Thank you all for your advice I will have to go and buy a swing and see if that will help me. She is a fighter when I cuddle her to go to sleep, I have tried to just put her in her cot and settle her like that but it doesn't work it's as if she knows as soon as I recline her she goes crazy. I can see I have a little girl with a huge attitude already lol.
Tweddle is a place like SW said where you go for help. I will be using the Home visit option so that they can see what we do and what I'm doing right or wrong. I just hate when she screams before going to sleep I want her to be happy not unhappy.
Pixie - you SIL sounds horrible and fancy her taking all these photos with herself and not taking it with you holding your daughter. I must admit when Isabel came home my MIL did the same thing but I was holding Izzy and she only took a photo of her and cut me out of it. I thought it was rude and she still does it. Yay on your mum coming home from holiday I bet your looking forward to it.
SW & Tannis - I will contact Jess and see if she is able to catch up with us. Otherwise looks like it's just me and Isabel. SW I will PM you for your mobile number sweet. Oh and HAPPY 3 MONTHS TO AYLSSA :cheerpink:
Well better go on with my day, I'm really looking forward to tonight as my DH is finally coming home from Hong Kong

Melb girls, s/w & tannis, I won't be able to make it 2m as I'm broke & had argument with hubby, I was really looking forward to meeting u Tannis & s/w & it would have been nice to see u again mary & feeb & Jess. Even if I come 2m I wouldn't be good company I would probably brake down crying. But have a great day 2m guys. Take photos
Mary- During the day time after Jonathan has his feed he would want to play but wouldn't last long for mor than half an hour & when he is tired during the day I put him in the bouncer & give him his dummy & rock him, but he would only have half an hour sleep. Then he would wake up play feed play again, so same routine. At night i wrap him up, give him his last bottle at 12am he will fall asleep as he is drinking & put him in his cot. He won't wake up till 7am. I'm just worried in summer now that I won't wrap him up, I'm worried how he would go without wrapping. That's wat i do with Jonathan, I'm sorry if i wasn't helpful, maybe try wat i do or wat the other girls have suggest sweety *HUGS*
tasia: sorry u can't come tomorrow, would have been great meeting you even if you cried... We would be there for you!
Mez: not sure what chris is doing so let your dh rest. If I have j with me you will just have to exuse my naughty little boy haha what shopping centre were you thinking?
Sw: what transport have u got? Did you hire a car?
Hello everyone else, keep the stats coming they are great! I'll do ashlea's when we get home
Yes.. keep the stats coming.. i love reading them!
Tasia.. big hope youre ok. We are here for you ok.
Mel.. M sounds very much like Keira! lol i forgot to put the tv in! Even when im trying to feed her she's trying to turn her head to watch the telly!! And the attention when youre not giving any.. yep thats Keira too! How did she go last night? Keira has done that once or twice.. woken at 3am or 4am and only way we could settle was to feed her.. it worked though. Shes back to sleeping through. Mustve been just hungry that night.
Pixie.. great photos! Very cute!!
Mez.. ive found Keira hates to be cuddled to sleep now too. Even last night she was wide away and trying to get to sleep.. when i held her she just squirmed and got frustraited.. DH said just go put her in bed and put her music on.. which i did. Heard her about 20 minutes later talking away to herself then started to get frustraited so went in, put the music back on and dummy in and didnt hear from her again. Jesse i use to have to rock to sleep every night. She just doesnt like it.. so maybe Izzy doesnt either? Do you have any music in her room? Ive found thats worked for both Jesse and Keira. We just use her Fisher Price Aquarium.
Alrighty.. i can hear calls from the deep so id say someones awake!
Have a great day and Melb girls have fun at your meet up! Have a coffee for me!!
Well Hubby left the internet on, I think he left on for me on purpose, I don't think he needs it at work today cause we have the same connection, so if he has in on at work, I can't be on it at home.
Thanx for all ur support, u ladies r the best seriously
Kel- Thanx sweety, really appreciate it, but I'm well today.
Tannis- I know sweety, but have a great day today, probably to late saying that now, hope u did have a great day at the meet-up with the other girls
Pixie- What's ur facebook name sweety?
I will do the stats for Jonathan next Tue or Wed, because we have HN visit next Tues
Made DH drop Miss M off at daycare this morning - I just couldn't do it, spent all last night crying, and cried on the way to drop DS off at his - and then he cried when I left him so that made me cry more
I'm such a sook.
DH has called and she is being a model child (as if she wouldn't!!!) and hasn't even cried at all today... and they LOVE the cloth nappies.. lol... (yes that was my attempt at silver lining)
Kel - she slept through again last night - so must of only been hungry that one night..... lol...
Mel- Wow ur brave in putting DD in daycare, I couldn't do it, not yet anyway. But that is great u are brave, well done. I'm sure it was hard, I would cry as well. *HUGS*
Zee - Yeah, we bought a house a few months ago. We're only just moving fully in this weekend. We got it repainted and fixed the kitchen up since it was old, then after that was all done we had heaps of other ***** going on so we couldn't move in. So fingers crossed this weekend goes ahead. Lol. OMG! I couldn't begin to imagine the mess you'd have to clean with that colour carpets and a little kid. OMG!
Mel - I would be crying too. Your DD is an angel. I hope DS went alright today.
Pixie - All I have to say is WTFFF!!!!! Who does that with someone elses child??????? and Beth is the sweetest little fairy in those piccies. Yeah, we bought our first house a few months ago. We got the keys not long after Bubbablue was born. YAY! for your mum coming home, but then for not having a car.
Tasia - I hope your'e going ok now. I've been having little arguements with my DP alot lately. He's just so damn lazy. He's gotten worse over the last month. I've been teary today. My head and eyes hurt from all the tears.
Mez & Tan & SW - Hope you have a great time at your meet up.
Mez - I hope the swing helps Izzy. Yay! on the rolling over.
Feeb - Cars always break down when you're really looking forward to something, aye. It's so annoying.
I'm having the *****tiest day today.
I'll be back later tonight to do Bubbablue's stats.
xx

Hey folks
Well, thinking of you melbourne girls today, hope you had a great meetup!
Kel, Beth has decided she hates being cuddled to sleep now too... she used to like it and then one day she just stopped. Now I have to rock her in the rocker or the hammock or else she just crashes on the playmat.
and eta - I looooove your new ticker!
Mel it's soooooo horrible that you're back at work already. I don't blame you for crying about having to put DD in to CC but she's such a little angel, what a trouper! And good to hear they love the MCN's.
Mez - I can't believe that about your MIL! That's worse than my SIL.... congrats on Izzy rolling over!
Tasia - my FB name is Rachel Northcott, hope things are getting better between you and hubby.
Tenny - hope your day gets better hon
Missy - you've been quiet I hope everything's ok - I added you on FB.
Well, not much happening around here. My mother never turned up so My stepmother bought me one of those bath seats for Beth which is great - now it's not such a struggle to hold her and wash her. Weighed her today but now I can't find a tape measure so when I find one I'll update her stats. Been feeling a bit flat the last couple of days. Got a Melbourne Cup lunch with my MG girls tomorrow so looking forward to that. Might BBL but in the meantime have a great evening all!

pixie- thanx for that sweety, I just added you I need to get a bath seat as well. As Jonathan is getting heavy for me to hold him as I wash him. Let me know how the bath seat goes, yeah?
what sort of bath seat do u have?? a lie down one or the round type that they sit up in as we loooking at getting 1 as currently 1 of us is in bath with him.
Thanks Tasia, and Pix. My day did get better. I do feel better for getting it all out and letting DP know exactly how I feel, instead of dropping hints here and there and hoping he catches on. Haha.This arvo I listened to my ipod while I mowed the lawn. It gave my fatarse a workout cause there's alot to do and kinda uphillish. LOL I can't believe I enjoyed the mowing.
I wanna get one of those bath seats that lay down like Kell has, but I'm still trying to convince DP.
Bubbablue's stats. Name: Hayden Alexander. Age: 3months, 2weeks & 1day. Weight: 7.04kgs. What a piggiepie! Height: 63cm Head Circumference: 42cm Feeding: S26Gold. How Often: Every 3 to 4 hours. How Much: 180ml - 200ml / 5 bottles a day. Other Medication: None. Day Sleeps: Little cat naps 15mins to an hour, sometimes maybe 2. Night Sleep: Sleeps through, 8:30pm/9pm till 7:30am/8am. Settles: Self settles with or without a dummy. Sometimes in our arms, but mostly in rocker, swing, bed, or playgym. Awake Periods: Generally awake 1 - 2hrs between feeds during the middle of the day. In the morning it's less and the afternoons it's less too. Size Clothes: Size 000 and 00 Size Nappies: Infant and crawler. We have half a bag of infant left so we use those in the daytime, and the crawler ones at nighttime cause it's a longer period and less likely to overflow with the bigger ones. Favourite Toy: This playgro dog thing that pulls apart and vibrates as it goes back together, like an accordian(sp?). He loves the suck/chew on the ears. Milestones: Still halfway to 3/4 the way over with the rolling, then kicks himself back onto his back. I think it's cause he hates being on his tummy. Other stuff: Starting to cry when other people hold him too long and realises he wants Mummy back. Likes to stand up when you hold him. He gets so excited and sort of kicks up off your legs while he giggles. He's got a gentle personality but loves to be held and really close to people (mostly Mummy )
Pixie.. the bath seats are great hey! Keira loves hers as she can kick and be freeeeeeee!
Tenny.. oh Hayden sounds like Jesse at that age with the mummy clinginess! I remember at Christmas the year he was born he had a fit if anyone even looked at him other than me or grahame! Its funny how they can be so attached so young hey. But Jesse's fine now.. and never went through that clinginess/seperation anxiety when older.. mustve got it out of his system then!
Was able to get video of Keira rolling over last night. If i can find my cables ill try and upload it to youtube to show you all later on.
Mel.. awww.. im gonna be the same mess when i drop Jess off for his first day.
Ok gotta run.. meeting Kristy and the kids for a morning coffee!
Good luck with the Melbourne cup anyone whos placing a bet! MIL is putting a bet on for me for one.. um.. something Beauty..
