Nic - arrgghhhh re the flu, not nice trying to look after a bub when you are not 100%, hope you are on the mend and recover quickly!
J - nice names in your status thingo - when is your scan booked to find out?
Amy - 3 bathrooms!! I whinge at our two, bathroom cleaning truly sucks. Arrrgghhh sleeping, we have just resigned to clo-sleeping from about 11pm-ish onwards, Bailz seems to have this wide awake moment around then and it hard to re-settle, as we are both tired it's easier to just throw him in bed with us. I find it annoying from the fact that I used to stay in Baileys room and re-settle him, but DH doesn't have the same patience in the middle of the night. I hear him muttering through the monitor which I think just winds Bailey up more and pi$$es me off so I just suggest to him now to bring Bailey in, he then cuddles up with me and we all get some sleep. Although we are not feeding or anything during the night, the unbroken sleep is tough isn't it. Bailey's sleep is average currently - perhaps its the moon if all our babies are like it?
Bridg - Hows business babe?
KL - love Kysons cleverness re fetching your phone. Bailey will respond to simple command type things now - eg "give Mummy your spoon please", "pass Mummy your truck" etc etc It freaks me out how well they understand even though their talking is so limited.
Vic - Hope you feel back to your normal self soon too. Weird how we are all going through a funny patch in one way or another, nice to know we are all here for each other though.
TM - I love Jade's Mary Jane socks, we have the skulls and the sport shoe ones with the little laces for Bailz and I love to match socks with outfits - these girls will tell you its my obsession
BG - sounds like you had a massively busy (and selfless) mothers day, good on you babe
Bella - I am with you re being so busy and trying to find time. Its a mega busy time at work for me, and I need to get my workload under control so I can make the part time and work from home thing a success when I start it mid July. Currenlty I am working 5 days a week and its bloody tough. If I ask DH to do something he has missed lately he just gets in a grump and says I am bossy. I tried to find a solution to it but he doesn't want me to tell him what do do, I am not allowed to leave a list as apparently he'll work it out eventually (very annoying when in the middle of the night I find that for the 5th night in a row he hasn't 'eventually' worked out to replace Baileys sippy cup so I can give him a quick drink of water after which he usually falls back asleep, or I go to change a nappy while getting ready for work while he lies in bed and realise he hasn't worked out to fill the nappies or wipes - I finally cracked it last night and had a go). So I find that after Bailey is in bed I potter around the house doing what needs to be done. Don't get me wrong, he does alot, but seems to think that he is the only one doing it all which is driving me crazy.
So Amy - I will join your tired and b!tchy club!
While I am on my massive vent - we went to the ILs after work on Monday to see the MIL for Mothers Day, no "Happy Mothers Day" to me, in fact they didn't even acknowledge me for about 15 mins as they were talking to Bailey - I HATE it when people talk through your baby - iykwim and so YOU answer but they dont actually acknowledge anything you say - far out!!! Then she has the rudeness to tell Bailey how I am cruel and mean as I was spoiling his attempts to play (or bang) the glass doors of their entertainment unit and because I took a bottle of alcohol off him that he picked up - what a 'effing' cruel mother I am!!!!! Soooooooooo sick of it all! I have decided that next time she talks to him about his cruel mother I am going to say politely but firmly that I would like her to support my parenting choices and could she please stop telling Bailey how mean and horrible I am or I will start to tell him how mean and horrible she is. I really dont give a rats toss any more! He is at the age where he understands soooooooooo much now and this has to stop.
Anyway, enough matyrdom from me. Apart from my whinges, all is good and will improve. I am very excited as its only 8 sleeps till this damn brace is gone and I cant wait.
