Thanks for all thinking of us. 1 tooth has popped through the gum and she has 3 more buldging. Poor poppit.
Friday was shocking, Saturday shocking and today has been half okay but she is just clinging to me so much. Wont let anyone else except DP sometimes (but thats only if she cant see me).
Kaz- How are the beads? I am ordering some this Wed (payday) as I will do anything to stop the pain.
malyna hun you ok, im worried about you. i hope A settled for you.
ali arrhhhh bad few days for ash, we have beads and either they dont do too much for M or she would be worse without them but shes not a good teether.
AFM crap night last night, she woke at 12am and i was still trying to settle at 2am so i fed her, woke at 5.30am DH settled then up at 6.40am, so tired today tooth is still breaking through
Olive- Teething sucks! Dont think I ever understood it until the last week and a half! Looks like another one is trying to cut through!
We were up at 11pm, 2am (I was so tired I didnt hear her, DP bought her in), fed her tried to put her back down and she creamed the house down which is very loud at that time of night, so I bought her in again and just went topless to bed so she could help herself through the night. She woke again at 5am. I didnt sleep at all really as I am paranoid about her crawling off the end of the bed again.
I have had a productive morning though. I have tidied kitchen & dining. Folded up and put away 2 big baskets of clothes and did the ironing for the week. Now I am going to go cook dinner while she is asleep. I always cook in the day as at night I am too tired to do it then! LOL!
And I have to go into work today as have a few things I need to set up in the classroom for this year.
Malyna- I am worried about you too. Is your DH being helpful and supportive? What about family are they around and supportive? Are you in therapy or anything like that? Would you consider going back on meds? What about some occassinal care for A just to give yourself time?
Malyna - how are you today? I wish we were closer so that we could help out Let us know if there is anything at all!!
Ali - I'm glad those teeth are coming through. I hope they are all over and done with quickly. I think we are off the hook for a while until the molars and canines come in - I hope they wait a while!!
My mum is coming down today to help me finish cleaning out the house - only 2 weeks until i goback to work
We have been away down at the caravan again got back late staurday night.
Malyna- Sounds like your having a hard time at the moment, who are your support ppl in your life can you get some much deserved time to your self at all. Big Hus darl, I hope your feeling a bit better today.
Nai- are you going back part time?
Ali- Sounds like you've been very productive!!!
Olive- Sounds like Miss M has not been great with teeth either!!! L and M are 11 months old tonight!!!
Heaven- any signs of teeth yet?
Shell- Another cold day for you!! IS like winter here I even have the heater on!!!
Holly- how is L going?
AFU-
Well MR L has learnt some new tricks over the weekend down at the van... He now pulls him self up to a standing position and even went from abbey's little chair to the couch yesterday... He is also sleeping a bit better, generally not waking betwen 10pm and 5pm!! very good for him.. he has also learnt to dance along to music which he has not done before! Very cute to watch...
I hope everyone has some better days ahead!! We are heading back down to the van over the long weekend.
Ahh I'm so tired today. I can't remember how m any times DD woke last night but it was at least 6!! Put her in bed with us so we didn't have to keep getting up and slept better. But at least I know the cause now, definitely teeth! Number 5 has come through and we're waiting on number 6! Hurry up stupid tooth!!
Heaven - Sounds horrible. I hope you got some rest today.
Pinny - Standing up!! go L!!
Nai - Hope you've had a good day with your mum. Going back to work sucks!
Ali - Hope you got a rest this afternoon darl. I am like that when up early too though - get heaps more done.
Malyna - Hun I wish I were closer to come and give you a break. I get like that when I've been with DS 24/7 for too long. Take care of yourself!
Olive - I hope that tooth comes through for her soon (like now!!!)
GTG get DS out of the bath (in with DP). BBL.
ETA - Not sure how much effect the necklace is having. He's had it on since Thursday but that's the day the tooth finally broke through too. He's continued to whinge and whine a lot though. Dunno why. Don't think it's teeth - possibly frustration that he wants to move and can't yet but some of it seems like seperation stuff too. (Worse when I walk away from him or first reappear. Wants me or DP with him constantly etc). Nights have been marginally better (3-4 hourly waking only) the last couple that I can remember anyway but he still doesn't want to go to bed at 7pm like usual
gosh ali i hope tonight gets better, how did she sleep today?
nai soooo have you cracked the vodka yet oh and miss J is gorgeous with the walker!!
Heaven looks like were all having crapppola nights hope you get more sleep too
kaz DD is like a koala, sooooo clingy its not funny
pinny was great talking to you today! lewis is changing really quickly!
AFU looking like a bad night ahead, M went down at 6.30 and has already woken twice ...sigh.. im so flippen tired after last night and i feel all my hard work from the past week has been for nothing, hoping things dont get back like they used to.
i think its here tooth coming through but she also has bad breath so hoping its not a sore throat, i gave her panadol before bed
Ali - hope you get some sleep tonight - fab job with the house stuff
Nai - I saw the FB video of Miss J - she is amazing!
Pinny - go Mr L with the new moves - he's a mover and a shaker!
Heaven - five teeth.. wow
Kaz -
Olive - hope you get some sleep tonight.
AFM - still feeling crappy and blah still... don't have a support network as such, the last time I trusted people with that (two of my sisters) they used it against me - after I left my ex and was diagnosed with PTSD, but I'll get over it, always manage to haul my sorry butt up the steep hill of life somehow.
malyna why dont you talk to your MCHN about some outside support networks.
we had a crap night again, tooth has broken through, but man if all the teeth are like this im in trouble!!
she went down after the 2nd wake up til 3.30 then was unsettled til she woke for the day at 6.20, i made DH go to her a few times as she settles better for him
S is at mums tonight and im going out for a drink and a poke (pokies, were feeling old now ) with a friend
Olive- I was saying same thing this morn, 2nd tooth has just come thru and been a nightmare for both. Have fun tonight, I love having a night at the pokies, rarely get to tho.
Malyna- Maybe look into some type support group?
Kaz- Emily is quite clingy too, last few days I have seen improvement tho, but we had terrible times. I used to just sit on the floor that way she was happy she could play and I still be right there.
Pinny- thats great with the sleep, good solids space there.
Nai- how many days will you work when you go back?
Well here we have been clearing out our house of crap, plus starting to clear out alot baby stuff seeing as thats it for us! Put some stuff on e-bay.
Oh and I have Finally moved Emily out of my room! I miss seeing her cot in there already tho. I feel bit sad I won't wake up to her cute face there.
HI girls.. back from the MCHN visit. Alex hasn't put on any weight since his last visit... the nurse suggested I go see a counsellor and gave me the idea of putting alex in his cot and sitting in the same room as him for him to settle.. trouble is he is crying his little heart out now (well actually screaming the house down). I've tried the nice way to explain to her that the reason I'm depressed is because I don't get a decent night sleep but she doesn't seem to get it. So I have to visit her again on the 9th feb to see if Alex has put on any weight.
I posted a video on FB showing how fast he moves with his walker, he's been on the go since he was 6mths.. I really am ready to scream at the MHCN but she wouldn't listen. I think i'll ring tomorrow and go and see a different nurse, perhaps one with children.
Sorry am very annoyed at the nurse.. and I'm over going to bed at 7.30 and staying awake til 2am so I can have a few hours to myself (although i can't leave the mattress)... I&*&&)&)&^%%
Pinny - yep I'm going back 3 days a week to work and doing half a day swimming teaching so 3.5days all up.
Kaz - Mr J sounds just like Miss J was about a month ago! She has been so much better the last week or so - it does pass!!
Olive - haven't cracked the vodka yet (for those who don't know - I found a full bottle at the back of the pantry when I was doing teh spring cleaning. Made it all worthwhile really ). Miss J thinks she is so clever with her walker!
Malyna - I hope you get a better MHCN tomorrow who will listen to you.
Malyna- Def ask to see someone else. I wish I could come and give you a hand or just take Alex off your hands so you could have some time for yourself. I'll send you a PM as I dont have you on FB. I shouldnt really be one to talk as I am not a professional but I dont think Ashlyn has put on any weight in the last month but I put it down to all the crawling, pulling herself up and walking with her walker. All of that would be burning a lot more of the baby fat.
Shell, Kaz & Jols- I think this teething thing is def the link between bad sleep!!! Arrrh hope it eases soon.
We are also going through seperation stuff as well. Its so exhausting. Throws herself back if I pass her to someone else.
DD also has an obsession with nectarines (she says thanks Nai for giving mummy the idea to give me a nectarine) and blueberries! Far out! At least its healthy I suppose.
Still having lots of night wakes but at least I am on holidays so I shouldnt complain.
