    hi all

    Todays a better day.someone eating n sleeping a lot better,however the dummy is the bane of my existance,i made him go sleep without it and so far so good today...last nyt had a few probs but due to overtired n stimulation,once asleep all good,nuthin some hugs from mum wont fix as he been sick and now i have it.
    Nixon woke at 630am for feed,he hasnt been having full bottle since sick but last 24 hours is during the day,dreamfeed and nytfeed he has what he wants and then zonks out again...i was laying in with him at 630am and felt the queazy tummy,mass headace and a hot stinky poop(sorry tmi hehe)then i knew sumhtin up,dh made me go in my bed he got in with nixon at 7am and we all slept til 10am.....sleep in was about 8 weeks overdue and we are all human again,amazing what sleep will do??
    i still rang sleep school as im wanting to get this im not sleeping issues and settling totally ironed out,im cutting the dummy use too as this seems to be a cause of his sleep issues as he wants it to go sleep then he cant keep it in his gob then cries for it,have tried different sizes dummies n shapes,,,i mentioned to kimbaz that i think too he might be tongue tied,they mentioned it as hospital when he born but havent heard much more...

    Mel A - 8pm until 6am is wonderful for a 2 month old bubba - Is Fin breastfeed?

    My little girl is sleeping consistantly from 7.30/8pm until 2am which is wonderful since only 2 weeks ago she was sleeping 7.30 until about 11.30...and then would breastfeed again at about 3am....so she has cut down to only 1 feed a night, and I feel that extra little time is enough not to feel overly tired (well, some days!)

    I think, I think the Zantac is working.......but I don't want to speak too soon.

    Soniebon - so so so happy your day was/is better - you deserve it!

    GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr keep losing my posts! Last one was long too! ok will try and remember....

    Bon - you are doing a fab job, try not to stress. Our babies are still so young and there will be days when their 'routine' just doesn't work. Remember that they haven't read the books themselves either!

    Runner - finally got to post office today - should get wrap by Monday. Hope it works!

    Orange - gotta love TT! Tough eh? Ned thankfully decided to train himself while i was in hospital with H!

    Had the morning with my boys, had a long walk to and from Kinder and planted out the herb garden, yay!

    Can you believe I met a woman yesterday at the park with a Lucie, Ned and Henry too? And she had another daughter Alice which was one of our girls names we had picked too. Creepy eh? She said there was another woman in Melbourne with the same 3 childrens names too. I know of someone in Tassie with a Lucy and Ned too and have also met other mums at the park with a Lucy and Henry and the other with a Ned and Henry. Freaky or what????

    OMG Soph, that is SO freaky!!!!

    Just another quick one from me as DH had dinner ready

    Ben is covered in hives. Poor bugger. Don't know what from, he has so many allergies it could be anything. J has been a bit unsettled today, but not too bad. We had an awesome night last night. Six hours from Jared and then five hours. Ben had a great night too so I am one rested mummy.

    Had my second session at the gym today. I'm so unfit, but it feels GREAT to get out and exercising!

    Oh no!! Ava was sleeping so soundly for the last 30mins and some d*ckhead just screeched their tyres outside our house down the street and now she's crying
    obviously frightened her..... the world could do without d*ckheads.

    Soph - now THAT's weird! What a coincidence!!!!
    Runner - well done on Amara's sleeping! That's fantastic only 1 feed now.
    Bon - the miracle blanket is awesome hey!!!! Ava can't get out of her's no way..... it's a straight jacket for babies hehehe
    Dis - poor Ben! I hope he's better soon. sounds awful....
    Orange - yeah i have tried dressing her down but if she's not wrapped she moves her arms and legs all over the place and wacks herself in the face and then cries cos she wakes herself up! i try half wrapping her too. some days shes ok other days its hard.

    Was going to type more but I have an upset baby who wants her Mummy..... Daddy tried settling her and no good she wants Mum .... gotta go!!!! i think its time for booby juice again!!!

    Just a quick one from me to brag that Max slept 8 hours straight last night, from 10.15 to 6.15!!!! Until now he hasn't done it again since I bragged last time about him sleeping through, which was over 2 weeks ago I think.

    Hopefully he keeps it up this time!

    No worries Runner - hope Amara enjoys!

    Soph - have fun at the concert!!! That's the same as A.... she just went down and now I need to get out of the house to take the dog to the kennel as we're away this weekend..... ugh!! I don't like waking her.... at least she'll sleep in the car for me.
    Will Henry sleep for you in the car? I s'pose the other kids will wake him!

    Have a great day girls! I have to pack for Sydney we're going away this weekend.... looking forward to a mini-holiday!!! If i was staying longer in Sydney, I'd have organised to catch up with a few of you Sydney girls..... but I won't have time!

    Had another great sleep last night. Ava has been 'sleeping thru' (5hrs or more) for the last 3 weeks i'm soooo happy with how it's going. I don't mind so much she doesn't sleep during the day much as long as she sleeps well at night!!!!

    Got my new hug-a-bub this morning delivered YAY!!!
