Had my first meltdown today with the two children. OMG - I bawled and bawled!! I think Hamish is having a growth spurt, but he is getting terrible tummy pains with it. Poor sausage. So he hasn't slept properly (like more than 30mins) since 9pm last night. I had a baaaaaaad night. And Jenna is cutting her eye teeth - her hands are in her mouth constantly (better than someone elses I guess ) so she is sleeping really badly too.
So big meltdown
Tanya - Shane bought one of those ball hopper things for Jenna for Christmas, and I put it away for a few more months. She seems to little fir it, but maybe we will try it for 2nd birthday?
Sarah - sorry to hear the bed rail saga continues. You can get some pretty tough magnadoodles - I reckon we might try something liek that for jenna maybe? SHe loves drawing in the shower.
Deb - Gabby wasn't that feral. Well OK - she was pretty feral, but Jenna didn't have any problems with it.
OK - baby screaming. I'm supposed to be having a break, but I'm going to feed him - once again. My boobs are so sore - I have fed every 2hrs since about 1am last night. Tell me it gets better girls, I'm having trouble remembering the fun times.
Fi, I have pretty much the same gap between my boys as you do between Jenna and Hamish. It definitely gets better. You have done amazingly well to get this far without a meltdown. I am sure I had one earlier than that. The first 3 months were really hard, but in the last 3 or 4 weeks Thomas has settled down a lot and suddenly it all seems so much easier. And definitely more enjoyable. I am now enjoying Tom so much more. You don't have long to go and I bet you'll see what I mean. Hang in there! BTW Tom had a growth spurt like that at the same age and I hear you on the nipples! LOL! My thoughts are with you.
Sarah, those doodlers are really tough. You should see what Jack's has survived LOL!
Jack had a great birthday today. He keeps saying "happy birthday Jack" and "birthday presents" LOL. Wow, where did 2 years go?
ETA It's also a year yesterday since we found out that Tom was on his way. Where did that year go also??

: Add a sentence
Fi, I was just reading your post in Cailin's walking thread. You and I have a lot in common. Jack also walked at 9.5 months. I am now worried Tom will also be an early walker. He first rolled from front to back at 3.5 weeks, Jack didn't do that until 7.5 weeks. Also he is commando crawling and rolling from back to tummy better than Jack was at the same age. Uh oh - I'm not ready for another one being mobile (well any more mobile than he already is LOL).
) so she is sleeping really badly too.
