Wow - it's so hot here! Meant to be 39 today and was super hot yesterday! We put the little pool up for the kids yesterday for a splash so that was nice.
Hit a milestone with Dylan yesterday - and one I'm not very happy about - He didn't have a day sleep at all!! GRRR! Poor little thing though did 3 poos between 1pm and 2.45pm though and then another after he got up at 3pm so I'm hoping he just had too much going on to get to sleep! He did pretty well missing it though until it got closer to bedtime so we'll see what happens today.
I'm a bit urgh today...just feeling like I need a bit of a break...this cold seems to be lingering and I appear to have AF which seems very strange - I assume it's from me going back on the minipill and just generally tired from the boys. I don't feel like a very good mummy at the moment as I'm not doing much with Louis and Dylan at all...they pretty much just occupy themselves and watch tv all day...I think they're getting very bored and frustrated though I nearly died yesterday when Louis bit Dylan - so hard it left a bruise! Gosh...
Sorry for the vent...
Mel - I shouldn't have stayed up - Ethan ended up being so unsettled so I only got about 5 hours sleep all night! Very silly! I went to bed at 9.30pm last night so got a little more sleep in. I feel like I could sleep for a week at the moment. Ethan was still up at 1.30am and 5.45am for a feed...am looking forward to feeds just once a night - anytime soon would be great! LOL!
How did the mchn check go? Are the girls going to be sharing?? We put Louis and Dylan together from about 3 months old. Dylan still woke 100 times a night but after a week or so Louis never even woke up from him. He still doesn't!! Thats very lucky though...If Louis wakes up so does Dylan though - he's a very light sleeper!
Disgirl - What a bugger that Ben's staying up so late! Not sure about a growth spurt now..I think they can have them anytime really...Hope you get some rest before bubs arrives! I know what you mean - the anticipation is a killer!!
Wow - Ben has heaps of milk! Dylan only has 1 cup with lunch and thats it. He has yoghurt in the morning though and cheese in his sandwich so he's getting plenty of calcium!
Jensam - I don't think you need to worry about Beau - the more we generally want them to be friendly with people the more they back away! LOL! Dylans a little social butterfly who'll go up to anyone for a cuddle but Louis is a lot more hesitant and takes a while to warm up to people - I think it's just in their little personalities a bit...and probably a bit of an age thing as well...
I have moments of sadness although more and more I'm feeling a bit of relief that I won't have to do all this again!! I love my little monkey boy but gosh it's really taken it's toll on me this time around. I can't wait for him to get a couple of months older and to settle a bit so we can all enjoy our time together! Louis and Dylan have been very patient with him thats for sure - I'm always cuddling and holding him...I think it's affected Dylan more than Louis though in one respect...I really feel like Dylans the poor middle child at the moment. I'm always with Ethan but because Louis can communicate so well he's always talking to us whereas Dylan just sort of cruises along on his own. I really need to make an effort to try and get some one on one time with him soon...He's such a different little kid when he's on his own opposed to being with Louis.
Ok...better see if I have time to quickly jump in the shower before bubs wakes up...he's all out of whack this morning...routine is not something that's working in this house at the moment! LOL!
Chat later!
