Well the Italian blood is showing in miss Madeline, the canneloni went down really well last night, she loved it! DP wasnt there to witness it but when I told him he couldnt wipe the smug smile off his face.
I took her to the doc this morning, just as well, as she had a bit of an ear infection starting, so we've got antibiotics so hopefully we can knock it off quickly now that we've caught it early on. Also her conjunctivitis has flared up again. I thought I'd got rid of it, I was getting sick of washing linen & toys & basically everything she's touched every day lol. AND her cough, well we just have to wait it out but the doc seems to think the antibiotics may help it a bit. Poor Maddie she is in the wars!
What can I give her to counter act the antibiotics iykwim? I know myself they kill off your good germ fighter thingys and can lead to other nasties. Pregpan what did you do, Noah was on antibiotics wasnt he?
Little boys doodles LOL well cant say I call them that myself. LMAO at big boys Sherie.
Trillian - Thats so cute that Alister says bap bap, what a clever cookie. Poor Lindsay he was sick not long ago!
Rainforest - Everyday when I jump on I search the posts looking for your announcement! Is it a baby!???? Please tell!!!
Jazmum - Yay good to hear he is healthy & developing well. Is this her first child? A boy will be nice after your 3 girls hehe. I will always remember the look on my dad's face when I told him I was having a girl & remember him saying not another girl lol. Of course he loves her to bits though but he has always hoped for a boy to take surfing!
Cally - My DP is the same & he gets it from his father, they hate paying for anything.
Noni - Wow Asha does eat so well thats great, at least she isnt fussy. How are you liking having your own place?
Arte - Aww can imagine Will splashing in the dogs water, little cutie! I cant stand to see people stuffing junk down their kids throats and at 10 months old thats terrible! My MIL is constantly trying to shove junk down Maddie's throat, hot chips, sugar...it goes on & on. Its ridiculous and this is why I dont like leaving Maddie with her. Maybe I am being paranoid but she doesnt need that kind of food. So many times I have asked her not to do it but she said to me once to 'get over it' and since then I've been too shocked to tell her again. Anyway so far I've managed to keep MIL and her unhealthy eating habits away but still...I'd like to be able to trust her & not have to constantly tell her no. Ahhh I could go on all day about this LOL.
Joels girl - Hi!
Anyway I must keep it short, we are going out tonight for tea (hopefully Maddie will have a decent arvo sleep) and I still have to clean the house. Hello to everyone else!
MM - why do grandparents insist on feeding bubs yucky food - they don't know what they're missing!! MIL has asked a few times if K has had ice cream yet. Last time I flat out said 'she won't be having anything unhealthy for a while because I don't want her to develop her fathers bad eating habits'. (He can eat a family size block of chocolate between the supermarket and home). Must admit that I haven't wanted to leave K with MIL by herself now she is on solids as I'm not 100% sure she won't slip something extra in her lunch. Although she knows that DH would have a go at here if we found out.
Maybe we call the ****tail frankfurts 'little boys' because we had all girls in our family. That was just what mum called them (she was from SA, need MD to come back and tell us if that is what they are over there).
Think I have a coldsore. Not impressed. Will be very hard to keep it away from K if I haven't already given it to her.
Jaz - yay, a nephew! Now you have a reason for buying all the gorgeous boys outfits you see.
Trillian - poor little Lindsay. At least he was well enough to do the grocery shopping so you got that out of the way. wow at A's 'bap bap'
Just a quick hello from me. Thought I might have time to actually sit down and catch up but Logan woke up and is pulling all the cords under my computer desk.
So a big hello from me and I will try and get back on later.
arte - yes she had a miscarriage last November. Her fiance has a 5 year old boy that lives with them, but this will be her first.
Cally - my dh is total opposite - he will happily pay for someone else to do something if it means he can relax lol.
mm - i give Hannah Children's Inner health. Just a smidgen of powder on the edge of a spoon. You just buy it from the chemist. Does Maddie eat yoghurt? that can help as well. Poor little thing, she's not having a good run of late is she.
re the mother-in-laws - this is the time when you get dh to tell her that if she doesn't listen to you and follow your rules, you won't leave bubs with her.
a friend of mine was having issues with her MIL sticking her nose in - one day she'd had enough and told her to leave the house. MIL has respected her wishes ever since!
Hello Joel's Girl! great to see you back in here! ha ha i was wondering what the blog thingo is just the other day...might have to check it out...
JaZMum: ohhh congrats to your sis! how exciting! i LOVE it when i find out people are having bubs! it's such a fantastic time. it's times like this that i wish i wasnt an only child as then i could also maybe of been an aunty one day.
I guess when talking about the joys of the 'outlaws' we are pretty lucky as all our family is really far away. this has benefits, but can also be a bit lonely. i remember when Leila was born all i wanted was my mum around the corner to go and visit.
Ozstar: dont you just love the way the kids know when we are about to do something for ourselves...leila is especially adept at waking up just when the food/coffee arrives!
MM: yeah that's a great question about the antibiotics. us adults have probiotics to take...i guess as JaZmum said, yoghurt might help...
Arte: LOL at Wil playing the water! Leila is always making a bee line for Stella's bowls...she also loves chewing on her gross toys...eewwwww.
Sherie: i hope that L gets better soon. especially with hols coming! do you guys have any plans for the break?
Cally: i am impressed that your DH can fix cars!! my DH is flat out knowing how to turn on the TV! we spend a fortune in maintenance and middlemen!
Have to put it out there that yes, in QLD we call 'em cheerios. when i saw the ads for the cereal i was like WT??? as young kids we used to be given them for free by the butcher when mum bought the weeks meat. BIG treat! we used to eat them then and there, but a few years ago the health dept told business that they couldnt do it anymore as it was considered 'raw' meat.
Clare - the other day when i was at Woolies, the lady in the deli offered me a cheerio to give to Hannah. I didn't take it though. She really enjoyed eating the cooked one she had the other day though. I don't know what's in them, and not sure i want to know either lol.
