sleeping

This is were Teddy slept last night, and he was such a good boy. He has spent time in this over the last two days, only during the day the big blanket isnt on. He didnt like it too much at first but when he cried Molly would go over and lick him through the grate. then if that didnt work she would bark once and hed stop. So last night the big heavy blanket was placed over it so that the wind would be shut out and he was put in with his bed, food water and toys. I only heard him bark once and that was around the 2am mark. then Molly did her mama bark and all was quiet again till morning.
A much better arangement me thinks.
He was supposed to be put in the night before but hubby stayed up to watch the Brownlow, a medal night for our AFL footy.
He then was supposed to put Teddy in after that. Well he just couldnt do it, hes such a softy so he slept with him.
But as Teddy has adapted so well it was all worry for nought.
I hope your all sleeping well

I survived!

I have survived my first night with my new baby. He only woke up the once to go out and do his business. But unfortunately he then decided it was time to play.
He was awake for about 45 minutes and he would not take no for an answer. He has worked out that if he barks he is soooo cute that he gets picked up. We had to put a stop to that! Hubby heard the barking but was able to sleep through the most of it. I was on the couch, with Teddy in his bed on the floor next to me. I got him to sleep by having my hand on him. Then once asleep I could go to sleep, easy really.
OMG what have I done!!

Meet Teddy

A few more pearls

1) if one is prone to coughing fits, one must make sure bladder is always empty.
2) never go shopping to aldi on a thursday morning. Bad move, very bad.
3) no matter how sick you are, if your child is sick you will get up make chicken soup, grab some cough lollies and medication and drive all the way to their house to look afterthem.
Its what we mothers do!

Things I have learnt

1) If I feel well, I really am not well. I cannot get up go like a wirlwind and expect not to crash the next day. I am not wonder woman.
2)Everything that needs doing will wait for me. Apparently I am the only one that sees all the little things, and not so little, that need doing. Seems like Im the only one that cares if we live in a clean house or not.
3)Augmentin Tablets wreak havic with your digestive system. Enough said!
4)Its been proven beyond all reasonable, and not so reasonable, doubt. Melbournes weather is VERY changeable.
5) everyone will stand in the kitchen and tell you that we are all out of something but no one else is capable of going shopping to replace it.
Im sure I will have more pearls of wisdom for you in the coming days.

crazy weather

Yesterday the weather was wonderful. A very nice 29 degrees celcius. But in the afternoon the wind picked up and by the night it was blowing a gale. I was worried as last year we had huge winds that knocked off all my blossoms which affected the amount of fruit we harvested from our trees.
Then the thunder and lightening started and torrential rain. But this morning even though its colder, only about 15 degrees celcius, it doesnt look like much damage was done. lets hope the bees get the job done before anymore wild weather hits us.
It is much colder today, and because of the temp drop the coughing has started again. Last night I thought I was going to throw up because I was coughing so much.
I have more anti biotics, penicillian this time, so hopefully this will clear the lungs. results of blood test suggest that my liver and kidney functions are down.
I wonder what that means.
Oh well as long as I have the energy to do one or two jobs a day I am happy.
I hope the weather is being kind to you.
