Hi ladies!!So sorry i havent been around,ive had dad staying here and he seriously doesnt stop talking haha so i havent had a chance to think!!Then a friend came and stayed and ive had so much on its been a joke!!No excuse i know but i tried a few times!!Summers been soooo clingy lately cute yes but all day has been so draining she hasnt been sleeping in the day at all maybe half an hour then today and yesterday she had a 3 hour sleep!!So that was good i could get some things done.
moose-have a lovely time away,sounds like you will need it with all the packing etc!Im still trying the cream,its so weird one day it will be clear,the next flair up again and even the cortisone cream sometimes doesnt work,its not out of control though like it was!!Phew!
blip-are you serious??you could be UTD??wow exciting!!Ive been thinking about it lately,i havent mentioned it to DH as he would surely faint but i dont want to leave a to big a gap.So will you test or not worry or???tell tell!!!Summer is sort of doing the commando crawl too,weird her arms still have no idea.well dont know if id go so far as to say commando crawl but when shes actualy happy on her tummy(which is like a half second once a week)her legs go mad and sort of do what theyd do crawling.She still is a long way off im sure,i havent seen her roll yet!!But i wander if she has as i put her on her back in her cot and later shes on her tum.??hmmmm maybe a secret roll?
Sterla-Your little man is on fire isnt he???Nearly standing up way to go Oliver!!!Wow!!Thats soooo cute!!Sorry you had a bad night,i so hope you have a better one,i feel so lucky summer sleeps at least 12 hours in one go but a few weeks ago she woke up at 2am a few nights and i felt like death but only 2 hours sleep and up so early i so feel for you!!
Luua-thanks for that,i dont feel so bad now,i keep thinking shes 7 months on saturday and still no rolling and she hates tummy time.Interesting about the talking as although we cant understand it summer doesnt stop talking!!and so loud!I'll be shopping,home,friends anywhere she just chats away!
well ladies hello to everyone else sorry i didnt catch up properly,still no great milestones,im starting to worry!!We have no teeth(is summer the only one in the group??),no rolling(except in the cot but the cot probably helped and i didnt actually see it but how she got from back to tum who knows),no crawling,no sitting haha lazy??she just still HATES tummy time no matter what i do,i really dont know what to do she just crys and crys i cant stand it!!Ohwell sorry to winge,hope eeryones good
Master L doesn't have any teethe yet but they are not far from the top of the gum! He slept through last night in a sleeping bag! I was so happy but scared cause he didn't make a peep!
oh how cute!!summer sleeps well in her sleeping bag too,how do you tell that the teeth are coming down i dont know what to look for like how do you know there not far
PJ: Look for whitish bulges in the gum - well, that's what Oliver's were like before they came through. His top teeth (that aren't through yet) you can actually sort of see under the gum.
I am SO jealous - I would love Oliver to sleep 12 hours!
Try not to worry about Summer, I think some bubs are just less physical than others. If she's engaging with the world around her, I'm sure all is fine and she'll get there in her own time.
Blip: How was Daz's MCHN appointment? Haha about Daz commando crawling! He'll be mobile before you know it! Oliver's nowhere close to crawling, though he desperately wants to get somewhere... anywhere! Could you really be UTD? How exciting if you are!
Moose: You do sound BUSY! Hope your weekend goes well - I bet you'll miss Sammy like crazy.
AFM: Oliver has learnt another trick... bopping to music!!! It's the cutest thing - get some music going while he's sitting down, and he bops up and down to it! I'm not even sure how he learnt to do it - I must bop to music without realising, lol. After Rock & Rhyme today, the dad of one of the babies played 'Funky Cold Medina' on his phone, and there was Oliver bopping away to it!
PJ: aww that sounds soo cute summers "sky diving" (one of the bubs at my MG did that! and hes almost crawling?!?!?) DJ just kinda...pushs himself along...he crawled over DH's arm tonight 0_0 im sure once summer twiggs she can move - she wont stop!
Sugar: well done Master L! sleeping though. such a good boy! ooo you got to see white bumps, thats cool. i think i missed that part!
sterla: awww that is sooo cute! he can be bom-funk-Oli. he may well just be very good at rhythem! (boppin' gangsta!...just think Venilla ice's quote "word to your mother" but make it "milk from your mother")
AFM: i have Nooo idea if i'm up the duff. did a HPT and it was neg. BUT i'll wait untill next week - as that happend with daz - a week before a/f was due i got a neg. then the DAY BEFORE a.f was due i got the first bfp, mid avro. so who knows?!? isnt stopping me form having a glass of red wine now though! daz is commando crawling, he crawled right over DH's arm tonight! my babys growing up! was talking to my mother tonight about more kids and i flat out said "when it happens it happens" which i copped "Oh but you dont want another one just yet do you?" when is said "when it happens, it happens" she got all stroppy with me! stupid women she can be! :shh: dont tell any one but i kind of hope im UTD lol. strange but...i just...yeah. if not. ohh well. any bets im not! hehe...just means "more practice!" (i think i've been in the mood more then DH becuase i've got my 'sexy back' LOL well..kind of!) but i think im ready to go though it all over agian. but we'll wait and see i guess!
anyw whoo i better get some sleep!
hope every one is having a good moring/arvo (by the time you all read this!)
BLIP!!! Holey moley! Cant wait to find out if you are utd, how exciting! Thats unreal Daz is crawling over things now, the baby-proofing begins...
Sterla- The sleep deprivation can only go on for so long... hopefully tonight is better for you.
It totally sucked putting Winter in her own room, now Im sooo glad of it. I dont have to tip-toe in and out of the bedroom and DP and I can actually TALK in bed *shock horror*. I still wouldntchange having her in our room up untill when we did though. Rolling over and seeing her cheeky smile first thing in the morning is ... was *sniff* the best thing ever.
Moose- Good to hear from you, hope you and your DH have a good solo night away. How is Sammy going?
PJ- Have you tried putting a rolled muslin under Summer's arms when she is on her tummy? I call Winter 'pingu'(as in the penguin) as she does the 'sky diving' thing too but it always reminded me of a penguin tummy slide.
Dont stress too much, she will catch up, just try lots of little tummy time installments maybe? like even 30 seconds??
Sugardust- How exciting sleeping through! I freaked when Winter did it the other week too.
Lots to tell, but as usual Baybay is due awake 10 mins ago so gotta be quick.
Rock and rhyme was ok... I think my expectations were too high. Still going to go each week anyway.
Entered Winter is a cutest baby contest and found out yesterday she came second of around 30 babies! Going to pick up our prize this arvo which is a huge frame with the winning photo enlarged. How sweet is that?! I had convinced myself we werent going to win, as the photo was not really that good, just one I had laying around. Stoked though!
Fathers day Winter got DP a mug and stubbie cooler with her pictures on it, check out 'snapfish' on google, they have some good stuff. Made a card today too.
peach-Thanks for that,i think your right maybe i'll try smaller intervals and something under her.
Blip-haha you sooo funny!Well let us know!My stick didnt turn until just before AF too,so you never know!
sterla-Thanks i'll keep looking at the gums(if the cheeky tongue i can keep out the way!!)I sooo hope you get more sleep!!It must be awful!!We been so lucky because summer has been a real good sleeper from the start,but only at night.How cute the bopping!What a little groover!They get such cute little personalities hey?
Well nothing much to report,ive been trying to incease tum time and well shes a bit happier longer,i keep seeing her trying to roll but only from back to tummy,shes almost there but she mainly does it in her cot,but its something.I just feel shes soooo behind!But she'll get there im sure.Had a quiet day but it was nice.well we have alot on tomorrow,i have a kitchen tea,high tea thing in the morning and then we are going out for dinner with some friends as its there anniversary and they wanted to do something special,its a nice fancy place on the water so should be great,summer will stay with my sister just for the evening,oooooh we havent really left her,but will be nice not have to worry and just enjoy a meal out i must say.Ok ladies id better get myself orgaised hope everyone has a good weekend!!
Good morning mummies! How was all the Dad's Father's Day (first one for a lot of them!). My DH had a pretty good first Father's Day I think. He liked his present, and I made us french toast for breakfast (first time I've made it).
Blip: How are you going? Any idea about being UTD yet? I think we're all quite excited for you, lol. Haha about Daz's commando crawling. Oliver doesn't do anything like that, but he is starting to lunge forward from sitting onto his tummy. Happy 7 months Daz!!!
Peach: Wow, that is fantastic about Winter getting second place in the cutest baby contest!!! From the pic in your ticker she does look like a gorgeous little girl! How are you and Winter these days?
PJ: Try not to worry about Summer's development - she'll get there in her own time. How did your evening out go? Did you miss Summer like crazy? I still haven't left Oliver with anyone other than DH, and even then it's only been for half an hour at the most! I'm such a softy, lol. I think I've convinced myself that Oliver won't sleep for anyone but me, cause I'm the only one who ever gets him to sleep. So, between me breastfeeding and thinking I'm the only one who can get him to sleep, there's only a limited amount of time I'd feel comfortable leaving Oliver for. Haha, I think I'm just a big sook!
How is everyone else doing?
AFM: Friday Oliver had a play date with a little girl called Jasmine (she's 9 months) from our MG. It's amazing how much difference those couple of months make!
Had a nice weekend. Had friends over Saturday night - watched Bruno and I have now been scarred for life, lol. Sunday was a nice laid back day, had afternoon tea with my parents for Father's Day. Over the weekend DH and I have also been finishing off Oliver's room, because... we are moving him into his own room tonight... waaahhhh!!! I'm so torn by it - I want my room to myself again (and to read in bed again!), but I'm going to miss Oliver being in with us... that hallway is going to feel very long I think. So, last night was Oliver's last night in with us - tonight we're moving the cot into his room, and he'll sleep there. I'll let you know how it goes.
Oliver and I have MG today, which I'm quite excited about - I love catching up with all the other mums, and watching the babies play together .
Anyway, Oliver has just woken up, so I better go. Have a great week everyone.
Peach: yep it has started! mind you - DH hasnt quite cottoned onto it. he left his Diggi radio plugged in and DJ almost pulled it down via the cord but im sure he'll learn winter looks soo cute in your ticker - im sure it was an easy win for her!
PJ: im sure summer will be fine! i know that some babies dont roll untill over 9months! but they fly ahead in other aspects of development - like speech or fine motor skills as apposed to gross motor skills. or she'll supprise you done day and be like "taaadaaaar" and not stop!
Sterla: Aww Oli's a bug bubba - going into his own room! but i get the sad part about not having them there though (it was the other way around for us i went from being in DJ's room back to mine ) yay for play dates, its fun watching the babies interect with each other! hope you have heaps of fun at MG!
AFM: got another today. hrmm...i'll hold off again untill wednesday (or thursday) and see. if still i'll be off to the docs - and ask for a blood test. fathers day was fairly good (which was a HUGE suppise) got DH a MJ dvd and socks. he bought himself a cordless drill (he wouldnt let me buy it becuase "its too expenstive") went to the PIL's place. now most of the girls from the bellybuddies grp would know all the drama we've had with BIL & SIL. well yesterday was. a shock. they where nice. yes nice ot DH, DJ and I! as in they talked to us - asked us about DJ and what's happening with us which ment DH and i could ask about them and their dogs (DH also asked his brother about if they intend on having kids... 0_o) and i sat next to SIL and talked to her - one on one for the first time in...well...ever. so that was nice. today. not much planned. im going to attempt to make my hair blonde(er) if possable...we'll see (or it'll end up like a soft copper which i wouldnt mind eather...)
hope every one is having a good day
Well, Oliver his first night in his bedroom last night, and it all went quite smoothly - better than I was expecting. Oliver slept fine, and I did too, eventually. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to hear him, but I did easily enough. He still woke up 3 times though... so it doesn't seem to have made any difference there yet.
MG yesterday was good - only 10 of the 17 mums showed up. Oliver saw his girlfriend, and they held hands (awwww!!!) - very cute. I talked to her mum, and we are going to meet up some time this week or next which will be great.
Discovered today that Oliver is actually slowly starting to progress towards crawling. He stays up on his hands and knees for a while and rocks about - he'll work it out soon enough, then, WATCH OUT!
Well, better go. I have some fluffy mail waiting at the post office for me!
morning ladies!
sterla : Uh-oh baby proofing time! thats good to hear Oli has a 'girlfriend'! soo cute. and how cute is that whole rocking thing? how meany fluffys do you have now?!?
hows every one else going? all busy with bubba's ay?
AFM: been semi busy here. (people with plat know about this) but DH is going to be out of a job (at some point between Dec & feb) But has be offered another job at the place taking over DH's. which DH isnt stressing about (and im not now ) and just watching daz. he's not gotten up and 'rocked' yet..but he can spin around in cercals on his belly! (it looks soooo funny!) and has become much more talkative! i sware he said 'daddaddaddad' thismorning! but who knows!
Ohh and im now blonde(ish red) too. went and bought the lightest blonde i could find and did it myself. after thursday i'll post pics on FB (i dont want my family finding out BEFORE they see it [insert evil laugh here] ohh and got another today to...so we'll wait and see. i talked to a friend of mine whoes studying the whole doctor thing (next year is his last!) and said it can take any where up at 6 months post-brest feeding for the cycle to become 'normal' again. so we'll see ay?
Ooo better go the DJ-eater of soooo much food- is awake.
hope every one is having a nice day!
Hi ladies!!Ive been sooo busy!Ive been out everyday this week!Had some tuff days!!Summers refusing to sleep in the day and it would be ok if she was happy but she just winges all day and wants me,not sure whats going on,she seems to be sleeping ok at night still but up real early,she must be so tired!!I know i am!!
Blip-You happy with your hair?cant wait to see pics!!I thought i heard Summer say dadada too but thought nah cant be then at the kitchen tea others noticed it so she must be,finally shes doing something!!
Sterla-The evening was great thanks,but yep we missed her terribley!!I could barely leave her!!!Then my sister had to push me out then all the way home i felt so sad and i missed her sooo much it was crazy!!My sister had that many text messages in an hour!!BUt after a while it was ok and we had a real nice time out.Good to get our bubby back though heehee,im a big sook too.
Thanks so much everyone for there encouragement with summers developement.I guess i'll just keep trying just gets me down but i guess no need to worry.I went and visited a friend whose just had a baby,they think shes got spina bifida!!She has to have xrays on Friday,also her soft spot seems closed,poor thing,i thought i must pull my head in,theres people with way worse to worry about,just hope alls ok for her shes had that many miscarriages etc now this.Well im stuffed so might go have a real early night,well clean up first night girls
Sterla, great to hear Oli (and you) went ok with the transition to his own room. What nappies did you get this time? I think im getting sick of terry to be honest, only because Winter wee's literally every ten mins so she goes through soooooooooooooooooooooo many as opposed to when we use the magic-alls. Its all about finances here though so Ive been looking... ahem- dreaming on ebay and buy for baby for now. Want to get some pockets though and maybe some itti bitti...
3 times a night is rough, Winter is up 2 times a night and that is enough!
10 Mums at your MG is heaps!!! We have about 5 now give or take...
Blip-Thats good your hair worked out. And I bet your relieved your DH will still be in a job!
PJ- Oh that is so awful about your poor friend and her Bub
Its hard when they wont sleep hey? Thats great you had a nice night out(even if you were thinking about Summer the whole time!)
Try not to stress too much about her developmment, have you spoken to a nurse or anything about it? Thats exciting that she is trying to roll in her cot!
Moose- How are you and Sammy??
Well as for us... Ill try to compress it or Ill be typing for ages I think! OH! Winter stood up by herself last night! That was huge! She was holding onto the coffee table and stood up for about 10 seconds. She is standing up now if I guide her under her arms.
We've been having heaps of trouble with constipation lately, so I stewed a bunch of prunes and today she did 4 huge turds so that was nice... in a stinky way
Ummm what else?? OH!!! Wednesday I spotted a top front tooth! It hasnt cut yet but it is going to any moment... so tooth number 5 I cant believe it. I went to a good friends funeral monday which was awful so I really was finding it hard this week to be cheerful and Winter was really grizzly, I thought it was maybe just my mood rubbing off on her untill I spotted the new tooth.
She also started making dadada and bababab noises about a week or so ago and she is moving around on her tummy backwards and also twisting around in circles.
So I think thats about it for us! Sorry if I seem short but Im really tired, I do still love you girls though!
Hope your all well and thats everyone has a great weekend with their families
Helloooooooooooo its tipsy Pj!!Sorry girls i dont mean to be but we opened some wine and i sooo cant handle my alcohol obviosuly coz ive barely had 2 glasses heehee!Anyways thought id say hello.I had such a good day today!!yah!Summer was back to her little cute good self so that was a huge releif,she slept like normal again and was happy all day,she still didnt have any sleep but was pretty happy so thats good.I went out for coffee with a friend whose bubba girl is the same age so that was nice then i met my sister and found a dress for my dads wedding,i was so pleased it was only a cheapy from target but soo nice!So thats good!
Peach-You made me absoultely crack up about the terds!!HAHA!!!Summers been the same,prunes always do the trick with her too,her last one was soooo bad i had to literally hose her off in the bath!!I didnt kno what to do i was like ok um um trying to get the poo soaked t shirt off gross!!Worked though!!So sorry to hear about your friend!That must of been a tough week lovey!!Hope your ok!!
Well ladies,hi to you all i reeeeeaaallly thik i should get off tis thing coz it no good when you had a drinky poo makes you feel worse,computers i mean ha!Ok well hope everyones good,no ohter news to report,no ttoothys o anything altho how grumpy summers been i was sure there would be.nighty night!!!p.s dot drink and BB heeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Peach: Bwahaha - come over to the (MCN) darkside!!! Honestly, they are so addictive! My most recent additions have been a cow print itti bitti d'lish and a Cushie Toushie Couture. I've also started stocking up on cloth wipes - so I'll be completely on cloth! This month is a good month the be buying MCNs cause of the nappy hunt. If you join up on the nappy hunt you get a discount code that you can use, plus heaps of nappy places have discounts now anyway. PM me if you want more details . Wow, well done Winter on standing!!! What a clever girl. Oliver is so close to pulling himself to standing - he tends to pull himself up onto his knees, but he'll get there. Another tooth! Does her smile look very different with all those teeth? Sorry to hear about your friend .
PJ: That's no good about Summer not wanting to sleep during the day. It's hard when they won't sleep in the day, isn't it!? Can't get anything done or any time to yourself. Oliver has been great with day sleeps, but it's been at a price (which I'll explain later). He's been doing 1.5 - 2 hours the last few days.
Blip: That's great that your DH has another job lined up - must be such a relief for you! Yay about Daz saying 'Dadada'! Oliver has been saying 'Mamama' and 'Bababa', and is attempting something like 'Poppa' cause we keep saying it to him over and over, lol.
Any BFP/BFN news?
How is everyone else doing?
AFM: Well, things are good here, apart from some fairly serious sleep deprivation. Oliver has been waking 3 times a night for the past 4 nights then waking for the day at 6am... then last night... well, Oliver woke at 11pm, went back down at 11.30pm fine... then he was up at 2.30am and didn't go back down until 5.15am!!! I'd feed him, he'd fall asleep then he'd wake up and cry when I went to put him to sleep. Then I'd rock him to sleep, and again he'd wake when I'd put him down. He finally went down, but by then I was so edgy (expecting him to wake up again) that I didn't get to sleep till 6.15am... then Oliver woke at 7.30am. So tired! I hate feeling this tired - I don't feel like I can be a very good mummy to Oliver when I'm this tired .
I am desperately hoping this is a phase that will pass soon (very soon).
Peach: wow a top toothy peg! thats cool. 5 teeths?!?! DJ only has two! and for her standing up! thats brillaint. they are growing sooooo fast now its crazy!
Pj: haha tipsy PJ! nothing like surfing BB whilest tipsy! i do that from time to time...mind you...re-reading badly spelt (ok...worser...if thats even a word...it is now...for me ) is always a good laugh! lol at the turd talk. DJ's been a little blocked...but he 'cleared out' the other day! two days of 4Xaday poo! was a little...ahem...on the nose! im sorry to hear about your friend i hope she's ok and everything is ok for her and her bubba girl!
sterla: i think i need to start up an online support group for all thease MCN addicts! "Hi My Name Is Sterla And I'm Addicted To MCNS, I try to only buy one a week...BUT ITS ALL TOO MUCH FOR ME I WANT THEM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL" i hope Oli starts sleeping better for you... sleep deoprovation is the worst form of tauture
AFM: Big here. judgeing by my cramps a/f isnt too far off. which is good but bad. thanks to my DH i semi got my hopes up. but hey...it'll happen when a new soul (or an old soul as is the case for DJ i belive) wants to enter this world. Plus with the whole saga of DH's work. yes he *may* have a job offer, nothing has been officaly said as yet. all "so and so said..." right now. but we did talk to my father, who i will admit i can not go *anywhere* with out him knowing at least ONE person said he'll keep an ear out after DH's work place closes (or they're given a date). so i'm not worried. DH wanted a change i guess, so its happend at the right time. (if you're game i've set up another blog at tehm@ason89 dot livejournal dot com (just take away the @ and leave the a) for somemore insite into my crazy head (and world too!) other then that things are fairly quiet on this frount.
hope every one is having a crusy weekend!
Hi ladies!!Just a quick pop in to say ello!No news really,we had a good weekend,took Summer to an animal park thing with Dhs parents,its free but got heaps of animals and then we had lunch in the park,she amazed me how much she took note of all the animals there!Still no toothy pegs but she is finally pretty much sitting up so im soooo excited,she still hasnt rolled infront of me but still the old secret rolling happening in the cot hope everyone had a good weekend!
Sterla-Oh you poor thing!!I couldnt stand it,i know how you feel,when i dont get much sleep or even when summer wont sleep in the day i feel im not a good mummy,amazing how we keep going tho hey?I get too impatient.I have to hand it to you!!You are such a good mummy!You never get cross or say anything bad!I get all grrrrrr!hehe me meany!I sooooo hope you have some good nights coming up sleep dep is the worst thing ever!!
Blip-No BFP aye?I was sure it was!hehe i liked your new soul for an old soul thing!!Hope you dont get a nasty AF im due tomorrow too.
Hello to everyone else,hope everyone gets some much needed sleep,i havent been sleeping good and then with summer not sleeping at all in the day i feel i need it!!So i might try to get some while shes gone down,night everyone!
PJ: That's great that Summer is almost sitting! See - she's fine, she's just doing it all in her own good time. Lol about the secret cot rolling! Oliver has started getting himself into some funny positions in his cot - how they do it I have no idea. That's nice that you took Summer to an animal park, I bet she loved it! I've been meaning to take Oliver to our city park, cause they have monkeys there - but the weather has been bad for so long. Does Summer love animals? Oliver gets super-excited when he sees our cats, so much so that he squeals and scares them off. I hope you got some sleep .
Blip - or should I say 'Dansta'! Love the new name, though you'll always be 'Blip' to me, lol. How was your weekend? Awww, too bad about the BFN and AF coming. It'll happen for you though - it's really not that far away when you'll be TTC is it. Lol - yes I am an MCN addict... it's sad, and no one else IRL understands, ha ha! I've ordered more (again) which should arrive this week. I am starting to get to the point where I actually have enough to go a day or two between washes, which is good.
Peach: How you going hun? How is Winter?
AFM: Sleep still not great here. Oliver is still waking up 3 times a night, but at least we haven't had any more nights where he's been awake for hours and hours. It's hard, but I actually think my body is somehow adjusting, cause I don't feel too bad today (even though last night it was 4 wake ups). Oliver has been having one long day sleep a day too, which helps I think.
DH also thinks he felt another tooth coming though (the first top one), so maybe that's why he's waking so much? I don't know.
Oliver has a 'date' with his girlfriend, Ella, this morning, haha. They'll be coming when Ella has woken up from her nap. It's so cute watching them together. I get along quite well with the mum, so it will be good to have some mummy company too .
