Well I survived today. He didn't sleep much (only 2 one hour sleeps). I thought I'd lie down too but by the time I did he decided to wake up. I hate it when that happens. Hopefully he will go to bed easily tonight and I might get an early night - got to go to work tomorrow. hehe
Just saw the funniest thing. L is in his activity centre chewing on a rusk. One of my dogs was sitting there just waiting for when it fell on the floor - which it did. She made very short work of it. I know this sounds gross, but I feed all the dropped ones on the floor to the dog. She loves them.
Definitely think L is teething again. Grumpy, heaps of pooey nappies, off his food.
Kellie - KWYM about the bibs. We go through tons of them. Ikea have 5 bibs for $7 Bargain! Trish - I can just picture you and the boys now hanging 10 off Bells Beach. Viv - Veuve - classy! Where's mine?? Still older than you, you spring chicken. Rebecca - KWYM about working outside the home and being a mum. You get home after a long day and have another shift ahead of you. But its worth it. In the end it is finding the balance that works for you and your family. Have to admit to having a few twinges of guilt/saddness when I walk out of the daycare centre. They are really good but it feels like you are missing out. Thats how I feel anyway. Alz - you can't force a baby to sleep so if he is happy to do one sleep a day then one sleep it is. Not only do bubs inherit DH's looks but also their sleeping patterns.
Anyway, DH has just come home so better see how he coped with his first day back.
It was a lovely sunny day here, so bundled Lu into the pram and headed off on a walk through the bush. We were about 4 km's from home, when a storm blew in, i had no raincoat, just a little pram cover for Lu. The pram started leaking and dripping on her face, she was not impressed and started screaming! So i took her out and we huddled in a hollow tree for half an hour until DH drove past on his way home!!! Lucky i had one of the dogs with me, she barked when he was coming so i ran out onto the road. He was very surprised to find a dripping wet wife and a baby wrapped in plastic!
I am exhausted now.
Waste not want not Saffi! Our dogs get everything that the guni can't finish! I think i'll head to ikea for some more bibs, thanks for the tip. How'd forst day back at work go for your DH?
Alz- like Saffi said they are their own dogs. If he only need one sleep then that's what he needs, as long as both of you are happy.
Clare- Can i come to your place for dinner??? YUM! Not looking forward to molars.
Trish- What caravan did you decide on. We have a camper trailer and i love it. Want to upgrade though to a flasher one! I can't wait to put Lu on a board either. A friends DD was riding a mal when she was 3! He would set her up standing and then give her a gentle push to take off, so cute.
Can't stop thinging about veuve now. i want some bubbles!
Ange you always can make my day with a great story! Hope you 2 were not too cold! You dog must be like lassie knowing when your DH was coming! lol!
Julia what type of dog do have again?
Alz I think all babies are really different when it comes to sleep! Myles can go all day with one big sleep or he usually has 2 maybe 3 lil sleeps of about 40mins! But he is not a big sleeper anyway!
Willow what great sleep! Send some of those vibes this way please! Will you be expressing for when your at work and at work?
Mo Myles has some muesli and some toast and scrambled egg for brekky most mornings! I with you on not being a brekky person but having Myles makes me eat it which is good!
Rebecca Hope your friend pops soon! And C will do her thing when she si ready! I miss having a non mobile baby sometimes! Myles never stops!lol!
Viv so glad you had a nice birthday! I wish i could have had bubbles on mine dam boobie feeding lol! Maybe James is getting more teeth?
Kellied i know what you mean about the bibs! We got some cute ones from target with the days of the weeks on them so we would have one for each day but DH decided he would use them whenever
Trish we would love a caravan! Its so easy camping with myles that a caravan would make it even easier! Maybe you send be sending me sleeping vibes 12 hours wow! thats great!
Claire mmmm warm choc brownie! Hope your lil man starts sleeping better !
Saffi Glad you survived your day home with L! hope your dh didnt miss L too much!
Not much happening here in the energiser bunny house! He just doesnt stop! Even Terri(star) commented on how much energy he has! Oh god what type of teenager will i have, mustn't think about it! Myles is loving his food too now! He had spaghetti last night and has scrambled eggs every morning! Well most of it ends up on the floor but he enjoys it!
Better go have a great night xoxoxox
Hi ladies, I am new to this thread and just stopped in to say hi.
I live on the Gold Coast and have 2 girls one age 4 and my bubs is 8 months. She was born 4 weeks early and sat up at 6 months and is almost crawling. We started her on solids at 5 months and she eats anything, everything and all the time, she is my 'chubby bubby'.
As for sleeping she sleeps from 7 till 12, up for 15 mins for a habit feed and then back to bed till 7:30am. Day will have one 2 hours sleep in the morning and a half hour nap late arvo, but if we go out she only has 2 hours sometimes 3 hours. Cant complain about that.
Ange - You poor things! We got caught in the rain too today. I swear every afternoon when I take the boys for a walk it rains when we are too far from home! I hope you're warm and dry now. We are looking at getting a pop-top caravan with triple bunks at the back for the kids (one bunk for storage or a friend/cousin). They are very hard to come by second hand, the ones we have seen at the dealers cost as much as a new one! A camper trailer would be awesome though! We used to always just tent it, so a camper trailer would have been luxury for us.
Amber - Wow, Myles really does sound like an energiser bunny! Joel was exactly the same as a bub, I used to look forward to his bedtime just so I could have a break!
Saffi - I'm glad you survived today! Our dog always gets the kids leftovers, there's nothing he won't eat so at least nothing ever goes to waste!! How was your DH's first day back?
Claire - mmm...warm brownies...can't blame you for not sharing with the kids LOL!
Kelly. Welcome.
Welcome Kelly! We're a friendly bunch of mums, I'm sure you'll have fun here!
