MM, that is really annoying about the rude people in the shop. Obviously if your kid is being feral you aren't having the best day - they could restrain from making it worse by adding snarky comments. Your SIL gives me the *****s.
Rainy, you were asking a while ago about day sleeps? W just has one during the day now. Usually it is around 11am, but for the past couple of days he has been grotty enough to go back to bed at 9.30. That means that he is really tired by night time. I have a 2pm cut off for naps, so if he needs a second nap before then he can have it, otherwise he has to wait until bedtime. Usually he gets a second wind when DH gets home at 5.30pm, then we quickly do dinner and I try to get him in bed by 7(earlier if he is cracking). With two naps he was staying up until 8.30-9.30 and DH and I weren't getting any time together. How is Lewis sleeping at night? I promised you that he would be sleeping through before bub came, hope I wasn't a big fat liar (although I also promised you a girl lol)
PAP, are you still looking for somewhere to go for a pre-baby holiday? It is so freaking hot here, it feels like Brisbane. I am desperate for air-con! We are having a record hot summer.
Trill, OMG at how expensive school shopping is!

OMG, wish I had your cleaning motivation!!
Alex had a hard time with me not being able to pick him up whilst heavily preg. In the hosp, he knew who Jack was, standing on the side of the cot saying "jack". He was really good with it all actually, wasn't too put out either. Just made sure I still did things with him & made sure he knew I sitll loved him.
I feel for all of you with feral toddlers ATM - I've BTDT before ROFL. Alisters not too bad ATM in terms of feral-ness, but he sure does make it hard to get anything done and keep it done kwim? He is a gold medal winning un-cleaner and DH even had the hide to say something to me the other day about the state of the house and I bit my tounge and said nothing until the following day when it was too hot to be outside working and so DH was inside doing bookwork and he took a break and had a cuppa in the loungeroom and in the space of a half hour, Alister had carted so much stuff into the loungeroom out of the kitchen crawers and cupboards and done a heap of other stuff to make the place look untidy and DH started complaining and I finally said to DH, "and you wonder why the place never looks tidy when you come home? You're the one who refuses to put child locks on the drawers and cupboards because you can't get into them yourself, but you've got the hide to b1tch about the state of the house?" He didn't say a word ROFL. Mind you the house isn't that untidy, it's just all the stuff that lays around on the floor - the rest of the house is fine, but he grew up with a mother who did nothing BUT clean and as soon as they put something down when they were kids she had put it away again. I've often told him he can always move back there
Geeeee Trill, DH wouldn't want to say anything like that to me ATM! You were very well restrained, i'm impressed............ My DH might have just been sleeping in the dog kennels.
OMG girls, I did something really stupid!! Last night I was cutting DH's hair with the clippers. He usually has a #4 cut but I didn't check to see if the #4 length comb was attached and started clipping - now he has a completely bald stip about 4cm wide and 10cm long up the back of his head!!! I felt so bad about it and yet couldn't stop laughing
Ange, cute ticker pic. Does L understand that you are having a bubba?
Trill, W sounds similar to A, not particularly feral but a massive anti-help. DH assumes that I do nothing all day because he spends 10 minutes picking up stuff when he gets home. It is getting really old.
Had another feral toddler day. Just met up with a couple of mums & bubs from mums group for a coffee & a shop browse. Their two littlies (same age as M) just sat perfectly in the pram, M didnt at all, chucked major tanties and did the whole go stiff thing when I tired to put her in the stroller. I must admit I have having a chuckle to myself now as I type this, but at the time omg my face was like a beetroot & I wanted to disown her LMAO!
Rainy - I am with you, its almost to the point where I've decided to be house bound too. I almost cancelled my catch up with the girls today because I could predict the behaviour that she would show. Cant imagine what it must be like for you juggling a belly as well you poor thing!
I guess one day we will think back & laugh at the tough toddler days that often arise!!!
Trill - Our house is the same. I guess now your DH can see what you mean, after he had a day at home yesterday. Mine is the same with the cupboard locks as they will ruin the kitchen apparently. Now I just leave the house as a bomb until M is in bed for the night.
Arte - LOL thats hillarious, bet he wasnt too pleased with you!?
Falguni - The new ticker pic melts my heart!
Guess what I found a perfect little Oobi dress at the shops, yes here in Perth, with 20% off it, yet DP made me feel bad & said not to buy it. So I didnt and I'm sad! He is right though, I guess its not a necessity & she does have way too many clothes already....but still I am thinking of the Oobi dress waiting for me at the shops hehe
