omg Nic i can't imagine how you must of felt. Thank goodness he is ok.


Amber no not yet, going to buy one soon since she'll be starting solid's from now to a month.

[boomba]

OMG Nic that is awful! i cantnot believe that no one said anything! I always ask lil kids where there parents are if they are by themselves! You gave me shivers as I read it especially the " I lost nixon this morning" my heart was in my throught!

Mo we will probbaly get one! Cant picture DH scraping poo into the toilet lol

Myles just had a sleep in his cot and when he woke up he had rolled over and was making a funny noise so I went in and he was trying to chew on the side rail nearly out of the cot! So I think its time to have the rail up! Man it scared the life out of me! x

[~Trish~]

Nic - Oh no, you poor thing!!! I can't IMAGINE how frightening that would have been . I hope you are able to wind down tonight!

Mo - Let us know how Maddi goes if you try her on solids!

Kim - I'm glad you can still go away for the weekend. I'm sure you will feel fantastic having some time away!

Rebecca - My DH becomes a bed-hogger as soon as I get up in the middle of the night too! He must think it is great to spread out

Saffi - I haven't been out for dinner since before K was born! I don't think I want to try go out with a 3yo and a baby!

Amber - I'm going to try waiting until 6 months to try solids too, but I won't make any promises once he hits 5 months lol!

I took Joel to kinder again today and it was the same - tears when I left him, but happy when I picked him up! It is really embarressing to have the only child there who cries when mum leaves .

K is getting really good at grabbing toys on the floor next to him and putting them in his gob and he really moves his body around these days. It's so cute watching them develop and change!

Anyway, I should get off the laptop, I have a splitting headache and the screen isn't making it feel any better!

[nickers]

Thanks girls!
i rang dh and told him to pick up some alcohol tonight, i havent had a drink for a while and feel like i need a couple!!
who havent read the story Nixon went walk about thismorning, lost him for 5-10min and was the longest time in my life. he was ok and all is good.

we used to go out to dinner lots with Nixon, he'd just sleep in the pram was easy! and im sure would be a good boy too, but Nixon aint fun anymore he wouldnt want to sit still and as u can tell like to explore and wander off!!

MIL always tells me how DH would always run off, so i guess its built into his genes! (and i always loved hiding under clothes racks in department stores!)

hope your headache clears soon Trish

Amber- it always takes a scare to realise what these cheeky children are capable of doesnt it! good example of master Nixon today. Tyron actually rolled onto his tummy on the floor and went to sleep yesterday! first time he has done that without getting cranky & spewing

[boomba]

Way to go Tyron! Myles always insists on rolling onto his tummy rigt after a feed! Lucky he doesnt spew too often!

[~kellie~]

Nic - big hugs to you.... I'm so glad to hear that Nixon is ok... it must have been just terrible!

[Saffi]

Nic - how awful! Thank goodness you had people help you look.

Finally managed to get L to sleep. He was up at 1.45 and eventhough was getting cranky just wouldn't sleep. In the end gave him a bath and what do you know now out like a light. DH will be home soon and will miss out on seeing him for a few hours or so. Think I need a drink too!

[LizzysMum]

Hugs Nic - its THE scariest feeling huh? I "lost" Eliza once and felt physically sick.

So glad to hear all you ladies discussing MCN's I have so many now that when they are all washed I can't even fit them in the cupboard (don't tell DH!)

I just got a Lotus AIO, a Dragonfly Magik AIO and an organic velour Dreameze fitted. A friend of mine who knits longies and shorties also gave Amara THE most stunning pair of longies. Variegated purple wool with sunflowers embroidered on the bum and leg - they are amazing.

Re Solids - we are also delaying until 6 months at least.

Since last posting Amara has got so good at grabbing stuff and holding toys etc. Its amazing how fast they change. She is also almost rolling. Oh and she is out of the cradle, I found her screaming with her legs stuck out the bars so its gone. I did not want her to go out of our room yet so she is in the port-a-cot in our room still. I am putting her in her room in the cot for day sleeps so she is used to it.

For the first time today she stayed awake from one feed to the next. She usually sleeps after evey feed, this may be the start of the 2 day sleep routine?????

Thanks for reading, sorry for not doing personals but I have to get to bed its midnight eeek!!

Night,

[~kellie~]

Good morning everyone!
Tahlia slept in her own room for the 1st time last night... it was nice being able to go to the toilet in the middle night without creeping around in fear of waking her up! She woke up at 4.30am though, she had unwrapped herself and was cold, so as soon as I wrapped her back up she was dozing again

My little girl is growing up!

[ninja_turtle]

holy carp, nic. that must have been terrifying. not looking forward to when my little energiser finds his legs.... (in some ways)

in other news... jj seemed to like his cereal. he's just like that with food. he'll just eat whatever i give, be it boob, bottle or rice mulch. he is so cute, he holds his own bottle. dh put him up to it. i came home last saturday to find him holding and glugging his own ebm bottle.

we swaddled him again last night and lo, surprise, no nappy leak all night because he couldn't roll and loosen it up. heh. thank god we got a bit more sleep because we've been pie-eyed and over it round here.

my sister (lact consultant) says i shouldn't be giving him cereal etc yet. she says i should hang on until 6 months. my supply has bolstered since his suckathon of last week and he's gone back to normal now. phew, glad those 9 or 10 feeds a day are over.

my 'a' key isn't working properly. guess the laptop is dying...

oh, in other carp news... AF came back with a vengeance, so all of you who were predicting james' fussiness was because of tht were dead right. gross. i hte AF. tampons make me boogedy after all this time.

i'm hiding inside with the AC today... stuff going out in 36 degrees.
