[Olive]

ok havent heard a peek for 11 minutes :fingerscrossed: shes asleep

[visitor1]

I kinda used to get that... but now having Craig home 24/7 he sees wat i went thru for the first 9 months alone 5 days a week, 12 hours a day. And i quote Craig "That kid does my head in"....lol

Oh i hope Sophie stays asleep for you.....makes a long day if she wakes again.

Lately of a night i check Chels is asleep but refuse to move her if she isnt under the covers for fear of waking her. She been sleeping thru again since i added the vapouriser to her room whilst she has this cold...seems to be working well.

On another note... was doing the gum/teeth check tonight... and 2 more top teeth are coming thru....my golly gosh 6 toothie pegs now!! No wonder ive had a grizzly and sick lil girl all at once.

She no longer has baths.. but big girl showers with daddy each night....seems to calm and relax her so much more....so once something is working.. i stick to it...til it phases out and im back to square 1

[luua]

Poor you AJP. Can she go to sleep if you rock her? Has the panadol worn off?

When ella has a rough night we stay at home the next day and keep the day simple. Otherwise she gets excited being out and then doesnt sleep again.

If it continues during the night take shifts with DH so at least you get some sleep.

Good luck please sleep for mummy Sophie...

Hey everyone

been a long while between visits again

just thought i would pop in with a Cooper update while i was thinking of it

He is now around 10kgs, has 4 teeth, he is nearly walking, he walks holding your hand but not that steady as yet, he walks along the walls with no trouble though, he says mum, bub, ta, car he is now copying what we say too, Mason was yelling whats that to everything on the tv screen, so cooper went and stood in front of tv yelling whats that lol, but he doesnt do it by himself, its funny though, he said what is it to a game we were playing earlier
He refuses to say Dad though lol, i have heard him say it here and there but when DH says say Daddy he just laughs at him lol, love his style
Asked him if he wanted vegetables the other day and he shook his head no lol
Everyone has gone through the sickness this winter so that was horrible, slowly the weather is coming to be nice more often than bad so we are getting out more

Cant believe its nearly the first birthdays already!!

hope that everyone is going well and i will pop in again sometime soon

[christy]

Wow Belinda!!! Great to "see" you again & get a Cooper update!

[Olive]

good to hear from you belinda!!!!!!

well she was asleep by 10.15pm on her knee faces planted into the matress!! very cute, couldnt move her for fear of waking, she sleep 10 hours so pretty darn happy!!!
ANN she's a very independent sleeper, has never been one to fall asleep being rocked or fed, would be ahndy sometimes!! also gave her some more panadol but i really do think it was a case of overtiredness

AF showed up again this morning which i was expecting after the cramps and sore nipples i had afortnight ago, 46 day cycle so will see how long the next one will be

[tiggerandpooh]

Hi... I'm here, just busy being mum, and making sure the kids are ok. will pop in in the week, and update... take care all. hugs

Just reread my quote above my ticker.... Think I may print it up BIG and put it on the fridge!!!

[visitor1]

Good to hear from you Belinda!! Copper sounds like her is doing well.

Bugger bout AF Jols..i can wait for the return of it!

Look forward to seeing u thru the week Vicky, hope all is well.

We had a good night.....Chelsea has taken to waking at 6am now....much to my disgust
Im worse today, voice is crap, throat feels like ive been drink acid, nose is stuffed up badly, head pounding...and i have a child that seems to think kicking me is great fun and sleeping isnt an option. MIL is betting a big baby...just great!!

Chels in bed now..playing and blowing raspberries and wingeing in between all that.

[Olive]

well another ****ish day of crying when going to bed, she went down tonight with out a peep, so fingers crossed things will be better tomorrow!!

AF is surprisingly light, i expected much worse, then again its only day one!!!
kim once i got the first one back i was actually looking forward to this one arriving, as silly as it sounds at least i sort of know what to expect although this one was 46 days, hopefully will get shorter

[luua]

Oh Kim - Sounds like Chelsea is testing you reaction. Ella does the same thing - bites and then smiles to see what i'm about to do. If i say NO. she cries. ah well they will learn eventually. God kim you are due any day now. If we dont see you online we'll assume youre holding your new bubs. so exciting.

AJP - yeah ella cries when she gets zipped in for bed. But she goes to bed easily after a whinge.

Hi belinda - I was just thinking about you the other day. Sounds like Cooper is doing extremely well and you'll have a walking talking baby soon. We're trying to teach Ella "Ta" as well. She enjoys giving us things so its a great chance to teach her.

Well we had a great day. Caught up with a friend over yumcha and Ella tucked into a radish loaf and tried to eat all the other dumplings we were eating. Not looking forward to going to work at all tomorrow and dealing with grown children. Ah well another day another dollar....

[christy]

Kim: cant believe you are nearly at the other end of it now, went fast for me because i wasnt really here but suprised me just the same

Blanche: Congratulations on your pregnancy

Vicky: hope that all is ok with you

nothing much doing here since last time i posted, took two of the kids for a walk to the park as mason was at daycare, then we got back and luke was watching tv then come out and wanted me to help him levitate midair I said its not real and he was yelling that it was and it would work if he thought happy thoughts

i joined a 10week body blitz thing and i posted photos of myself for before shots and i have been depressed ever since, i really didnt know i was that big!! hoping it motivates me once i get over the shock!

[christy]

oh Belinda its awful isn't it? I saw a photo of myself taken a few weeks ago and I hate it, everyone says how nice I look, but all I can see is how big I am. I'm not that big, but compared to what I was pre baby, I'm big.

[taralee]

Hi guys,
Just popping in to say we're still here. Sleeping going same as usual, usually asleep by 630 up at 930, anytime between 12 and 3 and then up for the day around 530. i have just accepted that that's how her sleeping is.
Another tooth through so thats 2 now. Saying 'ta' for thankyou, climbing down from stairs/bed/couch backwards.
Off to swimming lessons, hope everyone has a good day
Did anything get decided about the QLD meeting?
BTW I think it's the season for feeling 'big and frumpy' i need a serious self overhaul lol
