Hi girls, I've had a massive day! We went shopping today and it was crazy. For starters it took us 45 minutes to find a freaking parking spot. There are so many crazy road ragers in the carpark!! Anyway Myer were having a sale, so I got M a couple of sprout dresses and also went to Betts Kids and got her a decent pair of shoes, some clarks sandles. I've found the kmart first steps or whatever they are just dont cut it anymore, she slips and slides all over the joint. So I decided it was time for some decent walkers. I feel naughty as I havent spent up at the shops lately lol.
I've rediscovered brauers teething remedy. So I stocked up on it today. It seems to do the trick, better than panadol. The poor thing I cant believe how many are coming through at once, no wonder her nose is like a tap.
Leanne - Yes I've had the same problem with daycare and M, seeing as she is only there 2 days a week. Its so sad isnt it!!! Are you going to say anything? I'm too chicken.
Rainy - Oh my gosh typical male hey?!
Falguni - Oh I would have been mortified too. Its hard to keep the place looking decent when the little one is sick isnt it. Even harded if you arent 100% yourself. Hang on its even hard to keep the place clean now that they are on the loose! I am forever picking up after M.
MD - YOU, a MOTHER, no empathy!!!???? What the hell are they on about? Did that offend you at all, because I would be so upset for someone to say that to me. If it makes a difference, from reading your posts over the past year I dont think you are lacking in empathy at all.
Noni - Hope you have a nice clean house now. It must be great having a 'day off', no doubt your mum loves it too. I think its so good for grandchildren to spend a day with their grandparents, wish mine were around so we could do it too!!
JG - I find the Hylands teething tablets to be good too. Its so good when the natural stuff works better than panadol etc. I cringe at the amount of times I've given M panadol over the past few days, I just dont want her to be in pain.
Arte - I too have given up on good sleep. M hasnt slept through the night for ages now. Luckily she usually isnt up more than once or twice, except when teething. It sucks when you are on a flow then something like teething breaks it.
I must go, M is munching away on strawberries (I wonder if theres such a thing as too many strawberries for bubs because I give them to her all the time, she loves them lol) and apparently DP wants to go to the local show tonight to go on rides, what a kid!
hayley- sounds like a successful shopping day to me. sprout have some really good stuff don't they?
ange- i hate when people turn up at my house unannounced. makes me so mad. i'm surprised you didn't tell her where to go!
arte- well, i basically just stopped offering him the boob, particularly in the middle of the night, but he sort of just stopped it by himself too iykwim? i'll sometimes still bfeed him to sleep for his morning sleep, just cos it's quick and easy, but he doesn't aways want it now and definitely doesn't 'need' it like he used to. nowadays he likes a bit of a spoon, a cuddle or a back rub and he drifts straight off. in the middle of the night he usually just needs a big cuddle, it's much easier.
i think the main thing was that i stopped stressing and obsessing over it, and it just kind of happened by itself iykwim?
long time no write...for me anyway...man i missed so much today! i tried to write more last night but was having trouble with the site. is this just me or is it the BB server?
ange: i reckon what the real estate lady did was pretty illegal. she has no right to trespass. in fact, i am horrified at her behaviour, and if you have the time i would complain to the rental tenancies authority. we once had a nosy landlord and ended up having to change the locks and institute a rule whereby he couldnt come within the fence of the house. pretty dramatic but stopped him from helping himself to our house.
MM: ooh i love sprout too! cute dresses and tops i reckon. i too need to invest in a good pair of shoes. friends bought her gorgeous chook leaf ones, but she is still in 6-9 month size shoes, so the 12 month ones she has dont fit
MD: didnt you tell them how many green square things you have on BB??????????? LOL!
we too have a runner. usually when she has stolen something naughty too.
Rainy: i guess Lu and Leila are two birds of a feather. L goes for the crotch of boys too. usually when they are rudie nudie in the backyard. i just think she finds them hilarious
andie: ooh ticks are scary. we lived in FNQ and they were baaad up there. i recommend a bit of 'revolution' flea treatment as it does the ticks as well.
Leanne: yeah it was the same with L at kindy. she is only 2 days a week and i guess on the days she was in, the camera wasnt LOL! now though there is quite a bit of stuff (ie photos). i would drop some gentle hints (ie. oh arent the photos lovely....where are you Livi?...he he he).
oopps have to cut this short. L is crying. she has been waking alot the last few days. i guess it is the last of the cold, or teeth (i think both)...so have solidarity with the other mummas going through teething ATM. also she has been crying in her sleep alot lately WTF is that?? does anyone elses bubs do this?
Clare - M has been crying in her sleep for the past few days, think its the teeth. Its horrible to hear isnt it!
Rainy - Sprout have some gorgeous things they really do. This bub is a boy isnt it? Bad memory Far out there are some gorgeous boy clothes. I havent been shopping for awhile now, I've been pretty good. We are saving as much as we possibly can at the moment so I felt a bit guilty after todays spend up even though it wasnt a huge amount lol.
I just got a call from my parents in Tasmania, they are freezing cold and want to come home as they are missing maddie "something chronic" awww.
Clare L cries in his sleep too! I love when he giggles in his sleep
MM are they on holidays? How long have they been in Tas for?
Andie hope the ticks keep at bay! Glad they're not the paralysis ones.
How does everyones little ones go at daycare? L is starting in Feb and I'm a little concerned how he's going to settle in... we had a terrible night last night (more teeth here too) as soon as 5am came he refused to go back to sleep..
lewis has changed his wake up time from 8am to 7am now and i don't like it! so now we're watching the wiggles and having a dance
hayley- thats so cute they miss maddie awww. yes new baby is a boy which is great for clothes. i can't afford anymore though cos i went a little crazy for them both at pumpkin patch the other day.
clare- yeah not too sure about the crotch thing lol! well one of the girs got him back yesterday. she came in and tackled him to the ground and sat on his face. after we rescued him, she just wouldn't leave him alone all day. she is completely in love with him! we were trying to explain to her about playing hard to get!
well i'm going to meet up with a pg friend at 9.30 for coffee. i always find it hard to work out a suitable time to meet people to fit in with his sleeps iykwim? do you guys have that issue? she wanted to meet at 10.30 but i said 9.30, but now since he woke up early ii think he'll be a nightmare at 9.30 gggrrr
Rainy, I wish W would stop being so dependent on the BF. I don't see him making any attempt at self weaning any time soon. Great to hear L's sleep has improved though. Bummer about the early wake ups, W used to sleep until 8 but now it is usually 6.30am. Hope he is good for your morning tea.
Ange, there must be someone you can complain to about the estate agent? What a cow pushing past like that. My housing manager is a jerk, he acts like he is doing us a favour letting us live here. Just after we moved in I came home to find the back door wide open and a sparky inside because the housing manager had let him in.
Clare, no crying in his sleep here, but he has started sleep walking. When he wakes up at night and I am not in the bed he gets up and stumbles down the hallway to find me but I think he is still asleep because he is very wobbley and stares vacantly right through me and as soon as I pick him up he is asleep on my shoulder.
Well, today W started saying a new word. We went swimming and I asked him to sit on the change table while I got dressed and he was grizzly and looked at me and said 'NO' lol. He is also trying to jump but can't quite make it so he ends up just stomping his feet on the ground with a huge smile on his face because he thinks he is doing it.
Rainy its hard isn't it! L never sleeps at the same time everyday. Depends on what time he wakes up and what he slept like the night before so its hard to guess times! Hope he wasn't too cranky while you were out!
I'm so cranky with my neighbours! They fought until god knows what time last night! They moved in about 3 months ago and they've fought ever single day since.. She's 7 months preg and they throw things at one another hit each other and carry on ridiculously every other word that comes out of her mouth is F or C (even to the poor puppies they just got!) so anyway a couple of weeks ago I had enough and she was screaming for him to stop hitting her and to leave her alone so after a couple of hours of hearing them go on at one another I called the police to deal with them! They've been quiet since except the past 4 days or so... did that even make sense? Sorry it was all over the place..
Does anyone know where I can get an elf suit for L in a size 0 or 1? I went to the Warehouse today because I saw one in the cataloge but they're for older kids. I really want L's santa photo this year in an elf suit
One last thing then I'll go hehe what do you make your little one for dinner? L ate pasta about a week ago but then 2 nights ago refused to eat it so I'm back to alternating between boring mashed potato and mixed vegies! Any ideas?
Rainy sounds like you DF could use a kick up the bum. He sounds a bit like mine (who could also use a kick up the bum most days). Go and enjoy yourself at the Spa, dont rush home after either. Go and have coffee and cake or something after.
Have had a busy weekend so will be bbl for more girls.
