oh bummer Bec!

Just jumping on quickly so sorry for the lack of personals once again

This morning at 5.00am Jett woke up (which is unheard of in this house), and instead of crying for food or attention, he decided to try and help himself!!! He wiggled over to me and got in as close as he could and started searching. He still had his dummy in, but when he thought he may have found the right spot he would do some vigorous sucking!! Not the first time he has done this either. Last time it was later in the morning, but he wriggled over to me (imagine a worm cos he is still wrapped at night) and this time not having a dummy in he latched on to my arm and started sucking away!! And both times my boobs have started flowing and I have ended up with wet patches on the bed!!! His aim is still no good obviously, but mg: helping himself!! He'll never get there though cos I have to wear a bra to bed to stop the leaks!

Hi all

LOL at holding ice-cream for ransom

Squidipa, with the ice-cream maker its basically just cream and then depending on what kind of ice-cream you want, add chocolate or berries or fruit or vanilla etc. You can make frozen yoghurt too, though I've only heard that from someone who doesn't have an ice-cream maker so

Jazz has been an absolute horror, our nights are terrible, she's been waking at least 3 times a night, crying, won't settle without the boob no matter how hard I try (I spent an hour last night rocking her, patting her, walking around with her, with no luck ). Could be a wonder week, we're just hitting 19 weeks I think...

Ummmmm, what else? Dunno, my brain is mushy... I'm onto my second coffee, but I'm no more awake than I was when I woke up! *yawn*

Going to SILs for Christmas lunch. Can't think of another way I'd LEAST like to spend my day, except that she has a pool. Thats life though right? At least I don't have to cook or clean up!

Got a physio appointment on Jan 5 (did I say that already?).

Gonna go read some BB threads and then maybe clean something... BBL

ETA: PMSL MT, Jazz does the same thing (she's in our bed full-time now since her multiple wake ups started two weeks ago), rolls on her side and just starts looking for it LOL I have red patches where shes tried (but nothing has come out of my arm/cleavage LOL). Sometimes she gets it right (I sleep naked generally) but usually she needs a little nudge in the right direction.

[mountain mummy]

MT - LOL! It's scary that they are slowly becoming more independent! Veygas tends to pull on my shirt if I'm holding him and he's hungry!

Leash - for mushy brain hun! Hopefully Jazz settles down for you! Good luck witht he physio! Bummer about christmas, but yay for the pool!

Bec - 3 words babe - COPY AND PASTE!! If I do a long-ish post, I always highlight the whole thing and copy it, so if BB decides not to play fairly, I can always just hit "reply" again and then just paste the message in again!

Squidipa - thanks hun!

oh and
HAPPY FIVE MONTHS VEYGAS (for Sunday! lol!)

Better get these kiddies breakfasted

[squidipa]

happy 5 months veygas!!!!

[2girlz]

Hey everyone,
Sorry to hear you are having bad nights is Jazz cutting teeth? that would keep me up.

LMAO mid night snacks on tap what a crack up.

Allegra is sitting down chatting away to Cadence who is busy watching Jurasic park (this kid isn't scared of anything)

I'm super excited had a second quote to do the reno on our house MY WAY and it's under budget WOOOHHOOOOO DF is still hung up on his way which is $20000 over budget so better go do some measuring and plans

HAPPY 5 MONTHS VEYGAS!!!!!!

[Arimeh]

hi all

happy 5 months for V on sunday MM - and I LURRRVE your nappy - will have to PM you about something later

BYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

*mwah* to all

[thepixie]

supposed to be helping the Bear with dinner but just popped in to say
HAPPY FIVE MONTHS VEYGAS!!!!!
and MM for your awesome nappy making capabilities!

[beckoes]

MM: nappy looks great, i could never do that!!

Squidipa: thought g was thinning out a little, getting longer but not fatter. still not sure about the blotchy legs? asked my midwife friend and she didnt have any ideas!?

Leash: hope jazz is better tonight and you get a goos sleep.....

...talking of sleep, better think about bed myself. G had a bit of a shocker last night aswell, she is getting so mobile in the night that she wakes herself up, squashed against the sides of the cot or rolls over on to her tummy and squarks till i go in and right her!! four times + two feeds last night, luckily managed to get a sleep in this arvo.

AND!!!! Grace slept in her cot for all of her day sleeps, she was still sleeping in her rocker in the day but would wriggle around so much and get in the most stupid positions, she was abit shocked at first and it took me a while to settle but i think she was ready, no screaming...woohoo!!

anyway....off to bed.
