straight down hehehe naughty.
Pregpan - Your job sounds so glamourous! Congrats on the promotion!
Renee - Woo hoo that job works perfectly for a mum! Great hrs. Yay!
Gracie - Did you sort out the rash? How scary! I also have a DP who lacks initiative when it comes to Maddie...That eye cream sounds good, I've got SO many wrinkles around my eyes its not funny. I've got a set of 80 yr old eyes!! I laugh wayyyyy to much, they are all laugh lines but they look like granny wrinkles lol.
Arte - Lol thanks to your DH for his compliment!
Trillian - Sorry to hear about your shocking night the other night! How did last night go? I'm in the same boat as you atm with the sleep.
Leemar - At least theres no constipation in your household atm!
Falguni - Hope you guys get over the gasto bug quickly. How about doing some study to keep yourself stimulated?
Sleep here wasn't the best again, but I think it was more belly pains than anything else. DH started nightshift last night so I just put him in bed with me and he farted from 6-6.30 this morning LMAO.
Marydean, Alister has 6 teeth now - one came through yesterday. How were the (.Y.) after E's great sleep last night?
Gracie, it ****s me to tears when I have to wait so long to see a Dr for 5 minutes. Erin has had Roseola too, when I was pg with Paige and apparently it can cause complications in the unborn, but there were no dramas. When the rash appears all the other stuff makes sense then doesn't it?
Sorry for lack of personals everyone - my mind just can't put anything together today, but I have been reading.
Chepie, don't feel like an intruder, just jump in whenever. I am glad I don't have to go back to work yet, I have no family living close by and there really isn't a lot in the way of daycare in rural NZ.
Gracie, hope L gets better soon
MM, don't feel bad about thinking of dropping Maddie at your parents for a night. I know how hard it is when you have had no sleep and you still have to look after bubs all day regardless. Would they take her for a night? A good sleep will do wonders.
Pregpan, gee you sound busy! I think I have had a busy day (and so can justify not cleaning) if I go to playcentre and the supermarket in the same day LOL
Leanne, how is the party planning going?
Sherie, go Alister! I know you wanted him to take a bit longer to walk, I can understand why now LOL. This morning I left W playing with some toys and went down the hall towards the toilet and glanced back and he was walking after me LOL. I guess he is officially a toddler now. It is so amazing how quickly they learn things, only 2 days ago he would only walk to and from people, now he lets go from the couch or anything and goes where ever he feels like it.
I am down at my mums for a few days visiting which is good. Apparently it is snowing at my house so I picked a good time to come down.
wowser things have moved fast here in the last day!! a girl can barely keep up!
Gracie: he he he...i totally hear you on the 'oh so sexy' tracky daks. i have to admit that the guilt sets in when the clock reads after 1pm and i am still sporting the sexy numbers. and yes, i too have the ubiquitous ponytail...sometimes i flash it up with a head band LOL!! will be checking the online stuff out...need all the help i can get.
ohhh how true! i dream of the days before leila where i could sleep in excess of 12 hours!!! arrghhhhh!
MD: boo hoo, leila is STILL COMPLETELY toothless!!! she is about to be the last bub in group without teeth (even the 5 month olds are outstripping her!). that said, she can eat anything you put in front of her. she'll be a pro when she's a grandma!
Chepie: nah dont feel bad about dropping in! i too was a latecomer and have just argey barged my way into things! LOL!!
yeah the drs are pretty bad. leila has a doc, but we dont. alot of the clinics here are not taking new patients, so if DH or I get sick we have to go to the massive 'walmart' style doc surgery...
Sherie: sending you lots of zzzzz's for a good nights sleep...in fact, the same goes for all us ladies! (esp. MM!!).
MM: no. it is NOT bad to take maddie to your mums for the night. my friend sent her DS of 5 months to grandmas house for the night while they went out to an engagement party, so one night for maddie so that you guys can recuperate is not asking too much. sometimes a good sleep is all we need to feel 100% better!
Pregpan: yeah we get the big sloppy tongue, drooly pashes that usually end with leila sucking on our noses too. so gross and yet, so awesome!
Arte: lucky escape!! i have to say that i am really enjoying the mild winters here in melbourne. i said to DH the other night that if we were still in canberra having to endure another freezing winter without decent heating i would have gone bonkers. that said, the gale force winds out tonight are a bit hair raising as i can hear the gum trees straining, and my poor dog is a bit worried so have bribed her with liver treats and given her a doona to lie on top of her bed in the kitchen. i am a sucker i know!
AFM: things are pretty good. leila is getting over a small cold, have been having a few wakeups associated with temps, but she slept really well last night (down at 6.30 up at 5.30 and straight back to bed til 8.30). i figure she is catching up on the lost sleep from the other shocking 20 minute dance off night...
she has also started trying to really talk. she now points at DH and tries to say papa, and stella is 'dulla'. everything else, including me is either 'da' or 'ta'...not feeling left out at all!!
teeth are feeling nominally better. although i have to say that braces are hard work. brushing my teeth is now 3 times a day and because i am a novice takes close to half an hour. not happy jan!
anyway, big hellos to those i have missed. just had a glance back and realised that this is a whopper so had best head off to bed!
I love my tracky daks!! Although it is nice to get 'dressed up' in my jeans and jumper when we go into town.
MD - when do you head into QE2? We have 3 teeth here, but I suspect number 4 will be making an appearance later today or tomorrow - I can see it through the gum.
MM - take Maddie to your mum's for the night so you can catch up, you'll feel like a new person. I'm sleeping in the spare room tonight, my ears need an earplug break from DH's noises.
Gracie - lol at your bakery comment!
Prregpan - your new role sounds good, are they all going to be day trips to Melb or will you have sleepovers?
K still has a bit of a runny nose. She is holding her ear a little bit but seems well in all other respects so I don't think she has an ear infection.
Well the washing is finished, so I might go and hang that out and then watch another Big Love episode. I watched 4 yesterday, really enjoying it.
