Jacci = Declan just doesn't sleep very well wakes up sometimes every hour and then wont go back to sleep sometimes he has gotten better lately he only woke 4 times last night so that was pretty good fingers cross it is 3 or less tonight and he sleeps past 6 say to 7:30 would be great!
Becky - you poor thing you must be buggered! I have been hinging that charlie wakes up once a night ( i am now stopping my whinging!!!!) Hope he sleeps thru for you soon!
Hello lovelies!
Jac - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. How old are his children? Hope that you and Gav are ok.
Becky - I can totally sympathise with you hon. Janae used to have really broken sleep like that too. Unfortunately I don't even have any tips for you coz she did it until just after Josiah was born (not to scare you - I'm sure Declan will grow out of it really soon)
Mitch - hope you had a great weekend.
Theresa - Yay on the tooth. Been meaning to ask - is Em still tube-fed? Has she put on any weight since she started on it? Has Georgie been showing the same sensitivities, or is she more tolerant?
abs - Glad Jen found a ring that she likes. Hope you find one soon. I thought I must of missed something with you adding your wedding to your ticker - but then I realised you've been talking about it on here anyway! DOH - blonde moment!!! Jordy is looking gorgeous btw...and so much hair :)
everything ok on this front. Josiah has been walking along furniture like crazy, and stands on his own for a few seconds quite often (as I'm typing this I'm sure I've said it before - sorry if I'm repeating myself) Not so many bumps and bruises now that he knows to grab onto something - well not so many tears anyway, i think he's just numb to the pain after doing it so often! Nothing else new though.
I'm off to bed - had a horror night with both of the kids last night and it has left me wrecked today. Praying for a better night tonight.
Bel
hope you sleep/slept well Bel - I'm up doing stupid Blood Sugar tests at 3f'n am
He does have a heap of blonde hair doesn't he... had his 1st swimming lesson yesterday - LOVED it. And came back with this cute twirl at the front - completely forgot to take a picture of it
When I was out at lunch, well when I got back, left my mobile in the car. The jeweller rang and left the price of the ring I told em I wanted. Damn, it's 70% of the price of Jen's ! Gotta get the price of the other one so will be calling back during business hours
I have to go into RPA (Royal Prince Alfred) hospital by 8.45 (means fighting Sydney morning traffic - the RPA is on the CBD outskirts - argh) for some test that's gonna take an hour or so, so will check in around lunchtime
OMG Jacci, that's terrible. That is very sad.
I feel sorry for the kids. If she didnt want to hurt or be hurt she would've told him b4 having an affair. Sorry, just my POV, no offence intended. :)
Both my parents attempted suicide around the time I was 18 (at diff times) & that was horrible, yes I agree Abs, they don't think how it will affect those left behind. And my mums dad committed suicide when mum was 13, so u'd think she would've known better, however they did loose their 2yo son from drowning. A work colleague did a murder suicide coz his wife was havin an affair, he left behind a few kids too. (he jumped off a cliff at same place/park we got married at few wks later)
Wow Jacci, u & hubby are just incredible with ur fitness, puts me to shame.
Becky, that must be hard, hope u get some answers/ideas or that Declan decides to start sleeping thru of his own accord, real soon.
Oh Bel, here's to a good nights sleep.
WTG on finding the rings Abs. Hope all goes well at hosp.
Well Charlie and i hvave the flu! its horrible! - i feel like crap!
Shell - I agree with the leaving people behind to hurt - imagine having to tell your kids that there dad commited suicide because the mum had, had an affair. Hows the baby bump coming along?
Glad you found yur wedding rings - gav has the 2 tone rine - it has whitegold in the middle and gold rims on either side. about the same size 4cm's - although he never wears it!
Sleep- well charlie has slept the last 4 nights thru he hasn't woken once! i am amazed he goes to bed at 8 and then he wakes up at 6.30-7 but we don't even have to get up once during the night! It is great!!!!!!
Well better go have some breaky!
Jac
LOL Bel!:
Abs- WTG on find the rings!
Jacci- oh bummer u and charlie are both cik, i hope u both get better soon
charlie seems heaps better this arvo!
Bel - I agree - charlie bumps his heaad all the time and he has just learnt to keep going - must be numbness!!!
Jac - so sorry to hear about your friend. That's awful for the poor children.
We had a 7 hour siege in the street behind us last night. Could barely get into the suburb cops had that many streets blocked off. It stemmed from a domestic violence, to domestic violence with firearms to him threatening his whole family. Once again, sucks when there's kids involved.
Anyway - on a brighter note - well done on the ring hunting Abs! I swear, you guys have got it sussed - no long waiting periods - I am so hanging out to get married it's ridiculous!!
Hello everyone,
Sorry I've been MIA for a while, busy with work and Olivia, I do pop in now and then to keep up with all you chatterboxes..LOL
Olivia is doing well, although I think she may be getting more teeth as she's very grumpy and out of sorts lately and doesn't want to be put down, so unlike her..
Jacci,
So sorry to hear about your friend, my heart goes out to the family. How sad for the children, my sisters brother-inlaw comitted suicide last year and left behind his wife and 7 girls, and people are still unaware why!! Such a horrible situation.
I hope Charlie and Gavin are well, still on your fitness regime I see.Well done to Gavin on the race.I am running 3 km per day and cycling 6 or 7km at the moment and that's a push...but gee it feels good.
Abs,
Great to hear you have the rings sorted, Jordy has so much hair, what a cutie!!
Susan,
The siege sounds so scary, what a horrible situation. I can imagine how much you're hanging out to get married, time will fly you'll see..
Big hello to everyone else,
KelliC
sooz - you're in Perth aren't you? I know where that was - my boss lives a street back too...
aaargh, gotta go josiah's destroying the headphones...it's to early in the morning for this!
HaVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE
Bel
Kel, some of the other groups are heaps more chatterboxes than we are ! I think Sept 06 + one or two other groups are ahead of us already in thread count and we had a 5 month head start... or is there heaps of mums in there hence the massive number of posts ??
Sooz, yikes, hope it ended with noone hurt - it is said that things can get like that. And yeah, Jen keeps saying "but we don't have enough time to do this or that or that or this"... I say back, it doesn't matter. They are only minor trimmings that dont really matter. She is excited about it
Bel, what are you doing up that early ??
Hi everyone,
Sorry I have been MIA for a while!!!
Jacci - I am sorry to hear about yuor friend, I hope he found the peace that he was searching for, it is a shame that his wife and children will live with that for the res tof
their lives though!!!
I hope you are feeling better and well done for Gav on the bike ride!!
Sooz - we drove past the siege the other night, you live fairly close to us now too!!
Abs - congrats on finding the ring, my DH designed his own ring and we had it specially made, so I know he like his!!!
Kelli - well done on the fitness, I ride like 5km, but then I die, I am so unfit!!!
Not much to report from here, I am getting worried about the amount Tyron sleeps and am off to search on howm any hours he should be averaging!!
Have a nice day :D
This is the second person in 2 years i know that has commited suicide! - remember when we were pregnant someone did too!!
Gotta run and tidy the house the valuer is coming today! eeeh
Wil BBL
jac
Lisa- let us know what u find the average amount of hours they should be sleepign at this age, woould be interesting to know.
Nixon finally after 9 1/2months is now enjoying tummy time and not spewing so much when he is on his tum! so now im not having to get up 5-6times a night to turn him back over he is quite happy sleeping on his tum with his bum up in the air lol so cute.
Sooz- that would have been abit scarey with the seige, was it the house directly behind yours or a little bit further?
lisa how much is he sleeping - charlie is going to bed at 7pm now and waking up at 7 am then back down at 8.30 for 1/2 hour then at 12 till 2 then 1/2 hour at 4 then bed at 7 again. seems like he sleeps all the time to me! so thats about 15 hours a day
Yeah ive roughly worked out Nixon sleeps about 15hrs a day. 11-12hrs overnight then a 1/2-1hr sleep in the morning then 1-2hr sleep in the arvo
Charlie sleeps 12 hours at night, and now has dropped one day sleep, so has only one 1 - 1.5 hour sleep in the arvo.
Having said that, he hasn't had a nap today yet though :doh:
Hi everyone,
Tyron sleeps on average about 16-17 per day, I had a look online and rang my health nurse and she said anything between 14-18 is okay, so that puts my mind at rest, he is very active whilst awake so maybe he is jsut tired??
Well BBL later, got washing up to do!!
yikes, I wish Josiah got that much sleep! He sleeps about 11 hours at night, IF he goes to bed at 6.30, otherwise, like last night it's 9 hours. Then if i'm lucky I'll get 2 1hr sleeps out of him during the day, otherwise it's just the one.
He SO needs to sleep more, but just fights sleeping so much that half the time it's not worth the effort.
yeah we probably get 14-15hrs too I guess
Down at say 7pm, wake at say 6am, with maybe a short wake inbetween - so say 9.5
Then 2hrs later say 1:20 average (always multiples of 40mins), another nap usually before lunch and usually but not always another nap in the arvo
He has also started waving at anyone going past, or when someone leaves - tis sooo cute, and so funny.
Hello everyone.
Lisa, it does seem like Tyron sleeps a lot but then when you add all the hours together I guess all the babies in the group would sleep between 13-18hrs a day-WOW it seems such a long time when you think about it, I only get 5 hours a night!. Olivia normally goes down at 8:30pm-7:00am and then generally has 2 x 1:30 hours sleeps during the day, although I have upset her routine as I go to the gym everyday and she normallly falls asleep on the way there but then I have to wake her and there's no way she'll go back to sleep so then she's grumpy all afternoon, but because I work afternoon shift I have to get everything done during the day so we are constantly in and out of the car. As she gets older she becomes less tolerant of being woken up (who can blame her) hehehehehehe...
Abs, How cute that Jordy waves to everyone, I bet it melts a lot of hearts, we have taught Olivia to clap on demand but she can't quite get the hang of waving yet..
Take care everyone, see you soon
x
Alexa had the worst night ever last night... took me an hour and a half to get her to sleep... then she slept for 2 hours & then woke up & would not settle for an hour & a half... so I finally got to sleep at 2am only to be awake again at 6.30 to get ready for work..... I need coffee!!!!!!!!
I am not a good person to be around with hardly any sleep....
hehe, i've had minimal sleep since 3.30 too mitch, but only 30mins of that was due to Jordy :(
Declan went to bed at 8:20 was up at 12:30 until 1:15 woke again at 2 went back to sleep when I rolled him over was up at 3 and was starvin marvin took til 3:30 to get back to sleep then it was 5:15 he woke took til 5:30 to get back to sleep and then was up at 6:45 and that is about the norm he has just gone back to sleep now he will sleep for an hour and then he will have a sleep around 2 this afternoon for about 1:30 and thats it!
must of been the night for crap sleep!!! charlie was awake 3 or 4 times over the night.
mitch - I am not a good person with no sleep either!! i got angry at charlie this morning and told him he was naughty - then gav yelled at me!
Abs - it is cute isn't it!!! charlie waves too - but for ages he would just wave at himself coz thats the way he seen our hands so he did it that way. When we went away on the weekend - the kids at the caravan loved that he danced when you tell him too -they just kept getting him to do it over and over and over.
Hey everyone, I think the siege ended up ok with no one hurt thank goodness because his whole family was in the house and he was threatening them all. Started as a domestic violence - sucks when kids are involved. It was the street behind us, but not the house directly behind us thank goodness!!
Us Perth people must be pretty close - we should meet up one day - I'd really like Amber to have some more socialisation, she just loves other baby's. It's cute!
Wow it's been so quiet in here today!!
Is anyone else's bubba really rough when they play, Olivia seems to hit and pinch me a lot, I know she's only playing but gees it hurts, she pinched my sisters face the other day and broke the skin.. Maybe she'll be a boxer when she grows up...hehehehehe
Mitch,
I hope Alexa sleeps better for you tonight so you can get a good nights sleep :pray: , is hubby away at the moment? It must make it hard when it's just you that has to get up all night.
Becky,
I also hope Declan has a big sleep tonight..he seems to sleep very little, is he grumpy throughout the day?
Jacci,
Lack of sleep can be the worst, I hope Charlie sleeps well for you tonight..x
hi everyone
I completely forgot an important announcement late yesterday
That little munchkin of ours who is called Jordan actually crawled !! Uh Oh !!
Time to finish off the various gates (and blocking off my desk too - soooo many cables and power points under that :( )
Kelli... Jeff works out of town all week & is away from sun night to friday night... & I work fulltime aswell so it is a real challenge when she plays up!!!
ABS.... woohoo of Jordy crawling.. now the fun begins LOL....
BBL ppl... better do some work.....
abs - i have had to put a piece of ply under our computer coz charlie loved it in there!
Look out now he going to get quicker and quicker at it!!!!! charlie started of real slow now he is a little speedy gonzalis!! good job jordy!
Mitch - i feel for you being a single mum during the week and working full time.
better go for walk
BBL
Jac
we have another safety gate to go across the "entrance" to my work area
now to remind the cats on how to jump over the gates too
How scary Sooz, good that no-one was hurt though.
Great milestone for Nixon, Nickers. Yes, it is so cute with bum in air, hehe.
Wow Sush, no nap b4 4:30pm, hehe, Charlie must be keepin u very busy. :)
Holly still has 2(maybe3) sleeps per day & about 10hrs at night, up for bottle, back down for 1-2hrs.
Mitch, hope u get some well deserved regular sleep soon. That would be hard too.
I'm still getting insomnia (or whatever) with this pregnancy, so can be awake for hrs with brain going 100miles/hr so can't get back to sleep, but luckily no crying baby.
How cute Bec.
Ouch Kelli. Holly bit my leg yesterday & I yelled intinctively, ooouuch, hehe, she just looked at me stunned, i tried to tell her 'no, dont bite, naughty', but dont think she understood a word hehe.
Yay on Jordy crawling, Abs.
Jacci, I've been thinkin something along those lines for our comp desk, she loves the cords & they sure are lightening fast so hard to stop them in time sometimes. Also, Holly will have to move into the comp room when bub comes along, so will need a permanent solution. We don't have a 4th room for a study & back ent room is not waterproof, so lots of condensation, doh.
Holly had her late 9mth checkup today, was cancelled when she was sick:
10.2mth: DW:8.9kg, L:68cm, HC:46cm
8mth: Partial DW=7.9kg, L=66.5cm
NT Scan next Fri 9am.
Shell - our computer id in the back corner of our lounge room. ( we have a really big lounge room) but i also have the same problem as you - our back room gets lots of condensation. we only have a 2 bedrroom house - so no 2nd baby here till we guild another room!. One of my friends actually has the computer in her room - that works quite well for her.
Mitch - hope you got some sleep last night!
Well better go make myself a cuppa coffee and have a sit down - charlie got up at
Hi Girls,
Well DH got home a little while ago from Perth.
Thursday arfternoon at only 6DPO i decided to do a little test. Probably because DH wasnt here to scrutinize it would be silly to test so early! Anyway expecting a BFn i was totally in utter shock when my first very faint, but definatley there:bfp: came up!!
OMG OMG OMG! so i waited an hour and did another test (using pregnosis clear) and another :bfp: could it even be possibly to get a BFP so soon?
So I went to the shops and bought the fortel test that says u can test 5-7days before AF and got a BFN.
OK wait until Friday morning, woke at 5.15am! POAS and get another very faint :bfp:
Since then i have done about 6 more with all but one coming up positive.....
I was so worried how dh would react. when he came in i was following him around the house, he eventually said whats up! I said my hands are all sweaty feel them, he did and said why? and i said i have something to tell u!! he knew straight away and exclaimed how super his sperm was lol....He was very excited!
So i have rung my gp and booked for a BT on monday arvo, will probably get that back tues arvo/ wednesday.
I figured out i will be due 25.10.07 which will be an 18month gap between Nixon and no
OMG OMG OMG!!
HUGE CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! Gott a duck out but let us know for sure the date.
God October seems sooo far away
Congratulations!!!
That is such great news nic, good luck with the appointment.
Hi Everyone else
We have had a blackout here since 230am till now, so no a/c or anything. couldn't do my washing so I went to the shops lol any excuse. But it means I have to do it all now.
Hope you are all well!
Congrats Nic - woohoo...and seems both you and jac seem to have a missing number at the end of your post !
Hmm, so much for crawling - no sign of it again. If he does get up on all fours, as soon as he tries to move, his knees go out sideways like he's a frog and barely moves from there
abs - i'm confused about the number thing????
yes Abs i was going to ask what u meant by a number missing????
Nixon does the same re: crawling he'll rock for a while then frog leg out.
