Hubs is home today. The joys! lol We never really used to get sick, even with kids but the last few months haven't been kind.
We're all a bit out of sorts but very glad that I hadn't organised Lachie's party to be for another 2 weeks. At least we will all be over it by then.
Just popping in to say I hope everyone is feeling a little bit better - I dont want to jinx my family but it seems we are on our way to full health - Yay
Got Wiggles Concert tickets today for Dec 2nd, I'm mega excited - Oh how the times have changed, no more rock concerts for me LMAO :rofl:
Hey everyone! Just letting you know we are still alive here! I have been mega busy lately, and haven't been on the computer much.
I hope everyone gets better quickly.
I've started walking with one of the mums from school, and have been losing a bit of weight, so feeling a bit better about myself. Jake, Zac, and Logan are all well. Logan is walking really well now.
I will be back tomorrow to do a better post, but wanted to let you all know that I have been thinking about all of you.

Nay

Looking HOT there BG, the new Avi is awesome!
Nay, what a bugger that we won't be able to catch up with you while your in Sydney :(
BTW I just read your status on FB about Bailey that is sooo cute....Mumma first then play!!
Hope everyone who is sick gets better soon :hug:
AFU, well Aaron is on the move.....FINALLY!!! on his bum anyway...he makes bum shuffling fun and he is fast!!
Other than that he has been slepping from 8pm-7am for the last week...WOOT!! and not waking up...mind you now that I have said that tonight will be horrible.
We did check out the Taget Toy sale and in true style bought wayyyyyy too much but have enough for little mans 2nd Birthday next year ;)
Anyway hope everyone has a great weekend!!
Nic
xx
Nic - nice work at the toy sale babe, Yay to have a mobile bubba - watch out world!!
Bailey keeps waking about 430am - arrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I need sleep !!!!
Sean and I are going to the travel agent today to book our holiday, and I'm going to sort out my flights to Melb for our Zoo Meet up - Yay
hi ladies
just started another FB event - i know some of you can't make the zoo trip, and there was talk of doing a kris kringle type thing for the kidlets then - rather than some of the kidlets missing out cos they can't be there, i started a seperate KK event - if anyone wants to participate, i'm happy to coordinate it (i get the joy of coordinating the family one each year and love it - so i'm happy to do this one!)
Still planning to come to the zoo but am in on the KK event too - I have an interview tomorrow so need to do research for that - hopefully will get a job soon then I can do a massive post!!!
We're in for the KK - AND coming to Melb for 5-6 days, going to our Zoo Day, the aquarium, the Titanic Exhibition and a bit of shopping :)
We'll have an apartment (yet to book) but plan to book one in the city somewhere so that can be our wet weather option
Gotta submit my coles order, back later,
Nay

Also, what are your babies weighing these days? I weighed Bailz yesterday, he is 9.8 KGs, getting close to double figures LOL
jamie is over 11kg :) my big fatty
hi again
figure i've been a slacker lately - reading but not posting. i guess it's partially laziness, mostly to save you all hearing the woe is me that is my life atm. E's sleep is up the creek cos of teeth, mine is up the sleep cos of her teeth and stress. life is just full on and i am sick of feeling like i have nothing positive to say! i read, i want to post persies but i just - i dunno - energy gets used for other stuff and i end up closing the tab before bed, unanswered again. sigh
so, on that note - time to share some positives now - yes, this will be a full on gush about my poppet so skip over this bit if you don't want to hear happy in love proud mummy gush!
i can't believe how much E is coming ahead in leaps and bounds. she is so switched on, and every single day she is doing something new to surprise and enthrall me. i am so in love!! she walks everywhere, actually, she walks almost everywhere, runs when she can (which is scary - she is gonna be a runner!). she is talking up a storm and constantly amazes me with what she comes out with. her game of the moment is grabbing her remote (yes, she has her own remote - so she doesn't steal ours lol) - and using it as a phone. we get 'allooooooooo allo' until we reply - but it has to be with a phone or remote to our ear - just replying isn't enough! if we don't, we get "ALLOOOOOOOOOO MUM!". she will giggle and reply to whatever we say, and replies to "i love you" with "yuvooo mummy" (or daddy - whichever of us she can coerce into playing).
she is a rather smart poppet (yeah i know, proud mummy much? lol) - when she is tired, she grabs her wrap and lays on her little couch for a minute. if we don't get to her, she comes over and gets our attention and goes back. if she needs a nappy change, she will grab a nappy from her nappy bag and put it on her couch. she will even grab a full outfit (nappy, jim jams, slippers) when we get home from being out, and lay them, and herself, on her couch! i didn't think it was a big deal - it's just what she does - but a BB'er with a bubba born earlier in May said he wasn't doing that sort of thing and she was surprised, so maybe she is advanced more than i thought.. i dunno!
this afternoon, she decided it was bed time - came up to me and tried and undo my shirt. when i told her that wasn't what you do cos it's rude, she reached down beside me, grabbed the pillow we use at feed time, dragged it up on my lap with her and started pulling at my shirt again, going taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the whole time. she was asleep within minutes. she is so cute!
she knows how to knock on the door to wake granpa and only to do it when granma's alarm goes off.... ahhhhhhhhhhh i could gush all day - i'm just so damn in love with her - all the other stuff going on fades to nothing - where we live doesn't matter - it's just a house. it will be a home becuase it's where our family will live. we will be content because family is worth infinitely more than the walls in which it lives.
Awww, she'd just precious BG, and don't worry, I'll never get sick of you telling us about your gorgeous and smart little girl :) As if we could skip past it LOL
right - that's it - need to weigh the poppet! bbs with an approx!
precious/precocious... no point splitting hairs lol:
just weighed the chubble bubble (fully clothed on dodgy scales) - 12.3kg! little fatty pumbaa!
got jade weighed at CHN today she is 9.2kg (clothed) so prob 9kg... shes only put on 800g since she was 8 months old!
as for KK sorry we cant afford it at the moment.
im just having a pity party caus XP is buggering off up north for work and wont be coming back for several months.... no weekends off for me hmmmmpfh :wall:
i wish BG jamie is so funny though he sees i have a nappy and he runs away lol no words yet but i know when he wants food he stands at the bench where the bread is and when he needs a refill of his drink he hands me his cup nad walks to the kitchen i love it lol especially when i get hit with it lol
Bailz crawls away at breakneck speed when I have a nappy in hand J - perhaps its a boy thing, they just like to flash their willy LOL
Hello my ladies.
*hugs everyone* ive missed you all.
I have spare few mins while andy is napping and ashy is singing to paradise city by guns n roses....
I remembered my p/w yaaaay. been busy with studies blah!!! finally passed my very first units yaaaay. Waiting to find out kinder placements driving me nuts grrrr damn councils. Andrew is walking its offical, does nothing else but when i wanna video he falls down n sooks hmmm And ashy is finally toilet rained yippeee im saving soo much $$$ its lovely.
how are you all? how r those cute lil ones?
Hi Jess!! Glad to hear you are doing well and progressing well with your studies. My kids don't behave for the camera either. Natty now says, "I'm not smiling Mummy" and walks away. Congrats to Ash on the TT. Nat has finally got the picture too and we have very few accidents these days. She is still in nappies overnight though and they are VERY wet in the morning.
Jacinta: Oooh, you are getting to the pointy end of this pregnancy now! Almost 30 weeks! Love the thought of Jamie standing at the bench where the food is, LOL! Cute.
BG: So sorry things have been really rough for you of late. I am so thrilled to read of how you delight in your little girl. She certainly does sound clever! Phoebe picks up and carries her pj's and her bibs... but only to be destructive and mischievous, not because it's bed/food time! LOL! We too have to have a separate remote for her - ours kept disappearing.
Nay: At last weigh P was 9.8kg too (clothed) but she has since had gastro so I would think she's lost a bit of weight.
I have been thinking about Wiggles too as Natty has never been, poor deprived child! I don't think I'd want to go with the both of them on my own though. Eeeek!
Good on you for having Christmas sorted already. I still have to get through the back-half-of-the-year-birthday-list first! I did explore the sales though and I caved and bought N a Barbie for her birthday.
Krystie: We have been very sick here too - feels like Winter is carrying on forever. Hope your DSS's are better and Kyson didn't get too crook with any of it.
Ah, the little one has awoken. She has gone down to 1 nap per day now. Sigh. Our nights have been dreadful while she's been sick, and the poor little thing has such a red bum from pooing so much. Ok, she's really screeching now, LOL! GTG. xx
Thanks for all the well wishes and healthy vibes. DH ended up taking 10yo DSS to the children's hospital on Monday night. FInally after 4 doctors and two hospital visits he was thoroughly checked over and had a chest xray. His chest looks pretty good which was great news. They gace him a possible diagnosis of whooping cough. Apparently whooping cough is only contagious for 5-7 days, so he's no longer contagious, but 13yo DSS who hadn't been coughing for as long probably has it too and may still be contagious (although probably not because it's been more than a week for him too). They are both on meds and have been staying at their Mum's house to keep them away from me and Kyson just in case. Although I still find it amusing that the two kids in the house that were fully vaccinated against whooping cough have caught it, whereas myself who only ever had one shot due to a severe reaction, and Kyson who we've chosen not to vaccinate due to his higher risk of reactions and long term disorders, both haven't caught it. We just still have the tail end of this cold but it's clearing up and Kyson had it fairly mild again compared to how bad it could have been. The DSS's are back on the weekend, but Kyson and I are going to go down and stay a night or two at my parents to again play it safe. Also, my Mum just really likes the idea, haha!
Oh, and last time I weighed Kyson (which was a couple of weeks ago), he was 11.5kg. He's getting close to the 12kg mark when we need to turnt he seat around in my car, but I was thinking yesterday that we might get away with leaving the seat that way a little while longer until we put a new seat in the car for the baby. That way the existing seat in the middle can stay rear-facing for the baby and Kyson can have the new seat installed facing the front.
Nay - I was thinking about getting tickets to take Kyson to the Wiggles too. DH thinks Kyson might be too young, but I was still going to get them. Until I realised it's when I'll be a big fatty preggy, lol!
I hope you are enjoying being back at home after your little trip. Did Bailey give you the biggest best cuddles ever?!
Oh, I've been meaning to take Kyson to the aquarium for ages, so if you defintely end up going let me know what day and I'll try to come with you if you want?
Bridg - Good work on the walking and losing weight. It must feel great to get out and be more active. I've been terribly inactive lately and can't wait until I feel better (and the weather warms up!) to get out and about more with Kyson.
Nic - Well done on already having stuff for Aaron's second birthday! I ended up buying Kyson one thing from the sale, but gave it to him now, lol. I got him one of the little fold out couches. He keeps trying to climb on ours so I thought having his own might help with that. Not really though, hehe.
BG - I know what you mean about being amazed at how much our bub's are coming along in leaps and bounds. It astounds me how much Kyson understands of what I say to him. He's saying lots and lots more words now. It's so funny because if I ask him if he wants a cracker or sultanas he will repeat the word and go to the pantry. Once I have what he wants I ask him to close the door and he does, hehe. He doesn't quite get stuff ready for a nappy change, but if I tell him "Let's go change your nappy" he'll run to his room where I change him. Too cute!
Uh oh! He's just woken up so I better go. Take care all!!!
jamie would love the wiggles but i think it might be a bit hard with a NB oh well they will come again lol
KL - not sure which day we'll go to the Aquarium as yet, we have no specific plans on Friday, Sunday or Monday - so it will be one of those days LOL! Would LOVE you to come along :)
Ooh, we would happily join you on the Sunday? :)
It's a date!!! I'm excited:
Sorry we won't be around on the Sunday now :(
Ah, had SUCH a crap night last night. $10 says Phoebe has tonsillitis again by Wednesday. Her cough is exactly the same as last time. I think it has been 2-3 weeks... right on the money. Poor bugger.
The kids have had a weird tummy bug too - I think they're over it and then they get the runs again. It's odd, and quite frustrating. We are washing hands well, I'm cleaning like a machine constantly but we can't seem to shake it. This morning I was in tears just praying that winter would be over soon. Today has been glorious - am taking that as a "there-there" pat on the shoulder from God, LOL!
Sorry for the self-absorbed post. I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. xxx
Never Mind :(
Hope Phoebe DOES'T have tonsilitis (not taking your bet though, Mummy's normally know these things)
I hear ya on the Winter Whinge Babe, and I'll jump on oyour bandwagon! Tell you what, I'll pack you in my bag when we head to Cairns from Melbourne - l am looking forward to the warmth too. Winter is just damn depressing, I look outside and our garden is just one big soggy weed-fest - bring on spring!
hehehe i hear you! deciding to sell in the middle of winter wasn't the smartest thing we've ever done! the garden clean up is doing my head in! so wet and smooshy, but it's looking fantastic. i'm just sick of grot under my nails! lol:
Amy - hope miss P doesn't have tonsilitis again. i remember getting it all the time as a kid (til i had them out at 11) - not fun! i feel so bad for any little kiddies that get it.
wb Jess!
KL - E is over the 12kg mark now so we've had to turn her seat. she was ready for it and likes sitting up and looking out now. she also likes seeing if we have a snack cos then she can demand one too! lol
argh, was gonna do a longer post but E into everything today! as you may have seen on FB, i spent friday in hospital with suspected appendicitis (after an ectopic pregnancy was, thankfully, ruled out) - we still don't know what happened, but i'm not 100% still, and it's taken a lot out of me. we have an open house on Saturday that DH organised without telling me til a few days later. i don't think he GETS what it's all about, so i neeeeeeeeed to do stuff as much as it hurts and i just don't want to. supervising isn't working lol. so i'm off for a while. today i think i'll tacking the ensuite to make it much cleaner - while he and E are outside. i'm sure i can manage it... i hope ...
BG: Ooer, are you feeling ok now? Still a bit sore? Hope the cleaning goes ok - don't overdo it! Make sure DH doesn't slack off if you do stuff as well.
Nay: I'd love to be going to Cairns. We are going up for Christmas but that'll be the other extreme - too darn hot, LOL! Ah well.
Oh BTW, Phoeb has cracked 10kg - weighed her this morning at the drs.
She has one pus-coated tonsil, but the dr said because her temp isn't raging and she's still looking comfortable and eating well that we'll just observe her for a while rather than having yet another course of ABs, which I am happy about. She said that Phoebs obviously just has a propensity for inflamed tonsils when she catches a bug... Just something we have to live with.
I really can't complain too much - my poor niece is so ill atm. She is immune deficient and has just gone into hospital again because she was septic - extremely ill. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for my brother and SIL, with her being so sick all the time. This winter has really given me a bit of an insight into how incredibly hard it must be for them. I whinge because my kids seem to get colds then tummy bugs then colds etc, but it's all very manageable really. Just a PITA.
I am loving the warmer weather we've been having. It has been cold overnight (was up with Phoebe from 11:30 to 2am last night) but the days have been glorious.
still very sore - i am thinking i must have adhesions or something - everytime my bladder fills i hurt (but there is no infection), everytime i go to the loo i hurt (and am spotting too - not happy!). it's not unbearable now by any means, not like friday. but it's uncomfy enough to be annoying and slowing me down. i wanted to get some more stuff done today (am working the next three days so don't want to be leaving too much to the last minute) and DH was slacking off and focussing on invisible stuff rather than visible mess (i don't think he gets that it's the visible stuff we need to deal with FIRST) - anyway, i had a tired, painful, hormonal hissy at him. all of a sudden two rooms are all but completely finished! apparently me cracking it cos i had rooms looking near spotless and he messed tehm up while i was at work has got him motivated. we've just had a late lunch (after E woke) and will be getting up and pushing for more to get done. i am getting good at sitting in one place, pretending to be a climbing frame and cleaning from there with the point of a magical finger lol:
Thank you for the welcome back Amy..... Oh i seriously thought ash was never going to get it b4 kinder but he did.
Lee ty for my WB. Andy weighs like 12-12.5 kgs i reckon...TBH i have no idea.
We juat had a hard rubbish i could not believe how much crap me n hubby keep crazy.
Hi girls!! I know, I'm such a slacker and don't drop by nearly enough! I do have a quick read from time to time, but not usually enough time to post. Glad to see that you guys are enjoying our little May bundles. The development they seem to make after the first year really seems amazing... But then you'll be shocked again after the second year... The stuff Rochelle comes up with!!! Gosh, she cracks us up! I love her age at the moment, she's so much fun. Although everyday I am stunned at Brooklyn because her personality and development really shows that she's almost a proper little girl now... Not my little baby anymore. She's super cheeky! She loves playing with dolls and absolutely loves 'my little pony' and continues to put it to bed in my baking mitts. We always laugh when we find it. She's trying to copy alot of what her sister says. Rochelle obviously didn't have an older sibling, so wasn't trying to talk as much. Brook follows Ro around alot, but man... Do they have some bust ups!!! I can't help but giggle sometimes. The other day I was in the kitchen and I could hear Brooklyn repeating 'Ta, Taaa? TAAAAA!' to her sister had her drink bottle and Brooklyn thought it'd be a good idea she have a drink too - Rochelle was taking her time giving it to her, so Brooklyn started doing the sprinkler with her arms in frustration hitting Rochelle. Brooklyn can be really sweet too and will take her sisters comfort lamb to her with a sweet soft 'taa leh' (lamby is it's name). Girls are fabulous otherwise. Brooklyn eats like a horse...
Can you believe I only have another 6 weeks till my due date?! Brooklyn was born two weeks early, so if this baby decides to come about the same time, I could only have 4 weeks! I hope I make till my Edd though. I felt like the problems we had with feeding Brooklyn was maybe because she was a little early still. Rochelle is super excited. I bought her heaps of books on new baby's and becoming a big sister... Plus with all the baby's being born in our family at the moment, it's helped her understand heaps. She keeps asking me if we'll get our baby soon or when we get in the car if we're going to pick up the new baby now. So nice sharing it with her this time now she understands more.
I see you guys have been talking about the wiggled! Neither of mine have been either, but I wouldn't hesitate to go if they came to our town! Brooklyn loves dancing and Rochelle loves singing to the wiggled cd in the car... I'd just sling the new born and have one on each side of me. We'd really love to go to Justine Clarks concert too - she's a real hit with both of the girls. When I have dishes to do or floors to mop or something, I usually just pop on a Justine Clark video! Really keeps them entertained. They love her songs in the car too.
Ok, I've probably talked excessively. I hope you guys are all well!!! Only a couple more months till 18 month needles. :o(
Oh, one last thing. Does anyone have any advise on which order I should put the kids car seats in the back of my 4wd? We have two ahr maxi riders and a convertible car seat for the new baby. At the moment Brooklyn is in the middle and Ro is on the passanger side.
Hi Catherine, good to hear from you. I must have totally missed something, because I had no idea that you are pregnant too (although you are a bit further ahead than myself and Jacinta). I'm glad both your girls are going well. With the car seats, I'd probably put Ro in the middle because she can climb in, and then you only have to lift the babies (yup, I still think of Kyson as a baby, lol) to the closer seats.
Sorry I can't post more girls. We're changing over our internet provider and were told that there would be no downtime, but of course the modem they sent out doesn't even turn on, so we have no home internet connection at the moment. I keep jumping online briefly using DH's work wireless internet thingo just to keep up with posts and facebook, lol!
Oh Congratulations Mylitta! You'll soon change thinking of Kyson as a baby once your new baby comes. I remember feeling the same way before I had Brooklyn and then Danny brought Rochelle into hospital after I had Brooklyn and I could not get over how grown up she all of a sudden seemed!! I think the last few weeks since I've been able to tie Brook's hair into pigtails too, it's really made her look like a little girl. Silly I know. But she is a real mummy's girl, so she'll always be my 'baby' regardless. I hope your pregnancy continues to progress perfectly and I'm sure D day will be here before you know it. I know mine has just flown by!!!
Hi all! I got fed up with Kyson's current playgroup recently and looked into a new one. The people in his current one were all nice, but the group was so unstructured and with all the illnesses lately and people just not turning up, he hasn't even had playgroup there for the last 3 weeks. And when we do get to have a play, the toys there aren't amazing and he seems completely bored with it. He's always cranky and very clingy. The toys are all either really babyish or too old for him. I continually try to get people interested in crafty stuff (like finger painting), but no one has any motivation and I seem to be the only one that bothers setting anything up. Sometimes if I set stuff up then the others will let their kids join in, but a couple of them seem to not want to deal with the cleanup (of their kids, lol) and just keep their kids away from anything messy.
Sooooo, I decided to look into whether there were any Montessori playgroups near here. My bestie has her son in Montessori and loves it, and I really liked the sound of how it's run and stuff. I found one that's less than half an hour away and took Kyson for a visit today. I was so surprised that he was happy there and keen to get down and have a look around and start playing with the toys. If you don't know anything about Montessori playgroups, they are very learning based and focus on the child and not social interactions for the parent (I figure that's what mother's group is for). They have an amazing assortment of toys and activities around the room, and little tables and chairs for the kids. They basically get the kids to choose and acitivity, take it to a table or to a mat on the floor, play as long as they like, then take it back before getting a new toy. Granted, it's not quite that strict on a 15 month old, lol. The toys are generally all learning based and are self-correcting, so a child knows if they are doing it right without having to be told. For example, if they are doing a puzzle type toy and the last piece doesn't fit, then they know they have done something wrong. Again, that's more appropriate once Kyson's a bit older, but he enjoyed playing with the toys where you put the colored rings on the sticks, and had some fun learning to scoop water from a jug into a bowl (although half ended up on himself hehe). It's more expensive than normal playgroup ($10 per hour), but I figure it's giving him a lot more than the current one so it's worth it.
Oh, and I got to see the baby yesterday at my Ob appointment. I was really nervous going in there that something was wrong, but she was perfect. Heartbeating at 148bpm, and she's relaxing laying face-up across my belly with her head on my left and in a breach position at the moment. Ob said that doesn't matter though because she'll do acrobatics for many more weeks to come.
Hope you are all doing well. I'm just still finding myself very tired at the moment. My 10yo DSS is still coughing pretty bad and waking up to 10 times a night having coughing fits. He's been off school for about 5 weeks now. And Kyson had two molars cut through the gum yesterday evening, so last night was pretty wakeful and I'm guessing tonight will be the same. Hopefully my DSS will be going to school tomorrow though so I can get an extra nap in with Kyson hehe.
Take care all!!! xoxox
Hey Girls, just a quickie as about to head to bed
KL - How exciting that you got to see Apple Blossom - give that belly a rub for me :) One of my g/friends takes her daughter to a Montessori playgroup also and she loves it too!
Amy - Sorry to hear about your neice, hope she gets better soon, and Phoebe too with her tonsils. Can you send some of that warmer weather you are getting over here!. Oh, I meant to say, when I was on my way from the Airport to the Hotel in Sydney, we drove past this restaurant called the 'Chocolate something', I cant remember the rest of the name, anyway, I wondered if that was where you went for your birthday that time?
BG - sounds like you guys are making some serious progress with the house prep - Nice work, post some pics!!
BM - great to see you around the traps again :)
CatherineL - Good Luck with bubs upcoming arrival, your pregnancy has FLOWN!
As for us, as you may have seen on facebook (my video), Bailey is zooming around pushing his walker so hopefully soon he will 'let go' and attempt some walking :) He is coming ahead in leaps and bounds of late, I think the influence of childcare is playing a big part, he is feeding himself with a spoon really well now, talking up a storm, can put all his shapes in his tupperware shape-O with ease and is just so clue-y with everything, seems to understand EVERYTHING we say. He is loving childcare now too. Has a little cry when I leave, but when we get there now he actually puts his arms out to his carers for them to take him from me. His principle carer is an Amy (all Amy's are lovely) and the baby room team leader (Janelle) just adores him and is first in line for a cuddle when we arrive each day. The other day one of the Toddler Room carers that used to be in the Baby Room came and stole him for a while and took him into the toddler room and apparantly all the older kids were following him around LMAO, he crawls around the place like he OWNS it - definately his mothers son hehehehe. So its all going much better than I ever could have anticipated - it lessons the mother guilt considerably :o
Nay

Just stopping by to say hi quickly!
BM welcome back!!
Catherine - congrats on the pregnancy and all the best for the coming weeks!
J- 30 weeks already??!! crazy!
Krystie - you're nearly halfway??!! OMG! insane!
Hi everyone!
Not much happening... been super busy of late. Lots going on with family.
Lachie's party is this weekend which should be good. Other than that I'm a free woman as netball has finished, and were not doing swimming lessons this term. WOW... a full day at home on a weekend will be something very different for us indeed.
Hope you are all going well. I am going to be SOOO busy in the coming months with so many weddings and things happening, but I'll pop by when I can.
Allira's 15 months old today. I still remember my first post in the belly buddies thread.
xxoo
I was actually reading our old Belly Buddies thread the other day - how far we've all come!!:
Bailz woke as I was posting in here last night, and then all hell broke loose! He pretty much cried all night until 4am. Took him to Drs today, has a nasty ear infection, ABs will hopefully start to work soon. We have one of my g/f babies 1st birthday tomorrow but wont be going, not fair to take a sick baby out, nor fair on all the other babies that will be there. So Bummed, feel like I am letting her down, but nothing I can do
Anyway, just waiting for the Pizza Delivery guy, then will scoff some dinner and head to bed - am shattered after only 2 hours sleep last night!!
Nay
x
I was always told ear infections, aren't contagious so if CJ has been ok in herself is fine to take her out. You might be surprised at how quickly the AB's cheer Bailey up. I have been sick all week, some sort of gastro thing which keeps coming and going, no one else has it, is a bit weird really, and sort of really bad tension type headache with it so have been trying to limit my computer use. First proper AF this week so maybe that is contributing.
Hiya Girls,
Well I haven't written or read for nearly a month!!! That seemed so long it is crazy. Life for us has been pretty busy with DH going away to UK for nearly 2 weeks and then we have been sick for almost 2 months. Every cold under the son we have had. Eventually Jemima started vomiting and I took her to our GP who diagnosed bilateral ear infections... poor bubba the AB's cleared her up pretty quick but gave her diarrhoea for 5 days. Suffice to say it had been a busy time as a single mum. Darren got home but went straight away onto 8 night duties. JEmima missed his so much it has put her sleep completely out of wack.
I have tried every thing but now it seems that she is distressed every morning at about 3-4am...... just wakes up and thrashes around. I don't know what will help. Although I suffer DH suffers worse cos once she finally goes to sleep she sleeps till 10am but he has to get up and go to work at 7am or whatever it is. Last night she woke at 3.30 I took her into bed then but she woke DH at 4am. He finally couldn't sleep at 5.30 or so because she was thrashing so much and had to be at work at 8.
I kinda get that she is a baby and that this is what some babies do, and whilst I am ok because she slept till 10.45am this morning letting me catch up on all the missed night sleep. My DH hasn't slept well since he came home from the UK. Right now as he is trying to study for his exam in FEB next yr it is meaning that our whole family focus is on getting him thru his exam. I must say that I just wish it was over....I am so past it I have said to him on more than one occasion that we don't care if he is a senior house officer we just wish he wasn't studying so much. Anyway he really wants to finish what he started and I want to support my man, but I am thinking maybe I have to go and sleep in Jemima's room just to make sure he doesn't get to interrupted by her frequent night wakings. I have lost all hope as to what to do atm.. I have a regular night ritual with her and music playing and still for the last 3 weeks she has woken regularly in the night too keep me up for hours. I cried on my next door neighbour today cos I was so tired. How embarrassing!!:redface: Oh well Frank my next door neighbour is pretty understanding but still. I am worried. I don't want to sleep apart frm my hubby but my baby is keeping us both up at nights. I cope well with the frequent night nursings it is just the night wakings that kill me.... being awake for 2 hours from 4 am is not ok as far as I am concerned... I feel for you [COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]Naomi[/COLOR] if that is what you are coping with!!!
Other than all my whinges Jemima is going ahead with leaps and bounds!!!! She says "Ello" into my phone and "bye bye" with waving. She also says "puppies" "babies" and of course mummy and daddy. Her favorite at the moment is "tish" which means finished which we say as we sign the word finish to her. She will use it to say she has had enough of her bath or food or anything really. VERY clever I think:) Yesterday we went to a BBQ, and she is so socially interactive that she had 3 of the doctors that DH works with dancing with her on the dance florr as she did pieroettes on the dance floor. It was hilarious seeing full grown men bending to the whim of a tiny baby girl. I must say it made her daddy consider shooting classes for when she was 16.... LOL
ANYway sorry for a selfish rant. Things have been going well with BabyMammas. Selling lots or wraps to people. Not trying heaps because I like ppl to just have a relaxed approach and not be pressured but I have put up heaps of new colours lately which are selling really well.
Anyway I must off to bed.
Hope you are all well, love lots Bella
MWAH! xxxxxx
