Sorry I've been MIA but I have been having a rough few nights with Isabel. She has been restless and not sleeping during the day and last night she was up every hour in the end we put her in our bed and she slept with us. Today I went for two walks just to get her to sleep and in the end she slept for 3 hours. My SIL came over this afternoon for my DH birthday and she said maybe that I should swaddle her again like a mummy (cause we have only been swaddling her from under her arms keeping her arms out) and it seems to have worked she has been asleep since 5:15pm having to resettle her twice so fingers crossed it actually works.
Missy - Good news about Liam sweet I'm sure everything is okay with his hearing. I agree with Jess if he is gooing he can hear.
Kell - How is your little boy?
Tannis - How are you sweet?
Belle - Love the pics of your girls, they are so gorgeous!
Tasia - I can't believe your DH said that to you... You don't look over weight in your photos sweet I really wouldn't listen to his comments, tell him to pull his head in especially if he wants you to give him another baby.
Well I better go and hang out the clothes I have just washed before our little MISS wakes.
Mary- Thanx sweety. I don't listen to him if he talks like that to me. I think have an average weight I'm not skinny & I'm not fat I'm just average. So he will better get used to it if we have another baby.
Tasia - OMG. I can't believe he'd even say anything. He needs a good kick in the teeth.
Mez - We still swaddle Hayden at nights. I'm glad it helped with your DDs sleeping. I hope tonight is a better night for you guys.
Missy - That's great of Melissa. Sounds like you've raised a awesome thoughtful person. I hope Liam is more settled tonight. We've been very lucky here too. Hayden is a fantastic sleeper.
Tan - I hope you had a fantastic day at home. Great to hear Ashlea is going great guns!!!
Belle - Adorable photos. Your girls are cutie pies.
Skittle - Good luck with the check up tomorrow.
Not much from me. Hayden has got a cold too, but thankfully it's not as bad as mine. He's just been sleeping alot, and then just wants to be held when he's awake, but that's ok and I'm loving the smiles he's been giving me.
I finally got a good photo of a smile. Lol. I always seem to only just miss them with the camera, but I got a good one last night!!
Tenny - I hope Hayden gets over his cold quickly. I know what you mean about the photos, catching a smile on camera at this stage is near on impossible. that is great that he is doing it so often though.
Mez - you poor thing, you must be soooo tired. I know I am tired and I am actually getting sleep. I hope the swaddling helps a bit tonight and that Isabel sleeps for you. maybe she was jerking herself awake. if you need anything hon, just let me know.
Missy - who looks after Liam when you are at work? what a good dd you have there. there are plenty of 14 year olds who avoid household chores like the plague. you must be a good mummy to have such a good girl.
Tan - I know what you mean about being unmotivated when you are at home. I struggle to get much done when Georgia is sleeping, it is way to easy to try and get some rest myself, or just watch some tv to relax. I'm trying to be good though and do some work around here.
Georgia is crying for a feed, but it is a bit early if I want her to sleep through. It is funny cos she goes about 7 hours overnight between feeds, and then about 4 and a half hours in the morning, and then about 4 hours and then around 3 and a half hours and then only 2 - 3 hours for the last feed. ok i gotta go. speak to you all tomorrow.
Jess - Hayden is like that. He's goes for like 7+hours during the night, and about 4 in the morning, and the rest is 3 hourly. He's a cheeky little chicken.
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow.
Off to feed Hayden and get ready for bed.
xx
Well day off today...Got lots of washing to do. Oh Liam is such a piddle pot. Wets through everything.
Yes Melissa is great. We are like best friends then mother and daughter. I love her to bits and she loves helping me as then im not a angry mother....lol... I get abit moody if DH and DD are sitting on their ass and im working around them. So they just help out and you know what, so they should as I work, raise two young children, cook dinner most nights, do washing, so they can help with the house.
MIL looks after Liam for me. Mondays its just me and Liam as Callum is in day care, Tuesday its just MIL and Liam as Callum in day care again and im at work, Wednesday its Callum, Liam, MIL and FIL. Thursday im home with kids and same with friday.
Well better go as Liam is having a kick with no nappy and I see he is falling asleep so better put him to bed.
Bye for now
bbl for personals. Oh and tomorrow going up the coast for a early fathers day as Im having Liam Baptised on fathers day.
Well looks like swaddling little Isabel like a mummy is working for us at the moment. She doesn't like it and fights to get free but she eventually gives in to sleep. Last night she slept from 6pm - 9.30pm had a feed woke at 2am then slept to 7.00am so I was pretty happy with that. Feed her at 7.30am took daddy to the airport and feed at 11.30am and now she is sleeping again.
Missy - So your family should help you with the housework. Like you said you can't do everything. Oh how nice baptising Liam on Father's day that will be very special.
Tenny - so glad Hayden is doing so well, its nice when you get lots of smiles hey, little Isabel is doing that too when we talk to her. Catching it on camera is even better.
Jess - Yeah have had a hard time of it but I'm hoping us swaddling her now is going to work for us. We don't have her swaddled if she isn't going to bed so hopefully she will get the idea that it's sleep time How is your gorgeous little girl Georgia doing today?
Today I took my DH to the airport for his trip to Germany, he is back next Friday morning so it's going to be interesting to see how my little girl and I go on our own for so long.. I think the nights will be the hardest for me
A big to Kell, Kristy, Feeb, SW, Pixie, Tasia, Mel, Skittlebub, Belle, Zee, Tanis and anyone else that I might have left out.
Well just when i thought things were picking up, Jesse was sick again at 4am this morning. He still has a bad case of diorhea (sp) and is just so ill. Is this ever going to end???? DH had to go back to work yesterday and today.. hes had too much time off lately with Keira being born etc to take more. MIL was off yesterday to help me. This morning FIL came over to help, but its so hard, i dont want him getting it with the low immunity he has with his cancer. Then MIL came home early from work which was good. Im just finding it so hard to cope. Im sure its all the lack of sleep. I have had next to nothing since Saturday. I dont know how i will get through tomorrow by myself if Jesse is still the same. Hes just so upset and whingy that hes sick, he screams his head off if he doesnt get what he wants to you look at him the wrong way. And im just scared he'll make himself throw up again. He hasnt really eaten anything since saturday, hes tired due to all the lack of sleep and being so sick, hes lost god knows how much weight, and on top of it all he just had 2 more molars come through so its making him 10x worse than he would be with just the gastro. And then to have Keira cry. She has been pretty good but its just so hard to hold her and try and settle her and then have Jesse wanting me and trying to keep myself clean from his germs so she doesnt get it. Im an emotional wreck. I cant stop crying. I just dont want to deal with all of this anymore.. its just too hard.
Kell - Big huge hugs!! I hope Jesse is better tomorrow. Poor little man. I'm glad Keira and you haven't gotten it so far. It's so heartbreaking to see your kids sick and you can't do anything to make it better.
Mez - I'm glad the swaddling worked. That's greatttt. I hope your little girl sleeps great for you while you DH is away. xx
Missy - Good luck with Liams Baptism and have a safe trip. Can't wait to hear how it all went + Pics too. Hehehe.
everyone
