4 more sleeps until Santa comes!

ohhh how exciting Christmas is in our house this year! but to be honest this year im a bit over it and ready to start the New Year!

Olivia has been unsettled the last few days, not even sleeping during the day, going to sleep in the early hours of the morning at night, so i have been surviving on not much! but all of a sudden, last night she went to sleep at 10.30pm, i didnt go to bed until later (dumbass!) thinking that she would wake again, but no, she slept until 6am! OMG BLISSSSS! she woke at 6, went down at 7, woke again at 9.30 for Plunket to come and visit and weigh her, and back asleep again at 10.30, its now 11.11am and she is still asleep! yay! It makes all the difference to my sanity, i tell you!

Ive come to the conclusion that Olivia is intolerant of Disposable nappies (weird aye!) every time i put her in one, she gets a rash, but put her in cloth and the rash goes away and stays away! Synthetic fabrics dont agree with her either, even if its a cool day she sweats so badly in them! i call Olivia my "sensitive" one as she just seems so much more vulnerable (for lack of a better word) than Kaylee ever did! She is just so damn cute though, huge smiles and goos and gaas, just lovely! She just adores Kaylee, follows her (with her eyes of course) all around the room, watches every move she does, she just loves her! Kaylee is very doting with Olivia too, finds her a dummy when she cries and loves hugging her, very nice indeed!

I have a pedicure and facial appt tomorrow, OMG i cant wait! my skin is just so crap, i cannot get it clear for the life of me, i have tried SO much and spent SO much money on it, but yet i still have blackheads and pimples and blemishes, i just hate it! i do hope though that the appt is at a quiet time and not when the neighbours trees are getting cut down (they are using our driveway, only fair since we asked them to cut the trees down! haha) the backpack on the washing line is finally gone.... only because they moved! i am pretty sure it was on the line for 3 months!

I decided at 8.30 last night that i was going to go to the Warehouse, i needed to get out of the house on my own, so i left Darryl to it and off i went, OMG it was SO busy, the whole carpark was full, i did a lot of people observing, and i come to the conclusion that there are some very weird people out there..... i cant explain too much (you never know whos reading!) but whoa.... never seen a crowd like it before!

Anyway, this is probably my last post before Christmas and New Year, So have a very Wonderful happy Christmas and a Safe and fun New Years!!

CHEERS!

Merry Christmas lovely lady, hope you and your lovley family have a wonderful break and come back nice and refreshed for 2007.

PS. If you were at Westgate, then yeah, I'm sure it was full of freaks. Been into MissQ's lately?? I haven't for a few years, but I swear I'm never going back!!!

Yay, an update! Been wondering what's been happening at your place :P

Maybe that unsettled patch was a growth spurt? They seem to do that then sleep lots again. Glad you are getting more sleep though, it's not easy running on empty.

Take care, and I'll talk to you before christmas, I am sure.

P.s. in your meme email you sent today.. you ARE strong! I know so.

Hiya Carla

I so know what you mean about the unsettled period. Caitlyn started it about 3 days ago and is still going strong.

On the nappy issue, my little sister (who is now 18 years old) was exactly the same. My mum could not use any brand of disposable nappy on her. She was stuck with cloth until she was toilet trained.

Hope you have a great Christmas and bub starts to settle (just for your sanity at least)
