Olive, sounds like you've been having a bit better time. Hope tonight is even better for you!!! Maybe some 1-1 mummy time was what she needed.
As for sleeps - we still have 2 every day, sometimes like you if she is awake early I think she'll need 3 but most days it doesn't happen. I wonder if we are trying to put her down for sleeps too early - normally we're putting her down around the 2hr mark and she just cracks the absolute sads!!! It is driving DH and me mad - we have left her to CIO twice today as we are just over it Bad parents... but nothing we tried would settle her, even the BB...
So confusing and stressful!
Kaz - you poor thing, we cut #4 last night and it was a shocker - three hours of almost constant screaming. Here's hoping Mr J's comes through soon.
Shell - thanks! Sounds like your days have been going well - woo! I will try for your attitude tomorrow... like you, I will appreciate the money. Wish I worked with some nice people!! LOL at your DP with the SAHD stuff...
Meg - yes yes yes, I am so sick of that stuff! It wasn't even meant to be about cancer to begin with, it was just supposed to be a "fun game" the first seven times I got that message. The next 17 millions times I got it, it turned into a cancer thing... sigh!
How's your sister??
Holly - wooooooooooo, yes I'd say that's a sleep through! How fantastic for you When's settlement on the new house?
Hi to everyone else!!
I'm off to work tomorrow... trying to get everything sorted tonight before going to bed... waiting for nappies to dry (was it not hot enough to dry them today? Apparently not!)... bed soon... stress stress...
OP chicken i will be thinking of you tomorrow!!! you'll be fine, whos looking after DD??
DD seems to vary what time she goes down , just to confuse me and vary up her day
but it seems to be that shes up for around 3-3.5hours today it was only 3 hours.
Good luck tomorrow OP - be thinking of you. for your sleep issues with DD. I've found the BB not working so good either of late. I'm scared about what it means when it won't work at all I noticed your new av in an old thread the other day - you look hot!!
Olive - We sound like we've got the same child!! Each day a little different and often better sleeps when out for shorter trips of 1-2 hours. We've had a much better night tonight - only one feed about an hour after he went down and haven't heard from him since. Its so random cause he only had a 40 min sleep this afternoon and was just as tired as yesterday and it's even more hot today, yet he sleeps??? (so far anyway....). Maybe the tooth is having a half-time break??
We've had a better day here too. No panadol so far today (first p-free day in about the last 4). How long can a tooth take to cut through? We can just see this one, and can feel it (it's so sharp!) but it doesn't seem to be coming up and he won't let me look for long enough to see closely whether it's cut through or not. I suspect not though.
Shell, glad you found work okay! Lol at dp not wanting to be a sahd - of course not!
Kaz, hope you have a better night tonight!!
Olive, glad M's sleeps were decent today, here's hoping she does a good night tonight! Re day sleeps...L's vary as well. He has 2 or 3 day sleeps that can be 20mins to an hour, usually averaging around 45mins though. He is up for about 3 hours before going back down.
OP, love the avvy! Thinking of you tomorrow and hope the nappies dry overnight.
AFU, it was my grandma's birthday today so we all went out for dinner (Chinese). L was very well behaved and sat in his pram and ate fried rice! He did start to get cranky after a while which is to be expected, so I took him for a walk around the block a few times and he fell asleep and I was able to get back to dinner and he slept the rest of the time until we got home (we walked home). Then he had some fruit from the pavlova for dessert and he enjoyed that with a bit of cream. So all in all, a good night!
Re the house: settlement in on the 9th of April, however, DP's mum who is funding it, is going to ask the realestate agent to extend the date until the end of April as she wants to reinvest her term deposit which ends at the end of this month (and where the house money is currently sitting) for another 3 months. Not sure if they will allow this, but would be good if they could as this means she'll have more $$ thanks to interest to cover stamp duty. Nonetheless, it will be sometime in April. So exciting!!
Also, last night L was pretty good, not as good as the previous night, but he slept without needed to suck on bbs as much as usual! Normally he needs to continually suck throughout the night as it makes him content I suppose, but it is such a drainer on me as I like my space and want to face the other way sometimes! At the moment he has been asleep for about an hour and a half without stirring or having bbs, so pretty impressive! Might be the start of something new and good?
Anyway, hope you all had a great weekend. Off to sleep now xox
Hello we are back from our trip,
Wow so much to catch up on,

AFM- Well We had some pretty crappy nights down at the van and L would wake with the sunrise, clapping and chatting away, I should of sent him out with the boys fishing!!!
He is into everything, and seems to be such a mummy's boy! L has also started to bite me on my shoulder when he is upset!have been saying no quite firmly & placing him on the ground which breaks his heart but think it is workinng!!! He is so diferent to Abbey, who was an angel until she was 2!!

AFM last night went well until 4.30am! she woke at 1.30 only had to resettle once then woke at 4.30am, i gave up resettling at 6.15am been up since 4,30am, she's already had a sleep hoping it doenst stuff up our day now, looking forward to seeing S, its been 2 days, the longest i havent seen her for in her whole life! oh and DH is on his way home!!
Kaz- 10 wake ups!!! Your eyes must be popping out of your head. Is J's tooth hurting you when you when you bf??
Olive- That was my day yesterday. Started at 4:45 when she had woken 3 times the night before. This morning I was prepared though JIC! I got a box last night and filled it with some toys, books, a remote, other things that she likes and had it ready to go in her room.
This morning she woke up at 6am (so not as bad) but I was still tired so I fed her and then she wanted to crawl all over me adn pull my hair and was obviously wide awake so I put her back in her cot with the light on, put the box of toys in the cot and a sippy cup of water with her and shut the door.
I ended up going back to sleep and she was playing nicely until about 7:30 when she started to call out for me. I felt much better getting out of bed at 7:30am.
Bad parents... but nothing we tried would settle her, even the BB...
When's settlement on the new house?
