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!
Hi ladies,
Well we had a reasonably good night last night, so I can't complain this morning. Ty woke up when we went to bed at 10, then came into bed with us and fed once at about 2, then slept till seven. He's having a nap now but it was a 20 min screaming marathon to put him to sleep.
Nic- he sleeps on his side. If i leave him to try and go to sleep by himslef he just screams himself to the point where he literally vomits
Morgan- how cute is Vicky sitting up? not sure if it's his teeth, the chn doesn't think so but I'm not sure i trust her after what she did to Ty. Teething gel doesn't seem to help so
Alicia- that soup sounds yummy Ty loves his chicken too. Hope your colds get better.
Liz- hasn't had reflux. But I'm thinking that maybe the almost being about to crawl might have something to do with it, and the fact that he gets so frustrated with not being able to get the things he wants to get. Maybe wonder weeking? Do they have a wonder week at about six/seven months? I'm just telling myself this can't go on forever- it will only be a couple of weeks at most.
Hope you all got a goods night's sleep in. We're off to the GP's later today. I really don't think there is much physically wrong with him, but can't hurt to check.
LoriRae: Always a good idea to rule out anything.. As you said can't hurt to check
I can understand not leaving him.. I hate leaving olivia to cry too. I will leave her to whine but not cry kwim?
Well Olivia slept till 7 again so you would think I would have got 7 hours sleep. *sigh* I kept waking up.. Olivia yelled out in her sleep at 4 Jacob woke at 5 coughing and then Simon woke me at 6 when he got home from work...
Simon is on days off now so I can catch up on sleep if need be.. Or go to bed and leave him to play till midnight with his princess hehehehe
don't know what's wrong with him. We're off to see the GP tomorrow and get him checked out.
