Tenny.. honey.. usually people like that had issues within themselves and they just take it out on everyone else and make them feel bad. By the sounds of it your grandmother is very selfish. Im sorry shes making you feel that way. And honey please dont ever think you are a bad mother, no matter what the old bat says to you.. because thats just utter BS. You are such a wonderful mother to your boys. Even though they can be trying at times, you are doing such a great job in raising them. They are absolutely gorgeous, just like their mummy. Just always remember you are better than what your grandmother thinks.. you know it.. we all know it.. shes the only one living in a glim world Yep, Best & Less are great for babies shoes! And yep they have cute boys ones too. It could be related.. could just be a cold. With all this changing weather it could be very likely. Hope tonights a better night for you. Oh cute. Jesse doesnt know hes starting pre-school next year.. he wouldnt have a clue what it is if i told him. I know he will love it though as he just loves playing with kids. So it will be just me shedding the tears when the time comes, that my baby is growing up.
Missy.. whats up with Callum? Hope hes ok.
Mel.. not yet honey lol.. but theres always tonight hope you have fun tonight.
Tasia.. how many bottles is Jonathan having now? Can you dream feed him maybe around 9.30ish? By dream feed i mean, dont wake him if you can help it, dont change his nappy as it will wake him up more, just try and feed him. Hopefully he will stay asleep and you can put him back in bed. Hope you work something out soon.
Pixie.. great photos from your MG! So cute!
Well we had a busy day!
Swimming this morning. Then went out to babies galore to get Jesse his booster seat. Came out and car wouldnt start. Called NRMA they came out.. luckily only took 20 minutes as had both kids in the car with us. Battery was dead. So drove it to a place where FIL knows the guys and they replaced it and gave us a good deal. Then went back over and bought DH his christmas present (new monitor for his computer).. came home had lunch. Then i left DH at home with the kids while i went out and got a harness for Jesse's booster seat (Babies galore didnt have any!!).. so went and picked that up and also Keira a new play gym as her's snapped (was a hand me down).. came back, got Jesse fed and showered and in bed. Keiras asleep. DH is out at Poker night with the guys from work. Im watching the Carols on telly. Ehhh Delta Goorum ruined my favourite carol O Holy Night! Ehh shes so yesterday lol. And now Brian gayboy Mcfaddion is singing my John Lennon song! (dont like him at all!!). So yeh not impressed! lol. Ooow Shannon Nolls coming up.. hes VERY nice on the eyes!
Yep I'm up early got up at 5am yes early first time ever. That's with Jonathan of course. Gave him his bottle at 8pm put him in his cot, fell asleep at 9.30pm. He decided to wake up at 12.30am. I did everything like cuddle, change his nappy, put bonjela on him none of them worked so i gave him his bottle. He then fell asleep. He then got up at 4.40am, again tried everything but no, he wanted to get out of his bed. He just fell asleep now in his bouncer. Tonight, i'm going to give him his bottle at 10pm & see how that goes, damn why does this baby keep waking up during the night? Oh i'll tell ya wat, whenever i have another baby, i won't be waking him/her at night for feed if he/she is asleep after his/her last bottle. Yeah, no.
Kel- Jonathan is having 5 bottles 180mls, & his last one i'm giving him 200mls, he doesn't drink it all though. sorry to hear that ur car broke down, but glad u got fixed afterwards. It is great when someone knows someone & they give u great deals. Yaaay on Jesse's booster seat & Kirea's play gym
Tenny- I'm with kel. Don't worry about her i know it's hard. You are a wonderful mother & don't let anyone tell u that ur not. U raise ur kids however u want. If u want to leave ur kids with ur hubby that's ur decision to make not ur grandmother, tell her to mind her own buisness, tell her that she has raised her child/children, & that it's ur turn to raise ur children. Big hugs sweety.
Missy- I'm sorry to hear callum is sick. poor bubba. Wat's wrong with him?
Well have a few to many wines last night. Feeling abit hung...lol Thank god DH got up to the kids at 6.30 and let me sleep in. god love him.
Tanis glad your dh understood. But how the hell did I end up on his msn.???
Tenny hun I wish everyone would just keep there 2c worth to them selves some times.
Kell yes you had a very busy day. Well Callum has just been throwing up every now and then. He is ok just all of a sudden he will be sick. but really didnt want to tell you with you feeling the way you are ATM hun. yesterday he was abit sleeping and really didnt do much just laid on the loung. But FIL was driving him to swimming and then he was sick in the car. It just comes and go.
Anastasia morning hun I know you said he doesnt drink much but maybe try increasing his bottles(he will take it all in time) then he might sleep. Also try dummy, cuddles then put him back nice and tight in his bed. I find Liam loves being wrapped lightly then tucked nice and tight in his bed. He always has his arms out the top. Do you have a night ligth with music or some thing like that. Liam falls asleep to his xmas tights around his cot and music playing. His xmas light go by batteries so its nice and safe. Little teddy bears. I hope he will sleep through soon. He is just use to his bottles at night. Keep at it hun. Is he having solids 3 times a day??
well better head off. heaps so washing to do. Not a nice day today, abit cloudy.
Missy.. lordy, i think im feeling a bit hung over reading that colour! lol. Aww poor Callum. Reading it doesnt effect me to much.. just more hearing Jesse or Keira cough or moan the wrong way, sends me into a panic. I wonder if Callum is illergic to something hes eaten? Being its happening every now and then. Hope hes feeling better soon.
Tasia.. oh you poor thing. Hope you can get him into some sort of routine soon. It may take a few nights though do remember. But once you find something stick to it and hopefully he will start sleeping through. Have you tried just giving him cooled boiled water when he wakes of a night rather than the bottle? Maybe hes waking thirsty?
Just went up to the shops.. againn.. to grab a few last minute things. Seeing a gf tomorrow so had to buy Jesse's mate a present.
Lazy day today then going to IL's for dinner. We're going to go Christmas light looking tonight which should be fun. Jesse's going to love it.
Missy - could it just be a bug or something? Sometimes they make ya puke at the weirdest moments - and then seem to lie dormant until something else sets it off? Anyway, I hope he feels better soon - I hate vomiting.
Tenny, Tenny, Tenny - my love. Please DO NOT listen to your b!tch of a grandmother. Tell her to SHOVE her opinions where you know I would say to SHOVE them. Her opinions have no reflection whatsofreakinever of how you mother your children, nor should they EVER.
Repeat after me - I am a GREAT mother... I love my boys... I would die for my boys... and TO HELL with anyone else who DARES to give unwelcome opinion about something that is none of their bloody business.
Either that - or tell me where she is and I'll tell the nasty cow a few things or two what to do with her freakin opinions.
Anyhoooooo - after I just gave Tenny's grandmother a mental serve...
DS did a wee in the potty today - I was sooo proud!!!!!! Wasn't so proud when he then began playing with the wee - but the main thing is he knew what to do on the potty and held it in whilst running from one end of my brothers place to the other where the potty was saying, "run.. mummy hurry... hurry"... was quite funny...
DD has been quite unsettled and has a bit of a temp. I think DH is taking her to the docs tomorrow - he is on holidays now - I've still got a couple of days left of work.
Anyhoo - best be off getting stuff ready for tomorra!!!
Well hubby & i went to Ikea to look for pull out bed. We want some, but hubby wasn't too sure about measurements. we r going back before he's off to Vietnam.
Kel- hey sweety. yeah i have tried giving him cooled boil water, he's not interested.
Missy- hey sweety, yes he does have dummy i do give it to him. I stopped wrapping him when he was 3 months old. I rather not go back into wrapping him up again only because he hates it, he keeps fighting it & we r getting warmer days sometimes, i know there are light blankets, but i prefer not to. Jonathan is having 2 solids a day, he's having brekky in the morning & as of 2m i will start him on potatoes. I was thinking of contiuing giving him puree apple in the arvo??
Anastasia - maybe he's waking up a few hours after a bottle because of a bit of wind? Do you burp him after you feed him at night?
And I wouldn't be too concerned about him still waking at night for a bottle - its not uncommon to have a baby still waking up during the night at a year old for a feed - I know DS was still waking at around 4am till about 6 or 7 months or something - and that was with a feed at 10pm as well. Maybe he just needs the stuff in his belly yeah? I've always gone by the thought that if they wake up for the bottle, they must need it, and they'll drop it when they are ready, not when you want them too.
Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it sounds like you are trying everything to change his sleeping habits - and maybe its not his sleeping habits - but what he needs to eat that is more important.
Not every baby sleeps through and drops feeds early.
Mel- Yeah i do burp him after every bottle feed. Nah man ur not being harsh, i think i am changing his sleeping habits, i will stop. As for him waking up in the middle of the night for feed i will give it to him, if he's hungry, he's hungry.
That's the point I was trying to make - if he's hungry - just feed him. Don't worry about setting up bad habits, or anything like that - he's a baby - he's just hungry. You don't know if he's going through a growth spurt or anything like that, and I don't know about you - but I'd feel awfully guilty if I tried for a couple of hours trying to get a baby to settle - and it turned out my child was hungry and just needed a bottle!!!
The bottle is always the first thing I try when my babies wake up - cos if its hunger - its easily solved. Those nights where nothing seems to be the problem - and they reject the bottle - then its time to bring out the big guns !!!
Hey folks.... hope you've all had a good weekend!
Been very busy here but pretty good.... had a fabulous time at the MG party with all the dads.... got some more photos which I will post probably tomorrow and put up a link
Don't know if I can catch up on personals but here goes...
Tasia sorry hon I can't even remember what the problem was that you rang the 24 hour line for, I thought it was cause J was waking at 4am every morning? Anyway my only suggestion would be make sure he gets an extra bottle in the day cause maybe he is not getting enough hope he sleeps better for you
Kel hope you had a good time looking at the Xmas lights! We were going to go and look at some in Manly this week but not sure we'll have time.... it's going so fast!
Missy sorry to hear Callum is sick. Are you still going to Zee's to meet up tomorrow? Do you know what time? The window cleaner is coming but that should be early so I will leave here after that. Not sure how long it will take me to get there.... just wanted to confirm it's still on since my phone is still disconnected I worry I have missed people trying to contact me!
Tenny your grandma sounds like a big meanie! and yes one of the girls had a santa suit it was so cute!
Mel, Tan you gorgeous girls big kiss!
ah I'm running out of steam LOL big to SW, Belle, Mez, feeb and everyone else I missed!
CANT SEEM TO FIND THE POST I DID A FEW DAYS AGO (WED), MAYBE IT DIDNT WORK
Sorry im so outta the loop, just wanted to say im feeling much better.. still bruised ((looks like DH has bashed me LOL), had a great bday and Laila had her bday party today and had heaps of fun.
Kellxx- Glad you told your mum what you thought, I got the shakes when I told MIL off for the 1st time.
Rach- Hun im not sure whats happening thats why I have popped on, still come over even if Missy cant make it. Anytime after 9 is ok, I will just be podding around my place lol.
Hey girls, sorry I can't do too many personals tonight, feeling sick and so tired!! I'll do my best though.
Tasia: Can't remember if I said to you on FB the other night but with Jonathan just go with the flow and let him lead the way, I wouldn't let anyone tell you that you should be getting a 5mth old out night feeds. I always fed J first if he woke during the night, he only did it during growth spurts and teething. You can alway catch up on sleep during the day when Jonathan sleeps if you are struggling with that (I did), housework will still be there when you wake up.
Mel: WOOHOO ARICYN!!!! Now its time to encourage (but don't push ) and he will be TT'ed in no time!!
Missy: No idea how you got on each others MSN's very strange haha. Hows Callum tonight?
Tenny: OMG @ you grandmother!!! I second everything Mel said, you are the best mother your boys can have and they are gorgeous boys at that! I also read your other thread (sorry I haven't responded) I agree with you I was horrified when I read it! Oh hun I wish you lived closer so I can give you a big ! You can always state your opinions in here or PM me I'll listen
Re: Xmas cards....No problem, it was a pleasure making and sending them If anyone didn't get one its cause I don't have your address....if you PM me your address I can send one
Jayden has been a right PITA the last few days, I know he isn't well but OMG!! He was having "issues" about going to bed tonight, Mel when you text me he was having a tantie over not wanting the light off. I eventually calmed him and he touches my boob and asks "whats that" he know what they are but I told him and he said "Oh.....Ashee likes those, Ashee likes your boobies" I laughed and said yes she does, he said how he has baby boobies but its too dark to see them then said how he wanted boobies! I told him boys don't get boobies and he had another tantrum saying " NO BUT ME WANT THEM!!" I told him "fine get them when your older then" LOL Anyway lots of whinging, a toilet trip and a custard later, I eventually said I have to pee now I'll be back and I haven't heard from him since so hopefully he's asleep.
I put Ashlea in the cot for a sleep today for the first time, I went shopping about 45mins later and apparently she woke up not long after I left so either she didn't like it or just wasn't that tired then.
My xmas party was great last night, although it was a bit windy on the boat. I had about 5 or 6 drinks....no 2 the same! Luckily I sobered up well before we got back as I was so conerned over if I needed to feed Ashlea and came to the conclusion I wouldn't dream feed her I'll have another drink and I'll be right by the time she wakes up herself early hours of the morning....didn't even think of the fact that we drove there so I have to drive home!! All was good though and I fed Ash before I went to bed at 1.30m. Anyway thats the reason I am soooo tired today, no hang over though thank god!! Just wasn't impressed with Ashlea waking at 6.30am haha.
Just a quick pop in this morning before we head off to see my girlfriend and her kiddies. We're all dressed just waiting to go now.
We went and saw some Christmas lights last night.. oh Jesse absolutely loved them! I was almost in happy tears hearing him so excited each house we went to saying "wwoooooww" and "loooook". Oh its such a great feeling. Was a late night for him as it doesnt really get dark until about 8-8.30pm and hes usually in bed about 7.30pm. We got home about 9.30pm. But he did so well and im so glad we did it. Keira slept the whole way which was probably a good thing.
I best get going. Hope you all have a great day! Only 3 sleeps until Christmas!!!
Hope we r all having a nice morning. Jonathan slept ok last night, he went to sleep at 11.30 then he woke up at 12.30, went and checked up on him but he fell asleep asap. He then woke up at 5.45am, but he was happy and taled to himself, i stayed in bed till 6am & got up and fed him, Thank-u all so much for ur help & advices. I'm sorry if I was winging or complaining ( i didn't really mean to be).
Kel- that is so cute that Jesse was happy to see xmas lights at houses Have a great day sweety
Tan- Yeah u have mentioned it before about going with the flow & I will. About was u sleeping during the day while Jonathan is asleep, I can't it's me I can't sleep during the day, I will only just lie down on the couch & watch telly. Glad u had a great time last night. LOL Jayden so cute that he said lol how funny. Yaaay for putting Ashlea in her cot for the first time, even though it was a short time, but she will get used to it
Anastasia - I was thinking this over this morning - and you said he doesn't drink the boiled water - how are you giving it to him? If you are trying it out of a bottle - try it with a sippy cup instead
Kel - aww that woulda sounded sooo cute!!!!!! I love it when DS gets all excited about something and yells "mummeee... LOOK"... pmsl.. its sooo cute..
Tan - J is so funny!!!! Such a treasure And yay for having a few drinks - you go girl
I'm at work today - DH is home with DD - having a daddy/daughter day! DS is at daycare for the last time this year. Umm yeah.. thats all from here!!!
