hi md - that's so great that E is sleeping much better for you through the night. I'm the same with Hannah when she is awake. I tell her how much i love her, and give her big squishes. She's not getting upset when we go in her room, so that's a good sign as well.
Marydean, glad to hear that you are getting some sanity back and that Miss is is settling easier for you.
Jaz, that's a great result for you and Hannah too
Noni, if you don't have to file a tax return, then you need to call centrelink and tell them or otherwise your payment will be held up while they wait for you to file one.
thanks for that sherie i'll do that asap so that when dp files one it all comes through coz i assume it is based on what he earns too..
the people across the road just gave me a massive dolls house coz they didnt want it anymore.. this thing is soooo huge you could use it as shelves or something on the inside lol thats how big it is!! thinking of sadning it back and painting it coz the colours arent overly nice lol..
just a quick one from me as we are about to head back to melbourne...
JaZmum: i remember some information that i used for a talk i gave on baby sleep for my mums group, and we all found the sleep strategies used by Karitane to be really gentle (and adaptable). i'm not sure i can post the link, but if you type in karitane into google, then it comes up with their website and you can follow the links...
Another bad night for me last night. I took the boys to the dr today and they have a virus so now they are on antibiotics...
MD- Yep they told me we were not entitled to it.
Noni- WTG on the dolls house it sounds great.
Jazmum- glad its getting better with H CC
Art- WTF thats wrong of them.
Better go.. Hello to everyone. Will catch up later
hi girls
sorry i've been so MIA
dp has been in sydney so i've been staying at my dad's place cos i'm a scardey cat! and i don't like being here alone at night.
he is on his way home now and we are heading out to a romantic dinner just for the three of us at 6.30. i'm so looking forward to it.
lewis has been sick again. i feel like every time i meet up with one particular mothers group (i have 2, long story) lewis comes away sick. it has happened 3 times in a row now. it makes me not want to go to that mothers group as i feel like i pay for it for a week afterwards grrr
the meetup looked fantastic girls. you are all stunners and the babies aren't bad too
wouldn't it be fantastic if we could all meet up somewhere one day?
arte- way to go on the ttc thing! i was unsure about my fertility but as you may remember we only really tried for a period of about 2 weeks? before i pulled the pin and said i wasn't ready. i'm not sure the exact timing of everything, but it really was a very small window of opportunity- and i am still breastfeeding flat out!
i'd be very upset about the dog thing. can you push it and say that you will move out if they don't allow the dog inside? hopefully then they would just let you to avoid the hoo-ha
ange- cooking for 11? are you kidding me??? i'm hard pressed cooking for 3 and a dog.
leanne- sorry to hear everyone is so sick. look after yourself ok?
noni- i love dolls houses. how fantastic!
clare- i may have to google that info too. i've just ordered the book 'no cry sleep solutions' so i'm waiting to read that to get a few ideas.
mm- lewis likes the tommy tippee sippy cup the best. i got it from safeway (woolworths).
hi sherie and md
jaz- best of luckon the cc thing. it's so hard isn't it? lewis is still in our bed and i feed him back to sleep all the time. i'll probably have to think about making some changes before #2 comes along
Rainy, how have you been? I ordered the no-cry sleep book and the very day it arrived in the mail he started to sleep better lol. I haven't even read it yet, I was just happy that he started to sleep for 1.5 hours for his day sleeps without needing to be fed to sleep half way and he wakes every 2-3 hours at night now which is a fantastic improvement from every hour
Got to go, DH having trouble dressing wriggly baby
ETA Rainy, in the end the only reason that W started sleeping longer than one sleep cycle is that he got a cold and his nose was too blocked to feed back to sleep very well so after a couple of days he started sleeping the whole nap without bothering to wake.

MM, we have the Heinz non-spill sippy cup but unless they know to suck hard you basically have to take out the non-spill valve to get any liquid to come out so it isn't that great. We also have a Tommee Tippee non-spill straw cup. W loves that one, he walks along with it hanging out of his mouth because he can clamp onto the straw so he doesn't need to use his hands. MD suggested the Avent magic cup, I was looking for that but decided you couldn't get them here and so got the TT one, then the next day I found it.
Noni, tax confuses me too. I am going to fill in the etax and if we get a refund I will submit it, otherwise I won't bother lol
MD, glad that E is sleeping better for you. When does your DH go?
After making us wait 5 months for our house to be ready then letting us move in, the housing manager has just told us that the dog won't be allowed inside When the shed is finished next week she is supposed to move out there. If they had told us that at the start we could have found somewhere else months ago. She is 10 and has always been an inside dog. She would bark and bark if she was left out there. We are not sure if we should complain or just sign the lease and let her in anyway. Honestly the baby makes far more mess on the carpet than the dog.
