Nic - you poor thing. Jacob "go to sleep"
Lori - woohoo. I'm so celebrating for you.
we're using the squeezy packet raffertys stuff. must get some more. might try some of the other stuff seeing as bubs like it.
Last night crappy here, awake for around 2 hours from 2 am. I think it was teeth. wouldn't re-settle in cot, wouldn't re-settle in cot in our room, wouldn't re-settle in bed with us. finally did the panadol thing, which takes ages & winds her up because the little miss has figured out that she doesn't want the dummy when we put drops of panadol on it (only way to get it in otherwise she spits it straight out no matter what we do). ho hum...
Lauren, just a word on the dairy. It's worth being strict with it. It takes a whole month for it to be completely out of your system. scarey I know. But it will be worth it. And it's so worth checking the packets of everything: whey, milk powder, milk solids, etc, etc. even bread, biscuits... If you want ideas for non-dairy products, let me know. sweet william does a chocolate spread too. way yummy.
feeling very weird here as dh has taken dd out so I can get some work done for school. I'm missing her and nervous of what's going to happen. they're off to the ils, which I'm a bit nervous about, but they're not too bad. Just MIL looked after her one day for me, and after I'd done the 'feeding' thing, I came home to find more feeding had been done (forced?) & then I had ella unhappy about the high chair for a while. altho I looked like a bimbo going 'whatever, we'll give it a rest now' there was actually a master plan of not creating a food battle! Oh well, I have to let go of being a control freak & get on with my work.
Hi all,
Nic- Gl;ad you had a nice early night. Probably very good for you
Lauren- Had to laugh at Ash hating the DVD player, poor little thing. It's bizzarre what freaks them out isn't it?
Jus- Ahh I totally understand. As you know, I hate leaving ty with the in laws. mil put honey on his dummy when he was 5 weeks old. And I've lost count of the times I've heard her say "chn?? world health organization? what would they know?". btw, want to go walking this week? We are un-gastro-contagious as of an hour ago (24 hrs from last runny poo). And did you still need a sleeping bag for Ella? Ty has just grown into his bigger one so I have one here that will fit her. It's blue but!
Just packed up most of Ty's size 00 colothes Awww, sad. And Jus I know you will be very jealous, but Ty actually fell asleep- with no patting, rocking, shushing or boob, on the lounge room floor- first time ever. Poor little thing must still not be feeling very well.
Jus - where is sweet william sold? i went to safeway today and couldnt find any chocolate, there was no decent health food shop so ill have to look somewhere else tomorrow.
Well FiNally he likes his DVD player! thankgod! i put his fav wiggles on and didnt hear a peep out of him all the way to and from the shopping centre! yay! well see how he goes on monday with the big drive to the new house!!
Lori - its so sad packing there clothes up for the next size, i know exactly how u feel! Im still can believe i have all 0's and starting to buy 1's already!!! i took 2 jumpers back yesterday that needed to be size 1 and it was so sad how big there were! i still have his 0000 even tho i think he only got to wear 2 outfits cos he was so big lol
Well had an exciting morning - Ash had professional photos done and they were absolutely gorgeous! im getting a huge canvas one of a set of 3 pics in the oldern day colour - not black and white but brown sort of, anyway he was sitting with this older style teddy that was the same size as him and it was one - him sitting both facing the camera, one him facing the teddy with his hand on it and the other was of there backs next to each other and omg it is sooooooooooooooo beautiful i almost cried!!! cant wait to get it!!!!! His eyes are sooo beautiful big and blue so i put him in blue clothes and the pics were just sensasional! i will have to scan then when i get them back to show everyone!
I really wanted to get this done asap cos i found out couple nights ago my grandfather whos in hospital is getting worse and worse, everything keeps failing and my grandmother even said she doesnt think hes going to come home from the hopspital! so my mum is going up there soon and i want to give them some pics, i dont know if ill get up there any time soon, so i hope i can before its too late!
Well better get packing i guess.... ahh crap..so cant be bothered!
Sorry I haven't been in for a few days. I actually read the posts and wanted to reply but I was so damn tired and hormonal. After a week of hell with sleep Loren finally had a good night and self settled a number of times....I so hope this continues.
I went pshyco yesterday and told DH I was leaving, then AF showed up. I really felt like an idiot after my explosion but after 5 nights with only 3 hours sleep per night I was done iykwim.
Much better today but DH is still scared of me LOL!!!!
My settling technique is working for Loren so I am to continue.
Nic - I hope you get a better night.
Lori - Glad to hear you guys are on the mend.
Trish - Hi stranger, good to hear from you.
Morgan - It is hard when DH goes away for work but you do get used to it. My DH only goes for a week at a time and I am ready for him to come back afer 7 days. Can you get a grandparent to do a day or two of relief for you?
Jus - Don't worry so much about the lack variety Ella is eating. Just keep re-introducing from time to time. If you are worried about variety for veg then mix it with friut or put it in another food she will eat. I struggled with my ils on certain issues as well, especially food!!! I stood my ground with them and did not comprimise and I think they have finally got it!!!
Buzzie - WTG on Ash's sleep. He is such a super baby!!! Sorry to hear about your granddad.
Where do I get the Raferty food from?
BTW Loren weighed in at 8.5kgs and is 72cms long!!! She is in the 95th percentile for weight and height..She doesn't look big to me but now I am worried that she is too big.
Hey Bekz, no wonder you were done! Doesn't hurt to put some fear into dh. Who knows, he might surprise you with something nice!
Rafferty's I just get from woolies/coles.
Same for the Sweet William lauren. in the organic section. If you're real desperate I'll send you some!!! he he he.
Bekz, what was your settling technique you were using again? WTG on the improvement.
No way is dd too big. if the weight & height match, then she's perfect. They need to put on as much weight as they can now cos when they're toddlers they can't consume enough in a day for what they expend. Ella's less than 10th percentile. That freaks me out a bit, but now that she's actually gaining weight i'm not going to stress. I think she's gotten chubbier in the last few weeks too.
Lauren, drooling over the sound of those photos. can't wait to see them...
Just have to jump in and say we've bought tickets to the Wiggles LMAO. The latest DVD we hired was a live in concert one, and both DH & I thought it looked like fun, so we bought some tickets. Unfortunately all the 'hot potato' seats are taken, so we'll be in the upper section of the entertainment centre, but I'm sure Tallon won't mind. He's not the type to get in the mosh-pit anyway LOL. The seats right in front of the stage don't look great anyway, coz they can't see the whole stage, and it'd be worse for the little kids. So yay! 20th December we're going to the wiggles!
