Wow Cally, she will be walking full time very very soon. Once they realise they can do it and not fall over, they are off and racing LOL. You're parents will be so surprised! I bet they can't wait to see her again.
wow Cally that is so exciting - your parents are going to be shocked!! i am sure they have missed K a alot and their other granddaughter too.. they must be bursting to get home..
Sherie - hope L had an ok night... and no signs of croup for erin (is it contagious?)
AFM not much news... just ploughing through work for the last day this week (YAY!) and preparing for next week when DH is away from sat and i need to do home with N, then melba nd then bali... EEK!
MM how is maddie?
well i am baby free today!! mum had thurs off instead of friday.. shame i have so much bloody cleaning to do!! borrowed mums vaccuum cleaner (cant wait till tax comes and i can buy one!) and have scrubbed and vaccumed the rug which looks much better and ashas playmat and under it too..
still have the bathroom to do and lots of washing although it lookd like rain oh and the kitchen is really bad too damn men and babies all they do is make mess!!
anyway no time for personals best be off and getting too it so i have some chance of finishing it all and relaxing for a while before Ash gets back!!
Cally: awwww that is so true! you're making me all emotional! they are just a delight at this stage. and it is really fun and lovey gushy watching them grow and become their own people. i even love witnessing the stubborn tantrum moments! LOL! i am sure that will wear off in no time!
Pregpan: good luck with the herbalist! wow, one step closer to TTC! what an exciting time!
ooohh Bali! on a day like today, it is sooo needed! august in canberra is the pits!
Noni: i am so jealous! (not of the housework! LOL!). but is nice being able to do stuff without a bub underfoot. make sure you make time to watch super nanny and oprah though! LOL!
AFM: well DH is back! YAY! and of course Leila decided to be healthy bouncy and laughing! so i look like the big fat liar when i told him that she has been screaming for 3 days...oh well, just stoked that she seems to be getting better.
my girl is almost 1. i cannot believe it. in my mind she is still that tiny 2.7 kilo bundle that we brought home from the hospital. this time last year i was as big as a house...thinking that i still had 4 weeks before she would be born...hah!
Cally - Awww go K, clever girl! Your parents will be so pleased. I know what you mean about falling in love with her even more. Every new little thing Maddie does makes me all emotional lol.
Pregpan - She's on the mend, thanks for asking! How is Noah going with the crawling?
Clare - I know the time has flown. They grow way too fast dont they?
Noni - Just spent all morning cleaning here. I feel like I am forever cleaning!! Now that M is on the move I am picking up after her even more, she throws around cd's, books, dvds and the other day found a candle and rubbed it all over the tv cabinet. All you can do is laugh! I need a new vaccum cleaner too, desperately.
Maddie has taken to standing in her cot, saying mum mum mum when she has woken. It makes me melt!
MM that is soooo cute! N is getting better at the crawling though it is still v commando or more of a shuffle along and he does not go far! he will get there... and from all the work that a crawler entails i am now in no rush for it to happen LOL!
I made some potato and mince croquettes for him - they are quite delicious and going down v well with him - v basic... so here is the recipe if anyone wants it.
boil 4 potatoes and mash
mix in about 400g mince meat, some chopped parsley and an egg
roll into small balls and roll them in bread crumbs
pat onto a tray (flatten slightly ) covered in oilve oil and bake at 180 for about 30 mins, then turn and bake another about 10 mins til golden.
YUMMO - i ate a heap of them too!!!
you could prob mix other thinsg in like cheese (i dont eat cheese w meat so i didnt) or paprika or onion too...
ok...soooo, i go to kindy to feed leila and as i arrive there is a little boy leaving to go to the drs...
one other baby is sitting on the carers lap and screaming...and has suspicious sores around his mouth and on his feet...(guess where this is heading!)
then there is another bub lying in his cot wailing in pain...also with 'things in his mouth' (quoting here).
turns out that there is foot and mouth disease going rampant through the baby room...hmmm, shouldnt the sick bubbas be going home???? i mean, highly contagious disease meets communal toys????
i'm not sure what to do? should i take her home and bring her back next week when (hopefully) it has gone? or am i just being paranoid?
and what do you do to treat F&M? these bubs are miserable! arghhhh....
sorry for the selfish post!
Pregpan: ha ha that is soo funny! i made something similar the other day and L was also really really into it!
MM: that's another 'awww' moment! L just says mummmummumm when she is hungry...ho hum. one day! LOL!
IKWYM about the cleaning. we have definite trails of destruction in our house. we couldn't lose leila if we tried as we would just have to follow the path of strewn objects... she has a thing for clocks. go figure.
anyway best dash and attempt to pretend that i am working!
clare - i would take her home if you can.... yuk!!! it is really bad that the sick bubbas are there - it annoys me that they dont call the parents straight away - otherwise everyone ends up sick. though to be honest i would think HFM is prob contagious before the welts appear??? i hope L is OK - i would be unimpressed. did you say anything to them?? yest when i picked up N the other baby that fdc looks after had gone home... with suspected tonsilitis.. (he had it before) - well this morning he is back.. and DH said he didnt look so well.. there is no way that he had been to the dr.... hmmm. when N is even slightly sick i pick him up straight away and he stays home til he is better - not easy for me but better for the other babies and MUCH better for poor sick bubba...
ha ha it turned into MY rant!!
i reckonthe crouquettes would be good with other veg as well - parsnip and/or sweet pot.
re Ange: she is on a family holiday in qld with lu and dh, sunbaking right now no doubt!
clare- please ring the council and rspca about the dog. someone else may have complained as well, so the more complaints the better. it really needs to be sorted out as that poor creature may end up attacking a child
pregpan- yah about herbalist- please come and join us in the preggo club!!! makes me feel like i'm not so crazy for having them so close.
all you girls and your travel plans are making me jealous. it is pouring here.
i had mothers group here and only 2 came. i made dp clean both toilets and no-one even used them!! oh well
i had no sleep at all on tuesday night. after having my u/s and announcing my pg on here 'officially' and everything- i woke up in the middle of the night and was bleeding. i absolutely freaked out that i was having a miscarriage. i never ever bled at all with lewis. i was sooo upset and just couldn't understand what was happening. i lay there awake for hours so upset..
anyway nothing else happened. on wednesday i did heaps of reading and apparantley 1 in 3 women have spotting during pg and it's no big deal. apparantley 99% of m/c occur in the first 12 weeks and i'm 13 weeks so i think i'm ok. it was just so scarey
i watched the news and saw that poor orphaned whale and just bawled and bawled. i think i just needed to let it all out..
eta- clare omg!!!! i would get her out of there quicksmart. can you get out of work and take her home?
G, when I was 12wks pg with Erin, I had a pretty significant bleed - so much so I had to put a pad on and I was terrified I was losing her. Luckily I had the NT scan the following week (first and only time I ever had it done - divine intervention there I think) and all turned out to be fine, and there was a small blemish on the placenta where it had bled from. So scary as it is, I'm sure the little one is fine in there.
Clare- Sorry can not help with the Hand Foot and Mouth Diease it sounds nasty though.
Pregpan- hope you have a wonderful time in Bali.
Rainy- hope everything is ok.
MM- Yep I too feel like all I do is clean and they are right behind me chucking everything out all over the place. Hope you too have a wonderful holiday..
Noni- Hope you enjoyed your baby free day.
All is good here ATM Olivia's Dermatitis is clearing up really well. The boys had there hair cuts this arvo and they look great. OMG there hair just grows so fast. DH is ok he was feeling a bit uncomfortable today.
Well better go X is still awake and refusing to go to bed....
Hi Leanne. Lindsay's hair grows really fast too - he has to get it cut every 6wks like me or it looks a right mess LOL. Glad Olivia's skin is clearing up. DH was fine for the first day or so and then the soreness set in for him too. Hopefully it should last too long for him.
G, how are you today hun?
Clare, I would have been a bit cranky if I were you. I hope she doesn't catch anything.
Well I have a rare Friday at home today. Paige has a chesty cough and I decided not to take her to preschool today - it's just not worth it. She isn't what I would call sick, but she certainly isn't 100% well either. But I still have to go to town later to do the grocery shopping (Its bare cupboards here LOL) and pick the other two up from school. I will have to miss Baby Bounce though I really enjoy it. But it will give me a chance to do the housework that wouldn't have gotten done today if I was out for the day.
hey everyone
whata cold morning! and the washing i left on the line overnight is all wet too coz itys been raining ohhh well.. i managed to put asha in her cot when she woke up this morning (much to her dissapointment) so she didnt crawl off the bed, she played for a while but when i woke up she was crying and it seemed like shed been crying for a while.. eeep think i should have probably just got up when she woke up been so tired tho.. she was up screaming last night too i ended up giving her panadol might be teeth havnt had a look in her mouth yet..
sherie - its bare cupboards here too.. though pay isnt until wednesday, tax should be in the account any day now tho... sorry to hear erins not so well, my friends 2yo has croup atm poor thing didnt look very well at all when we saw her..
lean - glad the dermatitus is clearing up.. little kids with spunky hair cuts is sooo cute lol!!!
rain - how u feeling today? hope your getting some rest! haha the preggo club!! i might be joining you all shortly on that one i hate being at the end tho lol i dont want ppl having their bubbas when i am sooo big and over it hahahaha thats what happened last time too!!!
cassius - i would be annoyed that you hadnt been called to come and pick her up incase you wanted to.. often though sad as it is, parents get called and for whatever reason they dont come straight away, or at all.. theres very little the centre can do if the parents dont come short of ringing an ambulance.. as i said tho i would be annoyed you werent rung and told it was going around and that a few of the bubs that had it were not picked up..
pregpan - your recipes always sound so nice!! lucky N!!
mm - ohhh thats so georgeous she stands at the cot saying mum mum mum!! asha just cries lol..
well hi to everyone i missed i am off to clean up the vegemite mess!!
Clare - the info we got from childcare was that if they have HFM they should be excluded until all the blisters have dried. Googling it, they show first signs (fever about 3 days after being exposed and then the blisters appear 2 days later. There is no specific treatment, lots of drinks and panadol for the fever.
Noni - did you get everything cleaned yesterday? I should be doing the bathrooms now, but I'm on here instead! Will save the floors until the weekend and DH can go for a walk with DD so I can just power through them with no distractions.
Pregpan - have added your croquettes to my recipe list! Will give them a shot soon. I find it very hard to restrain myself from eating anything I cook for her too - I wasn't too disappointed when the salmon balls were thrown over the edge yesterday as it meant I could finish them off.
Gracie - has the bleeding finished? Would be very scary, my sister had lots of bleeding with hers and ended up with 3 ultrasounds in the first trimester, but it all turned out OK.
Thanks girls for your kind words (that have helped calm me down!).
Noni: i think you're right. I guess i just wish that i had of been told. i understand confidentiality and all that, but i dont care which bubba, i just want to know if it's isolated incident or if its going through them all.
I also know that it can be tricky for parents to get their bubs straightaway, i was just freaking out and being irrational!
G: That must have been pretty scary for you. I would call the OB too for peace of mind.
yeah i will contact the rspca and let them know.
Cally: yeah, i also googled it and it seems to be alot like chickenpox in its manifestation. unfortunately the bubs yesterday were getting new blisters...
feeling much better today- the bleeding was only the slightest amount, more like spotting i guess. since then there has been nothing, so i think it was just an isolated incident. very scarey though. i feel fine today though, thanks everyone.
clare- how is L? any signs of blisters or anything/
sherie- hope P is ok
leanne- how is DH doing today? my DP is going to get it done next year.
noni- i was the very last of all last time!!!! everyone was having their babies and there was only me, ella and queenie still sitting here waiting. it was hell!!! are you guys ttc now?
cally- glad to hear your sis's bubs ended up ok in the end
where has jaz been lately?????
i went a bit stupid this week buying things on line. i bought one of those amby hammocks for the new baby and heaps of clothes for lewis from cradlerock. they have the best stuff there. i have become obsessed with the brand 'oobi'. do any of you guys have any of their stuff? their girl stuff is sooo beautiful- send me some pink vibes girls
