lise: So sorry to hear Finn isn't the best at the moment, as grub said they go through so many changes that you just don't know what it is going to be next. Even with a good baby when they have those out of the ordinary moments we are scratching our heads trying to figure out what the problem is...
Thanks for asking how I'm going....as grub has also said I'm very much over this pregnancy.... 9 1/2 weeks until my c/s date and I really don't know if I will make it that far. I measured my fundal height yesterday and it is something ridiculous like 45cm and I'm only 29 weeks today. We had a scan last week and both boys are measuring about 2 weeks bigger than our dates and both weigh just over 3lb each, so I'm basically carrying the weight of a full term baby around. I'm now struggling with sleep and trying to toddler wrangle but luckily it is a long weekend here this weekend which means a few daddy days so mummy can put her feet up. Although not today as DH is doing the garden but that's o.k as Tara has just woken from a very sound 2 hour sleep and is happily watching ABC kids at the moment. It gave me a chance to do some washing for the boys as hopefully we will be putting up one cot tonight in our room so I can get everything organised.
Anyway enough whinging from me, I hope everyone else is doing well... Oh and I know that Barney has left us but there was a BA that her daughter had her baby this week, a little boy called Cruz.
Lise, we have no family support and getting a babysitter is very rare. So we have dates at home. We put the boys to bed and then eat together and watch a movie. we just make time for us at home. It is also much cheaper then going out. But then sorry to brag we have never had a problem with our boys sleeping. From birth they both went to bed awake no later the 7pm. Campbell went into a bed at 15months and til this day he is 4y3m he has never gotten out of his bed. Even in the mornings he will wait until we get up.
But then at the moment Xavier spends his days screaming, especially when Campbell looks at him, walks past him and god forbid touch him. lol But I feel for all those who have to get up during the night. I am constantly waking becuase I am in pain so I know how you feel.
Yes, think we'll have to start small and work our way up. But we definitely need to start doing something together.
Hope everyone is enjoying a long weekend I don't even know why anyone else has it, and with not working and DH away I'd completely forgotten about it until today! Finn surpassed himself today, less than 30 mins sleep and not surprisingly, IMPOSSIBLE to get to sleep tonight. Oh well, it can only get better...
The other day Finn got his leg stuck in his cot and let out this almighty yell! Well early this morning I was fast asleep and heard another yell. I didnt think it sounded like Finn but then I heard it again so thought it must be. I jumped out of bed, ran into his room only to find his cot empty!!!! I started freaking out straight away, trying to work out how someone could take him without me hearing ( I'm a VERY light sleeper!) when I suddenly remembered I'd taken him in bed with me at the 4am feed! I ran back into my room and of course there he was fast asleep. I couldn't sleep at all, my heart was pounding a million miles an hour, so very silly of me
Hope everyone is well. Nick is home tomorrow, woo hoo!!!!!!!!!
i was going to offer you a "oh poor lise' sympathy post but I'm laughing my bottom off at that one lise!!! sounds like you need more sleep lovely. Just glad he didn't wake when you bolted from the bed.
but i can imagine your heart must have been in your throat for a few seconds til the ole brain started to, you know... work! lol.
ooh... alright then, i'll send you a virtual hug for being tired and stressed and giving yourself a mild heart attack.
It's okay grub, I'm not after sympathy, I can see the funny side which is why I posted it, thought others might be in need of a laugh too
But yes, I definitely need some more sleep. I just realized I haven't had my monthly B12 injection since January so that helps explain why I'm a bit tired and slow. At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
