Sorry to hear your having a few bad nights Sash i was talking to another mother i met the other day and she asked is G was a good sleeper, i said ''yes, she is pretty good, she wakes up two or three times a night'' turns out this ISNT so good...her jaw hit the floor! she couldnt belive she still woke up that much at night...and that i thought it was good! Oh well, i dont mind so much. She told me i should use controled crying to make her sleep through the night....i just smiled and nodded. Think il try giving her water at night when she wakes, maybe she will get bored of waking up for water and not bother! till then its still 10(11)pm and 2(3)am.
Hugs MT & SB hope alls ok.
Mell, hope the web site is going well...good luck with everything!!
Ok...shower, breakfast, cleaning etc before the little munchkin wakes up! her temp is down now and she isnt so clingy thismorning. legs look painfull though.
I just want to say...even though im not really an Aussie, im so proud to live here and be an 'almost aussie' the way the whole country has pulled together and the feeling you get where ever you go, like you just know every one is thinking of the people affected by this, the money raised, the blood donated, homes opened to strangers and just the messages sent to the people in these areas.
Bec - Miss M wakes up (if she isn't still awake) for a bottle around 9/10pm and she wakes usually around 4. We stick the dummy in at 4 and that gets her through until around 6.30.
So I'd say your DD is perfectly normal - and I think Miss M is a great sleeper too. DS was a pretty bad sleeper - so I've had a bad one - believe me - THIS is good.
Been busy as per usual, have a lot of work going on and a lots to do with the house. Our pool was poured (concrete) yesterday and I have to go down twice a day to water it hehe, they are also doing all the gyprock on the house and it is locked up, so another step closer
N is doing great, she is consistently rolling from tummy ot back again which is great, but has stopped trying to roll the other way *sigh* one day....
We still give N a late feed at about 10:30pm, but unfortunately it has been me waking up during the night *SIGH* N has been waking between 6-6:40am with he first feed between 7-8am after the late feed. So I think we have a pretty good baby. I do the dummy in the early morning too. Once she has been on solids for another month we are going to bring that late feed forward, just 15min at a time for a few days, but is she starts waking at 5am we will go back to the previous time when she was sleeping longer. So I think it will be a while for us before she is "sleeping solidly" for 10 hours or so. A few mums in mothers group have had bubs sleeping through from very early.. lucky them
Huge Hugs MT, it must be so difficult where you are at the moment, I was looking at the images on tv last night and the ferocity of the fires is just hordendous, the matchstick trees, especially when the fire headed down a gully, the were all bent over as well, the power generated by that firestorms is just uncomprehendable.
I started donating blood about 6-7 years ago when I was working for the government and we were paid to do it, well just our time was covered. But I continued when I left, then after a while I switched to donating plasma. wish I could go back and donate my plasma, I used to go in fortnightly, if you don't know plasma is where they take the blood out, separate the plasma, through a machine and pump it back into your body, it take longer then donating blood and they take out more blood at a time, and the plasma can be used for a heap of different things. Where a blood donations can be done every 3 months I could do the plasma fortnightly But you need good veins for it a they need to stay open for a lot longer. Once I have finished bf'ing or cut back to 1/2 feeds a day I will be right back in there
Beckoes: Glad to hear that Grace's temp has gone down, N had pretty big lumps on her legs after the last lot of Imms.
Mel: looking forward to seeing your website up and running
Sasha: I hope the early morning wakeups stop for you quickly!!
MM : I agree about the looters - that is just sooo low grrr!!
Squidpa: It is fab to see the outpouring of generosity aroudnt he country, amke ya proud to be an Aussie
Vic, sounds like N is sleeping great! But I hear you on waking up yourself.... I have these full on dreams that wake me up, happened last night although Beth slept through... at least I didn't have to get out of bed though!
Sorry for no more personals, gotta get stuff done but BBL big to all
Bec - I would consider G to be a good sleeper ... my first literally woke every two hours and I was surviving on 2-3 hours sleep a night for a very long time! #2 and #3 woke a few times during the night, so I think I have earned a sleep-through baby!! Although he's been a bit off the last couple of nights - I think a combination of teething and his big brother throwing a toy truck at his head
Heard on the radio this morning that about 13 mill had been donated so far ... I wish I could donate blood, but unfortunately (besides having a baby and b/fing) I have anaemia and with all the low platelets etc during pregnancy, they won't let me anyway
