Oh Gosh Kel and Mel!
Hugs to you Mel and your no sleeper - is Olivia eating normally? Thats weird refusing the bottle - maybe she just knows what it means, that she has to go to bed, Beau went thru a stage like that. Hope she sleeps thru tonight for you - what would be stronger than over the counter? Like a higher dosage? Are you using Sm 33 aswell? I think it just distracts them more than anything LOL.
Oh Kel, Beau has been a ratbag the past two days with teeth and just a mega whinger - so much so I mumbled " oh shut up!!" under my breath last night!! Bad hey? I have no clue how you are doing it there on your own in the day now with two - hopefully you can get out of the house tomorrow and get a new perspective. I have been roaming the streets here in search of parks and swings with two dogs aswell as B but at least when it all goes pear shaped - we have been out and he seems happier when we get back. Is there anywhere close to home you can roam too that is easy just to get out for 15min? i think tomorrow is going to be hot tho in Sydney. That was good of your mum to come over for a bit at least. ((((hugs)))) and sleep vibes xxx
Us - Trying to sort out some kind of public transport here and get B a new smaller stroller on the weekend to make bus trips less of a hassle, prob a Maclaren one? Or I dont mind the Quinny Zapp? Apart from that I feel ok atm about the move and everything, die for DH to get home of course, only because B has been a bit of a handful, he was better this arvo tho, although has a runny nose, lots of hugs and kisses and "hi' s from him so maybe he feels better too He loved chasing the seagulls out the back today and calling them "duck-ees" - cute.
Hi to everyone else - pleasant dreams x

ooh i realised i didnt use Olivias name in my last post...just she!!! must have been over it!!! Love the girl but she drives me nuts some times!!!! Was looking for a teething elixir that the chemist makes up but it has panadol and vallergan in it, so need a script. Olivia slept somewhat better last night, went to bed with a few grizzles at 8 but was awake screaming by 1230. Gave her neurofen, actually shoved it down her throat coz she didnt want it, then into bed with us and alseep til 630. She did wake once with a nightmare...just screamed, but was able to resettle.
Kel- hugs to you. It must be difficult and with no sleep. Lucky your mum came over. Hope you got more sleep last night.
Well, am deciding what to do today...take Olivia to daycare and do more housework/bookwork/clean my car, or take her to see my dad who goes in for his op next week. usually when i go there hes so busy and leaves me there, so sometimes i wonder why i bother. Hes always got things to do. Busy man.... I'll call him soon though and make my decision.
Mel, Olivia sounds like she's really struggling with her teeth! I really don't like these ones either. I wish they'd just hurry up and cut. The poor little things - and poor us for having to deal with them Are all four coming through or is it just the top ones?
Jen, I lost it at Ben the other night and yelled from my room "Just go back to sleep and shut UP!" Thankfully it seemed to help me calm down and I managed to get him resettled eventually. The constant sooking really grates on your nerves though huh?
How cute, with Beau and his duck-ees! They're duck-duck's to Ben
Aw Kel, I'm sorry you're having a rough time by yourself. Thank goodness your mum gave you a hand! If you ever need anything, just let me know. I'm only working for two days a week for the next three weeks so I'll be home - not far from you - if I can do anything.
Ben's teeth actually seemed to have settled over the last couple of days. He's still dribbling like nothing else, but the constant whinging has eased a bit. One looks SO close to cutting, but that will still leave three anyway *sigh*. I have it a lot better than you girls though, at least he's sleeping through right now. Actually, he's sleeping longer now than he has for a while. A growth spurt? Teething? Who knows? He's gone off his food though. There's always something....
