Crumpet - Jacob has only in the last week started grabbing onto toys (with his knowledge anyway! He used to grab them by mistake sometimes...) But he's still getting the hang of it Summah sounds like she isn't far off it now either. Yeah we do have trouble with Jacobs day sleeps but not at night, thankfully. Day time I just have to be careful that I don't let him fight it for too long or he gets really difficult.
We've had a HORRIBLE afternoon.....poor little fella has the worst bruise from where he bled with his needle and he's got teeth trouble, four days of no pooping (till tonight - thank god), overtired etc etc.... needless to say he has NOT been a happy chappy this arvo...I went to go for a walk, got to the end of the street and he'd cried the whole time, then it started raining so I ran home...then had him continue to cry for hours. He finally emptied his bowels, had a lovely shower with his daddy and is now safe and sound sleeping in his bed speaking of lovely showers.........I'm headed that way myself, I need some MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE time. Sweet dreams all xoxo
Oh no Jules hope your shower was lovely - sounds well-deserved. I think the value in these baby groups is knowing that it's not just us having a crud week, it's all the other bubs of same age. No good on the bruise - I'm dreading our 4mth needles (well for DH anyhows!) as the clinic used to have a doc and nurse giving the needles simultaneously - so the bub would have one shock not 3 or 4 ITMS? they'd count down to simultaneous injections, and use small bore needles too. Now it's just the nurse and she does them all herself
More broken sleep for Will today - strangely it was the sleep in the capsule at the Kinder during the easter picnic that was the best, cause Pip was too busy playing with the other kids! Although I had a bit of an anxiety attack with all the noise. Did have a lovely feed where he drifted off to sleep on my breast, unfortunately though it was at 4:30 so tea was a bit late.
So he's currently on the playmat in front of the fire just zoning out, ready to go to bed!
Hey Kaz - That's exactly right. That's why I just adore all you lovely ladies!! I know that no matter what I say in here you know I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mum but like everyone else have my good and bad days....sometimes we just need a little vent. It helps that we're all going through the same things at the same time too I do know what you mean with the needles. They do that here, the town is REALLY small (only about 1500 people) so the health centre only has one nurse so they only offer the immunisation clinic on two days a month and she has to have a second person there incase of any emergencies and the second person helps with the needles also. I definately prefer that he gets them both at the same time...having one shock is much less stressful for both us and them!!! I hope everything goes ok with DH when he takes Will. Sorry to hear he had broken sleep but that feed sounds lovely...Hope he has a wonderful sleep for you tonight.
Ok, this time I'm really off to bed!! Night all xoxo (oh and PS, my shower was fab!!)
Still not well here, Harper has been a bit more lively today but still not keeping feeds down and this evening she has been in a lot of discomfort so i think her tummy must be cramping. Had a few really grose nappies too. Dr says we've got a mild case i dont want to see what a bad one is.
Just this weekend gone while we were away Harper got to have lots of floor time (because she was safe from her big brothers ) and she actually grabbed hold of a toy that was lying beside her and lifted it up to her mouth She was a very clever girl. She's also doing a lot of staring at her arm/fist and watching it as it moves. So cute to see her fascinated like that.
Gosh Jules Jacob is being a little cheeky one at the moment isn't he. You reminded me of the 4 month old injections. I forgot all about them. The busyness of three children has made me forget things i never normally would Just as long as i don't forget about my kids and leave them somewhere hey!?!?
PP love the new/preloved machine where did you get it?? I'd love to get one of my own soon and i had a look at your quilts, one day when i get the chance i'd love to attempt to make one of my own.
MadB how was your day today?
Crumpet and Charlotte i'm struggling to remember what you guys were up to from the last thread but i hope all is good and i will do my best to catch up when things settle for us.
bleedles! love it!
we're about to enter a new ice age here - 4-5 days under 30 degrees!
hmm. DS has just asked DH to bring him something different to drink because ther's a big scary rat in his water bottle...
Miri has a cold! Which explains the particularly bad sleep of late. Just snotty really, but she probably feels like crap too poor love.
Hello , jumping in, sort of missed the Belly Buddies and have come in to go straight to Baby Buddies! I had a premmie baby in December, he's full of smiles and very cuddley. I'm moving to Essendon shortly so will be a big move for us.
Just wanted to say hello hes decided hes not going to sleep tonight so procrastinating on forums inbetween tantrums
MadB to see a little one sick for whatever reason is terrible. I hope Miri feels better really quick. Enjoy the ice age
WinterRaven welcome How did you little man go last night?
Harper seems ok today so far... We got her to sleep after a 6pm feed and having a really sore belly after it. Then she woke about 8pm and brought it up again. After that she slept until 2am and fed with no vomiting. Fed again at 5ish i think and still no vomiting. Some yukky nappies and still a little uncomfortable i think but so far we seem to be doing better. She's sleeping now. Please be gone now
