Nella - nothing wrong with a little couch sleeping every now. DH always puts K to bed these days. Glad L liked the curry.
Noni - that lip things sounds interesting, let us know how it goes.
Ange - lol at your grocery shopping all day!! I have heaps more energy now I am back at work and if we have a bad night I seem to cope fine if I am working as opposed to when I am home. I think because I am distracted at work by having to do things, I can't think about how little sleep I had whereas at home it's very easy to. Definitely having to work is not an excuse to get out of looking after bubs.
K had a shocking night last night. DH had to get up about 5 times, including once for 1.5 hours! She just kept coughing and crying. Got her into the doctor's this afternoon, but not sure what they can do. Her body felt warm this morning, but she didn't have a temp. My turn tonight to look after her.
hi girls! sorry that i have been MIA lately. let's just say that despite some lovely moments, it has the been the week from hell and DH, Leila and I are feeling it. want to pack my bags and go to fiji and sit on a beach sipping banana daquiris. who doesnt?????
Leila had her jabs last monday, got sick that night, no biggie thought it was just temps from the jabs. second day thought it was the same....so basically for the last 7 nights in a row i have had less than 2 hours sleep (broken) a night. she half-wakes up screaming inconsolably, and has the runs BIG TIME. i am over it (as is she!). took her to the doctor. not much they can do, is a nasal passage infection almost finished, antibiotics wont do much. pretty bummed. oh, and she has to be on a liquid diet for the next 48 hours!! so from almost weaning i am now having to do the long hard yards of BF all day and night for a 15 month old. she is refusing all water, so it is cows milk in bottles or BF.
sorry for the me vent, just am crumbling ever so slightly. oh for an hour of sleep!
Claire hope Leila is feeling better soon so you can all get some rest!
Leeanne glad you're better. Christmas is only 24 days away. Yikes! I don't even know what we're doing this year. DP is working again this year so might go to mums again.
Clare - oh dear, hope you get a better nights sleep tonight. Poor little L. Banana daiquiris sound good though!!
Well after a 45 min wait at the doctor's (thank god they supplied toys) we got in. One of her ears was a bit red, but her lungs were clear even though she has a bad cough. So we have some antibiotics in case her ear gets more sore in the next few days.
And she bit a little boy this morning! Not enough to break the skin, but still not impressed. She's been doing it a lot to me, just biting my clothes when she gets frustrated with something and we do the whole 'no Katie, biting hurts' and put her down by herself, but the message doesn't seem to be getting through. Will just keep perservering I suppose.
Cally, we are dealing with biting, pinching and hair pulling here too. When she is frustrated she lashes out. I too am doing as you do, but it doesn't seem to sink in. I do notice the biting only occurs when she is teething though. But the pinching is an on going thing.
I am hoping over time it sinks in. I guess repetition and persistance is the key.
I hate having a bully as a daughter.
Clare- hope tonight is better for you all. You sound exhausted.
