shell think ill just go to the dr, but i tell you if its another infection i WANT a referal!
what did you go to castlemaine for??? awesome taht it was childfree!!
i havent had a childfree night since sophie was born :o 3.5 years! the first night i didnt have S was the night i had M
A good friend of mine moved up there couple years ago. I've decided every school holidays I'm going up there for a night.
fair enough!! sounds very fair to me
i took M to the Dr's this morning and she has anotehr sinus infection :( more ab's
:hug: Jols. Poor little Millie. I saw your other thread. I would recommend seeing an ENT specialist as well. My sister had ongoing sinus infections from a baby through to her childhood. She constantly had them and they are painful. Mum and dad took her to a ENT speicalist and it turned out that some of the cartlidge in her nose was blocking the sinus passage. I think at age 11 she had the op to have some of the bone shaved off and has never had a sinus infection since. I hope it doesnt come to this but she has not had a sinus infection since!!
Shell- :hooray: for having some time to yourself
ali were going to eliminate dairy first and go see my osteo to make sure she is aligned right, then its off to the naturopath!
hope you have a better night tonight!
girls were up at 5.30 this morning, M got the egg hunting business :o i was a little shocked, they loved it though! hoping M sleeps better too now the ab's are working
I hope you get some answers Jols :hug: That is so cute M got into the easter egg hunting.
Ash went down at 6:30 tonight :o i couldnt kee her up any longer. I really hope we have a good night too. The poor thing though has 3 teeth coming through as well as all the mucous on ehr chest and nose. :(
On a positive note, i am loving that she is becoming more interactive. She understands a lot mroe of what we say and does funny things to get our attention and she knows she is being funny! Her interactions with our dog Winston are just classic as well. He just adores her!!
Hope everyone has had a lovely Easter :grouphug:
arrhhh 6.30pm is the norm here!! she even had 2 hour sleep today! yippeee now why doesne she do taht everyday!!
do you have a vapouriser?? M has had hers on for the past 2 nights and has slept better. poor chook :(
M understands lots too at the moment, i tell her to go get a nappy for me and she does! very cute!
just talking to myself!!
sucks that everyone is away :( DH is sleeping in (totally not deserved if you ask me)
better night last night, M woke at 2.10am and i had to resettle twice, then i fed her at 5am and she slept til 7am
:hug: Jols
shocking again... up at 1am wouldnt settle still at 2:30pm was in bed with me and finally crashed out after pulling my hair, whackng me in the head, head banging her own head. Not fun :( Woke at 5:50am. It was so light!She is asleep now though.
Shell - that sucks your sewing is on the nights you work :( but yay on child free nights with mates!!
Olive - :hug: You must be so over the sinus issues with M. She sounds like a clever girl tho!
Bella - Love your new avvy hun. :hug: for your crap sleep. DS was up every hour or two again last night as well so I feel your pain. Blaming teeth again here. We were having a good run before that too with at least a 7 hour stretch each night and one night he went 9 hours :o
Shell - That sux about your class.\
T oeveryone with sleep problems - just remember - one day you will be the one trying to push them out of bed!!!!!
E is such a character. She stacks blocks and thinks it is so funny to crash them down. She also has become quite domestic, and follows me around when I am sweeping with her broom - sweeping along behind me.
If J is on his bike, then she has to be on hers. If J has a drink then she has to have one. She also love lying in his bed at bedtime and having stories. They really do adore each other. She also thinks it's funny to jump on him, but then gets upset if he jumps on her!!
Back to work tomorrow, amd Wednesday, then off to the holiday house for the rest of the week. DH has a month off now. So hoping that he actially gets some stuff done, and not just go off playing golf elc.
I am actually quite down on myself at the moment. I am not even really sure what the matter is. I just think maybe my life has not turned out how I had hoped. Maybe I did the wrong thing at uni- and I a m in the wrong career. Maybe I had the kids too early/too late - I actually don't know - I just keep feeling that there should be more to my life than what I have.......
oh no ali :( does she still have a cold/snotty etc... if she does if be getting her checked for an ear infection or fluid on the ears, laying down for a period of time causes pressure onthe drum = pain. i hope tonight is better!
kaz how are you feeling about going back to work tomorrow?? :hug:
i hope J goes back to some big blocks of sleep for you.
lilima my girls are the same M like to copy S but i find S wants to be like M more!
what do you mean you choose the wrong career?? what would you like to do?
can you get some time out whilst DH is on hols?? hopr your ok :hug:
AFM had trouble getting M down tonight, not sure why, hope the rest of the night goes well!
Olive- If tonight is bad I am going to take her as it is very out of character for her. She screams blue murder during nappy changes as well :o Have you only been given AB for M? I was wondering about decongestents like dimetapp?
Kaz- Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Let us know how yo go if you arent to tired when you get home. I hope J gives you a good night sleep. 9 hours would come in handy tonight! You might find that CC wears him out. Dont feel embarrassed to call the centre during the day as well. I called a few times the first few days of DD going just to see how she was and theywere really lovely about it.
Lilima- Oh that post was so gorgeous about your two babies. It made me smile! Its things like that, that make me want to have another child. Enjoy your holiday and hope Dh doesnt play too much golf! I hope the time away will help clear your mind about things. Feel free to vent to us all :hug:
yep shes only on ab's but when she had glue ear (fluid behind the drums) we had to give her dimetapp and panadol every night, i had to get a script as its for 2yrs+ but we had to halve the dose that was stated on the box and no it didnt make her drowsy (unfortunatly)
oh and a vapouriser is a must you can get them from chemist warehouse for $36
Olive- Poor Millie, glad you've got a plan in place, must be so hard seeing her unwell and so often, lets hope you get to the bottom of it
Bella- How's DD now?? Did u go to Dr's
lilima- How are yo today?? Hope you get sonme time to think about what it is your looking for in life, don't be too harsh on yourself, you are a fantastic mother and you have achieved alot in life already!!b Big Hugs hun!!
Shell- Our caravan is down near Wilson's Prom about 4 km before the entrance. It is located on a little inlet and is so peaceful, my mum and dad and cousins and aunty and uncle all have vans too so we get to spend heaps of time with the extended family which is fantastic!!! I love it... Pity about the sewing, I did a few class classes befoe I had Lewis mainly patchwork, what kind of stuff do u sew?
Kaz- L is teething too!! How are your night atm??
Well we came home tonight, after a busy weekend it was my first of driving down and back without DH, he just came over night on Sat. Lewis got two more teeth over the past two days!!! So has been a bit unsetted but not too bad considering we were in the van!! His sleeps aare getting much better down there, think the sea air helps heaps..L loved the sand and actually didn't eat it this time!! weell eater bunny went overbaoard at our house!!! Think mummy and daddy might have to help eat it when kids are in bed!!! I love easter eggs!!
Thanks for everyones' nice words.
Olive - the thing is that I don'[t know what I want to do - well I do, but it is just not possible right now. I really want to go back and do another overseas volunteer trip. I will look in to doing one as a family project, but it won't be for a few years. I jsut feel that lost - l am happy, but I just can' t shake thisfeeling that there should be more.
Pinny - sounds like you have had a good time.
Morning all,
Lilima - I can sort of understand what you mean. I hate my job (hence being on here so much when I am at work hehe) and sometimes feel like I'm in the wrong career. But I am so not in the right place in my life to change it - too many committments, too much reliance on my nice income... and for what I do, it is a good income. So it is difficult for me to change anything right now. So big hugs :hug: I can sort of get where you are coming from.
Pinny - your van spot sounds lovely!! Glad you had a good time with the extended family. I love Easter eggs too but resent spending more for the same chocolate just because it is shaped like an egg or a rabbit! So I went to Coles yesterday and bought a whole lot when they were 50% off ;) Wooo!
Olive, you poor love, you are having a rough trot at the moment with sleep and sicknesses! :hug: Get your DH into gear - why can't he look after the girls while you catch up on some sleep??? How is M going, are the ABs helping?
BB - love the new avvy hun! Very nice! Sounds like you are doing it tought with sleep and illness as well. :hug: Hope Ash settles back down into your little darling again soon. Must be hard when she is so out of sorts. I know what you mean about the interactiveness too!
Kaz - how have your nights been recently? How did CC go? Let us know!
Shell - yay on kid/partner free time in Castlemaine! My great aunt and uncle used to live up there, lovely part of the world. Bummer about your sewing class - what are you going to do??
I'm sure there was more but I can't see any further back right now...
AFU: DD has a bit of a cold so sleep has been an issue for us too. Taking ages to go down at night again and we have resorted to letting her CIO a bit :redface: I hate it, its not how I want to parent, but we are at wits end - she won't feed to sleep (never has), won't self-settle and if we try and cuddle/rock/pat, she seems to end up more awake than asleep. So we put her down, she cries for a few mins and most times goes to sleep. But I still hate it. :cry:
Mind you some nights she doesn't go to sleep and we do then have to go in and try and settle... but it takes forever and she just screams! Even when we hold her! Sigh. And then she wakes around midnight and sometimes needs a resettle and then she's awake most mornings from about 4am, she'll yell out or grizzle but I'm awake of course, most times she goes back to sleep off and on til about 6am and then its game over, she's awake and wants up.
Feel like I've got a newborn again...
Apart from the sleep issues she is a delight, most of the time. Like Ali she seems to know how to be cute and funny and she loves joining in on whatever we are doing. She's now got her own tooth brush and hairbrush so that when mummy is doing those things she can do it too. She also loves laughing with us - if we have a joke she joins in with a big "HA HA!" like she knows she should be laughing. So gorgeous.
