Lara well done on your appointment and so glad it was a worthwhile visit, hopefully this will be the start of much happier times for you.
We have had all our babies in the basinette for as long as they fitted and the basinette stays in our room. I usually start putting them to sleep in the day in their cot from about 3 months on, but as Jessica doesn't have a room yet as Arron hasn't finished it she hasn't done that. Caddie, if you are happy with the way things are going with Millana's sleeping arrangements then she is probably happy too.
As for feeding and amounts- Jessica drinks about 150-230 mls less than the tin says, but is putting on weight and is growing so their is nothing to worry about. All babies are different as Michelle said so I'm sure shes's fine. She'll let you know when she wants more.
Michelle- bad luck with Jay's accident, just when you thought he was all trained. But don't let one little accident get you down, I know both of my older kids had the occasional accident but not many. Bugger on the crappy nights sleep though. I had Jemma screaming the first 2 nights of our holiday and in and out of our bed cause of her teeth and on the third night it was jessica waking at 4am. I'm sure the didn't get the holiday idea, cause I got less sleep in that 6 days than I normally do. Hope Jay's head recovers quickly, boys will be boys that's for sure.
I had to come back on tonight because I was so excited. jessica rolled over for the first time today, from back to tummy. She just wanted to make a liar out of me as I told the health centre sister yesterday she wasn't rolling and that the others didn't roll until 5 months so she does it today at 4 months and 1 week old or 18 and a half weeks old.
Not only did she roll over once but at least 6 times and also rolled back to her back once. Too clever! And then she did the same as Lani and actually shuffled herself forward using her arms and some legs, to try and reach a toy, don't tell me she'll be crawling soon too! Then i will be really sad.
Forgot to say hope work is going well Spiddles, I know you will be missing Liam but it makes the time you get with him even more important. I used to really make sure i spent time with the kids on the weekends and holidays as I had to work full time and I wouldn't let them stay out overnight or go away much as I wanted to be with them. Now that I have so many, I don't mind so much them going to sleep over at MIL's, but I wouldn't let Jemma and Jessica go just yet.
Arron and I celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary on the 20th of Jan and I am trying to find somewhere close to Melbourne to stay, prob is he is being really unhelpful and has also said he doesn't want to pay more than $100 for accom. Too hard! Anyone know of any really nice places close to the Casino that don't charge an arm and a leg and maybe have breakfast?
Grrr! to Target, I brought $100 worth of school uniform on Tuesday and the have a sale on uniform which starts tomorrow. I wish one of the staff had mentioned it quietly to me and I would have waited. I worked out what the stuff I brought would have cost at the sale price and the difference is $40. If it was $10 or $15 I wouldn't really worry but $40 is alot. Luckily MIL, who has more front than myers, is going to take them back and then buy them again, although I will have to get a credit note prob as I paid on my card and they won't refund cash for credit, but with 4 kids $40 goes a long way.
Anyway goodnight, I just had to tell my exciting news.
