SNAP ali!!!

[Snowy Love]

Welcome Suz!

I was about to kill DS1 today - we all have colds, but I'm much sicker than the kids, but I kept him home from childcare yesterday & today anyway. My tolerance is affected by the cold & he's been banging things, walking over Mr I's mat, grabbing Mr I & pulling him about (from love, but not as gentle as I'd like) & ignoring everything I've asked. He had a tantrum 'cause the mandarins weren't in the fridge. So looking forward to the next childcare day!

Mr I can now get about by rolling. I've left the room for a second and he's 1.5m to 2m from where I left him chewing on paper or DS1's cars. Gonna have to be more careful about what's on the floor.

I put both boys in the bath together for the first time today (previously DS1 has had a shower with me after dinner) & Mr I was not impressed at having to share his bath. Gave me a look to say "listen, the bath is my relaxing time, I have fun making faces with you & now you expect me to share with this loud, splashing thing!" Maybe I'm reading into it a bit - the look lasted a milisecond before the crying started.

Better go clean up before bed - i plan to be in there by 8:30!

Haha Snowy - yeah we have tantrums over random things - one here the other day about something I had absolutely no control over - the weather

Madame - ahhh croup - lovely isn't it? I remember DS had it when he was young, he was a right little miserable bugger.. steroids had him bouncing off the walls too...

Mon - congrats on the kitty's - we have a ginger cat too - he's awesome. Also have another cat too - she's just as cute

Hello to everyone else - I'm buggered. DD2 is going through a "I don't want to be put down in the arvo but I'm really tired, but I'm not going to go to sleep, so I'm just going to make you hold onto me..." stage and I'm getting pretty sick of it. Trying to make the most of it, but having her in the sling and trying to get dinner ready, plus the normal after 5pm tanties from the other two - is doing my head in.

[ubba82]

Oh no Sarah croup is awful. Please keep an extra close eye on her xx hope she gets better really soon.
Mel- your fb posts crack me up! Gotta love em though
Afm I have a headache. I think it's from being tired and not going to bed when I need to, I just have better things to do lol. I'm in bed now though on my iPhone (still so in love with it!). That reminds me, those that have iPhones, have you downloaded the app - tapatalk? It's a forum reader and makes reading bb SO easy

Hi Ladies,

Sarah: Poor Harper

Sorry guys, this is a me post.
I am having troubles with Archie... Every night (well the last 4 or 5) he had fallen asleep in the evening then after about half an hour he will wake and cry (he NEVER usually cries, just whinges) and cry and cry and cry until he eventually exhausts himself and falls asleep, only to wake soon after and repeat. He is getting teeth pain, i can see his teeth just under the surface, so i've been giving him Brauers teething and rescue remedy but why would he be doing this in the evenings and not during the day?? He has been happy as larry during the day. I am starting to dread night time

HELP ME!
xx

[tellytubby]

Oh no Sarah.. hope harper is better soon xx

Kymmy - have you tried bonjella, or some panadol? I like to avoid the panadol, but seem to be using it quite a bit lately :rollseyes: Gave Theo some after his 4 month needles, and have had to give it to him a couple of times since this ear infection. They really must be bothering him, poor little man (not to mention poor mummy, haha). I've also found that theo loved the teething rusks, must feel good on the gums! Oh also you giving him a plum to suck on - that'd feel goood too, especailly if they're cold plums. I've given theo a piece of rockmellon before to gum on, it was icy cold and he really enjoyed it. xx

Mel - tanny over the weather, hahaha! love it!

Ladies i've been absolutely DYING to get on here to play with my new membership, scope everything out but i've had my hands full with my little girl! argh!!! Then last night DH was away so i went to bed with her (she's scared of the dark, so its easiest to lie in bed with her).

Argh!! Going to look into that tap-a-talk bec, see how it is! I dont have an iphone tho, i have the lg km900f. cause dh organised it , pfft. so dirty. but 'apparently' its the same as the iphone! well we'll see MR!!!

oops dd is awake from her nap!
looks like scoping out the plat areas is put to the back burner - again!

xxxxx sxxxxxx

[madamerogers]

dr said its actually bronchiolitis. upper respitory virus. just have to ride it out i guess. shocking night last night, harper coughing for an hour sick twice at 4am. totally shattered today. nearly called ambulance but she improved. glad its not whooping cough.
hope youre all well

Poor little girl

Hi Sarah - I'm so sorry to hear Harper is so unwell, croup is awful, I had it when I was a baby, quite badly apparently and I'm still here! Wishing her a speedy recovery poor petal.

Hi Kymmy - have you tried SM33? It's tonnes better than Bonjela and is safe to use from 4 months, I asked the pharmacist, Bonjela does nothing for Amelia. Also, there's a natural teething tablet you put under their tongue, my friend uses them - can't remember the name but chemists sell them. I can find out if you like, she swears by them. I've used Panadol a few times when she's been really upset and it works a treat, don't need it every time though, the necklace and SM33 seems to be doing the trick so far.

AFM - having some good days, Amelia has been sleeping great at night and having good naps in the day but has still had a few periods of whinging etc......poor toofy pegs. It's probably all a calm before the storm but at the moment I'll take the uninterrupted nights of sleep - she hasn't even needed the dummy being put in at night. But like I said, I don't like to get too excited as when I say something it usually turns to mud. lol

Hope everyone else is well. xx

[~Stoked~]

Thanks guys...

Big for Harper and Sarah xxxx

[nattyfred]

sarah big cuddles for harper x x kymmy poor archie, violet is doing the exact same which sucks big ones too hi all this diet and exercise is also pretty tiring but im dedicated to losing some chubb. did a five kilometre walk today and got another tomorrow. laptop man is coming tomorrow yay! x x

[~Serenity~]

Awww hope Harper gets better

Well this might sound biatchy but when niesha was 5 weeks old I went to see my dad in qld and met my bros size 10 gf well anyway her dd is 7months younger than niesha and now she's huge yay cruel I know but makes me feel better lol

[Arimeh]

Also, there's a natural teething tablet you put under their tongue, my friend uses them - can't remember the name but chemists sell them.

Hyland teething tablets? Supposed to be awesome. I agree with the SM33 though

Hi everyone - Madame, I'm so sorry that Harper isn't well... its so awful when kids are sick and we feel so helpless - many many to you my friend.

Had a huge day today, hung out with another BB member and took DD1 and DD2 to kindergym (of course DD2 didn't participate!!), and then the park, and then some shopping, then playgroup, then back to my friend's house, then dashed back to our place, grabbed another bottle, met up with DH at his work to feed DD2, grabbed DS from daycare and now back home!! Such a huge day - I usually stay at home, so it was quite good for me to get out and about (even though my diet was a bit bad, and no exercise!) and good for DD1 to get out and socialise without her big brother there to help her out. She was so good all day, as was DD2.

Now we have another big day tomorrow - two BB members are coming over to visit us, so the kids will have an absolute ball playing together Lets hope for a good night's sleep for all!!!

[madamerogers]

thanks girls
harper has been asleep now since 530 which is a long time for her, especially at this crazy time of night. has fed a few times- kinda dream feeds, but is just gettin better im sure. precious little darlin, it is so hard to see your bubba so sick and that you cant do anything.

[tellytubby]

naw sarah... i hope you're right and she's on the mend. Totally agree, there is nothing worse than them suffering and there is nothing you can do sending lots of love your way x

mel - something really, extremely bright was blinding me as i looked at your message, so i had to highlight it with my mouse to read it. WOOOP!!!! hhahahaha! TTC #4!!!!!! Gee you're a bloody super mum i tell ya!!! I was trying to read your thread today, with many interuptions, and i must say i agree with most of the others - you clearly are not 'done'. I'm currently going through a similar dilema in my mind, number three, or not? thats one thing in this life that i couldn't handle if i regreted, i also don't feel 'finished' yet. xxx

mon - i read your post and i thought you were talking about the daughter, lol. And i was thinking - why is mon so happy about the poor little girl being overweight? lol!! i'm blonde some days!! Oh i love it when that happens, especially always being the chubby one at school, surrounded by stuck up, rude, girls. then i see them out and about and they aint so glam anymore! hahah! So yep, you're not the only one who thinks like that!

AFM tonight was weigh in at WW, i lost 900grams, which means i've now lost 15.4kg, and i'm now... IN MY 70's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 79.4kg. Okay.. just scraping in there, but hey!! I worked out its beed 6 years since i was in my 70's! feeling FANTASTIC! Good luck to all of those starting the 12 week challenge!!

xx

Hi Girls!

Alison - Damn, that's exactly what I'm doing with the Wii Fit, using it on a rug. Apparently there's some feet that came with the balance board that I need to put on... I'm so glad that Amelia is sleeping for you, as you say 'calm before the storm' eh?

Mel - Busy is good right? That's great you have BB members so close to you. Love your fb statuses, the footy in the potty cracked me up!

Mon - Tee hee hee about your bro's now not so skinny girlfriend. I love how we can post stuff here that we think but would never say

Telly - Not 'done' here either and will TTC no 3 when I've moved some of this chubb. Whoot for being back in the 70's! I haven't been there since I got married in 2005. Hope you get a chance to play with your new membership.

Sarah - Bronchiolitis! Oh you poor things, hope Harper gets a good night's sleep and is much better tomorrow. Hope you get some sleep too, you must be worried.

Natty - Hope they sort out your laptop and good on you for doing a 5km walk! Hugs for Violet too, is it teeth?

Kymmy - Bonjela is working for us here, plus cool wet face cloths. Hope Archie settles tonight for you. I've only given Ryan panadol once and that was after his last immunisation. I was really nervous about giving it because Craig projectile vomitted it back at me when I tried to give him some after his 4 month needles.

Snowy - Hi! Thanks for the welcome

Hope I didn't forget anyone! Hope the 12 week challengers are all going well.

AFM - Busy day today. Dentist checkup and filling, visited my neighbour and her new baby in hospital, went home to put both boys down for a nap, then back out for groceries. Lucky my Mum is visiting and spent the day with us. Both boys were really good, but Craig's day nap was a bit of a battle and Ryan is constantly soaked with drool and quite grizzley thanks to the teeth. Off to bed soon.

[tellytubby]

hey beautifuls,
had a big day too. just now gotten a chance to check my bb! and its 3:30pm let me just say... it was hard. lol

suz - hope your little man is going ok with those toothy pegs. Theo really likes to chew on a wet, cold washer too (Shayna, i've been meaning to tell you that too - Abbey's not the only one!) Aren't mums just the best?! My mum lives 10 houses up the street hahaha! And i would be a mess if she wasn't part of my life, easily my best friend! (yes, i'm a bit of a nige, lol) Still haven't had a chance to squizz through your fb profile! Will try sometime today!

sarah - how is my future DIL going? Hope today has been better for you guys, thinking of you xx

AFM took theo to the dr for a check up, his ears are back to 100%, yipee! No more nasty ear infection! Also went and did the groceries with both kids - my secret weapon is a milkshake for dd, lol! My mum bought my dd a pressie today too... a baby pandora braclet.... !!!! Omg ladies.... i didn't even know they existed - but holy cow they're beautiful!!!!!!!! Can't wait to keep buying her more charms. So far she has her name, and two fairies/princesses. super sweet. Would make an awesome 'welcome to the world' pressent too, for any of you with a girl joining the family. She said it cost $155 (but obviously you could make it cheaper, or more expensive by the number of beads).

love to all x
