Disgirl, sorry to hear about your tummy bug...the last thing you need at the moment...I'm sure labour will hold off until your all better..our bodies are pretty good at that stuff! Rest up!!
Had a shocker of a day with Ethan...he's definitely keeping us on our toes! I just hope he sleeps ok tonight...I still feel sick with a cold although dh let me have a sleep in this morning which was much appreciated.
Mel, glad to hear that R's hips are ok, hopefully that next appt will clear her completely. I can sympathise on the sleep issues, still having them here too. I've gotten used to functioning on under 5hrs broken sleep. DH is home for a few days so I will get to have a bit of a break, yay!
Dis, we lived in the aircon for a few days too. And went to mums for a swim. But Lil is scared of the pool. She's never been swimming in a big body of water becasue of her ear problems, so we are going to have to get her used to it now! She does love the water though so that's a good thing.
We need to transition Lily to her bed. We've had it for a few months now but are yet to try her out in it on her own. She sleeps in it with DH sometimes during the arvo, but not by herself yet. I was trying to wait til her sleep issues were over but I'm thinking they're NEVER going to be over!
I hope you're well and that things are stirring for you! And that you're feeling better.
Jen, so are you pg, are you, are you, huh, huh?????? Hehehe, I just found out a good friend of mine is 11wks pg, I'm so excited for her. I have to live vicariously now, cause DH has said no more kidlets... a good and bad thing I guess, I'm torn if I want another or to just get on with things and be happy with the family unit we have now. Not that I'm not happy! But ykwim!!
Yeah, Lil stil has 2 day sleeps, but they're only about 1hr each. I tried for a few days to give her only one day sleep, but it seemed to make everything worse, cause then she only had one one hour sleep. When she has the two she gets at least 2hrs even though it's broken up, kwim. So we're back to the 2 day sleeps. She isn't TOOOO bad at night the past couple of nights, maybe 2-3 wakes a night, sometimes only once. But it goes in waves.....Hope B's waking later, but I can symapthise with 5am wake ups, they absolutely SUCK!!
Kris, I hope Ethan has settled for you.
It's kinda sad when you decide on no more kids huh? I am sort of coming to terms with it. And I can see where my DH is coming from, but the urge to have more is so hard to quiet down! I can only imagine how hard it will be in a year or two when I have the feeling coming back already to have more....But I hear you on the longing to have your body back too! I can't wait to be able to do what I want when I want, like having more than one drink!
We're doing ok. Lily is such a character. She always doing something silly be it on purpose to make us laugh or just something that she discovers she can do....she's such a funny thing! I am starting the toilet training tomorrow. DH is home so it will make life a bit easier. Ok should go to bed, it's almost midnight! I had a 2hr nap this arvo with Liam that's why I'm still up....
Kel - It certainly is a hard decision to finish having bubbas...I think I will struggle in a few months time also but dh is so certain he doesn't want more - he only wanted 2 so I've got my way having another one so I'm sure that will be it...we have decided when I get super clucky again (it's inevitable!) we will get a puppy dog...LOL!!
Gosh - 5h sleep??? That would do my head in every night...I need at least 6 to get through the next day...Luckily dh gets up to the 2 older boys so I only have to deal with the baby...Hope you manage to catch up on some sleep over the next few days!!
Wow - your keen on the tt?? I don't think I'll bother with Dylan for a while yet...for one, it's just to hard with the baby at the moment and I just don't think he's anywhere near ready either...it takes such a big effort if their not ready yet that I figure I may as well wait a until he's 2ish and shows real signs of being ready...
We had a nice morning taking the boys to Lilydale Lake for a mothers group thing...The boys loved having a run around which was great! Dh is back at work tomorrow which I'm not looking forward to - his holidays went way to quickly!!
NOTHING happening here! No tightenings, cramps, pains, show or ANYTHING happening. I think this bub might stay put until at least his/her due date. I guess that's okay, but I'm starting to get impatient already!!!!
Enjoy the peace Disgirl! LOL!! Nah..I know how hard the last weeks can be...I was sooo impatient with Dylan but funnily enough was more than happy to wait for Ethans arrival!!
Had a quiet day with dh back at work...although was mayhem trying to cook a roast with Ethan needing to be held and Louis and Dylan annoying each other and tired and cranky! Lucky dh gets home early or it would have been impossible!
Have stayed up way to late watching the second season of Love my way (watched 5 episodes cos I couldn't turn the dvd off!)...am going to pay for this in the morning - LOL! Chat later!
Mel- like Kristie said...enjoy this last week or so. I was impatient as well, its so exciting to finally meet your little bundle. I hope all goes well for your birth and that Bens ok with his new sibling. How is the sick little tacker anyway??? Do you have someones contact number on BB so we can post a birth announcement???
Kris- wow must be a good show to stay up that late!!! I cant do it, coz I know what I have to face the next morning!!!!
Olivia had a nightmare last night and wouldnt go back in her cot, so I lay down with her in her toddler bed...cramped for space....she fell asleep ok in there. DH went to check on her this morning and she was fast asleep on the floor. Poor little mite. He brought her to our bed and shes still sleeping. Maybe this is where I start with the bed, then I can look at getting Becca out of our room, but shes still up overnight, so Im not sure what to do.
Got the MCHN check today to see how much shes grown...shes huge now. She smiles and cooes and is crying now...better go Its going to be hot here today, so will pull out the little pool....yay
Kel, you are very keen on the toilet training! Ben is nowhere near ready. I reckon we're at least a year away with him. He is fascinated when his dad does a wee, but only sometimes tells us when he's done a poo, so he doesn't even really recognise that yet.
Mel, excellent news on Rebecca's hips! Have fun splashing in your pool.
Kris, how are you feeling after your late night? I bet the kids were up earlier than usual. That's always the way!
Jen, well....are ya? It's going to be another hot few days so I bet you'll be jumping in that lake again soon.
Us, we had a shocker last night. Ben's decided that bedtime is sometime after midnight. 12:30am last night 1am the night before He's been a bugger to put down too. I just have this feeling that he knows something really big is going to happen soon and he's playing up a bit. He's also SO hungry that it's crazy. I wouldn't be able to eat what he eats in a day - I'm not kidding! Do they typically go through a growth spurt now or is he still just recovering from being ill?
I'm exhausted after our late night. At least I went to the loo for the first time since I was sick so that is helping to make me feel a little better, although, I'm feeling a bit nauseous, probably from lack of sleep rather than pre-labour. I'm not totally sick of being pregnant yet, but the not knowing is the part that's getting to me! Craig finally installed the capsule yesterday so at least we can get bub home now - with Ben, we got the capsule installed and I went into labour the next day. Hmmmm... I don't think I could deal with labour with how tired I am right now!
Stay out of the heat everybody, I think it's hot everywhere today!
