Emily didn't want to sleep either today :wall: She had 2x30 minute sleeps all day. She was happy though, but I do enjoy my break from her, and Nina, when they're sleeping.
That sounds so cute of him laranna! Emily is a real chatterbox too, and very loud.
Went to the park with a friend and her kids today. Her youngest is 3 months old, and he is huge! He was 7.4kg at 2 months, so I reckon he'd be about 9kg now. He's about the same length as Emily, which is quite long, but just so chubby.
Jodi - Josh didn't want to sleep again today! But last night he went down at 9:30ish and didn't wake up until 9am this morning!!! That was his longest sleep ever. I had my breakfast, had a shower AND managed to vacuum and mop the floors before he woke up!
Emily is wide awake and giggling. She's been awake since 3am, and I'm so tired.
Jodi you poor thing being up at 3am. Did Emily eventually go back to sleep?
I have also just joined facebook Kristale Mateljan if anyone wants to add me.
Doh Jodi, I hope Emily is having a big snooze for you now. :hug:
She went back to bed at 5.30 and slept till 8. And is having another sleep now. Naughty little girl, I'm so tired, and my house looks like a bomb has hit it (thanks to Nina!).
Hi girls
Just wanted your opinions on something. I sent this email to my mothers group after only two people out of 8 turned up and they were late so I was sitting with all this preparation thinking no one was going to show (it was horrible) wondering what I had done wrong. I did get calls but from an hour before to 15mins before now it seems some people have taken offence. Is this really offencive? I thought it just would have been common courtesy especially when all but one knew before that morning they wouldnt be there due to sickness and so on.Should I have just left it? Please let me know guys coz I thought it was ok.
Hi girls
I just wanted to send an email to suggest that maybe in the future we can try and give the person holding mothers group more notice when we are not going to be able to make it.
I realise that sometimes this might not be possible as babies are so unpredictable. It is just that I was up this morning baking scones and cooking for our meeting and only two people made it so it was a lot of effort that I went to when if I had of known I would not have baked so much.
I hope the babes that are not to well are doing ok.
:hug: Kristale...I don't think your email is offensive. I think it's pretty reasonable to give someone as much notice as possible if they can't make it. You are good for baking!!! :) Our MG we just put out some choccie biccies and some fruit and some sweet treats from the bakery. But there is only 5 of us in ours.
I don't think the email was harsh, or offensie either. Like Laranna has said, you put in the effort to bake. Even if you didn't bake, and bought food, you will still need to know how many to cater for. It's just common courtesy to let someone know that you won't be attending something.
Thanks for your opinions girls. Good to know I'm not the only one that didnt think it was offensive.
Kristale I didn't think it was offensive either.. It is rude to give such short notice.
I can't believe my baby girl is 5 months old today!! Where does the time go?
My friend is having a c/s today. Her dates say she is 37 weeks the hospital are saying 36w 3 days. I hope the bubs does well and isn't in special care for too long.
Well I'm scared to say it out loud in fear of jinxing it but my girls have both been in bed for the night well before 9pm for the last 3 nights!
love & hugs xox
Before 9pm shez, I'm schocked :lol: Hopefully it continues. Are you going to bed any earlier?
Good luck to your friend having a c/s. Hopefully bub is cooked enough. Why are they doing it if they think her dates are only 36+3 weeks?
I just picked Emily up out of bed, and when I reached down to pick her up, she held out her arms to me. :clap: First time she's done that.
She was awake every 3 hours last night. No idea why. I'm thinking she may have been a little cold :dunno: but I still feel like I've had plenty of sleep. Nina is at kindy today, so I have to do some grocery shopping as we have nothing left in the cupboard/fridge.
I know Jodi it seems silly to be excited about before 9 but in the house thats a big deal!!;)
No stupidly I'm not going to bed earlier but my house is staying clean which is as good as extra sleep in my book!
My friend is a diabetic (not just gestational) and is showing signs of pre-eclampsia and bub is big anyway so it's safest to get her out, they have more control once she's out...
How cute that Emily reached up to you.. I can't wait for that!!
I forgot to mention, Ava is rolling both ways..I find her in her cot on her back in the mornings!! ( she's a tummy sleeper)
They are growing up too fast...
How cute of Ava rolling like that! I really love her name btw. Emily is still only rolling from back to belly, hasn't done belly to back yet. But she's just lazy lol. She's more content laying around watching Nina race around destroying the house. I'm sure in a few months she'll be joining Nina, and they will both be destroying the house. :o
I think I'm going to have get one of those airwrap thingys that you use instead of cot bumpers. Emily keeps getting her head, legs and arms stuck through the rails in her cot.
Well I hope your friend has a speedy recovery from her c/s. Let us know how she goes with it all.
ETA: hey, I just noticed you're in Brissy! DH and I are coming down your way in November for the weekend, kid-free!
How nice that you and DH are getting away.
We are going away in 0ct as a family, I can't wait our first holiday as a foursome!!
I was thinking about getting one of those airwray things too. Ava is forever shoving an arms out the rails.
Thanks for the wishes for my friend, still no news yet. I recovered really well from both my c/s so I am hoping she does too.
It's funny you mentioned Ava's name as I was just thinking when I was looking at your ticker that she was going to be Ava Mae!! And then we changed it to Ava Louise!
Hugs to all xo
Shez - I hope your friend recovers well and that everything turns out good. My bub was born at 36+6 and he was fully cooked! So hopefully your friends bub is "ready" enough as well.
Jodi - that is so cute that Emily reaches up to you!
I'm so jealous of all your bubs rolling already! Josh is still working on pushing himself up on his tummy!! Nevermind the rolling...I'm sure it will come in time though :)
He has found some new sounds with his voice and loves trying them out. I repeat them back to him and he loves it. You can see him trying make sounds with his tongue and mouth, really interesting and cute.
It so cute when they interact with you isn't it!!
My friend had her baby, 8lb6oz doing well!!
8lb, 6oz at 37 weeks!! OMG! Definitely time to come out.
laranna - when he's running around the house getting into EVERYTHING, you'll be sitting back watching and thinking back to this age and how wonderful it was that they didn't move.
