Tara where do you buy those dummies from... ive heard about em but never seen them to know how they work. Ill be home alone soon for 5 days a wek and im like you.. hear a noise and freak for the whole night and carry a phone with me whereever i am incase i need to call 000!! LOL
Me too! I was sitting in Evie's room thinking what i could do, can i push out the flyscreen? can i make it to the back door? where the hell is the phone?! i also thought about sitting there for 2 hours until DH gets home and hoping that no burg-ular pokes their head in. it even crossed my mind that i would tell whoever was in my house that they could take whatever they wanted (except my sexy bod) but could they please not wake the baby.
I got the dummy from K-Mart but i've seen them in chemists. they're about $7. Tommee Tippee make them
hi all!!!! had DH home today mmmstil not sure if that was good or not!! just joking though he can be a bit of a pain :rolleyes: had swimming today which sophie loooovveesss we both end up saturated the moment we get in with all the splashing!! got home and the poor thing was buggered and slept for two hours!!!! the only time she sleeps that long!! food still going well, she sleeps better than before only woken once inthe past week during that first two hours which has been great, so the food must be keeping her asleep. i have been spending up on new MCN's which has been great fun and i love getting my fluffy mail every couple of days!!
KIM glad your feeling better and lunch was nice
TARA is DH home yet??? no more noises????
BLANCH how did the bath go today???
NELLY glad your also feeling better
ANN hows ella going? hows work???
VICKY sophies like that, we find her in wierd places!! undet the table....she learnt to go from all 4's to sitting but not quiet crawling still
CHRISTY you poor thing another sickie!!!!:( hope the sore throat goes soon
ROBYN welocme back!!!
WOO HOO!!! Had a great night sleep!! I went to bed at 9pm and even though Jovie was up for an hour & half last night it didn't hurt ;) because it was only once. Matilda was only up once as well & no tantrums.
Kim I have one too got mine from Big w
Morning all!
We had a really crap night but I went to my 6am exercise class and I feel really good! Will probably crash in a heap with Jake when he goes down for his sleep! He is struggling with the flu waking every hour or so still and the poor sausage is just sitting up in his cot crying when you go in! Hopefully it won't last much longer.
Jake has started crawling for real now for a few steps before flopping back onto tummy and wants to walk before crawling I think - pulling himself up on everything! So he must be feeling better - must be the drugs! He still manages to get stuck in odd places - half under the couch is a current fave....
Sorry dumb quest - what's a MCN?
Aaaarrrrrgggghhh Jake has found his way to the computer for the first time and is now systematically trying to empty every drawer!
Have a good day!
touch wood. It looks like our bubs are doing a bit better in the sleep department.
Christy - the secret is to go to sleep as soon as bubs go to sleep. Then you get heaps of sleep but you dont get any mummy & daddy time.
AJP - sophie sounds like she's really enjoying the swimming. We'll be doing that with Ella once the weather warms up.
Nelly - Glad to hear you're feeling better. how's Jake feeling? Has his tooth cut through?
Kim - Good to hear sleep has returned to normal. I guess she was just keeping you on your toes! ;)
Tara - LOL at not waking the baby! Hilarious. Keep a baseball bat with you honey...
Work is fine. Its easy compared to looking after Ella. She is with my MIL during the day and she just screams and cries when I leave. When i come back she cries the instant she sees me - as if she's just realised I havent been around. I then give her dinner and bath and put her to bed. She's still not drinking from a bottle so she misses one BF during the day.
Sleep is better in our camp too. She now settles in 10mins when we pop her down and place our hand on her leg. She still gets up at 10pm for a feed and stirs at 3am and 5am but its not such a drama as she goes back to sleep pretty easily.
Ann
Ann - working is a breeze isnt' after being at home with a baby. Wonderful that Ella is settling easier, Aston is too. and I am still not feeding him before 4am, today it was 4.50am - so the time is moving out. He was unsettled more in the night, but went back to sleep quickly.
Nelly - poor bubba boy. breaks your heart doesnt it! Woohoo on the crawling though. Aston is stil getting frustrated at not going in the direction he wants to be going in. anyday now he will suddenly go forward, and that will be it! He has started waving though, and clappng his hands. which is very cute. :)
Christy - glad you got a relatively better night last night. Doesnt it feel like a gift when you get consecutive hours sleep after you had crappy nights for a while?
AJP - we start swimming on Friday. I'm a bit apprehensive about getting the old body beautiful out. Must find a pair of boardies before Friday!! And I must have a conversation with you about MCN. Are thinking of switching, but want to do the economics first...
Tara - hope no burgulars turned up - and if they did they didn't wake evie lol How's the food thing going?
Blanche - any luck with the bath for Emelia?
Kim - glad you are feeling a bit better darlin, and that you have made a decision about the future. Uncertainity is always so stressful, even more with an 8mth old, and one on the way!
Robyn - how are things in your world?
Me - had two hours all to myself this morning. Realised as I left the hosue that it is the first time that ASton has been left with anyone and either DH, DD or DS weren't with him! He was a good boy, slept for an hour, had lunch, and then was playing when I got home. It was nice because I got the I'm so excited to see you that DH gets every evening! I went op shopping and got some great stuff - 2 jumpers, 2 tops skirt and pair of jean for $55 - the skirt and one of the jumpers were brand new! So i'm a happy bunny.
Ann. MCN's are modern cloth nappies.
Vicky I was thinking of having a baby behinds party (sort of like a tupperware party) just to have the demo & costs figured out for our situation. Maybe I should have one as a BB meet up???
I like your thinking Christy.Had major dramas here last night with nappy leaking.
Got a job...dont know if i really want it. had fight with DH now hes gone to work

:( Tara *hugs* I hope you are okay.
Tara hope your ok love :( poor bum DH
Christy, BB parties are great you get to see up close what your buying, just remember dont bulk buy until you know that what you want!!! the have some new nappies on the way soon as well
:hugs: Tara.
Emelia went well in her big bath this morning at the start she cried, so i would stand her up and blow on her tummy (she loves that!!) and when she was happy again i would sit her down and she played with her toys, then i washed her hair and layed her down to wash it out and she was fine !! :s still a bit confused as y she went off baths but happy that she likes them again!!
had a great day here got all the housework done, Emelia slept well so very happy!
hope everyone is well
Hope all is ok Tara *HUGS*
