Ok back.
Turkey turned out great!!!! mmmmmm! Was soo good.. with baked veges!
Mel.. haha.. would you like a thigh or one of his wings? Oh cmon ugly mug? thats a bit far from the truth woman!
Kristy.. are you able to get it at another BigW? How long does the sale go for?
Feeb.. have added you now hun. Good to see you btw! Hope the sleeping improves for you soon.
Tenny.. yeh hopefully you can get one done. If not youll just have to dress your boys up and take some pics Yeh i think ive taken that one before and gave me lots of migrains. Im gonna go back on Estelle which is a cheap version of Diane. I never had any probs with that last time i was on it. Good to hear Hayden is his old cute self. Oh i know.. i just know im not going to be like that with my kids. I'll always offering my help to them.
Thanks for the santa comments I was so pleased with it.. just that both kids are smiling was great... and well that jesse was in it! I thought this year i may have only had Keira at one stage! So its made my year!
today we are going to get Isaacs Eyes tested. we suspect he has a lazy eye, i had it and so did DH and it is hereditary.
We might have a go at our santa pics too. yesterday at rouse hill he waved to santa and was happy to say hello so i am hoping he will be ok today. we didn't get the pics yesterday as the rouse hill santa was so budget looking.
kell- i will have a look in our Big W for mum today but i was so cranky about how rude they were. whats happening on friday, I'm grounded hehe i totally blew out our budget this month. so it will have to be cheap. what about that play thing in blacktown the free one.
Feeb- good to see you again. its tough when they wont sleep much. i was just saying to DH that this is about the same time we started to have problems withIsaac sleeping.
what is your plan? i ask cause we are having problems with Caleb sleeping too, well just getting him to sleep once asleep he is fine. with isaac i think what ended up working in the end was to just let him cry for 5 mins than go back in resettle and comfort than leave again if he sries than do the same again. i remember on time it took about 4 hours of this. i just remember not picking him up too just hold hands, pat, talk too etc. hope you get more sleep soon.
Pixie- oh i love saltana cake, and i love to bake too. since i cant eat the christmas cake i might make another cake this arvo. i decided not to make our christening cake but i will make the birthday ones.
Missy- i just wanted to say your joke email's just crack me up love the christmac one.hahahaha.....
well i better run, get ready to go out have to BW my hair and look a bit better than usual just in case i have to be in the santa pics too.
yake care, and i hope all the sick bubbas are feeling better soon
xoxoxo

Kristy - who are you taking Isaac to? An optometrist or another specialist? I just ask cos I have to get DS checked out too.
Kel - yup its ok, I've made my peace with the fact that I have an ugly mug.. BUT.. at least its not as ugly as my butt... pmsl!!!!
Anyhoo..
Tenny - yup boys trash everything!!!!!! ouchie with the needle - I don't even know if they offer it to women my age yet - but I don't want it anyway!!!!
Hi Feeb - i'm glad you had a nice lunch - and that Jacob was well behaved!! Sooo much easier to have a nice time when the kids aren't cracking it.
Hellloooo to everyone else.. it has been VERY quiet in here lately...
Well DS slept through last night - woot!! Think he was up at 5.30 though - came into our room and just drank some water that we had in there - and played with his nurofen bottle.. lol... thank GOD it has a childproof lid... I think we managed to haul our butts outta bed around 6am - after DS was going "mummy... no night nights... mummy..." yup, I got the hint child - I'll remove my head from my pillow...
Miss M decided to start chatting at 3am this morning, it was quite amusing.. just started chatting, not crying or anything, or wanting anything in particular, just chat chat chat.. lol.. we live in an old house, so there was probably someone visiting her and come for a chat!!!! DH just ended up going in and putting the dummy in her mouth and she fell back to sleep - funny little thing. She woke up around 7am - and is just chilling in her chair at the moment.
I was supposed to take her to the clinic yesterday - but the clinic nurse got sick. I want to get her head checked out cos it looks a bit of a funny shape.
Anyhoo - whingy toddler pulling at me.. gotta go!!!
How r we all today?
Mel- That's good that ur DS slept through last night, but not good that he came into ur room. Jonathan is a chatter as well gotta love it though hehehe. Wat's wrong with DD head?
Kristy- I hope Isaac's eye will be ok, my neice has a lazy eyes & so does my friend. I thought Jonathan had it, cause it looked funny few months ago but he's fine. I'm Jonathan to take his photo taken with santa this sat can't wait. Have fun today sweety
Mary- Glad that Izzy is sleeping well for u
Feebs- Sorry to hear that Jacob is not sleeping well for u, hope all will be better soon sweety *HUGS*
Oh sugar I forgot to mention, this question is for any of u ladies, Wat is the best cream for ezcema? Jonathan has a little case of ezcema on his chest & little bit behind his neck. I made an app to see my doc 2m about, couldn't get in today. Any suggestions? I'm not using any soaps, for bath time i'm using QV bath oil & QV lotion. I went to the chemist & they said i'm doing the right thing. They gave me DERMEEZE to use & I have used it for one week & nothing. I know I have to give it time, i'm so inpatient.
Anastasia - don't know about the ez - hopefully SW will pop in with some advice for you on that one. Re head - dunno just shaped a bit funny so going to get it checked out. Probably nothing.
And its ok that DS came into our room - we dont' mind it as long as its not the middle of the night cos he usually pops in for a cuddle until its time to get out of bed... so we don't mind him coming in - he's not a 2am visitor.
with eczema the best thing you can do is prevent it from getting bad. This means CONSTANT moisturising. We use Dermaveen moisturising cream - you can buy it in 500ml pump packs from the chemist. Never use soap on his skin. We always bathe Alyssa in Alpha Keri oil (followed by a good slathering of dermaveen!!). We also reapply the dermaveen on her face, arms and legs usually every second nappy change. When Jonathan is old enough to start washing his own hands and such, don't give him soap to do it with. Keep a pump pack of sorbolene by the sink for him to use. It's a cleanser as well as a moisturiser. If you really think you need something that feels a little more soap-like without being quite as drying, alpha keri wash is good. It's a bit harsh to use on little baby skin eczema-ish though.
When Alyssa gets a breakout of really dry, patchy skin we use a teeny bit of dermaid (0.5%) - which is a mild steroid. It usually clears things up within a day or two. Then back onto the dermaveen cream.
We usually buy her skin creams in bulk from one of those online chemists, but you're in Melbourne so you should have the outlets reasonably close by to save on shipping. There's a massive price difference between standard chemist prices and the bulk chemists!!
Excess heat can cause the eczema to get a lot worse, and so can bad materials. It's probably important going forward if you know that he's susceptible to eczema to make sure you buy natural materials for his clothing and bedding. We use only cotton and bamboo. Polyester can cause itching and sweating, which in turn causes eczema flare ups (or makes it worse!). We don't overdress her.
For winter, humid heat is better than dry heat. If you need to run a heater in his room, try to also run a humidifier.
That should be enough to get you on the right track!!!
----
on a side note, had an awesome time in Melb at lunch with Mez and Tan - your girls are both SOOOOOOOOOO beautiful!! Shame the other Melb mums couldn't make it - not every day you manage to organise peeps from multiple interstate locations to get there for a meetup!! Would have been great to meet you all (and your lovely little babies)
Pixie and Bear - also thoroughly enjoyed meeting you both. Once again, sorry for the messy state of my house!! In "sorting through the crap and getting ready to move" mode. Beth is just adorable =)))) How is she liking that spinny thing we sent you away with? Alyssa's hair is pretty cool =) Completely uncontrollable!! I'm still amazed at her lighter coloured tips =)))
Anyways - need shower while the girl is sleeping =)
Well mum has just left and oh f@rking hallelujah!! OMG im not going to let her stay here again.. i have been in such a bad mood since shes been here. She did absolutely nothing. After you girls mensioned that maybe she didnt want to tread on toes, i thought yeh maybe youre right. But when i had 2 kids screaming at me, while running around trying to get the turkey on and do washing.. shes too interested in making herself a friggen cup of tea, and which biscuit she can eat. This morning i have run around like a mad thing, getting both kids fed and dressed, beds made, putting 2 loads of washing on and hanging it on the clothes horses cos its bloody raining, washed bottles and dishes (including her breakfast stuff she just left on the sink!), cleaned Jesse's and Keira's rooms and the kitchen.. all while she sat on her a$$ watching tv. Never once asked if i needed a hand. Ive been so cranky with Jesse this morning just cos im in such a bad modd cos of her.. poor boy. Same all happened last night with dinner. I cooked it all and she just left her plate on the sink for me to wash up. DH had a bad headache ( he has washed up every other night) so didnt want to ask him to do the washing.. so again she sat on her butt while i washed and cleaned up.. after cooking her a friggen baked dinner. She doesnt play with the kids either.. just sits on her butt sipping her bloody cups of tea. The other night she was whinging (without saying anything, you know how people walk around with elephant feet and huff and puff) cos DH and i wanted to watch Rove and she didnt get to watch whatever she wanted. Next day all i heard was how bad tv was the night before. She also said oh ill buy Keira some tops if you like.. we get to the shops and she acts as if nothing had been said and I end up buying Keira's clothes. Ehh! Im so over it i tell you! Never bloody again. Im going very close to disowning my mother!
Ok rant over.. needed to get that out..
Kristy.. oh gawd already?? didnt you just get paid? lol what did you buy woman??? Good luck with Isaac's appointment. Yeh Friday im up for anything.. just have to wait for out inspection which is somewhere between 8.30-9.30am.
Mel.. well i think youre a hot mumma so bleehh to you lol. Oh funny little thing.. oow have you heard any foot steps in that house? When we were living at IL's house when i was pregnant with Jesse.. i was drying my hair one night in the bathroom and saw someone walk past towards the last bedroom. Thought it was DH and was waiting for him to come back to ask him something. Once i finished i went and looked in the end room and he wasnt there. He was still in our room. So went in there and told him what just happened. He then informed me that when his parents bought that house he was told by friends at school that the owners were Jehovous Witnesses and their son commited suicide in that end room. HOLEY MOLEY i was scared *****less of that house from then on and every time i woke to go to the toilet at night i would wake him and he had to wait up for me to come back. OMG it freaked me out so bad!
Morning Tasia! Not too sure about the ezcema question but im sure some of the other ladies here can help you out!
Ohh i feel so much more relaxed now.. think i might go make a cuppa before i have to do some more cleaning for this inspection.
Yeh i think ive taken that one before and gave me lots of migrains. Im gonna go back on Estelle which is a cheap version of Diane. I never had any probs with that last time i was on it. Good to hear Hayden is his old cute self. Oh i know.. i just know im not going to be like that with my kids. I'll always offering my help to them.
