December 2007 Mummies

Sal my girls have late bedtimes cos of DH being a chef. They sleep until 8/8:30am (12hrs)

Thanks for the support re my Nana. She went home on Saturday. Apparently she has an inflamed bowel. Think my Uncle is moving back in with her until the end of next month just to keep an eye on her as she lives alone. Pretty scary though thinking she could've collapsed & bled to death at home alone, lucky she was out shopping with my Mum!

My toddler doesn't sleep during the day! Hasn't done for nearly a year now & yes it's hard work at times but she has quiet time on the couch watching tv ... occassionally she falls asleep

Emz I hope the next 3mths go by really quickly! If you need a coffee & break feel free to come round here for one

Well , my wee boy is now on neocate and we will hopefully see an improvement in 4-10 days. I will update more later but have sooo much to do tonight.

Good to hear that your Nana's home Kirstyn. I may take you up on the coffee at some stage, thanks

Lisha, we've had headcolds here, had them a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully we're all well atm except for the kids snotty noses.

My Dad got rushed to hospital in an ambulance today Vomitting blood, fainting and dangerously low BP (75/40 at one stage). He is now stable, but on 24 hour monitoring (ie nurse beside his bed) and they'll investigate to see if it's a ruptured ulcer or something. Pretty scary, poor man has so much going on health-wise. And I'm at about the end of my stress-capabilities with Jack!

Peanut, fx for 4 days to see a difference.

Awww Emz - that must have been scary for you!

Wow - turning one already - seems like it was only yesterday that she was born.

Happy Birthday, Madison!
Just a wee bit late, sorry!

Emz, hope your dad is ok...school holidays are nearly over.

Well, Frano slept thru the night last night. Bed at 5.45pm and woke at 5.30am. It was unreal. Neocate is obviously working for him so he has probably had the intolerance since birth.

Yay Peanut! That's awesome news! Glad it's working for him (and you).

I've lost my voice - it better be back by Tuesday or I'm screwed as that's the first day back at school for me

Dad's out of hospital - had a hernia in his oesophagus. They're treating it and he has to stay off one of his meds that caused it (prolonged use over 20+ years)

Peanut- is Mac still waking up at 5.30 am??

Better to have Mickey Mouse than The Wiggles

YAY - back to preschool today for Lucy. She has been driving me bonkers. Can't believe that she is starting school next year, and turning 5 in Dec. Where has the time gone.

And Zoe - being on 2.5 years, acts so much older. Is talking non stop and full on sentances. She has grown up way too fast

Hope that everyone has a good week

Ugh, don't know how you handle those early morning wake ups Peanut  .  I'm so not a morning person.  Not that it really matters atm with all night wakings to contend with .  Leah is pretty good, but does often need a quick resettle - usually anytime from 4am onward (and sometimes about 20 x a night ).

Thanks Peanut, that's good advice .  Do you mean Mummybecks?  Wonder which of the two sisters she's friends with?

From the stories, MIL found it rather tough initially (as you would!) but you'd never guess what she's been through - she is really strong.  I always think of her life if I'm having a bad day ... makes my troubles pale into insignificance .

Yep, Anna is his younger sister - I know his older sister Nikki.

Leah is going through that squealing stage atm .... so funny and cute!  She's decided that's how she'll tell me she wants to get up after a sleep in the cot.  I keep getting a fright - after a long period of silence this ear piercing squeal comes through on the monitor hahaha.  She's trying really hard to roll, and makes it halfway over several times - then the squeals start sounding frustrated.  Must be so annoying watching everyone else able to move around as they wish while you're stuck on your back or tummy on the floor.

Do your toddlers have a sense of humour yet?  Jimmy just loves toilet humour (guess who taught him that) and yesterday he cracked up when I accidently said "mump" instead of truck when reading him a book.  He then made me say mump instead of truck throughout the whole book and just about wet his pants.  Crazy dude  .
