By this time next week i will have spent my first night in Hervey Bay with Z
It's exciting but scary, our flight leaves at like 6 so poor DP and A have to be up extra early for a drive to drop Z and i off at the airport, told DP he should bring A in and let her see the planes but he said he's dropping us off and going back home to bed
Does anyone elses child have an obsession with the toilet? A is insane, if ppl leave the door open she tries cleaning it with the toilet brush!
So we have lost 3 dummies to the toilet in the last 2 weeks as people just can't seem to figure out to shut the door behind them and at $13 for 2 i'm over it.
So she lost her last one yesterday, we THINK it went in the toilet although we couldn't see it, asked DP to get some on the way home from work as i was not dragging Z out in the heat just cos A was a PITA
I got A to bed WITHOUT a dummy last night, no screaming, no arguing nothing.. could help she was awake from 11:30 in the morn til 8:00pm, i just gave her a bottle and a cuddle and off she went... she has not had night time milk since just after she was 1!
Then the poor girl woke at 12:00 with a temp of 39, gave nurofen, cold water and cold face cloth and in bed with us, temp was down with nurofen but back up to 38.8 this morn and i don't know why!
She had a tiny spew before bed last night but didn't seem out of sorts, her teeth have been sore but she has NEVER had this high a temp with teething.
Sorry bout my long post.... got her watching ITNG and hopign this temp stays down and making sure she keeps down food & fluids.. seems ok so far!
Well as most of you know I'm expecting number 6, it has been a big shock and am still getting use to the idea, I have my dating scan on Thursday this week so will know when this little one is due, I'm think end of Oct again.....which means I've got three kids birthday in one month and also have a Sept and Nov birthdays.......extremely busy time of the year for use.
Julian is getting so big now and is talking and trying to have convosations with anyone that will listen, I'm still b/fing him and am tossing up wether I'm going to tandem feed or not. It's weird only having two of the boys home now that school is back and I'll be having Cody starting Prep next year so it will only be Julian and the new baby home.
Zarava yep Julian loves washing stuff in the toilet and use the dunny brush as well as putting loo paper in there as well, oh the fasination with the toilet.
Ok off to do lunch for the hungry hoards, talk later.
Zarava - Ava might have a virus. Hopefully she'll get better soon. So your trip is next weekend? So exciting. I hope you have a great time.
Amanda - Congrats again.
to everyone else. Hope everyone is OK.
I've moved M to one nap a day cos I was struggling to get her to have her second nap anyway and she talked for an hour before going to sleep at her first nap time. Now I put her in bed an hour later every day and she sleeps for usually 2 hours, sometimes less sometimes more. Then I keep her up till bed time and she goes to bed now around 7-7.30 instead of 8-9pm. It also means she's up earlier at 7.30am which works better with day care. Though she still will sometimes sleep till 8-8.30 so I can have my sleep ins.
Sometimes she is quite grumpy towards the end of the day and probably does need a quick second nap sometimes, but I can't be bothered fighting with her and she prob won't sleep anyway!
M is getting more teeth including some back teeth now. She doesn't seem too fussed by them most of the time.
I had a dream last night that there was a BB ball and you all came in gorgeous dresses and we all met each other.
im needing confirmation w the drs but we should b expecting a new member too! and yip it'd b an Oct baby by calculations. D is still bf'ing ive never thought we'd last this long tbh
we've been super busy these last weeks getting our factory ready. As you may or may not remembr DP is a panelbeater n its been his dream to own his own shop. Well here we are putting everything we have into it, breaking our accounts. Just pray everything's smooth sailing from this pt forward...
teru - Have you confirmed the pregnancy? How's the shop preparation going?
Hi to everyone else. Hope you and your LO are all well!
I'm home today from work cos poor M is very sick. She was odd for a couple of days - not eating as much, grisly and suddenly crying for no reason at times. Then yesterday she slept for three hours at nap time and woke screaming. So I went to get her and realised she was burning up, took temp and she had a fever of 39.2. She's never really had much of a fever before. This is probably the sickest she's ever been. She's so lethargic, which is so unlike her! She keeps lying down and shoving her thumb in her mouth for rests. And she wouldn't eat anything until I finally worked out she'll eat toast with butter. I took her to the doctors and he said that her throat is red raw and must be killing her. So I've been giving her panadol and ibuprofen (swapping between them), which makes her a bit happier but still not herself. Poor girl.
Last week I had a shocking two days at work. On Thursday I had to leave home at 7am and didn't get home till 8pm, doing classes in the morning and then PT interviews in the afternoon and evening. My last interview was a very rude mother, who was rude to her daughter and rude to me. So I left feeling frustrated after that and then was upset cos I didn't see Maya ALL DAY! That was tough. I saw her on Weds night and then didn't see her till Friday afternoon. And Friday was tough cos it was swim sports that got all rained out so we had to come up with new things to do that the kids all whinged about all day long. We were giving them options like watching videos and playing games but they wanted us to let them go home. gee you'd think they'd rather do work!
M seems to be adjusting to CC but now that she'll miss this week I dunno how it'll effect next week? Thurs she is still finding difficult probably cos of the long time away from CC in between, but Fridays she is doing somewhat better. But it's good to see some progress there.
Hey everyone, it has been VERY QUIET in here, hoping everyone is well.. how are all the gorgeous little ones going?
Teru - how did you go re: the PG? hows the factory setup going?
Moi - How you going hun, is M feeling better now? I would have loved to have caught up with a couple of weeks back but poor little M... we will have to organise another time soon so you can meet A & Z and i can meet your gorgeous M... she's so damn cute!
Hows work going?
AFM - we stayed at the house for 2 nights as Ava loves it so much up there, she ran feral, she's such a smart little girl now.
She sits at the table with us (on a booster seat) and drinks from a cup, she is feeding herself (although 1 spoon/fork 1 hand etc etc). She grabs my keys, says see-ya, walks to the door and points at the car, yesterday she pointed and said CAR!
I am SOOOOO proud of her, she stayed in HER ROOM at the house, on a single bed mattress on the floor. The first night she woke 3 times before coming into our bed but the next day she had her day sleep in there, no crying, straight into bed, then we stayed another night she slept from 8pm til 6:45 no cuddles or anything to go down, then she had a day sleep yesterday before we left for 3 HOURS
I thought it would take a lot longer to get her used to it.
She is so helpful with Z, when i change her she steals a wipe and wipes her stomach or her bum, kisses her, tries to help me burp her and wipes her face if she's sick, it's gorgeous!
Hope everyone else is well, can't wait to hear how clever these little ones are getting, it's gorgeous the things they do and say now isn't it.
Zarava - oh wow Ava sounds like she's doing so well! Plus Little Miss Zara too of course. And the house looks great, how long till you get in there?
Moi - how is M settling into CC now? I'm hoping she hasn't copped too many bugs Not seeing her for a whole day would have been awful
Teru - that's awesome about your news, when are you due? I hope it's all going well and hasn't treated you too badly.
AmandaJ - how is your PG going? What's your due date? Julian sounds like such a cutie. Are you planning to tandem feed?
AFM well we had our NT scan this week and it was all good - which was a relief given my age risk for downs was already 1:300. Plus we got a great piccy of bub which I didn't expect at only 12 weeks. They're trying to move my EDD earlier by 4 days, dunno if obs will agree or not - puts me due 4 days before X's b'day. I thought you were supposed to go off the earliest scan but they disagreed so we'll see. It's been a much smoother PG than X's - no spotting or bleeding or any of the other dramas at ALL which was great. Only downer was the m/s which was been much worse this time (mostly 24hr nausea with a bit of vomiting)... I've been mostly a zombie for the last 2 months. Poor X is very patient with mummy lying on the sofa most of the time and brings me books to read him and things to open. He's still not much in the way of talking, just plenty of russian babble! I think we're finally starting to get some proper words - plus everyone tells me boys are slower - so that's a relief.
and at $13 for 2 i'm over it.
.
I hope you have a great time. 
to everyone else. Hope everyone is OK.
