PP - when someone knocks on your door/rings your bell in the middle of the night and runs away lol
DISCOVERY
Well, Zander just had another runny nappy - I thought hmmm - had a good look at his bottom gum, and yep, there are two definite white lines there, his teeth are just under the surface so wont be long i think until they cut - hopefully that explains the unsettledness of the past week. got the teething gel out now
For mummies who havent seen kids teething - ppl tend to look at the front of the gum - but you have to look more towards the back of the front gum - that is where they cut and then move forward a bit as they grow if that makes sense - you can miss it otherwise, and have to get them to move their tongue lol - i think i did with Riley and thats why i didn't really know until they had cut. Mind you he was 7 months and Zander is only 4.5 ......
Sami - I might look at Maya's gums when she wakes up next. She is such a different baby lately!
PP - Ohhh.. very exciting. I'll be checking my post regularly.
Last night I got Maya into bed earlier than normal.. 9pm! Well that's early for her. Then she woke at 2am and was up for 2 hours!!!!!!!!!! That was so tough! Finally got her back to sleep at 4am and then she woke at 6am. Then she went back to sleep around 8am for another 2 hours, so I had a nap then too. I am soooooooooo tired at the moment though. She seems to be easier to put down during the day at the moment rather than night time.
I had a nice afternoon today though. Went to a mother's group picnic and I started talking to one mum about how I want to try cloth nappies and was asking her questions about it and she's getting rid of some of hers so she's offered to give them to me to try. Plus she's going to give me some of the ones she likes to have a go with too. So now I can have a proper go at trying cloth and trying different kinds before I decide whether to buy.
aww gorgeous avi Kat - love the saying too hehehehe... hmm I feel like chocky now!
Well X has been totally out of sorts, screaming at 2.30am... screaming this arvo... then I took him shopping and he was angelic! Go figure huh.
PP - OMG I cannot believe how long it's been since you've had AF, I'm truly envious lol. And woo hoo for E rolling!
SamiH - good info re teething. I'd wondered about X cos he is out of sorts, having MUCH smaller feeds than usual, lots of screaming etc... but I can't see any teeth there.
Tanya - I reckon Maya & Xander were PM'ing each other at 2 in the morning... "shall we wake up mummy? Yeaaaah let's do it, she doesn't really need sleep!"
Katones - nice work on the daddy-break!
Bought a bouncer on ebay today, I'm getting hooked it's soooo exciting!
V day was good, DH and I exchanged cards and we tried to have our romantic dinner, didn't quite go to plan.... but we ended up having a late dinner and dessert.
I've got the beginnings of mastitis in my left boobie, have a big red/hot patch just above the areola, I've been massaging it...so hopefully I won't be having to get antibiotics. I've got a slight temp and a headache, I've never had it before so don't really know the symptoms.
Amanda: Take Panadol if you feel any chills coming on because once you start shivering uncontrollably it's really awful, that's what happened to me. If it gets to that, go see a doctor immediately and take the antibiotics. You do not want the infection to get any worse. A girl from my antenatal group had to have her breast drained with bandages inside her breast, and had to go to the hospital to have the bandages drained every day for over a week, so don't delay seeing a doctor is my warning.
Tanya: Does that happen very often that you're up for 2 hours at night trying to resettle Maya? It doesn't sound like you're getting any sleep these days. I don't sleep either, but it's mostly my own fault because I can't go back to sleep after feeding Jude. He usually feeds twice a night.
I'm really curious about these babies going to bed so late at night. Does anyone else have a baby that crashes very early at night like Jude does? He also wakes up early, there's no way I could convince him to sleep in til 8am. Not a chance.
I can't dream feed Jude. Once he crashes he can't be woken until he decides to wake up, and if I try to feed him in his sleep he just lies there like a rag doll and comfort suckles a little bit, but doesn't swallow any milk. I wish he would dream feed and skip a night feed (or 2).
Sami - I think it is true us women following suit with AF. I have to say I am so crabby too. Just not happy Jan!!!!! We used to call it Knock and Run when we were kids.
Amanda - Thank you. Sorry about the Mastitis, I hope you feel better soon hun. Thats nice you and DH are thinking about No. 6. My DH is definately not going there. hehehe
Georgi - I just knew I was going to get AF the first time, the ewcm was in abundance ewwwww!!!!!
PP - I envy you too with not having AF for so long. You know I think it is the other way round for me, DH is the one that is way too scared of another pgcy. hehehe
Katones - Woohoo for Jack having two white teeth.
Kuraiza - I am a sheep too.
Belfie - I hope AF is being have itself.
Teru - As the others mentioned about ewcm and ovulation. Hope your study went well.
Tanya - Gee a massage sounds nice, lucky you.
Well as for the DTD topic, I believe we have done it abit more the 6times since having V, I think DH would go nuts if he didnt get it. The first time I was soooo nervous about it, and I must say it hurt alllloooootttttt. Even now still does. Its the only time I am glad AF is visiting.
As for teething, the earliest I had one of my kids get teeth was at 3mths, one day my DS2 had 2teeth the following week he had another 2, so a total of 4teeth at 3mths. I hope all your bubba's cope well.
Anyway I have 2 kidlets at home sick today not fun poor things. hugs V also has decided to get up an hour earlier than usual. hugs all.
Finally got her back to sleep at 4am and then she woke at 6am. 
Then she went back to sleep around 8am for another 2 hours, so I had a nap then too. I am soooooooooo tired at the moment though. She seems to be easier to put down during the day at the moment rather than night time. 
So now I can have a proper go at trying cloth and trying different kinds before I decide whether to buy.
