What is everyone doing at the moment re wrapping, sleeping bags or sheets/blanket?

I am still wrapping Veygas (although it is still quite cool here) and I also have a bottom sheet, top sheet (cotton, not flanelette - I hate it!) and a thermal blanket in the cot ... seems to do the trick though, cause I can put him straight in the cot while he is still awake and 99% of the time, he'll self settle and go to sleep, day or night!

Speaking of facebook I have a page and would love to have more friends (I always add new photos on there of the kids to) If you'd like you can PM me your email and I can add you.

I have a FB link in my siggie which should take you straight to my profile where you can add me!

Anyway, better make my house look mildly presentable before Pixie and Bear get here! LOL!

Have a good one everyone, and big HELLO's to all!!

Well I thought last night was going to be a shocker.

I bathed Seven with Lavender oil in her bath, gave her a nice massage, and then went to bed to feed her. She didn't want that. So, at 10.30 she fell asleep in my arms. I thought she would be due for a feed as her last one was at 8.20pm. I stayed up for a while, thinking that if I tried to go to bed she would wake up and it would be all over red rover, and we would start our nightly 11pm scream session.
Well, guess what? Seven slept with me (once I plucked up the courage to go to bed!) until 1.15am! That's almost 5 hrs! Then, just to prove that she is a good girl after all, she waited until 4.55am before her next feed!

I was ready to call an ambulance she's NEVER gone that long between feeds!!!! LOL

I also noticed today, that she is happy with the dummy instead of jumping straight on the breast at 2hrs after a feed, so this is AWESOME!

She is still a Velcro baby most of the day, but one thing at a time.

Hopefully tonight is a repeat performance of last night, even if she doesn't go 5 hrs, as long as she goes to sleep earlyish and stays that way between feeds!

Wish us luck!!!!


EDIT: Can you tell I'm pumped? Look at the amount of smileys I've used!!!!!! LMAO

CM4E - that is great news about Seven sleeping for 5 hours!! I know how you feel cause I was at that stage too a few weeks ago.
Some people may look at it as not a big deal but to yourself it is HUGE - well done!!

Speaking of sleeping Kye slept for like 3 hours this afternoon, now that is so NOT like him and even better it was in his cot.... omg couldnt believe it!!

He is sleeping again now in his cot which is way early for him. He usually doesnt go to bed till like 9-9:30pm but thought what the heck I will just leave him; he obviously wants to sleep - for a change LOL

MIL is here for another week (leaves saturday) so have a pretty busy week ahead trying to cram in as much time with her as I can.

Think I might start Post Natal Yoga next week and I'm also gonna look into joining a stroller walking group - theres a couple here on the Coast.....

Anyways must eat before I pass out.... and while the boy is asleep cause who knows how long it will last PMSL

Have a good night everyone!

Hey just a quick pop-in folks.....
We went up to the Blue Mountains over the weekend so that was fun. The weekend was completely frantic though, feel like I haven't stopped since Friday! Poor little Beth has been put in and out of the car seat so many times today it's ridiculous!
We got to meet Mountain Mummy which was great! Her kids are really cute and sooo well behaved! I took a few photos so I will post them... later!
I finally put up a photo album of Beth on Facebook - I have been wanting to do that for two and a half months! Anyway, the album is here if you want to have a look!
Kel I have added you.
Other Kel (CM4E) great to hear things are going so much better with Seven
Vic - we still wrap, then put her in the sleeping bag wrapped up and zip it up. Nightmare about the poo explosion! I have heard on the forums that huggies have gone downhill recently... but it sounds like it was a poo that no nappy could contain!
Great pics Leash
anyhoo hey to everyone, gotta run cause dinner's ready

[mountain mummy]

Pixie - I bet your weekend was hectic! And thank you soooooo much for visiting!! It was nice having adult conversation!! Oh and I didn't mean to offend Bear with my cooking comment, it's just that when someone as good as he is in the kitchen, it's kind of daunting thinking about preparing a meal!! I was even a bit worried about making a cup of tea!!

Thank you for your comment about our kids - we tend to think they could be better, but maybe that's just us!! LOL! Kaliah's pretty funny, she'll latch on to any new female in the house!! I think her and Khaemon were quite intrigued, having TWO babies in the house yesterday!! LOL!

Oh, and huge apologies for the state of my house!! Sadly, it is usually worse - sometimes I just can't fit all the housework I need to do into one week! LOL! But it is organised clutter - I know where everything is! hehehe

We got a couple of photos too ... I can't believe Veygas piked and fell asleep sucking my shoulder!! hehe He was so much of a velcro baby yesterday too - and proved he prefers mummy over daddy!

We kissed sleep goodnight last night - he woke twice for a feed, which he hasn't done in ages, but this time I think he was too hot (surprisingly it was quite a warm night, considering we had snow the other day!! LOL!!) Plus, he didn't get a bath last night as he slept right through bath time, so maybe that was another contributing factor to the waking ... oh well, you get that!

CM4E - Hooray for Seven sleeping!!! Well done!! Hope you had another good one last night!

Sasha - Wooooohooooo for Kye sleeping in his cot!! YAY!!!

Anyway, must be off to all! mwah! xxx

[Arimeh]

Morning guys!
OMG I didn't post all weekend - shock horror I know

So I got my car on Friday - woohoo!! Have to put the baby seat in it today, gotta go to the day care and hand in the enrolment forms. This time next week I'll be at work

Kell - I'm glad Seven seems to be improving. Must be a great weight off your shoulders honey.

Vic - yay on building the cot - you handyman you..

Sasha - holy moly he's growing well!! I think boys tend to put it on quicker that girls? But I could be mistaken.. hopefully Miss M is 5.5kg now (he was actually lighter in birth weight than Miss M was!!!) - but she's a skinny mini.. oh and she is on 5 bottles a day - usually 7.30am, 10.30, 1.30, 4.30, 7.30pm - then she will sleep through the night.

Squidipa - I'm not sure how much Miss M has grown - we don't really take too much notice of how much she is growing - we just suspect she is because the 000's are getting short in the body and legs for her.... but that could be because of the cloth nappy - that bulks them up a bit. Last measurement was 63 or 64cm - so I'm guessing she's probably around 65cm now? She is long and skinny though.

I'm happy MM and Pixie & Bear all got to meet - now it HAS to be my turn to meet Pixie and Bear.. lol.. I know I'll meet you MM when you move to the sunny coast Another lovely warm day today...

***** - DH just called from work - forgot to remind me that today was the day that the insulation people were coming around - lucky I hadn't left yet.. lol... had to quickly dash around the house to put some clothes on other than my Elmo pj's.. and do my hair to stop it looking like cyndi lauper in the early 80's!!!

Gotta fly.. think Miss M wants to be rocked to sleep again...
