oh Lori what a horrible day for you! I would say that good new on the BFN but i guess youll keep us posted if it changes.
Hope you get a better night tonight ...
What a horrible experience.. I hope Ty settles down for you.. May I make a suggestion. just lay down with him during the day. Get on top of the sleep issue by getting him to catch up on some sleep and you too and then work on the settling issues.. I have found with my kids they get harder and harder to settle the more tired they are.. (steps down on the ideas now )
Congrats on the BFN lol.. fingers crossed it stays that way (if thats what you want)
Hey Lauren.. Loving the new pic of Asher..
I have had a pretty tiring day.. Olivia whiny on and off.. Isaac sick with headaches. They hit him hard today Jacob annoying the heck out of me, he isn't feeling well but won't sit still. Ethan was great.. He went out riding with his mates.. and they all came here aagghh. 4 extra kids today lol..
LoriRae I hope you get a good night sleep and everything is better tomorrow.
OMG, I feel like I have a newborn again! Monique has been waking up every night for about 4 weeks now and I am a tired mummy. Usually she wakes 3 times and has a feed at least one of those times and a nappy change. Very rarely I am up only once for a feed. This is a shock to the system after having her sleep through from 6 weeks old. Oh well, I knew it couldn't last but when will she sleep through again?
We started solids a couple of weeks ago and she is getting into it now. She is still not sure about carrot, not even with apple in it. I have a poo question. Monique has really thick, sticky poos and has made her bottom quite red (she has never had a rash before). Are they supposed to be quite thick? We were getting worried because she took days and days to poo after she started solids.
Olivias poos are the same.. I think solids have something to do with it.. and same with the rash.. she gets a red bum but I am not sure if it is from the constant wiping or the poop...
Hi all,
Ok. Had a cry and a mars bar and a cup of tea and Ty is finally asleep so feeling better now. I was, despite my whinging, a little bit dissapointed when I got the BFN- but today has reminded me why I really don't want another baby just yet!
Nic- Hope the other 2 go down easily. And I hope Issac and Jacob both feel better soon.I do lay down with Ty during the day and we co sleep at night. Up till now tha's worked really well. He fed heaps at night but I could handle that. But now he just screams when we try and put him to sleep during the day no matter what I do- pat him, hold him, rock him, feed him. So we get him back up (before he gets hysterical, beacuse he won't even cry himself off- just get to the point where he's sobbing so hard he coughs and hiccups). And he wakes up crying at night- doesn't want a feed or his dummy or a cuddle... just wants to cry don't know what's wrong with him. We're off to see the GP tomorrow and get him checked out.
I'm going to bed early and curling up with a good book (and probably Ty within the next hour or so).
Night all
ETA- Tinsel, Ty's poos are like that too (isn't it fun being a mum and getting to discuss all this glamarous stuff?)
Does he sleep on his tummy or back? I know sometimes Olivia is inconsolable and I just leave the room and she stops crying almost right away and goes to sleep within 5 minutes.. No Idea why she does that though
Lori - you poor thing and Ty too....give him a big hug from us too. I know that those methods do work for some people but you sound like us and its too heart wrenching to listen to them...plus they are only babies for such a short time. I hope Ty is better tomorrow...maybe his teeth are hurting him...i give Vicky a couple of the Hylands Teething Relief tablets which are a homeopathic remedy and it seems to help her. And fingers crossed for you that the BFN stays that way.
Tinsel - we've got those sticky ones too...might just be cause their systems are developing a bit more as Vicky doesn't have solids atm
Well its been an interesting couple of days as i just about lost my voice (horrid bad cold) and could only whisper at the kids...that was sooo much fun NOT! Anyway almost better now. Have put a couple of new pics up too.
Lori - You know we will all listen and send hugs anytime you want to whinge or vent - it is what we are for :-)
Morgan - Colds here too. Both Olivia and I have been sick and miserable. Last night was terrible for sleep as she was so stuffy nosed and kept waking. Tonight we have got phone books under the two top legs of her cot, hoping that the raised head will help her breathe better in her sleep *fingers crossed*
Tonight the little Miss had chicken and corn for dinner (we were having homemade chicken and sweet corn soup - yummy) and she absolutely loved it! It is the first time she has tried meat and I wasn't going to push it at all, but I didn't have to, she wanted more and more! Hopefully the full tummy also helps with sleep tonight.
Oh Lori - What a day *hugs*. Dunno what that nurse was thinking - if Ty is out of sorts, not sure why she would launch into controlled crying. Poor little man. Was Ty a refluxy bub? The nurse told me that teething can bring back reflux, so I just thought I'd put it out there as a possibility for the constant crying. Could be teething, reflux, development. I'm wondering if Kayla's unsettledness lately is due to being on the verge of crawling.
Well, Kayla is sooooo nocturnal these days. She's been up now for a couple of hours soooo happy and playing and rolling around the floor. I wanna go to bed! LOL. I've tried putting her down a couple fo times, but it's a no go.. she just wants to be up and playing. Hopefully she'll give me a few hours sleep when she does go down. But it seems to be this time of night that she gets her best play in.. No doubt she'll do her first crawl late one night. LOL.
OK, must go.. she's now on her own in the loungeroom coz DH has gone to shower.. and she's really getting around with this rolling!
