--Lion Cubs - Mummy and Baby Group!-- We are all One Year Old!

Yeah the problem with Natashas walking is mainly slipping at the moment, I take off her socks in the evening when the house is nice and warm and she can walk the full lenght of the room, but during the day when her socks are on, she will take a good few steps but will slip with her socks, so I think I'm going to opt for the pre-walkers.

I was also looking at the shoes in the shops here and they do seem pretty hard and the girl in the shop explained that the pre-walkers are softer until they are walking well to get used to just having shoes on. She also wants to be down and holding our hands outside at the moment so at least she can wear the pre-walkers outside too as it is far too cold and wet here to go in stocking feet, although with the weather at the moment I dont think that will be happening as she would need welly boots to walk lol.

Lentils are really good for Iron too and they can be just added to potatoes and veg and they go really mushy and soft and mash in with the other

I love that kitchen Shiv it is adorable. I am really bored now too. I have been in for a week now and only gotten to the shops once and over to my mams and cabin fever is really setting in. I think Natasha is getting really bored too and is sick of looking at me lol - ah no she is just used to being over in my mams with all my brothers for the few days I am working and we are usually in around town or down at the shops with her too, where as she has been stuck in all week as well and just needs a change of scenery I think.

We are covered in snow again here, although I guess it is better than the start of the week, where we were basically snowed in but without the snow ha ha as it started 5 mins away and the rest of the county was covered but our salt air kept melting it, so at least Natasha gets to look at it out the window and she is so cute doing like a itsy bitsy spider thing with her hands and saying swish when you say what is the snow doing. She is starting to want to go out in it too, but it is so cold we can only venture out for a few minutes and because I haven't been able to get to town to get the shoes she can't get down on the ground, plus she wouldn't be steady enough yet.

The forecast is that we are to have this for another week and I think I will crack up then because DH is in work but only in the office and all my groups have been cancelled but it means no pay also - one week was fine but it will put us under pressure if it continues with Christmas coming and I really need to get out and do some Christmas shopping or it will be panic stations in the last week, We also were meant to go to a party at the weekend and have two on this saturday night as well which Id say we may skip as its not safe to travel, but I dont mind that too much if I could only get in and get the shopping done. Well that is my rant over, sorry girls ha ha

Cleck I really hope you are feeling a bit better :hugs:
 
Kim: Sorry to hear about DH grandmother - hope she gets better.

the tree is gorgeous - I think I'm going to put mine up the weekend seeing as It doesn't look like I will be going anywhere for a while ha ha.

Yay on the Christmas shopping - I so want this snow to end so I can at least finish Natasha's Santa shopping. - It think next year I'm going to do it all early so I wont get caught with snow again.

Care to say "hi" evonne1?
 
Boothh- I LOVE that picture of Jeese! I must have missed that one on your FB. His jacket, hat and mittens are adorable too. I can't believe how grown up he looks in that picture!

Hi evonne :hi: We must be an interesting bunch :thumbup:

We finally are having our first super cold days of winter. I like snow, but don't envy you girls who are stuck inside because of it. Kira needs to go outside everyday so we would be going bonkers if we were snowed in!

For those of us still looking for xmas gift ideas, I bought Kira 2 sing along cd's from her favorite tv shows. I gave one to her early and we listen to it in the car and she loves it! She's so content in the carseat now and claps her hands with the music.

Kimberly- I like your Hanukkah tree. DH is Jewish but we mostly do Christmas together. It's nice to give one gift a day.. sometimes I think opening them all up at once is overwhelming!

jelr- do you have socks with rubber grips on the bottom for Natasha? Thats great she walks the length of the room :thumbup:
 
shes been lurking ages me and cleck were talking about it a while back lol :/
 
we thought it might be waitingforbaby LOL

Okay. So here's the story of what happened today. I'll type it out once and than just copy and past into my journal later. :haha:

This morning I woke up feeling good. The day before I walked and jogged on the treadmill for 5 minutes and than moved on to the elliptical. Today I decided I would try to jog without slowing down to walk, for 10 whole minutes. Gasp! :haha: Which isn't a lot to some people, but I am SO not a runner. My chest starts burning and I get all worked up. Even my teeth hurt when running. Weird I know. Anyways, I'm at the 5 minute mark and Emma comes in and gets a bit too close to me at the side so I told her to back up because it's dangerous. She backed away and started playing with the recumbent bike that's beside my treadmill.. Well I look down to see how I"m doing and I checked how many calories I'm burning, etc. Than I hear a little squeak. I look back and theres Emma on her belly, reaching under the treadmill. I FLIP out. Rip out the safety plug and the treadmill stops. I scooped her up. At this point I thought she just pinched her fingers or something minor. She wouldn't let me look at them. So I go downstairs to run cold water on her fingers and I notice some skin hanging off. :( I think to myself okay she just scraped herself a little, no big deal right?! Wrong...She finally let me look more and I could see that she took many layers of skin off and I swear it looked like it was down to the bone in my panicked mind. I immediately start running all over. I don't know what the F!@# I'm doing and I'm just panicking. I wasn't even dressed yet so I ran upstairs, through clothes on my sweaty nasty body. Brushed my teeth as fast as possible, than ran downstairs to get on the computer to search for a hospital. What does google give me? A nice long list of VET hospitals. Are you F-ing kidding me?! So I call my amazing friend Amy and she gives me the address to the hospital she uses. Thank God. Than I realize my jeep is still in the garage. GREAT! I'm running around trying to open the garage door because we seem to have misplaced the portable opener..Where? Oh yeah, in the totaled car that my husband decided to flip a few times a week ago. :growlmad: I'm of course cursing left and right and Emma is screaming..

..We get to the hospital and thankfully Emma calmed down. Until a nurse wanted to see her hand. That was the end of the world for her. After that, anyone in scrubs that came near her made her scream bloody murder and start thrashing around. They wanted to give her motrin which was in this syringe and they tried to squirt it in her mouth. Yeah..that's not happening. She spit it out. The nurse got frustrated and made me hold her down while she pinched Emma's nose shut to try to force her to swallow. Of course Emma is flipping out more than I've ever seen her flip out before. She's still spitting it out so after about 5 minutes of struggle I ripped Emma up and told the nurse that I'm done. I was about ready to leave at this point. Obviously the baby doesn't want the nasty shit they are shoving in her mouth. I'm bawling and told the nurse holding her down is obviously not the way to do it. Emma is screaming. Finally she was like 'oh I could give her a suppository'...Are you F-ing serious?! After all that struggle you could've just given her a suppository? I wanted to punch her in the face. So she came back with the suppository and Emma made like two seconds of fuss. :roll: After that was pretty uneventful. Emma got her first ever X-rays to make sure nothing was broken. Thankfully she is fine. It is just a "friction burn". They treated it like they would any other burn with antibiotic cream and gauze to protect her. And now her hand is wrapped up like a little soft cast so she doesn't rip it off...

So that was my day of hell. Corey left 3 days ago. And this already happens. :(:cry: I feel like a completely shitty mom. I keep saying I'm sorry over and over to her. I went out and bought her an 'I'm a shitty mom' toy. It's a little kitty that she plays with every time we are in there that meows and walks around. It's for children ages 4+...:blush: I just hope she doesn't choke on a whisker or something. She keeps calling it doggie. It does look surprisingly like Roxy.

awww Cleckner- poor Emma :cry: I would have been sooo mad at that nurse for pinching her nose to get her to swallow. Arggghh! I know Kira would have reacted the same, as would most babies so you'd think they would know how to handle that situation better. Atleast its over and she has her new toy. Accidents will happen and you can't feel guilty about it :hugs: Does she have to go back to have her bandage changed?
 
Yeah I made a last minute appointment with my regular doctor for her to get checked and gauze changed tomorrow. They also gave me gauze. But as if I could do it myself. We had to have 3 people to do it the first time. I had to hold her down, and another lady had to hold her arm, while the last one did the wrapping. Umm, I'm not gonna be able to do that alone. :haha:

She has been surprisingly good about the wrap. Not really tried to rip it off yet. I get a little stab in my chest every time I see it because her blood is starting to soak through a bit. It hasn't slowed her down because she's still destroying everything and being rambunctious.
 
Kim- I love your tree!!! AHH I want a white tree. Maybe I'll sneak one in with after christmas sales. :winkwink: DH wouldn't notice right? :lol:

Boothh- Jesse is so gorgeous. He looks so grown up! I look at Emma and I think she still looks like a baby. Cause of her lack of hair I think.


Yeah evonne1 has been looking at our thread since the beginning of the lion cub group at least, I dunno about when we were all pregnant. But she's never posted on this forum so it's a bit odd. Say hi hun! We won't bite. :flower:
