Hi all how are things? I am doing well. I have enforced a day of DH being in charge today. I have just had 5 nights of him on night shift and it wasn't pretty! So yesterday I gave him a day to catch up on a bit of sleep and rest and today is my day to do as I please, except for feeding Cae. He has taken all three kids to the park so far, and is now doing some drawing with Lil and Li. Such a wonderful daddy and hubby! I really and one lucky lady! He keeps on thinking I want him to take the kids away from me, but that's not the point of what I am trying to do, I just don't want to be making the decisions for the day, kwim? I want him to think about what is for lunch and dinner, he can deal with the tantrums and arguments the kids have, he can clean up with a restless baby in his arms....I just want the fun stuff today! Or to do the things I have wanted to do for ages, from start to finish, like making up a menu plan! Or even cleaniing the shower properly, not the half arsed job I have been doing!
Anyway, I should go and enjoy my day, I hope you're all enjoying yours

dont ya love it when u finish ur lunch for the baby to wake up just as u finish, rather than before or midway through?!?!?! god she is earning brownie points for her behaviour today!!
I'd say she's earning brownie points Crumpet - a 13 hour sleep!!!!
Kel, lucky you! I got a few hours to myself on Sunday, but I'd love a whole day 'off' where all I had to do was feed Josh. It'd be nice to just relinquish control like that Enjoy!
Us: We didn't have a good night last night. Josh was up a bit earlier for his feed and then up for the day at 5:30! Not good. He's been a bit unsettled today, I'm thinking it was the pizza the other night. Still, his worst night is still a million times better than DS2's best at this age! Besides, when I have a crappy night's sleep I tend to do a lot around the house the next day! My house almost looks presentable now. At least I wouldn't die of humiliation if somebody dropped by
Mel, you sound like me, Caelan's sleep patterns, although not great are nothing compared to Lily's, and then compared to having two non sleeping children 16mths apart! And when I have had all of 4 hours broken sleep for 4 nights in a row, I get so much done int he house, or with the kids (like going to the park/shops...) because if I sat down I'd fall asleep whenever I sat still for 5 seconds! And bfing Caelan when I'm that tired...OMG, sooo hard not to nod off, lol!
And yep, having the day off has been marvellous. So freeing not to worry about the kids and not feel guilty for it! Lil just asked me if she could do some stamping or painting (which I hate doing with them! Well, moreso Liam who gets it everywhere or eats it !!) so I told her to go and ask DH. So wonderful not to say no to her and see her sad little face, or do it with them and go bananas with all the mess!
not a lot going on really, same old thing different day.
we met our new nephew last night and DH has admitted he has gone from totally convinced we would have a only child to half way convicned its a good idea!
so i figure by the time im ready to do it all again he will be 100% convinced and i wont have had to work on him!
im off to look at a few swim schools ready to start madam in swimming lessons next term. im trying to watch a few lessons so i can see what the instructors are like and if they are forceful in dunking them and stuff like that.
our wedding anniversary is in a few weeks and then my birthday and the we go to the barossa for DH's birthday! cant wait to get away from the IL's!
tina- welcome. I'll PM you with my real name. You can friend me on FB and I should be able to invite you to the group. Our FB page is a closed group so I'll have to invite you.
LOL, alot of the girls in this thread had their bubs prematurely or just a few weeks early. My little man was born ont he 14th of Jan, so he's probably the youngest one int he group.
Hi, can I join this post? My bubs was born 5-1-11, she was actually due 26-1 but arrived @ 37wks! I would love to meet some more mums of bubs around this age...
