Pregpan - don't fret - pregnancy just makes you feel more vulnerable to stuff than usual. xxx That little girl's family will do what every family does, take each day one step at a time, and love and cherish their little girl and all the blessings she brings, as bittersweet as they may be. Your N is just a gorgeous gorgeous boy, isn't he?
MD: love the idea. kinda like a scene outta deadwood...although to be proper authentic it would need to be whisky as my poison. i'm deadly serious LOL!
PP: yep, as MD said that is protective pregnant mumma hormones going on there! bubs is fine...you just had a peep and i am guessing the little heart and all his/HER anatomy is doing its job awesomely!!
AFM: well feel woozy and nauseated. can't handle another minute of tonsilitis. guess i will have to though.
leila has now said her second sentence!!! today she dropped something on the floor and went: 'uh oh, wots dat?'...ha ha ha my dear child as if you didnt know...cheeky monkey.
PAP, that is terrible about your FDC's niece. We are a lucky bunch of mummies to have such healthy bubs.
Clare, wish there was some sort of magic cure for you tonsils. I have started reading Twilight on your good reviews, it better be a keeper! L sounds like such a fun girl.
Rainy, happy EDD to you. How exciting. I saw a new baby the other day and I can't for the life of me remember what to do with them lol
MM, any response from MIL? From my experience it seems like grandparents are a bit out of practice when it comes to having kids around. My ILs didn't think it was a problem to leave their back door open - it goes onto a small landing then down a full flight of stairs, on to a driveway and then straight out onto the road below the crest of a hill. DH kept asking them to keep it shut but they didn't think it was anything to worry about I am sure if they had small kids they wouldn't have been leaving it open (or let their snappy dog inside, but that is another rant lol)
Oz, did you do anything for your anniversary? We went to the city yesterday and bought a heap of home reno stuff. How romantic. We did get a marriage saver (=dishwasher), so I am happy with that.
Can't remember anything in the other thread.
Oh, Agnes - welcome back, good to see you. Good to hear all is going well. Did you get everything sorted after your car accident?
So W slept through last night! He had two whole bottles while going to sleep, wriggled a few times during the night but didn't wake until 6am. I am finding that the sleep is only improving with weaning. I so wanted him to self wean but it wasn't happening. I cut out night feeds which helped a lot, but he was still convinced he should have his morning feed at 4am so I have cut that one out too. He wasn't very happy about it yesterday but seemed to accept it alright this morning. It is hard though, the other night he woke up and really wanted a feed and cried for 1.5 hours. I felt sooo bad but knew if I gave in he would expect it again next time. I really didn't want to use any cry techniques.
I am probably insane, but is it possible for kids this age to count? If I give W two of something or he sees two things together he says 'two bees/flies/crackers' etc. I thought it was just random to begin with but he does it quite often and only when there are actually two things.
Arte - N does that too (with the counting - 1 and 2 and very occasionally 3) - he will also get me 1 of something if i ask or 2 of something... clever boys!!
LOL at the marriage saver!!
Hi everyone! I feel like I've been away for ages ROFL.
Arte, Alister will 'count' too sometimes, he'll have this sing-song 'juan two' (cause he says one like you pronounce juan ROFL - I have no idea how that came about) happening when he's picking up stuff. I don't think he realises he's counting though cause I would say 'one, two, three go!' when we were at the pool and he'd jump in so he's just mimicing that. I hope the night waking continues to improve for you though.
PP, that's just awful for them to deal with. It's such an uncertain thing with too many if's. N is such a delightful little boy I'm not surprised she draws comfort from him.
Noni! I was wondering how all the planning was going. It seems like you have a million things to do between now and then, but it will all come together as it's meant to. It's very exciting though!
Hey SupaB!! Great to see you hun. How is T going? Sounds like you're right back into the swing of TAFE again.
Gosh, I can't remember where I'm up to now ROFL...
G, I thought of you this morning and was secretly hoping that I'd log on today to see a BA from you. I'm sure he wont be in there much longer
MD, that would be a big thing to just push to the back of your mind re the FDC lady. I'm sure the Perfect Job is out there for you too. So how are you feeling post-op-wise? Do you have any more Dr's appts about it as a follow up?
Clare, that's just too cute! I can just picture her saying it too LOL.
Ange, yes, twas me who did your av. Glad you love it
AFM, busy busy busy as usual. I had to go and get my hand xrayed today cause I hurt it last week (no drama's, just clumsy ROFL) and it didn't seem to be improving, but it's not terribly sore kwim? so I just wanted to be sure as hand bones are such fickle things when it comes to breaks and can cause trouble if they don't heal right etc. So no break, but he's sending it away to be read again JIC cause he could see a shadow on it but couldn't confirm exactly what it was. I got home just in time to get the older two off the school bus cause the Dr was running late and my whole day just went to sh ite.
LOL Sherie, W says one, two as Un, Deux which always makes me giggle. Did you do my av? I really like it!
PAP, they are smart little things, W will stand there and demand 'deux dog biccies' (he wants one for the dog and hopes I will not notice if he scoffs the second one) lol
After the great night of sleep, W didn't need an day nap today but it must have caught up with him because he fell asleep in the highchair at dinner time and was in bed by six lol
A round of applause for our Amazing Counting Boys! LOL
Trill, thanks for asking, I'm seeing the surgeon again tomorrow. I was a bit worried last week so I went to the GP and she cleaned and checked the incisions. 3 out of 4 hadn't closed over hence why they were still store. One in particular is giving me grief, it's pretty untidy stitching - if it was a patch in one of my quilt's I would've unpicked it and done it again (ends don't meet properly :rollyeyes. Lucky skin is stretchy so I don't think it will matter in the end, just a little more of my youth's body-beautiful fading in front of my eyes. Ouchy ouch on your hand. What a bummer, you really notice when your hands are sore.
Arte, congrats on your anniversary! Well done for scoring the marriage saver! Better than a piece of jewellery any day IMO.
