Babies Born November 2006 #7

Happy Birthday Blanche!!

Jovie is awake up to 3 hours sometimes & sleeps for 45 at the most....

Aston usually has 3 sleeps during the day, the first or second one being the biggest. Most of the time though they are about 45mins - hour and half. He is up about 2 hours now, before he starts to get grizzly and want to go back to bed. He starts the day about 5- 6, which means I'm usually shattered by 8, when he is going down for a snooze for the first time.

Ive had enuf.. im call sleep talk to get help... Chels is getting worse and will not sleep or even settle any more. I need rest as does DH but we are not oday im off to Family Day Care to find a new carer...

Tmrw we are off to NSW until Sunday for a wedding. Take care all and have a great weekend.

Happy Birthday Blanche :dance:

Kim - sorry to hear that Chelsea's sleep is getting worse. Its hard when you need all the rest for the other bubs too. Has it been going on for ages or just recently? When Ella turned 5Mo she woke up 6 times a night for a few days... Have a great time at the wedding.

hey everyone

just letting you know i am still about

Pulled my back out so will add more later

kids are good

Been about 3 weeks now... and just getting worse...i thought it was an age thing.... but even my health nurse said theres more to it and i need to seek help. To top things off she says Chels also suffers from separation anxiety (sp?). SO i dunno how the hell i fix that now????

Ill Try have fun at the wedding. Mum and Dad are watching Chels for the night.. first time we have been out with out Chels in tow!!

*hugs* Kim its really hard being sleep deprived!!!

Please remember that the health nurses don't always have the right advice either!!! I think 3 weeks is more than just a phase or age related thing, but at the same time the MCHN's are often eager to get people into sleep centres.... and they like to diagnose things without really knowing all the factors. I thought it was a developmental thing for them to want to be held alot and be near mummy.... :( I hope it is because Jovie certainly wants to be held all the time & doesn't want a bar of daddy....

I agree with Christy Kim - it is around this age that they become very aware of the No. 1 carer is, and who the most important people in their world are. Aston has been whinging the last couple of days, because DH has started a new job and isnt here in the day like he was, plus the kids have gone back to school. So all he is has is me...

I hope you are able to enjoy the wedding darlin. Sleep deprivation is horrid, and can send you right over the edge. Do what ever you need to do to keep sane say I!.

well i;m crap today, woke with a slight sore throat yesterday which turned into tonsilitis by last night, ended up at Dr's at 9.30pm getting AB's, woke today witha cold!!! aarrhhhh

hope u feel better soon ajp

i woke up yesterday morning with a fever couldnt even get out of bed, think its a 24 hour bug, so Leigh had to come home from work asap cos i couldnt even get up to Emelia..hes home again today to look after us:D im feeling abit better im walking around today! even though im in the toilet every 5 mins (sorry tmi!)

Yuck for feeling sick, girls I hope you recover soon!!

We are in Sydney atm. We flew here today for FIL's 80th birthday. Matilda was atrocious at the airport, but Jovie was an absolute dream. She fell asleep just as we sat down on the plane and slept in her sling for 30 minutes. She woke up & was fantastic, had a feed on the breast & settled really well. Matilda was okay for the flight as well. We got to IL's house easy enough but Jovie wouldn't settle easy (whats new anyway ;)) so she went to bed early because she was so tired... hopefully she'll sleep well tonight!!!

I'm back!! Feeling a little homesick, but was great being home again if only for a few days. We all had the cold while we were away which made evie so ratty and everyone was seeing her for the first time - she didnt look so cute with red eyes and a snotty nose! poor baby!
Flying with her was actually good. we got the bassinet so she was happy to sleep in it and actually went to sleep even easier than she does at home! we had the red-eye flight from perth to sydney and she slept the entire way! i was stoked cos it meant i got some sleep (actually also watched a movie that was really soft porn in disguise). then from sydney to gold coast she screamed most of the way just because she was so tired and over it all. but everyone knew better than us of course 'get up and walk around with her' 'feed her' 'pat her bum' 'making shhh'ing noises' i just wanted to smack everyone in the head! i said 'well we have been travelling for 10hours now...she's done really well'! anyways i have a star jet setting baby and thats that!
hope everyone's well...dont even know where to begin to catch up but i think i will go and rest my influenza-ridden head for a while :)

Hey kim, i was just thinking and i dont know if this sounds stupid are you still bf'ing? can you do that when pg? now i will go rest

WB Taralee. that visit flew by! hope u are feeling better soon.

Christy - have a great time away. Glad the girls flew well

Blanche - hope you are feelng better soon too.

You too AJP - what is going on at the moment?? are we exchanging germs via cyber space.

Hope everyone else is good. got heaps of washing to do today. oh what joy. and thats about it for me....

Hey everyone feeling much better today, it was great to have Leigh home to help out i just layed in bed or on the couch watching foxtel..i was thinking to myself i should pretend im sick sometime just so i can get that treatment lol!!!!

Tara- i dont blame ya from wanting to smack everyone in the head!! that would have been so frustrating.

have a great weekend everyone

Blanche i'm glad you feel better, so do i!!!

SOPHIE can now roll both ways!! woo hoo

That's brilliant AJP - aston has been rolling over from back to front for the last week and half, and then gets frustrated that he can't get back.

While we were sitting eating dinner tonight, Aston was whinging, and watching each of us eat, avidly. so I decided to try him on some farex - thought that if he didn't want it, he would spit it out. Well he just about ripped the spoon out of my hand, and was disappointed when it was all gone!! So I will see how he goes tonight. Hopefully there won't be any adverse reaction. I feel guilty because hes not 6months yet....
