Det- good to hear from you! sounds like things still hectic there but slowly getting better. Hope you're getting some sleep or you still up at ungodly hours of the night?
Ellie- Congrats again on Tehya! It can be very tiring with 2 littlies but things will settle, take one day at a time, does A still have day sleeps? Hoping they sleep at same time so you can have a lay down.
Olive- I hope they say she needs grommets too, how many times does she have to get sick with same problems before4 they do something. It seems like your whole year has been filled with ear infections!
OP- Sorry to hear she has weaned, it is sad when that journey comes to an end. Has she had anymore feeds since you posted? Its alot at once for you with her, weaning and going into big girl bed, be nice if we could keep them as our little babies. Well I guess we'll always see them as that!
I hope you got to go to the movies sunday, yeah they can be annoying, Df always just announces he is going out but I have to give notice usually so he knows to plan it in his life!
-
Morning ladies,
Olive - :hug: hope the ENT give you some answers and they look seriously at grommets. How much can they expect one little bub to endure? Not to mention her exhausted mumma. Really feel for you right now, wish there was something more I could do for you!
Shell - yep, managed to get to the movies on Sunday. Was so nice to have an afternoon off, even if I was extremely wriggly the entire way thru due to my sore back :( But it was still nice. I did a few shopping things while I was there which was nice without having to wrangle a pram and a kid with me!
Det - so bummed I didn't get to see you yesterday! Again!! Never mind, we will get there at some point.
AFM: not much more to update. Went to the osteo last night, she tried to pop my ribs back into place as she was unhappy with the lack of improvement, which freaked me right out - such a loud cracking noise! But it is still really sore today so :dunno:
DD still seems to be doing well in the big bed (touch wood!) and hasn't figured out she can get out yet (double touch wood!). Shell you are right - lots of big changes, weaning, big bed... its all happening too fast :(
But only 5wks give or take til new bubs so I guess its a good thing!
-
Hey girls - wow there's so much to catch up on!
Ellie - Congrats again hun!! lol at your DH, he must have forgotten what he was in for!! Hope everything is still going well and you are enjoying all the newborn cuddles!
Malyana - Whoot on your new car!! Great stuff.
Det - Great to hear from you - glad that there is some light at the end of the tunnel with all the ops and stuff.
Lilima - :o at the car who hit you and didn't stop! That's full on. So glad you are ok though.
Ali - :hug: hope you're having a good time tonight. It sucks when they fall. DS has done the same thing in the bath with me right there too. He constantly has eggs and scrapes now.
olive - I really hope DD2 can get grommet or some kind of treatment. I've lost count of the number of ear infections and problems you guys have had now. You must be so over it and your poor DD in pain all the time. :hug: for your sleep situation too. It's not fun.
[COOLR="darkred"]Nai[/COLOR] - Hope DD2 has gone back to sleeping through. It's hard when you've got to go to work the next day and you feel like you've been up half the night!
Shell - Glad you had a good night out! Your footy comments on fb always make me smile!
Heaven - Love your photos hun! You are seriously talented with a camera and I am so tempted to buy it off you so I can learn to take great shots like that! Do you edit them at all?
OP - Sending you a massive :hug: I think although it makes rational sense that your DD has weaned now and it's "good timing" in one way, emotionally is always a different story. I have been feeding DS through pain for the past 2 months just about (mostly only once a day) because I don't want to wean him. Rationally for me it would make sense to wean but I just don't want to yet so I think I know how you feel. It's great that she's going well in the big bed! Hope it lasts for you.
Who else did I forget? I know there'll be someone - hello Pinny, Kailani and anyone else!
AFU - I don't want to jinx myself but we've had a pretty good week with sleep. Still not perfect but such a huge improvement on where we were at. I'm really hoping it lasts and continues to improve. I actually feel more like a normal human being now! Thanks for reading all my constant whinging in here too girls :hugs: It really did help me retain some sanity!
-
Hi Everyone!
Kaz - Yay on the sleeping - I hope it has been contuinuing to be good for you and that Mr J has turned the corner. It just makes such a huge difference when you get a few nights of unbroken sleep.
OP - how is your back today? Has I being staying in her big bed? DD1 took about 6 months before she realised that she could get out of hers - I don't think Miss J will take that long once she gets into a big bed. She is nowghere near ready though yet as she still rolls all over the cot - she would be falling out a couple of times a night!
Olive - how is Millie's ear? Have you been tot he ENT yet? Fingers crossed you get some results and you can get it fixed :(
Meg - How is everything with you? I have to get a new avvy too now that Miss J is walking - I have to think of something good to have in it.
Ellie - good to hear from you! How are you coping with the 2 girls? I agree that your DH just needs to suck it up!
Det - Good to hear from you too! I hope your FIL's op goes okj and that that is the end of hospiatl visits for you for a long while!! You have had such a rough trot!
Malyna - Yay on the new car - I bet you are loving it! Our car has been away for the last 2 weeks getting fixed from all the hail damage from the big storm - I hope it's back soon.
AFU - I think that Miss J has weaned, actually I know she has weaned and I'm probably still in a bit of denial :( She hasn't had a feed since Sunday and wakes up now asking for "bobble" - a plastic object has replaced my bb's in her affections. I guess it had to happen some time.
-
I CAN NOT KEEP UP!!!
lol just popping me head in once again, hope all is well with everyone xxx
-
RR :hug: hun hope your ok, bet you cant wait for QLD!!!
Nai is J definatly weaned, has she been back for a feed since youo last posted??
OP was awesome seeing you and nai last friday night!! you both look fantastic, i still cant believe your having another baby!!
Kaz i hope like mad the sleep has stayed great! how is work going??
shell what ya been up too floss??
Pinny i hope L is on the mend :( poor bubba
BBS... off to read the last page!
-
RR - Good to see you hun. Sorry for your loss :hug:
Nai - :hug:
Olive - work is good thanks. I've been enjoying it a lot more the last couple of weeks.
-
Det are all the ops finished with?? i think all the fed bubs have a bad temper!!
lilma i have issues editing as well, go in to advanced edit as that works!
Ali
Ellie how are your girls going??
AFU ........ crap-ola weeks :lol: M is constantly fluidy at the moment, being assessed tuesday for grommets, hearing test monday.. over the servere lack of sleep, though the past few nights have been better re settling but still waking 3-4 times and to top it off i have a sore throat tonight
-
Just popping in to see how everyone's going...I am really struggling to keep up!
I've just got home after a second stint in hospital...OB calling it 'retained product'...yukky made me very sick so had to have a D&C...was a huge mission getting back to hossy with a 2 week old and 15 month in tow but it's all over now...sooooo happy to be home and feeling better thanks to loads of antibiotics :)
-
oh gosh ellie, take care hun :hug:
-
Ellie- Oh god, :hug: glad to hear you are feeling better tho, you must've been so sick. How is it all going with 2 littlies? Getting much sleep?
Olive- I hope the do the grommets for her, its ridiculous how many ear infections she has had they had better do something! Might even help her be alot more settled too if her ears aren't irritating her.
RR- :hug: I hope you're doing ok? Look after yourself. Your holiday will be good for you.
Nai- That end of the road is sad, I always tried to look at it as I'm glad she decided to wean and not me having to make her.
Kaz- How is the sleep continuing?
OP- How is everything your way? Ribs and back? Hope you're nearly finished at work, don't know how you drag yourself in there with all the pains.
I've been lucky found some things dumped outside for hard rubbish so cleaned them up for the girls, Fisher price Dolls house, Little mermaid dressing table and other week I got a plastic seesaw.
-
Very quick one here as can hardley functrion!
E was up for 4 hours overnight. Then slept till 9:30. *sigh*
Ellie - I hope you are ok.
Nai - sad that she weaned, but a new chapter to move on to.
Shell - yay on your find
Everyone else hi!
-
-
Hi everyone,
Olive, oh no on the ear infection. I really hope you get some answers, poor little M.
Meg, hope you get some decent sleep tonight.
Shell, woohoo on the hard rubbish find! Yeah we have moved but I hate it and we're moving again, into dp's dad's house. Can't remember if I mentioned that things turned pear-shaped and mil and her partner and his 2 yappy indoor dogs have moved in with us too. I am hating it so I'm want out. At least dp's dad lives by himself. Living with the inlaws is the only way we are able to save for our own place, and although it's a real pita, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, and I'm grateful!
Eek, Ellie, hope all is well now. I love the family pic on fb - congrats again!
Nai, aw a bittersweet moment. She weaned in her own time, and is a very happy little girl with her "bobble" lol, what more could you ask for :)
OP, woohoo on the big bed. Not long to go now!! DD may get back into bbs when the new one comes along, who knows!
Det, glad to hear the kids are settling in well at school. Good luck to your fil with his op, and what a relief about your mum! Aw Boof's first hair cut - did you keep some?? My mum's still got a small bunch of my hair from my first cut!
Kaz, is J weaning too?? Hope the nights are getting better for you guys.
Hi to everyone else :)
AFU, L has started walking properly a few days ago, still wobbly and prefers to crawl, but he is walking when he feels like it. We started attending a playgroup a couple of weeks ago as sadly our mothers group isn't working out - most of the mum's are back at work and are too busy, however I do see one mum often (we go to playgroup) and another is keen to still catch up so that's good. Anyway, L seems to be enjoying the playgroup. It's one morning a week for 2 hours and morning tea included and there's a facilitator so it's structured, i.e. different activity areas, outdoor play time, morning tea, story time, songs, then go home. It's great!
Has anyone else got a proper toothbrush for their little one? L doesn't seem to mind it, but I don't think I'm doing a great job at brushing his teeth properly. I must admit, I've only just started doing it regularly, even though he's had 8 teeth for a while now. I am really worried his teeth may be rotting from the sugar from my bm as he feeds all the time, and most of the night. Is this likely?? :(
Anyway, I better get some sleep. I'll check back in again soon xox
-
Holly - Yay on the walking. Not so yay on the moving around houses stuff.
OP - Saw on FB you only have a few more working days. You must be looking forward to finishing.
Shell - I don't know what is up with Miss E. She has been waking on and off in the night for the past few weeks.
OK got to go eat breakfast before getting kids ready for playgroup.
-
Hi all,
Lilima - no good on being up for 4hrs the other night!!! That's not good. Hope it has improved since then. Yep, only a few days of work to go, absolutely hanging out...
Kailani - I could have written your exact same post about the playgroup and my mother's group - most back at work on Tuesdays, only two come to the new playgroup now but there are a few others who are keen to catch up every now and then so that will be nice.
Woohoo on the walking! I've got a toothbrush for DD, but we don't fuss too much about how she uses it -most of the time she sees us brushing our teeth and wants to mimic - I don't know if she would understand much more than that at this stage? She sort of chews on it... Surely your BM can't be that sugary and bad for him??? You can hardly be brushing his teeth all night...
Shell - nice work on the finds! You sound like my ILs - they are constantly hitting up garage sales and turning iup with "new" toys for DD, at their house! Its great! We don't have to take toys over any more as they have stacks at their house. They picked up a whole bunch - maybe a dozen?? - of kids DVDs from one sale, Wiggles, Thomas, etc etc - fantastic!
Thanks for asking about my ribs... they aren't good... will update below...
Olive - hope all the appts turn something up for Miss M... :hug: You've had it pretty tough with sleep over the last err 15 months... :hug:
Nai - awww hun has she really weaned?? That's sad, I feel your pain - DD now asks for "moo" when she wakes up, which amusingly is her word for "milk". As in cow's milk, not BB! I really don't think she understands the cow-moo-milk concept, I think she just can't make the "I" sound. LOL
Ellie - :hug: glad you are feeling better hun. Must have been pretty nasty! I should try and find you on FB so I can see some pics!!
RR - hi!! I know what you mean about keeping up, sometimes its just too hard!
Kaz - how's sleep going???
AFU: DD is still going well in the big bed - we had a 5am wake up on Sat morning, took her 1hr to go back to sleep, but then she slept til 7.45am :o Sun morning she didn't stir until 6.45am and this morning not a peep until 6.30am - and that was with both DH and I up and moving around, having showers etc :o
Its a bit scary how well it is going - I keep waiting for it to end!
Still weaned, no sign of wanting BB again. Maybe when DS arrives... who knows? She's teething ATM I think, lots of drool and very clingy yesterday, I think its the canines...
My ribs are still really hurting me - I've seen the osteo three times and she's really disappointed that its not healing -so she's got me booked in with someone else, it was Thursday but I've just changed to tomorrow morning as I am already (treatment on Sat) really sore. It just sucks that it should be treatable and fixable and its just not.
Had a sort of baby shower on Sunday with my closest GFs and my sister, that was lovely - just afternoon tea and some little pressies for the baby. They insisted - just because its #2 doesn't mean its any less important they reckon! How nice!
Apart from all that, finishing work on Thurs (WOOOOOO :confetti: ) so just hanging out for that!!!!
-
OP- That sucks, that stage of pregnancy is bloody hard enough! I hope something gets sorted, maybe finishing work will help too? Maybe just getting that extra rest. I can't remember but is DD in child care or your mum looking after her? Will that continue at all once you finish work? I'm just thinking having a day rest a week would be good for you.
Meg- I hope she starts settling soon then, I wonder whats up, does she take a long time to settle when she does it? How is J doing these days?
Holly- I thought you bought your own place already? Or did that fall thru? Hope living with FIL goes ok, it can be very hard living with others, but you're right its worth the sacrifice to eventually set yourself up somewhre. As for tooth brushing we only sorta started recently, Em is not impressed. Not sure about sugar prob and BM. I think from what I've heard in past its a prob if milk is pooling in mouth?
-
Shell, I wish we bought it - but no, the plan was that mil would buy a house for dp and I to live in while we saved for "our own". She wanted to move to Brissy where her new partner lived and come back to Melb in a few years and sell the house (once we were ready to move!). She gave dp and I the task of house-hunting and choosing a house, which we did - only considering that us 3 would be living there!! I really don't know what happened, but everything went to crap with her moving to Brisbane, and long story short, she and her partner decided to move into the new house. I really can't stand it, but what can I say? She paid for it! I just feel very disillusioned...
re tooth brushing, I just heard of a little boy (about 2 years) that had to have his baby teeth out because they had rotted. It was attributed to the sugar in his mum's bm and he was apparently feeding all throughout the night. Scared the bejesus out of me! I am so paranoid about L's teeth now, and I'm convinced one of the top ones looks a bit yellow :doh:
OP, yeah L kinda chews the brush too and yep, that's my concern - I brush before bed but then he's feeding during the night anyway, and I can't be brushing through the night! LOL. So cute about I and her "moo". Hope she continues to sleep well in her big bed. Ouchies on the ribs - brings back bad memories for me - I had terrible rib pain when pregnant and got meningitis around the same time in the last tri. Hope the osteo session helps tomorrow. Oh and how lovely to have another baby shower - of course every pregnancy should be celebrated!
Lilima, hope you had a good day and enjoyed playgroup.
Hi to everyone else :)
AFU, not much to report...I just have to say, L is still a baldy! He hardly has any hair lol. I've been saying for months now "oh I think it's starting to grow!" and it has "thickened" out a little bit but there's still hardly any there! I love it coz he still looks like a baby :D
Anyhoo, have a good night everyone. I'm not really good at keeping in the loop on bb, but I am always keeping updated with you all on fb even though I might not comment! Loving all the photos too.
xox
