aaaaaggg i'm so friggin nauseous today. knowing my luck, just when we decide to not ttc until january, i'm probably already utd!!
just kidding, i've probably got food poisoning or something, but i definitely feel like spewing.
cally- glad we've got someone else to talk about big love with. did you watch season 1 as well or just join in to season 2?
my dad tried to pick it up at the start of season 2 but found it too weird.
leanne- you are such a party animal these days LOL :dance:
clare- yes lewis slept through the alarm but it was me that was bl**dy woken by it. so annoying. lewis is being a total pita today though- he's doing that thing where he only wants to sleep with my nipple in his mouth. it's so wrong!!!
yes i think you need some new trackies. i have turned into the queen of trackies and hoodies this year :) very roberta williams.
lewis doesn't really move in the ergo on my back. sometimes he'll have a whinge if i stand too still eg. trying to do the dishes or something. he wants me to always be moving.

I have had a shocker today. Lu keeps trying to let go of whatever she is holding and stand on her own but the balance isn't quite up to the brain. I went to have a shower and DH was watching her. He turned his back for 2 seconds and she fell and cracked her head on the lino. I heard the crack from the other end of the house. I ran out and DH gave her to me, she went all still and limp and quiet for a few seconds which scared me, then she started vomitting. At this point i kinda freaked out! Took her to Dr, fortunately all is ok, but scared the crap out of me.
I had already taken her to the Dr yesterday about her ongoing intermittent temp. Got a urine sample and turns out she has a bladder infection. So now on AB's and hopefully back to normal, the poor little thing has been through the ringer lately. I need to get a helmet i think. :doh: Talk about mumma guilt. It's running high over here.
Enough about me :rolleyes:
We have the back carry with the Ergo mastered. I needed help in the begining but i can manage on my own now. I started by putting her in when it was on my hip and sliding it around. It's a bit of a stuggle and i am sure alot of people get a laugh out of me putting it on!
Gracie- hoodies and trackies is my uniform! :lol:
Is anyone on here called Tiffany? Someone from BB has requested to be my facebook friend, but i only accept people that i know IYKWIM, so before i reject them want to make sure it's not one of my new friends in here!
Sorry for lack of personal posting, it's been a big day.
-
**** ange!!! so glad lu is ok. how scarey for you hun
are you still online now? i want to pm you about something

I've had a horrible day so far. I finally got my act together and left the house (yesterday I had to go out and started getting ready at 10.30 but didnt leave the house till 3!!) with our passport applications, only to find you have to have an appointment to drop them off. Talk about emotional, I almost burst into tears at the counter! I controlled myself though and made it back to the car, where I had a cry. I dont even know why I was crying really! When I was packing Maddie's pram into the car I was yanking at my bag stuck under the pram, it wouldnt budge. So I said the F word whoops and turned around and there was a nanna giving me the evils and tutting at me, as if to say how can you talk like that around a baby. Usually I dont & I felt so bad. I just wish I could feel better because lately I feel like I cant be bothered with anything. I wake up with a pounding headache every morning. Then this morning Maddie woke up with very crusty eyes, in fact her face was covered in it and they have been red and sore all day...oh please dont tell me its conjunctivitis AHHHH! Anyway thats enough of my boo hoo poor me rant.
LAMO Gracie at Lewis doing his sleeping with the nipple thing. Typical male!! At least you wear name brand trackies, I've got the el cheapos from bestandless hahaha I wouldnt be caught dead outside the home in it though. I desperately need new clothes!
Jazmum - Congratulations and happy anniversary. Did you end up getting an outfit?
Leemar - 3 wow has the time flown by? I cant believe one day I'll have a 3 yr old.
Clare - Thats really nice that your DH can still say your sexy even when you dont feel it. How sweet!
Arte - Cant believe you have a toddler now, thats crazy. He is doing so well.
MD - Whats a wheelie bug? You are an ebay queen!!
Trillian - Sorry to hear you had a bad sleep also, but had to laugh at Alister and his trumpet bum!
-
Falguni - OMG How scary!! So glad she is ok now. Especially the vomiting bit thats scary. Poor thing what a shock for you all.
-
Still here Gracie. ;)
MM- Sounds like you've had a shocker too. When bubs have a snotty nose and rub it in their eye it is easy fo rthem to get conjunctivitis. Hope its not, and hope you feel better soon, feeling sick really gets you down.
-
MM: i hear you sista! i find that when i am tired and/or sick i get pretty emotional. i had a shocker yesterday as we were out all day and i had a head cold coming on. i was also trying to organise last minute tickets for my opa (grandad) to fly to holland as we just found out his brother has terminal cancer and was told he has a max of 4 weeks. so i guess with that news i was also pretty emotional.
make sure to not feel to bad about it tho'. you have to let yourself be cranky and upset at times, it's better than bottling it all up. and remember if it seems to be getting really down go and see your MACH nurse. I went and saw mine the other week and she was great, got me in contact with a good PND support group (panda). and even just after one big chat to one of their counsellors i have felt a WHOLE world better!! :hug: to you!!
-
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!

Morning Yummy Mummy's,
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- :hug::hug::hug: I hope you feel better soon.
And to all our sick mumma's and Bubba's I hope you all get better soon:hug:
Hey I wonder how Noni is going in her new house.
-
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!!
-
Thanks everyone for thinking of us.
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?! :rolleyes:
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!

MM: Marydean's Surefire Sinus Cure
* Use Fess nasal spray - use it several times a day, maximum number of sprays (ie buy the big bottle haha).
* Soak a facewasher in water that is as hot as you can stand, wring it out, let it cool for a few seconds, then fold it into three and place it over your eye/sinus area. Relax. Make sure it's hot but not so hot that you burn yourself. Repeat this 2 or 3 times over a few minutes, then do it several times a day
* Drink lots of water and as many hot drinks as you can get down (recommend trying some nice herbals like lemon ginger twist)
* See the dr in case you have a *real* sinus infection and need ABs!!!
HTH, sounds like you're feeling really miserable. xxx PS DH uses an editing program for work called Adobe Premiere, you can get all those special effects using it, but you need plenty of RAM and drive space on your puter to use it.
Leanne, I bet you never thought you'd see the day where there was a) so much poo and b) you were so glad to see it! LOL Are the boys getting excited about their party now?
Gracie, how is L today - and how are you hun?
Pregpan, enjoy your weekend up at Sydenee. Your DH will be fine once he gets used to it, we've all had to weather parenting alone for several days/weeks at a time and come out ok the other end! ;)
Cally - Aw yum, ages since I've had a burger! Might have to 'go shopping' soon myself. Well done K with the tidy finger-food eating! We've got this fabric thing (actually made to hold them in the shopping trolley) that you can strap bubby into a regular chair (has to have slats and not a big hole at the back tho) which is often quite handy when we're out and about.
Ange, I know what you mean about slippery feet. I've rummaged through plenty of untidy baby sock displays to find the socks that have the little rubber grip pads on the bottom. Bonds does them and I've got some Rio ones as well but I haven't seen them at the shops again. When DD1 was little Bonds did wondersuits called "little adventurers" that had the grippy pads on the soles of the feet - aaah wish they still made those! Excellent once they are toddling about.
I had the parents as teachers lady around today, and she gave E a shiny metal mixing bowl and a spoon to play with - talk about keeping her entertained! The bowl was especially good cos it makes such interesting noises but it also catches the light and she can see her reflection in it. Am going to look for one at the shops today!
-
Hi Girls,
MD- The boys are really excited about their party. Its wonderful to see their faces. I too am very excited.
Hayley- I am so glad you are feeling bettter today. Re the crusty eyes you can buy the conjuntivitis stuff from over the counter at the chemist but I have found it doesnt work as good as the stuff the Dr Prescribes.
Ange- Glad to hear Lu feeling better
-
i'm baaaaaaaak!!!!!
had a few dramas re connecting the internet grr the company we were with wanted to charge us $145 to relocate the service and $40 to disconnect lol so i signed up with a new company.. didnt like the old one anyway made sure when i signed up there was no rediculous fees like that for if we moved lol..
well weve had all the usual moving house dramas lol my dad hit the fence with the moving truck so theres a bit of aa gouge out of the wood there that we needa fix lol the fridge died and we are borrowing my mums second fridge and the crappy old washing machine someone gave us dosnt wash properly lol that and the rediculous amount companies charge you to get things like electricity set up lol.. all in all though its really nice to finally be in our own space and not worry about anyone else.. Asha is loving it crawling around as she pleases shes got 3 teeth now and the 4th one is coming and the teething poos are like nothing i could have imagined!! the rash that goes with it is pretty awful too!! ummmm what else asha is pulling herself to her feet now instead of just her knees which is pretty exciting!!
hope everyone is going well havnt had a chance to catch up on everything yet as the postman literally just delivered my modem and i was so excited i had to come straight on and post coz i felt so isolated without the net!!
:) good to be back hehehehehe
-
YAY! Noni's back! :dance: We've missed you hun, everyone's been wondering how you're going in your new house! Sounds like all the regular moving dramas (I don't think I have *ever* had a move without at least one appliance dying) and how funny is your Dad hitting the fence with the truck! Sorry shouldn't laugh but a fence-hitting story is always good value! I KWYM about those teething poos, aaaaah pure acid I think. WTG Asha pulling up onto her feet (gotta move everything another foot or two higher LOL)!
