Well we had a great night last night, i was expecting the worst with the needles. Hamish had a screaming session for about an hour or so then did a really gross runny poo(tmi), which the mchn warned me can happen with the syrup (rot). After that he was back to his happy little self again. Slept from 8.30 to 6.30 and has been back in bed from 7.30 still asleep now. I am starting my diet today, so sick of being lazy and i eat so much its just not funny anymore. Need to shed some kilos before summer, i am feeling very uncomfortable at the moment so i know i need to get it happening. Hopefully i can do it on my own, but if not i will look into a program. Ok i best go do some housework before Hamish wakes. Have a nice day everyone.
Jess: yes i did want to take more time off not long ago. but with dh's op and teeth and the loan we already have we r struggling really bad. it makes it really hard because DH gets paid monthly. the only reason y i wanted more time off was cause of the long days i do. next yr once the twins go i will be doing 830 to 430 and not letting anyone talk me into anything dif.
it is so hard i need to go back but i dont want to. i am sick of borrowing money off people i absolutly hate asking so thats how bad it is for us at the moment. but yet DH's family think we r loaded.
well even after jayda gettin up 3 times last night i still had a great morning this morning. i got on the scales and so far i have lost 14kgs in 7weeks wooo hooo. if i keep going the way i am i will def be finished by xmas.
yesterday i forgot to take jayda food downstairs so i didnt worry abotu her solids yesterday and then she had 3 extra bottles yesterday. today i gave her some about 30min ago and she scoffed it down so fast. so many i think she is def ready and i will keep her on them.
It still seems like there are problems with this site still (or maybe its my computer, or a combination of both). Cameron will probably wake any moment, so I won't do personals at the moment.
Had a strange couple of days. Yesterday we were woken to Cameron crying at 3.30am. It took me a moment to adjust, as he hasn't done that in about 8 weeks. He seemed to settle, but started crying again after 10mins. Both DH and I went into his room, and to our surprise Cameron legs and arms were dangling out the side of the cot (between the bars). He has done this before, but he is usually only dangling his legs out, like he's turned 90 degrees, but this time he was still long ways, with the arms out to (IYKWIM). He just looked strange. But it wasn't until DH picked Cameron up, that we realised that he was also on his tummy! We turned him around, rewrapped him (as he always unravels himself anyway) and Cameron smiled and went back off to sleep til about 6.30am.
So I guess has now worked out how to roll onto his tummy, shall mark it in his record book. I could see it coming, as he quite often gets on his sides, but he obviously pushed himself too far this time. I wonder how long he might have been like that, as he is getting use to tummy time. Occassionally I've put him down to sleep during the day on his tummy, as he sleeps for longer this way. Only do it during the day though, so I can keep an eye on him.
Then this morning he woke at 5am, just as DH left for work. I went in, he had a very wet nappy, I changed him and rewrapped him and once again went off to sleep til 7am. It has been a strange few days, I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
Because Cameron had kinda tangled himself in the rails and it gave me a bit of a fright, yesterday I went and bought one of those venting airwraps for his cot. This morning (at 7am) he was kicking his feet again the side again (turned 90 degrees again), so probably could have had the same problem if I hadn't bought it.
Well better go see what other housework I can do, Camerons still sleeping, usually only sleeps for an hour during the day, so far we are at 1 1/2 hours (I got him on his tummy).
Not sure if i mentioned i brought a JJ. DD loves it but likes it when she cant reach the ground and it kinda swings... She laughs and yells out... licks her legs and makes it bounce. i have been trying not top pick her up but its so hard when DP is sleeping. will start her in the cot shortly as the basinette is getting too small... i just hate letting go. Might try putting the basinette in there tonight and then later on next week remove the basinette. fingers crossed things work out. her room is right next to ours so i dont think i'll need a monitor. (need to buy one but not sure if it'll get used being so close to us)
Went for a walk yesterday and got 15 mons away when DS fell over and hurt his knees and hands. Of couse he wanted to go home so my walk ended very quickly.
Sass- thats an awesome weight loss... for got to ask if its just diet or are you working out also. a friend of mine got one of those vibration fitness thingys. Working really well. Thinking of tryong one. (she's alot thinner so mainly just tonning up... but they say its great for weight loss also??
I also know whats its like borrowing momey... I just finnished paying off my MIL. (borrowed money for deposit.)
Bec- its not just ur puter... the site is having issues. i got DD to sleep too so off to hang out more washing.

I'd actually went to post the above at 12.45 today, luckily I'd copied it as it doesn't seem to have posted (even though when I submitted the reply twice, it told me it was being duplicated, can't even see 1 post let alone 2), I'd saved it somewhere else when I couldn't see it.
Had to wait til I put Cameron back to bed, as been busy playing, talking, crying then feeding. He seems to be crying and screaming just before I feed him at lunchtime - this is after a good sleep (close to 2hours sleep), a little awake time (bout 10 - 20 mins is the usual routine). He is ok until I lay him to feed, I then sit him up, talk to him and bounce him on my knee then he is ok, so I try to feed him again, he starts to cry (tears and all). He's done this for the last couple of weeks, usually at the 3rd and 4th feed, never any problems though at the 1st or 2nd feed of the day. Usually it only lasts 20mins, but today it took 1hour to get to feed him. Occassionally I've got him an express bottle (didn't today, as only have frozen expressed milk left which would take to long to prepare), which he usually takes without fuss, but I think that's because I put him in his cot while I get it ready and he is crying - possibly wearing himself out. Eventually after he has fed he is fine, happy - smiling, talking and wanting to play. Any ideas to try or what are your routines for the day?
Also when he was crying it gave me a good chance to see in his mouth, as I have a feeling he may be teething, mainly the rosy cheeks, little extra drool (not overly to much though) and seems to gnaw on his fingers (and mine when he gets hold of it). I thought I could see a little white dot on his bottom gum. I'll check it again tonight and get DH to see what he thinks. Maybe this is why he is more unsettled in the afternoon? Could the aching of the teeth happen at certain part of the day? Which in our case seems to be almost every afternoon (particularly lunchtime).
Whoops! Apparently my original post earlier had posted afterall. I swear it wasn't there when I had logged on, even after a few refreshes. It's even taken me a few attempts to reply with this, is it me or is everyone still having problems? Sorry about the duplication (kinda - I did add a little extra to the last post though), and I hope this doesn't duplicate to.
Bec- sorry i didnt reply personally to you... didnt have to double post... HAHA
i just love the air wraps... love bumpers but i know there not safe. This way bubs is protected from getting stuck out the sides and also i think they just look so cute.
Teething i guess could happen at parts of the day.. i know when my teeth hurt its not all day but not sure bout it being every day same time... Could just be the arsenic hour.
Things seem to be back to normal on here. I joined AO the other day... itss actually nice to see others having issues with there bedroom issues just like us.
I found DD has been whingeing from tummy aches... I probably mentioned before that she can go 1-2 weeks without a poop... well i've starting again on the infnts friend and she's back to 1-3 days and today she has been a bit better... Must have been all buiilding up and so uncomfy for her... i'm thinking maybe trying the osteopath (spl) to see if they can sort something out.
where to u get the air wrap things for the cot from. how much r they? i guess they r mainly to stop them gettin their arms and legs stuck not padding for hitting head.
Sassy- I got the airwrap from the baby store we'd bought all out stuff from - it was $40 (although I didn't realise the price until I paid, as I knew I needed it).
MisTree- We've also got a jolly jumper, but Cameron can't reach the ground, so we've been putting a little stool (like they use for toilet training) underneath for him to bounce off. I wonder if your DS had a nightmare of being jabbed again. Hope you feel better soon.
Jess- Hope you've sorted your DD's poop issues. I know it's very uncomfortable when you haven't had a movement for a few days, let alone a week or 2 (had this problem for a few weeks after Cam was born). It even effected eating properly, as always felt bloated. How did the bassinet in the cot go? Maybe an idea could be (if you haven't tried it already) is to put DD in the cot for her sleeps during the day, so you can comfort her when she wakes and she'll hopefully realise it is a safe place. The airwrap thing ain't that cute when I had to change the sheets this morning, it made it a lot harder then it already is.
Wednesday must have been the day for clumsyness (like Jess's DS) - I went for a trip myself. Was trying to walk through the garage past the car, trying not to trip over something laying on the ground, but managed to step on my own thong, ended up scratching my hip on a plank of wood, bumped a few other body parts on things and then banged my head on a rail. My bruises have appeared today, and head it a little sore (which will make it a little sore to wash this arvo and I had intended to blow dry straight for going out tomorrow night). I just burst into laughter when I did it as it would have been a funny sight to see me go down. I'm a clumsy person anyway, walking into walls, almost tripping over at least once a week etc, I hope Cam doesn't inherit this gene.
Off to hang the washing out before Cam is due to wake.
This site's been messing up for a couple of days now for me, so I haven't posted and I spent my time unpacking boxes instead! I have way too much junk... Everything's been pretty normal round here except for yesterday when DS woke up early, was really clingy and cuddly, had two naps before midday and then just wanted to cuddle and sleep all afternoon. That's so weird! Unfortunately, he slept from 2-4.30, then from 6.30-9.30, and then wanted to play and squeal for a couple of hours. Right when I was ready to sleep! After letting him have a play for a while, he was yawning and obviously tired, but kept fighting sleep. Literally! He was punching and kicking and squirming and squealing for a solid half hour. Finally got some sleep, but he woke for a feed at 3.30, then at 5.30 he has this semi-regular, annoying problem of waking up and getting agitated because he has a tummy ache. He starts banging his fists on his belly and grunting. This escalates to kicking, back-arching and screaming. His little belly is so tense and he wont relax unless I'm holding him upright. I usually end up shuffling around the house in my slippers while holding his back to my belly, wrapping my arms around his chest and letting him dangle in front of me. When he suddenly feels really heavy, that's when I know he's relaxed and I can try and put him down again. I tried to put him down three times this morning, and DP ended up taking over for a bit before he had to get ready for work, but he just wouldn't relax and didn't stop struggling until I fed him (which was awkward! kicking little monster!). I finally got an appointment for a paediatrician in late November, and even though the initial referral was for the reflux and chucking, which has since eased considerably, I'm still going to go and try and find some relief for this. And no, I still haven't gotten to the chiropractor... really should, but life's been kinda hectic lately!!
Mis_tree - that's what happened with my DS after his first needles too... woke up screaming. I popped him straight in the bath with me! He calmed down straight away. We're going for the next lot of needles next week. Shame about getting a cold - hope you're feeling better soon. I know how dreadful it is (I'm still coughing!) so hopefully Seth doesn't get it too. A vapouriser is really helpful, and an oil burner with some eucalyptus essential oil (not the cheapo stuff), especially if he does get sick too.
Bec - ouch! At least you weren't carrying Cam when you took a tumble! I'm pretty clumsy too, but prefer to call it "gravitationally challenged". Sounds like you've been having an interesting time of things with Cam. It's been similar here, and could be teething or some other developmental milestone? Things change every day! I'm really flexible with our routine especially since everything got messed up with moving house, so I just take each day as it comes. Sometimes DS just doesn't want to feed after a sleep, which disrupts my whole notion of feed-play-sleep, but I can't really force the matter! It would be a real challenge if I wasn't breastfeeding, I'm sure. Not very helpful, am I??
Jess - good luck with the ear-piercing today, and the needles!!
OK, gotta go. The grunter is awake... sorry to all I missed!
