Mini I hear you. DD has just recovered from her chest infection and is now a shocking sleeper. Up every hour It is awful, Im getting no sleep and I dont know what to do. Im too tired to do control crying or anything!
I hope we get some sleep soon...I hope your girls get better!
I have read everyone elses posts but I am too tired to reply to them all...lol...sorry, I will be back soon...
Mini - I hope that girls get better soon!! And I hope that you can dive with the sharks! That sounds awesome!!
Sky - I hope that you get some sleep soon!!
Not much going on here - Bella still getting her top teeth - no sign of em yet but she is biting on everything hard and also drooling like a waterfall! I hope they come through soon as she isnt enjoying it much!
Bella just sits all day! She hates layong down now and can put her forhead on the floor and back up again and side to side to pick things up and never falls over now - still not rolling or likeing tummy time - can they crawl from sitting?? Im a bit worried about her not crawling or rolling?!!?
Still sleeps through evey night and her day sleeps are getting longer - how ever she has dropped her afternoon sleep - but means she is bed by 6.30 for the night so I can get a heap of things done!
I cant belive Bella is 7 months old!! I know it will fly by and I will be saying Bella is 1!!
I am sending lots and lots of get well and sleepy vibes to all that need them!! Our trip down south was good but bloody cold, Miss B wasn't too bad on the plane but am noting to self that I will never fly the 6am or 7pm flights to and from, bloody stupid with a baby but hey, thats my in laws for you Miss B was feral the next day and the one after that - just crying and clingy which made me cry because my baby is never like that. But, for the last 2 days I have my sunshine back so am very happy
Miss B is 7 and 1/2 months old now, sitting up on her own, having 5 breast feeds a day and eating 3 solids. 2 are in between feeds and the last is her dinner at 530/6 which I give her first before a bf, is this ok? She sleeps all night from 8 to 7 when my hubby goes in for a cuddle before work otherwise I think she would just stay in there! Is having 3 sleeps a day but the last one at 430 is more like a 45min recharge nap but I dont want to lose it yet because I get my coffee beak then When do you think I should wean down to 2 sleeps etc?
This is really long but I havent been on in a little while... Am wondering about baby number 2 but am not sure when a nice age would be? Not sure how I would cope etc?
HEy girls.....I had a shocker of a night but I am actually watching my girls sitting next to each other...being nice.....and watching the wiggles.....bliss!
SkyeHugs, its hard with no sleep and you get at your wits end. I remember when Olivia was this age...or actually a bit older, she didnt sleep (not much changed) but she was up every night for 2 hours at a time screaming. I remember it up til just before Bec was born, then all the sudden it clicked and she slept through...not all the time but some times. Its hard when they are sick it throws them. You just have to be consistant with what you are doing, as tiring as it is, they will eventually get it. So if its sitting next to the cot patting to sleep for ages, then so be it. Then you can try and do less and less per night. Its so hard, but remember youre doing a good job.
Kate- Bella sounds like shes doing well. I wouldnt worry about crawling, its not a major milestone. She might go from sitting to cruising to walking and skip crawling all together. Bec can sit forever now but if she leans over, most of the time she will fall. She rolles alot..but thats it! She has no teeth as yet although I reckon they are not too far away. Hows Bellas head? Is it rounding out a bit??? I am sure it will be fine. When are you coming to melbourne next??? Was it you who was looking to catch up with everyone???
Zoo- sounds like you did alright on your trip. I have heard it take a little time to resettle after a flight. As for another baby and a good age....well I have 19 months between my girls and to be honest, it was/is hard. I wouldnt do any closer than that. However, now that rebecca is older, it is getting easier and Olivia does love her sister despite the fact that shes rough as guts with her. I like that age gap. If I was a lot youner (am 34 at the end of the year), I would have waited a while longer. Maybe have 2 and a half to 3 years between them. So for our next one....we will be having roughly the same age gap. So just before rebeccas 1st birthday I will actively start to ttc.
Us- girls are on the mend, even though they are sleeping poorly. Rebeccas cough sounds funny and I am errring to the side of croup. She has a high pitched sound at the end of the cough...seal like. Shes on ABs but I think they are not doing too much for her cough. her nose is much better though. Another trip to the gp!
Better go and feed myself.....I have lost 4kgs so far by cutting my portion size down and walking. Another 10 to go!
Congrats on the tooth Mini and it sucks about the croup.We had to Jack to the hospital the other night and there was a bub there with croup. The cough broke my heart
I dont remember who asked but we've turned our seat around. Jack was screaming in the car otherwise. I think it was because he couldnt see us. I dont know if anyone else has noticed this but Jack is getting REALLY clingy atm. Are any of your kids doing the same?
Anyway he can now crawl but has trouble sitting by himself. Hates sleeping and eats like a hog! How's everyone going?
Hi ladies. Sorry I havent been here in ages. I forgot how crappy pg is at the beginning. We dont know how far along yet but I think about 2months.
Mini: I know how you feel about the short/no sleeps. Ds is starting the no sleep routine. Congrats on the teeth!!! And keeping the secret from dh. Its really hard isnt it And you swam with the sharks?! Geez you are one brave lady. BTW I dont know how to get pg with a boy but good luck for when you start ttc.
Raven: Babies learn really fast dont they. I tried to send an email with ds sitting on my lap and he's such a keyboard hog Atleast he wasnt trying to rip my nipple off at the same time. Good luck with it all.
Skye: It sounds like Mia is doing really well. Your making me jealous.
As for me, ds is being a terror. Sometimes he wants all the solids he can get his hands on and the next he's not interested. There is no pattern in his sleep "routine". And he doesnt sleep through the night anymore. But I think most of that is because we have family staying with us and he's been moved back into our room. Hopefully they will leave today and things will settle down a little. Also HE STARTED CRAWLING!!! Clever little boy!!!
Is it just me or has some people changed their names? kristie....were you always reborn? AAAhhh my brain! But Kate....you have a new name too! Nice
Glad everyone seems to be getting better. Rebecca is rolling like no tomorrow, she does it like shes on a mission. and now shes on hands and knees rocking all the time....not long now. Ok better go crying baby.
