Happy Easter Everyone!

TOJ, thats great! hope it continues

Well I'm not feeling very well at the moment bad headache and really tired if I didn't have AF i would be suspicious!

Noah has been a bit off too he had his breakfast bottle at 7.30 and at 10.30 he had his solids but no matter how hard we tried he wouldn't drink his bottle then 1.30 he had his solids and took til 3 to have his bottle and then he had a sleep til 5.30 so a long sleep and then had solids and now won't have his bottle againso thinking he might have a bit of something??? Any ideas?

P.S just noticed I cracked the 400 mark with my posts! Don't have many posts considering how long I've used the site for I suppose I tend to read more than I have things to say!

Hi everyone!
Happy Easter to all
I hope the chocolate delivery came to everyones house!

DH and I didnt do easter this year. We figured that we had better things to spend our money on. MIL brought us stuff though. Kaetlyn got some toys, and clothes!

Nothing much happening here, the people behind are having a party, the third one this weekend. Not happy Jan! The music goes straight through to Kaetlyns room, and it is really really loud tonight. On friday night we had to take her for a drive at midnight to get her to sleep. she was getting to sleep but the noise was waking her up, so we drove until we knew she was deep in sleep, and it worked. fingers crossed she is okay tonight. I have just put her down, so hopefully she will get to sleep okay.

She has been busy pulling herself up. When ever she gets to her feet, she gives a big smile like she is proud of herself! Her favourite words are Mamamama and pfffffffffff. DH is abit upset that she still isnt saying Dada, as everyone told him that babies always say dada first!

Jas- on AF- atleast your problem is solved on why you dont feel good!. Do you give bottle first always? How many is he on a day now? Sorry cant really help. I am still BF and KAetlyn only has two solid meals a day.

TOJ- great work on the routine! Glad to hear that he had a good sleep! I hope that you are getting rest while you can as well. that he woke up. hehe next time, come and let us know after he has slept for a long time, you might not jinx yourself then!!!

Sacha, glad to hear you had an awesome dinner. maybe you should drop a few hints as to how good it was, to have a dinner cooked for you!!!

Raels- great news on your nephew and his son. He must be so small, poor little tike! Good to hear that he is well though. Oh and I almost forgot, no chocolate here for bub! she is just getting chocolate flavoured milk for the next couple of weeks!!!!

Well thats it from me on this fine night! fingers crossed its not going to be a late one!

Hey Ladies!!

I hope everyone had a great easter. Mine was pretty good. Had good food a few drinks, some chocolate and felt mighty sick after it all that I needed a nap!! hehe We had easter at my sisters and next year it is my turn. I made pavlova and brought it over there, I have more in my fridge and tempted to eat some more but still feeling a little off... maybe a bit more chocolate instead

We've had a break through here!! Avaleigh has slept through the night for two nights now!! YAY! First night she slept through til 5am, which I thought was pretty good cause she went back down until 7am. And then this morning she slept through to 7am!! YAY Looked like I had a boob job when I woke up in the morning though Lets hope we can make it 3 nights in a row. I am making much more an effort in getting her to burp and this seems to be helping.

I'd say Avaleigh will be walking by herself soon. I think by 10 months she is really going to be walking. We now have her on the walking frame, so much easier than walking her around!! And she can stand by herself with no support for about 10 seconds and then she realises she is doing it herself and freaks out a little and plonks back down. What a clever girl!! I have her on the video camera walking with the walking frame, must get it off one of these days..

Well going to go crash on the couch. NIGHT!

Hi ladies

Hope you all had a lovely Easter Day with you bubba's.

Ethan did have his first try of chocolate today and well he had a lick and wasnt really interested, he had more fun throwing it around Im pretty happy with that though because i dont really think i want him to be a chocohlic like me

I am a bit annoyed at my IL's though as i said please dont get Ethan eggs as he wont be able to eat them, i told them that i got him a tiny egg that he could have a little taste of but that's it. Well between Mil, Step Fil and sil ethan has like 10!!! chocolate eggs One of them is a big football one! Grrrr and they kept trying to give it to him, and i said not too and they told me im cruel!! Luckily he wasnt interested and crawled off to play. The upside is that i will eat them for him lol I didnt get a visit from easter bunny this year! DH forgot.

Veronica- Welldone Avaleigh!! I bet you feel a bit more human now you have gotten some sleep! Im sure half the time i walk around with my eyes closed. I think ethan might be walking by 10 months too!

Sara- Lound neighbours are real PITA hey, we have them too, hopefully they stop soon so you can all get a goodnights sleep.

Jas- hope you and Noah are feeling better. Im not much help either im afraid, ethan is good with his bottles, just solids that he is a bit funny with but in his case i think its teething thats bothering him.

Well i must be off, pretty tired tonight, been sorting our guest/junk room today as thats where everything was shoved when we moved in and its still there lol and we have people coming to stay in a few weeks!!

Goodnight ladies

Good morning!!!

I feel sooo much more awake today. 3 nights of sleeing through!! YAY!! I did hear one cry on the monitor at midnight and thought that the sleeping through was good while it lasted but I didnt hear anything else so went back to sleep! So we are both feeling good this morning. Its amazing how if she doesnt sleep through the night she wakes up grumpy like me. haha

Anyway, better go and get her breaky sorted cause we are going out on a family outting soon. Unfortunately Jason needs to work, but I am sure we will have more fun with out him..

V ~ Oh thats great news about Avaleigh's sleeping! Well done! Hopefully it's just a matter of making sure that wind is up before she goes down now.

Raels ~ I hope your nephews little bubba continues to do well so he can come home soon.

Jess ~ Good luck with Ethans routine. Sounds like he was spoilt with all that chocolate even though it was pretty pointless! The thought was nice though I suppose.

Sara ~ We get that a bit here too from people partying across the road. They like to party every weekend too.

Jas ~ Hope you are feeling better today. I understand what you mean in regards to Noah and his bottles. Lucas did the same thing while solids were being established, and I know Megan's Lucas did too. I decided to offer just 3 X bottles a day instead. 3 x 250ml is still a good amount, with juice and water in between to keep him hydrated. Then just when I had that sorted he had a huge growth spurt and was back on 5 bottles again last weekend!

Well my little boy is all over the place ATM. His teeth have given him no trouble at all but one came through on saturday and he has been agitated ever since! He has also had a bit of a gastro overload this weekend, trying meat, fish and weetbix for the first time. I think it has been a bit much on his tummy so will take it easy with plain fruit and veg this week.

He is in his jolly jumper at the moment. He has been full of beans and not wanting to go to sleep all weekend despite not feeling 100%, so its been an exhausting weekend!

It's a gorgeous day here today so we are going for a walk along the breakwall and to take Lucas for a swim at the beach.

Hope you all had a good Easter. xoxox

AMM- The gastro might be caused from his teeth coming through. I know some babies get violent smelling runny #2 when their teeth are on the move. Just a thought

Well I hope you all have lovely a lovely easter. We did, and it was as a whole family too, yey!! Dh had the entire weekend off, shock horror, it was lovely.

Hi ladies

I had the fright of my life today and am dreading a next time, I was cooking tea and ethan was in his bouncy thing watching (wont let him crawl around the kitchen while im cooking) and he got restless so i let him out and popped him in the lounge room, its open plan so i could see him, but i turned my back for 10 secs and he was gone!! Found him in the study trying to get out the cat flap, sigh of relief and then back in the bouncy thing, finished cooking and popped him in the lounge so i could go to the toilet before serving dinner, i put him back in his bouncy thingd gave him his dummy, got the plates and heard a funny sound turned around and he was CHOKING....my poor little man was gasping for breath so i pulled him out and layed him on my forearm and started patting him on the back and it wouldn't work, i was terrified, i ended up pulling it out with my fingers as i couldnt get it out by patting (it was firm too) and around his mouth was going blue and it was a piece of plastic wrapper off the top of the raffertys baby food, and there was blood on it so its either cut/scratched him or i did it with ny finger nail when i got it out. Honestly its the most terrifying thing and i panicked and started crying because he couldnt breathe and i didnt think i was going to get it out, but omg i felt like such a bad mum I have no idea where he got it from either. He has been a bit grizzly since so i think he may have a bit of a tender throat. Im just so glad i have done my SFA course and rembered what to do even though i did panic.

Raels- Glad that you got too see your nephew and he is doing okay. Yay too oliver for crawling, and at the same time as lexxen too! Ethan is saying dad all the time to, im dad and the cats are dad also lol.

Sarah- Hi and welcome to you and bayleigh! My Ethan was born the day after bayleigh! I have been having some sleep issues too but were getting there with a new routine. Hope the dream feed works for you, i dream feed ethan before i go to bed at night and it seems to help him sleep that bit longer, good for me too if i have gone to sleep a few hours after ethan as i get to sleep a bit too.

Bec- What a fantastic sleep! Welldone Xavier Ethan has been getting a bit constipated on and off too so on the days like that i give him a bit of extra fruit too. I have to tell you that you are doing a wonderful job with juggling work and everything else, it must be tough, iam struggling with getting a good sleep routine and i dont work!! Welldone

Mel- How great that DH was home with you charlize and jack for easter, im glad you all had a lovely time.

AMM- How is lucas going now? Did you end up going for your walk and swim? It sounded like a nice idea.

Well im off i have to go check ethan, he has been asleep for 30mins but im a bit paranoid atm! Then i have to go look for some dvd's that the CHN lent me to do with sleep school awhile ago as i have ethans 8 month check up on wednesday and better return them Cant wait to see how much my bubba weighs though! Goodnight ladies
