Oh Amy - DH said thanks for putting him onto those literal music videos on you tube, he said they are very very funny.
All good here, just shattered about to go to bed, been a busy week with work (who after Nov sound like will be up for keeping me on longer but part time - yeah) as have had overseas guests over so had to go out to work functions two nights - fancy free food is nice but two nights in a row I just can't cope with!
Have you watched any? Some of them are funny, some are a bit lame. I certainly got a chuckle out of a few. But you have been so busy probably not had time!
Congratulations on the work! Great stuff. Do you know what kind of 'part time'? A couple of days a week perhaps? lol.
Morning all.
I wonder if Phoebe is finally getting some more teeth - she has been crying in her sleep the past few nights. I get up and get to her room and she stops and settles back to sleep. I wonder if when she's transitioning from one sleep cycle to another she's getting disturbed by something... I wonder if teeth are on the way. Have never noticed teething issues here before.
Taking Natalie to the OT this morning in the hopes that we might be able to address some of her eating problems. She'll be assessed today and we'll find out if she has any sensory processing problems or if her issues are largely behavioural. I just hope we can get some strategies that will encourage her to try new things. Her diet is so limited.
I am really getting the irrits with the rain. I have a big backlog of washing to do! I've pegged some out today even though BOM says it's likely to rain. I can't afford to go another day without doing washing!
I am thinking of starting a thread about favourtism. I never thought I'd be guilty of it but I have to say it is VERY difficult to give the same amount of positive attention to both girls at the moment. Phoebe is at such a beautiful age, even her tantrums are cute (and short, LOL!). I'm constantly struggling with Natty's behaviour though and it needs to be a conscious effort to be positive with her. Probably things will turn around before too long and I'll find I get along with Natty really well and Phoebe is really annoying... I hope so anyway - I really don't want to have to remind myself to be loving toward either of my children, but if that's the way it's going to be sometimes, I'd like it to be not just about one of them.
Hope you are all traveling along ok. xx
Wow so much happening! I hate being all the way here in WA I feel like I miss out alot!
Jade has slept thru the last 4 nights she has only ever slept thru a handful of times so I am amazed, I think cause now the front two top teeth have finally busted thru (you girls prob saw on fb her incisiors or vampire teeth as we called them came thru before the big ones) so now she has 4 on top and 2 on bottom and must have had a growth spurt she was same height and weight for 8 months and has suddenly shot up 3 cm and put on a kilo! She is still a tiny little thing at 10.4kg and still isn't standing or walking ('she has stood a few seconds here and there and will walk holding my hand) but why walk when mummy gets you everything lol!
Looks like XP is going to quit his job (not sure if you guys knew but he's working up north ad DD went up on the plane with XPs mum to visit him) he missed her too much so he's gonna come get a job back in Perth which is good and bad cause it means he can see her more but the distance was great for us no love hate relationship troubles... Oh well see how it goes.
Jades talking tonnes a few 2-3 word phrases but mainly single words and parroting. Shes decided she won't eat savory foods after eating everything and anything grr.
Umm apart from that nothing exciting I've gone back to my old job not happy about that but it's money in the bank oh well. Hope all you lovely ladies are well and remember if u ever plan a trip to WA (lol who would do that) make sure u tell me, I'd love a playdate!
2 kids well its not easy but im not really finding it that hard jamie doesnt realise shes fragile and tries to lay on her and doesnt watch his feet when they are near her head and his tanties rival his fathers but hes teething he already has 12 teeth so hes getting his 2yr molars already but i wish he would talk already thats the only thing hes not doing its still mu mum mum and da da bub bub fa fa na na
J: They really don't know how to be gentle at this age, do they? Phoebe takes great delight in sticking her fingers up my nose... it's like she's trying to extract my brain. Maybe she's going to be a neurosurgeon.
Emma: I must get P weighed, but I don't think she is much more than that. Plus, both my girls are really short. I am glad for Jade that her dad is likely coming back to town! Sorry for the complications for you but how lovely for them both to have each other nearby. 2-3 word phrases is amazing! How lovely.
Nay: Oooh, hadn't caught up with Bailz being an upright mover and shaker now! How cool. Ah, sweety, my girls and I have meltdowns like that all the time - I SO get it. Thus far we haven't had highchair issues but we do have them often with the car seat and stroller. Have you tried those portable chairs that you hook up to a regular dining chair? You can get them from K Mart - we bought one for the holiday. Maybe he would sit in one of those?
Work is not too foul, ta. I just get impatient with it some days and wish I was at home or out having fun with the kids. (We could be having a cino right now, LOL!)
These poor bubs getting their 2yo molars already! Phoebe's are only her premolars but the poor thing is just so sad with them. It was horrible leaving her at CC this morning, she cried and cried
I have had such a quiet week at work this week, but next week will be FRANTIC. I am trying to enjoy the easiness of this week but am just getting bored. (Hence I've been clocking up the BB hours!)
We spent Wednesday with my mum as it was her birthday, and tonight we are having dinner with DH's family for our nieces birthday (which was also on Wednesday). After this we will have 4 more family birthdays, then Christmas, then DH & Natty's birthday 2 days after. Phew, it really is a crazy old season.
I have been trying to get on to FB more regularly. I do see your pics girls, and try to post comments etc where I can but I just don't always get there. I am thinking of you all though and I do stalk you every now and again! Hope all is well in your worlds.
Em - I'm visiting my brother in Perth in March - flight all booked - so people DO visit Perth LOL
Amy - tried the little booster seat thing - we had one from Bailey's brace days as he wouldn't fit in the high chair back then, but he still cracked it, I think its just being strapped in that annoys him, but we have tiles so he needs to be for safety. Just before Bailey was born the 2yo of a fellow Optus employee in my building died when he fell out of his high chair, so I am mega paranoid about this (hence me making Bailey sit on the floor the other day!!) Anyway I think I might just have to start using his little IKEA table and chairs for mealtimes
Naomi- I can't say thank you enough! It was awesome to not have to rely on my sister and her friends and have someone I could call on for Jemima. You did an awesome job and it was lovely just going out as adults and getting little updates to let my mind rest knowing that she was safe and happy. Love you!
Jacinta- Congratulations honey!! Good job on the drug free. you sound proud and you should be! I hope you are feeling great! Sounds like breast feeding is coming along really well too. I can't remember if you bf'd Jamie or not but whatever you did keep going and enjoy the lovely bfing relationship.
Ok I can't stay on here long. I just wanted to pop in and say hi. Life is pretty hectic at the moment. The Friends of the Birth Centre is keeping me busy and we have a picnic in the park coming up soon. We are also due to go to the UK for 6 weeks from Nov 28th so that is exciting. We will be in Scotland for a wedding which sounds lovely! I just have no idea what to wear!
well no i didnt bf jamie well not past 5 days anyway yep its going well except we somehow have picked up thrush but its being treated now and is already starting to clear and shes got her first sniffles already but shes actually feeding better coz shes not sucking in as much air as she was lol
jamie got a new remote control truck its a massive blowup thing and ive started a blog link in my siggy u guys should check it out it took me forever to make the header and im so proud of it lol
Well congratulations then Jacinta You sound very proud, good for you. And if you find yourself struggling and need advice at all feel free to ask. There are lots of us here who have enjoyed bfing. If it is late at night remember the 24hr hotline 1800 6862686 or I remember it as 1800 mum 2 mum. The Aba has consultants on all night. They have helped me several times when I struggled with one issue or another. Good luck babe
Hi everyone, have been reading at work, but have to save my fingers from typing too much on IPhone. My parents are here which is cool, and am now part time which is great as I need some extra sleep - because I am pregnant - is only early days 4 wks 4 days, had confirmed at docs today, HCG level good 600 at 30 days since LMP. Anyway very happy about it, originally I had thought winter 2012 but decided might want less of a gap for lots of reasons (one of them BB just makes me clucky!), so we were NTTP (not trying to prevent - as I like to call it) and have been very lucky that has happened right away. Anyway mum has just finished cooking me tea so got to go. Is all hush hush on FB till the new year and the 12 week scan.
Yay, Congrats Vic, that is awesome news - we'll I'll aim to have the 2012 baby then (or late 2011 lol). So pleased for you that it happened so quickly - Yay! Hope you are feeling well and healthy
Congratulations Vic!! Brilliant news All the best for a H&H pregnancy. (And love NTTP, haha.) Enjoy whatever rest you can get, mate. Glad you are down to part time now and are able to enjoy more time with CJ.
Nay, how are you going with mealtimes & the highchair issue? We have just aquired a little table and chairs (thank you curbside cleanup!) and I let the girls have dinner there the other night on N's request. Damn, I wish I didn't have carpet! They made such a mess but they had a lovely time.
