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..
Hi girls!
Debbie. How long are you planning on staying at hospital? I came home the next day (Ethan was born at home then went to the hospital at 1130pm for stitches)... and so no need to care for Ashley elsewhere.
She is the same wont sleep at anyones house. doesnt even like to be left at anyones house.
willbe interesting to see how FDC goes in janurary!
Sorry i have been MIA a lot girls... you know how is could be with 2 bubs under 18 months... can you believe ethan is now 10 weeks!!! omg
Ashley is a real cheeky monkey now. Very smart that i cant fool her.. we ar ein the process of toliet training . she recognises when she needs to pee and poo and occasionally we get it in the toliet lol.
today in the backyard we had nudie time and she started topee - pointed at her vajayjay and then looked at me and went pwoah (this is her word and she waved her hnad into fron of her nose lol)... hehe.
starfish. it sounds like she is getting ready for tt. easpeically if she is holdin on for a hour or two!! Ashley is the same and doesnt like nappys on atm hehe. Luckily she hasnt worked out how to get the snapped cloth nappies off! lol the velcro yes but not the snap!
we bought undies and i let her wear them occasionally but she pees everywhere !lol sick of mopping hehe.
well better go Ethan is waking... (he hasnt pooed in 3 days... so waiting for the explosion)
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!
