It is scary thinking bout their first birthdays, we just were discussinh what we were gonna do. Emilys falls on a sunday so thats handy we're going to have people over for BBQ probably, thats what we did for Ash's first. More for the parents anyways, we survived the first year!
Det- we baby proofing as we go along, its funny cause now Ash is 3 we relaxed with everything and now have to start again and remember what we need to move away, what new hazards have popped up. Gotta start remembering to leave the stair gate shut too again now she is climbing.
OP- so much gastro going around at the moment. Glad you enjoyed the wedding, you should've slept in tho, what were you doing up at 7am?! Should've taken your time, had a leisurely breakfast....
Ellie- we still have yet to move Emily out, I keep saying I'm going to and never do it! Did you find out the sex of bubs? Has your m/s settled now? It is sad when they wean themselves, won't be long before you're going again tho.
Ali- how is Ash this morn? Has her temp settled?
Malyna- I made it to 11. Fireworks on tv don't do much for me, I want the real thing. Other years I can see half of them from my balcony but this year didn't bother, esp with rain and storms we had.
Poor Emily was very upset last night, screamed for 45mins at bedtime cause the rest of her tooth coming thru, she was biting down on her hand, have her bonjella and bit nurofen and that helped.

Happy New Year everyone! :dance:
It's actually quite scary because this means I'm going back to work next month and I'm going to have to leave my baby!! I'd love the break (!!) but I'm seriously stressing over how L will cope and how my dad and stepmom will cope minding him. Okay so it's only one day a week...um well 5 hour day, so more like a half day lol...but I'm still really worried. He is so attached to me and cries when anyone else is holding him or when he sees me leaving the room he's in. What am I going to do!!?
To add to the stress, we've just started house hunting! It's really overwhelming and quite depressing at times. We know we can't afford to live in the area where we are now - we are currently living with my mum and we'd love to stay around here but that would mean a teeny tiny apartment for the budget we've got. So looks like we're moving out a bit further to a new and unknown area - scary! I must say, I enjoy house inspections though, it's fun! :)
Oh, did I mention how loud L is now?? He is like a noisy toddler now! Really likes to make his voice heard :lol:
I gtg, he's stirring :rolleyes: Back later! xox
-
Holly- that was our problem, so expensive around these areas, we had a nice deposit so could buy where we are but still we had to forfeight a big backyard to get this area otherwise move further down the highway. Good luck with it!
With L being clingy with you, whats he like when you're not around? Cause Emily is similar if I am in the room she has to be near or with me, cries if I leave but if I'm not around she is fine. Df says she is no prob all day when I'm not there but then as soon as she sees me again she is crying and wants me. Its like out of sight out of mind. I'm back Thurs to work!
-
M is the same, im there and it mum mummummummumumum.. you get the idea!!
where are you looking holly??
det M stood for few seconds todau :o
having a crap day today :(
-
I am being distracted from washing up right now but quickly...
Olive- Hope you arent too sad and hoping tomorrow is a better day.
I am peed of with DP today! No help at all, sat ont he couch all day watching crap, hardly spoken to me unless its to complain about something and then has told me he's on holidays! :WTF: So an I but aparently that doesnt count as I dont work full time! Whatever! I have a child! Grrrrr! They just dont get it sometimes.

Shell I just did a thread on our house hunting adventures lol. Yeah this area is just way over our price range, we are looking wayy down the highway - more like Chelsea and inland Aspendale Gardens maybe...we saw a beautiful house in Dingley Village but they are asking for a bit more than what we are willing to spend so hopefully they change their minds!
I am hardly away from L :redface: So I really don't know what he'd be like without me. Fretting I'm sure. Another issue was expressing milk for when I'm at work. I'm thinking he can either go without for the 5 hours or if that's not appropriate then formula for one feed? :dunno: I just don't get much from expressing, certainly not enough for a feed so it would take too long to build up a supply!
Hmm dimemmas!
Edit...good luck returnign to work! How many days?
-
ali i had a barny wiht DH too about lack of help, hes off for 4 days and just doesnt get it, id just love dinner cooked etc.. i cracked it big time :( he then goes back for 3 days and is in canberra for 4days with a mate...ummmm id love 4 days off too but that aint going to happen soon, i dont even get one night off..... so grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to men today!
holly my BIL and SIL are in seaford
-
Ali- men take a while to learn that being on holidays don't mean the same thing as pre children! Just go out and leave Ash with him. Df went out new years eve and then again last night so I thought stuff this I went out most of today and going out again tomor. He pee's me off when he thinks he can just do whatever he wants with no thoughts to me.
Holly- You could see how he goes, he may not even take formula but you could have it as a back up while you're not there. I do hear about babies waiting til you get home from work and have a booby feast then. House hunting can be so stressful, took us 6 months to get this place, that was after we lost 3 other auctions, finally got this thru private sale, much less stressful than auction. i don't really know much bout those other areas, I grew up over the other side of the westgate so all this side town is still newish to me.
Olive- come and vent to us bout your crap day, maybe have early night or curl up in bed with a good book, tomor is a new day.
-
Olive- just read yr new post, we should start a grrr at partners thread, did he catch on after you lost it at him or still being same old. We should all take off for a weekend spa retreat, see how the men cope without us!
-
shell i told DH i wanted to go shopping this arvo, so he goes out and does stuff in the garden, it wasnt safe for DD2 to go out with him so i had to stay home, wasnt happy
-
then if you crack it they throw it back in yr face and point out all this work they're doing outside to make the house nice. Leave early in the morn, go shopping and leave him a note with list jobs to do.
-
Grrr to the menfolk! My DP took the girls today - so that I could finish unpacking, tidy the house and vaccuum - too good of him! He is however now putting Miss J to sleep - we are trying to break her co-sleeping, feeding to sleep all night habit that she has developed. I can't settle her as she just pulls at my top and screams for bb so he has to do it - hehehe.
Holly - I have had Miss J is care for a couple of months one day a week and she has formula for the time she is there and takes it really well from her sippy cup. It hasn't impacted on her BF at all so she seems to consider it a completely different drink I think, like water. She is also very clingy and cries when I leave but she is fine once I'm gone. She also cries when I come back - like she has only just realised that i haven't been around.
-
nai google Dr Jay Gordan and check out his night weaning stuff :thumbsup: it works!!
-
Holly- Missed that post about CC. DD has a bottle of formula when I am at work. I couldnt express much and it got too setressful. It is great that shse takes both and it hasnt affected my supply for days that I am not working either. We also have the same thing with the seperation. I dont actually say good bye to DD as I sneak off at this stage and she is fine and then when she sees me when i get home she starts whinging but I am assured she is fine during the day which I believe as I have done alot of babysitting, nannying, childcare and most kids are like that. Like to make their parents feel guilty!!
ON BEHALF OF SHELL AND ME - For all of you that have boys, DO NOT let them play cricket or watch it!! Their future wives/partners will thank you for it later!!!!
Olive- I am just going to go out tomorrow. I have had it!
Nai- I am still catching up on everything from going away! Its never ending!
Do you know I was so bored today that I cleaned out my washing machine!!! I took it all apart and cleaned it out! Man it was disgusting! Cant believe I wash clothes in it! The inside was clean but when I took it apart, there was this disgusting stuff (I suppose grime??) underneath it! Eww!
-

-
PMSL Ali - you poor thing being a cricket widow :hug: You must have been bored to clean out the washing machine! I had a washing disaster today when a red dress ran and ruined one of DP's shirts Oops :redface:
