I would be holding on to it as long as possible too MP. How are your boys going at night? W is currently waking once or twice (but no tantrums atm so easy resettles), and A is waking up quite a few times. I just realised tonight that I am going to be in trouble this week when DH is away, I don't know how I can manage both. Phernegan time? lol, knowing my luck it would just hyper the pair of them!
G: i can see how it would suck big time to not be asked, even if just out of politness and acknowlegement that you have done it all before ITMS). but then again, i guess she probably would feel close enough to ask only if she were your sis, not SIL itms (i cant really vouch on this one as i am an only child and my BIL is a bit crazy lol).
also, i remember when i got my BFP with leila i raced to the GP who asked who my OB was, i didnt have one so she gave me a list of names and told me to ring straightaway, so i got back to the office and called...got the first one that had a spot. it's all so much info when you first find out (especially if you werent expecting it ITMS), so no doubt she just followed that really fast path of booking in/bloods/scan details etc etc without even fully realising what had just happened...mebbe.
Cally: we do have a downtime with Leila now. usually it involves a book or two (where she reads it on her own), or she watches two shows on TV.
i was a notorious steak chewer-spitter. still not the biggest fan...
MP: far out woman! that does sound nasty i hope that it is just a freaky rash outbreak kinda thing and not the skin allergy that your mum has...doesnt sound like it would be much fun. FWIW, i got this super angry crazy rash itch when i was pg with Marta, midwife thought it might of been shingles (did you get checked for that?) but it turns out that i all of a sudden got a reaction to the chemicals at the pool! i cant swim at that place anymore (but other public pools are fine...so must be the brand?).
Arte: oh man, that is great news about the new friend. it so can make a hard day seem so much rosier. i love my neighbours for that
i think my brother is only interested in just checking out my pics for the moment lol. i think finding out i even existed was a bit of shock...my *awesome* father managed to keep that one quiet from them all this time . considering half of our home town knew, it was a talented activity lol.
sherie: aw man, that is lucky that L is back in good health. we are still struggling here
AFM: well i am shagged. to put it bluntly Leila is still quite unwell and is becoming behaviour wise quite horrid. temps and rivers of snot after 8 days does not make for a happy camper. i wish that she wakes tomorrow fresh as a daisy
and now i feel extra blergh as i just read in "the age" today about the newborn baby in western NSW, arrghhhh! i guess with all the BB loss lately and this news on top, i just feel in freefall and want to just have a magic wand and make the world happy and safe for all (sorry for the downer, i *think* being housebound for almost 2 weeks is no good for the soul!)
Good morning, how are we lovely ladies on this sunday morning??
MP - do you use Dermaveen wash, shampoo, conditioner & moisturizer's?? DP's got a mate who has itchy skin & he always come's to me for the moisturizer as I buy the stuff to suit the boys diet (no nasty chemicals etc). Just a thought I had when I was reading your posts.
Soz, no personals this morning.
I am absolutley exhausted. After a long week, I spent yesterday afternoon sleeping only to suprise DP at 8pm by announcing I'm going to bed. Didn't help I stirred at 2am when I realised I was sleeping alone & then when he got up at 4.30am (had to be on the other side of Brisbane by 6.30 for Golf) thus I'm almost ready for a nap ... I'm only watching Handy Manny with A&J this morning.
Hi girls
Ended up going around to my bro's house yesterday to congratulate them on the pg and sil told me she chose the ob because she heard that he was very pro caesarians and 'liked to get in there and get it out quickly'. On the plus side, she did say she would like our cot and some help in choosing her car seat, pram etc. And she even told me the name she wants to use which I really liked
Bbl xo
Yikes. Guess she wont be getting any birthing tips from you or joining BB! But good that she recognises your shopping abilities. She doesn't realise how lucky she is!
G I'm glad to hear that she seems to be more receptive to you
Andie, I hated that the most about being pg - the mind numbing tiredness that you just couldn't beat.
Cass that's crappy that she's still not well. L still isn't back to 100% normal though, he played a full 60 minutes of footy yesterday and he was knackered and fell asleep in the car on the way home.
Well after cautiously hoping that the mice would avoid us, I got home yesterday to the familiar stench of mouse. Didn't help that the house was closed up while we were out at footy either. Then I had a **** night sleep because I could hear them everywhere. I have spread poison sachets around the house and they have all been chewed at so now I just wait to clean up the dead ones LOL. Not to mention all the cleaning today to get rid of the smell.
A has a little girlfriend too LOL. She is a girl he goes to preschool with and her Dad works with DH and they are heavily involved in the footy club as well, so they spent all day Friday together at preschool and then all day yesterday together at the footy and they were inseparable. He even went to the toilet with her LOL. they just wandered around on their own talking and playing. Not getting into trouble or anything. She is a real little sweetie too - all blonde curls and chubby cheeks. They are only 4wks apart in age too. I realised that I hadn't seen him for a good half hour or so, so I went to see where he was and they were sitting on a bench next to each other just talking away. It was so cute. He is adamant that they are just friends though when DH ribbed him about his girlfriend.
i love it when they have little friends like that. Although today leila and her boyfriend had a bit of horrid day of lover's spats et al. but they were both lurgy monsters so no doubt it was the germs a talkin' lol.
and eeeww on mouse smell...gosh how many would it take to get a smell?? i dont envy you on that little clean up...
Not many Cass - it's all the wee they put everywhere that stinks. I'm sure they walk along ****ing as they go. We caught one mouse yesterday and I know there is at least 3 others in the house because when I was hearing them last night, one mouse couldn't be in all the places I was hearing them so quickly. I did see one as I was cleaning out under the stove before I put the roast on but I couldn't get to it to kill it. Compared to how bad it was a few years back when we were catching up to 5 a day this isn't that bad at all. I just hate all the extra cleaning I have to do while we have them. But everyone in town has them too and has had them for a while now so we've done well to be mouse free till now.
Trill,that is cute about A's little girlfriend! W would have absolutely no idea what a girlfriend even is lol. He knows who is a boy and who is a girl, but that is as far as it goes. For such an observant kid, he has never asked why A doesn't have a doodle. Yet he is interested in every other aspect of how the body works and I am sick of talking about voice boxes!
Cass, hope L gets better really soon and you get out of the house. I was stuck at the house for nearly two solid weeks a few months back (IL's were here so it was deemed easier to take one car and leave A and I at home!). I wasn't a nice person by the end of it!
G, I am glad you got a chance to talk to your SIL. She must think enough of you to trust you with her name - you can't tell just anyone in case they poo-poo it lol
DH has gone away until Thursday for a conference. Wish me luck!!
ooohh good luck arte- i'm sure you'll be fine, fingers crossed they both sleep for you. L doesn't usually have a day sleep btw, but he will occasionally, just really depends what we have done in the morning. even J has been going without a day sleep too sometimes now, but if that happens he will crash out at 6pm so i don't mind.
in other exciting news- i got a new bed today! well, ordered it anyway. it will take a few weeks to get here as it is being made but we are so excited! and the best bit is that it is king size!!!! plenty of room for all of us LOL
Ginger, yay for a new bed! We have a king and it is great. When we got it we had W, the cat and the dog on there with room to spare.
Sleep didn't go so well. Wake ups at 12,2,3 and up for the day at 5am. Only three more nights though. DH has been a massive help at night lately. Either of us can resettle either kid so usually I do it if I am still awake (takes me ages to get to sleep) and if I can't be bothered I send DH. He also gets up around 5am for work so he always does the early shift and I get to stay in bed. I hate getting up early!
Hi everyone
Just wanted to pop in & say hi, I've been reading but not doing a very good job of keeping on top of anything I'm afraid. DH arrived some a day early on sat but I was so worn out by then i only feel like I'm starting tp get back to normal today. Have requested an extension on my thrillingly interesting assignment which is due today (might post a link later so you can all WET yourselves laughing at how insanely dweebly boring it is lol). I was so tired it took me about 2 hours just to work out how to apply for the extension
for you MD. I hope having him home means that you can catch up on some much needed rest. I'd love to see if your mind-numbingly boring assignment beats the one that I had LOL.
Arte, I hope last night was just a once off with crappy sleep.
G, what kind of bed did you get? We badly need a new mattress for our bed. I cleaned out underneath it today because of the mice and I discovered that they have actually chewed hole in the underside of the mattress and have been nesting inside it!!!!!!!! OMG it completely grossed me out. But we caught two in the trap since 6am today and I can smell a dead one elsewhere in the house that I have yet to locate so I'm hoping that we have beaten them. When DH gets home today I'm telling him we just can't put off a new mattress any longer because of this. We needed a new one years ago but never had the money spare to justify getting another but this is just icky.
omg trill! I can't believe how bad your mice problem is!!! you badly need a ratter cat!!
the bed we got is from forty winks, i think its called aurora and a king koil chiropractic mattress
hi md- assignment sounds v boring, gees i'm glad i'm not studying anymore. i honestly don't think i could do it!
We have the feral cats but the problem is just getting to big for them to keep under control now. They are the fattest, healthiest looking feral cats I have ever seen LOL.
