Debbie - Can't agree more, it's so nice going to a park that is fenced in. There are plenty near me that aren't and I spend all the time chasing him around.
So do you find if Aiden sleeps well in the day he sleeps well at night too? I've often wonderd that myself.
Lewis is starting to say a few more things like 'what's that' and what's this' to everything. He also says 'key' when we are ready to go out (which is a good reminder to me!) And when you ask him where's his nose, eyes etc he will point, although often to the wrong place. Yesterday I asked him where's your Thomas book and he pointed to his face
I have been temping this month so am unofficially in the 2ww. I say unofficially because my temps aren't that accurate because Lewis wakes up at different times each day. Anyway Christmas day would be day 28 so watch this space.....
Ooooh Celsie forgot all about the lovely side effects of being preggers.
Sarah, def, if Aiden has a good day sleep, he sleeps wonderfully over night. Yesterday, after the park, he slept for 3 hours solid. I did give him a dream feed about 30min in, as, i knew he hadnt had anything substancial to eat, and i didnt want him waking up grumpy and hungry after only an hour.
Last night, other then waking just before midnight cause he couldnt find his dummy, i havent heard a peep, where as the previous 2 nights, where his day sleeps where only about 45min, he was wide awake at 4am, and i was leaving him to play in his cot till he went back to sleep about 2hours later, and still, he was awake again at 7, and grumpy as anything for the rest of the day.
You would think it would be the other way around, no day sleep, better night sleep, but, they need to feel rested and content sorta i guess.
Anyway - best of luck. I hope you get a BFP soon!! How long did it take you with Lewis?
Been a bit quiet here recently... Hope everyone is doing well and not getting too stressed out with Christmas shopping and stuff.
Well, I think I win the bad mummy award for the year: DH put Diana on the potty on Saturday and then called out to me in a very surprised voice "why is Diana wearing no nappy?". I went to check, and sure enough, she didn't have one. I know that she didn't take it off herself, so the only explanation is that I forgot to put one on her when I dressed her in the morning. Doh! I have no idea how I could have done that. To Diana's credit, she didn't wee or poo during her nappy free morning.
Debbie - Diana is the same - the better she sleeps during the day the better she sleeps at night and vice versa if she doesn't get a decent nap during the day.
Sarah - good luck with TTC.
Hi to everyone else. I will try to post again tomorrow.
Starfish - awww you're not a bad mummy!! Diana maybe is just showing you she's ready for TT......."Well mummy didn't put that big white thing on me this morning so hey! I'll just hold it in!" Oh my parents did that once but they actually got out the house to their destination before they realised upon picking their little one up that, ooh, no nappy at all!! Thank goodness for packed nappy bags!! Lol!
Sorry been MIA too....DH & I have been holed up in our bedroom .... tmi warning ..... vomiting both ends!! Thank goodness for MIL!! She's an angel for sure! Stayed the night and everything. Our little ones are fine thank goodness although on Sunday, DD#2 vomited all over me! She was sitting on my lap facing me and so had no where to go except me! but that's all she did so we thought that maybe she ate too much breakfast too fast and then skulled her milk too fast and then ran around too soon (now there's a bad mummy moment! ) and so I bore the fruit (and weetbix) of consequence....ewwwwww. But DH & I had temps, aches, the lot so Anyways, we're coming good to make that last mad dash to the christmas finish line now! Eeeep!
Seriously though, DD#2 shovels like a coal train!! We're trying to teach her to slow down but I swear she thinks the food will disappear if she doesn't keep it comin'!! DD#2 has also become an even bigger copy cat. She will immediately copy what her big sister does, good or bad Pegs wooden blocks straight at her head........maybe hold off on coming round to play Celsie whilst I tame my bull dozer! *blush*
Charly - sorry to hear that you have been sick. Thank goodness for MIL hey. I guess they come in useful from time to time. Hope you are all fit and healthy for christmas! Maybe Santa will bring a new puzzle peice..
Zofia - we all have moments of blankness.. especially if we're tired. You know that "i will just do that in a minute' and next thing you know, 1/2hr later and its completly out of our minds.. Good on Diana for holding it all in thou.
Aiden didnt have a sleep at all on Tuesday, we had to go to our 19week scan, so, after playgroup, i took Aiden to MIL's, he fell asleep in teh car as expected about 3min from her house, but, the moment he realised he wasnt going into his own bed, he woke up.. So, i left him, in the hope he would be so tired, he would go back to sleep, but, no such luck. We had a bad Tuesday night, it took me an hour of driving him yesterday to get him to fall asleep (after spending nearly an hour of him being a tired screaming hysterical mess trying to get him to sleep in his cot) only, to have him wake up again after being asleep for about 20min. Slightly better last night, and hopefully, will get him to have a proper day sleep today. Its surprising how quickly we get used to a full nights sleep.
I dont know what i will do know when Bubba #2 comes along. The original plan was for MIL to take time off work, and have Aiden during the day, while i was in hospital, and DH to take time off work when i get home from hospital (he's a subby, so he doesnt get paid if he doesnt work) However, if Aiden wont have a day sleep while at MIL's house, he will be a mess. He will be almost 2, but, i am sure still needing a day sleep. I am thinking that MIL will have to be my house, instead of Aiden being at her house, so that he goes to sleep in his own bed.. Just another thing for me to worry about..
Anyway, he's just about finished his breakfast, apparently, he's hungry today, a bottle, a peice of toast, and a banana. Normally, its a bottle and about 1/2 if that of the toast..
