Kellie i found when Myles was teething he would wake up with a different cry evena really painfull scream! It broke my heart! Panadol worked a treat! I am so bummed he cant wear the necklace at night cause i reckon it would help! Hope she sleeps better tonight!
Rebecca congrats on the baby! what a great labour she had! Beautiful name too!
x
M is getting her fifth tooth & seems to be really bothering her as-well, dosing her up on panadol & teething relief.
I feel so bad for her & there is nothing i can really do!
Trish got my book today, already reading it, even has a nice section for dads so gonna get Phil to read it.
Kellie hope Tahlia sleeps better for you tonight, It could be her teeth M wakes multiple times a night when she's teething.
Rebecca congrats to your friend, sounds like she had a great labour!
Ange story made me giggle as-well, so glad your DH saved the 3 of you!
Welcome Kelly.
Nickers good luck with the move
My Sister isn't doing well, she ended up have a c-sect because she had alot of problems last pregnancy/birth. Now she has an infection & the think she may have a blood clot as she is coughing up blood. Hoping it's something less serious & it bites i can't be there to help as she is in NSW. The good thing is her two eldest daughters are 21 & 19 so they can help but i still wish i could be there.
Aww mo your having a real rough patch lately! Sending you and your sister lots of love and healthy vibes!
Boy its been quiet in here!
Mo - :hug: you really are having a bad patch... hope things improve for you soon!
Not sure if Tahlia was teething cause she was fine last night... was a PITA to get to sleep, she finally drifted off around 10, but then she didnt wake till 8am. I'm thinking it might be time to drop her late afternoon nap, cause yesterday she slept from 5 till about 6.30, which probably didnt help with getting her to bed. Or maybe I should let her sleep still, but not for as long?
Kellie I know what you mean about sleeps. Caitlyn is only have 2 during the day at daycare and they are only short ones - 30-45 mins at most. But at home on the weekends she has 2-3 and they are normally really quite long - 3 hours on Sunday. I think they can stimulate her more at daycare than what I can at home so she gets bored and stroppy at home and I think she is tired so I put her down. I can't get it right with her on the weekends.
It has been really quiet in here - came in here for some light relief and to read some updates.....oh well. Still no teeth here...there is one just sitting under the surface I can see this little white thing but nothing is breaking through. Oh well - will just play the waiting game.
Have a great day all!
MWAH
Afternoon!
Nothing very exciting happening with me. K is still not moving a lot, but he is generally pretty happy. He loves to copy when I say or do something. He still has dry itchy skin, but I'm going to the chiro next week so I will ask him about it, he is a bit of an expert in eczema, etc.
Rebecca - Congrats to your friend on her bub! How are they going? Re: the caravan, we have been keeping a close eye on eBay and the Trading Post, just waiting on the right one to pop up!
Kellie - I hope a tooth pops through and Tahlia goes back to sleeping normally! Day naps are tricky sometimes. K had a two hour nap this morning and then didn't go down for his next nap until much later than usual, so I have no idea what will happen this evening!
Mo - I'm glad the book arrived so quickly! Which one did you end up getting? I hope your sister is OK, it's pretty scary for her by the sounds of it. How is her bub going?
Nic - Good luck with the big move! How exciting moving into your own place!! Let us know how you went when you get back online.
Saffi - How has L been going overnight? Hopefully you've had some better sleeps!
Amber - IKWYM about having a squirming baby. Joel wouldn't sit still very long for books either which disappointed me, but the older he got the more he loves them. DH reads to him every night now and they both love it. As Myles gets older and gets over the novelty of being able to move and get into stuff he'll want lots more cuddles and quality time with you, I promise! Joel is the biggest mummy's boy ;).
Hope you all are having a great day!
Hey all
Kellie - I tell a lie! The Ikea bibs were actually $4 for 5. Their dimensions are Length: 29 cm,Width: 22 cm (so they are smaller than my Target ones) You can check them out on the Ikea website.
Trish - the last couple of nights have been pretty ordinary with L, but thanks for asking. Monday night was the worst. Last night I was up twice and so was DH. At 4am I resorted to Panadol. Not sure if it helped, as DH was up to him twice after that. He did sleep until after 7am. Bought the No Cry Sleep Solution book today. Wonder if it has the answer?
Rebecca - KWYM about daycare and sleeps. L's sleeps are much shorter there than at home. Don't be hard on yourself! Of course they stimulate her - they are professionals who's sole job is to take care of your child. They are not trying to manage a house, be a wife, a mother, and have me time all at once. It doesn't hurt for bubs to learn how to entertain themselves.
L's been vomiting today, which isn't like him. No temperature, but really off his food. My poor friend was looking after him for the first time today. She's got a child already but I reckon she's wondering what she's signed up for looking after L. She's pregnant with her second bub so she's getting some practice. LOL I'm at home tomorrow so can keep an eye on him. Seems happy enough tho.
On a sad (tragic) note my colleague's wife delivered her twins on Monday. They were still born! She was about 37 weeks pregnant. She had been going for weekly scans for the last month or so and they were doing really well, had strong heart beats and were a good size. My colleague started parental leave last Friday. I can't understand how within 2 days they can go from being healthy to still born. I don't know any of the details. All of us at work are shattered. I'd spent hours talking with my colleague about baby stuff in the months since I'd been back at work. Life just isn't fair! You'd never get over something like that! I feel so guilty that I have a healthy baby.
Sorry to end my post on much a sad note.
SAffi- that is so devastating. I just can't begin to imagine how they must be feeling.
Mo- Hope your sis is ok. Man you can't win a trick at the moment. We're getting another tooth too. sucks eh?
Yeah Lu used to be too squirmy to read, but she is just getting into books now. Only short ones with big pictures and as long as i am quick! :lol:I am sure Myles loves his mummy just as much as the next cuddly baby! ;)
Oh Saffi i am so sorry thats so awful! i cannot begin to imagine wht she must be going through! Sending lots of love your and her way! xxxxx
Hi everyone
I did write a message earlier but the site crashed when I posted it...I will try and remember just a lil bit....
Max got his second tooth yesterday....It's been hard as DH is away again. We just booked a flight to the UK for November too, which is exciting and something to look forward to.
He is also still not moving a lot....has been to the physio a couple of times and just needs to get some strength in his neck so he can hold up his weight (all 10kg of it!). Trish....with the chiro, have they ever said that kids can have trouble moving if their back/neck is out or anything...I'm just a bit scared of chiro's...Good luck finding out about K's skin.
Amber - How are you going with getting Myles out of your bed? Max has been in my bed a few times, but really when he is sad coz of the teeth....poor little muffin! - P.S Charlie is an Old English Sheepdog...ie Dulux Paint (boy that company owes me!)
Kellie - your nights sound similar to mine...bet a tooth is on it's way!
Rebecca - the teeth do come....I thought I was going to have a gummy immobile kid to raise, but Max is getting there...just slowly! Yay for friends having baby's...mine had one on the 2nd July...I went and saw him and just couldn't believe Max was ever like that!
Mo - Hugs to ya!
Saffi - That is awful, your poor friends....I couldn't imagine anything worse.
Sorry I didn't get to read back very far...hope all is well with everyone I missed
:)
Thanks everyone, things have to start getting better soon!
On the upside my Mum is doing really well, She does armchair aerobics Mon-Fri, she's making friends with everyone, joins in with the activities. She seems really happy there, Everyone adores Maddi & Mum loves showing her off lol.
So i feel so much relaxed now i know Mum is happy.
Trish i got Raising a happy child.
Saffi-That is so sad, i can't even imagine the pain your friends are going through.
:cheer: that's awsome Mo! Glad she's settled in. Armchair aeorobics heh? :lol: i can just imagine them all
Hey all!
Mo - That's great your mum is settling in happily!
Julia - Yay on Max's second tooth! Re: the chiro, yes a misalignment can hamper movement. K had a curved spine when he was born and the chiro said it could cause problems with moving later. He's still not moving much though LOL! If you see a chiro, make sure you see a paediatric one. Our chiro is soooo gentle, he doesn't do any "cracking".
Saffi - I am so sorry to hear about your work collegue :(. This is just devestating. I'm thinking of her and her family. The No Cry Sleep Solution book won't give you a quick magic answer re: sleep, but it will give you some ideas to help L eventually sleep better.
It's a very boring day here. Joel & I have been playing Uno while K has been trying to grab our cards. It's actually good for K because it is encouraging him to try and move over to us! He is rolling around everywhere now, I was worried he would be a lazy lump forever, only rolling when he felt like it!! Joel was well and truly crawling at this age, it's so frustrating that K still doesn't do much!
My mum is taking Joel for the day tomorrow, so it will be nice to have some time with just K. My 13 year old neice is staying with mum for a few days over the holidays and Joel just adores her, I'm sure he'll have a blast. Hooray for not trying to entertain a 3 year old for another day LOL!
Thank you everyone for the congrats etc on my friends baby. She is doing well and baby is doing well. They are having a few issues re feeding but I made sure that she understands that no matter what the midwives may say....there are alternatives to BFing if she feels it isnt happening. She is going home today and she is hoping that being in her own comfy environment will help to establish everything. I hope so too. I know baby needs to have a scan on her kidneys as one was larger than the other on ultrasound prior to birth but I dont know whether that has happened as yet. I will give her a call at some stage and have a decent chat.
I just had a call from daycare - Caitlyn has diarrhoea. So much so that she needed a change of clothes and is now in daycare clothes! I think it might have been the little bit of mandarin that I gave her???? Or the pea and ham soup....of course it could also be teeth?? She has a little drool rash on her chin!? I dont know - its all very hard.
Saffi-I am so sorry to hear about your workmate - there is a REALLY good forum on here for dealing with late loss.
Trish - I know what you mean about bubs not doing much. C just wants to sit on the floor and play with her toys. Lay her down - trying to encourage rolling - and she cries. Lay her on her tummy and she cries. I know I can afford to leave her cry for a few minutes but she just sounds sooooo unhappy. I put her on her belly when I get to daycare of a morning and she is fine but I was discussing it with Miss Connie (the worlds BEST carer!) and she thinks that C doesnt mind it so much because she has company!! I dont know - not a good enough reason to go back for a second just yet!
Anyway - I actually have some work to do so I had better go do it.
Have a great day all! MWAH
Hi Everyone
Trish - hope K's skin clears up for you soon.... its amazing the way the chiros can help with stuff like that too! Hope you enjoy your day with Kieran
Saffi - that is such sad news, life it just not fair sometimes. It makes us realise how lucky we are.
Mo - glad to hear your mum is settling in well
I still havent figured out if Tahlia is teething or not. After a really horrible night on Wednesday night (up every 3-4 hrs), she went down last night at about 9 and woke up at 8, with only a few small grizzles overnight that I didn't even need to get up to. However she woke up majorly grumpy and is in bed again now
Hope everyone has a great day!
still birth - not much could be worse than that. i was watching something the other day that has linked a virus to something like 20% of still born babies. poor lady...
we had a **** night, though compared to ^^^ i suppose it's not that bad.
would be good if the teeth would come on the top if they're going to! 4x poos yesterday and drool galore. sigh.
Saffi - I'm so sorry for your poor friend. You're right, it's not something you can ever get over, more that you just learn to function again eventually I guess. My heart goes out to them both...
Not much happening here, teething again. One top tooth through, the other nearly through. Sleep not too badly affected, but day sleeps today carp - resorted to giving him some nurofen, never done that in the day time before! The poor little guy just couldn't sleep, did the trick though, he slept for over 2 hours. Nights had improved heaps after he finally shook that cough, was feeding him before i went to bed then once over night, waking at about 7.40am most mornings. But with his teeth, i'm getting up to him twice some nights.
Funny the different perceptions of a 'bad' night - up until recently 3-4hour blocks of sleep overnight was the norm here!! I guess it's just what you're used to.
He's pulling himself up on furniture and standing now all day every day (in his cot too :wall:) which has resulted in a few stacks and bumps on the head, but nothing a quick cuddle hasn't been able to fix. Cut his finger on something today and it wouldn't stop bleeding, put a band aid on but then he tried to eat it off his finger :rolleyes:.
Anyway, he's just woken up so gotta run...not sure how the rest of the day will pan out now, he doesn't do well if I try to put him down for a sleep after 3pm, so not sure what i'll do with him!!
Hope all are well!
hi girls !
Julia I love those dogs! My friend had one when we were little and he was actually the son of the dulux dog! Yay on the second tooth! Myles is sleeping better and better each night which is great!
Trish Have a nice day with K tomorrow! I have my fingers crossed that my next baby will be a lump lol! I don't know if i could handle 2 mini energiser bunnies!!!!
Mo so glad your mum is settling in!
Willow Crawling and teeth! wow you have a one busy fella on your hands! So glad he hasn't been too upset with his teeth!
Rebecca so glad your friend is doing well! Poor Caitlyn hope she is ok?
Kellie hope a tooth comes through soon!
Viv hope some teeth come your way too!
Hi everyone else i missed!
Well we had a big day today! We went to the Brisbane BB meet up! It was great! Got to meet some of the girls and their bubs! All were soo cute! We caught the bus and Myles was entertaining everyone!
I did post this in the BF part but i have found a lump in my boob! I am pretty sure it will be a blocked duct but it still has not gone and its been a week! so i have a referal to see someone for a ultrasound! I am a little freaked out cause my aunt has just recovered form breast cancer after radium! But i am being positive!
We are also hiring a new staff member for the bakery so that's keeping us busy! Oh and so is the lil man, he chats away now and cruise the furniture so quickly now i think he will be walking very soon!
anyway have a good night! xx
