Thanks Nai - that's exactly what I needed to hear. I'm happy to spend more time on the floor with him encouraging movement cause I've probably slacked off there a little and just put him down with toys and leave him to it but I think a physio sounded a bit OTT. I was a bum shuffler when I was a kid!!
Kaz that's just crap! Sounds like scaremongering to me! I asked L's mchn about L's progress, as he isn't sitting yet and she said not to even worry about it until he's 12 months. All in good time they say! Fingers crossed for your thesis feedback!
L has really starting rolling everywhere though, to the point I think I need to get another bed rail for the other side (I've found him upside down on the edge of the bed, half way down the bed on the opposite side to where I put him down!)
Thanks for the tips re swimming. Yeah hopefully he will get used to it soon!
Ellie, glad Miss A is used to the curls! Hope the MS eases, seeing as you;re heading into the second tri now.
Olive, poor M! (And you!). Hope the ear infection clears up soon. Must be so painful, poor thing.
Nai, too true re crawling - Kaz I wouldn't be suprised if one of our lazy boys (J and L) didn't crawl at all!
Anyway, off to bed now. So tired! Have a good week everyone xox
Kaz- Like others have said I wouldn't worry, my nephew never really crawled he pushed himself around on his back so much that he had bald spot on his head that used to get terrible cradle crap, bleeding etc. They do things in there own time own way.
Olive- wow another one?! Poor thing and you poor thing! Did they say any reason why she may be prone to getting them so often?
Holly- I've heard it can take awhile to get into swimming, Ash had probs with water on her face for ages, we had such dramas washing her hair.
Finally bought a hip sling, been wanting one for ages but everything so expensive, found a Quinny brand one, looks good in pic so hopefully it is.
hey girls
just popping my head in for a sec before i get suckered into paperwork AGAIN!!!!
everything going good here- life with 3 kids is alot busier than I thought it would be- esp now that boof actually is demanding my time and mobile lol
boof is going well and growing heaps- getting himself around in his own unique style which is a cross between shuffling, scooting and commando plus rolling to get somewhere fast lol- too funny
we are having cot wars and a stand off at the moment- he has decided that he wants to come in our bed from around midnight and i caved in a couple of times so we had a stand off last nite which ended with him asleep in his cot at 5am lol- so i am claiming victory there- lets see what tonight brings!!
this kid still doesnt sleep- he is lucky to have one 20 min sleep a day- he is not tired the rest of the time- sometimes i drive around for a bit just to get him to go to sleep- cause i know how important it is that he tried to get more!
now lets see if i can remember everybody !
Kaz- MCHN are gold when they are good- but when they arn't they are poison- you know your boy better than anybody and if you are not worried, then dont stress!! Every baby develops and grows and different speeds and paces and that is just life- heaven help if bubs is a little outside the norm!!! hugs hun!!
As for time without kids- i get NONE!!!! Boof is 100% demand feed and doesnt take ebm so everywhere i go- he goes! Thats my choice and i struggled not having ME time when the twins were born - but over time i got use to it and its probably why i got to bed so late and spend so much time on the puter as that is my escape time for me! With boof i have been fine about not having any time by myself so far as he is low maintenance compared to the twins- at least i can carry out a conversation with boof around and sorta finish it lol (impossible with the twins!!) hugs hun
olive- that is crap another ear infection-might be worth a trip the pead to see what they can do prevent them (grommits??) DD used to get the heaps as well but they really stopped after she had her pnumoccicol vaccination - it immunises against the same bacteria that causes ear infections as well as pnumonia! hugs hun! also brauer have a great ear relief rememdy- might be worth keeping on hand as well!
Shell- enjoy britney tonite!! Also would love to hear about your hip sling- boof getting heavy in my buba sling and thinking of getting an ergo instead - but your one might be another option!
ellie - too funny about the chucking with bubs on your hip lol- when i was UTD with boof my twins were soo funny watching me chuck as well - one would get the bucket and on would get the rennies- they also would take it in turns to hold my hair for me lol!
you know its bad when your kids think rennies are lollies ! hope m/s passes- have you tried seasickness bands- they took the edge off it a little for me!!
hi to maylna, OP, Nai NZ girl, Pinnymum and everyone else!
grr DH is cracking the whip to start paperwork now - so gotta go - mwah!!!
Hi everyone
Just popping on to let you know I had my scan today and all is GREAT! Bub was very active and uncooperative lol...so we got to have a long look! A was great, sat on DH's knee and watched and chatted to us all ...was quite bizarre...felt like it was only yesterday we were in the same room looking at her on the screen...anyway totally stuffed after 3 hour round trip with scan and shopping inbetween...and a few good chucks on the way home...be back tomorrow to catch up on everyone's news Ex
Det - thanks darl. It is something I've been wondering about, is the lack of me time something I'll get used to (like not enough sleep and broken when I get it) or is it something that will gradually wear me down until I go totally postal one day Just kidding, I'm starting to put some stuff in place now to make sure I have a little more time just to myself each week.
So hot here today. J's sleep was going great guns for a few days there but not it's turned south again and I really think it's the heat. He's so not used to just having a sheet over him, kicks around heaps but with a blanket on he doesn't move position at all when sleeping He's not very mobile my J!!!
Better go, can hear him stirring and I want to get up main street in all it's glory to run some errands. My sister is coming up this weekend and she's going to come swimming with us on Monday so I'm really looking forward to that. Hope everyone else and their bubs are well.
