MD will pm you, my cousin in canberra is looking for some babysitting work evenings and some days - she is around at uni for the next few months...maybe that would give you a few hours free in the school hols.
cally - how confusing re the mchn - i havent been since he was 4 months as it always made me feel confused or bad.... i am sure if i went now they would be up in arms that he isnt moving much - so i am not going LOL!!! N never grasped use of sippy cup but uses straw cup now (only since bali). seriously, do you know any adults who cant drink from a cup - they will all get there...
-
Ello all,
Thanks heaps:clap:
Chessa's walking now!! It all happens too quickly, it's so amazing! We got to catch up with alot of family today, it was good I guess....considering the circumstances...
Anyone else have bad family history?
We had my DP pop's funeral today...sad.
Oh, I have good news:) well...for us lol...sry, have to boast...Facebook is good for something!! I managed to find DP's long lost lil sister!! creepy...still looking for his other sister now...anyone happen to know an Sarah Saebar, lives in Bris...works at a vet apparently.
I hope everyone is well!!! catch up with u all later.

Happy Birthday Alister
I will try to get on and post later, was sick the other day now W seems to have it. Was up half the night cleaning puke (downside to co-sleeping - when they spew at night it is in your bed and all over you!)
ETA: Happy birthday also to Liddle Pixie's Scarlett
MD, I really wish there was something I could do to help you. IKWYM about me time, I made W have a nap yesterday arvo when he could have done without,but I really needed a break. The house was a mess and I can't get anything done with my little shadow 'helping'
Cinta, sorry about your DP's grandpop. Congrats on the walking, it does happen so quickly doesn't it.
Cally, that is odd that the MCN didn't tell you what the teeth problem was. Sounds like she made too much of a deal about sippy cups too, like PP said I haven't heard of an adult who can't drink from a cup.
Rainy and Ange, yay for your meet-up.
Ange, are you thinking boy or girl? Are you finding out? I am going to say pink for you too.
Well, William is smart and cute but the boy has NO rhythm! We have been trying to teach him to dance (read DH and I looking like idiots lol), the best he can muster is to flap his arms wildly or thrust his pelvis forward lol He even sabotaged music class yesterday, the lady had dropped the cd player and it wouldn't skip songs and then W pulled the plug out half way through so we had to listen to all the same songs again. I have seen little bubs bopping to the beat but he doesn't seem that interested in music or dancing.

Happy birthday Alister!
Arte- I'm keeping the surprise until the end! Not that pushing a baby out your vag1na isn't a big enough surprise!! but i know i'd tell everyone and then there is no surprise for them at the end! ;) And i'm really not fussed either way. A sister for Lu would be cool, and a boy would be great too.
MD- how much longer till DH returns? I feel for you, especially with the school holidays coming up. A holiday program like someone else suggested is a great idea, and good ones around?
Cinta- DH's fam history is so bad i would never go into it. But i have come to realise that no-one has a perfect family, there is always some sort of drama. And mine is not without issues either. WOW about finding a long lost sister. Didn't need that show on TV at the moment or anything! Speaking of Family, have to pick MIL from airport again today. Not sure i have the energy, but will soldier on. ;)

Happy birthday Alister! :happybirthday: Hope you have a wonderful day with Mummy and Daddy and the big kids :hug: Gorgeous boy!!
Also thinking about Scarlett and Liddle Pixie today too. Wish we knew how LP is getting on. :(
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEEKY ALISTER!!! I hope you have a wonderful day and love your tractor!!!
I also wonder how LP and Scarlett are getting along - come on LP log on and tell us how you are!! HAPPY BDAY SCARLETT!
MD - how are you today? I looked up school holiday programmes for you in case you are interested for H, there are a couple of horse riding ones from 9-3 or 10-5 each day for a week? I also saw a netball one? and also one called 'creative catalyst' which is different art projects etc and you can choose days that suit according to the programme (that one is in yarralumla).
ETA - just got some sad news that a colleague of DH baby passed away at 5 weeks on Noah's bday - he had spinal muscular atrophy - i am so upset and shaken - those poor parents. we are all very lucky ladies in here.
-
Happy Birthday Alister and Scarlett!! Did you get the Radio Flyer wagon Trill?
Well we had immunisations this morning. She was an angel. Didn't flinch for the first one and only a little grizzle for the next 2. Then all smiles when I cuddled her and gave her the box of sultanas.
That arty programme sounds like something H would like. Hope you find something that will give you a bit of a break.
DH has flown up to Sydney today. We went and waved to the plane, there was lots of pointing and arm flapping when it lifted off, very cute. She probably won't want to go to bed tonight because she won't have had daddy playtime though, at least he will be home about 8 so if it's really bad she can see him then.
Arte - hope A is feeling better today. How are you? Was it just a little tummy bug? As for no rhythm, poor fella at school dances!
Cinta - well done for Chessa walking! And congrats for finding DP's sister.
I'm wondering if the risk factor for teeth is because we don't have fluoride in our water- she did mention that it means we should use adult toothpaste from 18mths. The only other thing is that she has a breastfeed right before bed - could that be bad? Or maybe because I mentioned that I don't always brush her teeth twice a day. Anyway, will ring her tomorrow and try to find out.
How much water are all the bubs drinking? Since cutting out 3 breastfeeds (which she hardly seemed to notice were gone) she's only drinking a little bit extra. In total about 250mL of water each day. We've tried cow's milk a few times, but she's not a fan. She has lots of fruit and will be getting some fluid from that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCE ALISTER!! HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY LITTLE MAN!
Will jump on later to catch up.

HAPPPY BIRTHDAY ALISTER!! KEEP ON SLIDING LITTLE DUDE :p
I gave S some cows milk today as she was cracking it when she saw me drinking some. She loved it...even drank it from a big girl glass (with mummys help ;)). She hasn't had any sort of reaction so far (not really expecting just worrying...again) unless you call extreme clumsiness a reaction :p Poor little tucker has been in the wars today. What cows milk do you guys give bubs and will she still need to have formula if I'm not around for a b/f? I hate expressing...doesn't work for me
Hey Renee...I checked out that site simplycolours and got S a jersey with Sar-Bear 07 on the back and a shirt that says Daddys Little Painter (DH is funnily enough a painter) So cute, can't wait to get them.
Also, bought a cute bookcase from Ezibuy that is in the shape of a dolls house. Reduced down to $99 so bargain. Over a metre tall and is white. Also so cute. That'll be a xmas pressie me thinks. Seeing as she has so many other things for her bday as it is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALISTER!!!!
PP: which MACH nurse did you see? we went to narrabundah and saw Mary. she was really lovely and gentle...
Sorry to hear about your DHs colleague going through such a devastating time. Friends of mine in Ireland lost their baby boy Daniel at 12 weeks to a weak heart, and it was devastating (even though they knew he wouldn't survive, it didnt help with saying goodbye). poor people, and yeah, you're right we are so fortunate to have our little people here with us.
Cally: woot on the good vacc's session!
and too cute waving goodbye to daddy!
Arte: well we have a dancer here! L loves it! she boogies right down doing twists and shaking her head....have to say that she aint a pretty ballerina though! the kinda dancing only a mummy (and daddy!) could love!
Cinta: ahh the joys of facebook! i too have done family searching. my dad abandoned us when i was a few weeks old, and i know that i have brothers that are only a wee bit younger than me, so occasionally i go and check it out to see if there is any familial resemblance! cheeky i know, but curiosity is a powerful thing!
AFM: our BIG news of the day is that Leila has started standing all on her ownsome!! sooo awesome, and she thinks she rocks!
-
hi clare - my MACH nurse was anna, i heard mary was great but i never got her???!!!! i should probably go back some time, even just to get him weighed and make sure all is ok.
woo hoo on leila standing!! that is sooo adorable about the dancing too. N also loves music, he bops along (though no twisting as he does it sitting down) and sings.. in fact he sings thunderstruck by ACDC all the time da da anananananananaaaaaa - took us a while to work out what he was singing. most of the day he is singing soemthig and he has also learned all the actions to twinkle twinkle this week which is pretty special!
-
OMG PP that is soo cute!! man, leila is no way near as coordinated as N! i mean she claps her hands and stuff, but doesnt even try to do the twinkle twinkle stuff! (Oh and have i tried LOL!).
yeah you gotta see mary! she is really lovely and just loves babies! even DH liked her!

Kate - we just give DD the full cream cows milk that DH drinks. You shouldn't need to worry about formula if you skip a breastfeed, just have someone give her a drink and a snack.
Leemar - hope the next fortnight goes quickly for you. Poor thing with the teeth, my wisdom teeth hurt for ages after they were pulled out.
PP - how gorgeous, doing twinkle twinkle actions.
Clare - yay to L standing by herself!
Well DD went to bed so easily last night. Helped that she had been up for 7 hours without a nap! She had a power nap in the car on the way to the doctors and then a proper one when she got home, but refused to have a late afternoon nap. Last time DH was away she really didn't want to go to sleep so last night was good.
DD and I are going to head into town today, do a bit of shopping and get some groceries.
The labels I ordered on Tuesday arrived yesterday - so fast! Mum is going to iron them on to all her clothes next week, should keep her busy.
-
Joel'sGirl- HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO HAMISH... HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT 1ST BIRTHDAY
