Hi all,
Sorry Bek I must have posted at the same time as you yesterday.... Woot!!! How very exciting for you I'm suprising myself- I'm a little jealous of you pregnant girls. Maybe it's time to start TTC#2 here too...
And a big Happy Birthday Molly!!!
Not much happening here again. Ty being a feral. Screaming at every sleep time :sigh: And was up 5 times last- I think dh and his snoring/coughing/alarm going off was the problem.
Liz- I'm with Nic, I wish I had your patience. I used to be the most absolutley patient person with other people's kids- I feel terrible because I'm not that patient with my own.
Off for coffee with my MG. Oh and I have finally brown paper wrapped my present, will post it today
Oh, I'm not that patient trust me. In fact I'm super-cranky mum today. Kayla was up crying last night, so I'm on a short fuse today. Feel bad, coz the kids are just copping it Tempting to just plonk Tallon down in front movies today, but I know he gets all cranky himself if he veges in front of the tv too long. I've separated the kids coz I'm sick of him not letting her play with stuff. Ugh. So he's out playing near the front door and she's out the back.
Oh and could I get Kayla down for her sleep this morning? NO. That's made me cranky too. LOL. Argh - seriously reconsidering talking DH into #3 today! *sigh*
ETA: oh and congrats to the preggy ladies! How exciting! And yay for all our little 1 yr olds! wooo!
Tinsel - Thats great u got a good sleep, your gonna wanna hope monique gets the hang on sleeping for #2!
Lori - Its hard not to feel maternal when everyone around u is having bubs. I feel like bannging my head against a wall, cos i dont have a partner to have #2 as much as i would love one. But i know the wait will make it extra special when it does happen!!
Liz - Hope the kiddies start to behave for you today!! how stressful!
Just wondering those who take there bubbas swimming, when they first start is it normal for them to like it or does some bubs hate water??
Ash absolutely loved the pool and kept wanting to do it on his own and was extremely confident, and when i held under is tummy in the breaststroke position he was scaling with his arms like he had done it a million times and kept his head high up and didnt fall under once... I dont know if all babies are like this or ash has just really taken to the pool and i should really get him into it. I want to start going a couple times a week and start him lessons next for term 1 in Jan.
Have a good one everyone..... damn hot here today!!
well for a change I had a semi decent night.. I don't know if it was the panadol at 6:30 or the cereal at 8:30 or the fact she slept in a seperate room to me.. she woke once at 2am and went right back to sleep with me in my bed.. I am happy with that kind of sleep..
Liz: hope the day gets better for you.. I for once am happy with my kids.. but Dh is also home (night shift tonight) I find day shifts is when I get grumpy..
Lori: Is Ty in your room? This is one of the reasons I moved olivia out yesterday. I don't know if we were somehow waking her or not
now a question for you all.. for day sleeps is bubs room darkened or light.. Olivia was sleeping in our room and it is darkened for simons night shift sleeps. He wants to try making her sleep in a well lit room for day time and see if that makes a difference...
Lauren - bubs seem to take differently to swimming. I used to worry that Tallon wouldnt' kick and paddle when we first started. But now he's the one doing the biggest and most sustained kicks.. he automatically kicks and paddles, don't have to ask him anymore hehe. He's never hated swimming, but he was his usual passive self, neither hating it or loving it. Now he loves it But yeah, some babies scream the whole time, others love it.
Nic - I do shut the blinds for day sleeps, I do it for Tallon too.. but the room isn't totally dark.
I have both of them in bed at the moment, going to chill for a while and try and calm myslef down LOL. I just feel stressed today. Maybe its the full moon hehehe. Cuppa tea & a biscuit sounds like a plan
Nic- nope, moved Ty into his own room a couple of months ago. But we sleep with the door open and he's next door, so only about three metres away from us. Dark room here for daytime too.
Lauren- Ty took to swimming really well too. He loves it- kicks his feet and paddles his arms. We've been dunking him under for a couple of months now, and he will 'swim' up once he's dunked under (they do this thing at our lessons where the teacher kind of dunks them under, about half a metre away from their mum and if they're confident she'll let them go half way so they kick up to the surface and to their mum.
Selfish bit here but so excited I have to share - We had aircon installed yesterday (finished this morning) so the fact that today is hot is great coz we get to test it out! Ok now I feel silly but it is exciting after suffering through last Summer.
Nic - I usually close the blinds a bit for Olivia's day naps (not that they are happening that often anymore) but it is still half light in there. I read somewhere that it shouldn't be night-time dark for their day naps or they confuse day and night...
Lauren - We haven't taken Livi to the pool yet but she LOVES the big bath and looks like she attempts swimming. She has even put her head under a few times on her own.
HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY MOLLY! - Wow, this year has gone by so fast!
