Babies Born September 2006 #36

GOOD MORNING!!

OHH! Happy 6 Months Ash pash for yesterday!!!!

Nelle.. wow that sounds fun.

Jodi.. oh thats great Nina is getting back into a sleepy baby!!! Perhaps shes starting to send vibes to Jess as he slept through last night from 7.30pm until 6am!!!! WOAH! Without his usual wake up cry and go straight back to sleep when i give him his dummy! I hope he keeps that up. His second tooth is just popping up so hopefully thats all that was causing the wake ups. But thats great.. GO NINA!

Nessa.. aw how cute! go the lil crab! Jess still only goes backwards and is starting to get really stressed about it! THough last night he was really getting up on his knees, as if he was moving them forward under his body, so dont think it will be long.

Annie, Maz, Rikki, Anna**, AnnaT, Rach, Belle, Caddie, Chrissy, and anyone else ive missed, hope you had a great weekend!

Going up to mum & dads tomorrow until about Friday so will be MIA a bit. Will check in at night on their computer though. Will be nice to have someone i trust (other than DH) to look after Jess!!!!

hi ya girls
had a cud weekend. Spent 4 hours in the emergency department. doctors are stumped to why I am bleeding as I have no pain or clumps (TMI) that have come out and today is day 4. Its not bad, dicoloured urine and about once a day, around half an hour after I have ovary pain that I get bright red about the size of a 50 cent piece. So dont know if IM arthur or mather at the moment. Have to wait until my u/s on thursday. All my pg tests came up positive again so i have to wait and I hate WAITING!!!!
Yes, I make taggie blankets, I'll pm those or (pm me) for those who are interested. Atleast it will help keep my mind of this. Thanks girls
Have to take Wilhelm to school and pick up a cot that a gf is gettign rid of. Thanks for thinking of me and sorry for lack of personal's. Will try and get on a bit later
Bel -thanks for being a shoulder saturday night
xxmaz

:hug: Maz hope it all soughts out soon and you can enjoy being pg

HI everyone I am slack so no personals ;)

well we had a great sunday all the 3 of us did was sleep, eat watch tv or play was so nice not to feel the need to do anything bbut enjoy each other

as for sleeping vibes OMG jack is still asleep it is 8.20am he used to sleep till 8am when he first started sleeping in but lately he has been waking around 6am, well last night I put him in long pants and a warmish t-shirt set for bed, so I think he was just cold when he was waking, so nice to sleep in properly I know I shouldn't complain but I am :lol:

welll I suppose I really should put away the clean clothes while he is still down

Rach! That's it! Mr Poo head bum wee face here was up a couple of times last night (I'm still not sure what hit me...just when I needed some sleep too cos I got up 'early') and woke up much earlier than usual this morning (usually he'd just be stirring now. Or later). But I might need to dress him more warmly...he's in a jumpsuit, but no singlet, so he might have been cold..
Cos he wasn't really hungry, I just ended up feeding him cos I'd done everything else and it worked. Might have to start wrapping his bottom half again for warmth.

Anyway, we're in bed again now, me on the computer, Riv with his giraffe.

Maz, hugs sugar, I really hope there's no complications or troubles and your bub is just moving things around to get themselves really comfy, you know, getting that womb environment just right. Which bodes pretty well for another girl :p

Mm, finding it hard to focus, I'll pop on later to see how you're all going hey. xo

Maz - :grouphug: for you sweetie. I really hope it's nothing serious, and like Rach said, hopefully soon you can start enjoying your pregnancy. How's the m/s going?

rach - that's great that Jack is sleeping in till so late, what time did he go down last night?

kel - they must be talking to each other! Nina slept 6pm till 4.30, when she needed a nappy change, then slept till 7.30. Hopefully the second tooth comes through soon.
Have fun at your parents, you'll have lots of catching up to do when you get back!

how was everyone's weekend?
Nina woke up so happy today, she's been very vocal all morning! I love it when she's in this mood cause I can leave her and clean the house and she doesn't care that I've left.
Went to friends yesterday for a BBQ and they have a 10 month old boy, and it was so cute seeing them playing together. Except when we sat down to eat both babies decided that they wanted mummy's attention! So we were up and down like yoyo's. I have a pic of the 2 of them on my webpage, he's 4 months older but they're around the same size! He's just stocky.
We have other friends moving up from Brissy next month, and they have a boy 2 weeks younger than Nina, whose booked into the same daycare as her too!
AND, a girlfriend of mine's little girl turns 1 this week :o I can't believe where the time has gone. It feels like yesterday we only had these babies!!

Happy 6mths Ashleigh

Maz-Huge hugs, I hope that everything settles down soon.

Love

Nelle- It has been colder last few nights, getting down to 12-13 degrees, I've started putting Ashleigh in a warmer sleeping bag. Maybe just chuck an extra blanket on Ruver before you go to bed.
You must be a great singer if she asked you to sing at her wedding so don't stress. I'm jealous I would love to be able to sing, I always think I should go to singing lessons but too embarrased that they'll tell me I'm a lost cause!

Rach- yay for Jack sleeping longer. I'm lucky with Ashleigh in the fact she will wake for the day around 8am and then plays in her cot a little while while I get bit more rest.

maz- :hug: I'm thinking bout you maz, hopefully its nothing, just one of those things. Couldn't they have organised an u/s earlier to put your mind at rest?

Kell- Enjoy your time with your parents, you'll prolly get a good break cause I'm sure your parents will want to play with Jesse all the time while you relax.

Annie- We looked at about 10 places but there was really just the one we fell in love with, just seems perfect for what we're looking for and our price range.

Jodi- Thats fantastic Nina is sleeping well again, maybe Ashleigh won't be far off, at 7 weeks Ashleigh was easily doing 8 hours night but now its 3.5-4. But I'm working on it.

Nessa- Lol bout the crab crawling, be so cute to see.

Not much planned for me today, might just walk up to the shops grab a few items.
Gotta get my lazy arse into gear.

ETA: Thanks for all the 6 month b'day wishes girls. Can't believe shes already half a year!

Nelle we thought it may have been the cold as we are waking around 4am most morning to pull the wool quilt up so he must be cold too, he was sleeping in boxers and little singlet tops with a muslin over him, but I think long pants and t-shirts may be the way to go, now to go shopping a buy some more :lol:

Jodi jack goes down anywhere from 8-30pm to 9.30pm last night he went down at 9.20pm on wednesday nites we are out till 11pm and he has a nap at darts then comes home has small bottle and drops off no probs :dance:

Shell Jack has :redface: always been a good sleeper it was just those 6am wakes up that I was not liking really killed my day they did, and with the weather getting cooler overnight brrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY 6 MONTHS ASHLEIGH

happy six months for yesterday ash.

huge hugs to you maz. i've been thinking about you. hopefully it is just your body getting prepared and like nelle said, a little girl preparing the room just the way she likes it. i'm sure your mind will be put at rest when you have your us on thursday.

Rach,glad jack slept in longer for you.Do you use a sleeping bag?
Me,swimming lessons with millana,fasting for 3hrs and then cat scan.How fun!!!
Millana is such a turd!!! Woke up this morning at 530am.Was crying,wanting milk and out of bed.I was feeding ruby at the time so aaron obeys her wishes and gets her in the lounge ready to watch tv.I said no way.This has to stop.So he took her back to bed and slept beside her and she didnt wake up until 8pm.A friggin record!!!! Im at a loss as to why she does this,im sure its because we have aloud it.Well no more.I need uniterrupted sleep...

Rach,glad jack slept in longer for you.Do you use a sleeping bag?

ww bought a lightweight one a few weeks back but is still too warm when he goes down at night to use it, but be giving it a go soon, if he likes it then will be getting more especially when we are in agnes

rach - I sometimes think if Nina went to sleep at 9'ish, she'd sleep in till later too, then I would be able to sleep in till 9 or so :D but we've tried to keep her up, but she insists on going to bed at 6! So I think I gotta get used to 7.30 starts to the day. I like my sleep in though.
I've been thinking about the sleeping bag too. Which ones to you girls use? It doesn't get really cold here, it can get down to 12-15 degrees, but I think it's normally 15-20 degrees in winter. I have started dressing Nina in a body suit with short sleeves and long pants though. I think that's why she's sleeping better. Her legs always get cold overnight.

caddie - good luck with your cat scan. And naughty naughty millana! Hopefully she gets out that habit soon cause in winter it'll be mighty cold at 5.30am!

OMG Jack just cracks me up *PMSL* for a kid that doesn't crawl he sure moves heaps LOL, he went from in the middle of lounge to about 2 mtres away under our fish tank stand LOL

Hiya ladies,

Thought we would pop in and say hi, and wish all the Bub's a HAPPY 6 MONTHS!!!!

Wow where has the time gone???

Hope you are all well :)

HAPPY 6 MONTHS PAIGE!!

chrissy - hope all is well with you too.
Rach - they can move can't they! Even when they're not crawling yet.

Got a question for you all: is everyone still using their monitors (for those that have one)? It's just that a girlfriend said yesterday she used hers a couple of times, but she could hear everything her bub was doing, and every time he woke up, which annoyed her, so she stopped using it. They always have the a/c on, so therefore have their brm doors shut. Therefore, can't hear him. She's always said he's slept through since 6 weeks and never wakes up ?!?! (dunno about this one), which got me thinking, she probably can't hear him if he does wake up. We still use our monitor, cause Nina is on the other end of the house, and even with all the doors open, we still wouldn't hear her (or I wouldn't trust myself to hear her while asleep). so...is everyone still using theres?

firstly update web page with pics of where he got oo

Jodi we have a angelcare sound and movement monitor and yes when he is in cot it is on, and the parents unit is on when I am in bed, at Agnes we just use the main unit though this last time I used the parents unit as well

I will continue to use it till next bub come or he goes into a big bed, have actually thought of getting a cheap normal monitor so I can hear him when I hang otu washing etc

happy six months paige! great to see you chrissyt.

yep, still using my monitor at night jodes, don't tend to use it during the day (unless i am going to have a catnap myself :D)

We never had a monitor, so nope ;) Our bedroom's next door to Riv's though, so you can't miss him if he's upset.
He wakes in the night, I'm certain of it, but (apart from last night) he resettles himself. We have his door shut too.
We have friends who have their part of the monitor in the middle of their house, so they aren't disturbed by their daughter's snuffling and singing to herself, but they hear the monitor if she's crying. Pretty clever I thought!

Thanks girls!

Paige is in the room next door to us, but we sleep with the fan on for our own white noise...so I do have the monitor on, except it's turned down really low so I don't hear the snuffles and chortles. If she really want me I will hear her.

It's not on at all during the day, except if I go outside when she is sleeping to mow the lawn etc.

lol at your avatar's immaculate conception chrissyt....

hi guys

had a HUGE weekend and still recovering !!!

just wanted to let you know maz, im thinking about you, actually i have been worried about you all weekend, just sending you a big sloppy one ( hopefully the smell of scotch is long gone) take it easy:hug: :hugs:

Well Ashleigh has had a bad day today, has reverted back to screaming at nap time. Had to just settle her on the boob then the bloody lawn mower guy starts whiper snipping around all the units and she was awake again. Thankfully now she is asleep and all is quiet, for how long I don't know.

Hi ChrissyT great to see you again.

jodi, we never used a monitor cause Ash is right next door to us and I have some 6th sense to her cause whatever noise she makes I wake up, but I sleep thru other noises.
With sleeping bags I have different ones, some thick and some light thin ones. I bought one of e-bay and the others at BigW, Target check out those stores and see whats out.

One good thing this morning, for the first time since starting solids 2 weeks ago Ashleigh actually opened her mouth when I brought the spoon near!

Just popped in to say HELLO!!!

and to annouce that Alexander is sitting up!!! update ticker to show

BBL to reply and read threads.. off to play with my kids !

xoxo

Time for a new thread!!!
