    Well I took Julian to the Drs yesterday and he's got a viral chest infection, nothing they can do so my poor bubba is going to be snotty and chesty until he's better. I put off him getting his needles until he's better, hopefully that will be next week.

    Sami yay for getting RAKed, you deserved it.

    Cheryl
    I so know how it is to have the oldest ones sick, sometimes I think they are worse then the littlies.

    Belfie yay for getting the overalls for X, make sure you post a pic of him in them.

    Hi everyone else.

    hugs xoxo

    Sami - I noticed today Maya has a little white dot on her lower gums. Could that be a tooth?? I have no idea what I'm looking for. And for all I know that dot has always been there cos I've never studied her gums before. Also it's not in a location I would have thought a first tooth would be - so I'm not sure if it really is a tooth or something else.

    csab - Hope V is feeling better soon.

    kuraiza - You are very lucky that Jude had a good reaction to the vaccinations. Maya slept heaps after the 2 months vaccinations and I just expected it would be the same deal for the 4 month ones. But she was so unsettled and had a fever this time. And that's when she stopped sleeping well! Dinner sorted for the week is great. The gallery is still around but the link to it is gone. You'll have to search around to find it.

    Amanda - I hope Julian is feeling better soon!

    I had a better night with Maya - so belfie your sleep vibes worked for her. She was in bed at 9pm and woke at 1am, 5am and 8am. But the fantastic part is that I could actually put her straight back down after feeding at 1 and 5 and she went straight to sleep. She hasn't done that in ages now. It's not the getting up to feed her that bothers me - it's the rocking her to sleep for ages afterwards that bothers me. So it was great that I didn't have to do that last night. Though I still had a horrible nights sleep cos I kept expecting her to wake any minute.

    I had to rock her to sleep for her late morning nap - which I wish I didn't have to do, but it's not as bad during the day as it is at night time! I still might consider sleep school - but maybe a day stay or something. Just to get some ideas on how to settle her. Today I'm going to go to the library though and borrow books on getting babies to sleep, so maybe one of those might help?!

    Ok.. off to get a coffee!

    Hey - it might be - or it could be thrush too not that thrush is funny but yeah its hard to say without seeing it - the teeth pop up a little further back in the gum than when they are fully through, is that what you mean? Otherwise, if any of your friends are around or MG with other kids etc - get them to have a looksie.

    I checked Zanders again this morning, I think he will end up betting both very close together, they are just sitting under the skin - maybe another week?

    put him down for nap, he is up and down at the moment with uncomfortableness - and when down last time after 30 mins woke and did a poo so I couldnt really just resettle him lol.

    kat - there is a thread that i didnt read random act of kindness day - everyone who upgraded to plat could nominate another member to be upgraded, or if they are already plat (like me) they get another year added on to their membership. lovely gesture - so PM me whoever it was ... I have a little idea, but they are not supposed to put it in a thread etc .....

    She doesn't have any other white dots.. so I don't think it's thrush. Unless it's just the start of thrush.

    What do you mean by they pop up a little further back in the gum? Do you mean towards the back? Or further left or right? The dot is further left along the gum line.

    I did have a look at another kids gum at MG cos the mum said her baby's teeth were starting to push up and Maya's gums don't look the same at all. So that makes me think it might not be teeth. Maybe it's just a weird blemish.

    Well that was fun. I found the gallery but now I see why there's no link to it anymore. I managed to upload a few photos, but it took a good hour.

    Here's one: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...8&ppuser=14092

    Question: Does anyone's baby suddenly wake up and bellow out a very loud and very real cry (not a sob, I mean a full-blown wail)? Sometimes I think Jude's having nightmares.

    Congrats csab & SamiH on your RAK'ing! (is that a usable word?) very well deserved.

    Tanya - so glad to hear the vibes worked!

    AmandaJ - lol I bought 12 - 18 m.o. size in overalls... cos I, um er ... already have sufficient overalls in any sizes less than that! So it'll be a while. But you'll see the next ones I have lined up... sooooo cute! Like I said.. I have a problems. Is it possible to be an overallaholic?

    kuraiza - re the vaccinations!! And yum on the food, can he cook enuff for all of us? teheh

    csab - aaaw poor little sick chooky! Have V and Julian been sharing snot?

    Ok, back to my bookkeeping - got MIL here looking after X. And I've been good, only posted once which isn't too much procrastinating at all!!

    amy - Welcome back.

    kuraiza - Cute photos of Jude. He looks so much older now. As for crying out in sleep - Maya does that too. But I wonder if it's when she's about to wake.. and then doesn't actually wake.

    I went to the library this afternoon and have borrowed Tweedle's book on sleep so hopefully it'll have some good tips for me in there!

    Poor Maya has been doing huge vomits today. She hardly ever vomits and when she does it's always small. So I dunno if that means she's sick!?

    Sami - Congrats on the RAK'ing, I got RAK'ed too.

    Belfie - Thanks so much, V has more than likely been sharing snot with Julian, hehehe. Poor little bubs. She isnt a happy chappy at all today. I thinks I am going to be in for a hell of a night tonight. As for the bookkeeping, gee arent you good, I still havent looked at mine today, I must tomorrow tho. So much to do.

    Amy - Yes we did miss you.

    Amanda - I hope Julian gets better real soon hun. I knew it was only a matter of time before V got it. hugs

    I am so sorry ladies, but I must tend to V.... hugs I hope all your bubs have a good nights rest.

    csab - woohoo you are deserving well and truly - such a kind word to say to everyone

    Well it made my day - I am trying not to go out of my mind with Z - he has been such an easy going bub - the last 2 days he wont sleep more than 30 minutes stint ( sorry yesterday mornng was his last good one - 2 hours), won't resettle, i know the teeth are coming, but shouldnt muck up that much - and for a change he is feeding beautifully the last few days I thought, house is much quieter now school/preschool started - maybe he is just missing the kids. I just dont know - i havent changed any routine, when he wakes from the 30 mins and has a hissy fit and i end up picking him up - he cuddles into me and closes his eyes again, but back in the cot after 5 mins he is crying again - i have always put him down semiawake so

    any ideas i can extract from your brains ladies?

    I know i cant beat myself up too much, i am giving him all the right conditions, right environment, I can't make him sleep - but frustrating cos I honestly cannot get anythign done inbetween school runs etc.
