hi everyone
sorry have been MIA - we went to syd for the weekend which was good until my poor little man got sick (again - MM he is bfed and i feel guilty and wonder if iam doing something as he is always getting sick - the rational side of me tells me this is just the 1st yr and they willpick up lots of bugs). he had v high temps for a few days, we ended up taking him to hosp on sun night (again) and when we got there he had a rashy thingon his hands and feet - i freaked out but it went quickly and they said just bc of temp. anyway long story short we styed in there til 3am - had to 'catch' a urine sample - not easy!! and they said just a virus he is fighting. he has hardly slept in the whole time - though he did last night alot better. today he has a really bad cough and runny nose so i guess thats what he was 'fighting'... DH ishome with him today so i can work as i have heaps to do - i took yest and i guess i willprob taketomorrow as well as he cant really goto fdc like this. poorlittle guy. i worry why he is getting sick somuch. i also wonder if dh and i panic too much about it all.
Rainforest - love the new name!!
Noni - i would be p'd off at dp too - no advice sorry!! but maybe sit down with him when you are all calmand discuss how much you do. also could someone watch asha for you for a night (maybe your mum) and the 2 of you could go out together - it sounds to me like you need some time alone.
MM glad you are a bit better - clever maddie! N is alsonot crawling - he kinda 'swims' on the ground LOL!! i reckon we are amonth off too. i am not really worried about it. he hasnt showed signs yet of tring to pull himself up, but he does love to be in standing pos to play etc.
Cally - it isv windyhere today as well. wow the double pegging!!! i dont think i have put the washingoutside in over a month! the clothes horse is a permanent fixture in our spare room!
where is Renee?
clare - soundslike you have so much fun with leila - and have had quite journey yourself... thanks for the metal bowl tips - we have a few metal mixing bowls which N will play with tonight qwhen i get home
md - when is dh goingaway?? ohi feel for you - 3 months wouldbe hell. my dh is also goingaway again in july - for a week - right over my bday. i am so unimpressed!
ok gotta go do some work - hi to all who i missed!

talking about windy!
we've just had a tree fall down on the roof of our 2 garages. has gone through the roof of one.
made the most almighty noise. scared the sh$t out of me. i ran into the bedroom and grabbed lewis out of bed cos i was so frightened.
all is ok now, dp came home from work and is sorting it out now...

[Junglemum]

OM*G Rainforest! It sure is windy here too. Was there anything in the garage that is no longer? Are there any other trees that could fall on the house? I would have had to change Lu's nappy and MY undies after that! Glad all is ok with you and the little man.

Not long ago your user name was Blair, now it's back to Rainforest?!

[Ginger]

everything in the garage is ok.- just the roof has been damaged.
there are trees everywhere around here. we might have to look at getting someone in to do some maintainence.

seems there was a bit of a mix up with my username. i think it's all sorted now.

gosh Rainy how scary! hope u dont mind me calling you rainy!!!
meant to tell you all - Noah's latest fave food is pasta (risoni) with cheese, tomato and tuna sauce... v easy and he wolfs it down. i found he slept really well after eating it too...
i make the basic cheese sauce which i posted a while back (for the fish dish), stir in some passata or pureed tomato and then a tin of sirena tuna in spring water (flaked). easy. you can make up a huge batch of the sauce and freeze it. i give it to him with lots of sauce and he eats HEAPS of it. yummy for adults too!! other things he has been trying - veal and mushroom ragu (he also loved this), baked zucchini and tomato risotto - both of thesewere our dinner mashed for him...

[Ginger]

i love rainy!
noah eats better than me

[reneenay]

Rain - Jesus!! Im glad everyone is okay! I remember you were worried about the trees last time there was a storm. Is it a storm or just wind??

Pregpan - Your making me hungry woman!! I bought some tinned samon, do you have any ideas one what I could make Rory with this?? Your poor little guy, he hasnt had a good run has he? I hope he gets better soon hon.

Blair- i'm making a chunky dark choc and banana cake, it's my fave!

oh my lord, that sounds amazing! Im still addicted to Callys jaffa muffins haha.

Noni - How is your new house going??? Bummer about the smell! Maybe burn some candles or buy a couple of those glade plug-ins. I still remember the smell of our house when we bought it, it wasnt smelly it was just someone elses smell iykwim.. Sorry to hear you DP is being a pain in the backside, men are good at that haha!

Just got back from the chemist. It seems to be Rory's sinus, you can see it under his eyes too. They gave me Dimetapp and told me to use it with baby panadole. Silly me didnt ask how though. Do I give him a dose of panadole and dimetapp at the same time?? Seems like alot of medicine for a little baby!

Saw a great CAT truck set on sale at k-mart. Must grab it for Rory for his birthday. Everything in his room is truck themed because his daddy fixes them!
