Hi!

Well the kids are doing really well but I'm still sick! grr. Had such a full on week though with dh working heaps so have had to have been sick and do a whole lot of extra stuff I'd normally have help with.
But - we had a much better night last night! Thank god! Dylan went to sleep - had his normal grizzles 40min later but settled straight back down then stirred around 10.30pm, stirred at 2amish and then fed at 4am! Stirred one more time until 7am!!! The best thing was though that he stayed in his cot the whole night! Woohoo!
I also got to go out and have my 1h massage last night which was bliss!
A big day with today with my sisters tbs@h party and a few odds and ends I need to do.
Oh and Dylans fully moving all around the floor of our lounge room. He just rolls around and wriggles forwards to his toys! I can't believe it! I really think he'll be crawling before I know it!

Kel - Glad you're well - but tired! Urgghh I'd die if Dylan was up at 5am! Thats tough - hope she starts to sleep in again soon - it's hard with it getting lighter in the morning earlier as well at the moment...

Iona - Wow on the teeth! Thats amazing! Glad you guys are well!

Melissa - bugger the harness needs to stay on longer...oh well - it's all for the greater good!! I know you'll be so excited to get rid of it though!
Hope Lily's settled for you a bit...it's so hard when they're like it and you don't know what it is! Glad the avocado went well!

Danni - Yeah for getting an extra hour's sleep in! You're very quiet at the moment.

K - better go...Louis has filled his nappy! hehe.

[Danni]

well done dylan!

Im quiet cos im really struggling atm. Mason is just so clingy, and always crying atm.

Last night I was up every hour with him. I have constant migraines and just not coping.

Off to sleep school next weekend and praying they can help us

[Krisvee]

Hi!

So sorry to hear that Danni! I'm sure sleep school will be really great for you guys!! Keep your chin up and keep trying to get as much rest as you can. I promise it won't last forever even though I know it feels like it sometimes!! Big hugs!

[JenSam]

G'day!
Beau must be feeling better cause he is back to his old self today (at the moment) I do think it's teeth but and that might explain the snotty nose too. Arent they suposed to be linked? I have been putting Bonjela on his dummy and gums and it seems to give him some relief...

Danni - sorry you are feeling so low - its so tough when you cant put bubs down without them crying - do you think it might be Mason's teeth? Can DH take him for a few hours this weekend so you can have break?

Kris- Sorry you are feeling sick, how good is a massage? As soon as my face planted on that table I was almost asleep before she even started!

Iona - Go Luke! What a star!

Mel - Bummer on the harness - but better now than problems later - hopefully it will be off for the really hot weather fingers crossed x

Kel- That seems to be my wake up time too - every morning tho now I can settle him in my arms and jump back into bed for 1/2 to an hour with him- I know if Sunrise is on - its not TOO disgusting an hour to be up!!!

Got some of the organic vanilla stuff today and a sweet potato and an avocado - a few new taste sensations for Beau Beau!
Sorry if I forgot anyone but my computer is slow today and the posts are across two pages - so much to fit in my brain!

[Iona Macca]

Danni, it might be his teeth moving which is causing him to be clingy. Luke was the same when his teeth came through especially when they cut thru the gum and the constant waking up even when he was in bed with us

[Danni]

thanks guys.

well this morning dh took mason out into the loungeroom and I got an extra hours sleep. But now I have a headache and feel yuck.

I cant win!

[tiffanny]

Well we've had a bugger. Phoebe has been up and down with her teeth. It almost came through and then I checked it the next day and it had gone down again Upside though is she has become so interactive. She has a real little giggle and has started to play with her bath turtle. She seems to have a feral hour in the afternoon where she goes nuts with her voice. Just wish her teeth would come through!!

She has gotten better with her sleep pattern (7pm-5:30 6am) and has gone to having 3 solid and 4 bottles a day. I cant believe she will be 6 months old on tuesday. Argh!

Hope everyone is feeling better.

[minimatron]

Happy 6 months to my little princess Olivia, the most beatiful girl in the world. I am so in love with her Last night she slept all night, from 1030 (when we got home) til 730 and has been happily playing in her cot while I have breaky. What a champion! We are getting weighed today then going wedding dress shopping .... so have a great day
Love Melissa

[MrsFabuloso]

Goodmorning ladies!

Happy month-day Olivia, hehe!! My goodness time it getting away from me....where has 6months gone? Before we know it we will be celebrating first birthdays. Beofre I know it I will be bakc at work...eeeekkkk!!!

Well I have been slogging away at my stupid assigment and I am almost finished thank goodness! I sooo can't wait until it is all over and I get my piece of paper (bachelors degree!). I'm really over it all. Lily has been an angel though and DH has looked after her uncomplainingly, though I still had to settle her, put her to sleep and feed her....all he did is play- all the fun stuff! Oh well at least I got time to do it all, well almost...
Last night Lily slept from 7.30 until 4.00 then until 7.10 WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of her! No 5am wake up! I really hope it stays this way now, I can't cope with the 5am mornings. I end up falling asleep sitting up feeding her by about 3pm. Even if it is 6.30 or so I could cope with that too, please oh pleeaase let it stay this way!
She's started rolling back and forth now. She could roll from front to back before, but now she rolls both ways. And she reaching for EVERYTHING! She loves the creams and wipes on the change table, she cant grasp them yet but that;s only a mstter of time! I willhave to find a new home for them. She also loves my hair I have to wear it up all the time now or she ends up tearing it out. Little monkey.
We have been persevering with the solids, but she still isn't too impressed with it. I have given her some vitabrits with formula and pears for the last few days and she has eaten that more than anything (only about 2 tsp!) so maybe she's getting more used to it? I will just keep on keeping on!

Melissa, grr at the harness staying on for longer. At least it's only 8 weeks, I hope it comes off next time. OOOhh lucky you with Olivias sleep! Good luck with your wedding plans and above all have fun, I remember when I did mine it was so much fun and so exciting!

Kristie, sorry to hear you've been sick. I hope you're feeling better now. You've had a tough few weeks with illness huh? Lucky you getting amassage. I can't wait til I can afford another one. I will have to save .

Danni, sorry to hear you've had a tough time. Maybe Mason's teething? Or its a growth spurt? I hope he's settled for you now. Are you able to leave him with someone for a few hours and have time for you, go get a massage, hehehe!! Maybe that will help with the migranes?

Tiffany, I hope Pheobe has been a bit better for you. I know how it feels with disappearing teeth, we've got two that just will not pop out. I feel the tip of it one day then the next day its gone. It must hurt them so much poor little mites.

Ok gotta go my princess is calling. Hi to everyone else I missed I hope you a your bubs are well

[christyb]

Well Hi Everyone! We've been mia for a while. I wrote a longish post last week and yet again the darn 'puter ate it. We've been having problems with it and i",m at the library right now. Hazel is trying to do some typing too!

All good for us. Hazel is wonderful, sleeping well and a really happy little girl.

ok, she is grizzling now, so better go, anyway we are alive and well.

[tiffanny]

Shots day today. I know she needs them but I hate having to put her through it.

Kel - I know what you mean bout the 5am wakeups, Phoebe was doing that before she went into her current sleeping routine. Most mornings now she wakes around 6ish I think its got alot to do with steve being up and getting ready for work.

[tiffanny]

OOOH miss phoebe is not a happy camper! It's the worst Ive heard her scream, my poor little princess.

Quick question for you all-you dont have to answer if you dont want to tho- I had Phoebe 9 weeks early and she has always been a little behind in measurements, I was just wondering what everyone elses bubs weigh? With Phoebe it's not so much hc and length just her weight. She is 6.7kgs.

[MrsFabuloso]

Lil is probably 8kgs by now. Last weigh in she was 7.7, which was about 4-5 wks ago.

[Krisvee]

Hi!

I haven't been on in ages - I'll try and catch up as much as I can!

I'm finally starting to feel a bit better - I haven't been that sick in ages!! The kids are well which is great!
We had Louis' 2nd B'day party last Sunday which went really well! He had a ball and blew out the candles all on his own!!

Dylans being a bit of a monkey with feeds etc. I've been tempted to give him a formula bottle at night but haven't done it yet...He's still on 5 feeds - 4 hourly through the day and then 1 overnight - usually around 3-4am in the morning. The main prob is he's waking up every 2 hours roughly though although the other night I got 4 1/4 hours straight sleep - woohoo!

Tiffany - What a great routine your in! 4 bottles and 3 solids is great for 6 months! Phoebe's weight sounds good - I don't think Dylan would be over 7kg. I get him weighed next on the 16th!

I'll be introducing Dylan to an extra solids in the next couple of weeks. I'm also excited to start expanding his menu - I'm just soo worried that he may have allergies since he's got ezcema!

Melissa - Wow! How great do you sound! What a good little girl sleeping so well! Wow! How did your wedding dress shopping go?

Kel - Yeah at Lily sleeping so well! And nearly getting your assignment done! Well done! LOL at all the mischief - Dylan's just the same! He's getting around heaps - he keeps sticking his hands in his dinner/brekky as well and grabbing everything! hehe.
We can't afford the massages - but we keep booking them in anyway! hehehe.

Christy - Glad that you could jump on! You sound really well! Thats great!

Aren't our babies getting so big?? They are just so gorgeous now - really turning into little boys and girls not just newborn babies anymore. You can get through all the grizzles and sleepless nights just knowing we have happy, healthy little bubbas!! Go and give them all a big hug (which I know you all do a million times a day anyway!) This is just my little reality check message (even though I'm the only one complaining lately with us all being sick - LOL!)
My poor friends bubba is still in the hospital having seizures - she's nearly 1 month old now and they don't know what's causing it or what the treatment will be...so so sad. I haven't caught up with them as they're not taking calls and I just can't imagine how tough this time has been for them.

On that note...Chat later!! Hopefully a few of you jump on soon!

[MrsFabuloso]

HI everyone,

Well I finally have the pleasure of telling everyone that Lily has grown her first two teeth!!!! WOOOHOOO! She's such a clever little chicken It's the two bottom teeth, so not the pointy ones like I thought it would be. I knew she was teething she's had red rosy cheeks for a week or so on and off and has been drooling like a tap and chewing anything with in reach of her mouth, but I thought it was the pointy ones as they are still red and swollen. But when I looked today it was the bottom two which had popped through. I was soo excited, hehehe!
Her sleeping has been pretty atrocious, I was up at 4.30 am yesterday for the day and I didn't get to bed until late cause I had to finish my assignment for uni. She woke at the same time again this morning and I was NOT happy, but I got her up and brought her to bed with me (dh was at work- he won't let her in our bed for fear of squishing her...) and gave her some booby and she went back to sleep until 5.30, I gave her the other bb and she slept until 6.50. I was so excited, hehe. Hopefully now her teeth have popped out she might start to sleep better again. I don't want much, going to bed at 8ish, only one wake up at night and getting up after 6.30...that's all I ask for!! I mean in an ideal world she'd sleep through until 7.30 every morning and go to bed at 8pm but I don't think that'll happen for a while- If ever! LOL!!

Christy, it sounds like you and Hazel are going along really well. Thats great!!

Tiffany, I hope Pheobe is ok after her shots now, and I wish you all the best with her sleeping. Maybe she'll pop out some teeth soon too?

Kristie, great to hear from you! I am glad that you all feel better now, you had a bit of a rough time. Happy birthday to Louis too! And yes our bubs are getting sooo big, it's all going too fast if you ask me, LOL! Even after a grizzly sleepless night, that one 'goodmorning Mummy it's so great to see you' smile in the morning will melt my tired grumpy heart every time! I hope your friends bubba is ok, how horrible to have to see your baby go through something like that. I hope things take a turn for the best.

Ok this post has taken me about an hour to write and it's time to put my little monkey to bed.

Hello to everyone I have missed, hope we all get a great sleep tonight! NIght night...

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Kel - Wow on the 2 teeth! Go Lily! Hope you get some more sleep!

[minimatron]

Hey All... wedding dress shopping went great, i found what I was looking for My sister suprised visited me from Perth, so have been busy catching up with her. Olivia got weighed and shes 7.5kgs, only popped on 385gms this month, and is 65cm. She also had her needles and cried a bit, but shes doing well.
Wow Kel on Lilys teeth, it must be a relief for them to finally come through. Hopefully she will sleep better now.
Glad you are feeling better Kristie. Happy birthday to Louis. Prayers to your friend and their baby, it must be terrible. Good luck on the food. Olivia is terrible with her breakfast, she wont eat banana, farex or avocado and is hardly touching her morning bottle. But she does enjoy her evening meal. So far we have only got to try her with potatoes, which she gobbles up and tonight she tried pumkin...yum yum. I will give her some sweet pototoe in a few days. I dont know what to do with the morning though...
Wow on Phoebe having 3 solids a day especially with her being 9 weeks early... thats great.
Well I should go... Adam is in bed, he gets up at 4am these days starts at 6am til 6pm and gets home by 7. I am a work widow at the moment!
Take care
Love Melissa
