MadB, great news on Miri getting up to get on down! Was it a wiggle dance or a Wiggle (TM) dance Millie hears a lot of the skivvied ones at daycare... still happy with whatever is on the ipod at home, thank goodness Although she says "noooo" if her two lullaby songs come on during the day - dream a little dream by the mamas and the Papas and Moonshadow by Cat Stevens. Apparently it's okay for me to sing them at bed time, but not to hear them at playtime...
Cathie, I'm sure DH will manage. Will the older kids help out a little where they can? I'm okay, pretty tired as third trimester looms and Pud keeps me up at night. Completely over work. Would happily quit right now. Stupid money.
Millie is finally better and eating again. Had the funniest moment the other afternoon - we have a single seater lounge at an angle to the three seater, which provides a great little cubby hole for her. She scooted herself in there, popped up and yelled, "Daddy!" DH got on the floor on the other side of the lounge and started playing - she'd pop up, yell for him, he'd pop up and say "Millie!", she'd squeal with laughter and pop back down. This went on for awhile, then there was a pause... she popped up, "Daddy!", DH popped up... and got crowned by a toy giraffe. She ambushed him good and proper. I almost wet myself
Lunch is over, spose I should do some work. Hope you're all well xox
hey PP - yeah I'll sit down with the older kids before I go into hospital and have a good talk with them.... Go Millie, they are soooooooooooooo cute at this age. Charlie boy says a few words not many, as the older kids just know what he wants that he dosen't have to ask..... I'm trying to get the older kids to talk to him more and say words back to him. He can follow directions without any problems.
hi
Miri has walked a bit with no hands! Just one step the other day, 2 yesterday and 8 in a row today, twice! She was very pleased with herself. And of course we all applauded.
Miri's talking all the time - well, trying to, her pronounciation is not great. She even said "pool day", meaning, can we go to the pool today. lol. So different to DS. I wonder what she'll be like in 6 months, though, compared to him.
How are you all? I hope you're well and your loved ones also. And how are those bellies going ladies? Cathie you are so close, PP & Charlotte not long now and Audax you're getting close to half way, will you find out if you are baking a little miss or a mr??
We're good here, just doing my best to keep up with the demands. Miss Harper is great, just gone 18 months which is so hard to believe. She points out babies everywhere we go but she's MY baby!!! She started walking just after Easter and now keeps up with her brothers with no effort at all. Her and Charlie play together beautifuly and this weekend with DH and the boys being away i have to really make a point of keeping her busy because she is lost without them. We only have 4 teeth here and the most recent popped through at Easter. She's had some rosey cheeks of late but no signs on the gums from what i can see. She is still a challenge on the sleep side of things, for a few weeks after we got back from sleep school we really made progress. She will now sleep through the night and if she wakes she does not need a feed to resettle. But her thing now is waking at 5am. At first i tried the settling techniques but she wasn't having any of it and all i was doing was waking up the boys at 5am also. So now her and i go and lay on the couch each morning, most mornings she will have a bit more a snooze in my arms but i tend to barely get any more sleep myself. I'm not sure what to do or IF there is anything i can do... it's been going on for about 6 weeks now and i'm sure it's her body clock. I'm tired though and having to go to bed quite early to be able to keep up with the kids during the day. But at 5am i'm doing my best to enjoy the chance to have her snuggle or play in my arms. Georgi i'm not sure if you keep up with the group anymore but i remember you getting up to your boys this time each morning and you could probably quote me from some time back on saying something about not being able to imagine getting up and beginning my day at that time.... well i do now I'm hoping it'll pass soon Otherwise we're feeding 3 times a day still, i can call her from the other end of the house and she'll come running, she's not ready to give up yet. We do have a little issue with the attachment sometimes incorporating teeth but we're persisting, i'm happy if she's happy.
I haven't read back on the threads thoroughly but i do see Miri has taken a few steps!! Yay for Miri i'm sure it's just the beginning of her being well and truely on the move.
PP how are you going without your furry friend? Sadly we are at the stage where it is time for my furry friend to go to doggy heaven. I'm finding it really difficult but she has been prone to cancer, she's had 3 operations so far and now has a lump on her leg that we won't be able to operate on. I hate having her life in my hands like this.
We've had a few sickies here also, Aidan slightly, Charlie had a grose nose for over a week and Harper has had a bit of a runny nose and the other morning woke up with the early signs of croup. But they're all getting better now.
I need to head to bed girls, i might be around for a little bit again but i have requested to be banned for a little longer. I really do hope you are all well and happy.
EJ! Lovely to hear from you.
Sounds like you're doing very well. 5am sucks, but some kids do that... DS did for a while and Miri is often up at sparrow's fart.
DS has a cough and was up in the night. won't be getting much sleep again tonight, I think.
Usually in the morning I hand over Miri and go back to bed for an hour or two - DH's mum is here so getting some sleep in teh mornings atleast. Well I got up this morning, seeing the light was on in the kitchen and Miri was awake. Dumped her on teh floor for DH, then looked at the clock.... 3am! oops. he was up getting medicine for DS. I just assumed it must be morning already (it's usually still dark when she's up for the day). I apologised and took her back to bed. She got her revenge by taking an hour or so to get back to sleep. and then was up for the day at 6 anyway!
Just a quick pop in before Hannah destroys something....
She's getting her final molar and bottom eye tooth. I put some Bonjela on last night and when I was done she smiled and said "Num!" (yum). Pretty funny.
