you're totally right MD! Being able to sit down and have conversations or go out on Mummy and daughter shopping sprees is fantastic. (it just seems easier to get cranky at them when they're older - when they're so tiny it's so hard to be cross)
Had to go down to mums this weekend to look after some of her dogs while she took the others away to a dog show. I had to get DH to drive me down because I am sooo tired. I am exhausted. I thought there was supposed to be a burst of energy in the second tri?
I was glad I went though because my Nana isn't doing very well. She is 96 and was living at home but after a couple of hospital stays she has been sent to a rest home. I went to see her and she isn't very happy there. I am glad she is mostly blind, I don't think she noticed that I was crying the entire visit.
PAP, Yay for N's first steps!!! I don't think walkers could be that much harder than crawlers can they? W only crawled slowly for a couple of weeks before he was up, but I have seen speedy crawlers and I think they could get into as much trouble as a walker anyways. How is your grandfather?
MD, wishing you the very best luck for Thursday, you know we will all be thinking of you and sending out healthy vibes. Well done at the market, sounds like you had a good day.
Rainy, can't wait to hear more about Jimmy's arrival! I am still buzzing about it. Thanks for the attempted sms, we are in a reception hole here - half my messages come days late or not at all. Anyways, after Ange posted that things were heating up I was checking every 5 mins lol
Clare, OMG! I hope you are feeling a bit human today. Glad someone is finally going to do something about it, if they refuse I will get on a plane and be MD's assistant for the DIY tonsilectomy! BTW, Twilight is TEEN SUSPENSE!!! DH has been mocking me since I picked up the next couple of books from the teen display (complete with teeny boppers drooling over movie posters!!).
I am here girls!
MD - wel i dont know where i got monday from, but good luck vibes for thu then! the sale sounds great - what a good idea.
Jazah the girls and mum shopping trips sound fun! good to see you - i have missed you!
MM - you are getting married THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY. when do you leave for honeymoon again?
Arte - sorry you are so tired - how many weeks are you now? i only started to feel better at about 18 wks to be honest, i think it is the added tiredness from the sleep deprivation LOL! Yes N is a very fast crawler!!! i think it will be a couple of weeks til he walks properly but it is cute to watch the stage he is at now!
Clare - how are you feeling today?
Sherie - how is your hand?
Cally - where are you?
I hope Rainy and Ange arent in any fire danger today/tomorrow.
MD: dont worry I'm here too...and you're right mondays are usually the hot tamale days, that and saturdays....
wow! how awesome on the market deals!!! $400!!!!! OHH AAHHH! sooo, whaddya gunna buy???? i hope something deliciously norti and indulgent for yourself!!
Kate: bummer that miss S is still not on her happy horse re the ear and throat infection. hope she feels better soon... sending her loads of solidarity get well vibes! lol!
JaZMum: ppffttt. 37?! so many of the mums in my group are first timers at 40!!! you've got YEARS in ya yet LOL! but true, some of my friends with older kids reckon that there comes a time when you know the baby days are done and your cruising happily through the kid stuff and enjoying sharing more parent to child experiences together ITMS? must say a part of me does look forward to girly shopping sprees with miss L!
Rainy: welcome home babe! and i am sooo joining the queue of ppl wanting to know the details baby!! LOL!....no pressure...LOL!
Arte: oh man, that is tough about your nan. i shared a room at hospy with an older lady who was there for an op from her nursing home. she had loads of visitors which was lovely, but it must be tough on them to spend so much time in beds etc. i hope you managed to get in heaps of cuddles. she would have loved the visit i am sure.
oh btw, you are SOOOO addicted to twilight now!! LOL! when you need to bash the teens out of the way you know...my friend had to hide her tears when the shop assistant told her they ran out and she had to wait a week for the new arrivals!
AFM: well, still here. which i have been told by my GP today should be seen as the reality. i didnt really realise how close i came. bit scary really and i am really really disappointed at the hospy for just fobbing me off on the friday. if they had of got the dr to spend 5 minutes with me, they could have probably saved me alot of pain. oh well. i do have a strange cramp in the back of my leg but i'll get it checked out at the gp again on wednesday and make sure there are no clots etc. supposedly i was a day away from permanent organ damage. yay for me! stupid tonsils.
Arte and MD: next time, get on a plane and come over and we'll have a slice and dice party! LOL! i'll supply the alchi-hole LOL! hhmmmm, maybe we should wait until arte has had her baby....LOL!
anyway best be off, got to pick up ma gorgeous gal from kindy...
clare-omg! how scary, you poor thing. i didn't realise tonsils could cause so much damage. keep us posted with what happens.
arte- i've gotta tell you, i was sooo tired the whole time this pg. it never ended for me...in fact, i'm still tired now! lol
jaz- my baby making days are over too now! tbh, i'm actually happy about it. i've got 2 beautiful boys and so much to look forward to watching them grow up. sometimes i feel sad that i'll never have a dd, but lewis looks exactly like me so that makes me feel better LOL
pap- we are in huge wind/fire danger. i've already evacuated with the 2 boys and the dog. dh is hanging around doing some work on the house but staying vigilant of course.
md- well done on your sale..i think there's a couple of items i won't be able to let go of...mainly oobi items! lol
mm- can't wait to hear all about your wedding, it's so exciting. you and maddie are going to look so beautiful.
girls, jimmy has been really unsettled last night and today. i'm pretty sure he's got wind pains..is there anything i can do about it? he will fall asleep on my boob but then when i put him on his back in the bassinette he just screams. it's making it very hard for me to get any kind of sleep.
i'll be back late with more birth details if you like, are you sure you guys wanna hear about it? i can't be bothered doing a birth story aor anything but i'll def give you guys a quick run down if it interests you?
RAINY - I AM DYING TO HEAR ABOUT IT! SPILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
glad you are evacuated and safe - will be thinking of you honey
re the wind pain - gawd i dont know!! I think N had it a bit at the start, he used to wake screaming at 4.30 every morning for the 1st few weeks. he grew out of it - my solutuion was that was DH time with him LOL! i remember leemar also telling me a great burping tip - hold him under arms and twist a bit - that helped get a lot of it out after a feed. maybe prop him up a bit? sorry honey i dont really know.
how is L reacting???
Rainy, glad to hear you are well out of harms way. xxx Your pg seemed super-quick this time (to us anyway LOL). Re the wind, massage his tummy in a clockwise direction, bicycle his legs, and any holds that put a bit of pressure on his tum will help too. I had a run in with an oobi stall at the market, lucky for me I was there to sell and not to buy LOL.
Clare, I think you are well entitled to be very angry - it's the way the hospital system works unfortunately. Take a ticket and move along the conveyor belt. Unfortunately it's hard to be assertive when you're in dire need. All it takes is that extra moment of one staff member *really* paying attention to you and suddenly you're in good hands, kwim?
Arte I'm so glad you got to spend some time with your Nanna. I hope she gets through the transition soon enough and can enjoy the care that she gets there that she wouldn't at home, kwim? My Nanna was really against giving up her independence, but when she finally did she eventually got to enjoy things like being able to have a proper bath (with their assistance) and having a hot cup of tea brought in, etc. BTW I think that's hilarious that you're into Twilight! I quite enjoyed the read, not sure I'll be running out to get the rest of the series though.
I don't think we'll hear very much from MM this week, she will be very busy, and then Noni only a week later!!! I think Noni was going off for a dress fitting today. How exciting ladies!!
PAP - enjoy all that cute early walking! How are you "slowing-down-a-bit" plans coming along?
I forgot to say until PP reminded me, yesterday I met cousin's little DD who is 6 weeks younger than Missy E. Just gorgeous and a real little champ despite her vision problems. She has only just a week or so ago started walking too (much earlier than her sister who was a speed bum-scooter LOL) and ti was so cute to see her tottering around. It was fantastic to catch up with my cousins - haven't seen them for years!!
