October 07 babies!

Hi ladies - DH on his way home with tea, so just a quick update.

I have spent the day in bed, feeling a lot like crap. Luckily DH had the forsight at 4am to suggest he took the day off today...its been awesome to just be able to rest and not have to Oli wrangle as well, I dont think I would have coped. Oli has a nasty cough and has been running a temperature on and off, so he obviously has something too.

Sleep wise - he is doing really well, no night bottles since last Thurs, even last night when he woke up quite distressed at 4am, he had a big drink of water, we gave him some pamol, and then he went back down until 8am! Its amazing!! Think its been more of an adjustment for mummy and daddy than it has been for him!

Righto - tea here - lovely DH!!! Be back later to catch up on posts...

 

SS, could there be another reason why you haven't been feeling well? So pleased the night sleeping is going well!

DJ, Miss A sounds too cute!!!!

Sam - here's hoping you feel better soon! Lucky that DH thought of you and helped out

Monster enjoy your movie. I found it a bit slow in the beginning, but not too bad overall.

I've had both a young man being very precious this morning, to being very grumpy and unsettled, and not wanting to sleep this afternoon - needless to say it feels like it's been a long day. ( I was up at 3:30 and 5:30 returning Blair to bed after he woke unhappy) I'm also wondering if he's coming down with a cold as he's been a bit snuffly.

SS, thats great news about Oli's sleeping! So glad it is working for you! I hope you and Oli feel better soon though regarding the illnesses!

babyg, wonderful news about your friend I am so happy for her!

Enjoy the movies kabe!

MM that sounds like a very long day esp since you are nearly due too!

Hi Nik, nice to find you on facebook!

Kabe, no my Dad is not a builder, he is a property developer so knows all the right people in all the right places! My little brother is a builder though so he is all booked in to demolish our bathroom on 3rd September and start building the new one! That happens to be the day we fly to Perth (good planning on my behalf to not be here living in our house without a bathroom)!! So when we get home it wil be like Mitre 10 Deam Bathroom, a new bathroom all finished!

I went looking at taps, vanities and baths today. Man I hate making decisions on things like this, my trouble is I like EVERYTHING

Otherwise we are all good and looking forward to catching up with a long lost friend tomorrow! My best friend from intermediate is coming over with her 2 kids! Man we will have so much to catch up on!

Yipppeee! I'm so happy for your friend BabyG

MM, hope Blair is feeling better soon.

Sam, hope you are also feeling better soon.

It's great being on FB....I don't know why it took me so long to join

Peachy, can't wait to see before and after shots of your bathroom.

Sun is shining here today too!

We had a bizarre night last night, DH went to tuck Luke in at 8.30pm and found him with a raging temp. We pamoled him, gave him a drink and took off a layer. DH repamoled at 1am and then we left him until morning. He is FINE! I don't know what was wrong, but he seems fine today - tho maybe a little clingy. So we went to music and now they are both sleeping. Very weird.

I am trying to motivate myself a bit more during the day - had a discussion with my mum about whether it could be a sign of depression that I can have whole days/weeks where I don't feel like doing anything... Or it could just be laziness... So am trying hard to keep myself busy during the day, doing jobs etc so that i can justify sitting down at times as well. (Like now!)

Thats funny Peachy and Bel I was just saying to DP last night I think Gabrielle is teething again - no temp but her whole cheek on one side was glowing red all afternoon! She seems fine, though - she was a good teether though - unlike Tane lol three months of on and off teething and no teeth!

I agree Winter sucks, and its miserable! I also hate how pasty I go in winter, makes me depressed just to see my reflection lol.

Bel sounds like a good plan - I know how hard it is to even think about getting out n about with the 2 littlies.

Yay for your friend BabyG :)

What toys are all your guys lil ones playing with? Gabrielle has never been very interested in toys, shel ikes to do what I do but I can't keep having her under my feet in the kitchen Might have to get her a toy kitchen for her bday.... I can also occupy her with play dough for a wee while... but nothing else captures her interest for long enough, not even tv darn it!

Bel thats a good idea - I might get the farm from TL and see how she likes it :) Anything 'real' is so fun for Gabz now..

I obviously spoke too soon - last night was a shocker. Oli was still not settled at 11pm when I finally got to sleep, but DH was up to him every couple of hours through the night. He has a very nasty croupy sounding cough and is generally really miserable. DH has taken him off to the zoo this afternoon - to give me some time out. My DH is being fantastic - he took today off too as he knew I was still really crook.

My SIL sent some bags down to us today (my mum brought it around), full of clothes - mainly for kindy / preschool and all bigger sizes so they will come in useful as play clothes! She has also lent us my nephews little bed, its so cute and I cant wait to set it up for Oli, although am not in any great hurry!

 

Wow, sounds like a shocking night all round...
Joy woke last night too, vomitting green stuff all over her bed. She has had a cold but I think mostly it was just a funny tummy. Poor thing but she is back to normal today.

All the kids must have been esp-ing each other to create havoc last night
