Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! I had the best gift ever - my DD1 did her first ballet concert, she was the lead and she did such a wonderful job. DP and I were crying. My mum and my dad both came and saw her too (don't think my dad ever saw me do anything!). Miss J behaved herself and she even slept from 11.30 - 6.30 which was a treat!
Sorry for the lack of personals but am rushing around trying to get ready for birthday drinks this arvo and I'm still in my undiesand the house is a mess! :lol:
-
Hope you have a great day today Nai! I saw DD1's ballet pics - just gorgeous! You must be so proud, she looked like an angel, and a lead role too!
Shell, glad you found the blankie! Nope don't remember the myer rooftop thing?
Pinny, have fun at the Christmas party! I had to rack my brain as to who that person was adding me on fb and then I saw the gorgeous DD and DS and realised it was you! Beautiful family you have :)
Ali, lol hokkien noodles!! Saw your most recent pics on fb...your dogs are sooooo cute with DD!!
Ellie, how's DD been the last couple of nights? Hope it's improving for you. Can't believe how time is flying - soon the next one will be here!
Lilima, congrats on being an aunty again! Too cute about the Santa photos! My mum has a photo of my brother and I on Santa's knee and you should see my face - I was not happy!! Haha! We are hoping to get some Santa photos sometime this week, hope L is in a good mood.
OP, hope your sleep improves too! Yay on the first tooth!
Lol at the downward dog pose these babies are doing! L is still getting there, I'm not sure he will crawl at all lol.
Hi to everyone else!
L is doing well. He is really wanting to talk! He loves to make his voice heard and has such a cute babble, I have to record it :) I've been cooking new meals from my baby/toddler meal planner and so far so good, he's liking them (and me and DP too!) We've sorted out L's presents for Christmas - we got him a walker (yeah yeah I know, apparently they're not good!), a lovely handmade stocking and a reindeer plush toy that's bigger than him (in the fb pics). I'm so desperate to put the tree up but we are having renos and tomorrow the plasterer is coming and next week after the painter is coming so the rooms have to be empty :doh:
Well that's it from us! Hope you all had a great weekend, will check in again soon xox

Hi girls!!
I've been MIA again lately - sorry :redface:
Nai - HAPPY BIRTHDAY darl! Hope you're enjoying those drinks!!
Ali - How could I hate you?? I think it's awesome Miss A is sleeping through so much for you. I wouldn't wish 4 hourly waking on anyone! I know they're all different I was just wondering where J fit in this group. Seems most are sleeping for much longer stretches and it's the same in my mums group IRL. Things have calmed down in my family - thanks for asking hun. Christmas should be interesting though cause under the surface it's still not any better with my mum. I am trying to steer clear of it all though.
Shell - What a PITA about Miss Es blanky! At least you found it again though. J has a dummy and a ducky lovey - a lot of the time he wakes and is crying around the dummy though :doh: He only has the dummy/ducky for sleeps and I'm ok with that but it won't replace a feed unfortunately.
Olive - wow! Crawling. Go Miss M!!!
OP - Oh that settling sounds like hard work -at the end of the day too when all you want to do is collapse in bed yourself!! Your pg is moving quickly!
Holly - Oh renos suck while they're happening! It'll be worth it once you have a nice house for Christmas though :)
Meg - Great that Mr. J had a good time on the train. Hope that Miss E sleeps better for you soon.
Pinny - :hug: It's hard to be woken so often week in week out huh?
Sorry everyone - I've been on the phone since starting this post and I can't remember what else was said!
AFU - A couple of nights ago J slept through :hooray: Went from 11:30pm feed to 7:30pm feed with one wake at 6am but he resettled himself. I felt awesome all day. But he's been back to 4-5 hourly mostly since. Last night he fed at 7pm then 9pm then slept through til 3pm but I couldn't sleep so lay awake that whole time :doh: and :wall: So frustrating!
-
Ummm I caught Ash eating a dog biscuit today :o :o :o
Saw her commando crawling towards them yesterday but forgot to move them then today I was on the computer :doh: and I heard this racket in the kitchen and went in there and Ash had picked up handfuls of the dogs biscuits and had them all over the floor and had 3 in her mouth!!!! :o I got them all out but yuk!!!! I looked at the packet and there is nothing dangerous in them but its the whole thing that its dog food!!! I also caught her with my thong (footwear kind ;) ) in her mouth! Going to have to seriously watch wear we put stuff now.
Kaz- that is great that he had a night of sleeping through and even better that he resettled himself. I think once they get the hang of that, you wont have to get up to him as much during the night as he wont need you to help him get back to sleep. He will get there :hug: Glad things have setteld down on the family front.
Holly- glad things are going well with L. How cute that he is talking. We have a squaker not a talker yet!!! Loves to do high pitch squeals! Does my head in when its at 7am!
Nai- Hope you enjoyed the drinks. I would be in tears as well. everything about her says ballerina. She has that beautiful skin, hair & delicate look about her. Just gorgeous.
Shell- We have lost so many things from our pram!!!! We even managed to lose a book that was actually attached to the pram! Go figure. We have gained a few things as well of recent times! It wasnt until we were out of best&less on the weekend that I noticed ash had taken some hair things at the counter. I took them back (they weren't very pretty anyway) but thought it was quite funny. Might go start a thread about it.
-
Oh Ali that's :sick: You poor thing, that would have been horrible. I bet it's the first of many horrible things she'll eat though. I'm dreading when J starts eating stuff. So far it's just been a bit of grass and paper and I'm so very thankful that his nappy wasn't dirty when he managed to get it off last week! She'll survive, I'm sure there was nothing too harmful in them.
ETA - Oh and he's also put one of my footwear thongs in his mouth too!
-
i caught millie licking the bottom of my thongs :sick:
-
:ROFL: Its so not funny but it is!
-
:rofl: i know she was licking it like it was an icecream!
-
Hey all,
I've been a bit MIA as well, sorry!
Had to have a little laugh and the things these kidlets are putting in their mouths - Isabel is obsessed with my mum's cat, who seems to love babies and will flop on her side right in front of Isabel... well that swishy cat tail is too much to resist and has gone into Isabel's mouth a few times!
She's also had a go at my thongs before... I figure the germs are good for her. Or something :D
Kaz - that's great about J sleeping better a while ago! Hang onto that - he can do it, he will do it!
Holly - sounds like you guys and L are going really well! We finally got our tree up yesterday, looks pretty Christmassy in here now! We haven't even started with presents though!
Nai - happy birthday! Your pressie from DD1 sounds just beautiful - must check out FB pics! Sounds like you had a lovely day :D (ok just had a look at the pics - so cute, she is just gorgeous!)
Olive - how was the Christmas party?? We haven't braved Myer in the city yet... might wait til next year.
Pinny - yes, it does seem to be going fast! Strange!! Hope L was good after the Christmas party!
Shell - we would be the same if we lost Miffy! Agh! My friend who gave it to Isabel originally has bought us a backup but I haven't seen her! Must see her...
I have vague memories of the rides and stuff!
Why is everyone else so organised with Christmas presents and we are just NOT?! Aghhhh...
Lilima congrats on the new nephew! I'm sure he is gorgeous - enjoy the newborn snuggles!
It sounds like I am lucky - Isabel is still quite cuddly, she will sit on my lap after a feed or whatever and often snuggle right into my chest and hold on tight. Its lovely :D
I'm also lucky that she is forgiving... we are trying at the moment to give her a course of antibiotics because apparently her eczema is infected again (I say apparently because 4 GPs couldn't really agree... :wall: ) and she hates it. Screams like we are shoving pins into her. Spits it all out everywhere...
But then 5 mins later she's over it, thank goodness. Anyone got any tips for me??? How can I get them into her?
-
Olive- :rofl: about the ice cream, I found Lewis sucking on one of Abbey's old bandaids!!!:sick: Lucky Abbey uses them for the smallest of injuries, so they wouldn't be that gross!!
OP- Hope Isabels eczema improves poor bubba! Must be so hard, No real hints but maybe just try little bits at a time?
-
OP - my only thought is to crush up the ABs into food - or mix it up with food? Can you make it into a game?
Olive - LOL at the icecream..
AFU - two teeth, - ouch baby teeth are sharp!! rescheduled swimming today due to unsettled baby this mornging and now I have a terror on my hands - he's cat hunting as I type... Better go rescue the cat..hmmm.. maybe I'll leave her for a bit - she's asking for trouble, laying on the lounge room floor, stretched out..she wants 'better' food. spoilt little pooper.
Finished writing the main story of my book - now I just have to weave a couple of subplots through it, and check the grammar and spelling.
-
OMG Holly...just saw your ticker...counting down to Chrissy...I haven't even started my shopping...suddenly feeling very stressed!
Olive - LOL about the icecream!
OP - Can you disolve them in water? We disolve A's losec for reflux and use a suringe (spelling...that doesn't look right???) ...she sucks it out on her own now. Good luck..medicine and bub's is a mission!
Malyna - Yay on finishing part of your book...great sense of achievement :)
A still taking ages to go down at night..crawling around the cot...just keep putting her down and eventually she passes out...slept 12 hours last night??? Has cut both top teeth now and another top on it's way. Have had a weird day today...did a bungy off the bed with me grabbing the back of her top..still conected with bedside table and has a lump..no blood but alot of tears...won't bore you with the rest...but looking forward to DH getting home and the day finishing..I am so tired...and so tired of feeling sick...and feeling so guilty for strapping A in her pram and putting her in front of the tv so I can spend ten mins on the lounge feeling Bub 2 bouncing around...I'm sure it won't damage her..too much ???
-
Emily loves thongs too! I'm sick of chasing stuff out of her mouth.
Ellie- don't feel guilty, we all need 10mins break. Or we will have a break down! I tell Ash to entertain her for awhile so I can have a cup of tea. Em crawls around the cot too but is happy doing it so luckily I can leave her and she'll eventually put herself to sleep.
Malyna- Thats great about the book! Woohoo, celebration time. Good on you for achieving it.
OP- its terrible with ABs, Ash loves medicine so she is easy as, but Emily gags and sometimes vomits. There was a thread awhile back somewhere on giving them think it was recommended squirt in the cheek or gums or something.
Nai- I saw the pics, so beautiful, I loved her dress. Best birthday present I bet!
4 and a bit weeks til I am back to work. First pay I'm buying a bloody Dyson, not that exciting but so sick of my sh*tbox vacuum, cuts out after like 15mins cause its overheated.
-
Hi all,
Poor A Ellie. I hope she is alright. E too has cut her first two top teeth, and I think two more are on the way.
OP I hope her eczema heals. It must be terrible.
Took J to the Wiggles concert today, and left E with my cousin. She was really good, but while my cousin was trying to change her nappy she squirmed everywhere and got poo all over my cousin, herself nad the floor!!!
J got quite sick while we were there. Started complaining of a sore throat, then got really hot, and started shaking. he fell asleep in my arms walking back to the tram stop, then slept all the way back to my cousins. Got him straight in to the doctors due to the fact that he has ongoing ear problems, and the threw up on the floor in the doctors office (as well as himself and me!)
he has a bad throat infection, and is waking up screaming, as he seems to be having nightmares because of it. I am going to put him in with me tonight, and hope like Hell the Miss E doesn't wake as well, as DH is on night shift.
-
Just had to share a quick woo hoo as they are few and far between at the moment...gave A an early dinner then let her crawl around and play with DH and didn't bath her till 7.30pm...then bottle...cuddle and fell asleep as I was putting her in the cot...soooooo thankful for an easier night tonight!!!
-
:hooray: Ellie! So glad you've had a stress free night last night. Hope it repeats itself tonight.
Lilima - oh poor J. I hope he's feeling better soon.
Its funny how many of the babies like thongs. Who would have thought?
AFU - J went to the CFHN today. He's put on 30 grams in the past month :o I'm not particularly stressed about it but she wants to see us in another month to make sure he doesn't start losing weight. Pushing rice cereal as something to add to his food. I really don't think he'd eat it but I couldn't be bothered arguing the point. I was like, whatever. At least there was no talk of a physio this time. He is moving around a lot more (or trying to at least). And there is a little tooth moving up in the gums - so Ali your sleep theory could be right! (I was initially thinking that didn't apply to J cause he didn't seem to be doing too much with teeth). His sleep has been all over the place lately too - anywhere from 3hourly feeding to 6 or even 7 hourly and on thursday night last week he went 8 hours!!
-
So upset this morning :cry: DD fell off my bed onto the wooden floors! :cry:
I bought her in at 6am and fed her then put her next to me on the wall side (the bed was pushed up right to the floor and I have pillows along there as well.
I fed her and must have fallen asleep and then must have been about 5min later I heard a massive thud :( She had crawled off the end of the bed.
So careless of me. DP isnt impressed with me at all and is worried she'll have brain damage.
She seems fine and has been playing, laughing and ate all her brekkie. I just feel terrible :cry:
-
Oh Ali:hug: Don't be too hard on yourself, accidents happen and I'm sorry to say this but I think it may be the first of many.
I'm sure she will be fine, no brain damage!!!!Maybe just look out for concussion cos those symptoms can appear hours later.
