worst night ever. ds refused to go to bed - i eventually got him there at 10pm. dd only went down at 9, but woke every 10-15 minutes and had to be resettled. between the two of them i was already a wreck by the time i got to bed at 12.30. then they conspired to torment me with frequent wakings, and dd decided that 6am would be a good time to wake up for an hour or so. i managed to get her (and myself) back to sleep at about 7.15, but ds was fully awake by then and wasn't keen to let me sleep.
when dh arrives back today it'll probably be the happiest i've ever been to see him! i just wish he didn't have to go to work tomorrow so he could take dd and let me sleep in.
if there were a smilie of a tired, haggard-looking woman with crazy hair and bloodshot eyes i would be inserting it HERE.
hope you all had a better (and longer) sleep than me!
PS beatrix teeth, wow! are both the front ones coming up at once? i'm sure they'll look normal once they're out, but you can always ask a mch nurse if you're concerned.
Mgm sorry you had such a bad night, but at least DH is home today. Liam slept badly last night too (not as bad as you had though!). We had trouble settling him at first and then realised that he smelled poo-ey. We got him up and changed him and got him re-settled. Then he poo-ed again this morning which is way more than normal.
I've had a coldy/flu-ey thing so we're thinking maybe he's got it and is feeling off and has the runs (hard to tell with baby poo, isn't it?). Poor sausage is asleep now...
Been MIA myself this week but hope I'll have more time by the weekend to catch up with personals... sorry!
SG - what's an opthalmologist? Just curious! I reckon your ticker photo might be a little out of date too - I'm sure Baxter's grown up a lot since then!
Meg - we get the occasional chuckles out of Liam but they're hard won at the moment. Can't wait for him to start doing it all the time! He's not far off rolling either - stay tuned for that one!
Nettie - you're right, I did need a new signature! Here is Baxter in the tub with Pirate Duck, he loves Pirate Duck and tries to eat his beak in the bath. An opthalmologist is a eye doctor, I was born with a cataract and my optho thought that Baxter may have been born with one as it is classed as family history. But all okay, go back in 3 months time for another check up.
Well, we had a fab day together yesterday. We waited over an hour for the Dr, and he was so good. Then we went into the city and I fed and changed him at the parents room at Myer (those places are mingin' IMO) then I had a shop at country Road and he sat happily and watched me try on clothes, then we went to Target since they are having a good sale (20% off babies clothes). My little man is almost in 0 size, it's very loose around the chest but he is just so long.
He's just figred out how to blow raspberries too, so cute!
Janine - how are you feeling hun?
Nessa - teeth! OMG!
mgm - when is DH home??
Leyla - are you around hun? How are you? Please update soon....
Hello to everyone else, hope you are all going well.
I am a golf widow tomorrow so going to watch my old netball team play.
Darn... do you know if you press Esc it deletes your post???? Grrrr - start again:
Had a rough night with Liam last night with him having a cold and not being able to settle laying down, so we both sat up with him (for moral support and also because we were worried for him so both felt more comfortable being with Liam) until 4am. I did manage to doze a few times in the chair, but nothing substantial. Then he settled down enough to put him in his cot so we went to bed. He woke up at 6 am and I got up to him until 11am when DH took over & I went back to bed until 3pm.
BW - for BJ! It must be the day for it as Liam rolled from back to tummy twice this morning (so I had to go & wake DH to tell him!) and then again this afternoon (when DH had to come and wake me to tell me!). Always on his right side, but he's tried the left too, so I know he'll do it that way if there's something that side that he wants!
SG - LOVE the pirate duck! Glad to see a new pic of Baxter - he's really grown! Thanks for explaining the opthalmologist - always good to know.
Must go... got to do a similar post on the other thread & catch up on my cloth nappies thread before bed tonight. Might like to get in early in case it's another rough one. Although he's been down since 6.30 pm tonight without much murmuring... He's such a good boy. I know he's woken up once or twice (by the sounds of his breathing) but he just gets himself back to sleep. I am a very blessed mother!
