Afternoon all!

We had one of our best nights ever last night! Usual dreamfeed at 9:30pm and he didn't wake once until 4:30am (he usually wakes at 1am and 3am for resettling), I fed him and he slept through until 7:30am! Miraculous for us LOL. Another couple of nights like that and I might lose the bags under my eyes! I doubt it is to do with the fact that he had rice cereal yesterday, he only had it in the morning so I doubt it would have such a dramatic affect so quickly? I dunno, but I'm giving him more today and we'll see what happens.

Celtic - I can't believe it was so hard to find nappy covers! You can usually get them from Coles and Woolworths/Safeway too. How are you finding being a SAHM again?

Viv - I haven't gotten my Ergo yet (hopefully next week) so I couldn't tell you from experience, but from what I've read people can hold their bub in it for hours. As soon as I put my Bjorn on my shoulders ache! I can't WAIT to wear the Ergo, it puts all the weight on your waist/hips just like a hiking backpack and absolutely no weight goes onto your shoulders. Try one out at a baby shop!

Tiff - That must be so annoying having idiots at your tourist park! Some people have no consideration for others, especially after a few drinks.

Becky - Bummer about the DC moving Liam into another room. I would definitely request he be moved back. You are the one paying them, you should get what you want!

Kellie - I hope to have the Ergos in next week. I don't know what kind of delay the public holiday will make. I'll let you know when they're here!

Saffi - Hope you had a better night last night.

Willow - It's so good that you are enjoying things now! It is hard work at the start, but it pays off doesn't it!

Rebecca - I'll let you know too when the Ergos arrive!

Anyhoo, better run, I just heard K fill his dacks! Have a great weekend everyone

Hi all,

wedding was great, luckily we were all inside and reception started before the rain started plenting down. i did however drink too much without even realising all of a sudden i felt really drunk! so started kicking in the water.
ive temporarily lost the camera though... im hoping ita at our friends place we stayed but havent been able to get through to him. Ive rang the place the wedding was at cause its also a restaurant, nothing handed in..... i know i took a few pics of the garter/bouquet being thrown which was at the end, dont remember what i did with it after that. the memory card has so many photos on it. i have a lot of them saved on the pc but the last few weeks worth were not.
its a cheap camera but our good camera is broken so really need it back!!

Trish- thats great Joel was good for kinda!

someone's bub is fussing about the boob? (sorry i forget who) could it be AF on the way?? Like Viv recently, i remember having a lot of problems with Nixon at this time which is when af first came back..
i like your way of thinking viv in regards to bub fusing and eggs fertilising!

Tyron is still wrapped for the night time sleep only. i use the thingy witht he velroe so dont actually have to wrap, still happy with that one

Hi everyone,
Had another shocker last night but that seems to be the norm at the moment. Not sure what else to do but at least dh is being helpful. He wasn't too bad this afternoon but E is not doing well tonight. DH is giving him a feed now and then we are all off to bed (hopefully for the whole night).

Gave Ethan some farex yesterday which he didn't really like, but tried again today. He was a bit better but still not really interested so I will wait another week and try again.

Have a great night all.

good morning everyone

Trish - thanks for that... we might go try one out today! Hope you had another good night last night.

Nic - hope you get your camera back

Viv - the pumpkin sounds like a nightmare! I dont particularly like it either, so we'll see how Tahlia goes when it comes her turn! Are you going to try another vegie? I've been told sweet potato is a good one for them too

Tahlia rolled yesterday! She was playing with my niece on the floor on her back, and I looked down at her and she was on her tummy. I asked my niece if she put her there and she said she did it herself, so I flipped her over again, and she rolled again! Hasn't done it since though!

Hope everyone is having a good long weekend (or is it just a long weekend in Melb?)

kellied - first thing i'm going to do is get a silicone spoon. the little plastic one is no good and i suspect he's in the throes of early teething because he keep gnawing on his finger on one side. i think it was less of the pumpkin and more of the spoon that upset him, after all, i had mixed it with ebm, and he's a sucker for that. he's probably built a negative association with pumpkin now! i have some sweet taters on ice for him but i'll give him a few days off before i do that.

Trish- yay finally some decent sleep for you! All the worries of the world seem that little bit less cruddy if you have a good nights sleep .

I'm liking being with Ryan all the time he's so happy and content all the time and so easy to entertain I try and take him out every day so he gets a bit of sunshine and I don't feel like a hermit. I'm wishing I had more to do but at the same time glad I don't because I know the motivation wouldnt last long. Loving the afternoon naps we have together.

As soon as I wrote he wasnt interested in his Farex he started making chewing faces at me so I gave him some apple instead of Farex and he ate the lot, took the spoon and started mauling it and wouldn't let go so just let him play with it lol. He still doesnt seem to like the Farex much but loves apple so will just give him some watered down mush and see how he goes. Had about 4 spoon fulls and I think 2 made it in the mouth not just all over the clothes lol

a question for the ergo wearing mums - are you able to feed bubs while they are in the carrier? I've read that you can, but I'm not too convinced

*Sigh*

So much for turning a corner. DS has had pretty crappy sleeps today and has been so hard to settle. Didn't have a sleep at all this morning because he just wouldn't settle - dunno what's going on but I hope it passes. How does he go from being almost perfect all week to carp again in 24 hours flat??
