Babies Born November 2007 #2

[june78]

Hi Ladies,
Well we are back from Townsville. Luckily just before the highway got flooded (so glad we didn't get stuck). The last couple of weeks have been pretty interesting for us. A few days before we left Jacob had a couple of nights where he went from four-hourly to be up every 1.5 and I could work out why. Well that became pretty obvious while we were away because he got his first tooth. I couldn't believe it, 2 days before he turned 3 months old. He has actually been pretty good with it. A little upset during the day, lots of drool and fairly irregular sleeping during the night. I got a bit teary though, because I feel like my little baby has disappeared now. He has also grownup so much over the last few weeks too. Just getting stronger and more vocal. Unfortunately the heat and humidity made him cranky and our fairly loose routine has gone out the window. He is still feeding about every three hours during the day but the nights now are all over the place and we have had the evening screaming sessions, which are more of a tantrum than crying. Hopefully now we are home we can get ourselves settled back again. I am going to start working on putting him in his cot while he is still a bit awake too, as we are still rocking him to sleep. I actually really enjoy that (love my cuddles), but it will make it easier in the long run if he can put himself too sleep.

I have tried to read up on everything that has happened with you all over the last few weeks. I hope you don't mind if I don't do personals as so much has happened. I will be back on track from now though!

Welcome Twinsister.

Hoody - I am thinking of you. I hope Molly is being a little kinder to you now!!

Hi Dragonbub, Willow and Suse

Hey Willow - so often I have heard women in my MOthers group say "he would be just perfect if he didn't ...", it could be dribble, spew, sleep better, feed better, not cry, etc. I even think Caden would be "perfect" if he didn't cry so loudly ( he is VERY loud) I mean, he is about the same grizzlyness as other babies, he is just more vocal! But really, I guess we get what we get, and it sounds like your lil man is thriving in all other ways. Definitley roll on the 4 months! As time goes on, they need less and less sleep during the day, so it wont be as much of an issue. Like you said to me - it DOES get better. My sis had a daughter from hell (lactose intolerant and reflux) and she was bad for 6 months! Eventually she got better, and now my sis is about to have her third!!! Her second bub was the same with the lactose and reflux, but there you go - back for more punishment

Hey June78 - welcome back. Luckily we are a slow thread so there isn't alot going on. Wow, our first tooth for our November bubs! Cause for celebration...

Hoody - hope things are getting better for you hun. I will remember to PM you my details so if you ever want to catch up, you can just call.

Well, bubs is getting cranky - ready for dinner and bed, so better go.

Whew it is hot!
