Thanks- I took that on my mobile, shes sitting in the dogs water bowl!! And I got the ticker from your site kel, much better than the one I was using before.
Lol Kaz at giving him a blood blister. Its hard when they go through a biting stage. I just got a wack on the head from Olivia, so I pretended to cry and she gave me kisses back. We are still teething the molars here too. Livs drooling loads and had stinky poos and wees during the past week.
I have given her too much yeast and her mouth has flared up again, so I have just given her some antihistamine, hopefully it will settle it down. Also shes been really wheezy today so I must get her to the drs. I think she has asthma and its not helping with all this smoke.
Kaz, how scary with the fires being that close! Glad you're okay. Bummer that you're feeling so bad. Sounds like you need a break from Pip for some 'me' time. Have you got anybody that can take him for a while?
Mel, I'm sorry that Becca's scan wasn't all good news. Did you have hip probs as a littley? Is it genetic? Just curious as to why both your girls have issues. My sis had a rare hip prob when she was a pre-teen and had to have surgery, but apparantly that was a flukey one-off thing.
Love your ticker pic!
Kel, I'm sorry you're still having sleep problems I don't know how you keep going with everything you're doing. Sleep deprivation really screws you up - I've been in tears a few times this past week due to it, and it's only a rare thing for me.
I know what you mean about you and your DH not having 'alone' time. You've actually reminded me that I want to see if mum can look after the boys while DH and I go to the movies or something next week. At the moment we seem to be in a tag-team when we're both home...taking it in turns to sleep!
Jen, Von and Kris - hi!
Us, we've had a good night and morning Last night Ben went to bed no worries at 7:30. It was lucky that he did because Jared fed ALL night again until 10:30pm. Seriously, he was on one boob or the other from the time we got home from the park (yay, some outside time at last!) at about 5pm until 10:30. Take him off and he was screaming. Anyway, he finally did a huge round of ripping farts and poos at about 10pm and then went to sleep until 3am! I had the most glorious sleep! Ben slept until 7am as well - it was wonderful
I felt so energised this morning that we ventured out to Big W to buy some nappies. Jared in the Hug A Bub (don't know how I'd get by without that thing) and Ben walking until he popped into a trolley. All went very well. Ran into one of my SIL's and another friend while we were out too so I felt like I was actually a part of the real world. Actually, today is probably going to go down as one of the best days since Jared was born... good sleep, some outside world interaction, no tantrums (yet) and some 'me' time right now. And the weekend is upon us meaning Craig is home for the next two nights - wonderful!!!
Okay, I really should go and do the washing up - bleh!
Welll thursday night was horrid. Pip fell asleep ... then threw up. DH & I argued over that (he'd aparently just checked him and told me to let him cry it out) but his cry was weird, and the coughing sounded chunky... vomited 3 times - once in his bed, once in our bed and then once in the clean bed.
Doc said he's got "a virus" but apparently the little mark under his nose which I thought was from him picking his nose is actually staff so we've got ointment for that.
Mel, yeah, I like these tickers too, they're much bigger and brighter! So everyone can see my little monkeys
I hope R's hips turn out to be ok. I guess the positive is (I think??) thatthey don't seem to be as bad as O's were? And I hope O is better with her thrush and wheezing. All that smoke around must be awful.
Kaz, I hope you and Pip are feeling better. And that Pip has stopped biting you!! Little monster. That's actually one thing Lily never did, thank goodness! Mind you she made up for it in other ways!
Dis, yeah, I've had some pretty major meltdowns lately with the sleep deprivation. I'm really bad if I don't get enough sleep and well lately that has been alot. Because I can't sleep int he day anymore with having to work, I'm really feeling the days I get less than about 4-5 hrs! (God hasn't that changed......a few yrs ago it would hve been more like 7-8hrs!!) One day I only got 2hrs nd I hd a really bad breakdown, sobbing and teary all day. Poor DH is getting the same sleep, maybe little more, but not much. But he can cope alot better with little sleep he's more used to it from having been in the navy.
You're lucky you have someone to look after the kids. I don't, my mum won't even do it if they're sleeping! One thing I can count on is that they both sleep from bout 7-11pm. Just enough time for a nice dinner out for DH and I, but mum just won't do it...what if they wake up??? I seriously have no idea how she parented me and my bro's!
Glad to hear things are getting a bit better for you too. Things do get easier. It's so hard the first few months. I didn't really feel properly human til Liam was about 4mths! Now I feel ****ty again cause of lack of sleep!! Ugh, I can't wait til one or the other of them sleeps through the night every night!
We are doing ok. We had a great night sleep last night, Liam slept for almost 6hrs straight, and one of his teeth is through, so I'm hoping I get some time off the hourly waking for a while! Lil did pretty well too, once she came into our room, she slept 11pm til 4am straight. So I'm feeling pretty human today! Yay!! Must go and make the most of my mood, lol! Hope all are well.
Well I wrote this huge post the other day and BB packed up, so I lost it Oh and I had to take my ticker off coz the picture was too big Never mind. It was good while it was there!!!!
I think I was talking about hips....yes, I had Hip Dysplasia when I was born, so both my girls having it has been unlucky. Its more common in first born girls (I was 2nd girl and my sister didnt get it and neither did my 6 brothers) and its also common in breech bubs and bubs with feet problems....both my girls have had feet problems (positional tallipes...Rebeccas was called something different, but hers was bad...its kind of straighter now!!!). Yeah rebeccas hips are no where near as bad as Olivias, which is good. I just hate waiting to see the specialist...joys of public system!!! Oh well thursday will come around soon enough!
kaz- hope youre feeling better soon. If you want I can look after Pip for you/
Kel- I dont know how you do it. You have been blessed with crappy sleepers. Am hoping the sleep well soon for you and can totally understand your meltdowns. I would be a basket case!!!!
Olivias been sleeping in her toddler bed the last few nights. Sometimes its great...the other times are bad. Thismorning DH and I woke up coz Rebecca was awake playing in her bassinett at 830. We were saying how good it was that Olivia had slept in, then all the sudden from the floor we heard her start talking. We didnt hear her come in!!! I checked on her after beccas last feed at 615 and she was still in her bed!!!! Must have come in and got no response from either of us and fell back asleep on the floor! Today I had to take her out for a drive to get her to have her arvo sleep...thats how I have to do it atm!!!
Woke up to find something smelling really bad. It was Pip - he had pood and it all went up his back (erk) - DH's fault as he put him in a sposie overnight.
Have you noticed our little munchkins are becoming little boys and girls instead of babies?
