			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I have been in and out of minti for a while since my laptop crashed well I have some good news my laptop is working again. So I will be around a bit more again.</p>
<p>The boys are growing up so fast, I can barely keep up with them anymore, taylor is over 6 months old and nearly crawling and has his 1st tooth, he also can nearly sit up by himself. He also hates lying down anymore whenever we go out he has to be sitting up or I cop hell. </p>
<p>Damian is also growing up, he has started talking really well but he can barely hear atm so has to go see specialist in a few weeks about getting grommets in, these will help open up his ears hopefully. We are also going through the &quot;No&quot; stage. this is fustrating for me as he says no to everything.</p>
<p>We have all been sick alot as well. But things are finally looking up for us hopefully soon we will be outta debt and able to save up for our own house.</p><p>Cheers Queenie</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well as many of you know I have been absent from minti for a while, so thought I would come and update you all on what's been happening. </p>
<p>Well lately we all keep getting sick, the latest is bronchitis for myself, my OH, and Taylor. Damian has got a major ear infection. So we are all on antibiotics, unfortunately my OH has to work otherwise he will get fired. Damian has started Daycare again hence how we all got sick he brought it home from daycare.</p>
<p>I am getting a bit of help with my depression, I have counselling 1 day a week. Finances arent that good but I am trying to get on top of the bills. </p>
<p>Taylor has stopped gaining weight so he is now under weight so I have had to put him on formula to help gain some weight. I feed him bottles during the day and breast at night. Damian still wont eat anything but bread. This is getting really tiring and stressing me out because he eats when we go out he will eat at Daycare he will eat at his Nana's and Grandad's but he will not eat at home. </p>
<p>Damian's behaviour is getting worse, and it is still only towards me, he will hit kick and punch me no matter what I do if he doesnt get his own way (which is quite often atm).</p>
<p>Cheers Queenie</p>

Taylor sleeps anywhere from 6 - 8 hours a night, Damian has problems understanding that Taylor isn't old or big enough to play with him yet. I think his confusion comes from everyone saying that Taylor is such a big boy. </p>
<p>I went to the dr the other day, and well i am on Anti-Depressants, Anti-Inflamatories and Domperidone, the 1st one is for PND the 2nd one is for my fingers (yes they still are sore) and the last is to help increase my lactation. Taylor unfortunately has been losing weight but the nurses think its my lactation despite getting anywhere from 50ml's to 150ml's after a feed.</p>
<p>I had my sister come visit me the other day as well, and omg my niece has grown, and both Damian and my niece loved playing with each other, runnning up and down the hallway screaming laughing and sharing toys.</p>
<p>Cheers Queenie</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well thursday, i got up and got ready to take the boys to playgroup. That was alright then got on the bus everything was alright, got to playgroup it was all good, got on the bus to the shops after playgroup and it was packed no1 offered to help me get on the bus, I had to fold down the pram and get 2 boys on the bus by myself, so did that alright, then on my way off of the bus, I put Taylor on the seat next to Damian and guess what Taylor fell off the seat and hit his head <img src="http://www.minti.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/cry_smile.gif" alt=""/>. So I rushed him down to the dr's, they then called an ambulance to take us to the hospital. We got to the hospital spent the next 1/2 hour waiting to see the dr. Then the dr had to rush off to an emergency, then my partner turned up, and took damian home. So we spent another 1/2 hour with Taylor under observation, so all in all spent 3 hours at the hospital. So got on the bus from the hospital and guess what ?? I pushed down the chair and snapped 2 fingers, thankfully they were only badly bruised.</p>
<p>Anyways Taylor, didn't even get a bruise from his fall, and my fingers are still sore, but they are getting better they aren't swollen anymore. </p>
<p>Damian was good through it all, when taylor started to cry, Damian put his favourite teddy bear in the pram to see if that would stop Taylor from crying. Then when we got to the hospital I let him play in the little play area they had and he loved it. </p>
<p>All I can say is Thank god for Babysense Australia Baby Breathing Monitor. Otherwise I sould of had to wake up everyhour for the night to make sure that he was still breathing. </p>
<p>Hope everyone else is having a good time</p>
<p>Cheers Queenie</p>

			<title>An Update on the Boys.</title>

			<description>Well, in the last week has been huge progress by both the boys, Damian has started to talk really well, he has also started feeding himself with limited mess. He loves his brother still, but have to watch them, as Damian tries to pick his brother up and give him hugs.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, in the last week has been huge progress by both the boys, Damian has started to talk really well, he has also started feeding himself with limited mess. He loves his brother still, but have to watch them, as Damian tries to pick his brother up and give him hugs.</p>
<p>Taylor has started babbling, and laughing and he also pushes himself away from me and tries to sit up by himself. Taylor also had his needles and was absolutely excellent with them no reactions whatsoever. </p>
<p>I went and did a PND risk test and apparently I am really high, so have to go see my dr. Also I am trying to organise a birthday party for Damian, as well as deal with my family do all the housework, and keep hubby happy. All of this is starting to get to me, needless to say that the housework is getting a bit neglected. I have long since given up on having a social life, it is impossible with 2 young children, my sister is coming up in a couple of weeks, that is going to be a fun visit (NOT), I am sick of my family atm, I am sick of being angry with them, but at the same time I cannot forgive them either. I am sick of everytime any of them visit we end up in a huge argument over something, my OH is sick of how they treat me everytime they visit. Ohh well we will see how this visit goes.</p>
<p>Cheers Queenie</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, Damian turned the big 2 yesterday. OMG he is growing up so fast. Well anyways we were invited to celebrater his birthday with my inlaws, ok so noone asked me I was told we were going, well this annoyed me no end, all because my other half accepted without asking me. So anyways off we go pack up the car and drive to caloundra, 2 hour drive with 2 boys, well they slept most of the way so that was good, we get there and then who have my in-laws invited?? well ppl I have met once, my SIL's In-laws, well I was really annoyed at this I thought they were celebrating my son's birthday not inviting over strangers. So by this time I was not happy. Well Damian opens up all his presents got a few dvd's, alot of books and a few balls. So then we go to the beach, guess who has to sit in the shade with Taylor?? Yep you guessed it me, noone offered to sit and talk to me, so they all go down to the beach to play and wade in the surf. Well I guess at least Damian had fun. After that we went home, 2 hour drive home Taylor slept most of the way and Damian wouldn't stop throwing his toys around the car. </p>
<p>What got me even more upset is that noone from my family bothered to call to wish Damian a Happy birthday, why does this shit still surprise me?? </p>
<p>Well Damian had a good day, I had a crap day and his dad had fun with him. </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well we went out today and as usual got on the bus. Damian was a good boy the whole way there. On the way home though, I was allowed to keep taylor in the pram so I sat at our usual seats but the pram took up 2 of the 3 seats (the seats fold up so that wheelchairs have room), so then I decided to put Damian on a double seat by himself and boy was he proud of himself, he didn't need mummy to hold him. He also really loved it. Should of seen the look of pride on his face. He hasn't stopped beaming at me since. He is growing up to be such a beatiful little boy, so full of confidence and pride. </p>
<p>My OH finally worked out why I learnt to push just about any pram 1 handed, and is amazed I get anything done at the shops, Damian loves to walk but gets into everything at the same time. Taylor still wakes up thru the night, part of being a mother. He loves to smile and have cuddles. He has also started babbling. I am still keeping insane hours, but getting use to it and I try to get some sleep while the boys do (not always possible). </p>
<p>Damian has started to think Taylor is big enough to play with, he will quite often try to get Taylor to stand up or move around. So have to keep a close eye on the boys when they are in same room as each other. Damian likes to mimic us when we do housework, I will often find him with the broom trying to sweep the floors, or go in to his room and find the vaccuum on and he is tryin to vaccuum his room. He has started to put 2 words together like Close door and Good boy. </p>
<p>Hope everyone else is having a good time</p>
<p>cheers Queenie</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, we have started toilet training Damian, no success yet but we have also put a mattress on his floor for him to go to bed on, and success on the 2nd night. My OH has a bit more respect for what I put up with everyday. I went shopping yesterday and Damian cracked it as he usually does when ppl leave him behind (I can't get him up before his dad goes to work). But it was good to get away, and be able to relax, Taylor slept most of the time. We had a lovely morning tea, A spinach and fetta Quiche, and a Iced coffee. </p>
<p>Hopefully we will get damian using the potty soon.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I decided to go out shopping with a friend today, left Damian at home with his dad. So I left with my friend and Taylor, but when I got home my OH said he did this and that, I said yep thats a normal day in my life. He now agrees with me that Damian still needs a nap during the day just so I can keep my sanity. He actually has a bit more respect for what I do everyday and I hope he will back off a bit on me keeping the house clean all day everyday. As well as keeping an eye on 2 boys. Damian decided when I left he was goign to have a tantrum for 2.5 hours straight followed by getting into everything which is just a normal day for me. </p>
<p>But I am much more relaxed having a day out and away from Damian and my OH. </p>
<p>Cheers Queenie</p>

At 930 he finally fell asleep, he didn't stir til 330 which he had moved and jammed his head right up against the bars in the cradle, so I re-centred him at 430 he woke up for a feed then went bak to sleep and it is now 630 and havent heard a peep from him. OMG it feels good to be able to relax before Damian gets up. I hope this trend continues. </p>

Well I was pleasantly surprised at the behaviour of both boys, Damian didn't have a single tantrum, he didn't like the food we ordered for him ohh well, he had my chips instead, Taylor slept thru the whole time from when we left home til after we got home. So both of us got to sit down relax and have dinner together. It might of been a bit on the costly side of things but well deserved. It was the 1st time we have tried to have dinner in a restaurant for 3 months. So it was a good night out. </p>
<p>Both me and hubby left with full tummies and satisfied with the service, Damian wasn't full but we had some dinner at home for him which he loved. </p>

At round 1030am we caught the bus to the shops and then had lunch. Then we went to meet my hubby at his work, this trip included 1 bus a train and 3/4hour walk (yes Damian walked the whole way without too much fuss), we got to his work, and I find out that what I have been pushing for, his parents wants us to do as well. Which is find a new place to rent. OMG Finally he is listening. So when I got there he showed me a house not to far from where we are living now, but its closer to the Health care centre (where Taylor has his checkups) and closer to the Train station and shops. There is a park close by as well, and most importantly a safe backyard where Damian can actually go outside and play without being in danger of falling and hitting his head on concrete from an instable retaining wall. We also be from under my parents thumb, and finally I wouldnt have to share the house with a housemate, I could breastfeed on the lounge without fearing he might come out and have a whinge because I am feeding.</p>
<p>Hope everyone else is in a good mood today</p>
<p>Cheers Queenie</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well after my last blog the phone company fixed whatever was wrong and I sorted out the bank card confusion. Then the person my bf had contacted to do the lawn came round and quoted the lawn which is between $200 and $300 for this 1st time as it is so long, but once it is done the guy is going to give us a quote for every fortnight or so, so that wont be so bad and we wont have to give up our weekends to keep it down. It will also keep my parents semi-happy that the lawn is getting done. </p>
<p>OMG things turn around fast not only will we just about be outta debt but we will keep the lawn looking semi reasonable as well, might be able to buy a swingset or something for Damian to play outside a little bit everyday. </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I got an extra bank card arrive in the mail today, I went and checked all my cards and thought this is odd these cards dont expire for a few years, so went to ring them and kept getting disconnected so I looked at my phone (don't have a house phone) Emergency calls only, so I went and asked the housemate if he was with the same mobile company and he said yes I asked if his phone said the same thing and it did, so I went looking for hubby's phone and guess what ?? It said the same thing as well. So I went to ring the phone companay and cant get thru grr I kept getting disconned. OMG so I sent them an email and the website told me they might get back to me by 30 days. OMG my credit expires within 30 days if they don't fix this within 30days I am going to be extremely unhappy and demand that they reimburse me for the credit I cannot use because of some technical difficulties they are having. </p>
<p>I really hope they get back to me today so that I can find out what is wrong and when I can expect it fixed, we cannot call anyone recieve calls or send and recieve text messages at the moment. This is really inconvenient as I need to call a friend tomorrow to let her know that she needs to pick Damian up for Playgroup this week as I need to catch up on sleep. </p>
<p>Hope everyone else's phone's are ok</p>
<p>Cheers Queenie</p>

			<title>Taylor's nearly 3 weeks old</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well it has nearly been 3 weeks since Taylor was born, he is happy and healthy little boy (well during the day). Damian absolutely loves his little brother. He does get a little bit jealous especially around feed time. </p>
<p>Our nieces 1st birthday is coming up and I am stuck as to what to buy her for her birthday, as we don't know what she has and doesn't have. </p>
<p>Hubby cracked up when I started feeding in the loungeroom due to the fact that we have a male housemate, so yesterday Taylor was screaming and I let him (housemate was in our room) hubby comes out and gives me a filthy look, so I said &quot;you don't want me feeding in front of (name here) what do you want me to do?&quot; so hubby walks into our room and says &quot;piss off while she feeds&quot;. </p>
<p>Damian is really happy and healthy as well, he loves life and all of us. </p>
<p>I am annoyed at the mowing company, I rang them up to get a quote done on thursday and I got a call back on sat morning and he said he would come round on sunday afternoon and come sunday afternoon he is a no show. I also got up early on sunday to watch a video before we took the movies back and I couldn't watch it as the housemate wouldn't shut up thru the whole thing and when he was quiet I had to go feed Taylor away from the TV. </p>
<p>Hope everyone else is doing ok</p>
<p>Cheers Queenie</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well we have had the Child Health Nurse coming out to do checks on the boys, Taylor is healthy and happy. Damian is also very healthy and happy, but she has referred Damian to a speech therapist and a Fussy eaters program to try and get him talking alot more and Eating more of what we eat. Taylor is now awake throughout the day and sleeps more at night. </p>
<p>Damian has started waking up at round 930pm and screaming for a few hours, it gets on my nerves. </p>
<p>I recieved an E-mail from my parents telling me they are coming up but don't know when or how long they will be here, I am so sick of my family right now. They only come up when they need to, they never come up just for a visit. They haven't shown much interest in seeing Damian except flying him down there for a week or so, even though he doesn't really know who they are. </p>
<p>Hope everyone else and kids are going well</p>
<p>Cheers Queenie</p>

			<title>Taylor's Checkup went well</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well Taylor had his 1 week checkup today, everything is well with him. His belly button is slightly infected, but a bit of methylated spirits(sp?) rubbed on it will clear it up. Other than that he is healthy and happy little baby boy. He surprised the dr. by focusing on me when I put him in the pram and the fact that he has excellent head control. </p>
<p>He has to go back in 3 weeks for another checkup. The dr. is also surprised I am back into pre-pregnancy clothes already, but looks like I am going to have to go bra shopping soon. It seems I have gone up 2 sizes and cups since getting pregnant. </p>
<p>Cheers Queenie </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well the 1st cpl of nights at home Taylor was up every hour for a feed, the next few nights he was up every 2 hours, then last night he only woke up for 3 feeds. Finally we all got a decent nights sleep and I woke up at 6am, and I feel really well rested. We are going to go to the dr's for a checkup today, Damian is staying home with Dad. Damian is a bit jealous of Taylor, whenever I am trying to feed Taylor Damian suddenly wants all my attention but at any other time he refuses to come anywhere near me. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well yesterday I took Taylor and Damian out and had a great fun, we just went to the local shops to show off Taylor. Damian doesn't like going on the busses with Taylor tho it is 1 tantrum after the other. Anyways we went out again today, to look at booster seats for Damian and we need to wait til he gains 1kg, ohh well it looks like I will still be catching buses alot by myself with Taylor and Damian. </p>
<p>Taylor is a real night owl atm, he loves his night feeds and wakes the whole house when he is hungry, poor Damian isnt sleeping well due to the fact that Taylor is up every hour most nights wanting a feed. </p>]]></content:encoded>
