trace, he's settled down but he still has a little bud their... it might start going down again tho, i'm not sure. He seems way to young to have an actual tooth!!
illeyena, go Caroline on the 3hr nap! Woo!
Everyone else... have your bubba's started squealing yet? Holy cow My poor ears! Happy sqealing, you're not giving me any attention squealing... squealing cos I can, I'm tired squealing... I don't think he ever cries anymore!
Hey ladies
Ive been reading but too lazy to post
Milly is going great, she's in bed by 7pm everynight and gets cranky if she isnt and usualy wakes once between 1 and 5 am and then up again at 7am. been having issues with day sleeps but I can deal with that if im getting sleep at night
she is a happy chucker so we smell of vomit all day but she is so damn cute that i can deal with that too
Lucy has been a major pain in bum atm im hoping its just a stage she is such a ratbag but again so cute
DH had snip on friday so no more babies for us.
Hope everyone is happy and getting some sleep
chat later
Party-of-five - Caroline is the same at the moment re; the day sleep, she just does the 30 minutes and won't resettle! last week there was one day where she passed out and slept solidly for 3 hours but that was a once off. Friday and today she was SO cranky after only 30 minutes I ended up putting her back to bed after much protests from her but she did go back to sleep. Having complained about all that she DOES sleep well at night, either sleeping all the way through or waking up once for a feed.
how did DH go post snip? I want to get DH to do the same if he decides for sure we won't have any more, I don't want to be on the pill for the next 20 plus years! I'm happy to go one more but he is the one who's saying he isn't sure. he's SO smitten with Caroline though so we'll see!
oh we set up a Mii on the Wii for Caroline so we could track her weight lol she is all of 5.2kgs so still quite petite.
Hi all,
Hope you are all fine, and enjoying your 3 months olds at the moment, I know I'm really loving all the smiles, noise and personality that Darcey is sharing with me.
Trace, I understand you're in Adelaide at the moment....are you free? Do you want to catch up for a coffee?
I have horrendous news. One of our dogs has fleas. I am sooooooooooo angry. EVERYTHING will need to be washed. Luckily we have floorboards, but we have big persian rugs on them, plus Darcey's rocker chair thing is so low to the floor. OMG, I was just thinking the little devil was sitting on the rug in her room yesterday. I could just kill that dog. I'm not a big fan of his as it is, he's grumpy, old, tries to bite me all the time, doesn't come when he's called (despite dragging him along to obedience training), but is always there, under my feet when I don't want him to. He barks at NOTHING, whines when the telephone rings. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I've been feeling so down in the dumps, and now I'm just thinking about how much work I have to do tomorrow to 'bomb' the house, I'm feeling overwhelmed. Oh, and we have a funeral to go to tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to have to put all of the toys that are in the loungeroom in the wash, get the carpets cleaned, I've pulled apart the cloth from her rocker, and will need to handwash that one.
And my DH is now getting annoyed with me, b/c I don't have any inclination to DTD?????????
Apologies for the rant, I think I've just let everything get to me today., so off to bed. The quicker I get to bed, the better tomorrow will be. I really am normally an optimist, so apologies again for the rant.
tracehb - thanks, i was fiddling with the camera and managed to get that one of Z and i LOVE it... she has the most amazing eyes (just like her big sis & dad) and it really shows in that photo.
Ava is 18mths and is getting her top molars, 1 has cut and is almost right through (breaking through the middle of the gum OUCH) and the other is just breaking now and the bottom two are rising.. my poor little midget.
Hows Maddie been going, no more trying to gag herself i hope.
Teagz - how funny is the squealing, Ava used to do it.. Z doesn't she is just CONSTANTLY babbling to herself and goes oooohhhhh ahhhhhh and her little mouth forms the funniest shapes.
Hows his sleeping going, back to normal overnight yet?
PO5 - you make me laugh, Ava has been a PITA aswell, maybe they are having secret conversations we don't know about.
Milly has a nice little routine going, thats awesome.. not so lucky with Z yet but she's only waking once over night and we had 2 nights where she slept through from 8:30 to 6 but back to waking a bit again
well AFM we have been going ok, as i mentioned Z isn't sleeping through but seems generally ok. a lot more awake time during the day which Ava seems to be enjoying.
I have the FUNNIEST video of Ava rolling Zara around on the floor, i think i am going to have 2 little rough nuts.. who needs toys when you have a baby sister
Zara is NEARLY out of some of her 000 suits already i am not used to having an AVERAGE sized baby... lol Ava was so so tiny for so long.
Is everyone looking forward to mothers day, any lovely plans or presents that you know of?
Not sure here, we went to DP's nans last year and then to Eureka tower, DP said we were moving then but then i realised the date and said NO i WANT a proper mothers day, i have 2 kids and i deserve a 'day off' well as much as you can when 1 is soley dependent on you and the other is just too quit to palm off... lol
Apologies again for the rant last night. But, gee, I feel soooo much better for it.
Last night we vacuumed the house, got the dogs beds outside, this morning I was at our local Coles (waiting for the doors to open at 7), came home, washed one of the dogs twice with the flea stuff, put the flea stuff on her after that, fed Darcey, now washed the other dog twice, have done two loads of washing, getting ready to bomb the house at midday (the funeral is at 12.30pm, so good timing).
Changed Darcey this morning, and realised she doesn't have anything to wear to the funeral today. I mean she does, but all her 'nice' things are in the wash, she only has 'around the house' type things (e.g. Bonds purple and grey stripe all in one etc). So, went to the next drawer in her tall boy and pulled out some new clothes. All the nice 000 items are still miles too big. She has a number of PUmpkin Patch size 0 - 3 months. Tried one on for size....still very big, but we're going to wear one of the outfits regardless today. It's either that or the bonds outfit. My little girl really is quite little.
My DH is actually looking forward to the funeral. Strange I know, but this arm of his family are kind of estranged, well, they really keep to themselves, don't mix with the other part of his family, so he's looking forward to seeing them, find out how everyone is. Oh, and show off Darcey. I am so lucky to have such a loving DH, who just adores his daughter. When we were pregnant, he kept saying how much he wished it would be a girl. Hmmm, better have two outfits ready for Darcey. Sometimes her Dad changes her into 'prettier' things. So funny.
Is anyone's little one giggling yet? Darcey has only had one little giggle, when I said she was stinky, but apart from that, hasn't yet had open giggles. She squeals with delight, but no giggles.
Anyway, got lots and lots to do...got to organise a plumber...doing the last rinse on the last dog, and the laundry tap has started to leak from the wall *sigh*. What a great time we're having at the moment.
On a much brighter note, I have the most beautiful little girl smiling at me and talking to me right now. I think its time for play, and lots of it.
wow Petal you are a force this morning! well done on the progress!
we've had a few giggles, on Saturday night she let out a few really loud ones - it was amazing! otherwise we've just had lots of smiles, quiet giggles and little squeals.
