Hi Girls! and BIG hello to Leigh and Ruby!! welcome welcome welcome!!!

Hey Cally, great to hear that you had a great time at QE2. it was so funny as we were talking last week about what sleep schools were about in melbourne and now i know! lol!

MD: you made my heart skip a beat back there...bun in the oven...jeez!!! LOL!! now THAT would be an intense proposition!!
re the sleep seminar, i went to the MACH run one out in tuggers and it was pretty ok. i mean they teach the same routine as tweddle down here. it worked with leila, but we were also thinking about going to the QE2 one in canberra for awhile as well. i cant believe that they dont want babies there!! WTF?!! what's the point in that? Leila came along to the MACH sleep seminar and it was good because i was able to put her to sleep while i was there and get some feedback, canberra can be the pits sometimes! are there any private consultants who can come to your place? i know there are in sydney and melbourne, surely with the situation as it is in canberra someone somewhere has a similar service. i have heard they are fantastic.

Arte: the ergo is pretty comfy, however, i reckon that if you are going to be doing the big hikes it might be worth going the whole hog and getting one of those baby backpack things. my friend is pretty avid in the hiking and they use it with their bub...that said, i have found the ergo really easy to use and it would take up much less space!

Charli: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! woo hooo!!!!

Noni: fingers and toes crossed in your general direction!!!

sorry this one is pretty short as i am procrastinating at work and the guilt is setting in...will write tonight!!

Noni, do you have a toy library there? There are a couple around here and you hire a toy for a week or two. I haven't made it there yet but am planning to go this week because W is bored with his toys now too.

Pregpan, W is the same with the sitting - since he started he refuses to lay down. I think that is why he is no where near crawling.

Cas, thanks, I think we will look into getting a pack. There seems to be a lot to carry, the packs have bags under the bub. Otherwise I will have to carry too much (I am too clumsy to safely carry W with trip hazards around lol). Also from the limited pics of the ergo I have seen they don't have much of a view? He is a nosey little person.

Cally, thanks heaps for that, I am going to copy your post and keep it for reference. I think that we will try to get him back in to his cot next time we move (new house is supposed to be ready in 5 weeks but I am not holding my breath)

Trillian, I have found a shop with all the buzzy bee stuff. It even has a coin operated buzzy bee ride out the front.

Leemar, hope J is feeling better now

Well, it turns out if you have top and bottom teeth you can grind them. It is the worst noise ever.

Got to go, bed time (hopefully)

Noni, yeah, keen to hear about your house, hun, still got fingies and toesies crossed. We're doing two small meals a day, one midmorning which resembles breakfast, and one before her bath in the evening. This suits us for now and I guess we'll add lunch in later down the track when she's at FDC and wanting something while she's there.

Pregpan, farout you are one busy mama, I'm practically having a meltdown (on your behalf) just thinking about it all!

Clare, they don't have babies at the MACH sleep clinic because the age range goes from 6 mths to 3 yrs, and if you let the 6 mth babies come then you have to let the toddlers come and apparently they run riot and no one gets any value out of it. So I kind of understand why. They've squeezed me into one at the start of May cos that's one of the few days DH will be here to mind E while I go along . BTW, I just think the name Tweddle is Hil-a-rious - straight out of a D!ckens novel, I can't believe it's a name that's supposed to be taken seriously!

Sherie it's another reason I love autumn the best - I love all the clothes in the shops right now! Not that I've taken myself out shopping for a while.

Arte, the ergo range has a backpack that clips onto the sling - not sure if that helps? The buzzybee shop sounds excellent, I don't really know what you are talking about (is it a clothing brand) but I do love the buzzybees and ladybirds!

MD - my sister was booked into a sleep seminar at the end of the month but got into the day stay at Lanyon tomorrow because of a cancellation. Hopefully her 4 week old will sleep during the day after that. We didn't have to go to any sleep seminars before QE2 as they aren't offered in country areas. The mums with little bubs at QE2 all were from country areas, those from Canberra with little ones that didn't sleep didn't seem to make it there until they were 4 months old, presumably because they have had to go through all the different seminars.

Happy birthday Charli!!

K has a new trick - she lunges towards a wedding photo of me with her hands out like she wants to cuddle!! I'd love to see it, but I don't think it works if I'm standing there.

Noni - good luck with the house.

Pregpan - gosh you are a busy thing!!

I am so confused about high chairs!! There are so many options.

[*noni*e*]

anyone else having night leaking issues?? i just cant seem to get on top of it.. everytime i go and get her from her cot she is wet on the sides of her pjs any ideas?? i think she would sleep longer if she wasnt so wet...
i saw in another thread that bamboo nappies (cloth ones) are really good for overnight do u think i should try one???? they are really expensive! does anyone have any experience with them?

[Leemar]

Hi Girls,

Well I just lost my post... WTF

Noni- Sorry I can not help with cloth nappies.. But I use to have a problem with Olivia
Leaking though.. I went up in a size and that seemed to help. When do you find out about the house?
Tamara- Happy Birthday and I hope you had a wonderful day
Art- Olivia still dosent have any teeth..
Cally- Re High Chairs I love the ones with wheels and that recline back. I have a prima pappa and it was money well spent.. Wow on K's New Trick..

Xavier is back to normal now however my poor Jordy now has temps.. I think whatever X had now Jordy might have. He did a poo on sat night but I am still waiting for more...
Olivia is now going from a sitting position to a crawl position.. Although she only does it when there is something she wants.. hahaahahahaha.

Hello to all and I am off to bed. Sweet Dreams

[Isadora]
