[emera35]

Feeling very tired today, went to babygroup this morning, and the park this afternoon, nothing dramatic, but i'm shattered, and craving donuts!

 

[emera35]

Roh is all poorly, he has a fever and is off his food and very subdued He's very snuggley though which i secretly like, is that bad? Hope you are all ok

 

[Sarahwoo]

Emera I hope Roh is feeling better soon Its not bad that you are enjoying the snuggles! We have to make them most of them when we get them!

Maybe I hope Danny has bucked his ideas up

Well I had my nails done yesterday which was so nice! I think it might become a habit This morning I had a wedding which went great, and then we went shopping. Oliver has been a bit grumpy all day, he's teething again, so I'll excuse him We went to Laura Ashley and while we were trying to choose the fabric for a new chair he was getting all excited and managed to run, trip over his own feet and bang his head on a sofa He was so upset, he get over it pretty quick but he's got a bit of a graze and a bruise It was horrible because I saw him trip and fall but he was just out of my reach so I couldn't catch him He's okay though, and we ordered a new chair So we have about 8 weeks to sort the lounge out and make room for it now

I hope everyone else is well!

 

[A3my]

I'm going to try to catch up!

emera - I'm so pleased you're getting extra help at work awww i'm so jealous you get to chat to Roh on the phone! Alex says hello into the phone but if he hears anyone talk on the phone he hates it and pushes it away. I loved your videos of Roh at the park I hope Roh is ok

maybe - do you have time to breathe? shesh thats hard work I cant believe danny did that

Mork - you must be so pissed about your icandy I have to leave Alex for work and it kills me but I have only left him once other than work and that was to go to a friends for pizza and I was home by 11. I think your feelings are 100% normal

H&F - thats fantastic that your dad is doing great hope you are enjoying married life!

modo - I'm a bit late but just wanted to say ditto what the other girls said, you are a fantastic mum. I've "parented" all my children differently when it comes to sleep. I did CC with Emily, Holly was a breeze and would just go to sleep in her cot and Alex will only feed or be cuddled to sleep which I will have to address sooner or later. There is no right or wrong, you just have to do what works for you and I think you've done great with Bobby

sarah - Alex says hello but it sounds like Hiya and he says biya instead of bye

LC - how are you feeling?

Well Alex has had tonsillitus and its been hell. He didnt sleep for 3 nights He would only doze lightly on me but I had to sit him up. Today has been the first day he hasnt had a fever. He's barely eaten for days, just drinks water and bf. I've got it too now, I feel like death. My throat feels like it has little knives in it I havent had any time off work, I feel so guilty about calling in sick. I'm meant to go in tomorrow though. I've had a rubbish shift pattern, I've only had 2 days off out of 9 and they are 13 hour shifts. Thats why I havent been on. I posted my resignation letter today though I'm hoping to start my new job in mid November so I've said I'll finish the first week in Nov to have a week or two off. I do actually really enjoy my job, especially days like yesterday when I sent three babies home. Their parents are so grateful and these are babies that were born at about 31 weeks and were new when I was new.

 

[A3my]

sarah - ouch poor Oliver Alex is due a fall/bump/bang anytime now as he has no bruises at the moment glad you enjoyed getting your nails done. Mine are appalling as I chew them

 

[emera35]

Amy hope you feel better soon. You should call in sick if you feel really ill, shouldn't you think of it like you are protecting your collegues and patients? Maybe you wouldn't feel so guilty then? Everyone at my work always comes in when they are ill, then everyone ends up having it I just try and hide away in my little basement kitchen and avoid all the sickly students Look after yourself though Must feel good knowing you won't have to do that commute much longer!

Sarah i'm jealous about the nails, sounds like a nice treat. Poor Oliver falling and banging his head. Roh has a big cut at the moment from something or other (i'm such a caring parent i can't even remember which fall did it! ) Luckily with his long hair, it covers it up!

Roh isn't having a good time sleeping bless him, he's really trying to but keeps waking up all sweaty I've taken the duvet off him now as he kept pulling it up all the time. He is in a short sleeved vest only with just a thin blanket now, his room is 18 degrees. I'm hoping he'll cool off with that Don't know how i'll sleep i'm all worried. I find temperatures really scary

 

[A3my]

thanks emera I did call in sick in the end. Awful night, felt like I had razors in my throat. Phoned them at 3am. How is Roh today? temperatures are scary I only have 8 shifts left to work ugh, I hate being ill. ALex is snoozing upstairs

 

[Mork]

Hey all, just a quickie from me as on my phone-computer is awaiting a new part now too!!! Just Wanted to say get well soon amy! Xx

 

[maybebaby3]

amy - get well soon

emera - hope roh is better soon it's normal that you enjoy more snuggles!

sarah - poor oliver with his fall

well yesterday was my friend's wedding. she asked me to play the flute at the serivce. dan and i took erin with us to the service as she wanted to see nina dressed in her bridal gown she was really well behaved especially considering we were at the church an hour before the service as i had to have a quick run through with the other musicians! then we dropped erin off with my in laws (my parents were invited to the wedding too) and my MIL decided to keep all 3 of them for the night at the last moment so i had my 1st lie in since owen was born this morning!!! the wedding reception was in a moroccan style tent in the grounds of the hotel where we had our wedding. the chairs were really badly presented though sarah! i thought of you and your gorgeous chairs and told dan about them. the chairs had bows which were all at different heights! the food was alright but the whole meal was so slow. the reception started at 7.30pm and we didnt get out of the tent til past midnight for the dancing/drinking by which time we were shattered (me from being up at 6am with owen and dan for working before the wedding) so we left, so did my parents, sister and a few of my friends as well as some other people. it was just so slow paced everyone was knackered from eating so late and in such a drawn out fashion.

 

[emera35]

Maybe - Phew the wedding sounds tiring! Hurrah for a lie in though, that sounds amazing!

Amy - poor you, glad you have the day off to take it a bit easier, hope you feel better soon

Well Roh's temperature finally came down at about 5pm, he slept fairly well considering, but i think alot of why he slept was because he was feeling so poorly it just knocked him out He spent all night just in his shortsleeved vest, and in the end i even took the blanket off and he slept just like that. He was still all hot and sweaty I barely slept at all, i spent the night on the floor by his cot, not all that comfy at 20 weeks pregnant I couldn't sleep at all in bed though i was worrying too much. Anyway, i'm just glad he's improving, and he even managed to share my soup this evening, he ate nearly a whole slice of toast dunked in the soup Hopefully i should be able to get some sleep tonight!

Can't believe its only 2 days to my scan, i'm really nervous!

 

[A3my]

aw thanks Mork - hope you've had the same warmth in the day we've had this weekend

Maybe - the wedding does sound tiring but what a treat for you to have a full nights sleep and a lie in!!! how was Owen for your MIL?

emera - poor you! At least Roh got some rest and soup's such a good poorly food. Alex is still off his food but he loves dunking so I will make him soup tomorrow. I'm so excited for you having your scan. I'm sure it will all be fine but I do rememeber that nervous feeling

We've succumbed to the cold here and Kerry has made a fire. We cant afford to have the heating on until next pay packet but we had some old wood from last year and we've got that burning. I hate being ill and cold so its nice to feel warm

 

[emera35]

Amy we can't afford the heating on either. Its not too bad here, i've gotten the extra duvet out though for when i'm on the sofa! Snuggley!

 

[A3my]

Amy we can't afford the heating on either. Its not too bad here, i've gotten the extra duvet out though for when i'm on the sofa! Snuggley!

I sooo need one of those. My girls have huge fleeces they snuggle up in but I've got a very sad old dressing gown and big granny slippers very sexy

 

[maybebaby3]

it's still not that cold here. it's 6.45am and 23 degrees out. owen slept ok last night. he whinged a few times but settled with me just saying 'sshhh'. he was up before 6.30am though and i slept really badly though so am he slept through til just after 7am for my mil on saturday night which he's never done for me!!!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Gosh Maybe you were up early! I'm glad you finally got to sleep in, about time too! The wedding sounds fun but is shame the timings didnt work out and about the chairs too . . . I always make sure I tie all the bows myself so that they look the same

Amy I hope you're feeling better soon and Alex too I'm SO glad to read that you're enjoying your work!!

Emera I hope Roh is feeling much better today, I hate temps too, very frightening Oh, and I told Steve about your friend with the original Banksy, he was very jealous and says does he want to sell it

Its been cold here too, I'm a wimp though so I've put the heating on Luckily the house is a very warm house, so at the moment just having it on for a few hours here and there is keeping it nice and cosy. I have to have it on before I have a shower so the new towel radiator goes on

I'm meeting a bride this afternoon and then I have another meeting on Friday with an Event florist who wants to use me for chair covers Busy busy busy - all good though

Oliver now knows where his hair, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, tounge, eyes, toes and fingers are I haven't really spent long teaching him body parts so I was quite suprised really. He's like a sponge at the moment, its so amazing to see how fast he learns! Its a lot of fun. Steve asked him the other day where his (as in Olivers) boobies were (as in mine lol) and he pointed at my boobs - and then Steve asked him where his titties were (Steve says it to wind me up as I hate calling them titties ) and he pointed at Steve

 

[emera35]

I think Roh has eaten the pigs out of OH's Pass the Pigs game They are really small, and he had the case, but the pigs have vanished I guess they'll just come out before long, right? He's so hazardous, this morning he already managed to find a bottle of wood glue and was sucking on the nozzle like mad! I totally freaked out until i realised the lid was on! Going to have to have a word with OH about leaving things lying around!

 

[emera35]

Steve asked him the other day where his (as in Olivers) boobies were (as in mine lol) and he pointed at my boobs - and then Steve asked him where his titties were (Steve says it to wind me up as I hate calling them titties ) and he pointed at Steve

well that serves him right!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Eek at the piggy eating!!! I'm sure they will just pass though if they are tiny

 

[maybebaby3]

i'm sure they'll pass out ok emera! just keep an eye in case he's in discomfort.

sarah at steve and the titties! owen is also in to body parts but his fave is nose and eyes. he says 'eyes' and then tries to poke your eyes out! lol!

 

[maybebaby3]

danny is working til midnight so i got the kids sorted and in bed and then put some sausages on for me. then owen woke and i had to leave them and sit with him as every time i left him he'd scream. he has a bit of a cold so i dont want him crying and upset. eventually he fell asleep and then i had blackened sausages and a bag of crisps for dinner! LOL! now i have some left over trifle in the fridge calling me.....
