blah crapish night again :( unsettled from 11.15pm til 1.45am again , had to resort to feeding again then she slept til 6am fed then til 7.30, i swear im being punished :( she was crying about not going to sleep and i was crying about wanting to go to sleep
where is everyone :dunno:
kaz how are you my dear??
nai how was the coffee?
Here I am, lol.
Ellie- Big Congrats!!! Wow time really did fly by.
Olive- that sucks, do u think she has some sort of infection again? You've been so unlucky with sickness with M. You'd think all that BFing would've toughened her up! I really hope she settles for you.
Pinny- Lol, cute tho with little pink handbag! Think he needs cute dress to match.
Ali- yep I'm coming to in your suitcase! I hope your friend gets some answers soon, will be such a stress too ttc again and all that worrying.
Malyna- How is everything with the book going? Has sleep for you improved at all?
Kaz- Have you booked in to see your mchn? Maybe sleep school will be something to try. I hope your mchn can give you some great suggestions cause for your health and wellbeing it sounds like you need it. :hug: I look forward to the day you say how great you are all sleeping.
Emily has nice big bruise on her head, she keeps climbing on everything it seriously drives me nuts, she will climb on whatever she can. I can't remember Ash being this bad with it.
Dinner she won't eat much but rest day she's pretty good. Shes being bit fussy with likes and dislikes.
I'm off to the footy today, go saints! (we're gonna kick bombers arse, lol)
Hi all,
I am around, but not posting of BB so much these days. I don't really know how much longer i am going to stick with BB. I jsut run out of time!!!
I have a huge case of the CBF'd today.
J is slowly getting back to normal. His speech has already improved since the surgery.
Still working on motor skills with him though, as he HTES drawing, and he need to learn for pre writing skills. Also he is a scardy cat, and if thinks that he will remotely hurt himself, he won't do what you want him to do (In regard to gross motor skills)
E is being a bit of a handfull. She just does runners on me. I have to keep her contained in a trolly, or she nicks off. She also stepped in dog poo today. Got it all over both shes and her pants. It was discusting. She too is a climber, and I have to watch her as she end up on top of everything.
OK she is still asleep, so must start preparing dinner while there is a quiet moment. Nothing flash - just home grown carrots and potatoes with some peas and a rost chicken.
Oh and one last thing - E tries to say "go Roo's." DH is very proud
great to hear J's speech is improving lilima!! have you tried getting some chalk and drawing outside on pavers/concrete etc.. for something different? ir finger painting??
lol at the climbing, im lol because i have a climber too!
yuk at the dog poo :sick:
shell GO BOMBERS!!!! :lol: eggs seem to be the norm for these kids at the moment!
how much are all the kids talking? M understands heaps but isnt really talking, can say mum dad dadda mumumummmmm etc.. barks and meows but that really it!
Haha "Go Roos" - well done E!!
Well it looks like we are weaning - Miss J has not had a feed for 2 days and hasn't asked for one :( Feeling a bit sad but she was driving me crazy so I think it is time. 15 months almost so it's a pretty good innings.
grr just typed out a big post on my fricken phone and the page refreshed by itself erasing everything! It takes me forever using my phone!
Anyway, hellooo all - it's been ages i know but i just never get the time to post. I keep up to date with you all on fb anyway.
Not much to report suprisingly! L is taking a few steps at a time but not walking properly yet. We still cosleep and he bfeeds several times day and night. Major tantrums are happening, he's a fiesty little boy! Is not eating very well, hoping it's just a phase...often i think he must go to bed so hungry, but then again if he were starving he'd eat right?? He understands so much now it's amazing how fast they learn. I still haven't got af back - what about you all? It's been almost exactly 2 years since i've had my last period - i'm not complaining though!
Anyhoo, gtg as i'm on my phone and this typing is killing me! Lol. I'll hop on the computer tomorrow and catch up properly xx
awwwwwwww nai :( i dread that day
great to hear from you holly!! im hating the tanties :( but yay on the walking/steps!
M is still waking twice a night :( once for a resettle and once for a feed, tired...
Olive, when you typed that "where is everyone?" post I was trying to write a reply on my phone... much like Kailani it got lost and I got frustrated and went to bed instead, LOL. I'm such a rager these days... this weekend I was in bed 8.30pm Fri, 10pm Sat and Sun. :lol:
I don't even know if the Bombers won... must go look it up. Tried to decipher it from Shell's post on FB but could not...
This new format still messing with me a bit - currently typing in the "Go Advanced" reply mode and I can't see the right-most section of what I'm writing, the cursor just disappears under the smilies! Most confusing.
Olive - grr on the bad sleep still. You poor thing, must be so hard. DD has been sleeping well for once ATM, which I am so appreciating. Last night I went to the loo at about midnight, then didn't get out of bed til about 6am which was lovely. Was busting by the stage though :lol:
You asked about words too - DD's vocab is amazing, we are impressed - she says Man-ma for Grandma, Nanna, A-bel (for herself, so cute), Boo for book or boob (lol), Moo for milk, Bo-bo for botle (as in water bottle) and Moh for more. Also says "tur-tle!", "up" if she wants to be picked up, "nown!" if she wants to be put down, "off" if she's trying to get into her toybox... Sometimes she says things and I'm like "what are you saying?" but other times she's clear as a bell.
Maybe that's because I talk so much?? :lol:
Kailani - clearly AF came back for me :D Aaaand now it is gone again :D Prob when L stops feeding as much as he still is (if he ever does hehe) it might come back then?
Aww Nai - that's a bit sad, but I agree - definitely a good innings! DD almost didn't want a feed this morning and I was thinking "Is this it?" but then she had one so maybe not quite yet. But I do get the feeling that she's not as keen anymore.
Lilima - great that J is getting back to normal. I know what you mean about getting onto BB - I can only really get on and spend time catching up when I am at work, which is terrible, I am a bad employee. No I'm not bad exactly, I am just not motivated to do anything at work. Why would I be?? Anyway...
We have a little climber too. Every time I turn around she's found something else to hoist herself up on. The other day she tried to stand on a box of blocks (the red little box with the yellow lid, that you put the shaped blocks through the shaped holes?) which is clearly not big or stable enough to stand on, I told her no and pulled her off, went into the kitchen and she got back up onto it then pulled a whole box of toys over onto herself when she fell off the box. Sigh. At least she might learn now NOT to climb on that particular box. :rolleyes:
Ali - yay on your holiday! I want to go to Fiji!!!!!!! Maybe if DH's work is going well we might be able to go early next year... sigh, so far away! Have you started a count down yet??
Kaz - you poor thing on the sleep. I don't think sleep school would hurt - the worst that could happen is you go, they tell you something you don't want to hear, so you leave. Otherwise it might be really beneficial! You can't keep existing on so little sleep. :hug:
Woooo for Ellie!! I was wondering if she'd popped yet! Did I reply to the BA? Might have to go check it out...
Pinny - LOL at the handbag! Too cute!
Hi to everyone else!!
Update from me - not much to update except I pulled a rib out apparently so now I feel justified for whinging about my back hurting! So now I'm trying to find a good osteo to go and see... apart from that, counting down til I finish work, looking forward to the Melb dinner on Fri night (with a bit of trepidation I must add hehehe) and struggling through each day. I'm generally exhausted by 3-4pm ever day... ahh the joys of late pregnancy!
Hope everyone else is going well!!
Oh yay, Bombers won!!!! Woo!!! :confetti:
Bit slow on the updake here...
I just wrote out a long reply and lost it cause I hit the purple reply to thread button!!! :wall: I made comments for everyone too :( Now I CBF'd and have run out of time :(
Thinking of you all girls. Great to hear your news. Congrats to Ellie!! Well done hun!
No real improvements in sleep here. We're seeing the CFHN later this week but I don't have a lot of faith in sleep training so my hopes aren't very high. We've been away for the weekend without DP so am really tired. DS has another cold now too so we're off to the doctor soon.
Hello all! It's freezing here today! Terrible night last night. I thought something was seriously wrong with DD but I think it's just teething. This is the worst we've had it yet. She's getting 2 top molars at the same time. She woke at 10.30 and screamed like she was in so much pain for an hr. NOTHING would calm her, we tried all her favorite things. Eventually DH took her outside and she stopped and was calm enough for me to feed her to sleep. Booby usually fixes everything, and a bath always cheers her up but not last night. There's nothing else I can find wrong with her and today she has red cheeks with a bit of a rash on them. :( Poor baby. Apart from that sleep was going great, we were getting 6 hr stretches and then another 3-4 which is absolutely amazing for her!! As you all know! She has been a shocker with sleep since she was born, lol.
Now to catch up!
OP- you asked about food. DD is the same. Eats a lot during the day but not too fussed on dinner. I want her to eat more at dinner so I know she's not hungry during the night but nope, won't have it!! Even stuff she usually likes. I think I might be giving her a snack too close to dinner but I can't hold her out til dinner, she's always hungry just a bit earlier. Maybe I need to move dinner earlier and then give her a light snack before bed, hmmm... but then she wouldn't eat with us.
lilima- how are you feeling? Being sick for a couple of months isn't good!!
Kaz- sorry to hear sleep isn't much good there atm, I can totally sympathise. I have no suggestions though, only night weaning has seemed to improve things for us and you've already done that haven't you?
Ellie- I posted in your BA thread but CONGRATULATIONS again!!!!!!!! Two little girls now, what a blessing :hooray:
Ali- I have missed something about your trip?? Was it on FB? How could I have missed it? lol. I keep up with most of you on FB way better than here! It sounds awesome though, swing by here and pick me up on the way ;)
Pinny- pmsl at DS's first steps with a pink handbag :rofl: so cute.
Shell- yep, climber here too. And we have tiles everywhere so it's not fun when she falls!! She keeps getting on her bike and standing up on the seat and rocking it and then standing up with no hands. Recipe for disaster. When I tell her 'no' she just does it anyway or has a tantrum bc I told her no, lol.
Olive- You asked about talking...DD has recently just taken off with it. She understands so much and now she's starting to just say new things all the time. She listens intently and watches my lips when I say something and next thing I know she's saying it. She really only said mum and dad and puppy for ages and it's just the last few weeks all these new words have come out. So, let me think, she now says: Mum, Dad, Puppy, Nan, Harry, put on (for shoes, hat, etc), more and done WRT food, boots, ball, ticka ticka (when tickling you), pool, pooh (as in, winnie the pooh), no, pillow, ta, get down, bye bye, no-na (yoghurt apparently??), booey (booby), bird, duck, bath, bow noe (blow nose, whenever I go to the toilet she comes in saying 'bow noe!!' and gets some toilet paper to blow her nose, pmsl), here! (when playing peek-a-boo), bess (for 'bless you'), baby, nana (banana). That's all I can think of. There are a few things she says a lot that I haven't worked out what they are yet. That does seem a lot now I've written it down but it's literally only been in the last few weeks, talk about language explosion alright!
Nai- Oh, how sad, but at least it's her decision!! That's great!! We are no where near weaning here, lots of feeds still, boobyholic.
Kailani- I just got AF back 2 wks ago!! Thought it was never going to come but it must have been the night weaning that was enough to get it back. DD is still feeding around 5-7 times a day though!!
Looks like I spoke too soon - she wanted a feed this morning :D
:lol: nai!!
OP you type too much :lol: you too heaven!
we have that same red toy/shape sorter too, im surprised m hasnt tried to stand on it!!
im glad sleeps going better!!
heaven, wow lots of words!! M understands heapsm has down for ages, but doesnt feed the need to talk!! doesnt really need too with a big sister!! how is G this morning??
M has ANOTHER ear infection :shakehead: cant believe it :(
one the bright side i got to see Pinny and L today :D
Kaz- I did the exact same thing last time I posted. So frustrating. great to hear from you.
Olive-Thumbs down to another ear infection. Hope it doesnt last long.
Heaven-Yep we are going in September so cant wait.
Nai- You have done so well. I guess she will just finish when ready
Hi to everyone else.
My poor baby has been so clingy and whingy lately and waking heaps at night and I just saw today she has cut 2 top molars plus another top and bottom tooth (so 4 teeth coming through at once). Poor little poppit. DD hardly says any words :( Its more just dadada, occasionally mum, for up she just makes the quick 'p' sound with her arms in the air (LOL). She dos kind of sing row row row your boat but saying "row, row, row" and a bit of mumble jumble. I guess she will talk eventually and hopefully be less frustrated.
Olive - That totally sucks DD has another ear infection. You must be so over it! I hope she gets better soon.
Heaven - Wow that's heaps of words!! DS has just started in the past week to add more than just mum, dad, nan, & bub. I asked him to pick up his socks this morning and he said "ok" clear as and then picked them up! Apparently he also said his name today too. There are heaps of words coming every day now. I only tend to hear them once though!
Nai - Whoot!! maybe not weaning after all :)
Bella - Oh man 4 teeth at once! I can't imagine. Poor bubba! :hug:
AFU - Just had to come in here tonight and do a little happy :dance: DS slept for 11.5 hours last night :leap: :leap: :leap: It's the longest stretch he's ever done and I can't remember the last time he "slept through" before now. He is sick, didn't eat much dinner and I was expecting a rough one but got 8 hours of uninterupted sleep!!!! I actually went and checked he was still breathing this morning. Got fingers crossed for tonight but not holding much hope. It's way too much to expect it two nights in a row. My secret? Nurofen! First time he ever had it in his life was last night. Pity I can't give it to him every night ;)
Meg- Glad to hear J is on the mend, has taken its time hasn't it. Hope you find some free time to pop in here, we will miss you otherwise! How cute on the go roos thing, lol.
Holly- yeah we get tantrumns here, tiny things can set her off sometimes. When do you move house or have you done so already? Our poor saints can't believe we blew our chance last year. Wonder if we'll pick up again, hoping its just a slump.
Op- yes bloody bombers did win, not happy! Lol. I'm not surprised you are so exhausted, so much harder being preg with #2, I think I felt more tired at the end of my pregnancy than I did after she was born. When do you finish work? How many days left?
Kaz- Hope you're getting some sleep there.
Olive- With all these ear infections are they planning to do anything about it? Will you need to see an ENT or something or just hope this is the end of it? No wonder you're so tired, and when they're sick it always seems to stuff up there sleeping.
Nai- Hope you get a few more BF's out of her. DD1 was this age when she weened, was quite sad.
Heaven- How is she doing today? Poor thing, its horrible when they won't settle. You feel so lost then. I'll keep the fresh air in mind next time one of the girls is upset, see if it works for me.
Ali- Those molars are a pain aren't they, Em always gets terrible teething poo too and that upsets her more I think. Don't worry Em doesn't say all that much either, she says some things that I think are words but she does understand things so I'm not worried.
Took DD1 to Wiggles concert this arvo, she seemed to enjoy it, was nice for her to have a day just her and I, got my mum over to look after Emily so took our time out, had maccas for lunch, so Ash had lovely day.
Emily getting cheeky, took them to the park yesterday and she kept trying to wander off, would look at me laugh then wave and run off! Then when I'd say no she'd crack it and would start all over again.
Kaz, you posted when I did, woohoo on the sleep, I hope you are mentally and physically feeling a little better for getting a decent night for a change. Hopefully one good night leads to more.
