Mez.. oh im sure Izzy will come around sometime and settle for your DH. Jesse was similar. But at times where he was just frustraiting the hell outta me i just gave him to DH and he dealt with him lol. Thanks hun.
Well i am so happy to announce.. Jesse slept through last night for the first time in about 6-7 weeks!!!!!! Since he had his gastro!!! DH went out last night to his mate's birthday.. usually DH puts Jesse to bed so i was unsure how he would go with me putting him to bed but he wasnt too bad. Cried a few times but i just went in and laid him down. Then he probably slept from 8pmish until 7am this morning.. and so did Keira!! WOOOO! So i got a great night sleep!!!
Keira has been in her cot now for the past 3 nights. Seems to be going great guns in there. Even put her in there during the day yesterday and she slept for a few hours.. prior she never would sleep in her cradle during the day.
Well, DH is at work today.. for how long depends on how hot it will be.. looks like its gonna be a stinker though!
So just a lazy day for us. As i was saying to DH.. the good thing about having people over is you clean the house top to bottom.. so i have no house work to do now! well.. for a few days
Had a great day yesterday - thanks Tan!!! You are such a gorgeous gorgeous woman - and J and A are BEAUTIFUL.... was just looking through the pics - and OMG - seriously - beautiful beautiful family... xxxx
Now - personals..
Sal - thats a good gain for her!! Yuck on the nappy rash - do you have any liners? We just use liners when DS has a bit of a rash. This will make you cry - DS went into the sea yesterday - with his lime green itti bitti!!! ARGHHH... I nearly cried... (didn't I Tan.. lol)
Kel - thats a great night sleep for you!!!! Not that I'm jealous or nothin.. lol..and that pic of the cake was great!! can you make one for us as well.. lol.. doesn't have to be for any special occasion or anything..
Zee - poor little mite - that shiner doesn't look very nice!!!!
Charlotte - welcome!!! congrats on your bub!!! I'm a ring in - DD was born in August - but I was due on the 19th July... and couldn't tear myself away from the lovely ladies in here
Hi Belle *mwah*
Tenny - Yay for H's gains - and boo to E's throwin up - yuck - hope he is feeling better?
Pixie - self managed super funds ay.. interesting.. I'm thinking of switching who I have mine with - DH gets a much better deal with his than I do with mine.... I don't even get a death cover unless i pay a huge fee for it - and his is really cheap to have his cover. Must be cos mine is the legal industry ones!!!! They must think everyone in that industry is made outta money.. lol
hello to everyone else - I'm pretty slack with personals..
We *think* that DD may have the measles... she has some of the symptoms - and I googled it last night and the rash looked the same on the net as the one on her face Rang the after hours doc - and they didn't show up - even though they called us at 3.30am and said that they were going to come over.. pffft.. typical...
But - she had her last feed at 7.30pm - and then woke up around 3ish... I was so exhausted I shoved the dummy in her mouth - and she woke up at 5am!!!! woohoo!!!! I feel quite good this morning (even though didn't get to bed till late cos one of the dogs had a paralysis tick and had to go to the doggy ER last night - and is still there..my poor puppy )
Belle - Yay! a new haircut for you and Julia. I hope it made you feel heaps better. I can't wait to see pictures ( if you're going to post some. ) Fingers crossed that Tara keeps sleeping better through the nights.
Kell - Jesse looks so so sooooo cute! The cake looks awesome. You did a fantastic job. I look forward to making a fancy cake for Elijah every year. Lol. I can't wait to do 2 next year. How sad is that!! Keira sleeping in her cot. GO KEIRA!!! YAY Jesse!!!
Zee -
Mez - I hope last night went well with Izzy in her room in her cot. I felt it was so hard for me the first few nights with Elijah. I'm not ready for Hayden to be in a different room just yet. I'm a sook. Lol.
Mel - YAY! That's great about DD sleeping for that long. Fingers crossed she does that from now on during the night. I hope your DD is alright. Has she had are immunisations? Don't they say they can come out in a rash like that afterwards? .. and your dog is ok too. Ticks are nasty little b@stards.
Tan - Yeah, Hayden hardly cries either. He was just really whingy for me the other day. He seems alright now. It could have been the heat, or he might have felt a bit off like what Elijah and I had. Your DH needs a kick up the bum. What is it with DH/DPs and thinking they don't have to do anything without being told to do it... We're not their mothers.
Mel & Tan - Sounds like you had a fantastic day yesterday. Can't wait to see pictures.
As for us.
Elijah is back to his normal self. Why is it when kids start to get over being sick they get really naughty? or is it only my ratbag boy???
I'm feeling better this morning. Thank you for asking if we're feeling better.
My DP said the other day after we got Hayden weighed and measured.. he goes "If we lay Elijah down and lay Hayden down from Elijah's shoulders, then they'll be taller then you Tenny."
Lol. How mean is that, but I'm really glad the boys got DP's height. Tall boys are hotter! :P
The cheeky little bubba has figured out how to escape from being his blankets when he's all wrapped up. Thank god it's warming up now, or he'd freezeeeeee. He had like only the corner of one blanket on him this morning. Lol.
Hope you have a great day.
xx

I'm soooo sorry I haven't been on. My hubby bought broadband & is trying to fix up the net, so I'm writing through my sister's comp. Anyway hope r all well. Sorry no personals will try to do personals when comp is fixed
Hi all sorry for not posting much but i am really tired had a tought few days!!
Saturday was to hot and Jacob didnt sleep as he needs to be swaddled and even with npapy and singlet was still hot and if i didnt swaddle him he startled himself!!
Belle no havent found ingrediants yet for cookies.
Melb girls when shoudl we think about another meet up? i have spare tockets here still for baby expo if you want some i can post them if we dont get to catch up
Feeb.. have you tried those super thin muslim wraps? Ive been putting Keira in those of a night. Theyre like thinner than a sheet.
Hi Tasia! Hope you are well.
Tenny.. lol. Yes a man has to be tall. Being Keira will no doubt be tall (both me and DH are) and shes going to marry one of your boys.. its a good thing theyre tall also OH Keiras been escaping her blankets too since shes been i the cot! Little worm!
we've decided to go the "attempt to get her to sleep without swaddling" route... Little Miss Houdini never manages to stay wrapped, but does tend to wake herself when she startles. I asked the MCHN about wrapping techniques, and she seemed to think that it's probably a good time to try to get her used to sleeping without.
Apparently when they start rolling the wraps can be a little dangerous if they don't manage to free their arms and avoid lying face down. Could just be another of those things that some MCHNs claim and others think is bull$hit, but we're going with it anyways.
Better get back to painting and cleaning up the house! It's officially on the market in about a week - just as soon as the real estate agent has all the required reports and legal docs! Gotta get it right before the photographer rocks up
yummy mummies and beautiful babies!
Hope you're all having a great weekend.... First a few personals
Kel - what an awesome cake! soooo good that Jesse had a fantastic party and you all had a great night's sleep... well done I think you deserved it after all the hard work of the party!
Zee babe, don't worry about PMing - when you're ready I know you've been having a shocking time, especially with Laila hurting herself. I hope she's better soon sweet, and get in touch anytime you like. The Bear still lurks but I think he has been a bit busy to post lately. And he's been causing arguments in other areas (of BB that is) and spending time in the cooking section!
Mel & Tan - so jealous of you two meeting up sounds like you had a great time! Pics please!
Belle honey great news about the haircut - it's sooo nice to do something just for you! And great that Tara slept so long! Love it when they do that.
Mez & Tenny, bummer about DH not being able to settle the little ones. DD is such a little daddy's girl she often settles better for the Bear than for me! LOL
Tan & SW - was sooo close to buying jeans for DD the other day... instead I bought a little denim dress which is soooooo cute. Have to post a pic when I can.
As for us it's been a good weekend.... yesterday the Bear took Beth to the markets and I got to have a 2 hour nap! YAY! then we went to a party last night, and Beth slept through most of it, woke up had a feed and then was happy and smiley as people passed her around and cooed at her. And then she slept from midnight until 6am!!! was sooo cool, I was really happy about that especially since she was absolutely ravenous yesterday feeding every 2 hours! And pulling on my nipples as if she wasn't getting enough flow from them, especially the left one! my nipples feel like shoe leather LOL. today the PIL came over - they planned to take DD for a walk so I could have a lie-in. But when they told me how far they planned to go, i thought I'd better go with them otherwise they were going to be stuck for hours with a screaming starving infant! We ended up going for a 10k walk which was only about a third of what they originally planned. It was really good though, only problem was I forgot to put sunscreen on my chest so I'll be burnt. It was really hot today, beautiful cool breeze now though! It will be hot enough to go in the pool soon - I sent away for free swim nappies (you can send away for them from the huggies website BTW in case anyone is interested) so when I get those I can take DD in the pool.
And DD has her 6-8 week check tomorrow so we will have her weighed and measured again.
So that's all my news, sorry to anyone I missed with personals and have a great weekend.
Yeh, Keira is only now generally wrapped at night as it still gets quite cold here or during the day if shes having trouble settling. I want to to be wrap free by summer. Was terrible with Jesse being wrapped when it got hot as he was a sweaty baby as it was. So during the day now ive been trying to keep Keira unwrapped, and if she is, just loosly. I did the same with Jesse to get him wrap free, then just sitched to Grobags. So over the next month or so will do with Keira also.
But i think a good way to get them out of the wraps is to during the day, wrap them not as tight. Once they start getting use to being less restricted, then leave one arm out of the wrap.. once content with that then do both, until the wrap is completely gone.
Pixie.. oh how nice of Bear. lol yeh i sent away for those swim nappies for Jesse.. still waiting! lol. I think he was the same age at Keira is now.
) Fingers crossed that Tara keeps sleeping better through the nights. 
Keira sleeping in her cot. GO KEIRA!!! YAY Jesse!!!
OH Keiras been escaping her blankets too since shes been i the cot! Little worm!
yummy mummies and beautiful babies!
