Hayley: RE: Blackouts; depends on wat time it is. I h8 it around dinner time. We had one in the afternoon last week & it was okay. Just played with the boys fav toys & then got out scrapbooks & crayons (though Jack didn't get tthe concept that the crayons go back in the box & not down mummies top). If they are at night, after the boys are down, thats no worries, & I have a good torch. The hardest thing is when Alex is in the middle of a tv show & the tv goes off.
Hope M is okay.
Rainy: I understand how you are feeling. My ex was pretty much the same. Am happy for you that you put your foot down. Unfort he went back to sleep, the upside I can see, L was sleeping to.
Glad enjoyed the dayspa though.
Trill: I keep in contact with both of them, usually through f/b though. The one with the newborn, we've only just started talking again (in the last 6mths) & the seperation has brought us closer.
Hope you have fun on you shopping trip & your cake sounds yummy.
Cally: K is so cute.
Leemar: Am happy that you were able to say something.
Katie: Logan sounds adorable.
us: Can't believe I had away again in a week's time. Didn't realise it was so close. Heading to Ballina to stay with my mum for the night, then to QLD where I spend two nites with one friend, two nites with another, two nites with K8 & Benny (Jacks guardians) & then a night with another friend on the way home.
Baby was a boy & name is Tyson Joseph Gavin ..
Watching a rerun of Third Watch (Austar) & then going to do some house.
Cally Yay for K L puts himself to sleep too now. It was only of a night time until this morning he was laying on the lounge with DP and off to sleep he went!
Rain the dayspa sounds like a good idea! Glad you had a good time.
Andie hope you and the boys have a good time away. It will be nice for you to have your mum and friends around
Trill that cake sounds yum might have tobake one! Where'd you get the recipe?
Thanks for all the dinner suggestions! Last night we had a Tikka Misala curry so I gave L some rice with the juice of the curry and he absolutely loved it! DP was sure he wouldnt eat the rice but what do they know!
I fell asleep watching tv last night and DP put L to sleep and tucked him in his bed. I felt bad but its the first time since L was born that its happened.. I better go hang this washing out while L is napping.
Nella - nothing wrong with a little couch sleeping every now. DH always puts K to bed these days. Glad L liked the curry.
Noni - that lip things sounds interesting, let us know how it goes.
Ange - lol at your grocery shopping all day!! I have heaps more energy now I am back at work and if we have a bad night I seem to cope fine if I am working as opposed to when I am home. I think because I am distracted at work by having to do things, I can't think about how little sleep I had whereas at home it's very easy to. Definitely having to work is not an excuse to get out of looking after bubs.
K had a shocking night last night. DH had to get up about 5 times, including once for 1.5 hours! She just kept coughing and crying. Got her into the doctor's this afternoon, but not sure what they can do. Her body felt warm this morning, but she didn't have a temp. My turn tonight to look after her.
hi girls! sorry that i have been MIA lately. let's just say that despite some lovely moments, it has the been the week from hell and DH, Leila and I are feeling it. want to pack my bags and go to fiji and sit on a beach sipping banana daquiris. who doesnt?????
Leila had her jabs last monday, got sick that night, no biggie thought it was just temps from the jabs. second day thought it was the same....so basically for the last 7 nights in a row i have had less than 2 hours sleep (broken) a night. she half-wakes up screaming inconsolably, and has the runs BIG TIME. i am over it (as is she!). took her to the doctor. not much they can do, is a nasal passage infection almost finished, antibiotics wont do much. pretty bummed. oh, and she has to be on a liquid diet for the next 48 hours!! so from almost weaning i am now having to do the long hard yards of BF all day and night for a 15 month old. she is refusing all water, so it is cows milk in bottles or BF.
sorry for the me vent, just am crumbling ever so slightly. oh for an hour of sleep!
Claire hope Leila is feeling better soon so you can all get some rest!
Leeanne glad you're better. Christmas is only 24 days away. Yikes! I don't even know what we're doing this year. DP is working again this year so might go to mums again.
I understand how you are feeling. My ex was pretty much the same. Am happy for you that you put your foot down. Unfort he went back to sleep, the upside I can see, L was sleeping to.
L puts himself to sleep too now. It was only of a night time until this morning he was laying on the lounge with DP and off to sleep he went!
