Olive - glad your gastro is gone and you're feeling better! Are you going to reschedule your weekend away?
Nai - yes I know what you mean about jinxing good behaviour. It is so unpredictable ATM... We've got one molar, another on the way. Go Miss J with her running!! Oh and Isabel is in size 4 shoes!!!!
Shell - glad the christening went well! Interesting about them all being older than Em... we did DD at 6mths!
Det - I miss you! Sounds like craziness at your place ATM. Will have to catch up properly soon hun!
Lilima - how is DS?? Hope the tummy pain has settled
I'm sure there was more but I can't see back to the other thread...
AFU: I had a big argument with my sister on Thursday night.., basically centred around the fact that I was considering putting DD into child care for this Thurs (tomorrow) and next, because I think my sis is struggling to look after three kids (my niece, nephew and DD). First of all she accused me of being a selfish mother by putting myself first (as I'd said it was getting too hard for us taking DD out to her house three times a week) and I was not considering DD and what was best for her, then she said that I'm basically saying she doesn't look after DD well enough when she is at her house.
I told her thanks for supporting my parenting decisions and not judging me at all, walked off and had a good cry. We are very close so it really stung that she would judge me like that... especially when part of it was trying to be relieve some of the pressure on her. Ah well.
Turns out its probably all for nothing anyway as my fantastic in laws are coming home sooner than we'd thought (they've been interstate) and they will be able to take DD again, which is way more preferable than CC.
That was Thurs night... Fri lunch time DH and I went down to my IL's beach house with some friends (and DD of course) for the long weekend, which was sooo much hard work - just because it is my house and I have invited some friends down, does not mean I am the host and am expected to clean up after all of them... I was exhausted by Monday night after having to cook, clean, etc... they all did some of the cooking but basically DH and I had to run around after all of them as well as our DD. So tiring. My back was killing me all the way home and I was stuffed yesterday!
I spent yesterday doing washing - all the new stuff for DD's bed, so we can try and transition her out of the cot. Don't know how that is going to go... we will see! Can't believe my little baby is going to be sleeping in a big bed soon!
nai ive been thinking the same, i finally get day and night sleeps going well, then bam...crap again
i cant win, we were up from 1.15am til 4.00am with M not settling, ive stopped feeding altogether over night , so i feel your pain
what time did she go doen for a sleep?
as for shoes M is a larger foot than S, at the same age S was a 3.5 and M is a 5!!
i also got some awesome leather handmade shoes form the Healesville market, flexi sole..love them!
Didn't mean to make it so massive... just that the fight with my sis really upset me and then the weekend was exhausting and you girls will understand both!!!!
Just realised I didn't mention DD much... her sleeping is still really variable, some days/nights are great, some are absolute rubbish. I've given up.
OP sorry to hear you had a fight have you spoken since? your only looking ourt for the best interests of all involved.
id be very unhappy with your friends if i were you too! how rude of them
as for DD and big bed, get two bed rails, one larger and one smaller so it goes down the length of the bed so she cant get out! thats what we did for S when she went into a bed, though she was older at 2 yrs.
Interesting, I hadn't thought about getting a rail that goes right down the bed. We've got a mesh barrier thing that goes about half way down... will see what I can find for the length of the bed. We've got a trundle mattress for underneath so that should prevent any major injuries while she adjusts!
Thanks for understanding
Yes we've spoken, I saw her on Friday morning at our music playgroup and we just pretended everything was ok. Her DD has been sick (roseola i think) so I've just been focussing on that rather than the dreaded C word... that'd be childcare by the way!
Out there for dinner tonight so I'll see if it comes up again...
OP - You can get the two lengths of bed rails at Target. Just buy the long one, and then a shorter one, and it should fit thw whole way down.
Sorry you had a fight. I hope that you manage to sort it out with no ill feelings.
Olive - sounds like you are back having rough nights.
I have really only skimmed the posts.
Emilia is wearing James' old shoes. A tad boyish, but they are ok.
J is still not himself. He is eating much better, but is being really naughty, meaning that he is getting better, but still not that well. He always becomes MEGA naughty for about a month after major illness.
E has been waking in the night again. Generally I can ignore her and she will go back to sleep, but I think that she is a bit put out on the attention that J has been getting.
poopy forgotton what I have read. ahh I suck as a BB buddy.... Alex is in size 4 shoes. I've got him some Oshkosh rubber based ones. I know he's going to need proper shoes soon but $60 a pop.. ouchie.
Ohh OP- hugs hun- so sorry to hear about your fight with your sis- I know how close you two are! Hun just playing devils advocate but maybe she is finding harder than she thought having two kids. She is probably dead tired and feeling a bit on edge about her coping with an extra kids anyway. She is trying to look like she is doing fine, but its hard and i bet she doesnt want it to look like she is feeling it! Can you suck it up and just agree to disagree with her- her pride may not let her admit she over-reacted.
cant believe Ms is going into a bed- if you want have a contact to get matress and base at wholesale price- let me know and can give you details- they deliver too!! Miss you guys soo much too!!
4 more days of a cathether for DS1_ whoot and then hopefully no more medical stuff for a while pls!!! In at the RCH again all day next tues and that should be it for a bit!!!
Boof been all over the place-spewed on mond 3 times and once on tues- not like him at all- he has been grumpy for a couple of days as well and not sleeping - but thats nothing new for him! a lot better today so hopefully back to normal self to stay now!!
He is starting to say quite a few words now- you can actually start to understand what he is trying to say most of the time lol!
btw he is size 6 shoe- been wearing DS1 shoes since he was walking- i have soo many of them as i had a bit of a shoe fetish when i had him- so boof has boat shoes, blundstones, sandles and sneakers in every size from size 4 upwards lol - i think he has more shoes than me lol- Love blundstone boots on babes as they find it really hard to get them off lol
my nan finally came home from hossy today whoot!! and DS1 has settled into school really well - phew- just annoying to have to go up twice a day to empty his cath bag grrr
