Smithy I agree with the easter, we all get new PJ's and a small egg, especially since Campbell shouldnt eat chocolate.
Well Xavier had his needles yesterday as did Campbell and I. Background for you here, Campbell has never cried having his needles he just gives the nurse dirty looks. well Xavier screamed the surgery down. I have never heard anything like it. It was a cross between a baby cry, cat scream, violent fit noise. He was quiet unsettled but then he always is. Doc also gave us a script for losec. Campbell had this when he was about 8 months old and it helped no end. So lets hope it helps Xavier as well. Didnt help last night but then he had the biggest power chuck every. (Also finding it hard to get it into him as he spits it out.) I was sitting in the nursery covered in it calling for Dh as i didnt want to stand up because it would have gone all over the carpet. But he didnt hear me so bundled it all up in my clothes and went to find him. Nice having to have a shower and one o'clock in the morning. We are starting to stretch out the feeds at night Last night it was 9pm, 12.30-1.30 (had to do it twice as I wore the first lot) and then 5.45 its just that I have to resettle him three or four times inbetween these. I am not worrying about trying to fix it at the moment as we go away in 11 days for two weeks. All those of you in Adelaide and Townsville you are about to be invaded. It is our 10th wedding aniversary and I have organised for Dh to be a Zoo keeper for the day at the Adelaide Zoo and I want to take Campbell to see the Pandas. Well this was a bit of a ramble. Have a lovely easter everyone. Chat again soon.
Just wanting to wish you all a very happy Easter as well and a special happy birthday to Jasmine for tomorrow.
I've been really busy lately and with a grumpy baby it's been tiring. We have been getting teething symptoms and Tara has also been getting a bit colicy as well with the solid foods (lots of stinky farts ) so have had to give her some colic drops as well to get things moving for her. She has also gone back to being a very chucky baby again... She still has the extra thickener in her bottles and even if I thicken up the solids we still get vomits up to 3 hours after feeding, so my washing machine has been working overtime lately with lots of changes of clothes for Tara for me and also having to change her bed linen as well. Don't know if this is because of the teething, the colic or just her being a pig and overeating but it is so yucky especially if we have to go out and both her and me end up smelling of sour milk. I can't wait until she can sit up properly as hopefully this will help to keep everything down for longer. I'm also having fights with her at the moment to have her day sleeps, as she no longer has the dummy she will only fall asleep sucking her thumb and during the day she will only do this if she is put on her side to sleep. Only problem is that once on her side (in the safe sleeper) she still manages to get onto her tummy which wakes her up again and I have to go in to her and start the whole process again. At least at night we are still o.k and by 8pm she is falling asleep on our lap if we don't put her to bed and generally don't hear anything from her until 8am the next day.
Anyway DH has today off work as a public service public holiday so 5 days at home to give me a rest, he is even going to do the full time mum thing one day while he is off to see it is not as easy as it seems. I'll have to let you all know how that one goes.
Oh smithy your new pic is adorable. DSS is 16! got us both some chocolate for easter b4 leaving for his mums, he is a good kid but DH and him need to chat. hope you enjoyed your easter shopping. I'm off when DH gets home. good work on new house too. Been a week re avitar what email should I use?
Briggsy hmmmmmmm your get together sounds so yummy. Happy B'day to your little budle of joy
Janie, DSS is great to me, very helpful and we've always got on like a house on fire, since he was 12. DH and he have been chest beeting on and off for a year now, I guess it's the roster thing I've said similar to DH but we'll see he seams to focus on what DSS has done not the reason behind it. MEN. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JAZZY
oh saph Linc had his needles today it was awful but two nurses so only one pain he loved the oral stuff though (lucky me) but he was hungrey so I guess that helped. wow what a treat for DH I hope he loves it. wonder what you'll get? what is it? copper? (I'm only at 4 here)
KellyD sorry to hear Tara's belly isn't the best and I sympothise with the washing. what drops are you using? DS seams to work best on Braurer for me.
ATM Linc had his needles and is very sooky and sleepy. So loads of cuddles and sleeps. I got a hamock on ebay WHY DIDN"T I GET THIS SOONER. Link is about 3 inches from being too big but he loves it, He hasn't slept like this during the day for weeks, he actually slept an hour before stiring then down for another 40mins. I'm hoping this might ease the horror of Mr overtired at the end of the day (yesterday only a 20min nap 3.30-8.30pm)
DH was happy Linc woke up at 5am I'm not happy cos he didn't go back to sleep till 6.30am then up at 7.30. oh well can't complain really.
wwwhhhooopppeee smithy!!! that's fantastic. And snakes aren't THAT bad! lol
kellyd - yay for dh being mum for a day! pity Ash's milk supply is attached to my chest, as i'd love a bit more of a break.
hi green. what you doing for easter? glad linc improved his day sleep.
Ash rolled over!! twice! He was supposed to be having a sleep as per the little routine he'd settled into over the past 2 or so weeks. but instead cried out a lot so i got him up and he laid on the ground and happily rolled over and played with his hands! His feeds and sleeps have been all over the shop today... he's been awake for a lot longer than usual (which is normally 90mins MAX) so maybe he's finally decided to extend his waking times.
I was getting worried as some days he'd be lucky to stay awake an hour at a time, including feeding, changing times!
i really wish they'd give us their plans a day ahead so we can plan our day too! lol.
mmm choccie choccie. i bought DH some chocs but i think he forgot to get me anything
Grub I second the day ahead schedule idea, who do we talk to about this??????? yayaya for roll over, Linc is rolling onto his side much more and yesterday was trying to sit up (crunches for babies).
Easter plans hear are RELAX sleep in (fingers crossed) and lunch with DH's parents DSS DSD and my mum on Sunday. LOADS OF CHOCOLATE THIS YEAR! now I can have caffine again. how bout you?
I agree with you about the plan but I would just like it to stay the same for more than one day at a time. we have started on the losec doesnt seem to make a difference but then we are having trouble getting it in. He either spits it out or he throws it up. Still not getting any sleep. Oh well it is very over rated.
I am on my third change of clothes for the day, Xavier is on his forth, I have changed his bed twice the washing machine has been going all day. DH has just come home from work I am going to bed.
