WTG Myles and Lu on mastering crawling. No looking back now.
Congrats to Ty on the 3rd tooth

Nic - had a good night with our goddaughter. She was a little anxious getting to sleep but I read her some stories and sat with her until she fell asleep. Then turned around and did the same thing with the little boy. We all watched Ice Age 2 this morning before taking her home. It was fun but I was so tired by the end of the day.

L tried out his new toys properly today. His favourite toy is the teether book. Already has been slobbered on heaps. His activity centre is so cool.

Oh well another weekend draws to a close. Hope you all had a good time.

Be back in the morning.

Congrats Ty on your 3rd tooth.

Morning everyone!

Hope you all had a great weekend. Ours was nice, we went and bought a new mattress from Beds for Backs, it is sooo comfortable and aligns your spine so there is no pressure anywhere. I've been waking up with my lower back in agony because our current mattress is so cr@ppy. Can't wait until our new one arrives!

K had another good night - bed at 7:30pm, slept through until 5am, had a feed then slept until 7am. I am only just starting to learn to sleep properly again! My body is so used to getting up numerous times a night that I find myself waking up frequently. I'm also getting a bit engorged since we dropped the dream feed. Oh the joys of babies!

Saffi - It sounds like you had a lot of fun with your goddaughter! It's tiring with an extra child around isn't it? Glad L likes his new toys. I bought K a Leap Frog activity centre and he loves it, it's great for a change of scenery!

Amber - Wow, Myles is so clever crawling!!! He must look so cute! Look out, once they're on the move they never stop!

Ange - How's your eye? I can't believe Lu is crawling properly either! Such a clever little chick. I look forward to K learning to move around, hopefully he will get less bored!

Nic - I'm glad Nixon's party went well! I'll have to check out your photos later. Tyron is a teething machine! It's great when they teeth quickly, at least you get it all out of the way lol!

Alz - I hope Ethan's cold is getting better. It's not nice when they're so sick.

Mo - Bummer about your phone! It's probably not the last time that will happen!

Kim - Nice to see you in here! I'm glad the girls are going well. Hope you have a great trip!

Celtic - I hope Ryan gets better soon. The poor little man has had a few colds hasn't he? Did you end up getting a humidifier?

Kellie - That's great Tahlia liked the rice cereal! Have you tried some more with her?

Willow - How is L's cold? Hopefully he is better or almost better. That's great that his sleeping is getting back to normal.

Viv - I hope you've had a better night's sleep with James.

Have a great day everyone!

Morning

I have huge respect now for parents with a baby and an older child. At least with babies they will have at least 1 or 2 naps during the day but the older ones - well it is go go go all the time. Our god-daughter's mum is actually expecting a baby at the end of September so she will have that situation to deal with. But Tashie is starting school next year so will only be for a few months or so.

Carp night again. Up every couple of hours again. I am pretty certain L has a cold so thats not helping and also he moves about his cot that he is always crashing into it. Does anyone else's bub move a lot in their sleep and any ideas on how to deal with it? Oh, and my other big baby has got a cold too.

Trish - won't let my DH know you have a new mattress. He has been bugging me about getting a new one for ages.

Anyway, hopefully L will have a nice long sleep today so I can get some zzz.

Saffi- Often i wake up to the sound to L banging her head on the side of the cot. I don't think there is alot you can do short of tying them down. That's the main reason i put her in a sleeping bag, she might be upside down and squished on the corner but at least she is warm.
I do wonder how i will cope with a toddler and a baby, borrowing one for the night is a great idea, although might put me off another! I'm not sure how i'll cope with being UTD and having a baby.....

Trish- So much better thanks for asking. Responded really well to the anti-viral meds. Just scabbing up nicely! Best part is i have a freezer full of mum's cooking. I won't have to cook for weeks.

Ok night here, except the 5.30am wakeup for the day.

A friend has a 5 month old and is 8 weeks pregnant! She is 40 and doesn't really have the luxury of time up her sleeve, but holy cow!

[ninja_turtle]

saffi - i think the boys are conspiring. another wakeful night for the monkey. still trying different things to see what will work. he also had the snuffles this morning. dh brought a cold home. meh.

who finds grobags/sleeping bags good? it's only just getting cold enough on the goldie now to look into bagging the little monkey, and i wonder if they're good.

myles - quick, crawl to the pantry and pull something out. don't tell mummee i said so...

[~kellie~]

Trish - we gave her some more yesterday, and I'll give her some more today

When do you start to make the quantity bigger? And how many days should I wait before I give her something else?

Ange - a 5 month old and pregnant! OMG! She will have her work cut out for her! A friend of mine is due at the end of June, and her 1st child hasn't even turned 1 yet!

Congrats to the bubs that are crawling! I hope Tahlia doesnt start any time soon, my house is far from child proof and I am having enough trouble with her rolling across the room as it is!

Heya all

Saffi - Glad you had a great time with your god-daughter. Yup, it is hard soetimes with 2 babies. But twice as rewarding! I must say, being pregnant, mainly just the first 3 months was EXHAUSTING!!! Luckily I had my Mum close by so if I was having a really yucky day or Liam was playing up a bit, she would come and help me! Ya definately need that. I Couldnt imagine having 3 at the moment tho. I think baby number 3 has been pu off for the VERY distant future!

Amber - Woot for Myles! He'll be walking next! Chels is trying so hard but still cant quite worl out the arms!

Trish - Yay on the mattress! I always think they are a great investment. We bought a new one when I found out I was pregnant with Liam. Could not handle being 9 months pregnant on a crappy mattress - LOL.

NT - Yeah I dont use a growbag yet either - I havent found it quite cold enough here yet, although the last few wekks are defintely getting there.

My little girl has a bad cold at the moment. She can hardly beathe at night poor little thing. She has only ever had 1 cold before but this one is a doozy! Using the humidifeier but I dont think its doing a lot. Just keeping her dosed up on Panadol, Fess and Baby Balsam. Just gotta ride it out.

So any body in this group planning on TTC anytime soon?
