Peanutter I think you just have to ride it out...suck away the snot and lots of cuddles help if you ask me! Hope you get over it soon. Doodlebug You have pulled the short straw haven't you! When are you free next....starting to wonder when I'm leaving Perth!!!
Peanutter that's no good about all those colds. I think from what I've heard that you just have to let kids get over it & build their immunity. To me that sounds sucky and it would be heartbreaking to see Josh sick, but it's probably for the best in the long run.
Giggles, you won't read this as you'll be gone, but I hope your travels to Brisvegas are safe & you get here amongst all the flooding, etc. Yay for Deacon sitting up by himself!!
Doodlemonkey, oh dear!! What a horrible time of year to all be sick & DH working such crazy hours. I hope you all get better very soon.
Yules, has DH start date for Jersey changed?
AFM, nothing happening here. Three days of christmas parties starting today & one tired & cranky baby come Monday I am guessing. Speaking of baby, I best go start her bottle for the day. Hope Santa is kind to you all. xo
Peta The start date hasn't changed, he is 'kinda' working for Jersey office already, but with all the faffing around they did with visas, we are still waiting for DH's to be issued. Once his is done, the kids can be done....me...I walk in with my Brit passport... Thank goodness it's easy for one of us!
So we are still in Perth until it's all sorted as DH can't arrive in the UK without me...I am his 'sponsor'.
Well I'm logging off until after Christmas. Hope everyone has a lovely time, and the babies cope with it well!
Well, that was christmas! Thank goodness its over for another year. The day turned out quite nicely, overcast but very little rain. And today the SUNSHINE has returned. Not sure for how long, but it's so nice to see it.
Not sure about your LO's but Alyssa was spoilt rotten for christmas. She got so many pressies from both our families. DH family ended up coming to ours in the afternoon, so that was nice. Nothing was said about our lunch or the fact they were also invited.
We haven't been able to do anything much besides TV and playing the last few days with the rain. The yard is so boggy so I doubt we'll even be able to go out there now. It will take a few days to dry out. Yules, it looks like it's been boiling hot over there.
Milestones, Alyssa has started walking (well stepping slowly) with some assistance from us. Now that she's doing that, she just wants to be up all the time. I'm sensing my quiet baby is about to become crazy once she's sees the other kids at daycare doing crawling & walking. Bring it on!!
peta ... how rough!! A couple of the girls from my mothersgroup have had the same thing in the past couple of weeks with their LOs... Personally my money is on the heat combined with the seriously heightened stress levels so many have been having cos of the floods and the fires etc. If bub is still having the right number of wet nappies day in and day out, and is at least drinking something each day and is sleeping at least a bit each day and isn't getting lethargic and "floppy" I would ride it out and just offer food, drink, playtime, naps etc, give her plenty of towel downs with a wet washer and loads of reassurance and cuddles. If daycare was started three weeks ago, I wouldn't have thought that any negative reaction would be so delayed.
Thanks Peanutter!! Today has been better again, with another full night's sleep last night. With the Aus Day holiday I have her here at home one extra day this week, so we'll see how we are by this coming weekend. She doesn't seem to be lacking energy or anything, maybe just too many new things to amuse her rather than behave!
Take care everyone. xo
I agree with our nutter, daycare doesn't sound like it's the problem. Could be teething, could be hot, could be cold, could be she's just had enough and wants to chill out for a few days! There is a wonder week around 8mts so that could also come into play, a couple of weeks ago Logan had a shocker of a week, was waking up in the night for 'bonus boob's which he never normally does, also not finishing his bottle before bed and was very sooky during the day. Nothing seems to have come of it, no teeth or obvious signs, I just put it down to a wonder week. (my answer for everything! )
Again, I agree with the wet/dirty nappies, as long as these are coming as much as ever I wouldn't worry too much.
Glad you got another full nights sleep last night! That's great!
I need some advice / thoughts. Alyssa had eating solids down pat & would have 3 meals a day + 4 bottles. All of a sudden this last week she doesn't really want to eat anything & will only have the bare minimum of her bottles. I've had varying ideas from friends from getting sick, teething, temperature too hot..... I just don't know. I'm wondering if the change to her routine & stress from daycare is affecting her. I know its only been 3 weeks but I really wonder if I am doing the right thing. Don't get me wrong, I think daycare is giving her some great interaction & it is nice to have a "break" from being a mummy for a minute, even if it is to work. I just don't know. Her sleep has been very disturbed the past week also. Normally she sleeps right through from about 630pm - 500am, but last week she was either not going down or waking up multiple times a night. We've tried bonjela & she loves it, but I'm really not sure its teething.
Hope you are all going well & your little ones are being angels. Till next time. xo
Oh no Peta that sux the big one! HOpe it's sorted soon. And if they don't cover the warranty you might be able to blame it on 'fusion' and claim on insurance?
Hey Nutter...Nice Avi!
AFM: Max is being a NIGHTMARE at the moment...so over it! Darcie also cut her first tooth yesterday! and has also started some sort of crawl/bum shuffle move! It's a cute one! AND she's started pulling herself up against the couch and attempting to cruise the furniture! OMG YAY!
Thanks girls! We managed to find a "cheap" little fridge/freezer and get it delivered today, so problem averted till we call warranty tommorrow.
YAY Darcie you clever little monkey. First tooth & some more movement.
I do like your Avi too Peanutter!! Very cool. Ha ha, credit card, I am so over ours........ One day it will be zero. Maybe when Alyssa hits 18!
Anyway, I'm going to go relax. Alyssa had a very up & down night last night & has crashed early tonight thankfully so here's hoping she sleeps through & her cold is gone even more tommorrow. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY for tommorrow ladies!! xo
I have been reading for half an hour trying to catch up lol
Doodlebug - Thanks for sharing about food - have been getting myself in a tiz about it and your post has made me feel heaps better!
Peta - Hope you get the warranty sorted. We seem to be having a similar run at the moment and it SUX!
lilChookie - Your DD sounds gorgeous - congrats!
Yules - describe 'nightmare'? How hard is it with two somedays!!! Mine have just started fighting over toys...let the games begin!!!!
AFM - Think we've surfaced ...a little...off the meds for PND and that's mostly ok...I've come to the conclusion that I MUST get on BB everyday and keep in touch...feeling isolated is not a good thing and BB is wonderful for that. In just 2 weeks I will have a 2 year old...she's doing great and so thankful that she's a great sleeper...little Miss T ...our 9 month old boobie monster is another story....she is feeding 3 hourly day and night and I'm stuffed! Any suggestions? I've got the bottle of water ready tonight...CHN suggestion...not sure it'll work...I cave so easily and stick her on the boob so I can get back to sleep coz I'm so damn tired! DH away so a good time to have her screaming the house down I guess!
