Nessa.. py tom!
Hmm think i might have an early night.
Good night all.
girls, i am ok, just busy with holidays, my specialist scan is on thursday, so i will find out then what is going on.
Opps chrissy- we got the days wrong.
OMG i got up so early this morning. eeekkkk.
Well Last night Dh worked til 10pm and i managed to get Annika down to sleep first go!!! Well what happens when he gets home?? She wakes up and it take 2 hrs to get her back to sleep again and she would only go to sleep if Dh was laying on the floor of her bedroom , wouldnt let me!! So again he eneed up falling asleep on the floor again. Oh dear dont want to get her into this habbit.
29hrs til flavour finding!!
Ness- at least its your Dh that is stuck in the habit not you! You get to sleep in your own bed while the poor thing is on the floor. I guess when hes had enough of it he'll get tough and use that rapid return technique.
So Ness has her scan Wed, Chrissy Thurs, and Kell Fri. Thats right isn't it?
Meg- nope not into tennis, enjoyed watching when Pat Rafter used to play ;) but thats bout it. You planning to go to any games?
Bloody garbage truck woke me at 6:30 this morn so now I have headache, hate being woken before Ash gets up cause I hate wasted sleep time, too precious!
Ness.. maybe close her door when he comes home and tell him he needs to be quiet? Yeh dont let him get into a habit of sleeping on the floor while she falls asleep. Thats what that family on tiny tearaways' issue was. Their daughter would only go to sleep if they were laying on the floor next to them. Doing well though.
Shell.. yep thats right. Oh i so know what you mean! I woke about 6am too and Jesse hadnt. I just lay in bed but couldnt go back to sleep. Hate when that happens!!
Chrissy.. everything will be fine hun, just like miss Vy.
Well yesterday and today have been freezing! Typical Sydney weather for you! Whats the bet i end up with a cold because of this stupid weather!!
A friend on the forum who goes to the same Ultrasound clinic i am messaged me saying they now do the DVD! So im gonna ask when i get there if they can do one for me at this scan or is it just the later one. I hope so, so then i can bring the dvd home and study it like i did with Jesses! hehe.
Well i must have the house from hell then! Aaron sits next to millana until she falls asleep and i do the same with ruby.Then millana hopes into bed with us! Sometimes i dont really care unless they are in bed asleep and no screaming and tantrums. And ruby gets 1 bottle sometime in the night. Oh la la..
glad scan went ok Belle
good luck thursday Chrissy :)
well I think I may have figured out our sleeping issues
after waking at 3am yesterday and screaming the place down Jack and I ended up on futon where he slept till 8.30am then Jack didn't have a nap all day *OMG* nah he was in good mood nealry fell asleep eating tea so we grabbed him gave him bath and bottle but he stayed awake till 7.45pm YAY!! not he woke at 8.25pm we went in patted him etc, but 25min later we borught him out he was happy having cuddles and another bottle finally at 10pm jase went to bed so Jack followed him LOL
anyway he went to sleep pretty much straight away, so put him in cot he woke up :( but I said no mummy isn't going to pick you up lay down put your head down, which he did and I stood there for 2min then went to door he started again I said no Jack sleep time, he let out a few cries but was out to it in 5min or less woo!!! then same thing at 11.30pm but I went in said lay down and he did and closed his eyes and slept thru till 8.30am we left his green lamp on last night so maybe his room is too dark after being at agnes where we leave a lamp on at night *dunno*
Hmm ok i just wanna say i was only offering advice on what i saw worked for some on a tv show called Tiny Tearaways to get their child to stay in bed. Its your choice how you raise your kids.
Caddie- honey do what ever you feel is best for you. I too sometimes figure any sleep is better then no sleep!!!!!
well i have done the grocery shopping today, and the house work is already done. and now i am making a salad. I have no idea whats gotten into me atm. Clean house. Cooked meals, two week meal plan, planned activities for the kids???
ETA- 24hrs til flavour finding
Well Eithan still doesnt sleep through and he gets given a bottle or 2. Whatever works.
Thanks for your thoughts, at this stage I am not ready to talk but I can let you all know that plans are being put in place to help make things better. Today is a good day.
Off to have a sleep while Eithan is asleep.
Love
Helen :hugs: hun, we're here when you need us.
Thats cool kell,just sometimes i feel like a failure...I know you were only helping.lol.
I dont watch those shows because i just dont want to know what else im doing wrong.
Sometimes friends(not bb) not intentionally can make you feel like you are doing something wrong when raising kids. Like if millana throws a tanty.I feel they think its my fault because obviously i cant control my kids. I just feel like saying well your kids aint perfect...Ok thats my little rant and sook.
Helen hey glad to see you checking in! Hope all picks up soon.
Nelle where are you? Your my sunshine in the darkness with your comedy!
Caddie.. yeh it was just an option for Nessa who is just trying to get Annika to stay in bed.. something different to try as nothing else is working. Doesnt mean its gonna work for everyone and doesnt mean anyone is a failure because they dont choose that method. If only every child was the same or came with a manual then things might be easier. Please dont take anything like that to heart, whether its me or anyone else who says it. Because however you choose to raise your children is the correct way, as its your choice. My intensions werent to upset anyone or make them feel bad honestly. I was just trying to help Nessa is all. Whether she uses the advice or not is totally up to her, but as a friend i felt i should offer what i could (as i would hope any friend of mine would do for me if i needed help). I certainly dont think Jesse is perfect when it comes to behaviour. He definately has his moments as does every child. I just like to watch those shows for the advice and different options you can use if you need to use any, or want to use any.
Anyways.. hmm wonder if we're gonna get to page 14!
Caddie- You are definately not a failure! It is hard sometimes isn't it? I guess we all parent in different ways and just have to do whatever suits our own situations are that time.
HelenP- Glad to hear you are working on things, hope it all falls in to place quickly, just take each day at a time.
Kell- I got all my u/s on DVD, at the place I went to they did charge extra $10 for the first one and then extra $20 at the 19 week scan but worth having. Let the u/s person know at the start you want to know the sex if they can tell you even if its not 100% they could tell you what % its looking like.
Just had mums group over, gets quite hectic now that they're all walking/ running. I think back to when we used to lie them in a circle on there tummys and they wouldn't move, now look at them!
Shell.. oh i sometimes long for those times where they just lay still for 5 minutes! oh gee theyre making some nice money on those dvds hey! The place i had it done with jesse only charged you $5, which wouldve been the cost of the dvd. But i will definately get them for sure if i can. I am so glad i have Jesses, definately something really nice to keep. I will thanks! Hopefully i get someone experienced. Will just be strange i think even so after having Jesse to see thats theres actually something living in my tummy.. quite bizarre when you really think about it :)
Hiya,
Just got home from work... Not too bad. J had a great day with his grandma.
It seems like a lot of the kiddies are going through sleep probs atm. Methinks it is something to do with their age. J is still waking up bawling in the morning, but I am being a bit like you rach, I say to him no more crying, lie back down. (as he laughs as soon as I go in there) then make him calm down completely before I get him up.
We are all trying our best, and doing what we have to do to get the, off to sleep at night. No one is a failure, we just choose to do things differently.
Shell - You really need to update your AV. :P
Chrissy - I would imagine it would be really hectic your way during the school hols.
HelenP - I hope everything is alright.
Ness - I will be on the edge of my seat TOMORROW! (not today)
