Yiiiikes girls, I think that we need a hey. Bella slept fairly well again last night, but in saying that, she was up until 9pm - she is usually down by 6.30pm and sirs pretty much every 20 minutes.
MM - mwaw, if it's any consolation, my df is the biggest jacka$$ going around. Did his usual today, got up with a sore back and can't help with bella - today is his only day off
take care all. off to wash some nappies while missy is having a quick kip.
Hello everyone, sorry to not have been posting very much - it's been pretty busy here in HK and I can't always get on the computer for long! Matthew's two bottom teeth are through and visible but he's still drooling and seems to be more bothered now than when they were coming up. Not sure if this means that others are on the way but I've started him on teething rusks and teething biscuits that we bought at a supermarket here. I was going to hold off until he was 6 months to start him on solids, as directed by the early childhood nurse but given the gusto with which Matthew is chewing on the rusks, think we will be letting him try solids this week. He's 5 and a half months so think it should be all right.
We took Matthew to HK Disneyland on Friday and despite being too young for pretty well everything there, he did enjoy the big parade and the fireworks at the end of the day. Grizzled a lot and had a good scream when mobbed by about 20 Chinese women all trying to get him to smile. A common occurrence here :P
Glad to know everyone seems to be dealing with the same grizzles and whinginess - it will get better, won't it?
I think it's the age Kerry. Maybe it's the teething and frustration of not being able to get around with the ease they want. Ashton seems to get really frustrated when he gets stuck or whatever and will chuck a tantrum. Same goes if I don't give him something I am eating or drinking if it's not appropriate (like a crunchie shake from Wendys lol)
Happy Birthday, Mel!! Hope you have a great day! Regardless of Dave. Who sounds like he's being a total nong. We say poo to him! Hope karma bites him on the bottom. Enjoy some cake today and a drinkie tonight - you deserve it. And the crunchie shake sounds YUM.
Suzie, I'm glad Bella is sleeping better. Doesn't sound like she needs to be swaddled any more. Well done!
Erin, Matthew was well and truly too big for his bassinet by about 3 months, he kept getting free of his muslin swaddle and hitting the sides with his arms. We've been co-sleeping since I moved him out of the bassinet, but I put him in his cot for daytime sleeps (not while we're in HK though). How's Emily going in the cot?
All is nice and quiet here. Had a terrible time trying to get Matthew to sleep last night, for the second night in a row, with lots of screaming which is not much fun in an apartment on the 12th floor! But he sleeps most of the night through and is asleep again now, so I mustn't grumble. We went out yesterday afternoon, HK is soooo noisy. We stopped in at McDonalds and there was a children's party taking place - the staff member in charge had a headset microphone and was revving the kids up to earbleed volume. I would have liked to have garotted her with her headset!
HI everyone, sorry i have not been on for ages.
I think every time i post i apologise LOL.
I'm so busy with the kids that i just dont get a chance, plus my internet/computer has been crap but its all sorted out now
Nathan is going well, crawling and has one tooth. No full on solids yet we are doing BLW so we will wait a good few months yet. I think around 11 months ish.
Wow having 2 babies is hard work, they refise to sleep at the same time hey, and i am exhausted Nathan is still having 3-5 breastfeeds during the night 0 we co sleep so it makes it a bit easier though. But i have not slept a good night sleep for 7 months!!! HELP!!!!
Is anyone NOT immunising? I am questioning it at the moment, i dont think we are going to.
was wondering why i hadn't had any updates...duh a new thread!!! i'm giving up trying to do personals for everyone all the time, i will just do a few each time.
jen i was wondering where you were!! hope you get some more sleep. Don't say that about the two kids, we're thinking of TTC number 2 in four months time!! Yikes. Maybe we should wait a bit longer...
liberty had her needles today and did great. she just screamed in her sleep before, hope she's not having a nightmare about them.
Aside from that in the last few weeks she's been whinging heaps and so she's being handed back to me all the time and i'm not having much computer/me time.
yay my fluffy mail showed up. one lot was super awesome condition - never been worn. 2 abby gros and a nappylicious for $30 including express post!! WOW!! The other was not in flash condition but a good chance to try out chloes toes and twinkle-lily fitted. The lady gave me back my postage money as it was supposed to be sent express post and she didn't post it for 2 weeks because she forgot about it and then she only sent it normal - she offered to refund it and when i saw the condition of the nappies I accepted the offer!!
mel sending u lots of big hugs. it must be so, so hard for you to handle 3 by yourself. i find it hard enough to organise one baby let alone 3 children. i hope your days get better really soon!
Packing is going very very slowly, we move on Monday. wait g2g baby awake.
Kerry thanks for the birthday wish! I didn't even see the last 2 posts on page 1... DOH!
Gee sounds like a MacDonalds I don't wanna be at. Not overly fond of the place TBH Prefer subway lol That is great that Matthew is sleeping through! Gee can you get him to phone Ash and teach him!
Mumma22 I am so jealous!! I wanna be in HK lol I wanna go to DL... I WANT I WANT I WANT! hehe They love white babies over there. Especially blonde ones! And ones that smile lol Glad your having a good time!
Sorry about whinging about Dave. Sometimes I just don't know who to whinge too, all my friends are probably sick of hearing it, my mum just rants and it annoys me, and I am one who can't bottle it up... drives me up the wall! Tonight he has spent it txting me crap, saying he is taking me to court and i am an evil person because i wont let him in my house after the aggression he showed the other day PFT to him. Can't wait to move outta here. Gonna talk to the boys dad about moving to Vic so fingers crossed!
Ashton is being a cranky pants! Today he fed fed fed fed and fed. He isn't well either which isn't helping but I need to pump a bottle!! I have swimming tomorrow and am stressing out cos I accidentally left the milk I pumped... a WHOLE BOTTLES worth, on the table this morning and went out! Needless to say when I discovered it tonight it had been out for about 8 hours What a waste!!
I was wonder why I had seen any posts... oops new thread.
Hope everyone is well, from what I can see men, sleep & whinging has been testing you all lately it's kind of a sucky time this but it will get easier soon
Madeleine too has been complaining all day long, its driving me bonkers, her problem is more wanting to be held all the time, but we are renovating the house so really can't. She starts childcare in 3 mths, so that will be interesting.
Madeleine had her follow up at the doctors for her cough & he told me nothing could be done, so I got a second opinion from my CHN & well lets say shes so much better now, although whilst treating her I had to hold her upside down by her hip & bang at her ribs... freaked me right out.
Lauren, how great I would definately say have them close together. There is 9yrs diff between my two and that's nice but when they are older they will be completely diff. I wish I could have had them closer but I'm trying to convince DH to rush in a 3rd so I don't have 2 only children if you know what I mean.
Jo, I gave up the zantac with madeleine at 4.5mths, I found she wasn't screaming in pain anymore so thought I would stop & she has been fine since.
Missy, Sorry to hear, being a single mum is so hard I see my mum go through it with the girls & I think you are so strong to do what you do.
Hi girls, sorry long time no post this kinder year is going to kill me!!!! I am tired by the start of the week by the end of the week just shoot me. Today DH got home late, and then was going out to do some work......I just burst into tears, needless to say he decided maybe staying in was a good idea. I desperatly need some me time, some family time away, someone to come and stay here... I don't know, something different.
AND TEA TONIGHT IS NOTHING , NO_ONE KNOWS THIS YET!!! GUESS THAT'S WHY TAKEAWAY WAS INVENTED.
Sue, sorry you are having such a hard time. A support group sounds like a great idea, maybe you have to make the time. I find that I waste a lot of time, I think I need to sit an write a plan for my day, at the moment it feels like I am wasteing my life. I hope it does'nt feel like that when my number is up???? Th edays are flying by and I get nothing acheived, welll a bit older, that's it. Not a great feeling. I am still wrapping Poppy, if I don't she flings her arms arou8nd and gets really upset, when I wrap her she smiles and goes straight to sleep, not sure how long I should do it for though.
Kerry, happy that you are having a good time. Must be really nice to have that support from your mum.
Lauren, TTC when you decided you would, I'm not sure there is a perfect time.
Mummatwo, it is so hard to get on here, sometimes I wonder if I should take a break and try to catch up on my life!!! Whatever that means.... I find it stresses me out when I get on here, cause there are so many places I want to go and people who I really should catch up with, but i rarely seem to get there now, gee I hope they understand!!!
Missymoo, tough gig...Men!!!! Hopefully you raise your boys to be more considerate, I am trying to get Gabe used to being hen pecked now not that he has much of a chance with all sisters.
Hi to everyone who I missed< ithink I'II take Laurens approach.
MMMMWWWAAAHHH Luv ya all though
