Wasn't the night for sleeping babies at our house... *sulks*... just kidding, on the sulking anyway...
Heaven, Det, that is awesome that your little wakey babies had good nights last night! May it be the start of something fantastic
AFU, we went to church, trying to see if the new 6pm service time will work for us, well it was a loooong service and we didn't leave til quarter to eight, by the time we got home and attempted to get DD settled it was after 8pm, she's normally out for the count by 7pm... so she carried on a bit grizzling off anf on, then arked right up at about 9pm, DH went and settled, she was quiet for half an hour, then cracked it again, this went on til after 11pm
And then awake at 5am. Unusual for her... and after our big weekend of pahtees DH and I are both wrecked today. Really hoping we get a good night tonight...
Something I meant to ask before - how is everyone going with food ATM? DD seems happy enough to eat whatever during the day, not too fussy, fruit, bread, yoghurt, snacks like museli bars etc, but dinner we are really struggling. We usually try and give her whatever we are having, but she has just been refusing everything, including eggs and baked beans (not at the same time but they are our two stand bys that she normally always eats...). The last couple of nights we have basically put her down with only a few mouthfuls of food and then her normal BF.
Anyone else experiencing this right now? Or maybe its her teeth - I think she's got another couple of molars on the move?
i am unwell, In fact, now i htink about it, I have been unwell for about 2 months now, but yest had a raging temp and slept for 15 hours. I have problems with my thyroid. I think it is time I went back to the DR. I know they will want to take it out, but I don't want to be on thyroxine for the rest of my life.
Kids are OK. E is still waking a bit in the night, but generally I jsut ignore her.
J is still not himself since his Op, but I live in hope that he will behave himself some time soon. Today he has been bouncing off the walls - my mum gave him some chocolate cake yesterday - that would be what has him bouncing....
OP - we posted at the same time - J did this at about the same age, and alas, he still does not like eating dinner....
I have given up, if he eats, he eats, if not...... well he has to wait till breakfast.
well we sort of fell of the 1st page so i thought id best bump us back up!!
i have to admit ive had some trouble adjusting to the new forum, im not so good with change!! but im getting there.
lilma how is J going?
OP im glad you had a lovely mothers day and birthday! welcome to the dirty thirties!
Heaven how is the sleep going? i love your photos on FB! gorgeous!
det how is A going after his issues?
Ali how is your friend going?
i cant see any further back i hope everyone else is going great!
were ok, M has a cold, snot streams etc.. yuk.. sleep was CRAP last night tonight is going better though!
i took the girls tothe pool on tuesday with mum, after about an hour millie decided to try and take a nap in my arms in the pool :heart: was lovely, she was so relaxed and i think because the pool was so warm it sent her to sleep, we got out after that happened!
Hi girls, I agree this new look BB seems strange. I jumped in here the other day but it looked scary and I didn't have the energy to work out how to navigate so I left again!
Heaven and Det - great news about the improved sleep! I hope it's continued for you over the weekend and into this week.
Shell - Did he make up for last year? I saw on fb he thinks so but what do you think?
Lilima - Sorry to hear you've been unwell. That sucks.
OP - I feel your pain with the constant waking hun except that I think you have it worse being in the third tri and all
Nai - Ouchy!! Hope you can rest it and recover quickly. Sounds painful!
Olive - So cute your DD falling asleep in the pool. What trust!
A big HELLO to everyone else! I think of you all often, even though I'm not in here much.
AFM - Things have continued the same here. The other night he went down at 7pm, woke at 8:30pm, 9pm, 10pm, 11pm and then we were awake with on and off screaming and grizzling between midnight and 2am. We actually let him get up and play for a bit just to stop the crying and screaming Then he slept. I got up at 6 and had to wake him at 7 to get organised and out of the house for work. Last night we co-slept again but I sleep crap when we do that as he wakes me millions of times (it feels like it anyway). DP and I are so incredibly tired. The other day I stopped at a green light!!! This is way worse than newborn sleep and I feel just as tired as I did back then with a heavy PPH!! I am at a point now where, whenever he cries, I cry too and it's really hard to keep responding quickly and with concern . I feel quite depressed but can't work out if it is actual depression or if it's just sleep deprivation on top of the additional mental demands of work. I am so tired I keep forgetting to call the child and family health nurse to book in for a chat. I am seriously considering a sleep school. This can't be normal at 14 months old. He just gets worse the older he gets and it's starting to affect our relationship.

: the screen kept jumping around so I posted and then edited but then it jumped again!
Sorry for the double post, my text box kept jumping up so I couldn't see what I was writing!!
Sorry too for the big whinge/me post. Just wanted to add that DP is awesome! I had an unreal mothers day (apart from cranky baby in the afternoon) with flowers and chocolate and breakfast cooked and no housework and a gift voucher to a fave store! It was great. Also, DS started walking properly on Mother's day. Now he's up all the time and getting eggs on his head from falling down!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF word!!!! I just wrote a mega reply and then accidently pressed the purple reply to thread button above the box to post it and it cleared my msg!!!!! As you can see, not really coping with the new BB! LOL!
Okay quickly.... Kaz- J man was so cute in his drunken walk I had a giggle watching the vid. Hope you guys are well. Det- I hope no more trips to hossy for DS1 or anyone else Olive- Boo to the snot! Hope M is better soon. We have a bit of snot city here. I hate it when she rubs it on my clothes LOL! Nai- So cute with the bubbas int he pool. Hope your back is ok (u 2 Jols) Op- Yay for counting down. How are things with the family and DH? Ellie- Not long now for bubba #2! YAY! Shell- How is your team going? Lilima- Hope you are feeling better.
AFM- Thanks for asking about my friend. Life is getting easier each day but still incredibly difficult for them IYKWIM. They saw the OB today to find out about the autopsy. I have left a msg for her but havent heard back yet if she wants to talk about it. They want to start trying again for another baby by the end of the year as even though they have another DD, their hearts are so empty.
Apart from that life is just busy. Worked 4 days this week so hardly seen DD and my house is a bomb. Chat again soon. I seem to be better at keeping up on FB.
Kaz - the depression/sleep dep thing is pretty similar - Sleep dep is a form of torture!
Nai - babies going to sleep in the pool - can you come and teach Al's swim class? he does the opposite of everyone else in the class!!
OP - I just give Alex what we are eating and if he eats he eats and if he doesn't he doesn't (but I do give him walking food - usually pikelet or something that he can have in his hand while he walks around) But he has all his meals in the highchair at the table... I also found that when he's teething slow cooker meats are his favourite, because they need very little chewing.
Lilliium - sorry to hear u have been unwell.
Okay, I'm putting myself down for Miss Vague award... I'm hopeless...I'm going before I embarrass myself anymore... yikes!
kaz... yes sleep deprivation is a form of torture.. its probably a combo of both hun, i remember feeling the same, as recently as january, have you tried giving him a bottle over night? or a BF?? i know youo weaned but maybe one feed overnight may help him sleep better etc... remember that he isnt with you all the time any more and this may be his way of getting cuddles etc... (please dont take that the wrong way, i dont think i wrote it very well, tired mummy here too ) and feeding offers him your undevided aattention plus a cuddle. a chat with your MCHN is a great idea too
Ali your a busy beaver!! i hope your friend gets some anwsers, sometimes though it just happens have lovely cuddles with miss A tonight!!
malyna we have lamb shanks in the slow cooker tonight and M loved it!! she loves risotto too, piklets a popular too!
We had the opposite nights to you night before was great L did 9 hours and last night between 11pm and 7 am, DD and Ds got up 7 times!!!! Not happy Jan!!
Have a cute story to share too, L is starting to take small steps only on his terms though and very wobbly, he usually walks between Dh and I, or to an object eg couch.. Well the other night we were all in DD's room and he was playing with her toy handbags. L stood up and took about 8 to 10 steps holding the pink handbag!! was a very cute to watch, wish I had it on video... DH was a little concerned that he took his first big lot of steps with a pink handbag!!!
Congratulations Ellie!!! Wonderful news can't wait to read your birth story!!
May it be the start of something fantastic 
but they are our two stand bys that she normally always eats...). The last couple of nights we have basically put her down with only a few mouthfuls of food and then her normal BF.
i hope everyone else is going great!
tonight is going better though!
to all xo
