Babies Born December 2007 #15

[Liz]

We havent' been in cloth for a little while now. I just wasn't keeping up with the washing - they just don't dry in winter I absolutely HATE buying sposies tho Such a waste of money. I keep meaning to put Kayla in cloth again, but if there's sposies here, I use em! And we decided to have Tallon in sposies now until he's trained.. which is slowly happening. I'm not really consistent enough LOL. I spose if I stuck him in undies I'd HAVE to be consistent. Pullups cater to my laziness as much as his!

I did find that Bamboo Baby Beehinds were the only ones that would last all night. I had to boost them for Tallon, but not for Kayla.

morgan: Just plain old roast chicken tonight Was pretty delish actually.

Liz: Tallon will get it eventually He is only just over 2. My friends daughter who was here today was 2 in December and she isn't trained or anywhere near it.. Ick for the poo i got today though but hey they all get it eventually...

I'm tired! I haven't even bathed the kids yet *sigh* I thought I would wait till Simon got home from work.. but once he did he mucked about doing things and is only just in the shower now agh.. I wanted the kids in bed by 7,, I think I can still do it lol.. Oh and Olivia went to bed WAY to early for my liking.. 6. I am so hoping she wakes up soon..

Oh my goodness.
When did this move so fast???? I'm 4 pages behind. Will try to do my homework tomorrow & catch up with you all... he he he...
Feeling happy tonight. had a 1.5 hour nap with dd (when I thought she wasn't going to sleep at all) what a lovely surprise. Should really go to bed before this blissful feeling wears off.

nappies ...
hey, we like the tots bots fluffies for overnight (tho I must confess, Ella's been in sposies o/night mostly lately - long story). They soak up heaps & don't leak, and if I'm really keen she goes in wool soaker (MIL knitted) or fleece soaker or a bbh wool cover. I just don't get how they work, but they do
Sorry if I've missed something crucial in that topic ...

nice!! I would kill for a day nap..

I am so sleepy but am already recording something and I am really interested in House tonight.. aaghh.. Make my eyes stay open another 40 minutes.. lol.. I am so going to regret this when Olivia wakes tonight

[aussienic]

Knew I would regret staying up GRRR.. Olivia woke at 12:30 and was awake till 2:20. I am so unimpressed. I even told her off well how you tel a 6 month old off. i said thats enough go to sleep and she was so good she laughed at me and blew raspberries She was SOOOO super happy..

ugh.. Was meant to go out for a coffee today but I don't think I can be bothered, Feeling disheartened.. All my work I did yesterday and nw my lounge and kitchen are a huge mess and I "have" to do it..

Geez I can't keep up

Will be back later to reply to everyone.

Buzzie - I saw you and Ash on TV too. You have a wonderful little boy there. I use MCN during the day and I am looking into night nappies because Loren is a heavy wetter overnight. My SIL swears by Krap Katchers for overnight.

Nic - I have been having some cr@p nights with Loren too. I was up 6 times last night, mind you she is teething and she does have coughing and a stuffed nose. It is doing my head in too.

Haroula - Way to go on Chrissie's eating. As long as she is still having 4 180ml bottles a day then that is ok. I wish Loren was interested in food, she just refuses!!!

Buzzie/LoriRae - Don't worry about your boys not saying ma ma, my DD1 did not say it until she was 7 months and she can talk under water now. Although Loren is saying ma ma..but only when she is frustrated

Did I mention I hate moving!!!!! Only 2 more sleeps in my first little home. It will be sad to go, because I got engaged, married and bought my babies home in this house.

I have read somewhere on here some of you giving your sick little bubbies Dimetapp? To help them clear up the congetstion to let them sleep.

Obvously we would all prefer if we didn't give them any sort of drugs as such buth my little girl is so blocked up it is proving very difficult for her to breath and sleep.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!! Hope everyone had a good night, not much sleep here due to bubies cold.

[aussienic]

I would hate to move from my house too.. I hope the move goes smoothly though

ETA: cus we posted at the same time....

KTS: I personally wouldn't give dimetapp at this age. I don't even know what the age recommendation for it is. If her nose is blacked grab a Fess noses thing from the chemist and try and clear it that way.. Its orrible when they are so blocked up isn't it

Just googled and it can't be given under 2 except with medical advice.. Have you tried baby vicks or a humidifier?
