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!
Thanks DB! I have the book you are talking about. This did cross my mind but for some reason I thought she'd already "leapt". More good sleeps today and she is down again now (though only just), but it looks like my little girl is coming back. She has had more of her bottles today & even ate a piece of toast, half a jar of food & some zucchini slice so that is good. Mummy is much happier than the last few days.
How is everyone going? Yules have you made it to Jersey yet? You're probably still getting settled.
Hi everyone
Going slowly mad here... Miss T has gone back to 3 hourly feeds day and night...she has solids breaky lunch and dinner but has turned into a boobie monster again! Praying for sleep tonight
