November 2012- Jingle Bells tantrums smell mummy needs some wine...

[Pikz]

Just to start us off..

kyz you know how I love lists... Well done on the ticking off stuff.

Hello!

Eliza you really are super mum

GG and Kyz and FT this is why I can't do pets!!

Daddy day care here today due to loose nappies. Should be interesting to see how he gets on! He's not been right for a week or so so some days at home will probably do him good

I've booked to take the girls to a frozen pop up experience at half term. God help me!

A is now 2ozs over birthweight and I don't need to get him weighed for another 2 weeks. Woop.

I'm no supermum. I bow down to those who work and have children. I don't know how you do it. You're the supermums!

evening all! Looks like a quiet day here today! Hope everyone had a good day?

bless him pikz

gg lists are awesome!

eliza bet they'll love it :) yay for baby A gaining weight :D lovely stuff!

Great news Eliza. And you do seem like super mum.

Well done on the list front Kyz, there's little more satisfying than crossing items off

Eliza you are definitely a supermum.

Had an interesting chat with F the other day. Obviously her speech is heaps better than when we had the crash, 2 months ago now. We saw an ambulance, so she pointed this out to me, and asked if any more were coming. We haven't talked about the crash for at least 6 or 7 weeks. I asled her if she remembers going in an ambulance with mummy, she said yes. At hopital they give kids a teddy bear, so then I asked her if she remembered what the kind lady gave her at hospital, and she said "yes, bear". Was the ambulance funny or scary, I said. "My scared, scary one mummy" Then we talked aboy how it was all ok in the end because everyone was better and we went home. Broke my heart though.

On a positive note, she is still asleep, 14h and counting, and I have had breakfast in peace apart from the fecking dog but that's another story

BP that is really heartbreaking but it is great that she can talk about it now. I am sure being able to communicate with you verbally and express her feelings will help her deal with any residual anxiety.

Eliza that is great about A's weight. Supermum indeed. Of course we are the SuperQuiche!

bplp I think it's a very positive thing that F has been able to talk about what happened. As heartbreaking as I imagine it was for you to hear it, it is great that she can now communicate to you how she felt and you can give her reassurance that yes although it was scary you were there looking out for her and thankfully you can say it all turned ok. well done F and well done you x

Evening all! Been busy again today so am really appreciating finally sitting down!

Bless her bp :( but as MsJ said hopefully being able to communicate better about it all now is going to help her deal with anything relating to the crash

Tomorrow some of the oldest litter of baby rats go to their new homes - will be sad to see them go, but I always am! They are going to lovely pet homes though which is always nice :)

Morning all.

Being able to talk must help her work out her feeling bp. Hard to listen to though I imagine.

Hope wee ratties enjoy their new homes kyz

I am still in bed having been struck by cluster headaches yesterday. I haven't been 100% for a while but had to go to a meeting in another town. Thankfully I has been given permission to work from home afterward as I was a mess. it feels like a burning poker stuck behind my eye whjch every so often gets jiggled. The jiggling is enough to make me make an involuntary noise and feel nauseous. All this was coupled with the shakes and weird cold flushes.

Anyway, wee p trotted off to nursery with DH so I am going to get peace to recover. DH is also heading straight off to Germany for a stag do so he won't be back until Monday. My parents are coming up though so that will be nice.

Poor Pass

Start of a long 3 days on call, and it sounds suspiciously like the exhaust is going to fall off my old banger. What timing

Poor BP and Pass.

I am going to have a massage in an hour and I can't wait. It's been a long week, lots happened and I need to wind down. O will sleep at my parents, although I will pick her up at 9 tomorrow. Weekend will be busy, I'm planning a zoo visit as well as coffee and playground dates with various people.

I was asked last week whether I regretted moving back to Hungary and I have to say that no, I have not. But it made me think when I started to feel like that and I have to say it's pretty recent. I have a good quality life here and found some awesome friends as well as family. I don't need more. Well, apart from a partner. But that will come with time too.

O is very very grumpy and irritated and I blame the last 4 of the molars. Poor kid.

Sounds wonderful lily. You deserve to feel content.

Fingers crossed your exhaust stays on bp

I have had a very long kip and lots of fluids and feel much better. And in comparison to being on call I need my big girl pants on

No big girl pants needed - cluster headaches hurt!

Am dreading leaving the echoey multi storey car park at work tonight, I sound like such a boy racer!

evening everybuddy! Think i'm coming down with something as i feel pretty rought today, and have a terrible headache. I know I shouldn't be on here but I won't be on over the weekend most likely so thought i'd nip on now :)

Thanks pass, apparently they've settled in beautiful and are a real credit to me - it was hard seeing them go, i've not had a litter of rats for such a long while that i have lost my tough layer that i used to have for when they left

oh no pass that sounds bloody awful!

eek bp my car has gone brokie too, my uncle (mechanic, handy that!) says it is to do with springs

sounds great lily bar the molars - think we're having some ishoos with those too, or i hope it's those and not just another 'phase' of awfulness!

hope everybody has a good weekend :)

Hope the headache shift quickly kyz! You have my sympathy!!

P has discovered the fact that other people have boobies rather than just me. She likes to wander around with a finger on each nipple exclaiming that she has 'tiny, tiny boobies'. When I collected her from nursery there was a bit of a to do and one of her wee chums (her best friend) came out of the changing room wearing only a nappy with all his clothes in a bag. He wasn't very happy (wanted his shoes on but not other clothes) so there was a bit of squirming and carry on. When we left p whispered "c naked! Got boobies!!"

E is obsessed with boobies at the moment. But that's probably as I've spent about 90% of my day with them out!

How can a baby sleep soundly for so long on you but the 2nd you put them down, waaaaaaaahhhh.

Eliza because of lions and tigers and bears and help me Mummy! He'll get there. Lil can actually now be put in the crib awake and she'll sook her fingers and nod off! Amazing. Jonas never did that .

Fabulous when they fall asleep themselves.

P woke in the night covered in sick poor wee thing. All whimpering and saying "I had a choke". After cleaning her and changing her bed she then wanted in with me (DH is away) so that was duly done. Within half an hour she vommed all over his side of the bed.

Other than reflux voms and a reaction to cheap ibuprofen once she has never been sick before.

Thankfully she made the rest of the night without being sick again but tell me this - in a king size bed why oh why did I still end up with three inches of space?!???!

Poor thing Pass. L has only been sick a couple of times before and caught a sickness bug recently, it really distressed him at first but we talked about it being a good thing as his tummy was getting rid of something it didn't want. He lived on toast and water for a few days and we had old towels everywhere to catch it quickly. He is making up for it now his appetite is back!

I have got some weird thing going on where my undereye is swollen and blistered. I went to the docs on Thursday and she thought I might have accidentally got some cleaning product on it. She prescribed hydrocortisone cream so I've been applying that but it's getting more swollen, this morning my eye feels slightly shut (although not really puffy like an allergy). Don't fancy hanging out all day in the minor injuries clinic but am I stupid just to leave it?

Personally, when it comes to eyes I take no chances

Went to the walk-in clinic and they took it quite seriously (always alarming) & said it was infected. Left with a prescription for ABs and a biro circle drawn on my face, got quite a few funny looks on my way out! Dr said if the swelling went beyond the biro circle I was to go to A&E. Luckily it has slightly improved I think, definitely no worse anyway.

Still none the wiser as to how it all started in the first place. Very bizarre and unpleasant.

Morning all. Snowy here and having a quiet weekend before a manic week next week - have a course starting early each morning quite a long way away and driving there should be fun at least at the beginning of the week. DH will be on morning duties with the DDs. Then I should get home in time to pick them up mid-afternoon. It's an interesting course but the weather is really stressing me out.
