AJP - sorry to hear about the rough night.
Alex has started leaning against me, standing and he took two steps today.. bu this weight and measurements haven't changed that much since last month.
Just got out the other side of a really rough patch with Alex - you know clingy etc.. today he's back to his chilled self (decided to climb up on me when I was laying on the floor). Beginning to think that all the crawling and movement is making up for the lack of teeth!
awww glad A is doing better hun!! standing and walking :o scary!
millie slept great last night! 6.45-3.15 fed then back til 7.45am so happy
Oh wow Malyna - walking already! That is freaking me out!
Miss J's bottom seems to be better although she has nasty red burn-marks from the stinging poos :( I am still smothering her bottom in cream but she seems to be pooing a bit less. I took the girls to the baby expo today - madness! I will never do that again!
I did my first lot of swim teaching yesterday and had my final assessment so I will be paid from next week - woohoo! I am taking 5 classes so 2.5 hours of work every Thursday afternoon while the girls go to chldcare.
Hey everyone, sorry I've been slack again -have evil flu and have wanted to die. Haven't left the house since Monday :( It's totally ffffrrrrruuuuuuiiiiiiiitttttttttttt-ed :lol: I never get sick. I had a bit of a cough when I was 8-9weeks pg with J but aside from that it's been a couple of years. Guess my number was up! J had a good night last night but I couldn't sleep for coughing and needing to blow my nose constantly :doh:
Can't remember who asked but we've got no teeth, no crawling, definitely no walking :o and hardly any rolling but he does sit up really well without support, can reach for toys etc.
Ali - That sucks about your DP's surgery prospects. That's a pretty big risk to take too. Hope A's rash clears up soon. Be just your luck that you'll get better this weekend in time to go back to paid work!!
AJP - Sorry you and M have had such a rough trot!
Malyna - Glad your DH took some time off to support you. DP stayed home yesterday morning so I could get more sleep and he bought me flowers too. awwwwww....
Pinny - Great that L is feeding less overnight but still sounds like you need more sleep!
Nai - Whoot! on the swimming. Sounds like a lot of fun. Poor Miss J with the poo. Sounds traumatic.
Holly - Yay on Mr. L going at his solids! I don't think J is eating anywhere near that much!
Meg - Sorry your DH was a dill and you missed your lunch. It's hard when you feel like the sole parent. DH isn't getting home til after 7pm tonight and I think that's bad enough but nothing compared to what you do. I've been meaning to ask you how the L&E was going - I assume good if you've only got 4kg to go??? :dance:
Shell, OP, Ellie, RR, Heaven, Det - Hi!! Can't remember what you girls last posted about :redface: I'm sure I've missed someone too.
AFM - Aside from me being sick, J has been ok. I'm so paranoid that he will get what I have. Impossible to keep the germs to myself. He's very clingy at times and quick to cry etc. Still getting progressively more tired as the day wears on. Hardly ever does more than 40mins nap after 11am. Has 4 naps a day :o Nights highly variable.
Here's something to warm your hearts - one of the mum's in my IRL group made me a lassagne and dropped it round this afternoon after I missed mums group this morning. She is such an angel, means I don't have to cook tea tonight!
yay nai!!! thats awesome! you'll be an ace teacher!
kaz yuk on the :cold: what a lovely thing for that mum to do! lovely thought!
we still have 4 sleeps too!
Kaz- thats great, sounds like a good mums group! Hope you're on the mend, being sick with kids is so much harder cause you don't get time to rest and you can't call in for a day off.
Nai- I was too chicken to brave it with the girls, lol. Thats great bout getting the work! If you were on my side town I'd send Ash to you for swimming lessons.
Malyna- oh wow, steps! He is really ready to get going isn't he! Glad you had a better day, makes me believe there is light there!
AJP- my girls are so similar too, both were same lenghth and barely any difference in weight, funny.
I've just been feeling physically and mentally exhauseted, its the constant whinging from Emily that is driving me nuts, hear it ALL day and she is more unsettled at night, not too bad but enuff to keep me tired. Its the day with the whinging and just wanting to be picked up. I hope its a short phase! And now I have a sore throat and bit achey, don't have time to get sick.
Hi all,
I haven't had a chance to read the posts properly and I will tomorrow.
I did want to let you know that we had made some small progress with the solids.
She will now eat zuccini with cheese sauce.
She ate about 2 tsp of carrots yesterday.
She ate a good serve of pumpkin/carrot/potato and tuna and LOVED it, but didn't love it as much the next day.
Ate some potato today.,
Otherwise she is happy to wolf down fruit and yoghurt.
I have tried BLS with veggies, but she just smooshed them up and won't even try them!!!
Ok had the last few nights with both kids uop at different points so a a bit tired so gonna go now
xx
Hi everyone
Just pulling my head out of the bucket to say 'hi'!
I can't believe I read 'walking'...already...omg...I am so not ready for crawling...kind of put the walking out of my mind lol!
And meggie...I hadn't thought about two kids waking up at different times duing the night...reality is starting to hit..BIG time...how on earth am I going to do this????
Hoping to try Anika on some chicken for lunch today...she loves pumpkin, carrot, sweet pot, cucumber, brocholi (if there's some apple included!)...seem to get stuck on these, need to try some others...loves all fruit...but bananna in one of those 'net thingies' is her fave...better cook while I can...bucket is close...hope everyone's having a great weekend :)
Oh Ellie you poor thing!! I hope your morning/all day sickness settles down soon :hug: It must be so difficult! I remember how hard it was being pregnant with a 2yo and I wasn't sick at all. I'm also not ready for the crawling, let alone walking.
Meggie - I went to bed at 8.30 last night as I was soooo tired that I felt sick. The girls had been tag teaming their waking. Last night Miss J woke at 4am so I fed her and then she woke at 5.30am and I ignored her and she went back to sleep but then cried at 6am which woke G who then came into our bed and then Miss J finally woke at 6.30. I'm so glad I went to bed early!
Shell - the constant whinging is awful isn't it! Miss J hates being left alone but she now whinges if I strap her into anything like her high chair or car seat - she hates being constricted. I hope you don't get sick on top of everything!
Kaz, hope you are feeling better and that J doesn't get sick. Hopefully your milk will be protecting him and passing on antibodies. Miss J generally only catches what G has (as G sticks her hands in J's mouth Grrr!) How nice to have a lasagne cooked for you.
Jols - Happy Birthday for tomorrow! I hope you have a great day!
meg sounds like your making progress!! i wouldnt stress about it, it only makes you all anxious IYKWIM how is J going??
ellie i take my hat off to you! ms sucks! i guess one positive is that at least anika still day sleeps! lets you rest as well!
nai we had sleep issues last night too :rolleyes: millie woke at 10pm and took til after 12.30am to resettle... lovely! then woke at 4.30 for a feed, sophie woke at 6.30 blahhhhhhhh.
thanks for the bday wishes!
I will be back later but just so I didnt miss it......

:dance:3000th:dance:
post!!!!
Thought I would post it in here seeming you girls are the ones who mean so much to me.
I have learnt so much about life, babies, pregnancy, human kindness and so much more from each of you.
:grouphug: to all of you!
Sorry just a quick one...
Happy birthday to AJP for tomorrow and congrats on 3000 posts Ali!
Have L's 8 months check at the health centre tomorrow so I'll be back with some stats and a proper catch up tomorrow afternoon hopefully!
Night xox
Happy Birthday Jols!!!
Ali- Well done on your 3000th post,
Ellie- Hope the morning sickness eases soon, I had m/s my whole pregnancy with both kids so I really feel for you...
Holly- Cna't wait to see L's stats, reminds me I need to book in L for his, will do so today.
Kaz- I hope your feeling better soon.
Meg- Yay on the solids...
Hi all
We had a shocker last night L just wanted booby milk all night!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you're being pampered!!
Very tired here. DD is teething. Bright red cheeks, dribble, no sleep!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'm about to lose it!!!!
She has started saying dad dad properly now. She won't stop!! lol. All day whatever she's doing it's 'dadadadadadadad' pmsl. I put a video up on FB of her saying it. Tried to get her to say mum yesterday and she goes "mmmm dad dad" pmsl.
ugh, I always leave it too long to post and then it's so hard to catch up. At least I am up to date with what most of you are doing through FB though. I love looking at the pics of all the cute bubs!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOLS!!!!!! :happybirthday:
Was thinking about you today!
Hope you had a lovely day!
Happy Birthday AJP! Hope you're having a great day :D (Can I ask...is Jols short for something? Am I missing something really obvious? :redface: )
L's check went well. He is on the 30th percentile for length, 50th percentile for weight, and 75th percentile for head circumference (so he's a shorty with a boof head!) :ROFL:
Measurements as follows: 69cm long, 8.72kg and 45.5 head circ. I honestly thought he would have passed the 9kg mark by now!
Anyway, just checking in, gotta go to uni now (was meant to be there 10 mins ago!)
Happy Birthday AJP!
