Jols- hope M is better soon. She has had quite a bad run with her ears from memory?
OP- I am scared to take DD for her 12mth jabs. Heard tey are a nasty lot! Might do it next week on the Wed arvo after I finish work so I am home with her for the rest of the week in case she needs lots of mummy cuddles after them. I think Nai said J had a bad reaction?
ETA- Jols we are normally one sleep. On CC days she only does 50 minutes the whole day But at home its a big 2 hour sleep.
AFM- This is a bit of a whirlwind week. Had a great night out for DD's birthday and then the party is this Sunday. I it doesnt rain as it is supposed to be in our backyard!!! My big woo hoo is I got to co-sleep with DD last night. First time in months!!! I got her out of her cot at about 11:30pm and wrapped her in a blanket and we cuddled in my bed and she stayed asleep until 6:15am. I didnt sleep as well but I missed those snuggles next to each other so much. Just melted my heart

Yeah Ali I have heard that too... I'm home all afternoon tomorrow after the jabs with her, so I can give lots of cuddles too if required...
Confession, I did think about sending her down with my MIL but I couldn't do it - I need to be there for it.
Olive - we have sometimes only had one sleep, generally when she has woken late (8am-ish) and then doesn't sleep til 12ish, which then becomes too late for a second sleep. She doesn't handle it too well yet so I think she's really still a two sleeps a day bub.
DD hated the ABs we had to give her (force down her throat more like it) when she had an infection... hoping you have better luck with M.
from memory with the MMR vax, the reactions generally appear 7-10 days after the jab, DD1 had a mild reaction, covered in spots and miserable about a week after
Still lurking...through all day sickness...stuffed back...and so so tired...9 weeks to go!!!
We just had friends stay with their bub who had one year old vac 2 weeks ago and he came down with fever and rash while he was here....not nice poor bubba! Anika is having hers next friday...not looking forward to it at all!
Thanks guys. He had a pretty good day today after a rough one last night (he slept in til 9am as an indicator and only woke up cause I was in there taking photos (born at 8:53am!). He got very stimulated by more presents this afternoon and a visit from the dotty next door neighbour at dinner time but he was having lots of fun!
Olive - Poor M!! It must be hard to see her sick. Good luck with the ab's - hope she makes a quick recovery. DS did a few one sleep days last week but he's been back to two shorter ones (an hour or so each) this week.
Lilima - hope that tooth comes down quick smart.
Ellie - 9 weeks is not long to go!!!
Ali - Thank you so much darl! That was a wonderful surprise in the post today. DS will love them! Yay on the co-sleeping cuddles too. you get fine weather this weekend.
We're trying to night wean atm. With the number of wake ups, my nipple damage and my imminent return to work, now that he's 12 months old it's time. DP did all the resettling last night - he wouldn't let me get out of bed between 11pm and 6:30am. He is awesome! Lets see what tonight brings......
Kaz- how did last night go? Yeah its quite hard work when you are getting up in the night. Its tiring enough. When do you start back?
Ellie- oh wow, 9 weeks to go. Thats gone quick, well prolly not to you after all the morn sickness you went thru.
Ali- thats nice, I love co sleeping with Emily, didn't do it with Ash and wish I had. you pretty much prepared for party? They're hard work, hope weather is good.
Olive- 2 sleeps still for us, usually bout 1.5 each, so diff to how Ash was. How is Millie?
Emily is starting to get quite moody now when things dont go her way or she gets really frustrated, started throwing things when they aren't working for her. Funny today took them to the park and she started following this magpie around then when she got bit close for my liking picked her up and oh god she screamed and screamed, never seen her have such a tanty!
Kaz - so sorry for missing J's birthday. Hope he had a great day.
Ellie - only nine weeks - wow that's flown by.
Olive - some days it's one sleep around midday, other days it's two short, two long, no patterns here.
AFU - I've lost track of everything lately... guess it's too many nights gonig to bed at 2am and getting up at 6am (with baby waking in between) and this from the girl who never used to be able to function without 12hrs sleep! Should get this book edited soon.
Well last night was awesome!! He fed at about 11:30pm but had been down for about 4 hours without a peep. Then he went until 5:30am!! DP and I both woke thinking the other had done heaps of re-settling without the other one waking but since neither of us heard him he mustn't have woken
So far tonight has been good - down at 7:15pm and woke about half hour ago for feed. Feeding still hurts a fair bit and he bit me twice (both nipples for good measure) at the bed time feed so he didn't get it!!
Shell - Yeah DS is starting to chuck some good tanties when he doesn't get what he wants - screaming like you wouldn't believe, arching his back, hitting me etc. It's full on. I can SO wait until he has language to go with it
Malyna - Oohh sounds like your book is nearly there. Very exciting!!
I have a major tanty thrower here too! If she doesn't get what she wants she throws herself on the ground and screams like a banshee.
DP actually put Miss J to bed the other night with a bottle of milk - so no BB at all and she slept the whole night! Now that I know it can be done it might be the start of a bit more freedom in the evenings for me - Yay!
