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).
kuraiza - Zander goes to bed relatively early - normally anywhere between 7pm and 8pm - but last night was up and down for 90 mins cos he would start screaming - which he has never done, I am more convinced teeth now. That is the routine I have gotten him into to coincide with my other two - I dont particularly want to get the other two into bed, then still be up for 2 hours with Zander - definitely no me/us time then!
Dream feed doesnt work here, Zander either just purses his lips, or wakes fully and is difficult to settle. He fed last night at 3am but with his probs feeding the last few days i am fine with that - he then slept until 7.30 and I have put him back down with some Bonjela now!
Amanda - go to doc - my advice is get the anti's anyway - as kuraiza said - once the chills and shakes set in, ohmy - very scary and you won't be able to look after your kids - you will need your DH or someone else responsible around - first time I had it was this time b/f too and it was terribly frightening - i cant recall feeling so out of it and sick - so a couple of weeks ago when i got a hot patch etc, thats why i went straight to docs and got antis!
Zander woke at 2am but settled with a brief pat, and as i said fed at 3am - i did give him paracetomal at about 8pm though when we had tried to put him down twice already - and he still took 45 mins after that to sleep - his gums this morning look a bit more mushy - but poor fella clocked himself in the head with a toy he was shaking all over the place - so hard to tell if before bed crying was head or mouth lol.
By early I mean: Jude would call it a day at 5pm some days (if I let him), I usually keep him busy til at least 6pm or he'll wake up at 4.30am and think it's play time.
re bed times.. yeh Mia has an early one 7pm-8pm. She dream feeds at 11 and sleeps till about 7am. Im looking for some baby hairclips, just the plain ones to try and do something with Mia's crazy hair, anyone know where i can get some, i have already looked on Ebay.
ETA - not quite that early.. but 7 is still early i guess.. the suns still out lol
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.
Morning Hollye,How is little Mia today? V goes to bed at 8-8.30pm every night. I hope you find the clips you want. hugs The butterfly clips are the best, I have to agree with Sami. You can also try Best & Less. V hates anything on her head.
HEY! Just for the record, that joke about women all getting their periods the same time online was my joke, Sami was quoting me. For an out-of-work writer, I've got to keep the credit for my work!
I don't think 7-8pm is too early. It's a good time for a baby to go to bed.
I'll be checking my post regularly.
Finally got her back to sleep at 4am and then she woke at 6am.
