We are finally over the fabulous gastro bug that Benjamin had for a week...I'm pleased to anounce that so far today..No poo!!
Very exciting given that for 3 days it was a poo every hour and they were just water....poor little fella was about 4 hours and a dry nappy away from hospital...he was refusing fluids....scarey stuff..
Hi Shoegal, Fire, BW, Lisylee, Marcellus, Ness & Mgm..
Been very busy at work so haven't been in *blah blah blah* You get the drill!
Marcellus - welcome!
Shoegal - to you. I've got thyroid problems in my family which is triggered by menopause so hopefully have at least another 15 years before it kicks in! My Nanna had an underactive thyroid and my Mum had an underactive thyroid. What's the bet I'll get the underactive one because it can make you put on weight
BW - Hope benjamin is better. That must have been frightening having him so sick he won't eat...
Liam's going well. He's slowly getting the hang of solids. However, I can't get him to like veggies... he's good at apples & other fruits (banana mainly) but every time I try veggies, he has about 2 spoonfuls and screws up his face!! Ah well, at least he has some cereal in his bottles!
He's crawling all over the place and is starting to look like he might start pulling himself up to a standing position before long. He might just skip sitting for now - because he's not doing that just yet!
However, we've finally managed to convince him to bath rather than shower. He sits ok in the bath, but it's got a little seat thingy which helps.
Well, I'm supposed to be doing an order for nappy covers... better go & get that done!
We have been revisiting the unwrapping issue for sleep....I've been putting Benjamin in a grobag, but with his arms inside it.
It wasn't going too badly, but he's been getting less and less sleep...and last night, after 2 hours of him being awake, I wrapped him out of desperation. He was able to roll around whilst wrapped, and get out of it eventually which sucked, then he rolled around so much in his sleeping bag (with his arms in) that it ended up on him backwards.
This morning, I decided, we just have to bite the bullet...I put his "seatbelt" back on (his safe t sleep) so stop him moving around too much as he just ends up overtired and won't settle), but put him down with his arms out (wearing his grobag properly).
He settled himself after about 20 minutes of protest (but more just wingeing and talking) and slept for 45 minutes, then woke, cried, winged and talked for about 5minutes and then, went back to sleep and has been asleep for an hour and 20 minutes...
We CAN do this.....
I hope everyone else is good!
Woohoo...its 6:26pm and we are 3 for 3...his morning sleep was as mentioned (he ended up going an hour and a half), his arvo one was only 45, but he had a poo and wouldn't re-settle, and he has been in bed since about 6:05pm and after about 2min of yelling, its all quiet on the western front...we shall see!
