hello lovelies I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I am struggling to keep up lately.
I hope your all well, I have been thinking about you all.
Things are mostly good here. DD is sick with a nasty chest infection at the moment, the AB's seem to be doing the trick today though. So far L just has a runny nose so fingers crossed he fends it off with out AB's. We are driving to Sydney on Thursday, cross your fingers for me that both kids behave.
Best be off, we have had some pretty rough nights lately so I am buggered.
clare- yes i believe they do have ugg boots. have you seen the gorgeoug brown girls' boots in country road? i think they would look gorgeous on leila
well lewis' shoplifting has gone to a whole new level. today i went to the local farmers to get our fruit and veg and there was a cat lying curled up in a cardboard fruit box. well lewis decided to pick up the box and put it in the back of the car- cat and all!
Lol Ginger – what a crack up! He is such a gorgeous boy! Best of luck with the trip Oz – was wondering how you were! How are the assignments going Trill? Clare – wtg on the midwife visit – how exciting! I am thinking of going to the magnolia market this weekend – have you been? AFM – my grandfather passed away on Sunday so it has been a tough few days. We had the funeral on Monday and then everyone was at my place. I am still v upset about it all so forgive me for not writing too much. My mum, J, DH and I were with him when he died – and it was v peaceful. My SIL is also back in hospital… and will now be unable to BF my nephew due to meds.. I offered to express for them but the MACH nurse said this would not work since J is 8 months so with diff needs andbm properties. She is hoping to access the milkbank I think. Anyway as you can see I am having a buit of a rough time right now – so I will come back when my head is in a better place. Love to you all. xxx
Awwww hun I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandfather passing away. As much as you know they are in a better place now, it sure doesn't help to ease the sadness you feel. And I hope your SIL is well soon and back to feeding her little boy. The properties of the BM will be different, but surely a little bit will still be better than using formula if she cannot access the milk bank.
Assignments are going well. We are in the middle of another group one and I have had to put a fire under them because all the first responses we did were all written properly in correct academic writing and this second lot have all be sent in using dot points only! Only myself and 3 others out of the 10 did it properly and it got me really cranky because for each assignment 2 of us have to be group leaders and compile the responses into the one answer and having it done that way only makes it harder for the leaders because now they have to go and construct it all properly. We only just got a pass with 60% for the first group response task and I would like to do a hell of a lot better this time. Sorry for venting about it to you all, you probably aren't terribly interested LOL.
Big big MP. So sorry to hear your grandfather passed, it sounds like he went downhill very quickly which must have been a shock. Sending you a big bubble of love to get you through. Also sorry to hear your sis is back in hospy. If she wants to BF ask for a lactation consultant for her - it could be that they can adjust the meds or she can pump and dump until she is better and able to have another go at BFing. Also, I'm not buying the line about your EBM not being sufficient - again I think you should check with a lactation consultant - also if you contact an ABA counsellor, they have a specialist breastfeeding library so will be able to provide you with some evidence-based information about the safety etc. Hang in there sweetie.
