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!!!
Reborn congratulations
I hope that when the visitors go he will be better! I notice mine are unsettled when we've had people stay. Even visitors for a few hours can mess them up
Melissa I've done a lot of research on the Shettles method. I have faith that it does work (even though my real attempt didn't ie tried for girl and got boy), but the main factor is timing. Without that being right the rest isn't going to be much help Get the book, it explains a lot.
Got an almost crawling girl. She's up on her knees rocking! In celebration I have banned lego and have been confiscating it as I find it about the house. I was OK with the boys and their let it roam free attitude while R was confined to one room. Not any more!
Been having some back and pelvis issues too this week Very sore. I feel like an old bag hobbling about. Not sure how I've done it exactly. I suspect it was lifting a very full washing basket. That'll teach me do do housework
Sorry about being AWOL, had computer problems for a couple of weeks and have just a new lappy yay - was lurking but was on DH's laptop and had to be quick.
Reborn - congrats on your pregnancy - that is fantastic news.
Raven - ouch, you poor thing, hope it doesn't last too long, back pain is horrid. - no more housework for you!
Minimatron - sounds like you had an awesome night for your DH's birthday!
It sounds like we have a mixed bag of bubbas -with some sleeping through the night and some not - we are in the 'some not' category and I am beginning to think it will never happen - we have two to three feeds per night - yay....anyway, what can I say, it won't last forever.
Okay, better go, should try and get an early one in tonight!
Sending lots of sleepy vibes to all the bubbas.
Laurin xxxx
Reborn - Congratulations on your pregnancy, hope you have a happy & healthy 9 months. Very exciting!!! Have your visitors left yet? Hopefully DS settles down for you once they go. Its hard having people stay & your routine gets a bit thrown out of whack!
Laurin - So good to hear from you. Hopefully Finn will cut out some night feeds for you very soon.
Sam - Sounds like Ruby will be crawling very shortly. Lara has been crawling for 2 wks now & trying to put everything in her mouth along the way. I've really been having to keep an eye on what DD1 spills on the floor or what small toys she leaves around, coz I know it will all go into Lara's mouth. You poor bugger with your back and pelvis, hopefully you're feeling better soon. In the mean time try and offload some of that house work, I wish I could off load mine, its never ending.
Melissa - How exciting that you're TTC soon. Good luck on conceiving a boy. Wish I had some advice but like you I have 2 girls.
I have a really sore throat, I am hoping it doesnt turn into a cold/flu. Lara has flu like symptoms but she is teething as well so might be from that. Will be keeping my eye on her though.
HEy Sam....do you have copy of the book I could either borrow or buy off you?
Hey Laurin and Leigh, hope you are doing well. Hope youre feeling better Leigh and that your getting enough sleep Laurin.
Went to the health nurse today. bec is 8.6kgs and 69cm, going really well. She must be having another growth spurt coz shes been waking at 3 am for the past few nights to polish off about 200mls of milk!
Reborn- yay! Congrats! How exciting! Yay DS is crawling! How cute!
Melissa- sounds like you planned an awesome 30th for DH! WOW! Im glad it was great. How are the day sleeps going? Re TTC the one sex...we did it by "accident" meaning we BD on the day of O, and I ate all the foods that are meant to help you get a boy, also did the positions that promote it etc...well I got a girl! lol. I wasnt fussed though, but next time Im going to try for a boy!
Raven- you poor thing I hope you feel much better soon! How is your back now?
Laurin- yay someone else who is still night feeding. I feel so alone with it all and it really does feel like it will last forever. Im praying she just weans herself off it. The frustrating this is she just cant be starving 3 hours after her last bottle! Grr.
Leigh- I hope you dont get a cold, it's already hard looking after a bub without being sick too!
All ok here. We have just had another rough week with Mia being sick AGAIN and not sleeping at night at all. She was in bed with us again, and only has gone back into her cot the last 2 nights. She has an awful cough, so it was waking her up constantly. Now I have the vapouriser in her room which really helps. Her day sleeps are all over the place too! This morning she had 20 mins, then at 2pm woke after 40 mins, but I resettled her and now she is still asleep and it is 4.30pm! So now I think should I wake her?
I know it wont affect her bed time at night, she will still go to sleep at 7, but will she wake more in the night? Hmm!
Anyway thought I'd pop in and see how you all are!
Melissa I gave my copy away already, but glad you got one anyway
Leigh hope your throat is better
Skyeblue how is Mia now? I don't like to wake up a sleeping bubba either but do quite often for school runs. I feel awful doing it!
Laurin hi Bet you're enjoying the lappy!
R had a really unsettled night. She screamed every time I put her down so by 11pm I ended up taking her to bed with me. I took her to the cot at 12:30 and she grizzled a bit and woke up C so I was trying to soothe both of them She settled down while I was getting C a drink *yay* I ended up sleeping in through the alarm and had to be horrible shrieking mummy to get out of the house (poor boys)
She had health centre this morning at 9 (it's in the same comlex as the school) and because I was in such a rush I didn't have time to change her and left her in the sleeping bag (grabbed a change for after). I hadn't noticed she had smeared snot across her face and in her hair, she also must of puked sometime as it was on her sleeping bag and she also did a massive poo on the way there. Talk a about feeling like a feral when I was undressing her to be weighed lol
Hey all, just thought i should pop in. We are all ok. Bec can properly crawl now...when she gets on the carpet, otherwise its commando over the boards. Shes cutting her top teeth and is grizzly as all get up and go. Her nights havent been the most glamourous but hopefully they will settle soon. I have noticed that she likes to sleep on her tummy now.
Skye glad Mia is doing better. Gosh she has beautiful eyes...so mesmorizing
Rach good to hear from you. Love your ticker pic. Reminds me of my 2 girls...the younger one wants to look and smile and the older one always looks away. Glad things are going well for you too.
Sorry about the speeling., am so tired. DH is away on a boys trip, so no rest for me.
Hey ladies. I've popped in really quickly to ask a question. For those of you who have your bubs in disposibles (sp?) what size are they in? I've had to start putting Jack in walker sized nappies and I'm wondering if he is a freak of nature or if someone else is doing 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.
Atleast he wasnt trying to rip my nipple off at the same time. Good luck with it all.
Very sore. I feel like an old bag hobbling about. Not sure how I've done it exactly. I suspect it was lifting a very full washing basket. That'll teach me do do housework 
Yay DS is crawling! How cute! 
She settled down while I was getting C a drink *yay* I ended up sleeping in through the alarm and had to be horrible shrieking mummy to get out of the house (poor boys)
