Just a quick one while Bella is asleep. Bella has been unwell and went to docs Monday but her cough has gotten worse so back to docs this morning and now we are both on Anti's sp I hope they work fast for her. She is also getting both her top teeth at the moment - they are about to break through the gum - so that will be 2 top and 2 bottom!! Yay. She is such a trooper = even though she is teething and has a cold / bronciolitis - she has still bee sleeping through 6.30 - 7 - bless her!!
Raven - hope your back is feeling better – I’ve pulled a muscle in mine while lifting the washing basket also – time for a housework strike I reckon!!
Boo Boo – we’re also in the “some not” basket when it comes to sleeping thru. Sienna is absolutely terrible and we’ve finally got a referral for Tresillia, but they have a 13 week waiting list, so I’ve no idea how I’m going to wait that long without help!!!
Leigh – hope the throat gets better!!
Skyeblue – we’ve had a sick bubba too. Her cough is terrible and is waking her constantly throughout the night. Hope Mia has finally kicked it!
Kate – poor Bella, there must be so much fluey stuff going around at the moment, sick bubbas everywhere!!
Apart from the horrible nights (I’m starting to dread bedtime), Sienna has been well. She’s finally kicking the cold, altho she still has a lingering cough which is disturbing her through the night. On a good note tho, our little girl is crawling!! Now I’ll really know I’m alive, we’ve now got to do the whole “child-proofing the house” business coz she gets into everything!!
As mentioned, we’re off to Tresillia for some sleep-assistance. But in the meantime I think I’m going to resort to swaddling again as that seems to settle Sienna when she wakes herself in the night, and at the moment, we’re desparate for anything to work!!
Sam- sounds like my trip....although yours was a bit more fun-! I had a flat battery so I pulled out the pram and ran to the health centre...only to work out that I was 30 minutes early...then ran home, then picked up mum and Olivia, walked back and was 10 minutes late and stinky!
Kate- hope bella is getting better
mel- good luck up the sleep school. We went for Olivia and the wait is revolting. I didnt get too much out of it but it just reassured me that we were doing the right things!
Us- bec seems to only want to have one sleep....doh! Liv did the same thing. So today she slept from 12 til 3pm. Probably coz she was up at 415 this morning. She went back down at 6 and Liv got up soon after, so I have been up since 415 and my head is aching. Cant sleep coz dh is at tafe Just have an early night i hope. Becca is cutting her top tooth so more fun to come. Shes still commando crawling, she can get up on all 4s bt slips on the boards. I have been doing the wii for the past few nights as I want to loose 5kgs before coming off the pill in September....and my legs are killing me. I do the jillian Micheals class.
Mel - I am so with you on the sleep, I dread nights as well, Finny has a cough at the moment which is just making things so much worse, some nights he wakes up to 10 times - yes I kid you not - arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is all I can say
Kate - aww hope little bella's on the mend, can she send some sleepy vibes our way.
Sam - that is so what would happen to me - re: MCHN visit.
Ok sorry I have missed out everyone, it is quiet so I really should try and get some zzzz' s before the next wake up call.
Kate - Hope the antibiotics kick in fast and Bella gets better really soon.
Sam - I couldnt help but laugh at your trip to the MCHN, that sort of thing would happen to me too.
Mel - I haven't tried the Jillian Michaels workout, thinking I might buy it and give it a go. I've been so slack on my diet and exercise lately. Gotta get motivated again.
Melly - Bugger on the sleep school waiting list. Fingers x'd Sienna starts sleeping well at night for you really soon. Must be hard not getting a good night sleep.
Hi to everyone I have missed. I am really struggling today. I went out for the first time last night with friends. I told myself yesterday that I was going to have an early night, be home by 1 am at the latest. Well I got home at 4am drunk, I am so paying for it right now. DH is a work all day & wont be home until 7:30pm I am on struggle street big time, a hangover and kids are not a good mix. I am never drinking again lol, I've said that many times over the years. It was a good night though. We went to Manpower first lol. I had neve been before.
Sam - lol at your health visit. I've felt like a feral too with Sienna being sick lately coz she's constantly got a snotty dripping nose and the second I go to wipe it, it's like she has a sixth sense and wipes her hand through it a split second before, so yep, snot in the hair has been a regular occurrence round here too, lol
Melissa - to be honest, I'm really not expecting too much from Tresillia, but I'm getting desperate so am willing to try everything!! I really think that Sienna's probs are more to do with her tummy than with sleep issues, if that makes sense, as she seems to be waking up in discomfort, pulling her little legs up to her chest and crying, and she also sleeps much better on her tummy. So now she's better we're giving the lact-free formula another go, I figure it's not soy so it's not going to hurt her even if it's not the answer to our probs. So we'll see how we go...
I'll look for you on Facebook too, I'm usually wasting time on there when Sienna's having her morning sleep.
Boo boo - I hear ya girl!!! Fun times hey....here's hoping our bubbas sort themselves out before we go insane!!
Leigh - lol you poor thing, hangovers are worst at the best of times, let alone when you've got two little ones to look after. I think I've only had a few too many once since having Sienna, and I had to work the next day so it wasn't so bad (I hate my job so I'm usually crabby and fed up at work at the best of times!).
As long as you enjoyed yourself and got a bit of a perve to boot (haven't actually seen Manpower myself, maybe if they had an 'alternative' manpower complete with tatts and piercings I might be more interested :wink: not really into the 'beefcake' look lol)
Kate - I read your post about Bella crying when she leaves your mum and just wanted to give you a big
You poor sausage, it's an emotional time when bub is sick, and going back to work is a huge thing too (even when you love your job!) so take heart that you are doing a great job!! Bella will never love anyone as much as she loves you, and your bond with her will grow stronger everyday (ok now I'm starting to sound like a Hallmark card, but you get my drift).
As for us, we actually had a good night with Sienna last night. She was only up twice, and both times, she was a breeze to resettle. She was still asleep when I left for work at 7.30am this morning, which is just amazing (bet she won't do that tomorrow when I could sleep in with her, lol). The only thing we did differently was to turn off her night light, coz we had been wondering if it was too bright and stopping her from re-settling if she woke (coz she's constantly staring at it when we're trying to get her off to sleep). She's also on 1/2 lact-free, 1/2 normal formula bottles at the moment (to get her used to the taste of lact-free, she's a fussy little bugger when it comes to milk), so hopefully that had something to do with it also. Whatever it was, it was nice to have our bed to ourselves, as we had been bringing Sienna in just to get some sleep!!
Sorry for the disappearing act. For some reason everytime I go to play on the computer I have an overwhelming urge to throw up. Dont take it personally. Were all good here except I think were having a little sibling rivalry (between my DH and DS). If its not one nagging at me, its the other. DS has been waking alot at night and now sleep wonderfully during the day. Its a shame not all of can live with that routine.
Skye: Is Mia still sick? My SIL said maybe try probiotics with her milk. Hope she's feeling better.
Raven: I almost fell of my chair when I read your post :P And thanks for reminding me to make an app for DS.
Melly: Congrats with the crawling!!! What baby proofing stuff are you going to use? We didnt really do any baby proofing because our cupboards are impossible for me to open let alone our little crawling monkey.
Mini: Good luck with the teething again. And the weight loss. I was doing Wii Fit for a while but it just made me feel bad with the everyday weigh ins. Is the Jillian Michaels one fun? What's involved?
Leigh: Glad you had a good time at Manpower. I want to see their show next time their in Perth. Might even drag "blind" MIL along and see how blind she really is Anyway you deserved a good night out. Sucks about the hangover though.
Hi to everyone I missed. Sorry but I'm a little sleep deprived (just like everyone else )
Just have an early night i hope. Becca is cutting her top tooth so more fun to come. Shes still commando crawling, she can get up on all 4s bt slips on the boards. I have been doing the wii for the past few nights as I want to loose 5kgs before coming off the pill in September....and my legs are killing me. I do the jillian Micheals class.
