Hi girls,
Well I finished my xmas shopping last week - I have absolutely no idea why I'm that organised - last year I was buying things on xmas eve.
Alex isn't sleeping very well, although last night he went into his cot for the first time in 2mths, and we had the bedroom door open with the a/c on because it was so hot. The cat decided that she would co-sleep with me.. so instead of a baby I had a cat! I was so exhausted I just fell asleep anyway.
Kaz - Thanks for the card, u made my day! :hug:
Olive - thanks for the necklace info.. DH was asking me what I wanted for xmas (I told him that he had already bought me a CD and a DVD) but now I've sent him the link for the necklace.
Nai - :hug: 7 teeth wow.
-
Malyna - Glad to hear you had a reprieve with As sleep last night. Hope it continues tonight.
Shell - LOL!! DP and I were the same when he came home with our Dyson. He vacuumed most of the house trying it out. It was awesome. You'll never look back! I agree about the pram. Next hair cut is for a Sat so DP can mind DS, there's no way he'll tolerate that again.
Ali - :hug: Thanks darl. So are you!!!
-
sorry didn't get 2 finish my last post - alex woke up.
shell & kaz - might have to buy a new vacuum to get dh to use it .
ali- take care
merry christmas to everyone :grouphug:

Hi all,
We didn't have the best of night last night either, but I know exactly why. We had a BBQ last night and didn't get home till about 9:30, and E had been up sice 1pm, so she was so tired. Then went to bed and woke about 3:30am. Tried putting her in with us, and she just mucked around, so put her back in her own room and she HOWLED for near an hour. I too just had to leave her, as there was nothing that I could do. She was not hungry, sick or anything else, she was just pi$$ed off with me!
THe cry was like "Don't you dare leave me in here, come and get me now!"
Then she slept till 9:30 this morning, so everything is out of wack. I hope we don;t get a repeat performance tonight, as we are staying at my mums!

I cant believe that every time I go on holidays I get sick with some bug the kids have going around at school!!!!!
I was still sick last night with gastro. I havent had gastro in about 5 years. Poor DD has it now too. No vomitting just heaps and heaps of runny poos. She is holding food down and drinking lots but is really whingy.
She woke up at 5am this morning so got her up and she got every single toy out in the lounge room while I felt sorry for myself on the lounge and then got her back to bed at 8am and then we both slept until 10am.
On a positive note I have lost 1.5kg in 2 days!
Is there anything I sshould or shouldnt give DD to make her better and do you girls know how long gastro lasts???

Ali most importantly, keep the fluids up (water and milk) If she doesn't want to eat, don't worry too much. Also keep the food plain and simple.
-
I've always found plain food important too! Stay away from dairy, offer feeds lots and water! Diluted Gastrolite too if you think!
Make sure you look after yourself too! Poor thing big hug Ali, hope your better soon!
-
:hug: Ali, look after yourself.
Lilima :hug: hope it was just a one night thing.
xxoo
-
Ali- :hug: that sucks, so hard too when you have a baby to look after. The others have given good advice. Keep up fluids is main thing. Are you still having your home xmas tonight?
Meg- I hate late nights with the girls cause I always find crap sleeping with it. How is your sister doing?
Tarkine- Are you still booked in for sleep school? When do you think you'll get in?
Emily been waking way too ealry for me last few mornings, wakes between 5.30 and 6 and ready to play. Not me!
-
Ali - :hug: for you and DD darl. Sounds horrible. Usually gastro only lasts a day or two right??? Not sure but I'm hoping you both feel much better by now.
Lilima - I hope DD sleeps better for you tonight - even though you're at your mum's. DS went to bed 90 mins later than usual tonight because it was DP's christmas work party and we went for the first bit and then I got talked into staying to have a meal and I'm freaking out that we'll have a rough one now. He's gone down ok but sometimes he will sleep alright for 40mins and then wake howling.
Shell - Yeah, not a fan of early wake ups here either. DS liking the 6am start lately whereas his mum much prefers the 7am!!
Malyna - How is DS sleeping the past few nights?
AFM - I went out this morning for 2.5hours without DS!!! It's so rare it's notable. I got heaps done but STILL have christmas present shopping to do. Starting to get annoyed at how long it's taking!
-
oh no ali :( hope your both on the mend soon :hug:
malyna how did A go in the cot last night?
shell yuk too early!! M was up at 6am this morning too!!
kaz woot onthe 2.5 hours! hope you grabbed yourself a coffee and a sit down alone!
meg hope tonight is a good one for you :hug:
pinny how did L go last night???? repeat performance??
AFU sleep sucks here!! M fed at 10.30pm and 2.30am (i think) but took a few goes to settle, then up at 6am, so was ok, tonight didnt want to go down which is very very rare, i had to stay in her room and continuously lay her back down as she kept sitting up, she gave up after about 15 mins so i hid at the end of her cot til she went to sleep, about 20 mins then snuck out, can only imagine what tonight may hold
-
Even tho she wakes early I refuse to get up at that time! Give her a bottle let her play and eventually she goes back to sleep. Luckily she is happy to do that. So then I can wait til 7.30 to get up!
-
arrh that all right then!!
sigh... sophie just fell out of bed and is whinging, i can only bet millie will be up soon
-
Ali - hope you are on the mend soon hun!
Hi everyone! Sorry we are so sleep deprived at the moment that I can hardly think - and I have to drive to Adelaide on Wednesday! Not sure how that is going to work!
Argh! J just woke - sorry got to run!
-
i hope not by yourself nai :o !!
missy was up 4 times last night *yawn* but at least she settled well everytime, she was soooo sleepy on the boob though
-
Olive- That is alot of wakes. Is it a wonder week or more teeth? Hope she has some good day sleeps today :hug:
Kaz- Its so weird going shopping without them. I feel naked without my pram now! I have actually found it has come in handy on occasions to get through crowds and also store all the bags in. I am pretty sure all the extended trading starts now so hopefully there is some near your town.
Nai- How long is the drive to Adelaide? Will DP be with you?
Pinny, Malina & Lilima - thanks for the tips about the gastro. :hug:
We were going to cancel last night but as I was feeling better late arvo we told them that they could come (it was just DP's dad and sister) but it would be at their own risk!!!! It actually went quite well. I just had a plain bread roll as didnt want to risk anyhting else. WE finally got a family photo with DP, DD our dogs and myself which is great. But now I know why they say never work with children and small dogs!!! Trying to get everyone to look at teh camera at the same time was hard work!!
Poor DP is so so so sick! I have never seen him like this. He was throwing up all night Cant even keep water down. I am goign to go to the chemist soon and get him something as he has it worse thatn any of us had it. I just really hope we are all better by Wed!
Thanks for all your lovely support :grouphug: BBL
-
glad your feeling better,sorry DP has it now!!
we dont have any teeth yet!! thinking though that is the issue
-
Hey all,
Ali - you poor thing, you guys are having a rough time at the moment! Hope DP is feeling better soon and still not sick sick. Just before Chrissy and your trip up to the Gold Coast too! :hug:
Olive - yawn, four times! I'd be delirious... Any ominous white lines on her gums??
Nai - take your time on the drive. Have lots of stops, and sugar in the car!! Had a family Christmas lunch today in Essendon and on the drive home to my house near the end of the Ring Rd DH fell asleep, DD cried the whole way home and I was almost beside myself. Not a fun trip and only 40 mins! Can't imagine going all the way to Adelaide or somewhere like that!!! Get some rest!!!!!
Shell - sounds like what I do, Isabel has been waking between 4 and 6am, I give her a quick feed and put her back in her cot, she chats a little bit then goes back to sleep til 8am... bliss.
Kaz - woooo on the free time without DS! You wouldn't have known yourself. Hope you enjoyed the time alone!
Lilima - I hear ya. Isabel gets that howling thing going on too, where she just won't be comforted. :hug: It is so tough. Hope last night was better and that tonight has been too.
Malyna - lol @ co-sleeping cat! My cat gives me the irrates sometimes and I just boot her off the bed. Sorry A is still having sleep issues - when is the sleep clinic? Hang in there hun!
Hi to everyone else!!
AFM: going ok here, feeling exhausted (as we all are!) and a little stressed about scan on Tues. Will let you know how it goes.
Can't believe Christmas is Friday!!!
