Belle.. nah didnt have the flu, just diorhea. No idea why. I didnt feel sick or even have any pains.. just a whole lot of the runs. But my tummy is still a little tender when i bend. Weird. Maybe you had a bit of Gastro mixed with the flu? It seems to be going around. I guess every baby is different. Keira's formula fed so cant really compare with sleeping through iykwim. But she has been since she was 3 weeks old. Jesse didnt sleep through until 9 weeks. Keira is very much a people person. Not nesessarily clingy, but she can be in her rocker and will start whinging and carry on just so that you come and sit next to her. As soon as she sees you she lights up with smiles. You get up and walk away, she'll carry on again.
Mel - sounds like a nightmare! LOL at your location though, at least you haven't had a total sense of humour failure.... do you have parents or in-laws close by? If so, methinks it could be time for A to have a sleepover! hope it gets better for you.
Belle - we still have one wake up at night.... and i think our little girl is a bit of a porker... she is a week or two younger than the others and about the same size! but we are lucky she likes being on her own. she will lie in her cot for ages just staring at the mobile, not crying or anything. And sometimes when we have been holding her or playing with her she just gets over us and wants to be alone!
Tan does Jayden have one of those little animal backpacks that you hold on to the tail so they don't run away? might help with running away when you're out!
Kel - yay for the new cot.... mez, tenny, sw and ... everyone else... brain not working... need food
catch up later
Kell: I've tried the calm voice, I've tried the almost psychotic mother, tried ignoring, reasoning....just nothing works on him. I think its just an age thing too...can't wait for it to be over. I might try vitamins, he doesn't eat badly but he doesn't eat a lot and if I don't think of it, he won't tell me he's hungry. J is usually pretty good out but not lately. I don't like Yo Gabba Gabba LOL, I haven't watched it all but it doesn't look great haha. Woohoo on the new cot! I'm loving reading everyones lists too. The question I was going to ask and forgot the other day was what size clothes are the babies in...now I know
Belle: I hope Tara doesn't get the flu too! Have you tried feeding her later than 10pm? Ashlea usually feeds around 8.30/9.30pm and goes straight to sleep, she would sleep through until around 2am but I feed her again around 11.30/12.30am and she stays asleep and wakes at about 7am. Sometimes I go to sleep after her 8.30 feed but most times I stay up.
Mel: Sorry you had such a cr@ppy day with DS! I had one too...naughty boys! We'll sort them out on Saturday LOL. My SIL told me a few other places: Buderim Tavern, Kawana Waters Hotel and Blue Bar (not sure if there is a kids area, but has a big TV and is in the place we are staying apparently)..If you have a chance check them out, I'll see if I can too.
Rach: Nah he doesn't have one of those, I hate the idea of them being on a lead...although the back pack ones are better. My pram has a strap that is meant to go around the handle of the pram and the mothers wrist to stop it from rolling away, I use it so Jayden can hang on to it and he thinks he's helping push/pull the pram, the only problem is he isn't attached to it he can let go...he never had let go until recently.
FIL hasn't had a stroke, its a virus of some sort...not sure what. They are starting him on AB's tomorrow....So good news I think!
Tannis.. yeh its definately the age hun. I mean, i do those things with Jesse but it doesnt always work. Just depends how stubborn he is being. But yeh id give the vitamins a go. As i said, his temperment since hes been taking them is so much better. Oh lol i dont like Yo Gabba Gabba either.. thoughi f its gonna give me 5 minutes peace.. its my best friend! lol Glad your FIL isnt as bad as first thought!
Mel.. good luck at your appointment!
We're home again today. Was going to go out and get a mattress for Keira's cot this arvo when DH got home but just saw Target have a sale on from Thursday with 25% off Nursery! So im gonna wait until Thursday as i know they have the mattresses with the built in waterproof side.
Thats all from us.. can hear a baby squorking for attention
Thanks Kell....What vits is Jesse on? It would be liquid form wouldn't it?
I went to buy a gate yesterday from Target but didn't want to spend $80 on it then I got Target's catalogue through email and saw they had one that I was looking at for 50% off and the other for I think 30% off, the 50% off one there was only 1 left so I will try to get up there at 8.30am on Thurs to make sure I get it plus there is 20-30% of kids clothes too so I might get some things for Ashlea for xmas (J has enough).
We have a party to go to at FDC today, then I will leave J there for a bit while I get A's needles...I don't think a screaming 2yo is the best when needles are being give LOL. Hopefully I'll have 2 sleeping children this arve and I can do another 7 or more kms on the bike.
J stayed in bed all night last night! I'll still get the gate will come in handy when A is crawling. Well better get in the shower want to get out of here before Diego starts at 9am
Tan.. Jess is taking Penta-vite (orange and white box, pineapple flavour). Yep in the liquid form as he wont eat lollies (crazy child!). But you can get it in the chewable form also. Yeh looks like a good sale.. i might try and get some summer clothes for missy too.. Jesse needs some new tshirts also. Thats great he stayed in his bed all night!! Break through hey!!
Belle - Great to hear you're better.
Hayden likes to be around people alot of the time. If he can see us around him, then he's fine. Awh, how cute that Julia is doing that. Now days Elijah is starting to believe me when I tell him that Hayden thinks he's great. He didn't believe me before, but now since Hayden constantly smiles at him, he understands.
Tan - I'm glad your FIL didn't have stroke. Fingers crossed the ABs get rid of it. Hope Ashlea's needles go ok today.
Mel - I'm sorry things have been a nightmare. I hope today is a better day.
Good luck with your appointment.
Kell - I didn't even know there were sales on at Target. Thanks for that. Lol.
Pixie - Elijah was a bit like Beth. He'd like cuddles and being around people, but then he'd get sick of it. Hayden is the opposite. He'd get cuddled all day, every day if he could.
Geez, I'm so over this 'baby brain' cr@p. I'm so distracted lately. It's like I start doing something and get distracted and and start doing something else and forget to finish both things until ages later.
Yesterday, I changed Haydie's bum and was going to feed him, but since he was quite happy to just lay there and look around I forgot all about feeding him and started doing something else. I only remembered to feed him when we got to the supermarket and he was whingy.
I was like "OMG DP! I'm such a bad mother! I forgot to give him his bottle before we left." He kept tryna say I wasn't but still.
It was only like 4 - 41/2hrs since his last feed though, but that's not the point.
HOW COULD I FORGET?!?!
hope everything is ok.
mez, tenny, sw and ... everyone else... brain not working... need food
