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!
Rainy I think I'd sleep a lot better in a huge bed with Sheridan sheets etc on it too LOL! Glad your MIL behaved herself - i guess now that you're Mrs MrRainy now she just has to suck it up and deal with the fact that you ARE a part (the most important part too) in DH's life.
Ah just looked at H's photos - oh, just gorgeous! Totally love the photo of Miss M in the foreground with the three lovelies behind. What a cutie!
Clare - we can't even get any shoes around here that are smaller than a 5!! Most of our trips to Canberra involve a trip to a shoe shop to get her checked out again. And last trip she was too big for the 3.5's she had, but they had to just give her a 4 which is likely to only last about 6 weeks because there were no bigger ones in summer shoes and they only had 2 winter shoes in which both were hot pink and velcro - I can see her keeping them on - NOT!!
Hayley looked gorgeous in all her photos didn't she - and Maddie looked so good with all those people around and her cute little dress.
Trill - have a good break from us!
Kate - poor Sarah, I agree with MD, the vapouriser makes a huge difference whenever K has a cough. Hers tend to hang around about 3 weeks after all her other cold symptons have finished, feels like forever! Stupid pharmacist! And poor you, falling down the stairs!! Hope you mend quickly.
Rainy - glad the outlaw visit went well and she was on her best behaviour.
AFM - very sore back. I think I am sleeping funny and it is not being helped by DD wanting to be carried everywhere at the moment. Except yesterday, she did not want to be carried back from the beach, she insisted on pushing her smart trike - we got a block in 20 minutes, then I gave up, forced her into it and just put up with the screaming for the next few minutes until we got home. Very stubbon little thing.
Rainy:
Glad things with the MIL went okay.
LOL at the bed swapping. I've been having alternative nights with the boys in my bed!!
MD:
Thanks hun. Plus I've had a girlfriend down so trying to appear like all is good all the time so she didn't feel uncomfy!
I think I'd be the same with the boys if we did do Kindergym hence why I thought I mite wait awhile until they have a better concentrations span. Just thought it would be good energy burn off.
Clare:
hehe, L is cute! We were in jb hifi one day (when A was still in the pram) & as we were showing the bag to the door man, A handed him a box set of dvd's he'd swipped , we didn't even realised & I thinkt he dude knew!
Kate:
when was the last time S had anti bio's?? I know GP's don't like to prescribe them too often for young ones but if she's getting worse, you would think they would hey. How you feeling after your fall??
Thanks ladies for the birthday wishes. Alex said (repeated) "happy birthday mummy" which made my day!, cos it was too cute for words!!
Alex got up late last nite & actually refused to watch Deigo but wanted to lay quietly in my bed next to me. He kept whinging his tounge hurts & refused his dummy, slept half the night without one. But was up at 5am, again!
Has been raining since 4 / 4.30 this morning on & off but when its on, its heavy!!
BBL ... off to the shops b4 i get the boys
O, I get to see my mum in 2 weeks!! She's booked a 2 bedroom villa in port macquaried for 2 nights for us. Can't w8!!
GUESS WHAT??? i am posting this from my LOUNGEROOM!! for some strange reason, the connection is working in here! woot woo! ha ha ha, not sure how long it will last for so better copy this before hitting send....
Rainy: yeah i have to say that i was amazed how a newborn baby weighing less than 3 kilos could change our lives so dramatically! sounds like things are going fairly smoothly though. is it different this time around? or does the sleep deprivation still sting?!...
Kate: BIG HUGS sweet. tough times by the sounds of it.
Cally: so hear ya on the stubborn thing. i had to carry leila in a tantrum today as she decided that walking on the road was what the kool kids do...
Hayley: you looked amazing! congrats congrats congrats!
hmmm better keep this short as my thingy thing of the internet thang is flashing. prolly not a good sign....
Morning all. Logan has his needle today, hopefully its nice and quick without to much fuss. I am so happy its raining this morning, feels like we havent had rain in ages. We are going to make play dough and do some crafts today.
L has worked out how to climb up on the computer chairs, it is scaring the life out of me finding him standing on them bashing the keyboard. He also discovered the eggs in the fridge, thankfully no breakages just yet *touch wood*
Andie enjoy your trip hun.
Clare sounds like your little L is going to cost daddy a fortune in shoes as she gets older.
Cally I hope your back is ok, nothing worse then a sore back.
Kate how are you healing up? Your fall sounds very nasty. How is S doing?
Rainy glad things were better with MIL. Had a good giggle at your comment on FB re the farting. Your going to be living in a very smelly house thats for sure.
I love that in the night garden is back on, I get my half hour in the mornings back.
Katie - back is feeling a lot better today, thanks
Andie - lucky you and a little holiday! I'm sure the boys will have a ball.
Clare - woohoo for posting from the lounge room!! That would be handy, I'm not sure DH is ready to give up the desktop computer though.
Well I am trying to eat a bit more healthily at the moment. A nice fresh ham salad roll for lunch each day and just reduce the volume I have been eating too as it was getting excessive. DH bought bullets yesterday and I had 5. Yes, just 5!! So proud of myself.
Andie: hope you have a nice trip. oh man, i wish we lived near a good beach too! i really miss the tropics and dream of my old house in Fiji.
Cally: WOW! 5 bullets only! i so do not have the self control. DH and i ate an entire tub of chocolate icecream last night. felt so ill and yet so awesomely proud! LOL! ah well, i will pay for it later no doubt...
is there any reason for this need to go healthy??? did i miss something here?!
Oz: oh i hope L goes ok with the needle today. which one is he getting? do they have 18 month ones? arrgh i cannae keep up LOL!
AFM: well back at work today. although it appears that i am easing myself into it....being on BB and all. have two chapters that need edits to be put in and chapter 4 needs to be sent off to the supervisor. so it's action stations. unfortunately miss L has conjuctivitis so the poor wee thing is feeling sorry for herself (and rightly so!). DH is taking her to the GP today. i swear we live there ATM.
we are off to tasmania on friday! i totally let it slip my mind what with all the tonsillitis of late. so am trying to hype myself up. it will be our first real family holiday (ie no work related travel!). cant wait as i have never been there...although the boat ride should be 'interesting'.
Clare they have chicken pox at 18 months. He didnt cry at all and scoffed his tiny teddies after. Poor L I hope she is all better soon. Woo hoo on the trip, we would love to go to Taz.
Cally I am trying to be healthier too. With all the MS I have been eating loads of greasy foods and with the bleeding havent been able to keep up my usual exercise. Personally I would have let DH have all the bullets lol.
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 
, we didn't even realised & I thinkt he dude knew!
