anyone out there
anyone?!?!!?
or is everyone :hiding: thinking about :bedtime: or already :asleep:
Still down and out here....all 3 of us now :(
awww kim i think you need to think about :bedtime: and go to :asleep:
I would be thinking bout bed time but i got lotsa pains...im kinda hoping its not bub giving me a heads up and wants to vacate :(
Chelsea is at least in bed. Hasnt slept a wink all day. Didnt go to FDC... her carer said why not and i told her she has a viral infection which she might have picked up from care and i didnt want it spread to any other kids, and i was told i needed a medical cert for it... like wtf... she is 10 months old....i never got one..lol
i'm here AJP. watched a DVD - Children of men. Interesting idea of an era of infertile women...makes me think how luck we all are to be able to have children.
Ann
ive been watching the footy!! GO CATS woohoo!! no collingwood!!!
sophie has the same sippy cup as ella, just in green!!
glad you enjoyed yopur dvd ann
Ann, i watched that awhile ago,very interesting movie!
I seen them staw cups at the chemist this arvo was gonna grab one, but didnt!
Hope u are all feeling better soon Kim.
Emelia says, mum mum, nan nan, dada, ta and i swear she says whos that! she took 2 steps today again !!!
forgot to metion aswell, yesterday had CHN appt...Emelia weighs 11.18kgs now and is 74.2cms long!
HA just when i thought we had this sleepi9ng thing worked out again, BAM she wont sleep today!!! been up for 6 hours, very overtired!!
GO KIMBAZ! Thinking of you and your wait. Most bubs apparently don't arrive on the EDA, but i bet you're prolly anxious to meet your wriggly little person now! Four weeks to go, nesting time.
Strange about FDC wanting a BABY to have a doctor's certificate for a no-show. There you are being considerate of other kids getting ill ( at a time you could probably do with CHelsea being looked after by someone else, so you rest ) and you get that response??? I wonder if it's a case of "your kid doesn't show, i don't get paid"???
Christy, i am estranged from my father too, and my mother, for some very serious reasons, but i can't help but worry how bilby will miss out, not having grandparents. But i know, to keep her safe, i need to keep the status quo.
i think i have been getting Matilda and Jovie mixed up - so sorry, i really do have trouble remembering who goes with who (IRL, on all the forums i'm on). My memory is not coping too well, so if i say the wrong name, but you can guess from the context who i mean, i hope you all are not TOO offended, it's not intentional! I've had a brain injury previously, so it's not JUST baby brain i'm trying to cope with.
Blanchie - congrats on getting pregnant! woo hoo! maybe everyone already knew, but i just noticed your signature - so C O N G R A T S !!!!
29 days to goooooo.... yeah im still here.. bub didnt vacate thru the night...and dont appear today is the day either...lol
Gigi i was surprised by the comment too... next time ill send her and all the kids can get sick....im sure then i will be told not to send her if she is unwell again. The carer dont get much money from us so bas luck to her.. but i could ahve been the case of 'Now i wont have as much $$ to spend on the weekend' and also she gets 4 'sick' days a year so really no loss?? I really could have used the break yesterday...man it was a sucky day. Couldnt rest or sleep :(
Jols your day sounds like mine yesterday from 8am-9pm Chelsea had a total of 30 mins sleep all day!! Boy does she have her daddies temper when tired.. but me being stubborn has followed into her genes and fought sleep..LOL
Today Chelsea has had 2, 2 hour naps....this never happens... i think her lil body is finally listening and trying to repair itself. Me and DH are on a spring clean (well he is and im supervising, but calling the shots now and then) and an eBay sell out...getting rid of stuff we dont want or taking up space....if its not nailed down... DH is selling it *Holds Chelsea tight* j/k!!
Hows things going Christy, Tara, Blanche, Vicky (thinking of u hun), Ann, and anyone else ive forgotten (sorry)!!??
kim sophies only had 45 mins today!! most unlike her!! but she'll probably be in bed at 6.30, whingy too, really think her teeth are moving, she's chewing her fingers like there no tomorrow!!
glad you all on the mend, bugger FDC
BLANCH forgot to mention before...WOW on the 11kg!!! last time i weighed sophie on the home scales she was 8.7kg, last night she was 8.5kg, so i think lost some weight since crawling around so much
i cant keep up with you guys anymore!
sorry!!
Chelsea is 8.7kg and 72cm long.
She says dad, dada, nan,bub, buba, up...but not mum or mama any more :(
Nods her head 'Yes'...even when she is in troulbe and u say NO she nods Yes..lol
Wont clap yet either.
Poor u Jols...must be teeth....Chelsea was like that last week when her 2 top ones were coming down....but yesterday was just a write off...but most days she isnt much of a sleeper....but normaly more then 30 mins!
As long as u are ok Tara, keeping up doesnt matter :P
Emelia thinks she is pretty clever when she claps and waves, gets a big grin on her face!!
i just got some video of her taking steps, its on our blog..i could never get her to do it on camera so had to bribe her with her nail clippers :S
OMG Blanche... i seen ur ticker.. Only 222 days to go.... gee that seems like years dont it!! Had a look at your blog.....what a clever young girl you have....should be very proud. Emelia is so advanced!
i know its ages away lol, but is going quick cant believe its been 2 weeks since finding out :)
OMG blanch thats sooooo cute!! she so strong!! sophies walking with our hands and sometimes just holding onto one hand but still wobbly, loves to clap and wave though waves to her self with her hand back to front very cute though!!!
well sophies in bed and its 5.55pm, she hasnt gone down that ealy for months, wonder what sort of night im going to have!!! did give her panadol though tonight one cheek is very red
Did anyone else know that u can give panadol and nurefon at the same time? i never knew that but found out at the chemist last night!!
WOW at Emelia!! Clever girl!
Tara- don't worry about keeping up, sometimes I miss pages & just join in when I can.
Kim - :( I remember how hard the last few weeks were with Jovie, and with everything else, I hope you can get some rest & that Chelsea starts saying mum again!
Gigi - don't worry!! I don't mind if you mix up Jovie & Matilda ;) its all good mate. I spent a few nights when I was pregnant with Matilda up and upset about the fact that she wouldn't have a grandfather in my dad... I really felt for her missing that part, DH's father is seriously ill atm with motor neuron disease and doesn't have much time left so they will both grow up without knowing grandfathers. I just hope we can adopt an older couple to be close grandparents.
Ella would do ANYTHING to get a suck of her nail clippers. LOL Emelia is so clever. Actually ALL your babies are clever crawling before 12months. My GP said they should be crawling at 12mo and walking at 18mo.
I could eat Emelia's thighs...delicious mmmmm
Christy - i'm the same. after work i try and log in otherwise i'm soooo behind.
AJP - dont know whether i should call you Jols...coz i havent met you so i keep calling you AJP. Ella only had 1.5hrs today. We were at her cousin's 2nd birthday and was too excited. She slept on the way home for an hour.
These day's Ella loves to share things with me...her dummy, banana, toys. its so cute - maybe she could feed me!
Ann
Ella pulled up to bending in the bath :)
weill i officailly have a feral child!!! went straight to sleep tonight woke at 7.30 it's now 10 and she's still up!!! crying in bed soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo overtired, very stressed here, so heart breaking hearing her cry :(
ANN arnt kids parties so much fun!!!
Aw Jols....ya poor thing.. ive learnt not to but Chels to bed early cos she thinks its just nap time.. not sleep for the night time. So never before 8-830 anymore! Tonight she went straight down not a sound could be heard...
she normally goes without a peep but cos she had next to no sleep today she was ready that early
Bugger.. over tired kids are the worst.....when Chels gets like that, i get her up for 20-30 mins, let her play and crawl around then, bottle if i think its been long enuf then back to bed...normally works...but sometimes 3+ hours im still at it, in tears and frustrated too!
Then i start the 'I dont wanna be a mum anymore, wat did i do to deserve this' :(
i know how you feel, DH made an insensitive comment tonight that really got my back upm he's been at work all day so has no idea what our day entails, coment was along the lines of not coping! not happy jan!!! and boy did i let him know about it!!
ok havent heard a peek for 11 minutes :fingerscrossed: shes asleep
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 :D
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...
Ann
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 :)
Wow Belinda!!! Great to "see" you again & get a Cooper update!
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
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!!!
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.
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
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....
Ann
Ann I don't know how you do it!
Vicky *hugs* school holidays, crazy... supposed to get warm later in the week too.
Us... still going ;) Nothing new to report.
man another quiet one in here tonight!!
well we had a slightly better day with the sleep, had afight with the first one went down almost straight away this arvo and didnt hear a peep tonight, i did look up my wonder weeks book and were right in the middle of a wonder weeks week, so explains a little
hope everyone is well!!
