Hi all,
Veronica, what cheeky little scalliwags babies are changing all the time, just when we think we're getting used to them. We have had times where xavier just wouldn't sleep in his bed at all, and yet the last few days he's been great! Sometimes I wonder if he's bed is too hot or too cold so if he was drowsey the change in temp wakes him up iykwim. Maybe avaleighs bed isn't as toasty as snuggling in with mum? try putting a heat pack or hot water bottle in before you feed her, then take it out when shes ready to go to bed??
Fran, I look forward to reading your story, I'm off their next.
Zofia, you poor thing, I'm also scared of the day xav falls off something, 'cause as much as I would hate it to happen I think it's inevidable. as the others said I'm sure she's ok. If your really worried about concussion just talk to her and see if she's responisive eg eyes following, turning towards sounds smiling etc. (but I would try that at a time you know she's not tired so you don't stess yourself out just because of a tired baby iykwim.
How clever your little girl is too, she's going to be a breez to toilet train! I'm paying careful attention to how you go, maybe the potty is something we could try for the next bubs. Was it difficult at the start? I imagine boys would be different because they tend to spray with range
I could have shot nathan before, I was in the kitchen and there was a knock at the door, nathan was chaning xav, and left him on the change table while he answered the door. I told him off and he was like he's fine, grr I said yes but one day he will fall off. Change tables are twice as high as a couch and a knock at the door is not a valid distraction.
Mel I hope it's your weekend, I'm sure the person who's buying your house has been through it today and is just getting ready to make an offer.
Sara, poor katleyn, Hopefully it was only one day and isn't continuing. even if all you have to do is cuddle for some reason it's very tiring huh?
Her baptism dress sounds lovley, aren't you clever and crafty to make one. I can only really sew square things
Well I'm really sorry but i have to share fantastic news. Xavier fed at about 8.30 last night after happily playing on the floor with dad for about 30 mins, and then fel into a deep sleep. He was asleep and in bed by about 9.15 and didn't wake up uuntil 4.15 am!! yes that's 7 hours!! I was so happy. Then after feeding him at 4.45am he was staring up at me smiling. At first I didn't think he was going to go back to sleep, but in the end I just put him back in his cot and walked away. He then slept till 7.30 when I nudged nathan and said your turn (being saturday and all) Nathan got him up, changed him played a little, then when he started getting grizzly he went and had a shower with him. they came back at 8.30 and I'd fallen asleep again
Needless to say i'm pretty happy with that.
Only problem right now is we have to go to my mums for tea soon, and he's fast asleep, i don't want to wake him.
Well wishing you all a good night tonight and hopefully a sleep in of sorts in the morning.

Hi all, just popping in for a quick one...have had a busy day with visitors and shopping - had to buy a new baby bath b/c Alessia was launching herself in the old bath, to almost jump out of the water. Hard to explain, but b/c she's so long, we needed a new bath! Take care everyone, and I hope you're having an awesome weekend!!!

WOOO HOOO, Zyon slept last night after a feed at 8:30pm, til 3am!!!
LIfe is so much easier now he's on meds!!!
That's my little brag for the day!!!
Registered User
Yey Tracey, that is great news. Just in time for Bali too. Is it still just gaviscon he is on? I'm thinking about trying some instead of the mylanta.
Registered User
Rebecca - Xavier is such so cute!!
Tracey - yay for Zyon. No wonder you feel terrific today - 8.30 until 3am in great.
Mel - lot of house selling vibes coming your way. I hope Charlee and Jack are both feeling better.
Charlotte had her longest sleep last night as well - she went from 10pm until 5.35am so I am pretty happy with that and Oliver and Jesse slept until 6.30am and 7am respectively so we are pretty happy here!!

Wow...yay for sleeping bubbas last night! Alessia also decided she was going to do a long one...10pm til 5am...trouble is, once I feed her again at 5am, she doesn't want to go back to sleep until around 9-10am!!! I guess I shouldn't complain!
Thanks for sharing those pics of Xavier Rebecca, he's gorgeous!!!

Hi Mums,
Tracey – it’s so good to hear that Zyon has improved finally. And YAY for the long sleep – you must feel like a new woman, and he probably feels pretty good too. Here’s hoping it continues.
Rebecca – Xavier is such a cutie, you’ve got some gorgeous photos. I can only ever seem to get cranky face photos of Liam, yet he can look so angelic in real life (hmm, slight bias there I think). And another YAY for the long sleep in on Saturday morning, lucky thing!
Veronica – sounds like your GP visit was really positive. Good luck with the sleep training – I find it so hard to be tough with Liam, but keep telling myself it’s for the greater good. And a few days to establish better routines & sleeping habits is probably way better than months of the alternative.
Zofia – how scary that Diana fell off the couch. It’s so easy for these things to happen in the blink of an eye. I’m sure she mostly got a shock though. The toilet training is very impressive, she’s a very clever girl from the sound of it.
Jem – another one with a long sleeping baby. I’m starting to be really envious of girls who’s bubs sleep more than 4 hours
Mel - I think I might have said this before (either that, or I definitely thought it), but it’s so good to hear that things are improving for both Jack & Charlize, and by definition for you & your DH. And good luck with the house selling, hope that you’ve had some good luck with that this weekend.
Fran – I know that you’ve been having lots of B/F trouble, but you must be doing something right for Alessia to be growing so much. LOL for having to buy another bath to fit her.
Well, my little whinge for the day – I’m sick of not fitting all my pre-pregnancy clothes & no longer fitting pregnancy clothes either. I’ve been reduced to about 1 pair of trackies, everything else is either too tight, or I spend all my time hitching them up – not a good look. And because we have such erratic sleep patterns, getting out to buy anything more is just too complicated at the moment.
Anyway, have pushed my luck a bit here , better shove some food into my mouth before he wakes up again, which given the grunting noises I can hear probably isn’t that far away!

OMG Jan I hear you on the in between sizes ATM. It's very annoying isn't. I can't wait to get back to my normal size and go shopping for some clothes. I haven't been shopping for normal clothes for like 2.5 years.
Fran, yey on the big sleep, that it great.
Well, when you think things couldn't get worse they do. Now both my bubs have a cold. Charlize is worse than Jack. Jack just has a runny nose, sneezing and sounds very conjested. But Charlee is still suffering from light fevers, runny nose, conjestion, coughing and last night she had a big spew in bed. But slept through it and it dried all over her and her cot things. Poor little thing, I don't know how she slept in that room last night, I almost got knocked for a sixer when I went in there this morning, it stunk of spewI just about to take both of them to the pharmacy to see if there is more I can do for them. Charlize is taking Dimatapp, panadol, nurophen, and saline drops for her nose. And for Jack I'm just using the saline drops as I don't know what I can give him while he is on the Zantac and Mylanta. Hopefully the pharmacy will be able to help out more. FIngers crossed it doesn't hang around too long and doesn't come back. And Charlizes eczema is still causing her alot of grief, not to mention her teeth too
I hate seeing them so sick.

Mel, Zyon is having the infant Gaviscon 2-3 times a day & just 1 satchel a time even though it says 2 as I express about 150ml during the day & add a satchel to about 50ml of EBM in a bottle then I offer him breast & he has 1ml of Zantac in morning & again at night...
That's it & he's much happier, he doesnt sleep much between day feeds but last night it was 6hrs from last feed & then 4.5, so that's so much better than the 25mins we were lucky to get!
I hope Charlee & Jack get over their colds quickly!!!
Registered User
Mel - sorry to hear that Charlee & Jack have both got colds, the poor things are still in the wars. Hopefully they'll be better in a day or so, and you get some healthy happy kids back.
A little woo hoo for me - had my 6 week post natal check up today( delayed a week, cos the OB had to do an emergency c/s last week), & all was good, but the best news is that he'll let me go for a VBAC next time. I was really worried that he'd be an automatic c/s OB, so I am just rapt. On top of this, Liam had a really happy day, with lots of smiles & some really good feeds, and good sleeping. Not long sleeping, but compared to the last few days, it's been really good. It's so much fun being part of the Mummy club sometimes

HI there,
back from wagga in one peice.
Jealous of all you girls that have babies sleeping through the night
Having a few small Bfing issues, and sleeping at night sucks, but hopefully this will get better with time.
Not much to say, not so sure people wanna hear my dribble.
Have a good day.

Nicky,
ofcourse we want to hear it all!!!
We had Maddy's school Rock Eisteddfod last night & Indah was in awe of all the kids dancing, but Zy wasnt impressed as he was all snuggly & warm then it was freezing outside & then stinking hot in the Auditorium, then freezing when leaving again, but we were home at 8:30, I got DH to bath him whilst I got Indah off to bed (she was all hyped up !) Then I fed Zy & he went to bed, he woke at 1:30, I fed & changed his nappy & he then woke at 7am!
Gosh my boy is just so different now!!!
I hope everyones going well, 4 more sleeps til we are off to Bali!!!!

Hi all,
Its me, Flossie, I hope you all remember me! I have been absent for such a long time since Olivia's birth and I am very sorry!!! Its been crazy, still healing from my tear not sure what is going on there - going to see my OB again on Monday. Its driving me crazy and I get a bit down about, its nearly 10 weeks since Olivia was born and I didn't think it would take so long to recover - nor did DH - we are itching to get back into 'the swing of things' and its quite depressing and making me down.
BUT, Olivia is a gem. Although the breastfeeding didn't go to plan she is such a good baby. Last night she slept from 8:30 - 5am, then got up at 8:45am this morning and she is back asleep.
Mel - so sorry your angels are sick, I hope they get better soon. This up and down weather around the country doesn't help!!
I am going to check out all your pictures today and see how your little ones are growing.
I am starting to ween my 'express pump' off my boob hahaha I have bought some formula and hope Olivia likes it and I don't have much trouble with it. She LOVES her food so I hope not, I just don't want her to get constipated or something.
Hope all of you are well
Floss xx
