Det, so sorry to hear about DD! Poor thing Hope it heals up nice and quick. Have a great time for boof's birthday!
Malyna, good luck with the letters. My fingers are crossed for you. Lol at the blowing rasberries with food in mouth. L does that too and it is sooo gross!
Olive, M is a very clever girl, all those new tricks! Good luck with breaking the feeding/sleeping habit - L does that too.
Kaz, glad you got a decent block of sleep the other night. Hope it continues!
Nai, woohoo on the sleep! Hope she doesn't go back to the screaming phase! Sounds like a lovely date you and DP had the other day. Your manager seems very accommodating - it's so much handier when they have children of their own (helps even more if their kids are hard work, not that I wish that upon anyone!)
Pinny, glad you had a good trip. Good luck to you too with breaking the feeding habit!
Hi to everyone else!
AFU...well I'm taking the plunge and RESIGNING FROM WORK!!! Yep, spoke to my manager, told her it wasn't going to work out. I'm just really not ready to go back and it would create far too much stress than the money is worth. She is going to get back to me on if i can extend my leave, but I doubt it and she knows I will probably be resigning. I just have to get the letter in asap. Phew, it is such a relief. Not looking forward to job hunting in the future though...cross that bridge when I get to it
Gtg, L is awake and I can hear him straining, creating a parcel in his pants for me lol.
Kailani- I bet it is a big relief to not have to go back, I felt the same and that's why I extended my leave...I'm already dreading that in September!!!
Nai- Sounds like you had a lovely day with DH, I need to do more thimgs like that I feel like I almost put him last these days
Malyna- How are you going??? Did you speak to your MCHN?
Kaz- Not sure on the eye color, i tend towards more hazel, but might just be the photo...
Heaven- Any more 8 hour blocks??? We got 7 hours last night!!!
Hi to everybody else!!!
L is really starting to get vocal, lots of new sounds happening here!!! ANd loves to copy us too, loving this age!! Too cute.
H iall,
A quick drop in. I am reading the posts, but not really posting much anywhere at the moment.
Holly - I am pleased for oyu. I did the same thing when I had James. I resigned. I found a job fairly easily when I was ready though. Second time around I have been working for a while now, but as DH is a sift worker it is not like leaving them in care.
Nai - I am pleased that you got some sleep!!
Olive - I hope you are ok. You seem quite stressed lately.
Malayna - I too hope you are ok aswell.
Ali - Cute pics on facebook!
Shell - I notivced on FB that DH is back at work. The hols go so fast don't they?
Det - I saw on FB that ayour little girl had broken her arm. Poor little thing. How did she do it?
I hope our preggy mums are doing well.
Not much here. James had his kinder orientation (he got a late offer, so got in!!) That went well. Just hanging at home today. Activities start again next week, so playgroup will be back as well as swimming. Yay as J gets so bored!
Det - hope the arm heals quickly.
Holly - woohoo on resigning, hard decision. You will find work down the track, when you are ready for it (or it will find you).
Haven't spoke to the MCHN, but have spoken to a heap of experienced mothers who have said "Oh phooey" to what I was told - SIL bub (who is off the growth charts) went for a few months without gaining weight, but gained in length, another one told me that her daughter was just petite (which is better for a girl but not so good for a boy, unless Alex wants to be a jockey). I'm just going to let Alex be Alex and unless he shows signs of illness, I'm not going to worry about it... He will be who he will be.
Plus A got his two top teeth through, so we have been going through the yoghurt (the only thing he will eat with sore mouth).
Alex is using my toothbrush on a box of clean nappies.. sigh.. he figured out how to open the drawers and the doors in the bathroom cabinet, so everything non baby friendly is out of his reach (for the moment).
meg so glad DS got a place in kinder!! what a relief!!
malyna DD is into opening drawers too drives me insane!! shes into everything!
well my plan of not feeding DD to sleep backfired, she woke after 30 mins took me 90 mins to resettle, in the end with boob and we had a good day with sleeps too, just dont know where i go wrong
I hear you Olive! I have no idea what is going on here at the moment...and omg I am soooooo tired...sleeping whenever A closes her eyes...day or night...sorry for no personals...reading and keeping up but then retaining nothing...I'm stuffed...please please sleep tomight
Just popping in to say hi and THANK YOU lovely ladies for the birthday wishes!! I feel so loved hehee!! I handed in my resignation letter today - boy is that a huge weight off my shoulders.
Hope you all have a good night. I'll be back for personals tomorrow xox
Olive, wow a secret/suprise wedding! Did your parents know???
Heaven, woohoo on the walking! What a clever little girl!
Nai, that's too cute - DD pressing the music and drifting back to sleep!
Malyna, good luck at the sleep clinic. Hope it works a treat and you get some great advice and helpful settling techniques.
Shell, I went out for dinner last night for my birthday. It was a great night out!! It was just nice to catch up with my close friends/family, eat delicious food and have a glass of champagne! Poor L though, he had 2 green runny/liquidy poos today, I feel so irresponsible Re work...nope I am not going back at all in the near future. I will be finished my degree in 3 years and then plan on TTC #2, then doing post grad...so looks like I won't be working for ages! Woohoo!
Kaz, I'm going to check out your thread. It was a really hard decision initially to resign from work, but then I thought I'd call centrelink and see what would happen to our payments once I started earning $$ (DP is an apprentice so we get youth allowance + parenting payment coz of low income). Turns out with the money I earn from working 2 days a week, it would cancel out most of the centrelink payments and we would only profit $50 a week from me working I was like omg no way am I going back for only $50 a week more than what I'm getting now. I don't want to be a welfare scab but I'd much rather concentrate on my studies, be there for my baby, and contribute/give back to society in a few years time. The getting organised, the traveling time, the buying lunch, the stress of work + leaving L, is just not worth $50 for 2 days work to me, I don't mean to offend anyone. But yeah, that made my decision so much easier!
Hi to everyone else!
Well that's all from me. My cousin bought me the sims 3 and I'm addicted! Should really try and get some sleep but would rather play the sims Talk soon! xox
Hope it heals up nice and quick. Have a great time for boof's birthday!
drives me insane!! shes into everything!
