hi there everyone
sherie - you poor thing - that sounds so horrible - i'm glad it's starting to get better for you. Sneaky mummy cleaning A's nail while he was asleep - obviously what it needed to help it get better.
clare - great that you are feeling much better. lol at the walrus. Hannah is the same at the moment. I was standing at Jess's school assembly this morning, and holding hannah facing away from me. Zoe alerted me to the snot bubble that H was blowing out of her nose
pregpan - you're such a busy mummy - and doing such a wonderful job with your little man. I take my hat off to you. Hannah has quite alot of colds too, and a couple of times i've thought that my breastmilk hasn't been doing it's job. I think the germs of today are just too powerful! Hopefully your dh can stay home an extra night for you.
arte- what mischief was W up too??
I had a look on MD's facebook, and she says she's wanting the snot monster to go away so she can get some sleep. So i'm assuming that E's not well and keeping her awake.
hugs to you Md.
Hi Jaz, yes, I was a bit norti doing it, I also cut his fingernails at the same time cause he never sits still otherwise LOL. LMAO at Hannah having a snot bubble at assembly. So you're all settled back into the school routine after the holidays? I will miss the sleepins LOL.
Pregpan, Noah getting sick alot this winter is just one of those things and its not something you can blame on something you've done or haven't done. Its everywhere too - there hasn't been many families around here that haven't had weeks of illness. Its only been this week that I *think* I can safely say the kids are well and we've had bad health in this house since the end of May. The poor little fella's immune system is running on empty, but next year he might breeze through it kwim? And don't worry about the crawling either. When I had Erin another playgroup mum had a baby girl 3wks older and here was Erin doing all these things and her little girl didn't crawl till nearly 12mths and she didn't walk till nearly 17mths - and Erin had been walking since 9.5mths old, she was running up steps by the time this little girl started walking but to see them now, you would have no idea at all. His little body has it's work cut out just trying to stay well, so movement has just been put on the backburner for a while
Katie, bummer at not getting a bath!
Arte, I put my hand up to owning a grot who likes to play in the toilet. I am on at the kids all the time to close the door.
pregpan- sounds like you're having a shocking time, just like the week i've just had just to second what everyone else has said- it is not your fault he's sick again. lewis has been sick for 9 days now...and before that he had roseola. it's just a combination of the time of year and the age they are atm iykwim?
lewis had no signs of crawling and used to just lie there at mothers group while all the other babies crawled around him and over the top of him. then one day, he just crawled...and now he is scaling furniture and almost walking.
sherie- nice nail surgery dr sherie! yes i think you're right that i'm finding it harder due to lack of sleep. you'll be happy to know that lewis actually slept through from 12pm to 4am last night- not much i know but a huge improvement from what it's been like and i feel like a new woman! i got up early and went and did the supermarket shopping and took the dog for a walk. i feel great
ange- how do you help lu to self settle? i need some help off you i think. my lu will only sleep 1 of 3 ways- on the boob, in the sling, in the car seat. anything else, forget about it!
i think you are having a boy for sure. you lucky duck!
have you thought of names yet? it's doing my head in and dp won't help he named lewis so this one is all mine! he has to agree though.
clare- i'll be watching big brother tonight for sure. i voted for travis to go!!! i can't stand him at all. i want to slap him across the face. maybe it is pregnancy hormones making me so violent.
Arte, definately take him to the Dr. It could be just teeth, but if it is an ear infection it is best to get on top of it now instead of when he is screaming in pain from it because by golly they are painfully cruel for little ones.
G, LOL at you getting a nanny if it's twins. I reckon it's a precious strawberry one Its amazing how much even a few hours unbroken sleep can do for you isn't it?
jaz- yeah he sleeps with us. what kind of dummy do you use? we've tried a couple of different types with lewis and he just sort of chews on them and then spits them out- won't suck them.
sherie- one strawberry one would be just lovely thank you!
Rainy- lol at you having twins... Welcome to my world... its not all that bad. hehehehehehe.
Prepan- I know how you are feeling hope N gets better soon.
Sherie- Yep we seem to be ok for now.. dont want to jinx myself..
Art- Hope W is Ok
just to second what everyone else has said- it is not your fault he's sick again. lewis has been sick for 9 days now...and before that he had roseola. it's just a combination of the time of year and the age they are atm iykwim?
