well i think i took the high road, or the middle road...or whatever road! lol
anyway...it was all ok. she was on her best behaviour, i think a few people must've worded her up iykwim???
noni- congrats on your boy! you must be stoked
andie-happy birthday honey
katie-what size were your pjs? were they too big or too small? mine haven't come yet. i wish i knew you had a hammock and it was no good, i had no idea. what a waste of money.
jimmy has been sleeping semi-reclined in lewis' armcchair all day. he hates sleeping flat on his back in the bassinette. do you think i could put him in the armchair at night or is it bad for sids etc.? he just seems so much happier in it.
I would leave him in it G. I would often leave the kids to sleep in their rocker if they looked like they were in a deep sleep. So long as he can't fall out there would be no harm. I would always have a rolled up cloth nappy under the head of the matress in the bassinette and that worked well for us.
MD: ha ha ha!! you're right! it should have been the middle road...uh well, i cannae claim any great wisdom on relations what with us living 1000s of kms away from any family!! LOL!
Rainy: glad that it all went well with the ILs. hopefully a sign of the future.
i would be hesistant to have him sleep on a chair. although being a newborn he isnt actually going anywhere LOL! is there any way that you can prop up the bassinette? with Ls moses basket we sat it up a bit on the frame ITMS...
Noni: congrats on the BLUE bundle! oohh Asha's getting brother!!!
Andie: happy birthday! i hope you get lots of cuddles and cool pressies!!
Arte: ROFL! i know i know! i had a telstra man on the phone who also thought it was hilarious...at first he thought it was my poor attempt at a rouse to not get any info on mobile deals, didnt take him long to realise i was for real LOL!
and yeah, i'd go with big black billowing smoke and kilometre high lava to be my clue!
Cally: woot woo! L isnt the only one still fitting in pre-walkers! LOL! i went to go get her some more 'proper' shoes, but alas, they just dont have a decent range in her size yet. maybe at size 5 we will have more luck!
Sherie: yeah i dont think many others would have wanted our old cot. but to me it is just gorgeous and old school. i was surprised at how much smaller it was in comparison to the newer ones!
hello to everyone else that i seem to have missed...man i just can't keep up LOL!
AFM: all pretty good here. feel alot better since i started taking the iron tabs. although being on 11 pills a day is tiresome!
we went into town today as i have gift cards for DJs left over from xmas, and i just can't seem to be motivated to actually commit to buying something. i made a rule that it wasnt to be spent on L and after that i lost all inspiration LOL!
leila's shoe obsession has increased with us being in the shoe shop today and little munster ripping her shoes off and hording all the shoes on display in her pram. it took me a good few minutes to realise what was happening...
Just quickly from me I will be back for more later. Did you all see H's wedding pics on FB (her mate posted some)? She looked divine and Maddie was absolutely beautiful. I am just so happy for her, she was glowing and looked so blissfully happy (as she should) in the photos.
Anyway sorry to ramble and for the completely random post lol I just got super excited seeing some pics.
I did see those photos of Hayley and Maddie. OMG so gorgeous!
Still selfish here for me but Sarah is so not improving. Her voice is harsh and croaky sounding from her coughing and she wakes herself up and won't settle again. So today she had max 30 mins all day and that was with having two sleeps. Poor thing. I went back to the doctor and he still wont prescribe antibiotics (which is sorta good but poor thing). Shes got this horrid cough thats just getting worse. Dr prescibed some cough mixture (can't remember name now, but started with D). Stupid pharmacist didn't have it so gave me Demazin instead (didn't realise at the time). Demazin is for runny noses, blocked noses, sneezing and says nothing about coughs. I didnt realise until that night and rang them the next day and asked them what the go was. They've still got the script there but just assumed that it was for a cold type thing so gave me demazin instead. So mad! So am heading back into the pharmacy tomorrow to get my script and go elsewhere. Gave them a mouthful on the phone and they'll cop it tomorrow also. Why give me something different when the DOCTOR writes a script for something else?
So I'm feeling drained from Sarahs wakefulness and her whinging etc (can't be helped) I feel terrible cos I can't help her or make her feel better. And what makes it worse is that shes refusing the medication so I have to force her which makes her cranky and upset.
AND...I fell down the front steps today with Sarah in my arms. Slipped on the wet stairs and went arse up. Grazed my arm, twisted and grazed my ankle, jarred my back (again) and have a techno coloured arse! lol. I'm sitting on an angle to avoid the bruise...so frikken painful. Sarah was fine of course. I love the preservation skills that we get once we are mothers. I fell once with sarah in my arms when she was 3 months old and sprained my ankle but again sarah was fine. Normally you chuck your arms out to save yourself but once you've got a kid in them instead then you kill yourself rather than drop them.
Anyway...off for now. Got to put sarah to bed and hope that she stays down. She woke and resettled hourly last night.
Kate, oh sounds like it's wars at your house! How long has S had the cough for, is she gobbing up stuff? Does it sounds thick and mucousy? Would you consider seeing another doctor for a second opinion round about now? Poor thing. Do you have a vaporiser in her room? It makes all the difference with how they sleep with chesty/coughs. Oh your poor bum, well done for not dropping S! Twice now. You must have good reflexes
Clare I had a good giggle at L's antics in the shoe shop! LOL Miss E shoplifted a tub of play putty the day before Christmas! I took it back of course.
yes i saw hayley on fb. she looked absolutely divine..and her dh is a spunk
i feel so much better after the out-laws were here today. she's still a total mean PITA but at least the ice has been broken a little bit now.
we are playing musical beds around here atm. lewis is sleeping in my bed with mybeautiful new sheridan sheets and doona (cos for some reason he sleeps a lot better in there), while i'm sleeping in his bed with jimmy....
i can't believe how much 2 little men change rearrange your whole life!
