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 )
Reborn had to laugh at your wishing us all a deep 12 hour sleep tonight lol. I havent slept that long for years! lol.
Mia is much better. Still has a cough and runny nose, but much happier. Sleeping at night slowly improving. Still doing the 11pm DF, then last night she woke at 1! I went to go in and it went silent....she resettled herself and didnt wake til 4.15 for a feed, then up at 7.15, I was stoked.
She went down for her morning sleep an hour ago and now she is awake, sorry for no personals Ill be back later girls! I have read the thread though xx
Hello, hello, hello, I haven't popped in here for aaaages
Lovely to hear about how you're all going and hugs to those that need a good night's sleep
Congratulations Reborn! Wonderful news
Sammi - Loved your story of you taking your feral DD to the heath center
We're all good here. I've been back at work since DD was 4 months, it was originally just one day a week but it's two days a week now. It's busy but I wouldn't have it any other way - I love my days with the kids and I love my days without them too.
DD's going great, she loves rolling but can only sit for a very short time. She's been doing this hilarious rocking on her hands and knees for a few weeks now. I'm sure one day when our backs are turned she'll take off. She LOVES solids of all kinds, no signs of teeth at all. She is a bit of a random sleeper, some nights are great, others are not so great.
DS is great with her, very gentle and loving. Awwww....
Anyway you deserved a good night out. Sucks about the hangover though.
