KIM hope you feel better this arvo!!!
Blanche have you tried having a bath with her???
AJP thanks, i was just thinking i might have to do that! its just so weird how she doesnt like her bath nemore
very strange!!!maybe bribe her with some food while in there!!!
They go through phases with their baths. At least Matilda did. She is frightened of the drain atm :rolleyes: so it takes a lot of convincing. I take baths with the girls & they love it. Showers are a winner as well in this house. If we can't get Matilda into the bath, we'll get her into the shower.
I think I'm coming down with the cold :( sore throat & the like. I can't get Jovie to sleep today and I'm tired and want a rest....
Blanche - she hasn't got a UTI has she? her little vagina might be sore when it hits the water - just a thought -
Hugs Christy - Hope your feeling better soon darlin, we have to get together soon!!
Kim - Hope you have been able to rest and are feelng better darlin. Want to come on the island with me???
Kim - hope you're starting to feel better :(
Blanche - that is really wierd, i'd be inclined to think there was something making her uncomfortable, like a UTI, for her to be all of a sudden scared.
Sleep not too bad last night...230 nappy leaked so i put her in our room. i'll put the heater in her room tonight (it's an oil one, so its safe) and see if she'll sleep past 1am a bit better if it's a touch warmer. i sure hope so!
it's funny, she had 1 or 2 fantastic nights, then some really sh*tty ones now shes somewhere in the middle
Tara - we're the same here too. A few good nights waking but going back to sleep quite quickly. Then last night she woke up for 11pm feed and then at 3.30pm and wouldn't settle for 1.5hrs. argggghhhh but woke up at 7am. I'm paying for it today. I was ready for a nap at 11am but was at work!
Work is soooooo easy compared to taking care of Ella. Its just so familiar and feels like i never left. The hardest thing was leaving her in the morning. When i handed her to MIL her bottom lip fell and quivered followed by tears and crying. Oh i felt awful...
Kim - Oh no! Lets hope its just a strange night nothing to worry about.
Blanche - Hope the baths improve.
Christy - chock yourself full of oranges and mandarins - I've been doing it coz i'm feeling a tickle at the back of the throat too....

Still having better nights here, thank goodness. mind you I could quite happily throttle telsta. Just as I got aston settled after he woke at 12, took half an hour, telstra decided that it was the optimum time to send through a spam text massage to DH phone!! Not happy Jan! so after another half hour, he went back to sleep. Still not feeding in the night til after 4am. This morning it was 4.30am again, from one side, and he was back to sleep til 7.30.
I never know where I am going to find aston these days in the cot. the other end, on his belly, or hands and knees!! lol. so much for the grobag stopping him from moving around, not likely! I swear he practices crawling in his sleep. He is rolling around the study at the moment, scrunching up paper.
Hope you all had reasonable nights, and that for those of you who are sick, are feeling better at least.
Fantastic Vicky... LOL I think its funny you are always in the chat room when I visit ;) Great!! I'm loving it.
I'm feeling the same level of sick today... sore throat. Jovie's better, but our night was atrocious. First Matilda woke up & had a tantrum in our bed because we wouldn't let her lay sideways :rolleyes: then I got her back to sleep & Jovie woke up, I fed her and then 30 minutes later Matilda wanted back in our bed. So we had 4 in the bed & Matilda kept kicking Jovie and woke her up. I fed Jovie again & then she fell asleep for 10 minutes and then Matilda wholloped her in her sleep (Matilda was asleep) so Jovie was up for the day at 5am. Urgh I feel like a space cadet... I'm going to lay down with Jovie for her arvo nap. Hopefully we will both get some sleep. I've got soup in the slow cooker & did some shopping so now its rest time. I even hand washed some knitted jumpers.... I'm on a roll. Just don't know whether its up or down ;)
Hello Ladies, I dont know if any of you remember me, I havnt been around for quite a while, but Im back and trying really hard to catch up. I hope all is going well, and the babies are growing up beautifully. I'm slowly reading through this thread to find out what has happened since I was here last.
Looking forward to getting to know you all again.
Hello everyone!
Wow hope none of you get what I just had - it was terrible and am just starting to feel normal again and not just lie on the bed / couch / any handy surface and die. Unfortunately Jake has now come down with it and spent last night only sleeping 40 mins cycles and then waking cos he couldn't breathe from about midnight.
Took him to the dr this morning (again - should buy shares in his prac) but he has just got my bug and the antibiotics he was put onto on Fri for his chest will help make his ear inflammation we found this morning less severe. Plus when I was at the dr realised one of his top teeth just poking thu - what a bad mother! Not only do I overreact but I don't even notice he is teething! lol! Can't win!
It is good to hear most of the nights are starting to settle for everyone (except the few crappy ones they throw in to keep us on our toes). How is the feeding going too? Jake has picked up his 10am feed and 3am feed again bcos he hasn't been eating and has been refusing all drinking cups of various shapes sizes and styles.I could open my own baby feeding access store!
Vicky - you are most welcome. I only shared my pain and had a vent you have had to do the hard bit!
Christy how is the croup? Keep filling yourself up with vitamins and fruit and plenty of fluids!
Oh Ann - I feel for you leaving her in the morning to go to work. Does it feel weird talking in normal sentences and phrases?
BLanchie - how are the baths going? Jake loves the shower too not sure if you've tried it - but now he's tipping 11kgs he's a bit too heavy to do it everyday!
Kim - was it just a freak night or has she started to be unsettled?
AJ - how are you going?
I'm coming on that island make room for me!
Hi robyn - WB how is Baylee doing? good to see you back. jump on in... to cut a long story short, most of us had been having some atrocious nights with our bubs. I think I have turned the corner (she's says very very quietly so that aston doesnt hear her!). I'll let everyone else catch you up. Look forward to getting to know you, and your little one.
Hi robyn nice to meet you! Baylee is 1 day older than my DS Jake! As Vikcy said we are all facing some night challenges atm - but if it isn't sleeping it's eating, or pooing.... :)
or sickness ;)
Jovie has decided she doesn't need to sleep atm :rolleyes:
Hi Roybn, welcome!
Emelia still wont go in the big bath not even with me in there with her, so DP suggested trying her in her baby bath so got that out the cupboard!! tried her in it this morning.. she cried at first and tried climbing out, but then was fine...so might try again tonight in big bath! did try her in the shower too the other day and she hated that too!!
Vicky - Damn Telstra, wat a stupid time to msg :s good to hear Aston is sleeping better!
Nelly - hope Jake feels better soon.
