Yahoo, we are all better in this house for the first time in months.
Prama, DD hated routine, and was so easy to thrown out. I think with Tara I had to be crule to be kind.(Letting Tara cry to sleep is something Im not good at. )1/2 an hour sleep during the day is normal for Jake at this age. I find if he sleeps only 1/2 an hour for 3 sessions Im doing great. Im also seeing him changing to 2 bigger sleeps for the last couple of days.
Oh no, I cant see the other page, and Jakes into something again. I better type very quickly.
I hope all of the rest of you girls are doing well.
Esme, your so thoughtful for posting that link for prama.
Bun, You poor thing, moving is so hard. I couldnt handle so much change around christmas. Christmas is stressful as it is.
Jen, are you coming to Bendigo for christmas? If you do.... DONT GO NEAR THE MARKET PLACE! Parking is a nightmare.
No, no shopping yet. Going next week, I am silly for having waited for so long!
On another note.... arrrrr I'm so frustrated with my DS's father. He is a being a pain in the arse regarding custody and child support and grrr
No, no shopping here yet; all last minute as usual....
Today we went to the MHCN just for a bit of a weigh in and a few questions about solids and sleep. DS is 9.4 kg and 71cm, so I am happy with that. No wonder my shoulder has started to hurt again; have been lugging him around a bit too much. We love to go out in the garden several times per day to look at the animals and the plants and all that time he is wriggling on my arm. Today we sat down in the grass and the dogs and one of the cats came over; Jasper had a great time pulling at noses, ears and fur. But the dogs and cats were so good, I think they will be good mates when he gets a bit bigger.
There is some improvement with his eating; the last couple of days he has been eating cooked carrot sticks; he actually eats all of it! And he had a taste of broccoli yesterday but I didn't have any left today. He (we ) love(s) sandwiches with cottage cheese and avocado, or finely grated carrot when we didn't have avocado. So I am very happy with those improvements!
2please - Yoohoo on being disease free all together, keep it up!
Coeur2512- Hope you get custody and child support sorted soon; it will be difficult enough with the kids on your own without all this...
That's it for today girls! How is everyone else going?
I have done most of my christmas shopping. Hooray! Karlie, today I got the pirate tent from cotton on kids as a present for a nephew.
Yay Jasper on the eating. Hope it keeps up again. I weighed Amber at the vet the other day! Well it was an easy scale to put her on. She is 9.6kg.
Amber has started crawling in the last week. She is now into everything and I have had to childproof our house. Today, she was trying to work out how to get out the doggy door. That was interesting.
I hear you ladies on the lack of sleep. We too have been getting up a few times a night. Sometimes she wont go back to sleep unless I feed her. Luckily I still BF so it isnt too bad. Although last night she slept through til 630. I'm not holding my breath tonight. But we'll see. Lets hope its just a phase they grow out of quickly.
Big hello to everyone. Coeur. hopefully the custody stuff can sort itself out soon.
havent gotten shopping done yet!! eeekkk..
i usually have it all done by october!!
karlie - glad jake's sleep is getting better.. yaaay!!!
coeur - man, sorry to hear abt ds's dad.. it's mothers usually who always have it hard.. so unfair.
esme - yaaay jasper!!! im so proud of him!!! he'll do so well im sure..
and happy 10mths tomorrow!! double digits!!!
poopy's doing well.. tho he has a bit of a sniffle..
he;s truly crusing and now doing it w one hand. he's also doing E.T.... using his forefinger to touch and prod everything.. i cant believe we've only got 10 weeks till his bday...
jj - ur message just came in.. hehe on amber... they move so fast and get into everything.. nothing's the same anymore!
First happy 10 months Jasper!!! Double digits... will be 12 months in no time...
Prama - thanks for the 'happy 10 months' wishes! Lakshman is doing so well by the sounds of it! Cruising and only holding with one hand; won't be long or he will be walking! So cute when the pointing finger leads the way; Jasper does the closed fist 'pointing' if he wants to go somewhere or wants to touch something. He loves gates at the moment; whenever we walk past or through one he has to pat it and climb it. Sometimes I let him sit on top of the front gate (me holding him) to watch the cars/trucks on the road in front of the house. At the moment we are in the process of getting quotes for a decent pool fence to keep bubby away from the dam and the busy road out the front; that is going to be our Xmas present I think, OMG they are expensive ...
Jen - Yay on having the Xmas shopping under control! I can only wish. Xmas with DP's family and still waiting on them to do the draw for Kris Kringle (sp?)... Is going to be stressfull this year.. Sounds like Amber is doing very well; 9.6 kg; LOL, using the vet's scales; so much easier, might keep that in mind. So many bubs seem to go through an unsettled period around this age; let's hope they'll will grow out of it soon. Jasper still waking up a few times a night; I only have to feed once and he self settles the other times, so I am lucky. Sometimes he is up at 5.30 and today he slept till 7. Yay on the crawling too; did she manage to get out the doggy door?
It's almost surreal to think that all the babies are now turning 10 months old. Is anyone else clucky for another one? I think the memory of all the pain and discomfort is staring to fade... Luckily I'm breastfeeding too otherwise who knows when the next one is along!
Thanks for the good luck wishes. I reread my message and probably should have mentioned that it's my DS#1 Jacob's father that I'm having issues with. Luckily I've got hubby to vent to about it all!
I took Jordan to the doctor's the other day, he's been worrying me a bit. Kinda zones out occasionally and the other night one side of his face was slack. I was just telling myself that it's cos he's tired... sleeping on that side... etc. But it was so scary. It is possible that he is having seizures, so the next time it happens I'm going to record it and take him straight to the hospital. Even if he's fine by the time we're out the door I'm still going.
Esme - Jasper sounds adorable. Jordy doesn't bother with pointing to things, he just charges up and takes it! Or attempts to leap toward them whilst being carried. Jasper sounds like he's doing really well with his eating and makes me less concerned about Jordan being so picky.
Jen - I hear ya on the late night breastfeeds. It's so easy to just grab them and go sit back down before they even wake up properly. All the bubs must be going through a growth spurt and teething, cos it seems like a few babies are waking up more frequently too.
uhoh barking dogs have interrupted the rest of this message. I'm having such a hard time keeping Jordan asleep, he now only wants one sleep a day. I have to kick myself and get up and get back into a routine. Maybe buy an alarm so its not "me" that is saying it's bedtime!
Well everyone have a good day and enjoy the rest of your week!
