[Beautiful Disaster]

Thanks Mrs Edmunds lol

I must txt u top

[sconeonamission]

Still 2-3 wake ups, though the night before, each 20 min after settling one child (30min at a time), the other child would wak, and I'd have to do it all again. Still tired from that

First time camping with a baby this weekend! Excited! Hope she sleeps well enough.

Amelia has a nice big snot-going-everywhere cold I don't know how she caught it, no-one else has been sick and gone near her...

Camping sounds fun!

Another thread!

Nope!
You get the rebate regardless but have to have an CO formed signed for CCB... Or the other way round, can't remember now.
We don't have a form for Aurora as she is not yet in any care, so that means we don't get the immunization allowance, but we do if the form done, we get the allowance (which I think is nonsense really!) centerlink don't send us letters as she has never had any of the immunisations

Teni - Aurora has a cold too, she caught it from MJ though... She wasn't around anyone that was sick, someone probably breathed on her in the shops!

Ok cranky mummy moment here. Where is my sleeping baby? I dont like this one that wakes all the time I have tried everything I can think of. Is there a growth spurt about now?
I have tried feeding him more solids nope woke at 11.30
I went back to the original formula nope wakes
He is now in the habit of waking at 5-5.30. OVER IT

[Iona Macca]

Kylz, i think he maybe coming up to one, hopefully he goes back to his normal routine again soon

[Beautiful Disaster]

Me too he has been like this for 2 weeks about the time i got sick

[TeniBear]

We have toothage! Her front bottom left tooth has cut through, and the right is very close behind

Jayden got the bottom 2 a week apart I hardly noticed with the amber

[Iona Macca]

i've had a lil man that is having separation anxiety issues - I couldn't even walk out of my living room to the kitchen for 2secs before he cracked it

I remember with Luke his came a day apart (he was 5mths old) and I didn't even notice much - the only thing was he was clingy for half a day but took me a couple of days to work it out why lol

[sconeonamission]

So, is the clingy-ness teething or an age group thing? I'm not allowed out of her sight!

It's midnight and she's got a temp. Temp, not a fever, and panadol seem to have taken some of the "heat" from her head. Her body is still a bit warm. Has had a big bf and is back in her bed. So paranoid she's going to have a febrile convulsion and we're not going to know. J had one at 18 mths when his fever spiked and needed to be resuscitated.

Hoping it's just teeth....

[Sammiejane]

Oh Rhi, that must have been so scary for you
Hope little Miss goes back down and is happily sleeping... Not something I would like to have in the back of my head

Re the clingyness, pretty sure it's a stage thing, they realize the world is bigger and worry that when they can't see you your never coming back.
Miss A had it bad a few weeks ago, doing a bit better now unless she is sick or just woken up.

Kylie, no idea why J is waking, I remember MJ had been sleeping through from an early age and then stopped, it was a very rude wakening
Aurora has slept through only once or twice, so I am use to it this time around!

Yay for all the teeth!
None her, although I'm not expecting them til after Xmas... Very dribbly and everything does in her mouth (Inc MJ shoes if she can get to them )
