A little Update

Thank you so much for all the nice comments I have gotten. Everything is slowly falling into place. I am getting used to being tired... Lani had her 6 month needles on Monday so has been out of whack since then. I think she is coming to terms with not seeing Luke so much, she has become such a mummy's girl!
So thing's are slowly calming down, and now that I am getting used to it all I am feeling stronger and prouder of myself everyday.
Tonight I am heading out! Mel has Lani for the night ( first time ever Lani has spent the night away from me and I am terrified )
So I will update everyone after tonight and let you all know how I am doing!
Lot's of hugs and kisses

Kalani and I

Kalani and I are very slowly adjusting to being by ourselves. The first night was very hard for the both of us. Lani didn't sleep well (either did I) and every time I picked her up I cried for her. I think I am scared for her. Scared of growing up without a Daddy with her all the time. It's been hard but I have some awesome support from family and friends. Kristy and Robbie have been fantastic! They have been with me all the time, helping me with everything. I think the strength I have is coming from everyone else as well as me. I am truly blessed with the best kinds of friends. I would like to say a massive thank you and I love you to Rob & Kristy & the boys , Carley, Mel and Tanya for always leaving comments that make me smile! James and both our family.
I have to tidy up!
Love to you all,
Hugs and kisses

Lost for words

I am lost for words. Today Luke moved out. Lani and I are on our own from now on. I am heart broken

 

exorcist style vomiting

Tonight we experienced the biggest vomiting I have ever seen!

Lisa and Steve came over for dinner and we were having a great night, Lani was really tired after her bottle so i picked her up and was just at her room when she did the biggest, yuckiest vomit ever. She got herself, me and all the tiles. Me being me went straight into panic mode. First I stripped her and put her in the tub, washed her dressed her and got the thermometer out ( This all happened just as we all sat down for dinner ). Her temp was 36.6degrees (average baby temp) and she was so happy and chatty! So after cleaning myself up I sat down to a very nice but very cold dinner. I rang Luke's Mum and spoke to her about it. She said most of her family ( Luke and herself included ) don't do well on too much milk/dairy. So that was something to think about. She has gone about the rest of the night just as usual, very happy, very chatty and very giggly. But it was still worrying me so I rang the GP access after hours centre and spoke to one of the RN's on duty. She said as there is/was temp is a great sign. We went through the rest like is there a rash etc etc. So she just talked to me and said if she does any more vomits or gets a temp to call her back. She thinks it is a one off thing. So my mind is kind of at rest now.

But I have a question for all Mum's.... I have read many many many baby book's. They all say different things. ( Lani is teething [we think as we can see them]) Some of these book's say a baby WILL NOT experience temp, vomiting, diarrhea etc and other's say they will. In your experience's what did your children go through?

Now I'm off to have a shower and grab some sleep! ( I swear I still smell like baby vomit yuck!)

I hope your all well.

Hugs and kisses to you all

Weekends

Hi everyone!
Well yet again I have had a BIG weekend!
On Friday I had James' (my little brother) graduation mass.... that's right James has officially Graduated from school. So Kristy and I went with Lani. Then Friday afternoon Erin, Brodie, Ollie, Jaida, Beth and Ken all came over for some afternoon tea and so I could spend some time with my little man before he is whisked back to Bega! ( It's not to bad this time as he will be back (and Brodie) in a month for another week). I had so much fun!
Saturday....
Luke, Lani and I headed over to Charlestown Square to meet Carley for lunch! We had a great time and Lani really enjoyed time with Auntie Carley. Then I went down to Kristy's house while the AFL grand final was on. We (Luke included) ended up staying for a very yummy roast dinner.
Sunday...
I went to Bolwarrel with Kristy, Robbie, Noah and Lani to Jo and Graham's new house. It is MASSIVE! I had a really nice time. I always feel so comfortable with them. Feel like I am just one of them! Just seeing Jo makes me feel better... She gives you great "mummy hugs" If you know the kind I'm talking about. As soon as Lani and I got home we were off to Beth and Ken's for a BBQ and to watch the NRL grand final. But we ended up only lasting for the BBQ because Lani is so grumpy with teething we came home snuggled up on the lounge and relaxed!
Hugs and kisses
