Nic - thats a great pic!! wat a good idea to get underwater cam!
Hope olivia settles for you!
Tinsel - hows the pregnancy going? are u thinking its a sticky?? i dont know how long you wait to consider it a sticky. i found out at 4 weeks with ash and never thought about sticky lol... Hope u feel better soon
Hoody - is it mollys bday tomorrow??
Bekz - i dont think its bad what u do with loren, 'the nanny' does that too LOL
Oh Nic I can totally sympathise. We had a night like that too. DH was out and I was home on my own with a screaming baby who definately did not want to go to sleep. She had panadol, bongela, cuddles, time in bed with mummy and nothing worked - until DH got home I think she was wondering where he was and wasn't going to sleep until she knew. Very worried now as DH is going to be away Fri and Sat nights and I don't think I can stand the screaming like that 2 nights in a row
Nic, Alicia, Tinsel- I'm here with you too. We had a screaming fit that lased from 3am till 6am. Same deal as Nic- didn't want to feed, didn't want water, didn't want a cuddle, had had bonjela (and I really don't think he had sore teeth, I can usually pick that one). No pain in his belly. Just screaming. I couldn't even rock him off because he wouldn't let me hold him. Just wanted to sit ont he floor and scream. Made me so cranky.
Bekz- We tried that your technique once a while back and it actually seemed to be working well. But I got to the point where I couldn't stand the crying anymore, it was too stressful for me and i was just so tired after a couple of nights of it it seemed easier to just give in so I could get some sleep But it might be worth trying again. This is making us all miserable, even Ty- he is so overtired all the time because he is up so much at night and not getting proper sleep. If he was still happy, just waking up to feed then sleeping again, I could deal with that. But the child needs to learn how to sleep!!!
What i worry about some days is, what if this is still going on when he's a toddler and he can answer me back, and get himself out of bed? That will make it all so much harder. Some days I think we need to get the sleeping problems out of the way now, not later.
And then, other days, I am just too damn tired and can't be bothered dealing with any of it.
Well I no longer have a baby in my room I feel a little sad but I think the time had come.. She is asleep in her new room now.. and she looks like a big girl now
I am hoping this will fix some issues we have.. if not I will put her in the porta cot in our room as thats what she sleeps in when we go camping and she sleeps through
Hoody: My MIL does the exact same thing.. I have gotten tough though.. I say no she doesn't want to stay up and no she won't stop crying beause you have her
Alicia: ugh our Olivia's know how to push our buttons hey
Lauren: The camera is my SIL.. I am thinking about getting a water casing thing for Ethans camera..
Well I am finally relaxing this morning.. sitting out the front while the boys play in the shade.. the backyard is to sunny at this time of the day so its nice to be able to sit out here with them instead of having Olivia screaming at me
Yep Big day for Molly tomo i cant believe she will be one what happened to my bub. No really big plans tomo just going to the park for a bit in the morning. My mum will come up in the arvo. DH will be out and working so the real celebration is on Saturday. She is still grumpy and 2 of her bottom teeth either side of the very front 2 are almost through so i am assuming thats her prob. I hope she is a bit happier in the next day or so.
Nic- My MIL does my head in if she rings and the girls are crying or anything its "becasue they miss nanna" if they are happy its "because nanna is on the phone" and apparantly they stay up until they WANT to go to bed at her house and dont get grumpy the next day *sigh* Well let me tell you DD1 is a monster today as she is normally in bed by 7pm latest and well last night it was almost 9pm and NO she didnt sleep in she got up at 6am and now at 10.30 she is whingy and horrible Why cant family see that you are the MOTHER and you know best after all its your child they had there turn. Rant over sorry nic just a bit frustrated lol
ok off to try and sort the chaos of DD1 and the dog out b4 they wake up Molly
can i join the cranky baby group?? Ggggrhhh i have offically got my first tanties in this week. They started pretty small, but got some woppers today!!
Went swimming this morning. was fantastic Ash had a great time, but at the end he was tired and thought he would sleep, nup, went to quickly nip into the shop on the way home, -SCREAMED when i walked past the wiggles ride on things they have cos he wnated to go on. Settled him down, got into coles, screamed at the top of his lungs and went red in the face, lined up settled him down looking in the windows near the freezer section, got past the god damn massive lolly pop stands - who puts them right by the counter!! and off he was again, wanted one! ahhh so stormed out of coles, and he settled, saw the noddy ride on this time.. and he was being a good boy and just pointed so i let him sit on it... 5mins...10mins.. ok need to go now.. SCREAM all the way to the car!!
I know he was tired from swimming but OMG!! This is a new Stage for mr.Ashie bum, and i dont like it one bit!!!!!
Ok had my vent.!!! IS anyone elses bubs starting the tanties in the shops yet???
Buzzie- I had to laugh at your post (in a nice way of course) Sounds like my DD1 and she is 2.5 Our no1 reason for tanties at the shops is because of those bl00dy rides or cos she wants a lolly pop. Molly hasnt shown any interest yet and TBH i dont even think she knows what a lolly pop is. Mind you yesterday when i was shopping and both girls where in the trolley DD1 thought she would give Molly half her freddo frog whilst i had my back turned and Molly had the biggest tantrum when she finished it as she wanted more. *sigh* she didnt know what choc was b4 then but i guess she will know now.
Well Molly is still asleep and DD1 has just asked me for a rest as she is tired (well der thats what happens when silly Nanna keeps her up) so she is lying on the couch watching TV. I want her to have a rest so she is happier later but i know too that if she sleeps she wont go down tonight so its a catch 22. She hasnt had day sleeps for months so i know she must be knackered.
Gosh, all our unsettled babies. I can't help thinking it's a developmental thing seeing as we're all suffering it! hang in there girls, it's bound to change soon. Does anyone have the wonderweeks book? Maybe they're all wonderweeking. LOL is that even a word??
Lauren - no, no tanties here. Tallon still hasn't had a public tanty yet hehe (*touch wood*). He actually only now has little tanties, but I can usually talk him round. Normally it's coz he doesn't know how to deal with something. So I tell him how to deal with it.. and it's so cute, coz he tries it! Like yesterday, he was having hissy fits coz Kayla was playing with his blocks, he was pushing her over and yelling no no no at her. So i took him to his room and told him it's not nice to push kayla like that. If she's playing with something he doesn't want her to have, he is to ask mummy to move her. So out we come, says sorry to Kayla, and when she climbs over to his blocks, he goes to say no & push her, but stops himself and looks at me and says 'mummy move her please'. LOL. Too cute. He's done this a few times actually with different things. Lovely to see he's listening to me! But it's definitely just him not knowing how to deal with things, so I'm trying really hard not to spend time punishing him for things, but trying to teach him how to deal with it. Woops - that was a bit of a ramble - sorry girls! hehe.
But don't worry, he's no angel. If he's tired and doesn't want to do something, he doesn't have tanties, but he yells no at me and spits at me (raspberries). Delightful child
OK, gotta go, gotta try and do some work. Have been trying to get our tax stuff together in the hopes my old boss can lodge our returns before xmas. I want our FTB!
