Hi Hannah How rude of the best man saying that! Grrrr! Some people have no idea!!
I hope the new psych works well for you, have you noticed a difference with the new dosage? I do agree there's only so much he can do with Amelia to help, which will start to change now with her being so much more responsive. Really he can't complain too much about being unfairly judged if he doesn't go to appointments with you, I'm sure the docs aren't judging him as a bad person they're just trying to help you out, maybe he feels a bit guilty that he can't do more. Oh and I hear you on the not having to ask! My DP is really good with some things but useless with others he will do stuff if I ask but it really p***es me off when I have to keep asking so in the end I don't bother.
The amber necklaces are great aren't they I love Harry's I think it makes a difference to his mood, he's by no means a perfect baby, but definitely much improved. I've heard people saying their bubs slept through the night after they got theirs, no such luck here!
Hi Suzi Glad the boys were good for you on your busy day. Hope the dentist wasn't too painful! Probably hurt your wallet more than your mouth :0) The window/kitchen dramas are pretty much sorted, but we had to change our favourite part of the kitchen, apparently you aren't supposed to scale off plans, which is fine but the deviation was much bigger than I would have ever thought you would get! Kind of makes me wonder why we had to pay $1000s to have the plans drawn then we could've done it ourselves Grrr!
Hi Alison YAY! With your engagement ring ...Ahh how I long for the days of consistency
Hi Rose As if Liam looks like a girl! MILs That sounds like a very old fashioned comment. I bet he looks gorgeous Harry does, not that I'm biased or anything! I do think it's making a difference for Harry though, not a huge shift but definitely an improvement.
Good on you for looking after yourself, I wish I could find the motivation for that! I am so lazy!!!
Hi Beany Thanks for the info from your mothers group on solids. Try not to work yourself up about stuff until it happens, because, it might not! Look how cruisey Michael was with those teeth You could be one of the lucky ones and Michael just pretty much breezes through with out too many dramas,the odd sleepless nights are hard, but it might not get any worse than that I was lucky like that with DS2.
Hi to everyone
I've got to go and get organised to go out and choose new carpet for the new rooms, I'll catch up later, hope everyone has a good day.
Rose - good on you for trying to look after yourself We all need to make sure we look after ourselves too. Wow! V impressed with the daily walks! I really should do that more often too. I'm stuck at home today with a flat tyre on his pram! (yes, sad that I can't fix that myself, might give it a go tho).
Hannah - Honestly, some ppl can be such idiots. Don't worry about that guy. Ohhh thats so cute about the mug! She must have great hand control to be able to lift it and pretend to drink from it! Yay Amelia!
Suz - haha, yes I think that will be me too, wanting a photo of his reaction! Sounds like you had a v busy day indeed!
Alison - yay for wearing your engagement ring! I haven't tried mine on for a couple of weeks, might do that later. Poor Amelia, how is she sleeping at night now? I'm sure its just a phase...seems like its all-change as soon as we get used to something! Bummer about the photo's hopefully they won't be too much longer.
Willow - Oh I hope you're right. Every night since Sunday night he's been waking between 2-3am. Have fun choosing carpet! I love doing that stuff
Hello to everyone else!
AFM - Still suffering with the frequent waking during the night. Last night he actually let me sleep in till nearly 3.30am before waking...but blimey, what a battle to get him back to sleep - prolly took a good 1.5 hours. He was properly awake, not grizzling or carrying on...just playing around in his cot. I'm wondering if maybe his other tooth is now bothering him (one has well and truly cut - its mega sharp!, the other I can see but I can't feel yet), cos I keep finding him with his grobag hitched up and in his mouth. He had a couple of good days for day naps, but today is a different story. Oh, and he will no longer go for his night sleep without his dummy. *sigh* I long for consistency too! Its doing my head in!
omg Beany sad that 3.30am can be considered a sleep in! I hope that stops for you soon!
We didn't make it to choose the carpet today. DP still isn't used to baby time, he goes off and says, "I'll just do this first" gets side tracked, by then Harry's asleep and it was too late as DP had a dentist appointment
Question for you girls, has anyone else noticed a change in poo colour? The last couple of days Harry's has gone from the yellow mustard seedy type to a more dark green, was wondering if it was a teething thing? Or maybe all the home made vegetable soup I've eaten the last few days?
And I'm not happy about the colour change as last night (you'd think I'd learn...but NO) and again tonight, I've given him nappy free time, and, yes, he's pood! Last night he'd rolled to the edge of his blanket and got it on the rug, and tonight it stayed on the blanket, woo hoo! Until I picked it up and it had soaked through to the rug The dark green is much harder to get out! LOL I'll have to be much more vigilant on the new carpet!
Hi Willow - I have the same thing here, he wants to do stuff but by the time he actually says he's ready then Amelia's due a feed or sleep, grrrr.
As for poo's, Amelia's FF so bit different, her poos have been mostly green for a long time although she still does the mustard seedy ones which is interesting given she's not on breastmilk at all anymore, she did a very mustard runny one with only a little firmer green stuff today so I reckon the mustard stuff for her is teeth!!!!
Off to dinner tonight right when Amelia is due to go to sleep so she's in her jammies and hopefully will go to sleep in the pram and stay that way when we transfer her to bed. Off to the block for the night tomorrow so won't be on tomorrow.
Oh and picked up my Gotcha photo's today (Rose if you're reading) - OMG I couldn't decide and walked away upset as I wanted them all. Only to get home and DH said I should've bought them all. I didn't because we've spend $500 on the others (which I haven't got yet). The Gotcha ones are so gorgeous....I might have to ring them up and order some more I think lol.
Hi Alison Thanks for the poo feedback So by the sound of it teeth could be the culprit FF or BF wouldn't make any difference there would still be a change.
Enjoy dinner and your time at the block, hope Amelia behaves, I'm sure she will, see you when you get back
Just posted a new video of Ryan on FB. It's also stars Elmo, with Craig and DH in the background. A bit dark because I was trying so hard to catch what he was doing (before he stopped doing it) that I didn't have the night vision turned on.
Willow - Ryan and Craig both had breastfed green poos, I always thought it was when I ate a lot of greens? But there have been green poos lately and Ryan's teething like mad. Did you get the poo out of the rug/carpet? I've had to wash the cushion covers on the couch several times this week because Ryan's pooed on one of them Hope you make it out to choose the new carpet.
Alison - Yay! I'm so pleased you have your engagement ring back on! Keep up with the 12 week challenge and you'll have the wedding band on too. Hope you have a lovely dinner and weekend away. Get all the photos you can, they're only little once
Beany - Oh dear! Don't worry, even a 'good sleeper' like Ryan has inconsistencies where he'll wake out of the blue for a 3am feed, or wakes early in the morning. One kid in my Mother's Group has only just stopped waking during the night and he's 2.5!
Hi to anyone else reading!
AFM - For once it's a long weekend and we're not going away. I've been trying to get my fish tank up and running again after losing my fish when we were away in January. I've spent this week trying to get the water right so I can get new fish soon. Wii Fit Plus is my new friend, I've been hopping on at midday when the boys are both asleep. DH has bought a new dirtbike and will be heading out for a ride on it sometime this weekend. It'll be the first time since his accident when he broke his ribs (nearly 2 months ago). I'm trying not to think about it.
Someone suggested that I try Ryan on a rusk and he loves them! Thank goodness because he doesn't like any teethers, only my fingers.
We usually go to the Dawn Service here in Canberra at the War Memorial, but not since Craig was a baby. It means a lot to me, but it's a big ask for a toddler to stay quiet. Maybe we can go to the ANZAC Parade instead? Whatever you do, I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Hey, you girls remember Ayapi, one of our December Belly Buddies who miscarried in the first 12 weeks? She's had a beautiful baby girl named Amelia Jane
, no such luck here!
