Thanks Shell - yeah G has dark brown eyes and J has blue eyes. I hope they stay that way.
Shell, do you think saints are getting cold feet??!?!?!?! Last 2 games have been close at least. Uni is going pretty crap atm! Thanks for asking lol. Just really behind...
Nai, I accepted your friend request on FB - your girls are gorgeous! Good luck fighting the development down your street. I'm so sick of these money hungry developers coming into suburban streets and building up. We had apartments built not long ago at the top of our already grossly congested street and they want to build more opposite the ones already there :doh: We are 2 streets away from a train station so it makes it worse... so many people park down the street to use the trains. Anyway, all the best!!
Ali, I can't watch scary movies! I would be up all night too. Glad Ash is having some decent sleeps.
Kaz, as soon as I type that L isn't rolling, he rolls! And not just once either...he got the hang of it straight away lol. I think it was because I had him in sposies yesterday so he didn't have a huge wombat bum to try and manoever!! I think boys are always a little slower than girls anyway (and that continues right through to old age) ;)
Megie, I hope J recovers today and that E doesn't get sick :hug: You seem to be coping so well! I'm a mess when L is sick...just a nervous wreck.
Pinny, wow L will be crawling soon! I know my youngest sister was walking at 10 months...geez that's only 4 months away! I'm sooo not ready for my L to be mobile!
I forgot to mention, we have stopped giving L his meds as I didn't think it was making a difference and was just a pita more than anything. So far he hasn't gotten any worse! We are going to see his specialist at the Childrens' tomorrow so we'll see what he says.
Thanks for the info re swimming. I think I better enrol him as it is just like me to "commit" to doing it myself but never follow through!
Anyway, better run, L is coughing up a lung - has been coughing for a couple of days now :doh:
I've been thinking about Tracey a lot lately. Anyone else? I wonder how she is going all the time.
I think yesterday would have been Milana's 6 month birthday. :( I hope she is looking down on her mum.
Kaz- I don't know Tracy or the circumstances, but my heart goes out to her!! Must be really hard...I'm sure she is looking down on her mum!!
also thinking of you tracey :hug: we love to hear from you if your lurking.
millie had some pumpkin yesterday which was fine, then was up for 2 hours during the night :doh: woke at 1.30am for a feed and didnt go back to sleep til 3.30am, not crying or anything, just screeching etc.. seemed happy though i wasnt, i refed her at 3.15am and she went back to sleep, she then woke at 6.30am,very tired today
i doubt it has anything to do with the pumpkin but it does coincide with the commencement of solids!
sara how did grace go last night?
We had our first decent night in ages, woke at 3 for feed, chatted and squealed for only 15mins after which is good for her. Tho cause I'm used to crappy sleeps couldn't get back to sleep til 5. I just hope she keeps this up!
AJP- Its hard to know isn't it, I didn't know if Emily was playing up from solids or just because the whole 6 month development phase. Hopefully she settles.
I often think about Tracey too, wonder how they're all going, that poem she'd written for Milana in another thread was beautiful.
Holly- wouldn't surprise me saints getting cold feet, would be typical thing for them to do! I'm so stressed now, I will be devastated, its more than a game to me! Hopefully you'll catch up with school soon, if L gives you a chance to study!
Let us know how the appt goes with the specalist, is this the ENT specialist?
I have to go thru the bag of Ash's old size 0 clothes cause Em is heading up that way. I tell you its soooo handy being able to reuse clothes, thinking how many sizes they go thru in their first year, saved me so much. Only down side was opposite seasons, have all these cute 00 summer clothes but by summer she may not fit, suppose won't matter being bit small if its hot.
We too had a crap night, wanted to be feed nearly every 3 hours!!
But I discovered L got his first tooth yesterday, so maybe just needed some extra TLC to help celebrate!!!
We tries pumpkin yesterday and he LOVED it, almost smiling whilst eating!! I'm sure he was thinking "About time Mum"...
Hope all is well, with everyone...
Big Hug Jols, hope you get some rest today..it's so hard not to feel tired!!
it must be a developmental thing :think:
shell glad you had a better night, i think ive just been spoilt in the past!!
woohoooo lewis! yay on the toothypeg, millie quiet liked the pumpkin too! looking forward to thursday~!
Holly- DD is loving fruit now, especially watermelon, she's getting into it. Apparently there's less chance of choking with BLS actually, because they're controlling it themselves or something? If you google it there's heaps of information and videos on youtube. I'm going to put a video up off DD eating on FB. Ugh, I feel like I have a permanent newborn too with the sleeping!! So tiring!
Jols- Ooh that sounds great about the swimming. Maybe I'll start. They start at 6 months here. It would be fun anyway! Although it freaks me out coz no doubt she'll try drink the water and some kid probably peed in it! pmsl. Grace went ok last night, getting her to sleep the first time was the hardest, I hope it gets easier but I guess it will get worse before it gets better!
Ali- No more scary movies!! I can't watch them either.
Kaz- lol, most of my FB friends are ppl from school I don't even talk to but want to snoop and see what they're up to, pmsl.
Shell- oh great, it can last 5 wks and it just has to happen to me!! Well I hope it's a phase anyway coz I'm bloody well over it!!
Meg- Oh, poor James, hope he's feeling better!
Pinny- I'm not ready either!! DD is rolling everywhere, I turn my back and she's somewhere completely different and I have no idea how she got there!
Nai- Those photos are so nice!!!!!!! Beautiful girls!
:hello: anyone I've missed, gtg DD getting cranky now, just when I thought I had time to post!
Am trying to change the sleeping problem, wrote a thread about it. Hopefully I can be persistent!
hi girls, I'm back.. finally got my new laptop, have got to dash and pick up DH, promise to catch up on personals
Evening ladies
We've had a tiring few days/nights... charity auction on Sat that we helped organise/run, raised 32k, not a bad effort! Then DD's christening on Sun, massive day and night, lunch for 45ish people (haven't counted yet the exact number) then noticed DD's ear was a bit weepy... off to the doc this morning, cancelled swimming, outer ear infection!
Thankfully not middle ear (the bad kind where the ear drum can rupture) but apparently v. uncommon in 6mth olds! Doc had to ring an ENT specialist to find out what antibiotics to prescribe.
DD has been a sweetheart tho - not too upset until tonight. Have dosed her up on panadol and put her down. Think we might just keep the panadol going tonight... hopefully get better rest than last night.
Tarkine - hi!!!! Welcome back. You have been missed.
Heaven- found you on FB! Added you in. Will try and find your other thread and see if I can help.
Jols, hope you have a better night tonight!
Pinny - yay on the tooth! No teeth here...
Shell - DD has been in size zero since we came back from Cairns. She's even fitting the zero pants in length now, has had a big growth spurt!
Holly- you're sounding pretty chirpy, hope everything is going well for you, as well as can be expected anyway! How did you go with the specialist today?
Nai - saw the VCAT thing on FB, doesn't look like it went your way, sorry about that.
Ali - hope your little champ keeps up the good sleeping!
Better run help DH with dinner... he has given me a bit of "down" time after pretty much cuddling DD all day but I feel guilty about not helping.
Hugs to all, here's hoping we all get a better night tonight.
Kaz - yep I think frequently about Tracey and Milana.
OP - wow! you have been busy!
Sorry am tired and a slacker. We've had the flu for the last three weeks (not swine flu - DH got tested). Have had SIL over and I co-slept with Alex for two nights and we were both over it by the third night!
Anyone got anything planned for father's day?
DH is going to have a rough time this year. His dad died 5 days after, so its going to be really hard for him. First year always is. Shellbell, I'm thinking about your DP and your FIL.
Alex is rolling, changing direction and rolling some more, he is sitting but no teeth.
:grouphug: to ya all
Jus ta quickie will be back later
But just thought I would tell you DD's sleep has turned to mud after 4 nights of going really well. We are back to 3hrly the cheeky monkey! Last night I co-slept with her fro 2:30am as I was just too tired. DIdnt even hear her crying :redface: DP bought her in and he slept on a mattress on the floor of her room.
Also we havent seen a poo for about 4 days! I thought she would poo more now having solids. She is having fruit and veges everyday (not any rice cereal). Any ideas if tis is normal or what I should do?
Sorry about the lack of sleep Ali. Hopefully it will return to how it was soon.
Tarkine - Fathers day may be tough, but also nicce as he has his own little family to share it with,
Sorry can't really type much atm. I am having a really rough time, and not coping well. (J not E)
Hi Everyone - sorry i have been MIA for the past few days, it's been hectic! I had to go in to work on Monday for a few hours. Then yesterday we had to go to VCAT to fight the development up the street from us. Unfortunately it doesn't look good and the development will get approved - 4 appartment style dwellings on a piece of land the size of a handkerchief. Oh well at least we tried! Miss J has been sleeping poorly - until last night when she slept 7pm - 7.30am! I thought her top teeth may have been annoying her but I'm not so sure now.
Kaz - I think of Tracey and Milana almost daily. I wonder how she is going and I am sure Milana is looking down on her and also all our bubs.
Holly - maybe take L to the pool a couple of times for a very quick swim and see how his skin goes with the chlorine before enrolling him. If it really flares up you may need to look at barrier creams etc and work out what works for him before taking him to lessons.
Jols - I think we are all around the 26 week Wonder Week which does say that sleeping can be an issue! I know Miss J has suddenly decided that instead off going down for a sleep or nap she would much prefer to kick around the cot and squeal to herself!!
Pinny - It's great when they love the food you give them. Pumpkin must be so yummy for them Miss J made the same face - as if to say 'why haven't you given me THIS before?' it's so cute.
OP - Wow you are one busy woman!! I'm organising our Childcare Trivia Night for next Friday - I had better get cracking on the questions! DP is going to be the Quiz Master. It should be a good night.
Ali - 4 days is a fair while. She may be not sleeping if she is constipated - is she grunting or straining at all? Maybe try just giving her really watery pears for a day and see if that gets things moving for her. Banana can also make them consitpated so I only give that to Miss J every 2nd day as she will eat half a banana in one sitting!
Meg - :hug: How is J. Is he any better?
Tarkine - thanks for the reminder - better order DP's fathers day gift!
Hi to anyone I have missed!!
good to see you back tarkine!!! will be thinking of you and DF on fathers day :hug:
ali :hug: i hope your nights improve again, not sure about the poo, maybe give her some orange vegies.
meg, is J still sick??
i took millie off solids yesterday and she slept much better! woke for a feed at 3am then slept til 8am!! willl stop them for a few weeks then try again
ETA bugger nai just saw your post...will reply soon....BBL :lol:
Tarkine - YAY!! Welcome back! Sorry to hear everyone's been sick tho. Be thinking of you guys on F day.
OP - Poor poppet with an ear infection. Ouch! You have been busy - hopefully you can have a quiet few days this week.
Shell - How did you go last night? We've inherited a lot of clothes for J - so much easier than having to buy everything. The stash is starting to run low now and I've had to start buying. Going for unisex colours as well as the boy stuff cause thinking about when No. 2 comes along (no plans yet!!).
AJP - How are you feeling today? How are your iron levels?
Pinny - YAY on the tooth!
Nai - That sucks about the development. At least you tried.
Ali - sorry the sleep has gone backwards. It's hard but I bet if you were to take a snapshot now, compared to a month ago, overall she would have improved. Hope you get some poo soon too :lol: We have the opposite problem in this house atm, changing pooey nappies 1-4 times a day :rolleyes:
Meg - :hug: darl I have no real advice (I saw your last post in your other thread). Who can you call on for support? J hasn't been well lately which could be contributing. You sound like you need some time out for yourself :hug:
Hi Heaven, Holly, and everyone else!
AFM - DS was weighed yesterday - still not 7kg and slipping down towards the 10th%ile for weight for age (height and head are still around the 50th%ile). Got a subtle hint from the CFHN that he could start solids any time from now and that might "help" him gain more weight. I actually think he's just going to be a leaner kid. He feeds about 8 times a day on average so it's not for lack of trying that he's not a chubber!!! She was raving on about rice cereal which I'm not that keen on and I asked her about BLS - she hadn't heard of it, barely let me explain it, told me she thought it sounded fine even though I wasn't asking her opinion but then documented it in his blue book like she felt she needed to cover her butt! :rolleyes: I've just had a book on BLS arrive in the post today so I'm going to devour that. DS is only 24 weeks today and I don't think he'll be ready for a few weeks yet.
Had his 6 month shot yesterday too so he's been a bit unhappy since. Panadol is my friend ;)
Hello There!
Just been trying to catch up on you all, but obviously I have been MIA for far too long. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one whose baby has turned into a newborn - yep Heidi is waking quite a lot in the night, every 2-3 hours there for a while. I just feed her in bed, sometimes I'll fall asleep and wake up an hour later and she's still attached! Funny really. We've started solids in the last few days but she's not really interested, makes the funniest faces like "what are you giving me this **** for?", I'm not too worried as she's only just 6 months today!
Have been thinking about Tracey and Milana also...
Right I'm off to try and catch up on you all. I'm on Facebook too if anyone wants to add me?
