Dinner: what we eat.
she also drinks water throughout the day. she has her sippy cup on the floor ready for when she wants it. we have to start giving her cups of milk but i keep forgetting...bad mummy...
Rainy: wow! 20 weeks! yeah you're right i remember with L it seemed AGES to get to that point!
Sherie: you and me sista! my girls eats us under the table and still only weighs 8kgs!
-
god i hate my mil!!!!
sorry to vent but they are coming down to stay with us this wknd.
originally they said they were going to be here at 4pm yesterday, then they changed it to 'lunchtime' today......so here i am, sitting here all ready for them.....and they send a msg saying they are leaving rutherglen now- which is 4 hours away!!! they are just so rude, always f88ing me around!!!!!
i'm so angry right now. i find people who are so casually willing to let you wait around for them so arrogant gggggrrrrrrr.
i feel like going out for the afternoon and coming back at 6pm
-
G, I can sense the tension in you hun :hug: If I were you, I would put on a slap up meal, something very simple and tell them you didn't want to commit to anything better because of all the mucking around with their arrival time and you didn't know if they would be there in time for dinner. And in your nicest possible DIL voice too ;) There is nothing I hate more than people who tell you they will be there and a certain time and then jerk you around.
LOL Clare, they really must be meant for each other ;)
We have another molar coming through! On the top left hand side this time. He's not overly fussed by these ones really *touches wood*.
Re the egg, Alister hasn't had egg on it's own yet. He's obviously had it in bread and biccies etc, and no obvious reaction, but I'm not game to give it to him yet, same with peanut butter because of his eczema. My concern with the MMR wasn't the egg or possible autism links etc, but it just didn't sit right with me to do it as well as our life circumstances providing us with a relatively lower risk of getting it (small, localised population). Plus I didn't complete Paige's MMR either that she was meant to get at 4yo. So it's horses for courses really. I'm not offended by people who vax just like I hope I don't offend people by not vaxing :)
-
thanks sherie- i'm eating a whole box of cheezels now which is seeming to calm me down a little. it's just so typical of them, they do this sort of stuff to us all the time.
my family is so different, maybe it's just the way i've been brought up, but i can't stand the thought of people waiting around for me.
i've bought stuff for us to have a bbq for dinner, no doubt she'll complain about that!!
i can't believe A is not bothered by a molar. lewis is so upset atm, i figure he must be getting them. do they usually get the top or bottom first??
not offended at all by you not vax. the autism thing really scares me actually.
did anyone hear that police have actually confirmed that they body found in croatia is, in fact, the missing backpackers. i fee so sad for her parents
-
Good for you G! LOL nothing like comfort food to ease your troubles. Well if she complains about that I would be telling her to shove off. They are supposed to get the top ones first I *think* - no sign of Alisters bottom ones anyway. I know it's all cool re the vaxes :)
With that girl though, I heard on the radio yesterday that her Mum was concerned that they would declare the body hers even if it wasn't just so they could close the case so now that they have made that announcement it makes me wonder if that's what they did? I would hate to think that they could do that and get away with it though.
-
Raino, AAAAH for you hun. I can see it would be quadrupley irritating simpling because of the IL factor ;). Glad the cheezels are working! Soooo sad if it's Britt's body, I can't see how they would say they didn't think it was her when they first found it, how unfreaking cruel is that?!
Wow at molars coming thru with no fuss! E is working on some top teeth (next to middle front) and she's been a bit unsettled but nothing like she was with the middle front ones. The hole in her lip that she split spectacularly open yesterday is something else - it's all swollen and sore and blergh looking. She did it right in front of me and I got a reeeeeallly good look at how deep it was in the second before it started to bleed (and bleed and bleed!) and I was beside myself at the thought of her needing stitches. I got the impression at the drs if it'd been any deeper it would've been stitches for sure (and the word hospital got bandied around too) but luckily not. Anyway it meant she didn't go to care yesterday so I'm another 6 hours behind on my job app and my stress levels were thru the roof yesterday so I was like a zombie woman last night. I'm just so over being alone now, I told DH yesterday was one of those days where i *really* needed him to come walking thru the door at 4.30. My hormones are all over the shop too and I've turned into a fat acne woman with a three week cycle. BLERGH.
I have a little piggie on my hands too, it's 2 weekbix or equivalent in porridge plus fruit, yoghurt, toast in our house. But I'm only feeding her 2-4 times a day (usually 3) so I guess it all evens out. Really must get the poor little piggy weighed again, still paranoid cos she's gone back onto the one-boob regime again.
ETA -Trill- the family will be able to repatriate the remains and if there's any doubt I'm sure the AFP will do the appropriate forensic testing. Like the time they sent the wrong dead person instead of Jake Kovco's body.
-
hi there girls!
G: go the cheezels. i have this awesome image of you sitting on your couch chomping them on down LOL! wish i had some...mmmmm
MD: oh no! on all fronts! i musta missed the freakish lip busting episode! OMG! poor thing. no doubt it will heal quickly though :pray:
and 3 week cycles are the pits! my last one has been 3 weeks too. it feels like it never ends. this has been after having 5 week cycles since AF arrived back so feeling bummed. when does your man come home? cant be long now!! :pray:
wish i was there so we could hang out...
oh and BTW to the canberra girls i will be up in early Dec (around the 10th) as DH has to give a paper and i am soo gonna tag along for the ride... so we should meet again!!
-
marydean - oh no her lip sounds so sore, the poor little dear - hope it heals quickly.
rainforest - I had a MIL like that once !! I so do not miss her. Big Hugs and hope you got thru the weekend OK.
Sherie - I agree horses for courses totally. Im not set either way but if you don't mind me asking, does it cause any dramas when enrolling in school etc. Do you need to provide proof of vacc then ?? Just curious.
Cassius - Hamish likes to drink his milk from a cup ONLY if it has a straw in it :rolleyes: He uses cups properly when there's nothing in them but refuses them when full of liquid - go figure.
How many daysleeps are your little ones having ? H wakes about 7am then goes down btw 9 - 9:30am , then down again about 1pm. Both sleeps are btw 1 - 2 hrs in duration. He still can't wait to get to bed at night and usually is dead to the world by 6:30pm.
He's like his father, likes his food and sleep my boy. :lol::lol:
The wedding was gorgeous yesterday if not with a bit of bad luck. It rained so was moved inside (beach wedding had been planned) then the poor groom was taken away in an ambulance just after the entree. The poor bugger was attacked by 8 thugs the night before and suffered concussion and other head type injuries. He was only released from hospital at 11am on the day of the wedding. You could tell he was struggling thru the ceremony. He did well to last as long as he did. He couldn't stop vomitting and was very pale. We are waiting to hear how he got on last night. So it was a relative early night for us as no-one really wanted to celebrate / party without the bride and groom.
Hello to all I missed in personals and big bellies rub to my fellow M2B's :bellyrubs:
-
JG: OMG! the poor bride and groom! i think that's grounds for a new wedding! i think i would do it again after such an intense experience!!
It seems our two are also similar in sleep. i used to fret that L was going to bed so early (6.30pm), but for the life of me i cant keep her up (or if i do she goes psycho...).
leila likes straws so maybe i can get her one of those for the milk. she's not great on drinking out of cups...tries but no cigar.
-
OH No Cindy! That's terrible for them. I hope they can recreate the day later (though I know it wont be the same :( ). I don't mind you asking at all :) I had to show their blue books when I enrolled them at preschool, but didn't for school. I got a Conscientious objection letter for Alister though and have sent it off to the immunisation register, so I should have no problems with it. If there is an outbreak of anything though, he will have to be 'excluded' :rolleyes: for the duration, but I think it's a bit silly when there are older kids at school who didn't have all the vaxes they have now (Like chicken pox - I had to pay for my older three to have it cause it wasn't on the schedule, so any child older than 4 didn't have to have it), but aren't excluded kwim? So I've always thought that rule a bit silly TBH. Alister has 1 day sleep most of the time, but sometimes he will have two if he needs it kwim? So maybe once a week he might have 2. They are usually always good 2hr sleeps though so I guess he only needs one when it's that long.
Clare, I feel for you on the 3wk cycles. Mine are still 5wks but they aren't right kwim? I can't predict what AF is going to be like from one cycle to the next ATM.
Marydean, how's E's lip looking today? Lips are always the worst when it comes to that cause the flesh is so delicate there. The trick is getting it to heal enough so the next tumble does't bust it open again. Oh and am I right in thinking it's only TWO MORE WEEKS now? I had it mentally worked out in my head the other day LOL

Hi Girls
Took Sarah to the doctor yesterday for him to tell me that S has an ear infection as well as the cough virus thingy that DH gave to us. I had to ask the dr if a certain medication that I needed to get would go through my milk and he looked at me and asked how old S was. I told him and he started telling me that breastfeeding in babies over 12 months is for comfort only and there is no nutrition or benefit for her. He actually hinted that it would interfere with her growth as she won't eat as much of the 'proper' foods. I just calmly looked at him and said that I am aware of my options and feel that this is the better way to go for us. He tried to go on a bit more but I just firmly interrupted him and said 'so does (medication) interfere with feeding or what?' I think he nows gets it that I am educated on my choices and have made up my mind. Was pretty funny though. He most likely gets a lot of first time mums that just bow to whatever they are told. :rolleyes: I've got to go back for another follow up appointment for myself so will see if he behaves then. ;)
Oh, and I gave Sarah some egg the other day (big hunks from fried rice) and she loved them and seemed to have no reaction so will wait until she is feeling better from her ear infection before getting vaccinated.
Rainy - I hear you on the PIL front. My in laws always did this to us. It would sh*t me right off, you would arrange dinner or whatever only for them to be late or walk in with dinner for themselves. Once they rang and said that they would be late and I reminded them that DH and I had plans out. They said no worries, just leave the backdoor unlocked! WTF!!! Hell no. Not on your nelly would I leave doors unlocked for them. Considering that they are never on time, it could stay unlocked until we got home 4-5 hours later. I (well DH ;)) told them to go have dinner or visit someone else and we'd call them when we were heading home. I hate not having a set time frame for visits. I think it is so rude to just expect people to hang around waiting all day for someone to turn up. MAKE A TIME AND STICK TO IT!!! If it looks like you won't be there by that time due to unforseen circumstances then call or sms and let us know!!! Its not hard these days to contact people. Argh! So :hug: Rainy I know where you are coming from
MD - Oh poor E, with her little cut lip looking all trout pout. :lol:;) S has had quite a few and my god they bleed!!! Poor little munchkin....hope she is feeling okay. And poor you on the hormones front. Mine have been raging for the last week or so and DH has copped it all. Most of it he deserved but maybe just not as harshly. :doh: So I'm adding mood swings to the pregant/not pregnant list in the not pregnant column.
Didn't get a blood test yesterday but will next week if still no AF.
I went to DH school reunion last night and was left looking like a nigel no friends in the corner while he went off and chatted about old times. One of his mates and his partner were supposed to turn up so that the girlfriend and I could have talked. But nope, no show, no explanation. Pfft! Good night still, got some more funny DH stories.
S is awake so BBL
-
Hi everyone, hope you're all enjoying your weekend. :)
Kate - have to say, I'm lovin' the new Av!!One hot mumma!! Good on you for standing up to that doctor. The nerve of him!!! Poor little S with her sore ear - i hope it clears quickly for her.
bbl - have to read the girls a story before bed.
-
I thought the gods were smiling on me tonight - took off K's dirty nappy in her room and told her to go through to the ensuite for a shower. Got down there and the wee trail started 2 cm inside the tiled area. Still a mess to clean up, but a heck of a lot easier than on the carpet.
Then the gods stopped smiling - DH got home from cricket with a very suspected broken thumb - on his right hand! He's headed off to the hospital now to have it looked at, but he is going to be useless for a while. At least he can entertain K while I do the jobs. And at least he won't be at cricket for the next little while (so maybe the gods were still smiling at me)!!
Kate - silly doctor, doesn't he listen to the WHO? Glad you stuck up for yourself, hope S feels better soon.
JG - oh no, what a terrible thing to happen the day before your wedding!! Hope they find who did it, must have put such a dampener on the night.
We have a little piggie here too. Last night she had a big dish of casserole and then scoffed a whole banana! Unfortunately what goes in, must come out and we are typically having 3 or 4 poos a day!
Well better go and make sure all the bags are packed and lunches are ready for the big day tomorrow. DH and I will probably be much more upset than she will.
-
gotta be quick girls but just wanted to pop on and wish Cally good luck for tomorrow - you know Katie will be fine - I hope you and DH are as well!
-
Good luck tomorrow Cally and fingers crossed for DH. Or should that be thumb crossed :lol:
Just wanted to say that I've FINALLY posted the pic of my tattoo in the gallery if anyone wants a squizz. It's also on FB...
Have a good night girls
-
Cally - Good luck for tomorrow. :hug: Bummer about the broken thumb - but great that you can find a positive side to it ;)
JG - What a terrible thing to have happened on any given day, but to spoil their wedding day - how upsetting for them, and their families.
Hannah has 2 sleeps during the day as well, pretty much the same timing as H.
Rainy - I hope your weekend hasn't been spoilt too much by the 'outlaws'.
Md - i hear you on the acne. :( I think i need to go back on my Estelle pill, as it helps with my breakouts. I got my first visit from AF last month and she must have felt so welcome that she thought she'd pop in again not too long after that. :rolleyes:
Hannah is now climbing chairs and stools. Today i turned my back for a moment and then i found her on top of the kitchen bench!!! I tell you, my hair is going greyer every day!!!
-
Jazmum- Climbing on the kitchen bench?? OMG, i bet you have a few more grey hairs!
Cally- Good luck today!
Kate- *wolf whistle* Noice av. How is Sarah? Is her ear infection better?
MD- Ouch on the lip cut. Gee they bleed alot don't they?
Joels Girl- What a terrible thing to happen to the groom. Bl00dy thugs. Would have really put a dampener on things. I'll take that belly rub thanks! ;)
Rainy- Did you survive luv? How did the weekend go? Have the outlaws gone? Hope you are resting up on the couch just like me today!
Had some 'friends' invite themselves over, which is usually fine, but they came Friday, left Sunday and hardly lifted a finger while i ran around after them. *rollseyes* My friends partner is one of those negative people who suck the joy out of everything, nothing is good enough, always whinging, you know the type? People like that drive me nuts. i need to learn to say no. I am exhausted today.
Hope you all had a better weekend than me! lol
-
hey everyone :)
eeek i am sooo tired ashas taken to getting up at 5am :( (which i might add is really 4am stupid daylight savings i never adjust well to it!!) i mean that means shes sleeping longer in her cot because usually she gets up between 1 and 3 to come to bed with us problem is when i bring her in shes really restless and wants to get up not to go back to sleep :(
starting to think alot more about ttc lately.. idk tho i still feel a real fear about being pregnant and going throuh labour again i mean even tho i had a pretty good birth etc i just feel a little traumatised by the whole thing lol.. that and my parents were always trying to have a second child and it never worked out for them so i have that in the back of my mind too.. more reason to do iut younger tho i think.... eeep lol i really want another baby but when it comes down to it i just cant bite the bullet so to speak haha idk what it is lol but theres something stopping me...
falguni - yeah i hate those kinda people!!! dp had his friend over all weekend too and while hes not negative they didnt do much cleaning either ofc grr so now my house is a pigsty when it was pretty clean before he came over and they sat on their buts drinking and playing playstation!!
jazmum - oh wow climbing chairs asha can climb the stairs out the front and back now but luckily not chairs yet!!
kate - i agree hot av youve got there! well done for putting that dr in his place!! i think ur right about some mums just going along with everything they say! i mean has he heard of the WHO? because they recomend breastfeeding till 2 dont they? lol
cally - yay for the wee not going on the carpet.. hope dps thumb is feeling better, or not lol whatever suits you best!
sherie - do you find lots of people give u crap about the immunisations? i think its cool ur making an informed decision not too but i know lots of people that wouldnt see it that way and would try and convince you otherwise.. how do you deal with that? if you have to that is...
cindy - ohh thats awful that poor bride and groom!! lol at hamish only drinking if theres a straw in the cup.. asha drinks with a straw cup too im not game to give her one without the lid on it tho i know shed just tip it everywhere!! ive only just started giving her bowls instead of just putting the food onthe highchair because she is so likely to just tip it all out and put the bowl on her head lol shes getting better at it tho because shes a bit more interested in actually eating the food lol..
md - is dh coming home soon? he better bring some good presents along with him to cheer u up!!!
wow at what all ur kiddies are eating i thought asha ate alot but i gues she dosnt really lol some days more than others i spose..
anyways i best be off because asha stinks lol hi to anyone i missed!! not promising to keep up anymore coz i never do anymore lol and then i feel bad for saying it..
hope everyones having a lovely day!!
