I'm gonig around a GF's place on NYE at about 3pm - that's my excitment LOL!
Girls I hear you with DH's - mine is not sleeping so he's been sleeping in til 12 and when I ask to have a few hours off in the afternoon (he's on holidays) he whinges and complains, like I'm asking him to solve all of the worlds problems.
pinny how did you go last night??
i wasnt ment ot feed M last night but i forgot what to do last night so i fed the drastically reduced feed, she wasnt happy about that last night and cracked it when i put her back 15 mins a screaming later and she gave up i was right beside her but she was very angry with me she woke 40 mins later and screamed again for 5 mins, i stayed with her again, then slept til 6am, was a long night not much sleep as i was also up to S
Wow Olive - I admire you dropping the night feeds. Alex has been sleeping with me for 2mths and I'm exhausted. MIL said that I am probably emjoying it too much to give it up but to be honest I don't know how to get him out of it - in the old cycle of too exhausted to try, plus DH picks Alex up at the littlest sound, which drives me insane. I've had alex 24/7 since the 22nd November (the last time I got out on my own)...
My night went ok, but not as well as I hoped.
He woke at 10.30pm gave him a feed back to bed awake and slept fine till 1am, woke tried resettling without feed, became really angry fighting me and screaming! pulling at my top through the cot bars. Gave in and fed a quick feed one side, put back to bed and he went back to sleep until 6.30 am, no worries with settling himself once he has had a feed but really wanted to boobie milk. will try again tonight not to feed, between 11 and 6am what hours are you aiming for Olive?
Malyna- Hope you have a good time NYE, still not sure what we are doing yet. It is so hard I don't get any time to myself either unless going to the supermarket for half hour counts and that only rarely happens without DD.. I understand how you feel, too exhausted to change things... L started doing 5 hour blocks of sleep so I feel human again,and that's when I felt like I had the energy to try something... also if try to get out in the sunshine, it's amazing what effect a bit of fresh air can has,
pinny were up to day 4/5 i did the first 3 of reduced feeds, tonight will be cuddles and no feeds
is that what you did??
i also do all this between 11 and 6 as well
hey girls, think I need to google Jay Gordan too. DS sleep over Christmas has been absolute rubbish!! He is feeding up to 6 times in the 12 hour overnight period. Last night he actually went from about 8pm to 1am without waking which was a bit of a record during the past week. Of course I wasn't sleeping that entire time Have been so tired I feel like I haven't been able to enjoy his first Christmas properly And I have had a sore throat since the 23rd. Grrrr!! Ok, enough whinging from me!!
Olive - Hope S is feeling better.
Malyna - is your NYE baby free?? You really need some time out!
Pinny - Hope you have a better night tonight! I give in too - start with cuddles but then feed because it's taking too long and I want to go back to bed!
Hope you all had a great christmas and enjoy new years eve/day. Don't know if I can be bothered going out tomorrow night - if anything we will just be going to dp's cousin's place where they have a party every year.
L loves his walkerthat he got for christmas! You should see the boy run - his little legs going as fast as they can, it's sooo cute! And he follows us everywhere! He loves playing hide and seek - dp will hide behind some furniture and L scoots around in his walker trying to find him and just laughs hysterically when he finds dp
Well gtg, it's past 8:30pm and L is still awake and as rowdy as ever! xox
Hi all! Back from Adelaide safe and sound! Will read later and update but Miss J is fully crawling now and can even go up a step mg: She has started pulling herself up to standing as well.
Holly - The walker sounds like great fun.
Nai - WOW!! Go Miss J.
Its fabulous to hear how each of our babies have developed. They are all doing different things, at different times. It makes me realise just how general all the baby advice is and that kids will do whatever it is they are going to do whenever they are going to do it.
Alex has started sounding like jabba the hutt from star wars, I'm expecting him to say "jabba wookie" any second!
its the last day we can say our babies where born this year as of tomorrow it was last year
nai does your house smell better woot on the crawling!
holly we dont have any plans either!!!
malyna its so true, they do things when they are ready!!
AFM didnt really do the no feeding last night as M slept from 7pm til 4am and i couldnt feed her after going 9 hours, so i gave her a quick feed but it took me an hpur to get her back to sleep, so still baby steps but i think were getting there!
worst thing was while i was standing in her room i felt a trickle down my leg AF arrived, lucky it didnt go on the floor, i grabbed a prefold and used it as a pad! talk about timing
just put whingy-woo down, hoping she may sleep as shes been ooooohhhh so whingy today, not sure if its the heat or teeth, but boy its been a long sticky hot day!!
i made some fruit and jelly for the girls today, mango with apple and blackcurrant juice (the baby stuff) S didnt like she did last year, but M loved it.
M totally loves her straw cup, shes drunk so much water today and been on the boob constantly the most shes ever fed!
I've just been trying to get on top of the washing and unpack all our bags and new toys!! Arrrgh - I need a bigger house to put all the cr@p in! Well, if you haven't heard already - I forgot to put the dishwasher on before we left for holidays so the dirty dishes were baking in there for over a week and OMG the stench was hideous!! Fortunately the kitchen has stopped smelling but the dishwasher still isn't great. I will do a few more goes with vinegar and bi-carb but it is foul
so i fed the drastically reduced feed, she wasnt happy about that last night and cracked it when i put her back 15 mins a screaming later and she gave up
i was right beside her but she was very angry with me
google jay gordan, pinny and i are following the night weaning, though modified to suit us as were not co-sleeping or feeding to sleep
He loves playing hide and seek - dp will hide behind some furniture and L scoots around in his walker trying to find him and just laughs hysterically when he finds dp 
she did last year, but M loved it.
