[Patooties]

Hi everyone
just wanted to pop in quickly and say hi, and let you know i've been thinking about you all, just haven't had time to log on.
Will have to read back some time and catch up on everyone's goss.
Happy Birthday to Clare!!!! I hope you're having a lovely day.
My littlest princess is 8 months old today!!!!!! She's growing up so fast. Did the poo from hell this morning - just as i was ready to head out of the door for the school run. she needed a bath and the high chair needed one too.
anyway, catch up with you all later.

[AnyDream]

to Clare - hope you have a lovely day !

LOL Jazmum about the megapoo just before the school run - we've had a few of those but I haven't yet had to wash the high chair

Another hellish night here, I dared to dream we had turned a corner because E hadn't got up at 11, but then she started at 1.00am and continued until 4.30 (!) She got up again at 5.30 for another hour (!) OMG I think it is safe to say I have exhausted my bag of tricks, I'm right out there in "nothing I do is working" land. I'm gonna slap the first MACH nurse who tells me to pat my baby to sleep at the sleep seminar. On the upside I have discovered that i have extraordinarily good night vision after I've been awake for 3 hours, I reckon I could spot a Taliban ambush at 3 kms with these peepers. :P

Just a quick one from me - so much to catch up on - we went away for a few days and only got back last night.

Marydean, I really feel for you hun and I wish there was something I could do to help you out. Maybe now that school has gone back you can get some day sleeps in while Miss Betty is sleeping, seeing as how she sleeps good during the day? Bugger the housework - you aren't any good to anyone while you are like this so you need to just let it go for a day or two and try to catch up before you completely burn out.

Everyone is fine here - it finally rained so sowing is underway now and A is now the poster child for velcro babies. If his two top teeth would just come through he would be fine. I have never seen gums so big and red and swollen before - the other kids were never like this. So sleep in this house is up ****ter's ditch LOL.

Sherie, Velcro baby = clingy?? Teeth, just hatch already!

[Trillian]

Yup MD - velcro = clingy. I can hardly do anything during the day without him being right behind me either crying, wanting to be picked up, or if I stand still for long enough he grabs hold of my legs and pulls himself up so I can pick him up.

Glad to know you haven't lost your sense of humour even though you're so sleep deprived! When does DH get back? Sorry the doctor couldn't get you straight into QE2, seems silly to have such strict rules for Canberra residents when us NSW'ers can get in so much easier!

Sherie - K goes through stages of clinginess. When she's just woken up, I can't even go to the toilet without her crying, she's right after about 15 minutes but I'm not looking forward to full time clinginess! Yay for the rain!

hi lovelies
just a quick one from me, been busy busy busy last few days with relatives from sydney here.
lewis has been a nightmare for a few days and then last night i noticed he has two new teeth up the top. not the front 2 teeth but the ones next to them. poor little man has been so clingy and last night would basically only sleep with my friggen nipple in his mouth! he would be fully asleep snoring and so i would gently try to remove the nipple and sneak back to watching big brother and he would start screaming! ggrrr nightmare
hope everyone is having a good day xoxo

[*noni*e*]

hi everyone just popping on quickly to send **calm sleepy vibes** to all those bubs who sound like they need it atm!!!

[Artechim]

Noni, thank you so much for the sleepy vibes, Will slept from 11pm until 4.30am! It is the longest sleep we have had for 4 months! I hope I didn't steal them all though and there was some left over for the other bubs.

MD, how was your night? Hope Noni's sleepy vibes found their way to you too.

Gracie, we have had the nipple in mouth all night a couple of times. It is very uncomfortable. W did it when he was getting a tooth, hope he settles down again soon for you.

Sherie, sending A some toothy vibes

JaZmum, good to see you. 8 months already, I can't believe it! I remember very clearly logging in each morning waiting to see if anyone had popped overnight.

Leemar, hope everyone at your house is feeling better

Renee, how is everything going?

Every morning when we get out of bed W walks me over to his little lawnmower, so we get it out and I help him push it across the room a couple of times, then he dumps it and we go down the hall to check if the bath is still there. It is so cute.

This morning he can stand for at least 10 seconds completely unassisted.

[Cally]

Way to go Will!!!

[AnyDream]

Wow Noni's sleepy vibes worked alright, E only got up twice ! 2nd time a bit longer but then I just left her to it. I soooooo hope we have turned a corner and this wasn't just a once-off. BBL to tell you what I did different

Go Will go Will go Will

Speaking of Noni, how are you hun? We haven't heard very much from you the last few days, I hope you are ok?
