Far out ladies - we're doing it tough today! Big hugs to Ange and MM especially!!
Hayley - do you know why you're getting headaches - do you think it might be a side effect of being on the pill? (if so see your dr for a different script). Also it sounds like you might be feeling a little depressed as well? Worth getting some support if you are, Clare's suggestion is a really good one!
BTW I found a pretty cute little vid on youtube that shows a wheely bug just like E's, here.
Far out Ange, so glad Luella is ok! V. scarey, esp with the vomitting! Also good you're getting on top of the bladder infection, they can be sneaky like ear infections and even sometimes tonsillitis! I'm sure she will be feeling better soon. Also, don't waste your precious energy feeling guilty, it never does any good at all!
Clare sorry to hear about your granduncle. I didn't realise you were feeling depressed - good to hear you've found some support and are feeling better already! I haven't heard of the Mamabike so I'll google that later on. Not sure about the throwing backwards, E went thru a stage of doing this when we were holding her but mostly seems over it now.
Gracie - jeepers nauseous lady! Take some ginger, any which way it will help you feel a bit better!
Cally - You'd love season 1! I had it all on my harddrive but deleted it recently, pity! I spoke to one of the ladies at QE2 today, she sounds really nice. I'm feeling better and better about going now.
Leanne, how are those pooin' kids of yours LOL! Wow sounds like you're getting pretty excited about the party. IKWYM about not believing your babies are 3 already - imagine how I felt when my lil girl turned TEN last week! Where does the time go?
Well I had another little stroke of op shop good fortune today, found a little snow suit in E's size (yay!) as well as a little rocking horse! It's solid wood and well made so I'm stoked!
hi everyone
wow it has been busy in here!!
MM and Falguni - sounds like you have been having a bad day - big hugs!!MM i think it sounds like it woul dbe good for you to have some rest, so a drop off at your parents sounds like a good plan to me, dont feel guilty over that if you can do it! i took N to FDC today just so i could have sme me time and went to the hairdresser, felt bad til i put it in context of how good it is for me etc etc and really it does him no harm at all. my guilt would do more harm! take the time for yourself honey, you need it!
Ange - so glad Lu is ok, it sounded awfula nd my heart was pounding reading your post - i am so glad she is ok and that you guys are too.
Leeanne - wow party central!! I guess I better start thinking what to do for Mr N. i think we will have 2 parties - 1 here and 1 in melb. sometimes i feel like i am living 2 lives LOL!
Thanks for the cograts re work - still dont know if i am crazy for doing it but my excitement weighs out other feelings (the eternam guilt, fear etc etc). i think i will end up with overnighters - the day trips and exhsuating and also i dont get as much done as i should for the effort. it is scary and for DH to to think about doin anight without me, but i am sure once we start it will become part of the routine and voila we will be fine. have any of you noticed a much stronger bind bn your dp/dh and bubs lately? i feel like my DH is coming into his own - he has always been pretty good but i think til recently eh got a bit frustrated that when push came to shove he couldnt do much and when N really cried he got stressed. now he is so tender with him and much more comfortable with what to do with him - it is beautiful to watch.
best be going - we are going to sydney tomorrow for the weekend and lots to do here to get ready.
Aw thanks girls for the advice. I dont think its depression, I just feel so run down from being sick and I'm getting peeved that I cant shake it. To top it off I'm not getting much sleep due to Maddie not being 100% herself. Those two combinations make me loose the plot, I am a person who needs 8 hrs plus a night! Also the thought has crossed my mind that this darn pill is making my emotions loopy. MD the headaches are from my cold, they are sinus headaches and they make you feel horrible.
Pregpan - Have fun in Sydney! I agree time out does a world of good for us mummies. I dont know if I will be dropping Maddie off with my parents anytime soon though as they are going away this weekend. Doesnt matter I guess.
Clare - I didnt realise you were feeling depressed, I might take your advice to talk to someone. I dont think I am depressed, but maybe I am in denial?? So sorry to hear about your granduncle thats so sad.
MD - OMG how cool is the wheelie bug!! I want one for myself! That little girl is gorgeous.
Falguni - Thats exactly what has happened, she had a shocker of a runny nose last night & must have got a heap in her eyes and irritated them. So now they are all yucky. Bummer I didnt know snotty noses could cause conjunctivitis!
MD- Pooing is going great finally I think we are becoming regular. I was so excited last night as Xavier finally did a poo on the toilet. Toilet training I have found to be quite hard. They both wee on the toilet but when it comes to pooing they just wont. Always requesting a pull up on so they can poo. Well last night I had no pull ups left and told Xavier that he just has to poo on the toilet and after a few words he finally did it. We sort of made a big deal about it and took him to the shop to get a chocolate and congratulated him on doing it. lol lets hope it happens again today.... Jordy is going great now too. I should have a sign on the front door... WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF POO.
Hayley- I hope you feel better soon.
And to all our sick mumma's and Bubba's I hope you all get better soon
DH had a work dinner last night and even though he came home for playtime before he left it must have thrown her routine out. She did not want to go to sleep. So much for my night of blobbing on the couch!
MD - the wheelybug looks great fun. I think we will get something like that for K's birthday.
MM - can DH take over resettling with M tonight so you can get some decent sleep? It's the weekend so he can always have a nap tomorrow. How's her eye this morning?
Pregpan - have a great time in Sydney. Wow, a haircut, not sure I remember what they are...
Ange - poor little L, how is she today? That would have been so scary when she started vomiting. I thought I stood on K's hand last night but it was just something she was holding and that made my heart race!
Well we are out of bread and milk here. Had to have yogurt for breakfast! So I think I'll be wandering down to the shops and getting a burger for lunch (mmm, yum). And some milk so K can have breakfast tomorrow.
Went out for lunch yesterday with PIL. K was so good, had fingers of broccoli, carrot and pumpkin and a chunk of pear for dessert. And it didn't go all over the pram which was lovely. I thought we were going somewhere with highchairs but ended up changing.
Well I really need to do some cleaning today. The place is a disaster zone because I've been TV watching the last few days. Look out bathroom here I come!!
Cally- She is much better today, although i think she had a headache last night, she just wasn't herself. The poor thing didn't sleep too well.
MD- I managed to pick up a cow wheelybug at a secondhand baby and kids market recently. It was a steal! They are the best toy. Infact i think they have won loads of awards. I know what you're saying about guilt, I am forever saying that it is a wasted emotion, but i tell ya, that black cloud of guilt just sneaks up on you when you least expect it! Nice wcore on the rocking horse and ski suit. We live about an hour and a half from the snow here, so hopefully we get some snow so we can head up.
MM- I'm not 100% bu ti think you can get the drops for conjuctivitis over the counter at the pharmacy. I think thats' what a GF told me, although i could be totally wrong.
Pregpan- i presumed you would stay in Melb for the 3 days, wow that's one big day at work! I have definatley noticed DH being a bit more interactive, but i tell ya what i do feel like a big nag alot of the time. Why do men need so much prompting sometimes?!
Garcie- Hope you and the little man are feeling better today and that you don't have gastro.
New house rule- either bare feet or shoes for Lu, not as slippery on the lino.
Well I feel like a new woman this morning. Early to bed last night. Maddie did wake up twice but all it took was a dummy in the mouth and she was off again. I also feel alot better and for once have woken up without this headache. Still have a runny nose myself but ah well feeling better thats the main thing. My only worry is its 9am and Maddie is still asleep, I hope she isnt too sick, her eyes look crusty
Maddie is 9 MONTHS today! Crazy.
MD - Well you have DP and I hooked on wheely bugs. We watched that video so many times, the girl is such a cutie. How do people make videos of their kids like that, they must have a special editing program, can anyone recommend a good one? So anyway we are keeping our eyes open for one now.
Falguni - Thanks I will check out the pharmacy today.
Cally - Our house is always a disaster zone lol.
Leemar - LMAO at welcome to the house of poo. Yay so glad Xavier did a poo on the toilet, thats good that you made a big deal out of it then hopefully he will get the idea that he has done the right thing and keep on doing it!
