Morning! Thought I'd pop in here now that my mum has taken the boys to the park and Alana is having a nap.
Willow - Yep, it is the Kiddopottamus wrap . It really worked last night! She slept for 7.5 hours, had a feed and went back to sleep until 8:30am! This is what she was doing before she got sick and then started getting out of all her wraps. I am soooo happy and I hope we have just as much success tonight. I went in to get her this morning and she was still wrapped up tight and was giving me massive gummy smiles, so cute! Thanks for the offer of lending my your wraps, but I might just look at buying some second hand off eBay. I'd be worried I'd wreck yours or something LOL! Keep trying with the hammock, sometimes it takes a few goes for them to like it.
Celtic - I'm so glad you got an appointment for a scan, I can't believe no one was going to give you one . Good on you for sticking up for yourself. I hope you get some answers on Monday .
Things are going a lot better now K is almost back to himself. I'm so glad my mum is here today, the boys need someone other than mummy to entertain them! My mum bought them some squirter bottles from a $2 shop the other day and they have had a ball running around outside squirting everything! It's been so hot in Melbourne, so it's the perfect toy. It's amazing how something that cost $1.50 can be so entertaining .
Trish - I'll see if my friend wants to selll them. They are in great condition and she doesn't need them anymore and I'm certainly not using them. Will save you the hassle of ebay.
Glad to hear it worked for you! Am a bit frustrated with Ds sleep today. He had a crapola morning nap, 1hr 20 mins. What is Alana averaging? I dont' know whether I should be happy enough with that or if I should push to get him to sleep longer??
Might try the hammock for his next nap.
My mum is coming today too - and the timing couldn't be better. I'm not big on patience today!!
Willow - If they are a size large and your friend wants to sell them, please let me know! D's nap sounds pretty good to me! Alana is all over the shop with her naps and I've given up stressing about it. Her first nap of the day is usually about 50 minutes, I'm pretty sure it's because she's still hungry after sleeping all night. Her second nap is usually her longest, but can range anywhere from an hour and 20 minutes to 3 hours. Her naps tend to get shorter (and harder!) after that. I just go with the flow these days and don't try to resettle her if she wakes up (it's pretty much impossible anyway). Good luck with trying the hammock again!
K is still sick, the rash is every where now & she pretty much just screams all day & night. Dr said to keep giving her panadol till the screaming settles down.
She's in pain some where we just don't know where. She's off the AB's as they really upset her tummy.
So unfortunately we all just have to ride it out.
Dr said the rash is viral & it's just her body's way of tiring to rid itself of the virus which is good.
Mo - I am sorry to hear that Dakota is still not well. I only hope that things turn around for you soon ... I am sure you are all starting to feel drained and its always upsetting to see your kids out of sorts and you are helpless. Just remember you are doing the right things by taking her to the doctor, giving her panadol for pain and the ab's which hopefully help soon!
Trish - I am glad things have picked up for you and yay for your mum popping by to help out ... the water bottles sound like a hit. She did good!
Celtic - I am glad you have a scan Monday, the waiting game must be getting a bit tiresome for you. Good luck and I really hope you get happy news from it! Has the bleeding settled down?
to everyone else.
I am off to bed. In a bit of pain tonight, lower back and hips are killing me. Also getting really breathless from doing hardly anything. Bubs has been a bit quiet this afternoon, so will keep an eye on that. Maybe he is just a bit tired and worn out from the heat like his mummy!
Mo - poor Kodi. I hope she gets better soon. Trish - need to remember the water bottles. The weather is not too hot up here yet, but will only be a matter of time before it gets hot and humid. Kaz - how are you feeling today? Celtic - I can't believe that a town the size of Bathurst wil have both ultrasound labs unavailable. Where is everyone suppossed to go in the meantime? Hope you get some definitive answers on Monday.
L is doing a lot better. The hives and the swelling has gone down and now he is just a bit itchy. Covering him head to toe in insect repellent and long sleeve clothes overnight.
. It really worked last night! She slept for 7.5 hours, had a feed and went back to sleep until 8:30am!
