Julie, sorry to hear Clarrie has been a bit of a handful. What does your DH do, if you don't mind me asking (I'm just a regular sticky-beak!). Maybe because our bubs are all over the six month mark, their fussiness could really be teething (like clever D.A.!). Yep you're right, gardening is my worst nightmare. My mum came to stay last week and I got her out in the garden for a day, we had literally done nothing with the garden and gee she turned things around.
Yael, ouchie on your bottom issues. Is it all a result of the pushing in labour, do you know? That must be awful, being in such pain every time you need to ...ahem... 'go', I know I couldn't put up with something like that. Hope you get booked in for surgery very quickly
Ah that is so interesting about your going cold-turkey with wrapping D.A., Yael! I still semi-wrap Miles (I still have him in the hammock, I tuck his sheet in so tight that he can't get his arms up) as I have the same problem of him flailing, pulling the dummy out and also scratching at the mesh on the hammock (sure you and Julie know about that). Good to hear that bubs do learn to go to sleep without wrapping.
Laura, am already jealous at even the preliminary discussion of a holiday! I haven't been to Bedarra but I've heard it's great. LOL at having to wear a swimsuit! I have the good fortune of not being in a situation to need to wear swimmers for a long time (Canberra is sooooo cold) and when I do it'll be huge preggy ones again.
Lisa, hope Kobi is still sticking to 'the program' re her sleeping
Dianna, thanks for wishing me no m/s, well I can report that I am utterly symptom-free this pg (last time I had tingly nipples on and off, not even that this time). Thank goodness, huh!? Changing poo-ey nappies would be truly horrible if I was feeling nauseas.
Not much to report here. Miles is going through a whinge-y stage, it seems. Perhaps because I'm pg I have less tolerance for it...I am soooo glad when DH walks in the door in the evening, that's for sure.
Oh! my news, if I had any, is that I think I've discovered why Miles won't sleep properly at night. It seems that he is a little heat bead and dislikes being in a warmed room. We let the room go very cold (down to 14 deg C) and he sleeps, well, like a baby! I had the best night's sleep last night! If only he had told us this, as we only heated our bedroom for him, and we have a $750 electricity bill to show for it (d'oh!). I blame the 'baby books' for this - they talk of an ideal temperature range, but this doesn't apply for Miles. No wonder his head was always so sweaty, he was in a heated delirium at nights!
OK must go, my little grumpling demands attention.
