what a bummer noni - have you got some steps at your place?
lol only out the front where everyone could see me haha... idk why i didnt just come home i am so starving now after going that i am stuffing my face anyway coz i am so hungry ww isnt looking good this week either :(
Very quiet in here this morning.
Well we had a good night. Fed at 7:30 (fell asleep on me so that was easy!), then at 1:45 then 7:15! And then she was only awake an hour before a 2.5 hour nap, and she's just gone down for another sleep after only lasting a bit over an hour awake! Sounds like she's recovering from a growth spurt, so things could be looking up (but I'm not going to hold my breath!!)
Noni - Oh, I hate it when the timetable changes, what a bummer that you missed out on your class.
Renee - that is good that you're getting a free can.
Cally - that's great. What time do you go to bed at night? Hannah usually goes down between 7:30 and 8:30 too - and wakes about the same time as Katie. My problem is i don't go to bed until about 11, and then i'm tired the next day. Nights are the only time i get to myself though.
Cally I was just thinking last night in the shower how it's probably a growth spurt with E too - they get much tireder than usual (ie cranky, whingey) but don't sleep as well, they are hungrier, but often fuss about food (maybe goes with the tiredness). It's the same with older kids and it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. But you probably already know this?
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY everyone - get some Pav into ya! Who's doing something 'stralian today...we're having lamb roast for tea and H has been making miniature flags on toothpicks for us to wave LOL. Never ceases to amaze me!
Ok, wingey growth spurt girl's just woken up, gotta go.
I am trying to be in bed about 9, read for a little bit. Sometimes the light doesn't get turned off until 10. I would like to have more time to myself (or watch some tennis this week), but at the moment, sleep is still a priority so it's early nights.
hey all
little miss is still sick :( was gonna take her to the dr today but ofc they are closed... went to the chemist and got some infants friend hoping that will help settle her tummy.. think she has some kinda tummy bug, shes still not drinking much and vomiting alot of it, i'm not game to give her any solids and the vomit is still very chunky at times sorry for the tmi... has anyone got any ideas on things i can do to help her? should i be giving her water? theres no temp though and at times of the day she is still quite happy and smiley so thats something hope it passes soon!!!
md - i am going to an australia day bbq at my mums lol thats pretty australian am sure they will have lam on the bbq lol not that i eat it haha.. pavlova actually makes me a bit sick!! have a slight egg intolerance, meaning i only have a prob if i have too much and pav certainly does it to me!!
cally - congrats on the great night!!! yeah damn timetable i'm armed with a new one and ready for next week though!!
Happy Aus day ladies! Who's planning on banging a few snaggers and prawns on the barbie!? hehe.
Oh my goodness, what a mission of a morning! Silly me decided to finally whip out the finger paints and attempt to do Maddie's hand/feet prints onto a small canvas. Well...we got paint EVERYWHERE, all through her hair, all up her belly haha it was quite funny and she was loving it. Her hair has a blue tinge to it now, great! :D Anyway I leant my lesson, never again! Next time I'll just pay for the twinkle toes people.
Noni - You could try water, to stop her from getting dehydrated. Otherwise, if she doesnt improve definately go to the doc.
Marydean - We were planning on meeting up with some other young couples with their bubs for an Aus day bbq, but seeing as I am sick I would feed bad passing it on to the babies. So we are unfortunately laying low. :(
Jazmum - Same with me and the late nights, my own fault!
Cally - Glad that you had a good night!
Renee - Hmm yeah dont know if I'd be happy with that response either, but at least they are replacing the tin. We have been keeping an eye open when we use the S26.
happy Australia day ladies!!
i got my copy of the book 'the science of parenting' in the mail yesterday so i'm looking forward to reading it. really hot here again today. have a lovely day everyone.
noni - poor little Asha :( I hope she gets better soon. Maybe try her on some boiled water, especially if she is not keeping her milk down. If she is still happy and smiling though, that is a good sign.
hayley - hope you get better soon too.
hi gracie - enjoy reading your book :)
md - we're going to my sisters engagement party tonight, so today has been spent decorating the hall. We're hoping to celebrate it on Monday with some prawns and fish 'n' chips by the sea :) Will be trying to catch the top 5 in Triple J's hottest 100 though.
hello ladies and bubs! just popping in quickly to wish everyone a Happy Australia Day!
sorry no personals. have read and what i've read have flown straight back out. that's what happens when i try to cram a couple of threads worth of post. :rolleyes:
no plans today. still trying to go purely breast feeding but have not been very successful. saw lc last night and she had some suggestions which might prove useful but...we'll see. spending the day trying to build the milk supply. :(
was planning on going to the gov's residence for their open day picnic but because the car's a/c is on the blink, will forgo that plan and just stay home lazy.
i don't know about you ladies, but it seems to me that the house is so much messier when dp is home. and it seems so much harder to keep to a routine. :cry: i am always wishing he was home more but at the same time....*sigh
Oh no ladies, we have another thumb sucker on the loose! hehe :) Madeline has always loved her dummy, but the past couple of days she has been slipping in the thumb big time and now prefers it to her dummy. Oh no what can I do!? Its absolutely adorable to watch, but I keep pulling it out and replacing with the dummy, dont want a repeat of my sister who thumb sucked till the age of 12! Who else was it that has a thumb sucker, i've forgotten?
Good luck Fianne, hope your efforts today pay off soon :hug:
Noni, let us know how Asha's going, poor lil chicken.
Hayley LOL at blue paint! There's plenty of that ahead :)
Jazmum, enjoy your trip to the seaside, wish I could come with you and have a paddle! I KWYM about staying up late for 'me' time. Sometimes bed is good too.
Gracie let us know what you think when you've read it.
ETA Hayley - E is a compulsive sucker of anything she can cram in LOL - thumb, fingers, toy, own clothes, others clothes, bedsheets, suck suck slurp slurp LOL.
will do md- i know you love books!! i am a closet book worm too. i was thinking today actually- all my fav hobbies involve not leaving home- reading, sleeping, eating, watching tv, gardening, drinking wine. i am such a little home body! the only hobby that makes me leave the house is boating!!! oh and shopping!!
Asha is doing much better this avo ive been giving her infants friend before her feeds and shes been drinking more and keeping it down!! weve had the odd small spew here and there but we always have that shes much happier!! we went to the bbq and she was full on laughing at me at one point when i was playing with her n she let everyone have nice long cuddles yay so glad i found something that can help her i hate seeing her sick or in pain!!!
OMG fianne! i know EXACTLY what you mean about dp and the mess and yet he had the hide yesterday to ask me where i was going to put my jacket when i took it off!!! i spent like 5 hours cleaning before the pest man came and it took about 2 days for him to undo my work yet he gets annoyed at me when i dnt want to jump up and clean when he decides he is ready grrrrrr infact i am just drinking a sugarless v atm so i can clean the place while hes not here.. he'll mess it up when he gets home with his friends in toe (his working with friends today) but i cant clean with him here!!
md - Asha is the same anything she can get in!!!
Haley, W has started thumb sucking. He still chews everything, but over the last week has developed a definite preference for his thumb for his sucking requirements. I am not sure what to do, I was pulling it out but it goes straight back in. He doesn't have a dummy to replace it and I feel mean pulling it out all the time. It is very cute though, cuddling into his dads shoulder sucking his thumb lol. I guess i should decide on something and stick to it.
Gracie, I am a homebody too. I always put off everything that requires actually leaving the house.
Noni, I think at our house I am the mess maker and my DH is the one getting pi$$ed off that I ruin all his cleaning
Fianne, good luck with exclusive BF, hope it works out for you.
JaZmum, have fun at the party. H is a clever girl nearly crawling! They are turning into big babies so fast.
Cally, I hope K was having a growth spurt and that your sleeping starts to improve now. W just had one I think - we had a nasty sleep week, then he slept through and had two 3 hour naps the next day.
MD - I did it! The final frontier - I BF in front of male co-workers! I went to a farewell dinner for one of the girls I worked with and stayed late with the last few stragglers. I see him and his girlfriend socially, I was rather worried that W would pull off and they would cop an eyeful but we managed o.k.
Bath time over, better go
Hi Ladies,
I know its a bit late but Happy Australia Day.
Sorry I have been MIA and missed a lot of posts but All 4 of my babies have been sick. The 4th being DH.
Noni- I hope Asha if better soon.
Well I hope all our babies sleep well tonight and give all the mummas lost of sleep.
Good night for now.
leanne-did your dh enjoy the bdo? it's the first year we haven't gone to it, and i was a bit upset cos last night bp's brother rang up from sydney bdo while rage against the machine were playing so dp could hear it........but dp said that ds was better than hearing any band....it is hard to make the adjustment to being *adults* though isn't it?
