    crap night here too - aston was basically awake (sure felt that way) from 10 when we went to bed, until 2 when I gave him some nurofen - then slept til 6 - duh vicky - TEETH!! so I was tired and cranky this morning. Had to go to the doctor for bt results - which weren't entirely great (another story!) then off to the mediation session - which was the beginning of the process - if ex doesnt agree to go - well so be it - but I got heaps out of today, and if he does go it will be a bonus. so what started as a crappy day, ended pretty good on a high note, with DH helping nathan build his birthday presents, Laura playing with her new phone (!!!) and mummy running around like a chicken with her head cut off doing dinner bath bed x 3. all are sleepng now, so its quiet time for me. yay.

    We slept OK. Ella woke up a few times until her night feed at 10.30 then slept till 6.30.

    AJP - She goes on her tummy everyday but she rolls onto her back straight away. I've tried putting interesting stuff in front on of her but she just wants to get off her tummy. (her tummy is rolly polly)
    On her back she is happy to lie there and play...

    In the bath she will lean forward and pull herself (half) up on the rim of her bath.

    Dunno - i think that she'll just move when she wants to.

    Going to the GP tomorrow to chat about her weight loss. Its a mystery - she has 7 cubes for lunch and 10cubes of chicken rice vegies for dinner these days plus a custard dessert. WHERE is she putting it!?

    Oh girls, i just read the news story about the 2 week old baby mauled in perth by their pet husky. please please please let's pray for the family. i feel absolutely devastated after reading it it makes me sick to my stomach. lets just remember how lucky we are and that all these "problems" we think we have with our babies are so petty. God bless baby Kate.

    Its so sad taralee, I went to work tonight & a lady there had a puppy & was pregnant and she said she was petrified. She said she was going to try & sell the puppy now because she couldn't get over the fear. I talked with her about it & said I would help do some pre-baby training for her because I felt so sad for her. She had a husky & was petrified that this 10 week old puppy would kill her baby which is due in 2 months.

    I think it is so sad and so strange, because its so not in dogs nature to do what that dog would have had to have done. And so awful because the family has lost their special baby. I think I have to know more to pass judgement but at the same time I don't really want to know more...

    We are having better nights. I'm pretty sure having 3 teeth come out in 1 week was the cause for the horrible sleeping. Last night, Jovie slept better than Matilda and me. Then again, I wasn't sleeping because I was thinking of Matilda then I couldn't function today.

    Well we went to see the GP and Ella was thoroughly investigated - nothing wrong physically so not idea why she lost so much weight.

    We did cut out dairy 2months ago to see if it would make her eczema better but it hasnt. The GP advised us to start that again. So for afternoon tea she had a tub of yogurt and stick of cheese - she loved it!

    Tara - thinking about doing it all again? We are (well i am)...

    Ella hasnt had her afternoon sleep today or yesterday. Dont know why - but she seems happy enough. Maybe her day sleep patterns are changing again.

    How many day sleeps are all you guys having?

    LOL... i hate feeling clucky....i have a fear ill be the same again once bub is here...just like last time! My friend always says theres no time like now to start having babies....dunno what she means by it! She never wants kids. Happy to play with othrs and hand them back!

    Glad all was ok at the GP Ann....Chels loves yoghurt..hates cheese tho.

    Day sleeps....hmmm ive been putting Chelsea down around 1230 each day (up at 8am..or when she wakes up after that time) and she *might* nap for 30 mins-1hr if im lucky. And she goes down again around 5-530pm for 60-90 mins and then bed at 8-830pm.

    Blanche it must be tough to not get any time to yourself alone. I would get frustrated. I crave alone time.

    I got to meet up today with nelly & Vicky & kiddies!!! YAY! We also met one of nelly's friends up at the park. It was great to be out of the house & just get to sit for a while with the babies. Also to be able to talk IRL. I love seeing Jovie with the boys. Seeing her with babies the same age. Its gorgeous. She had her ezcema flair up a little while we were out & its disappeared again??? who knows.... I'm tired of tracking everything I eat, but I suppose its life for us for now.

    She's been having a tough time at night going to bed. She just keeps waking & is miserable & I'm pretty sure its because of something I've eaten or she is. Tonight she's refluxy again. I know its not dairy, but it could be the oats. She had it until Wednesday when I found out she was allergic to them, and twice a day.... so maybe its just getting out of her system.

    Hey Ann,
    Day sleeps for us are funny. if she has a really good night - like last night and the one before (2 in a row..booyah!) then her day sleeps are like 40mins and she's grumpy when she wakes up
    if she doesnt really sleep so great at night then she sleeps for anywhere between 40mins - 1.5hrs. actually any naps that are only 40mins long means she wakes up grumpy.
    either way she has a sleep every 2.5-3hrs and depending on how late her lunchtime nap is, she'll have 2-3 naps a day

    Finally I met Vicky IRL today! And found out that Christy and I have a connection that goes back a way... wow!

    Sleeps Tara - I think Jake is trying to reorganise his sleeps and feeds. He has dropped his 10am BF and some days doesn't have his 2pm one either. His sleeps are the same. Some days will go down @ 8am and sleep for 2 hrs, then back down by 130 --2pm and sleep for another hour. Other days he won't go down until 11ish (1 1/2 to 2 hrs) and that will be his only sleep - I try to put him down for pm and he screams for 45mins and then sleeps for a half hour so really a waste of time and energy. His nights are pretty crap ATM too - some nights only one or two wakings and resettle himself at least once, others 4 wakings and have to cuddle to settle he is so upset.... I wish someone would give me a copy of his operating manual... but usual bedtime 630 - 7 and waking has been 530 but usually 6-630.

    We went to dinner 2nite for friends up from Sydney and took Jake with us - even though Christy did offer to babysit - and he was pretty good. however we were home by 9 and are about to go to bed... we are sooo soft.

    Hi everyone else am going to bed - very tied two glasses of bubbles and I am asleep!
