Morning girls
Annabelle gets one or 2 baths a week and has a shower with her dad on the other nights. It's more a bedtime ritual thing than a washing thing. It tells her we mean business and that bed time is soon.
Re bed time, what time are you girls putting your bubs down for the night and how many/how long naps are they having. Belle is 8 wks old and her sleeping has evolved quite a bit over the last couple of weeks, but I was wondering what everyone else's bubs were doing. We generally start the bedtime ritual at 7:30ish and hopefully she's in bed by 8:30 and she will feed either once or twice in the night. She has 3 or 4 naps a day, depending on how long they are. We try to do the feed/wake/sleep thing, but if she only sleeps for one sleep cycle it becomes feed/wake/sleep/wake/feed/sleep.
Syd girls - im so sorry I couldnt make this morning, Julia and I are both sick with bad flu, poor julia is thowing up and not moving at all just watching Dora all morning. Jeffrey is coming home at lunch to help with the 2 kids so I can sleep and just feed Tara as im also dizzy and achy everywhere.
I hope you are all well, I have to feed TAra now she just woke up but will try to come back sometime later if im not sleeping and see how you all are and catchup on the posts.
Belle honey sorry to hear you and Julia are sick... shame you couldn't make it. Hope you both feel better soon
Kel, Kristy, Missy & Zee great to see you and all of your babies, they are all very cute! We took some nice photos which I will get the Bear to post for me later on.
Re: the bath thing, we try to give her one every day but it's mainly because I like giving her a bath! She likes it too, and we are trying to have a consistent bedtime routine, especially when she is unsettled, like she has been since being sick. But if I don't have time or can't be bothered then I just don't worry about it - like you said it's not like she's actually dirty!
Tan - Beth is such a little piggy she doesn't care = bottle or boobie! Glad to hear Jayden is better.
Mel - you're such a star I saw what you posted re: the expressing! it's really starting to work for you now, good on you.
Tenny - gorgeous pics! too cute. skittle, pmc and the melbourne girls - shame we couldn't all get together but it was nice to finally meet some of the BB girls!
It was such a lovely day here in Melbourne. Our catch up this morning was lovely and so nice to finally meet all the little bubs. They were all so well behaved and even gave us mummy's time to chat and even have some goodies.
I hope all the Syd mummy's & bubs had a great catch up today too can't wait to see the pics.
Awwww you guys all look great - I'm so jealous!!!!
Pixie chick - glad you syd girls had fun too - again - jealous!!!.. where's pics of your hair? oh and thanks for the support
Tenny - he is so gorgeous!!
Belle - I hope you guys recover quickly
Pam - we don't really have a routine here yet - sometimes she feeds at 6 (like at the moment) sometimes 7 - 7.30. The only one in a routine in this house is DS!! lol
Hello!
Just a quick pop in while Jess is eating.. running late tonight with routine.
Tannis.. yeh Keira is only bathed every 3rd day atm. We did the same with Jesse at this age and was recommended to by the midwives as its quite cold this time of year and they dont really need it as theyre not running around and getting dirty or sweaty. Just top and tail if need be. Now, yes, Jesse is showered or bathed everyday usually without fail or for some reason like when he was sick and didnt want to move etc cos he just smells lol. Meeh to your SIL.. each to their own i guess! Hehe yeh i kinda plan Keira's day around the aftenoon sleep and also evening feed. Just because when i put Jesse to bed i have to lay in his big bed with him for him to stay in there and need her to be asleep also for me to do that. Yep Jesse. Very strange hey. Who knows they may have pulled a muscle or something and were just favouring it? Then when they actually went to walk on it it was fine? Glad hes ok though!
Tenny.. gorgeous photos hun!
Belle.. sorry youre sick. hope you get better soon!
Pam.. ive kinda started a routine with Keira. Never had one with Jesse just went on his lead, but now im just too tired to sit up so late and wait for her last feed. Shes fed roughly every 3-4 hours during the day. But i work it out so that her last feed is between 9-10pm. She then sleeps through until roughly 6.30am. Re how many sleeps.. she usually just sleeps during her feeds.
Melb girls.. love the photos!! Looks like you had a great time!
Syd girls.. thanks for a lovely day!! Was great seeing everyone and their bubs! All the babies were just gorgeous! And all the older kids were soo good! Cant wait to see the photos!
Well today was fun. Had some really good laughs with kristy and kell after Bear, pixie and Zee left. Bear and Pixie it was great meeting you and your daughter is beautiful. Cant wait for the next meet up.
Oh yukky on the photo of me Bear. Geeee thanks......lol
Tenny and Ayapi thanks for he photos they are great. Just with the melb photos who is who as im so use to nick names and not real ones...hehehe
Ok will bbl. getting some dins.
Oh and as for Liam sleeping,eating and awake time we are all over the place at the moment but he is sleeping for about 1-3hrs at a time and up for say 45mins-1 1/2hrs and feeds for about 1/2hr -45mins. He is having 5 - 6 bottles in a 24hr day. I think they are to young to really have a routine.
skittle, pmc and the melbourne girls - shame we couldn't all get together but it was nice to finally meet some of the BB girls!
