Cass - Yeap hard to believe our munchkins are nearly one, bizarre!Let us know how you go with the milk. Hpe the rats have taken a hike for you. And I so know how your mum feels, think I might have done almost as much crying as Lucie
Tracey - Sounds like you are still mega busy at work. Rest up if you can honey!
Hi Kel - Wow now only 8 days....how time flies!
Rae - thanks for the encouragement! Unfortunately it has been 'bad' habits that have led to this. Wanna come and do my washing for me?
Hi Mel!
Brooke - Yeap I caved in yesterday with the dummy - think it's just far too much for the munchkin. Is Charli any better today?
Hi Fletch - did you finish wrapping all the pressies?
Jo - 4 kids is an awesome effort if you ask me!!!!
Well still a stressful house here. This is soooooooooooo tough. Lucie was exhausted yesterday. She had been awake since 3.30am and still refusing to self settle at day sleeps. She had half an hour in her pram all day yesterday and that was it. So by 4 she was knackered. She was in bed about 5.30pm - too tired to even eat much dinner at all and asleep by around 6. I only went into her once all night (she woke with a little cry a couple of times but self settled) and that probably needn't have been done, she managed to get herself back to sleep in her exhausted state. Poor mite is falling asleep sitting up though and then leaning forward over herself IYKWIM. I went in and moved her a few times. She woke just before 5am so I gave her her bottle then. Only about 140ml still and it's the only milk she has now (I try and sneak cheese in all her meals to make up on the calcium). But instead of putting her back to bed (she has just been screaming) I will try and keep her up now until breakie around 7 and then nap around 9am. Sooooo hoping she starts getting the idea of daytime naps otherwise she will be permanently tired!Then I'm hoping to extend the morning wake up til around 6 with bedtime around 7pm.
Oh Soph you poor thing ...I am sending big hugs to you . You should be very proud at how strong you are being and it sounds like you are confident in your choices. Half my problems is I always doubt my choices and i am sure our little ones pick up on that!.Be strong as you are doing the CC in a kind why and that is the only thing you can do .
Kaitlyn does not grind her teeth ..although she does not have enough to do it yet hehe. I grind mine when I am stressed ..so does my mum...so I am sure she will to !.
Well the rats were quieter last night so I think some of them have "taken the bait " hahahah pardon the punn!. Still heard a few though but it was not unbearable and we could sleep through it.
I have been spending the morning childproofing the house as Kaitlyn wants to be everywhere!. Moved glass coffee table , removed EVERYTHING from TV unit and I am going to fill it with things for her like old remotes and Magazines so she feels like she is getting something adult. Plus moved speakers and cables ect ect. Man there is so much to do ..everytime she moves I think of something else!.
Well better be off , we are going to the shops to buy Kaitlyn a new sunhat for her second day at daycare tomorrow
Hope you all have a gr8 day - sending you lots of calm baby sleeping vibes Soph...and hugs to you to !.
oh Cass thank you! And believe me I am not that confident in my choices, lots of tears from me too! She just refuses to sleep in her cot during the day, nights have been (touch wood) ok. Will ring Tresillian again this arvo and see what they say. Do you think Kaitlyn is liking child care? Good on you for childproofing everything too - will make your life a lot easier.
