Wow Erin, 9 hours thats great. Sorry am no good with ideas on that stuff!
Olivia slept crap last night, I think she likes to give a taste of what she can do then just do the opposite. Although she has been a bit grizzly today.
Hope you are all well, its frezzing and I cant wait for the summer.
Take care
Love Melissa
HI everyone,
Well we have had a few busy days. TOday we went out and brought a whole heap of clothes for me and Lil (mostly Lil..) in the sales. We shopped all day from about 11am til 4.30! Lily was such a good girl, dozing and looking at the lights all day. We then came home, got changed in a mad rush and left to try to get to Campbelltown for a birthday party in half an hour in friday night peak hour traffic...not possible!! We were half anhour late but we all looked good, 'specially Lily who got ''oh how cute is she ?!'' comments all night. I feel so proud whenever people say those things.
We had a great night too, with Lily only waking once at 4:30 then sleeping til 7.35! Woohoo, hopefully thise 5.00 starts have gone, sooooo not a mornign person! Mind you it took me ages to get her to sleep again, about two hours of waking and putting to bed and waking and putting to bed.....very tedious and draining.
I have noticed changes in Lily these past few days too, like she really looks at you when you talk to her and she talks back, like she's having a conversation with you, and she tries to copy facial expressions. Things certainly change quickly don't they!
Anyway the princess is finally asleep after a big day (she was very overtired) so I'd better get a shower in and go to bed too...
Sorry no energy for personals, glad to hear everyone seems to be well.
Night everyone, sleep tight!
G'day.
Erin-OMG what a fantastic nights sleep. Fingers crossed it happens again tonight! I am looking forward to the three month mark when Hazel might finally settle down for some decent day sleeps. As for the present idea- I always buy children books. They are so good for them and if you buy a classic and write a personal message they make a really special present that the child can treasure.
Just watching 'Uptown Girls'. OMG Dakota Fanning is an amazing little actress! Think my pregnancy sentimentality is here to stay.
Have a great weekend everyone. I am off to my sister's near Byron Bay for the weekend which will be lovely x x
Kellie- you must have been posting just as I was! Sounds like you had a great day :D
Hi!
Dh's Parents have wireless so I've brought the computer up! Wow - I've got heaps to catch up on! I'll try my best...
Hmm whats news for us?? I've surrendered to the fact that Dylans only napping...He's sleeping ok at night so thats the main thing. In fact last night I fed him at about 8.45pm and then not again until 6am!!! (Although he was in bed with me from 12pm!) He's such a happy little munchkin though with lots of smiles when he's up though so thats good. Still lots of wind and sickies but he's ok...
Danni - Nice to see you and Mason on Thursday. Sorry to hear you had such a bugger of a morning. Masons just gorgeous! When I said I was up at 4am it was only for a second - only to shove the dummy in and calm him down after his coughing!!!
Yeah for Mason getting out of 0000 jumpsuits - woohoo! You should be very proud of yourself.
Kel - Glad you had a great night! Yeah on the shopping! Our little bubbas are certainly growing up fast! I love having chats with Dylan!
Melissa - Glad Olivias eyes are clearing up. Dylans have been a bit weepy and I squirted him with milk which was quite amusing...kept squirting in the wrong direction - hehe. Hopefully it won't get any worse...
Glad you got such a great nights sleep as well! (and then a bad one...bugger)
I'm with you - bring on summer!
Krys - Glad iggy's going so well! Yeah on only one overnight feed! LOL at having a big bum - I can certainly relate - this weight just doesn't want to drop off very easily. Although I haven't been to the gym this week cos we've all been sick...Will make sure I get out next week.
Glad Iggy went well with his immunisations! Wow what a big boy!!! Ooh it's so nice having cuddles with bubs...I'm loving sleepign together overnight. I never did it really with Louis because everyone warned me that I would "spoil him" and stupidly I listened...if only I could turn back the clock...
Erin - Sorry to hear bubba's playing up again now that dh's back at work! Always the way...Yeah on the great sleeps!! Presents - maybe some Fisher price little people?? Food/kitchen play sets??? Crafts - play doh/crayons/paints etc...
Caro - Wow Caro - I'm so glad you're enjoying your little man so much! It is always a tough time those first few months - especially with another one to look after! It is so fantastic when you get to enjoy the fun moments with them now - smiles and giggles! Congrats on the weight gain! Sounds like the sleeping's going super well also!
Christy - So glad Hazels going along so well! Hope you have a great weekend away!
Omg...I've written an epic - chat later!
haha Kristie on wireless :p
Great to see you guys too.
I have a HUGE breakthrough over here! Yesterday morning Mason fell asleep in my arms and I put him down on my breastfeeding pillow and he was on his side. I expected him to wake up immediately like every other time...
Instead he slept for 3 hours and then i had to wake him to go out! he slept yesterday arvo for 3 hours and again this morning for 3 hours too! all on his side.
Kristie: have you tried putting Dylan on his side?
Remembering Mason would not sleep longer than 15 or 20 mins in a whole day if he wasnt in the HAB or car...gosh this is heaven!
Hi!
Danni - No I haven't...I'm just not comfortable with it in case he falls on his tummy...
Thats great that it's working for you though...probably better for his wind! I'm certain as his wind settles down that Dylan will sleep for longer as well...At the moment I just have more of a routine of feed, play, sleep, play, sleep...
It was so nice...the PIL have a spa bath so I had a bath with Dylan tonight and then dh got him out and dressed and I had a bit of a spa on my own! So nice! MIL cooked up a storm as well - it's been so nice just to kick back with the kids and not have to worry about chores as such. I've just been playing with them all day!
Chat later..
Hey there girls, I agree with Caro. Get a sleep positioner - some bubs just love it on their side. I found it often got Charlie to sleep better on his side & it helped me to pat his bottom when trying to settle him in his bed. I've also used a big soft teddy, nestled it into him so he wouldn't roll over & at the same time he thought he was getting a cuddle & would sleep for ages.
Kristie I am sooooo jelous, sounds like you had a great time and are all relaxed. Going to the hairdressers alone last week is the only relaxing I have done in ages:( Good to hear you enjoyed yourself.
Living so far away from our families & close friends is often hard but the PIL are coming to visit in Oct & I can't wait. Will be heading out for a night alone with DH for sure!!! Then my best friend arrives the week after so I'm very excited about that. It will be over 6months since we've seen them.
Anyone know whats good for constipation, the formula Charlie is on seems to be the worst for this & the poor little man is struggling. I always wondered how I'd know if he was, but its very obvious I feel very sorry for him:(
Hope you all had good weekends.
Erin.
Hey Erin,
I read somewhere on here that cooled boiled water and brown sugar is good, if you want to go natural (not sure on how much brown sugar tho). Otherwise there is coloxyl which is available at the chemist... if there is one near you! Where abouts are you, if you dont mind me asking?
Cheers
Melissa
Hey Mellissa,
We recently moved from SA to WA. We live in Newman a mining town 500k South of Port Headland. We are 450k from the nearest town!!! sometimes that's a little frustrating - but ebay has become my best friend.:lol:
There are a lot of people here & the town is very well structured & there's lots to do with babies as there are heaps here so I can't complain. I just miss my family, especially my Mum, and especially when I have a bad day with Charlie.
We head to perth in 4weeks for DH work & I will be hitting the shops, can't wait!!!
I had heard about the brown sugar, but same as you I'm not sure how much.
Thanks Caro I'll go check with the chemist.
Wow what an adventure Erin... I would miss family too. Good luck with the constipation. Maybe try google the brown sugar info.

Hi!
We're home! Had a great day today...got a sleep in - Dylan fed at 8.30pm and then not again until 5am! Then he slept with me until 9am!! I got tonnes of sleep! Then we just chilled out...looked at a block of land up there (we're hoping to move in the next couple of years or so) which was just gorgeous. 8 acres with some bush and a little creek. Perfect for the kids to have fun on and eventually get motorbikes and have animals!
Erin - Sounds like you've got some great plans for when your PIL come over. Wow at such a big move! Makes ours not seem so big! hehe. Our move is only 1 1/2 away from where we are now! hehe. Not sure about constipation - just water I think...
Chat later!
hey guys, went to the pumpkin patch sale today. Gosh I could spend thousands in there!
Mason was so good today until this evening.
Does antyone else find their bubs are very unsettled around dinner time EVERY night? Probably just mine lol
Had a low supply of milk today so gunna express more than normal over night.
good night everyone xx
Time for a new thread :D
