Well, 5 inches of snow turns into a lot of watery mush. We are trying to move house this weekend. My brother came up to help and ended up being stranded here for the night. The roads finally opened about 3pm so DH has gone to get the last load of our stuff. It is hard to move with a baby. I can't do a lot to help because someone needs to be watching him all the time.
H, it isn't actually that cold when it snows. It is worse when it is windy with icy rain. I put Will in his snow suit and let him play in it but he didn't seem overly impressed.
Rainy, do they show 'In the night garden' over there? It is all the craze with 3 year olds here, my niece wanted all the toys for her 3rd birthday. It is a horrid show. W likes it. I wasn't going to say because I thought you wanted a boy, but my feeling is that you are having a baby girl.
MD, the roads around here get closed to all vehicles. DH tried to go the back way this morning but there was a massive slip blocking both lanes so they waited an hour for someone to come but no one showed so they came home again. How did the baptism go? Bet E looked adorable.
it seems we have all been busy bees this weekend!!
Rainy: IKWYM! i sometimes think it would be lovely to have another girl, as leila has been such a breeze and you've been there done that with one...BUT, then i see my friends boys and go awwwww! all those gorgeous vests courdoroy trousers! too cute!
Arte: ha ha maybe we should start a 'what is G having poll?!' LOL. another friend of mine is pg with no2 and we have bets on that she's carrying a boy...aided by her 'feeling' that that's what it is! i had a feeling that i was going to have a girl. i remember when the sonographer told us, i was like, cool, just what i thought...LOL! DH was too concerned asking whether there was 1 or 2 bubs in there to hear her!
wowsers, that's quite alot of snow! hhmm moving with a bub and blocked roads...noice!
MD: i hear you sista! my MACH nurse wanted me to go counselling offered at the hospy here but i was like NO WAY! i took one look and the vibe was all wrong, so now i have been given the details of a lady just down the road from me who specialises in PND and anxiety stuff (yippee!). also i am off to the belly belly pg centre talk on pnd and anxiety thingy. pretty excited about going, i love feeling proactive!
Pregpan: SNAP!! i was just talking about mt ainslie to DH today as we were reminiscing on the huge walk we took up there when i was 26 weeks pg!! i almost passed out! LOL!! such a great walk though, i felt sooo buff. i am sure a few of the passers-by were a bit scared that i'd pop the baby in front of them though going by the looks i got...
red hill was a nice walk, we lived just off captain cook crescent, so it was a hop skip and a jump for us (and stella the dawg!).
great to hear that you are feeling better! although a 2 year old party will test those waters for you!! brave brave woman!
Sherie: aww thanks sweetie! i have to say that ATM i am in a good place about it though, i have the joy of living vicariously through several friends ATM and i am enjoying that.
AFM: well am feeling pretty tired today as we went on a ginormous walk along parts of the yarra river, then stopped for coffee and cake, then some more walking - including off roading with the bugaboo as DH got us lost...so i had a nanna nap this afternoon and am feeling refreshed! man fresh air takes it out of you lol!
we are being inundated with house guests for the next week, which i am not too impressed about, DH only told me today, and they are arriving tomorrow...uurrghhh.
BUT! and for the canberra girls....it would appear that we are firm on being in canberra on the 12th and 13th of July...as in, NEXT WEEKEND (and poss. monday)!! so i will keep you posted and probably mid week will have definite details, so we should catch up!!
Arte, thank you very much for mentioning "in the night garden" - now I have 'yes, my name is iggle piggle, iggle piggle, iggle piggle piiiiiiigle' I don't like that show at ALL! LMAO. Alister seems to like it though.
G, I love that I have both genders, I feel really lucky. And yes, a 3yo girl would love unicorns LOL.
arte- i can't believe you think i'm having a girl! you guys have to start throwing some names at me ok, i have no idea.
my friend's dd LOVES in the night garden. is it too young for a 3 yo though? idk?
clare- i love cordorouy pants on lewis!
last time we didn't find out the sex but i think we might this time.
sherie- you are very lucky having both sexes. the best of both worlds!
G: LOL!! i knew that he would have curdorouy pants LOL!!! if i have a boy thats the first thing going into the shopping trolley...oh, and if you have a girl i hear that leila is a GREAT name he he he ...
Sherie, I was prepared for the Wiggles and Hi 5 but I wasn't expecting the mind-numbing stupidity of 'in the night garden' lol
Leanne, How was the party? Bet the boys had a fantastic time.
Rainy, no good with names sorry. Actually if we have another boy I don't know what we will do because we couldn't come up with anything. My maiden name was Richardson so I always thought I would give a boy Richard for a middle name but then DH's family give the first son the fathers name as a MN. I am really relieved actually, because I just realised that W was nearly William Rodney Richard which shortens to Willy Rod **** lol
Clare lol about your DH checking for how many bubs, that was my first thought when a baby shape came on screen - thank god there is only one in there!
Rainy I think a doula is an awesome idea. Its a shame I am not in Vic or you could have been one of my trainee births (once I actually get around to starting my course lol).
MD glad the baptism went well. Sounds like lots to do at your place.
MM yeah Logan was crawling at around 7-8 months (I cant remember how bads that lol). He is cruising the furniture now and will walk if we hold his hands.
No plans here today, it is meant to rain again so my billion piles of washing will have to wait another day. Think we might just kick back today and do nothing.
Doula's a great idea Rainy. Extra support always great. But do you mean your DH will not be at the birth and will be staying home to look after Lewis? Or are you planning a home birth? I'm not sure i could do it without my DH there!
I dont get those shows like 'in the night garden' where the characters make silly noises instead of talking?!
Clare- i too would have killed my DH! An hours warning would be better than none! We had DH's boss knock on the front door when we both had gastro the other week. DH answered but i was too busy throwing up. I was sooo embarressed, the house was a mess, and i couldn't drag myself away from the toilet!
Katie- My days sounds just like yours, i was going to stay in my PJ's, but all this talk of surprise guests, i think i better get dressed!
Does anyone have any problems with biting or pinching? Lu is getting another tooth and bites me, on the arm, shoulder, tummy, anywhere! I say no and put her down. but i'm not sure if i am doing the right thing. After all she is only 9 months and i'm not sure she knows the extent what she's doing.
She also pinches while she's BF'ing, or having a cuddle and tired. it really hurts, but as she is relaxing and drifting off i don't say anything just try and hold her hand, so she cant pinch. Should i be doing something different? any tips?
