Sarah My mum made curtains for me and it looks like she used twice the window width. I bought tab tops for the nursery and they are 110cm wide each and it says fits window 180cm wide. Another set I recently had up on a 150cm window were 103cm wide each - so 206cm for 150cm. I'd get the twice length you want in at least 90cm wide material if you are gathering the curtains. Ready mades are usually 213cm drops for full length plus allow for hems - so probably 2.5m length = 5mtrs of material, don't know with window length - but the last lot I had were at least 125cm drops - I'd get at least 3m if you are going for window length.
MOJ Sorry to say I don't think you can make them sleep through, every baby is different.
Sharon Greer had similar rosy cheeks, complaining, slept through night ok and it appears that it is sinus related redness for us - maybe Oliver is getting a cold.
Will try to come back later, but today is my busy day and I want to make biscuits for DS's Birthday party - got templates to make them in superhero shapes.
sarah sorry I don't know anything about curtains, let alone sewing, I couldn't sew to save my life mum to Jack there are still quite a few bubs in the same age group (and older) who don't sleep through, unfortunately those of us that have babies that do are very lucky, I hope things change for you soon though. BabyWrangler Oliver had 1 night where he was extremely grizzly, and woke every hour from about 1am until I finally got up at 5.30am alittlegrubi I suppose Oliver could be getting a cold, the rosie cheeks come and go. Hope you didn't get stressed today hun, the superheros biscuits sound great, I really don't like cooking/baking but that is mainly because I hate having to clean up the huge mess I make afterwards.
Oliver is sooooo close to rolling from his back onto his tummy, also when he is put down on his mat, I can go off to the kitchen, toilet or whatever and when I come back a few minutes later he has turned himself around 180 degrees or more.
Has everyone else been having problems logging in today, well, I could log in, just couldn't go anywhere on the site, it kept crashing, was driving me nuts! I was in an unusually good mood yesterday, don't know why as I had a confrontation with a friend (very long story) and I really thought I would have felt crap afterwards but I didn't, DH even went so far as to ask me if I had doubled up on my happy pills cheeky bugger!
Hi all,
Just popping in to say we are off for a weigh in and vaccs today....gonna be a long and probably crabby day for BJ...but he's been so perfect of late, Im not too concerned!!!
Will try and pop in for personals later!!
Very excited here today ... DH put Liam down in his cot last night *awake* and then left him... 10 mins later he had put himself to sleep! He did it again this morning (at 5 am) and it worked again! I'm trying now and we'll see what happens... He's never done this before. Remember - Liam can't hold his own dummy in so that means he's been getting to sleep without the dummy and just by sucking his own hand! Clever little boy!
Also, it's mummy's group today so I'm really looking forward to that!
Must go & check how he's doing (he's awfully quiet)...
Nettie wooohooo! I hope Liam keeps being a little self settler!
Bj still has his dummy (but once he has it we can leave him to go to sleep by himself) but today while we were in the cattle call waiting to be jabbed, he was actually sucking his thumb, so we'll see where that goes!
He was a little star at vaccs...took the oral one really well, then had jab number one...no response...jab number 2, one grizzly yell that lasted less than 5 seconds and that was it (apparently the second one stings, hence an actual response from him), then he sang his sleepy some on the way home, had 100ml of bottle, and went to bed!
Sharon I hear you on the cleaning up after cooking...I LOVE cooking, but sheesh the mess...thank god for the dishwasher is all I can say!
Sharon My day didn't go as planned. I didn't get to the biscuits today. Good to hear you had a good day maybe dealing with some negative emotion in that confrontation was good for you.
My day:
Spent the morning booking a doctor's appointment, buying cake decorating bits - wasting money as I couldn't work them out when it came to using them. Settling Greer, baking cake - growling at internet for not working, going to doctor's appointment only to be told that Greer is fighting off her cold well and I don't need to do anything, but if she is still congested on Monday not to have her immunised. Bought an Ironman edible cake topper for an icecream cake for the birthday party, made Villain Skittles, wrapped a pass-the-parcel, made stickers for drink like HULK GAMMA JUICE, SPIDEY SODA, CLOBBERING TIME CORDIAL, went to my dental review and now I have to make that 45k appointment - scary. Picked up DS - went to McDs for chippies, came home and started to ice the cake. Like I said couldn't work the piping thingy so if you go to my photos the end result of the home made hulk cake is there - let me know what you think. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...php?photo=8539
Liam - Greer will do that sometimes, but not all the time. Our mothers' group isn't doing much for me ATM, one mum has dropped out because she finds the 2 teen mothers grating, but I am going to keep going with it.
Well I have to go clean up my cooking mess - DH did all the dishes before I did the icing, but now the kitchen looks like a gamma bomb hit it Wanted to post the pic though to see what everyone thought of my cake making skills - I'm pretty fussy so I wasn't happy with it until I took the photo and saw it from another perspective.
Grubi - I think the cake is cute! I especially like the raised eyebrow! Wish I was coming to the party - it sounds great!!
Well Liam was a little trooper again last night - self settling. But he woke up 3 times crying and needed the dummy put in to get back to sleep (and we think his hands were cold because he'd gotten them out of the wrap, so we re-wrapped him). Then he slept through until 6.30 am this morning!!!! He's never done that before either so there's firsts all round this week.
I think I'll take some new pics today because he's looking different to me like he's grown up a lot this last week. I'm wondering now if it was a wonder week for him as he's doing a few new things like growling and a couple of times he's chuckled - but I can't get him to repeat it unfortunately.
BW - well done on the good vacs! I hope Liam's that good when we take him Monday week...
Nothing else to report. I hope everyone else is doing well
cheeky bugger!
