Welcome Belinda. I am at Windaroo which is near Yatala, so I am very close. Us Bris/Gold Coast girls should do a meet up one day!!!
I have been mia due to a really hard week with all my girls. I actually have averaged 4hours of sleep per night. Miss Eva has decided that sleep is just not required through the day and DD2 thinks that she doesn't need to sleep either lol. So I've beeb a little frazzled to say the least.
I am going solo for a week, whilst DH goes away for work. Should be fun
bek - i hope this week is a better one for you & i hope the girls are on their bestest behaviour while your DH is away!
leckert - it's great to hear from you - sounds like you have been really busy!!
i think we had a wonder week last week - i wasn't sure whether the 2 hourly wake ups overnight were just because corey was sick or a wonder week but now he is almost rolling from his back to his front - he's up on his side & so close to getting over. that started on friday & then yesterday he pretty much rolled from his tummy to his back & sat & sun nights he's done a 4 hr sleep at the start of the night (then back to 2 hrs) so maybe we're coming out the other side of a wonder week....fingers crossed!
Just wanted to pop in quickly, I think Ash has started teething He had red cheeks most of the week last week and over the weekend he has been incredibly grizzly and not sleeping for anymore than 30 minutes. He's showing most of the other classic signs too... I just hope we get a bit of a reprieve soon, I know we've got months and months of this ahead of us but it would be nice to get a break.
To make matters worse we've got building works going on downstairs in the shop below. The noise wasn't too bad last week, but today it is really bad and carrying upstairs to his bedroom which isn't helping at all
hi all
leckhert Anton has got cradle cap as well the dr gave me Aristocort cream ive used it about 4 times now and it seems to have worked i got it on script but i think you can also get it over the counter my neighbour also said it is great for nappy rash
Hey everyone. We survived our weekend with my parents! I know mum appreciated us coming up and being able to see Hayley again. Dad took a while to warm up, but on Sunday morning he was great. Hayley cracked it as we were trying to pack the car to leave and he was walking around the house trying to shush her!
I ordered a peanut sling a week ago and it arrived today - a nice chocolate one with pink dots. I'm hoping I haven't ordered the wrong size as I can't seem to get hayley in there...had a struggle trying to get her in the cradle hold way, she was laughing the first time but after that she just grizzled. I tried the kangaroo hold a little while ago and after a while managed to get her in there, but it didn't look at all comfortable as her legs were all mangled underneath her...I just can't seem to get it to open wide enough to fit her in. Maybe i'm just a spastic and I'm not doing properly..i don't know... does anyone else have a peanut shell sling??
Cradle cap is basically gone; now working on scaly / dry skin on forehead, then onto the rest of DS's body. Currently using a combo of paw paw cream and olive oil - whichever I find first when I go to "cream" it seems to be working - at least the olive oil removes the dead looking scales.
ss_storm - sorry, no help from me - i had a peanut sling for corey but i tried it a couple of times & it just wasn't happy in there so i sold it! to me it looked kind of uncomfy but i really only tried the cradle hold because corey was still really young at that stage. i know mel (arimeh) sold them in her store so she might be able to help?
hi Belinda, welcome! So jealous of your nine hour sleeps!!
ss-storm - I'm no help either. I got a Bubba Moe sling and managed to get Zac into it once or twice relatively successfully, but it just didn't look that comfortable. I found it easier to put him in the sling while it was flat on the bed and then put the sling on. I think I might revisit it when he's a bit older and try some of the other holds.
Miss E - poor bubba, poor you! Can't say I'm looking forward to teething either...
We had some building work done when Zac was about 3 weeks old and he actually woke up when the noise stopped :-)
Leckert - good luck with going back to school. It will be interesting to see how your DH goes being home alone with him ;-) Sounds like you're going well with the cradle cap.
Jasp - that's quite a lot of growing Arlea's been doing!
AFM - having done a week of 5-8 hour sleeps over night Zac has decided that he will revert to waking every 3-4 hours overnight ah well. I guess he's proven that he can do it - if he wants to ;-)
We had our final 'formal' mothers' group meeting yesterday - will start meeting at each others' houses from next week. I'm really looking forward to it as it seems like a really nice bunch of people and we will get a chance to get to know each other much better.
looks like we're in for a week of beautiful weather here in Melbourne, thank goodness.
Got great news from my CC yesterday - and Blake starts Monday and has Thursday and Friday there as well. They weren't sure when they'd have a space for him on the Mon and Thurs for him - were waiting for a couple of children to leave. Means if Blake doesn't settle well DH can get him. DH is still home with Blake on Tues & Wed now (planned that way until end of term, then he goes back to work full time & I get Blake again).
hi all
jumping on while the little man is sleeping - lets hope it lasts so I can do some personals!
Jasp - wtg on Arlea's growth! sounds like she is doing so well - how is the expressing going for you?
Miss E - cant believe he is teething already... wow they are growing up so quickly! I hope it doesnt give him too much trouble. Jacob has started to drool a lot, but I dont think it is teething here yet.
Cate - the mothers group sounds good - hope you enjoy getting to k now them all. one of my closest friends is a girl i met at mothers group with Noah.
Leckert - hope Dh goes well with bubba and that the return to school is smooth.
Bekz - how is miss E now? hope you are going ok without DH - i feel silyy for complaining now when my DH goes away!
AFM all is well here - heading to the beach on Thu with my mum and the boys so hoping for some nice weather too. It is lovely here at the moment.
