Lulu- Izzy had gastro a few weeks ago and we ended up putting her in there when she threw up in her cot and the next day she climbed in wanting her naps there too. She is still in her sleeping bag, we tried stopping it but one of the times she did climb out she sat there with her bag in hand basicaly saying "mum I can't sleep without this on!". She has fallen out a few times but it is so low to the ground we weren't too worried and it hasn't happened for about a week. I found her asleep on her rug on the floor when I went in one night - too cute. She can walk in her bag but she goes down for all naps pretty well, nights are fine and occasionally we have to go in to resettle her for day naps because she has gotten up to play. Phew that was a bit long winded sorry!!! James is doing really well! He slept from 8 til 5 last night! Thing is and this sounds so dumb but I prefer it when he gets up at around 2 and then 6 because he isn't so unsettled during the day then. If he goes that long overnight he tends to want a feed 2 hourly during the day instead of 3-4 hourly. I shouldn't complain I know! I also know after Izzy that it could all turn to pot very fast so I am making the most of it while I can.
Lis - How on earth can you drink coffee at this time of night!!!!!! I would be awake ALL night - can't drink it after 4pm or I am wide awake. Painting sounds interesting wth El around but I love a freshly painted house!! Sounds like you are getting lots done! I am getting Izzy's shots done on Thursday - ugh - not looking forward to them.
We have had a busy weekend - a 1st birthday yesterday and a blessing today - its ben great htough because Izzy has had fun with lots of kids and we got to show off our little man!
Im off to bed - MG tomorrow and I think I will book in to get my hair done!! Chat soon lovelies!
Oh Lis. I can just see Elena giving you a very big help with her own idea of painting!! I hope its going well for you though. FWIW Izzy had her injection last week and she has suffered absolutely no ill effects whatsoever - and the others all really knocked her around. Maybe its because thankfully its just the one vaccine this time?
Tan - thanks for the advice re bed. Izzy is out of her sleeping bag now - she takes it off the second I put her in her cot and just hands it back to me. She's now very attached to her doona instead. Funny little things. I know what you mean about the sleep with James. Elena is the same - much better if she needs a feed around 3am or so. If she has that, then she will have about a 2 hour nap in the morning. If she sleeps through she will only go down for about 40 minutes. And OMG I love that 2 hour nap - crosses over with Izzy's morning sleep and I can actually get some things done! Definitely enjoy those long, uninterrupted sleeps yourself while they last though. Hopefully he will keep sleeping through and soon feed less during the day - after you get through that dreaded 6 week growth spurt of course!!
We had a fantastic day yesterday. Did absolutely nothing and it was bliss. The girls both went down for a morning nap so DH and I went to have a shower and then a nap ourselves. Poor love had other ideas too but then Elena woke up so the three of us climbed into bed together. Izzy soon joined us and we just lazed around and played. By the end of the day we had achieved close to nothing (I had gone to get fruit & vegies), the girls were still in their pjs, the house was a mess of toys everywhere but it was just the nicest day we have had in a very, very long time. Pity we can't do it all the time!
Have a lovely day mums and tots and little bubbies and growing beans (wow that list is growing!!)
Tan I can drink coffee at anytime and still sleep like a log! Good luck with Izzy's injections. I was going to get Ellie's done this week too but she woke up this morning with a lovely snotty nose eeeewwww. Might wait and see how this pans out first, hopefully just a small cold and nothing else! YAY for James sleeping so well, you are so lucky!
Lulu glad to hear Izzy was ok after her injection. Your lazy day sounds awesome! I love having those days in winter.
Well better get some work done. I'm lucky enough to be able to work from home today. At least now I may see some of the sunshine, finally we have some sun after all that crappy weather!!!
Take care ladies xxx
Sorry, I have been MIA. Have been trying to do extra shifts last fortnight to try and help with christmas. We have brought the kids a big 16ft round trampoline with the net plus other pressies for under the tree - so expensive this year!! Just so hard as I am sick of tripping over toys inside!! Trying to concentrate on outside toys!!
Will come back in this arve and do a proper catch up, but just wanted to say I am still here and thinking of you all!! Have a busy day again today, end of year activities at school etc. Be back I promise xxxx
Oh, just wondering if you all got the 18mth chicken pox vacciniation???? I was thinking of not getting it?? Just that I still hear of all the kids who have been vaccined still getting it at a later date anyway? Oh, I don't know what to do!! Eldest DD has had chick pox, middle DD hasn't and not had needle eaither cause it wasn't included in the schedule when she was born? EEck, not sure....Ok, BBL!!
Sorry i have also been MIA, I have been TTC#2! And its taken my time, mind you have been watching this thread. Where is everybody!!!??
Shell- Annabelle is getting her needle for chickenpox on the 8th of December. I just figure its there for a reason. Id hate her to get them so young. Scratching and scaring herself. Even if she does get them later on at least she'll be older and I can explain not to scratch
Ill bbl xoxo to all and good luck with the xmas organising !
Hey girls. I'm here with my germs lol. Elena is sick with tonsilitis and she kindly gave it to me. Feeling pretty awful and taken the day off work. Couldn't have happened at a worse time too - we are moving this weekend and I have heaps of packing/organising to do and no energy to do it.
Shell as Ellie is sick I haven't given her the chicken pox vacc yet. But we will be getting it. Yes they can still get chick pox but having the vaccine means they won't get it as bad I think? I had it really badly as a child and I still have the scars from it so I'd like to avoid that for Ellie if possible.
Kass best of luck TTC, hope this is the month!
Gotta go, little miss is being awfully quiet so must be up to something!
Good luck with the TTC Kass. Nice way to be spending your time!!
Shell - Izzy has had her chicken pox. I was told the same as Lis - they may still get cp but they'll get a much milder dose. Try not to work too hard, but I bet the extra money is really nice. Christmas just seems to be more and more expensive each year doesn't it?
Lis - poor you and El. I hoe you're both feeling better very soon.
Dan - how are you feeling? I hope your MS is easing up a bit.
Sarah - how are you feeling? Not long to go now. Have you got names sort out yet or still working on it?
All pretty quiet here. I went out shopping on my own on Saturday afternoon. Got Mum's birthday present and was trying to start Christmas shopping for anyone other than the kids. So hard to find anything. I have a DH who is the hardest person on the planet to buy for. I have no idea what to get!!
