OP M often wakes around that time but so far will go back to sleep (at the moment)

meg how did you go at netball??

ARM M went to bed minus boob and me tonight i was out and she refused a bottle of oat milk, she refused EBM a few weeks back so i refuse to waste any more so oat milk it was, didnt want a bar of it! shocked to say the least!

[Olive]

its me myself and I... again.... or maybe everyone else has a life

[AliBaby]

I feel like such a bad BB. I cant keep up in here.
Kaz- How was J this week hun? Sleep any better? Are you coping okay with lack of sleep and work? Im still on hols until Monday.
Det- Far out! Sending some healng health vibes over to your family
Olive- That is great the M is making mprovements. Your post on FB aout the girls playing together makes me want another. Cant believe she went to bed without milk! How was osteo today?
Shell- Hope you are feeling better? How was the w/e away? Oh and how was the girls night away?
OP and Ellie- Thinking of you both. Being pregnant, working and caring for a toddler just sonds exhausting
Meg- How are you feeling about things/life now? Been thinking of you. Would love to be playing netball. Dont have the fitness.
Nai- How are you hun? Wanted to ask you about swine flu seeming you all had it last year? What do you think about the vaccine?
Heaven- I seem to be better at keeping up with you on FB as I have had a mental blank on what you posted here
Malyna- How is the writing going? I am loving writing in my blog. It is a nice outlet.
Pinny- How are things with you?

I am so sorry to anyone I have forgotten.

AFM- DD still has a runny nose but lungs seem to be clear and no more coughing. Feel like the hols have gone so quick seeming she was sick most of them. Normally its me (like you said Kaz). I have escaped so far!!! I am a little concerned about DD head banging all the time. If I say no, she will find something hard to bang her head on (floor, table, toy) Its really awful to see her hurting herself. I am not thinking autism as she is also very affectionate and will cuddle me, DP, anyone really. I think its frustration but its just awful to see. I really...

[Olive]

ali i know i was surprised too! and she slept til 4am then til 7.30am.
osteo was good, she said there was a huge improvment, back in 5 weeks.

hols always go too quickly dont they, glad A is better not sure about the head banging ,maybe post a thread about it

[Nai]

Ali - both my girls have been headbangers when having tantrums, however they stopped pretty quickly when they realised that it didn't get them anywhere and it hurt them I just ignored them and they grew out of it. I know some kids do it a lot longer but it is generally a phase and pretty common too.

With the swine flu, DD1 had it last year but none of the rest of us got it DP and I have been vaccinated this year but I haven't had the girls done. My friend who is a GP thinks I should but I can't bring myself to do it. I think DD1 will be ok as she probably has some natural immunity now. Miss J was exposed to her so I'm hoping that she also has some immunity.

[shellbell3]

Ali- Do a search cause I know in the past I have seen headbanging threads. I think it can be a common thing and they do grow out of it. I'm guessing its out of frustration because they can't express themselves so well and don't have control over emotions. Not nice for parents tho to watch.

Olive- lol no not preg, thats it for us here!

I am feeling better today but still called in sick to work, not well enuff to rush round on my feet for 8 hours. DD1 at swimming lessons with Df, DD2 in bed, me relaxing peacefully. First day of no heacache or nausea. Might go have cup tea.

[Pinny-mum]

Shell- I hope you feel better soon, I was sick with a virus last weekend and took me ages to shake it, just no energy, headaches and so tired... Not pregnant either!!! Hope you can shake it soon...

Nai- I have not vaccinated against swine flu ewither, but everytime I see it I think maybe i should what does your dr say..?? Mind you still have not done DS 12 months!!

Olive- So sorry could not catch up, just not feeling well enough, all better now. How are the girls??? How was your info night

Ali- Don't stress about he headbanging... I'm sure it's just another stage.. as much as it is hard try and ignore it, she will son realise that she does not get a reaction from you good or bad....Lewis is throwing himself backwards and hitting head on ground when he does not get his own way..must hurt!!

lilma- How is work going?? my boss rang me on Thursay to chat about my position when I go back in september!! It was a wake up call I hadn't even thought about work in months.. I must admit I'm looking forward to being back on two wages!!! The money will be fantastic...

Op- what did your SIL have??? How is the sleeping going?? L is being a bit of a bugger too atm, not sure what is going on..

Det- How is everything going? any more news on DS1??

AFU- I had a massage today it was fantastic!! My best friend organised it and we took it in turns of looking after the kids in the playground over the road.. I have not had one in 8 years!! think I'm going to make it a reguglar thing although i did wonder if i could get Dh to try and do it at home too!! but then decided against it as I'm sure he would have other intentionns when it was over and all i would want to do would be too sleep!!!

[Olive]

although i did wonder if i could get Dh to try and do it at home too!! but then decided against it as I'm sure he would have other intentionns when it was over and all i would want to do would be too sleep!!!

bahahahaha that would be my DH as well

BBL.... small feral child at my feet..

[Muffy]

Olive - Sounds like you havnt had a good run on the sleep front?? but im glad to hear things are improving!! more importantly how are you?

Ellie - you will find with bub no 2, its not as hard as people think.. you still find time to give your other babies what they need

Malyna - hope everythings going ok xx

Det - Whoa... thinking of you and your family, you are definatly going through a rough patch!!!!

Sorry DD just woke up, back to finish later
feels good catching up finally!

[Nai]

My poor little princess had her first nasty fall this afternoon. She face planted into the corner of the coffee table (which unfortunately has 2 corners - one above the other). She has a bruise on her forehead and on her chin and she had blood coming out of her mouth. She was so upset and crying and I was so worried but she came good after lots of cuddles.

[Pinny-mum]

Nai- Poor poppit!! Hope she doesn't have too much of a bruise!!

Olive-- Yep sometimes I think our Dh's are two of a kind!!!

[shellbell3]

Nai- owie, poor little thing. That wouldve hurt! It's awful when they start getting these injuries.

Pinny- massage sounds so nice. I would love to go away to spa retreat weekend and just be pampered! Yeah the virus was quite knock over but feeling alot better today.

RR- how is everything going with you?

Det- how is DS going?

Writting this on my phone, it's lost the post once already!
Loving biggest loser finale! Won't say anything tho if other states are watching.

[Olive]

im away for a few days!!

sorry will do persies when we get back

[Pinny-mum]

Olive- Yay glad your going away.. where are you off too?

[~Kaz~]

Det - Thinking of you and your family hun. Sending lots of healing energy to all!
Olive - Have a great time!!
Shell - Glad you're finally feeling better!
Ali - I wouldn't worry about Autism spectrum problems at this age hun. It's way too early and much more likely to be a reaction to being told no like the other girls said. Ignoring it (hard as that is) sounds like what I would try.
Nai - Sending miss J a big DS fell on the concrete steps off our back porch the other day and it bled. Was horrible when he did it but he cheered up pretty quick.
RR - great to see you hun. Hope all is well for you.
OP - You sound so tired hun. When I'm struggling with DS in the middle of the night I have thought of you doing the same thing with DD but pg as well. You're an absolute champion!

AFU - Got to be quick but in short - nipples still HURT every feed. They're not healing and the left crack seems to be getting bigger. It's been weeks. I don't know why they're not healing, the first time he did this last month it healed within about 10 days DS has become an absolute snot factory the past couple of days too. He always manages to wipe it on me or DP too. So gross! So of course, sleep is pretty rotten here. It never really improved after I went back to work - just got worse! He is down to sleeping only about 30mins in CC. So it doesn't help him but the snot has a lot to answer for too!

Better go, can hear him stirring for a feed. Ouch!

[Pinny-mum]

Kaz- You poor thing about you nipple not healing!! Could you be run down and that is why your body may be taking longer to heal then normal?? How many feeds are you doing now??
I hope you have some snot free days ahead!!! As Olive suggests have you got a vaporiser?? I got one on her recommendation and it was the best money spent, really seems to help L when we have snot about

[Olive]

we didnt go away i ended up with the runs sunday night still have them

kaz there is stuff you can get from the chemist called nexskin (or similar) that acts like a second skin over sores it like a bandaid but better maybe try that.

[AliBaby]

My BF just had her baby. It was still born I am so devestated for them and dont know what to do. I have text her back saying how sorry I am at that I am there for her. I would love to see her but not sure what to do. I have come home from work early as I just couldnt function.

I had a present all ready to go and was chatting to her last night when she was in labour. It just does not seem real.

RIP Little Zara Lilly xo
