hi all,
yawn.. Ally was up again all night, I went to bed at 9.30pm, she woke for a feed at 9.40pm,1.30am.3.30am,5.30am and has has been awake since then. She also cried at 2.30, but I refused to get up as it was an "I'm awake cry", not a "I'm hungry" cry. Is this normal??? She still only has about 3-4 x 45min naps a day...no long ones (i.e so I can't catch up on any sleep). I swear, I think I'm losing my mind, I'm sooo tired. If this is normal I will just shut up and deal with a smile...but I swear if there is an alternative (like starting solids or even dare I say control crying) I would take it at this stage!

Ho hum

IK -

If I can find my hotpants and bra top, CC, I'll take you up on the club tonight

would that be a maternity bra!!!!HOT HOT HOT.. He Hee

Rory - can I ask why you started solids before 6 months? Was Flynn waking too? Or did you just think he was hungry????
Sorry bout the sunburn - I got caught the other day too!!! looks like we need to start carrying it with us as summer is here!

Hi Karen... - [QUOTE] It is only the last 2 days that he has actually been having 2 good sleeps a day. QUOTE] Ohh, that is good news, if Ally could even have one good sleep a day I could catch up on some..what did you do different besides stay home???I'm often at home all day??? Do you just think it is an age thing?

IK - what a busy weekend for you...but we all know you - you won't be able to stay away...what is the date of your op????

Nenny - are you enjoying work? it is nice to hear from you - we miss you during the week...

CC - maybe her teeth activity is waking her? Also, if you can't believe me, believe many other women who will testify that solid feeding does not equal sleeping longer! If that is the only reason you are considering it, then I would leave off for a while longer, because you may well kick yourself. Put it this way, I know of a few breastfed babies who 'sleep through', so it's not necessarily related. I have a feeling that if she's been good at sleeping till now, then this is a temporary episode, and it may be something like teeth or just a growth spurty thing.
And, mmm, maternity bra top - can see it now, being sold on the front racks of dance shops everywhere!
Sunny day in Melbourne today - girls, don't forget the sunscreen!
Funny thing - well, not too funny. DP changed Oscar last night before we were to put him to bed. I didn't even think about it when he gave him to me to put in the HAB. I got him to sleep, transferred him to bed and then I hopped in myself. This morning during Oscar's first morning wake (after 7am, cos the radio was already on...and he'd gone to bed at about 11.30) I felt his bum when I was turning him to his side to feed (can't wait for him to be able to do this himself!) it was WET! I realised...out loud...that DP hadn't put him into a sposie, grrrr! So, I insisted that he change the nappy, just so that he could appreciate exactly why I leave him in a sposie and what I used to deal with when we had him in cloths overnight (wasn't so bad when he was a week old, but as he got older the nappies got wetter sooner!). And yep, his skin was soaked and ammonia smelling. I think DP has learned that lesson - not to forget that the last nappy change is into a sposie! Lucky for all involved I'm taking Oscar swimming so he can soak in chlorine!
better go, the boys are calling for me...they are still in bed and I just had a big glass of water and cereal...
nice and humid out!
