CONGRATULATIONS to Katie on the safe and happy arrival of little Zoe! *Love* the name, sooooo chuffed there's another (so not really September) September baby in our little family
Well the men were here clumping around and drilling and sawing and turning the power off and on and now I have Aircon! Big windy lovely aircon that blows all thru the house. Of course it's freezing and windy and raining today so I won't get to test it out today but I'm happy it's there anyways!!!
LOLing at the bug-keeping fiasco Arte. PMSL that they were let out for a turn on the tramp. Sounds like it was survival of the fittest in a box. WTG William the hero, you only have to train him up a little more and you could have your very own burglary-derived income stream, very ****ensian LOL.
MM - aw so sorry to hear that crummy timing, I hope it doesn't muck the holiday plans around too much. Poor little chookie. FWIW I flew once with an ear infection which was not noice at all but I got to the other end and a day or two later the drugs kicked in and I ended up having quite a nice holiday after all.
MP, did you mean a toy for using in the car OR a toy car to ride in? Good luck with WW today, I haven't done anything about it yet (too many desserts while the ILs were here). Missy E has her own special whiney voice, if "mummy mummy mummy" doesn't get my attention quickly enough she'll call me by name.
Trill what a bargain on the cubby! LOL at why why why..because. Missy E hasn't stumbled onto that one yet, she's too busy ordering us all around to ask any questions! LOL at the chocolate Santa moment. Missy E hasn't had any accidental shoplifting moments yet...I'm surprised since she has telescopic arms. (BTW - can't have HRT because the funky boob cells were oestrogen receptor positive - so they tell you to steer clear of artificial hormones for the rest of your life to prevent recurrence).
Ange, well I still reckon it'd be weird getting a massage from your own dad but I love the idea of your own personal masseur!
Ginger, you always know the right thing to say to cheer me up! LOL at L's misadventure with the lip gloss!
Leanne, so good to hear from you, sounds like things have been pretty busy with you. Enjoy your weekend away, so great to have some time away from everyday life. The kiddies always seem to enjoy their sleepovers with family too.
Clare, I've got all dreamy since you said you're in a mountain village...even more movie-like than before!
AFM - slightly paranoid today after Missy E was playing with an empty fruit juice bottle with a bit of water in it, she tipped it up and sort of choked after the water shot into her mouth/throat fast. She really couldn't breathe at all for the space of a couple of inhalations before she managed to cough it out (and have a big cry). That was last night. Saw the thing on Oprah about dry drowning so I've been irrationally paranoid ever since, got up all night to check she was breathing and lips weren't turning blue or anything. I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with her, her breathing sounds completely clear and she's full of beans today but I'm having trouble getting on top of my paranoia so I've booked an appt at the GP for them to listen to her chest. More so I can sleep tonight than anything LOL.
Oh no MD- i dont know if i want to know what dry drowning is? I am sure she will get the all clear at the gp, but good to check for your own peace of mind.
Arte - N is being alot better since DH came home - cheeky little so and so... though i am jealousof yu all as he still doesnt sleep through- he is pretty good though.
MM - hope the gp gives M the all clear to fly, poor little thing. i guess be prepared for some screaming... i think if you have a med cert they will let you chg flights - maybe call and beg...
WW went well - I lost 1.9kg this week!!! i am in shock... i guess the first week is always going to be a good one but i am v happy w that!
Selfish post sorry girls. Been to the Dr & been crying ever since. Poor Maddie is so unwell, she has a horrible cold but the worst part is both her ears are infected. Therefore she is unable to fly as the risk of causing permanant damage is too high. Dr said she definately cannot go. So been bawling my eyes out for my poor sick girl. Dr gave us a medical certificate to change our flights, but the price doubles, as we got them on sale for $300. Otherwise we can get part of our money back under travel insurance. However DH's parents have offered to take her for the 8 days we are away, & we are going with that. I hope we are doing the right thing. She is on antibiotics now & a stronger one at that, so hopefully after a couple of days she will be on the mend. Dr is referring us to an ENT as well, as she has had too many ear infections and she still isnt saying alot. I know they will look after her, but god I feel guilty. Are we doing the right thing, or should we just stay at home??
Oh honey - whata tough situation and hard to have the make the decision so quickly... I cant say what to do or what i would do as i guess it depends on the situation at the time. I'm sure she willbe ok at the ILs place as she stayed there happily last time - and will you and DH be able to relax and have a nice holiday or will you fret the whole time? if you will still enjoy yourselves i guess on balance go - it wont matter in the long run.
I think it is good you are going to the ENT - this happened with a friend whose son was having lots of infections - they gave hm grommets and his speech took off a few months later... good to get it checked out in any case...
Big hugs sweetie - what an awful situation. I am sure you will do what's best for you all. xxx
MM- I am sure she will be fine with your MIL. RE the ENT Thats great news he might just put gromets in and then I am sure you will notice a huge difference in her. I hope she gets well soon. Poor Luv
Art- Xavier is on his 3rd lot of gromets his ear canal is imature.
MD- Poor Miss E that def would have been scary
MP- WTG on the weight loss thats awesome.

congratulations katie and jay and logan. i love the name zoe, it is gorgeous, you must be so thrilled
mm- oh no, what horrible timing. i'm sure the ILs will spoil her rotten and take wonderful care of her. what is an ENT?
mp- fabulous weight loss...mine has slowed down a little but slow and steady wins the race, or so i keep telling myself so that we can have pizza for dinner tonight
arte- i saw something on the news about a little 2 yo girl in nz being adducted and it has been on my mind ever since. please tell me that they've found her? as i haven't heard anything since that original story.
MM - tough decision, but whatever you decide, don't feel guilty!!! You know your ILs will take great care of M, and goodness knows you needs to rest and re-energise yourself at the moment (it's been a hard year for you ) but at the same time only you know if you'll be able to cope being there when she's not well. BTW I also think the ENT is a good thing, in a few months time this will all be behind you. xxx
oh fck! jimmy just fell off the couch and hit his head, i am completely freaking out. should i take him to the hospital? what should i do? what do i need to look for? fck fck
I'm so happy to hear about the new arrival Oz! I hope the bleed wasn't too bad. She sure is a long leggy little girl though!
G, unfortunately they found the little girl in a drain and the worst part was they had actually searched the drained several times but always missed seeing her, but they think it would still have been too late anyway
H, definitely get her checked by the ENT because it's just not right that she should be getting so many ear infections. I'm sure she will be fine at the IL's and if they are happy to have her for that time knowing she isn't well then I'm sure they will take good care of her. I hope that this doesn't cause anymore problems for you with your MIL though.
PP great weight loss hun!
MD, actually I think I did know that about the HRT in the back of my mind. Have you taken E to the Dr yet or is that not till later today?
LOL at L's misadventure with the lip gloss!
but slow and steady wins the race, or so i keep telling myself so that we can have pizza for dinner tonight
