Mason has chicken pox now too, so annoyed as i thought we might be ok and just luke would have it but nope, so hoping that Cooper doesnt have it too now or me!
Kathryn: I hope it doesnt spread through your house either
Sorry havent really read up much, had a busy day, will be back when things are quieter
Well my day got better. Jazz got some sleep, Gem and I shared ice cream(feel good food!) and then I went to do a grocery shop all by myself tonight....felt weird with no kids! LOVED IT!LMAO! Am about to give Jazz a bottle then I'm off for some much needed sleep...........night night girls
We didnt have a quiet one last night, well i did, i went to bed around 2am as i just cant sleep lately! Then Cooper got Bill up at 2.30am so hoping he sleeps longer tonight, i tried him with a bigger bottle tonight to see if that stretches him out more
Well i must say i had the best night sleep last night, that ive had since before i was pregnant with Charlie. Feels good to wake up at 7am and not be tired!
Yay Tegan!
Oh no Belinda. It's a pity they couldn't at least have had it at the same time and got it over and done with. Funny that there is a chicken pox outbreak on the Sunny Coast and in Adelaide - just goes to show how these things spread.
Marion, hope the growth spurt is all over for you. They don't seem to last long. It is interesting that they've all had them at about the same time. I'll have to tell MIL who told me I was "insane" for feeding Tom so often when he had his, and that I was just making the problem worse. AAGGHH!
Kirsty, glad your day improved. The ice cream sounds good!
Emma, hope Gaby had a good night for you. Enjoy cuddly while you can - they grow up so quickly!
Woo hoo!! We had our best night yet. Tom woke at midnight and 4am!! Yippee!!
Both boys are wanting cuddles now so I'd better go.
Melanie - My Aunty was here today, she babysat while I had my doctor's appointment, and she insisted I shouldn't feed her so much too, and said I was just spoiling her and encouraging her to cry for food!! She sounds similar to your MIL!!!
LOL at your MIL's Marion and Melanie...how can you spoil a bub by feeding it!WEIRD!
Thats fantastic Tegan that you woke up not tired.....I'm jealous!
Well we had a good night, bottles 3-4 hourly and Jazz went back to sleep straight after each bottle and shes asleep in her bouncer now.
It's awful when people tell you that you are doing things wrong. With MIL it was especially annoying as she was also telling me I should be doing more to stop him crying. I am sure not feeding a hungry child wouldn't stop him crying so much!!!!!!! But I guess she is from the generation where they were told to only feed every 4 hours no matter what so maybe I should be blaming the medical profession rather than her!!
Glad you had a good night Kirsty.
Hi Girls
We were up twice during the night so that was okay, although i had a crap sleep cause Lachlan was in our bed. He is still spotty today but it isn't bothering him any, so I'd say he has a very mild case cause he has been immunised against chicken pox.
Spoke to the GP about Ashton possibly obtaining it and he said he should be fine cause he will get full immunisation from me through the breast milk.
Love
Well hope its only a mild case and noone else gets it
Mason still has a few spots but i am not sure now if it is CP or not really, so will just keep my eye on it
Done a big post earlier then computer froze on me!
Mason says Cooper's name now, is cute, he was holding him earlier and then put his dummy back in and was patting him on belly to settle him, he was doing a good job of it :)
Sorry to hear you all have to put up with the unwanted advice, luckily i dont get it here, they arent game enough to bother telling me what i should do lol, MIL is scared of me :) But we get on well nowadays after years of struggle with her being a know it all PITA!
Well i hope this is a sign of things to come because Charlie slept through the night again! Although it was from 12pm to 7am but that's when we sleep anyway.
Emma, maybe Gaby had wind and that's why she was unsettled. Sometimes though babies do just cry for the sake of crying, usually for comfort but sometimes just to make a whole lot of noise! I found Lily loved to test her lungs out every now and then.
This is exactly what we are like now too Belinda. They never festered up like chicken pox should and he is still a bit spotty, and he hasn't been scratching them or anything. so we really have no idea. Beginning to wonder if it was an allergy to Dymadon Suspension as he had that over the weekend to bring down the 3 day fever he had, but then the 3 day fever and the red throat followed by spots are all c/p signs as well so who bloody knows LMAO.:
*Tegan* That is fantastic that you got 7 hours sleep again last night !!
Emma - I think growth spurts can last a good few days, but I am really not sure LOL.
We had a crap night here but I was expecting it. It is hot again in Adelaide and Ashton slept most of the day away yesterday cause of the heat, and going 5hrly between feeds, then the feed itself would only be about 10 mins. So cause last night was cooler he was awake every 2 hours through the night making up for the feeds he didn't have yesterday.
When he woke at 6am after being fed at 4 I thought stuff it I will get up. I have already done 2 loads of washing and folded and put away the 2 loads I did yesterday and it has just gone 8am.
Love
Kirsten seems to have stopped sleeping as well, she was sleeping 5-6 hours at night before but the last few nights have been more unsettled.
Although the other night she slept from 2-9 with only a 10 min feed in the middle!
So maybe 12-7 will happen..I can dream!!
Got my 6 week check up tomorrow, when I'm supposed to be told I'm absolutely recovered I'm sure, except I am still sore and hobbling around and no way is hubby getting near me!!
Marion
Well sorry to hear some of you arent having good nights
I have no idea on the growth spurts really
Kathryn: Luke had it the same although he got new spots each day but they only just dried up straight away and werent really itchy, maybe they are just getting a really mild case, i remember a few years ago that luke has spots in his stomach and the doctor said it was a virus and not CP, so could be that as well
Well i was just in the car for ages driving, Nephew had to pick up his mobile he left on the bus a couple of weeks ago, was so lucky to get it back, then had to go get his wallet he lost, asked him if he was on drugs cause he keeps losing stuff, he said he wasnt lol
Then had to put some money in the bank, was good as Richard just got out of the car and done it all while we waited, even went through drive through to get lunch on the way home lol, so the kids never got out
Phew, she slept from 1245-6 last night, which is a bit better. She did feed constantly from about 9pm-1245am though, so I am still exhausted!
She seems to sleep in the mornings and feed constantly from about 3pm, so I have to run about getting everything done in the morning!
She was weighed yesterday and is now 8lbs 6oz, which is tiny for 6 weeks but a good weight gain for her!
Her head is getting a bit flat on one side because she always lies one way so we have to encourage her to lie the other way round.
Marion
Hi all, glad things are improving for you. This will be a quick post because I need to get to bed. Had a good night but a shocker of a day. It's been stinking hot. Tom has barely slept, he has cried most of the day. It appears to be hunger but then he refuses the breast. I tried everything and finally he had two feeds late this afternoon and now seems to have gone down for a long sleep. I wonder if it's the heat or something else..
I have had a stinking headadche with nausea. It has eased with the panadol I finally got to take at 5:30 but I still don't feel too well so I'm going down for a long sleep too (I hope LOL!!). I think maybe I just got dehydrated in the hot weather and with Tom unsettled I didn't drink much. I should know better when bfing. We have air con but I was outside for a while.
Wishing everyone a 12 - 7 night!!
Ooh, just realised, Tom is supposed to have his 2 month vaccinations tomorrow (he was 2mo on Sat). I hope he's better in the morning!
Oh Melanie you reminded me to book Ashton in elsewhere for his injections. Our GP can only do it at a time that doesn't really suit me, so will have to see about having them done elsewhere.
I too have had a shocker headache today, but probably the same not drinking enough water in the hotter weather today, especially with Ashton feeding alot today. I am about to wake him up and feed him and then head to bed, as he is sleeping a bit longer now it is cooled down a tad.
Love
Melanie, i'm dreading when i have to take Charlie to get his 2mth vaccinations. I really hate it when they cry in pain. I hope you feel better after your long sleep(and hope you get the long sleep too!)
Kathryn, I hope you and Ashton have a better night sleep tonight.
Charlie has been unsettled most of the day. I caught him smiling at himself this morning while i changed his nappy, too cute. Then he gave me and DH a few smiles this arvo. He has had a huge growthspurt overnight, i swear. Yesterday he fitted perfectly in his wrap and now it's too small. Also he has had to go into a few 000 clothing now because he is so long, but they still swim on him because he's so skinny! Am hoping he sleeps though the night again tonight.
Aren't the smiles wonderful!
We put her in her car seat yesterday and she sat and grinned!
The physio just rang me with an appt for the 11th to see if they can sort out my extremely sore tailbone...hopefully I will be able to sit comfortably at last!!
Marion
goodluck with the appointment Marion.
I am hoping or a good nights sleep too Tegan although if Ashton sleeps well I doubt I will it is too hot. We don't have air con here
Love
Its been really hot here to. We have air con in our bedroom so Jasmine and I went in there and slept for 3 hours!! Gem was in daycare. The heat is starting to mess with me though. I get headaches and feel so lathargic. Hopefully we get some storms to sort it out as its just so humid!
This is the only time I am ever glad of the Scottish weather!
Its about 12C here, which prob sounds freezing to you, but is very mild for this time of year for us.
I won't be so happy in a few weeks when its 0C and snowing though!
Marion
Well another one who had a headache today, and i didnt drink enough either, well i drank a lot of coke but doubt that counts as good fluids lol
Not much to say really as i am tired and need to do housework as i have inspection tommorow, i chose to sit down and watch a show marathon on MTV instead lol, bad idea, ah well will do half an hour tidy then think about bed after that
Cant believe some of the babies are nearly 2mths old!! Its flying by!
I am going back and forth with thoughts of do i want anymore or not, so many arguments i can have with myself either way, so will just think about it for six months and see what i think after that
Oh Belinda I have drank alot of coke lately as well, which is weird for me cause I don't usually.
Had a reasonably okay night last night. Ended up waking Ashton at 10.15pm to change his nappy get him ready for bed and feed him. He then woke up at 11.15pm and I said a mouthful of not so nice stuff under my breath LOL. I went into his room and realised I left the ceiling fan on, so I turned that off and he went back to sleep. Ooops.
He then woke at 4am so that was 5 hrs between feeding, and woke again just after 6am so up for good now.
Love
Well Charlie slept through again! Although it was only from 12-6:30. but still, that is 3 nights in a row now! Gave him a bottle, changed his nappy, wrapped him back up and had a cuddle and now he's asleep again, has been for about 40 minutes now.
Kathryn, glad you had a better night.
Goodmorning ladies
We had another goodnight. Jasmine had bottles at 7.30pm, 1.30am and again at 6.30am and is asleep now.She seems to be able to stretch out a bit more a night now. Normally she might stir after 3-4hours but I pop a dummy in and she goes back to sleep!Very sneaky!
Looks like being a cool day here today!YAY! It was 37 yesterday, but soooo humid.
Emma-LOL at wishing Gaby had vomited on her daddy instead of you!!
Tegan-you lucky biatch!! I can't believe Charlie is sleeping through.
Kathryn-I normally say a few nasty words under my breath if Jasmine ever wakes shortly after I go to bed as I end up falling asleep in the chair while feeding her.
Belinda-Don't you hate inspections. we had one not long ago.I cleaned up an hour before they arrived!PMSL!And to top it off I haven;t cleaned since then. Gemma painted the fish tank in cereal to so the house looks sooo gross!!It was so hard to get off.
Marion-I'm so jealous that you guys get snow.I prefer the cold weather to hot weather thats for sure!
Melanie-Hope Tom's vaccinations go well.
Kate- Hows Rylee going?? I hope the losec is still kinda working. Have you seen the pead again to see what they've come up with?? Thinking of you and your girls. Hope your getting more sleep.
Better go Jazz is hungie..............
Well you can't have them back LOL but we can split them ;) WTG on the weight gain too!
Wow Tegan, sounds like you have a baby who sleeps through the night! Well done!
Kat, your night doesn't sound too bad. I hope you are feeling better today.
Marion, wow, the snow sounds appealing after yesterday!! Funny though, today is quite cool.
Belinda, hope you are feeling better today too.
Kirsty, you also have a good little sleeper there.
Tom had his 3rd good night in a row - 5 hours sleep, then 4! Unfortunately Jack didn't sleep well. His room was really hot so we put him in ours but he has never slept well in our bed for some reason. Oh well, I slept well and DH was awake a lot with Jack climbing over him LOL!!
Tom screamed at his vaccinations, for about 2 mins then fell asleep!
Emma, lol don't have any tips to get him to sleep through, he just does! But so did Lily from 4 days old.
Kirsty, glad you had a better night last night.
Charlie is asleep again right now. He is such an easy baby most of the time. I really though after Lily being the perfect baby i'd have a terror, but nope. It's making me want even more children now.
Yeah, i think with me, i just miss being pregnant, even though i complain so much towards the end lol. So are you and Stu back together again? Must have missed you mentioning that one!
Not me I'm not clucky. Think its from having these 2 girls so close together. I could not even imagine being pregnant again for a while if ever again to be honest. Mind you I had alot of fertility probs to and can't imagine having to go through all that all over again, not any time soon anyway.
Hi Girls
hot and humid here again today. Andrew knocks off in just over an hour so when he gets home I am hitting the shops ALONE !!! Might make me feel a bit refreshed being in their air con. He was going to work back, but I said over my dead body LOL.
Ashton has slept heaps today again with this yuckkie weather. It is meant to be 25 tomorrow so no doubt he will want feeding all day to make up for what he isn't having today.
Starting to TT Lachlan too... day 1 .... *sigh* hope it doesnt' take a year like it did Kameron LOL
Love
LOL Kathryn I've been thinking about the TT days ahead!! Luckily at daycare they start TT them in the toddler room and Gem's in there next year!YAY. I wouldn't have the foggest where to even begin. I could just imagine her running through the house with poo smeared everywhere as I chase her and her squeeling with delight....not a pretty thought!
Another clucky one here!! Although after yesterday I might change my mind!!
Jack started to TT by himself before Tom was born. He would run to the toilet and flush it when he'd wet or dirtied his nappy. Then he started asking to sit on the toilet. But it stopped when Tom was born. Now he's started asking to sit on the toilet again, and he keeps saying "wet nappy, change nappy" when he's peed. I'm not game enough to put undies on him yet though.
I went shopping with Tom this afternoon to buy Jack's chrissy present while Jack's at day care. I'd been looking forward to it and Tom slept the whole time (I even bought a pair of shorts for me). But I did miss Jack. He points at everything now and tells me what it is and it was strange walking past things without it!! LOL!!
We get Lily to sit on the toilet every now and then jusrt to get her used to it. She's started pulling at her nappy too when she wants it changed. So it's a start.
Charlie is still asleep! Been an easy day to tidy up a bit.
Am so unclucky,..everyone keeps asking me when I am having another one, and I just can't imagine ever doing so, probably because I had such an awful pregnancy and birth.
She is a very very good baby though!
She slept from 12-5.30 last night too. She still has a big 3 hour feed between 9 and 12 though which is really tiring me out, bottle feeding is tiring on the arms!!
