just about to head to bed - not having a great day - miss muffet seems to be having bad teeth issues. BAD today - going from happy smiley girl one minute, to screaming, trying to rip mummy's skin off so i can get closer the next. very draining. don't want to go to bed - dont want her to wake up and want me again. i'm emotionally drained. she hasn't wanted to sleep has just gone from wanting me to wanting to be as far from me as possible - without actually letting go! sigh! been a bad arvo!
so far she has been pretty good - is eating lunch now - it was later in the arvo that things went pear shaped yesterday so i'm waiting patiently to see what happens...
I think we have hit wonder week status here.... day naps going pear shaped is always a bit of a sign..... but seems pretty tame so far **knocks on wood**
Jacinta: Congratulations, sweety! All the best for a wonderful 9 months!
BG: Hope little E has been more settled.
Nay: Congrats to your friend - lovely big bubba. And congrats to you on the RAK - I think that's lovely. Hope Bailey doesn't get to unsettled with the WW.
Bridg: Hope you coped ok with the moving. I hate moving - us or other people, LOL.
Cathy: Hey look - you've been RAK'd too!!
I think the books used to be different colours in different areas? Both my girls have blue books, but they are a different style now. I must get Phoebe weighed and measured but so far all her life she has been on the 50th for weight and height and bigger for head. Cara is a big girl, but I think they all tend to look very similar by toddling age.
Krystie: YAY for Kyson walking!! That's awesome. What a clever little man!
We have orientation for Phoebe tomorrow. I will take in all her enrollment forms and we'll have a play in the creche room so she can get a bit of a feel for the place. Then she'll have her first day on Friday. I'm going to ask my folks to pick her up early so it's just a short one for her.
We're having lots of rain here atm, which is lovely for the earth but it's driving Natty a bit stir crazy. We might have to brave the shops or something this afternoon because I think otherwise I'm going to have to lock myself in my room to escape my children.
Hope you guys are all having a good weekend.
Oh wow congrats Jacinta on a BFP...here is hoping for a pink bundle of love
Amy good luck for Phoebe orientation tomorrow!!
Well tomorrow is Aaron's CT scan I have tried not to think about it too much but then all these crazy thoughts keep coming into my head.
Anyway once it's done it done and we will know what the plan will be.
congrats J
Amy - good luck with the orientation and first day of day care this week
Nicole - thinking of you tomorrow - hope you get some news on the results sooner rather than later (and that its better news than you fear it will be!)
E is having an ok day today - hoping she keeps it up tomorrow. 2.5hour trip to the funeral, leaving when she'd normally still be sleeping, possibly overwhelmed by a lot of extended family that have yet to meet her... and DH still doesn't know if he's working or not so no idea if i'm going just with my folks or whether he is coming too. my cousin was absolutely adamant that he doesnt' want people taking time off work to say goodbye (they'd tried for sat funeral but couldn't) so i won't allow DH to miss work. just need to know if it's going to rain more and rain him off - or clear up. sigh - i just don't know! not coping real well with it - i need him there for me, but i understand that he needs to work while work is available
Congrats J on your pregnancy! Who's next? It's certainly not me!!
haha
All the best for tomorrow Nicole. Will be thinking of you.
Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines day. We forgot until after lunch, and , well just way too busy with life in general. LOL. I prefer Mothers day anyway
Well my plan would be Winter 2012 (am convinced winter babies are best) so I doubt I would be next although somtimes things don't go to plan I suppose.
We didn't do anything really for Valentines day, DH got me some Lindt Chilli Chocolate but I was desparate for chocolate on Friday night (after depressing conversation with work, not sure what is going to happen there) - so he let me have it early. He got a card CJ and I had made including a cherry juice hand print from her and a cherry juice lip print from me! I also got a bit of a lie in and poached eggs on toast for brekky and curry for lunch but that is not really unusual for a Sunday. We aren't really into any occasions particularly, in fact I have been feeling guilty after hearing the chatter on here and IRL because are not really planning anything for CJ's first birthday - we will be in Sydney for a wedding reception that weekend so figured that would do.
Nicky - Well this year will be my first mothers day so maybe I will get into that, maybe I should tell CJ because I am English living in Australia I need to celebrate both Mother's days (March 14th this year in UK)
Nicole - Fingers crossed for tomorrow for you. We are looking forward to the NRL starting up soon (although the Indigenous match wasn't on TV here). The AFL and the NRL starting up makes me look forward to Winter.
BG - Hope all goes well tomorrow, and you had a nice day in the garden with DH and E
Amy - Hope Phoebe is all orientated by tomorrow arvo. We had a bit of rain here on Thur/Fri and I was hoping would freshen things up a bit but still felt pretty sticky to me yesterday
Bridg - I think moving someone else is easier than moving yourself but packing and unpacking are still about my least favourite thing in the world. If we can ever get ourselves out of this 2 bed the next place we live in will be it - we have hardly any stuff as moved around so much haven't accumulated it but still I hate it - in fact I was pregnant last time we moved so didn't have to do so much - fingers crossed I can time it like that again
Naomi - Hows Bailey's WW going? Love the new photos you have put up of him - the ones with the tissues are especially cute
Krystie - Well done to Kyson - you said you walked early didn't you?
Cathy - CJ's is 47cm too but she is a fair bit smaller than Cara about 71 and 9kg but her head does look in proportion to her body - she has a very big rib cage like her dad - they commented on it when she was born. Her head was big but not that huge when born but was all squashed and long (even though she was c-section in the end) so I think is just it rounding out!
Vic - totally agreed, I would love to have another winter baby, so much easier to keep them warm than cool in this climate, I hope to join you in 2012 - wouldn't it be hilarious to end up as belly buddies again We took Bailey out for a picnic dinner late this arvo/evening and I was inspired seeing CJ's pics enjoying the playground and we found Bailey loves slippery dips, climbing tunnels and swings (was laughing his head off on the swing, very cute). I say go with both Mothers Days, you have to be true to your heritage after all!! LOL I was lucky enough to enjoy my first Mothers Day last year due to Bailey's early arrival and it was lovely
Krystie - I would have cried too, thats so awesome re Kyson's walking, he certainly is following in his Mummy's footsteps (literally it seems). One of my GF was asking about your nappy covers so I have sent her all the website info, hope you get a sale out of it. They want a spunky cover for the first birthday cake slam shot LOL
Nicky - hope you knocked on wood when you said the next one wouldn't be you LOL
Nicole - I will be thinking of you guys tomorrow and hoping that all goes well and you get some good news. I know I struggled with Baileys hip dysplasia stuff at first and one of the reasons was I thought the universe was being way too cruel, after all the infertility and IVF stuff I just thought we deserved a break and some good news. I think you guys need a frigin break too - sheesh!! It's not fair, you should just be able to ENJOY your little boy without all this worry! I have EVERYTHING crossed!
Amy - hope Phoebe's adventures at child care go smoothly this week for you, and I hope the job is going well too. Has the rain settled there or did Natty drive you bonkers? hehehehe Hope you are well!
BG - I hope tomorrow is a fitting send off and a not too stressful for you. I can understand that you would prefer DH to be their for moral and emotional support, but know that we will all be thinking of you mate
J - I bet you are still on cloud 9! My little brother and I are only 18 months apart in age and have a wonderful relationship, as no doubt Jamie and his little brother or sister will, as they will have lots of fun growing up so close in age. Congrats again!
Cathy - Love Cara's photo's discovering her shadow, soooo cute. Bailey is IN LOVE with his own reflection and loves to play in the mirror. I am not sure if he realises its him, I think he thinks its another baby. Someone told me to put a sticker on their forehead and see if they reach for their owon or their reflections head - was it one of you girls? I must try it LOL! Congrats on your RAK, you deserve it, - now that you are platinum you will have to organise a hot spunky avatar like the rest of us - Hooray!!
As I mentioned we went down to Semaphore (a beach) this arvo and had fish and chips and a play and a stroll along the beachfront, a lovely relaxing and even romantic end to a pretty lazy sunday. We dont do valentines gifts now that we are an old married couple LOL, but it was nice to have a family day!
Oh Naomi - I've already had 2 pregnancy scares, so it wouldn't surprise me at all........
I can't wait to hear about all the round 2 (and possibly 3+ ) babies coming along. It will make me feel like an aunty, seeming as none of my sisters or SIL's will get a move on!
Thanks ladies for all your well wishes....I am not one for but tonight I would give up ANYTHING for a good result from the CT scan.
Naomi, yes with all the IVF BS you would think we would be given a break to just enjoy these little ones...but like me I am sure you wouldn't want to be without these little men even with the issues we are dealt.
BTW congrats on the RAK!! Well done
Vic, DH was super happy last night with the footy on....smiles from ear to ear dreaming that Aaron would play for the Dragons one day.....my answer to that is NOT
Jacinta - Congratulations sweetheart! Jamie is going to make such a cute big brother. I can't wait to be pregnant again. I actually miss that big fat baby belly!
Amy - I hope Phoebe has a great time at the creche tomorrow. I did work experience in a child care centre in year 9 or 10, and I remember that generally all the kids had a good time. I can only remember one incidence of crying and it was when one kid accidentally fell on another, oops! Good idea to start off with a short day though.
Nicole - Best of luck at the ct scan tomorrow. Will you be getting results straight away? I hope so, because I know the wait must be terrible! My thoughts will be with you xoxox
BG - I'm glad that E had a better day today. It's just horrible when they are fussy and don't seem to know what they want. I hate it when Kyson is upset and wants to be held, but when he's in my arms he's crying and bending his body like he's trying to get down, but if I put him down it's like the world is coming to an end! My thoughts will be with you too tomorrow. Fingers crossed that E realises that she's up early and decides to go back to sleep on the car trip. Can you maybe pop her into her travelling clothes tonight if you do a nappy change, and then just give her a quick feed and into the car in the morning? Maybe she won't fully wake up that way? Hmmmm, even as I wrote that I have come to the conclusion that if I tried that with Kyson it probably wouldn't work...
Nicky - I saw on fb that you are super tired. Are those kiddies of yours still causing some nighttime grief? I've only just got Kyson to sleep properly tonight. Well, he's been put to be 3 times, but woken up very distraught (I hate teething), so I gave him some more bonjela and some panadol and he seems ok now. I'm sure he'll still wake for his 11pm feed though even though he got an extra feed after his bedtime tonight!
Vic - I think the first birthday is more for the parents benefit than the baby's, lol! Having said that though, I'm still planning on throwing me, oops, I mean Kyson, a first birthday party, hehe.
And yup, apparently I walked at 8 1/2 months, so Kyson has missed out on beating me
Nay - Lol @ first birthday cake slam shot! I'm soooo planning on letting Kyson just go wild with his cake. Hmmm, I wonder if I should have it made with a little less suger then...
Thanks heaps for the promotional work you are doing for me
Ooooh, did you end up passing on your rak? Is it just a coincidence that Cathy now got rak'd, hehe. Oh wait, shhh, it's anonymous Hmmm, have you noticed that it sounds rather rude?
Hi to everyone else!
I might try to do another post in a sec if Kyson doesn't wake up...
