Misty - congrats on getting your P's!!! Do you have your own car yet?
The big news here is that M is teething!!! I was feeling around her mouth earlier and there it was a little sharp edge. She isn't showing any symptoms at all so I would have totally missed it. She is now pulling and biting at the nipple and it really hurts. Me thinks we'll be weaning very soon!
Made up the cot so I'll try her out in it tomorrow.
Hi Ladies,
Just wanted to pop in and let you know that my little princess Lucinda arrived 6 weeks early on Jan 27th and may I add totally perfect and quite easy to spend all day totally admiring her !!!! so smitten with her lol ( so is her dad lol )
I can't believe that your bubs are 6mths already wow time does fly !!!!!
You ladies were the drive behind us trying for our little princess... so Thankyou to all you lovely ladies ( you know who you are )
mrz - so happy to hear of little Lucinda's arrival even if a little early. Enjoy your babymoon and believe me before you know it she'll be 6 months too.
Oh Em.....CONGRATUALTIONS LOVELY LADY!!!!!! WELCOME TO THE WORLD LITTLE LUCINDA!!!! Im over the moon for you and your DH darling, the news brought a tear to my eye and has made my day. Enjoy your little princess hun, and I LOVE the name!!!!
Misty - I'm hearing you. It's hard sometimes with 3. My DD has just started school and if anything, it makes our days more hectic with the drop off and pick up! Hope you get over this hump soon Congrats on getting your Ps! I was a late bloomer too, I didn't get mine till I was about 22 I think.
Saffi - Happy 6 months to Immy! Good luck with the cot transition, we are already in our cot but thinking of moving him into his own room soon.
mrz - Congratulations on the arrival of your little girl
TK - How did your appt go? I hope you are feeling better soon. Motherhood is a huge adjustment for everyone, so be kind to yourself.
Trish - How's the Safe-t-sleep going?? How is Joel liking school?
We are doing well. Still not having great nights around here but it has improved slightly over the last week.
Question for those with good day nappers - how many naps is your bub having now? We are still doing 3 but I'm finding the timing isn't working well any more. He wakes at about 7-7.30am and I get him up for the day because we need to get ready for the school run. We get home at about 9.15am and he goes straight down for a nap, usually sleeps till about 10.30-11.00am. So then he's ready for another nap 2 hours later, generally about 12.30pm-1pm. This is where it gets hairy....he generally wakes at around 2.30pm but sometimes as late as 2.45pm. I have to wake him at that time in any event to get to school to pick DD up. But then if I want him to have another nap before dinner, he has to go down by 4pm (4.30pm at the absolute latest) and I wake him by 5pm if I want him to go down well at night. Problem is, he's just not ready for another nap at 4pm most of the time, but going from 2.30pm to 7pm is too long to stretch him out The last two days he has woken from his second nap at about 2pm so has gone down for his last nap OK (sleeping from 4-5pm). But then has been very hard to settle for bed that night. Today he woke at 2.45pm so I tried to put him back down at 4pm (so he'd only been awake 1 hr 15 mins) and didn't want a bar of it. I tried for about 1/2 hour then gave up.
I think it's just one of those awkward phases where he is not quite ready for 2 naps but doesn't always need 3
Em - Congratulations on the arrival of little Lucinda What a beautiful name!
Saffi - Yay for a tooth! But unyay for biting E has been a bit of a biter too, but has finally got the message that its not OK thank goodness. Good luck with the cot too, we haven't had much with ours LOL
Misty - Yay for getting your P's! And sorry to hear about the kids, my DD1 was the same over the holidays too, really bratty at times. But she has improved out of sight since school started so hopefully yours will too.
tk - So glad you found a supportive GP Hope you are feeling a bit better now.
Cheezel - Hope the solids went OK and yay for the sleeping! Sounds like the swimming was a hit LOL same here - its so cute you're right.
Issy - I managed to find one of those mesh thingies the other day, wasn't even looking for them at the time so I was very excited LOL
Hi Melly and welcome!! And hi to Trish and Ellee and anyone else I've missed
AFU, happy 6 months to E for tomorrow We are starting solids on the weekend too, I thought I'd just wait and do it then because week days just seem to be such a rush ATM. I know I'll have to fit it in somehow, but want to take it easy the first couple of days KWIM? She looks like she is ready - she is fascinated with watching us eat and loves sitting up at the table with us - so hopefully she will go OK.
The kids have been good today (mostly ) So hopefully they are over the stint of rattiness (lnock on wood).
Willow - Well at least I managed to get my liscence before my 28th birthday in April, I am actually loving driving everywhere. As for the day sleeps, we are having similar problems - Baz has around 3 sleeps a day, but there is no consistency as to when or for how long, and lately he has been wanting a sleep around 6pm which messes up the night time sleeps. Mind you, it doesn't help that DS1 likes to sneak in and wake him up to "play" whenever I do get him down.
Megsmum - Yay on starting solids. I have started them, but always forget, so he will go 2 / 3 days between having them. The other night after we all ate dinner, I had Baz in the highchair and was making up some rice cereal - when I came back I discovered he was covered in chocolate. My DS1 had decided to share his milkyway with the baby. The rice cereal didn't have a chance after that. So one of my baby's first food was a milkyway: DD didn't try chocolate until 18mths, DS1 was 12mths and now DS2 had chocolate at less then 6mths.
Saffi - they generally grow out of the biting the nipple very fast (particularly if it means the boob it taken away when the do it). But "ouch" it's not fun is it.
Well, Baz is definitely sick at the moment. Poor bubba. He is all clammy, red eyed and runny nose. He is a little clingy at the moment too - wants mummy.
Will be back for persies a bit later girls xx
Just had to congratulate Em on the arrival of Lucinda (one of my fav girl names ) I am so happy for you and so glad she is healthy! Just wonderful! Rach xx
