:happybirthday:Happy Birthday Abbey:happybirthday:
Have a Fantastic day today!!
and to make a separate post.. Olivia slept through well till 4:30 so I didn't have to make any decisions but I think I will just go with the flow and see whats right on a daily basis..
:birthday2: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBEY!! :birthday2:
Trish - sorry to hear its been such a crap year! it certainly has been a big one for alot of us.
Heres to a great 2009 hey!!! :spit:
Nic - yay she slept for you. I dont know how ppl do CC, i just couldnt handle it at all. Hope it works for you! :hugs:
Ash isnt a big eater if i give him food to eat himself, eg. sandwich, pieces of meat, toast etc he'll nibble and give most of it to the dog. But if i feed him a jar of food or weetbix, he'll woof the whole thing. he has always been above 100percentile, but like everyone else, only put on a few grams in the last couple months! I think i dont have much to worry about tho. hes not fat and is very tall.
Im going to try to get Ash into see a paedatrician asap, im really not happy about his tummy, the last 3 nights hes been in soooo much pain! :(
Lauren: I just hate hearing her cry.. It either upsets me or irratates me.. This morning I put her to bed and she whined for a while.. I went and made a coffee and her breakfast and went to get her back up and she was asleep and she slept for 2 hours..
Simon wants to do the CC where I am not sure it is the right way to go ..
Anyways What are you guys getting yiur little ones for Xmas? eas for me to think about it as I have past the birthday stage already :lol:
Olivia is going to get a Tonka truck :) and prob a musical toy. She fell in love with the fisher price aquarium thing yesterday.. Was pressing the button to turn it on and resting her head against it.. Oh and she had her first shop Tantrum.. Was so funny.. We already have a FP aquarium thing for the cot but Simon wants to get her the one she was plaing with LOL.. Dads!!
Happy 1st Birthday Abbey! :birthday2:
Hi all,
Happy Birthday Abbey!!! :happybirthday: :confetti:
Nic- Big :hug: for you. We've tried the cc on and off here- mostly when I get really desperate and dh and I are fighting because we're just so tired. I always end up giving in- we do it for a few days and quit. I don't mind leaving him if I've had enough and he's just grumbling... but in the middle of the night he used to get himself into such a hysterical sobbing state. I decided that couldn't be good for him or for me- broke my heart. But like I said, I will leave him sometimes if he is having a whinge. Sometimes it actually seems harder for him to got o sleep if I'm in the room- he'll cry for ages then as soon as I leave he's asleep in two minutes. I know how hard it is and how the srying just drives you batty after a while- especially when it's because they are very tired but just will not SLEEP!!!!!! So another big :hug: I was told by Karitane that at this age, if you are consistent with it it will start to work within about three days. They also said if it doesn't have any improvement within a week then it probably will not work and it's not worth doing it long time.
That being said, a friend of mine who used to be a BB member but hasn't been online in a long time has had fantastic success with cc and taking her bubs dummy away. Baby now sleeps through the night- 12 hours at a time- and has two big day naps, and puts herself to sleep. But it was a long hard haul for all of them and not something I think I'm personally prepared to do.
Ahhh.. that's my little bit of philophising for the morning. Hope you're all having a fabulous day :)
Well wouldn't you know it.. I think the CC is working *touch wood and all that jazz* This morning she put hwerself to sleep with very minimal crying.. then again this afternoon with just 5 minutes of whining. She didn't even scream this time. I have made the decision to try for at least 15-20 minutes to see how she goes. She was very tired though so fingers crossed it is working
yay nic, thats great. hope she keeps up with it. LOVE your new ticker... OMG i just realised my pic is gone!! ahhhh
I saw the new GP today, and he was just fantastic.
He felt his tummy and said it was ok no lumps or bumps, and wants a poo and wee sample.Also we're off for an xray this arvo to check for blockages.
Im soooooo happy finally someone is helping me and doesnt keep giving me the.. "yeh he'll grow out of it" spill!!!
Fingers crossed everythings is fine, or not, we will find out and i can deal with it and help Ash to get past it! Im sooo hating the pain hes in!
happy birthday abbey

:happybirthday::happybirthday:
Happy 1st Birthday Abbey hope you had a great day
OMG what a horrendous disguting night!! I am so peeved at how bad she was I don't even want to talk to her. :( Not for 12 days did she once do this at night. not once.. She woke at 11 and was awake till 1:30 this morning. Stupid me was up till 11 and I had been awake since 4 yesterday.. Funnily enough I wasn't to tired but it was hot and I was so cranky. I think was peeved me off the most was that Simon went back to work today.. So of course I get no rest today or help last night. Poor SImon couldn't sleep either so hasnow gone to work on 4 hours sleep..
Grrr. CC didn't work. Well she wasn't crying more tossing and turning and carrying on.. Panadol cuddles nappy change booby feed water.. nope didn't work.. GRRR
anyways. I hope everyone else got a heaps better night then me. Who is the next Birthday? I don't think there is one till Decemer now is there? December 3rd or 4th maybe and is it Miss Olivia Margaret?
Thanks for the birthday wishes girls. Abbey had a great day. I got lots of pictures and we are having a little party for her on Sunday. Feel bas cos I had a huge one for Tehya, heaps of people and a fairy too, but we just don't have the money this close to Christmas. Going to have to make sure I put it away for her next birthday a few months beforehand.
Nic, hugs huni if it makes you feel better your surely not alone with these crappy nights. I know, not much comfort hey. How do you remember all the birthdays ? I'm flat out remembering my kids and families.
Hope everyone has a great day :D
Hey girls.
Yay Abbey! Another 1 year old! Man... time is just going too quick :(
Well, trying to think what our latest news is. I took Kayla to the GP and we decided that we didn't need to see the paed anymore. The GP did her 12 mth check and was happy with her progress. The paed was only really keeping an eye on her weight and was costing us a fortune LOL. And the thing that really motivated me to not go anymore is that I had to get a new referral from the GP and the paed would then charge a 'new referral fee' which would have been over $200!! pfft. But having got out of seeing that doctor, I now have to take DS to a specialist to check out his knock knees :rolleyes: The GP wasn't concerned but wants a specialist to check him over to make sure it's not his hips or anything doing it. Otherwise they pretty much grow out of it. So we may or may not need physio etc for it.
Kayla now takes 1 step on her own. She has done a little shuffle of 3, but it was with the same leg and going around in a circle LOL, so I don't count it, coz she was rebalancing more than walking!
oh, and I discovered two molars in Kayla's mouth yesterday LOL - could explain the BAD nights a few weeks ago! LMAO. I was hanging her upside down off my lap and she was laughing, and there they were!
OK, better go, Tallon is bugging me for some breakfast. Hi to everyone, sorry no personals.. I never seem to do personals.. sorry :redface:
I always feel bad when we can't do a party for each child..Next year we are doing Isaac and Jacob and Ethan will have just a family one..
It is a slight comfort I am not the only one not getting enough sleep because then I know I am not completely mucking everything up kwim?
as for Birthdays I dunno. I remember phone numbers too so it must be a numbers a thing. Names and faces I am terrible with
Olivia is so foul this morning. She not long had breakfast so I hope she stays happy for a bit longer. Debating what to do about sleeps today. Do I start a strict routine or just plod along as normal?
I miss simon today :(
