BG - I look forward to seeing some christmas photo's of your decorating, I am looking forward to xmas also - having a child certainly brings a whole new meaning to it for me as I am sure for you guys too
J - I think the babies definately prefer the parents bed, whether we are in it or not, I guess it smells like us. Bailey always sleeps more soundly and longer in our bed (which is why we do a fair bit of co-sleeping I think). Its not uncommon in the mornings that he stirs around 4ish and if we pop him in with us he goes straight back to sleep. I hope Jamie grants you more sleep mate
Amy - You are such a BB meet-up hussy LOL, good that you are going out, good on you. Bless Natty and her kindy concert, cant wait to see photo's. DH is on the nappy changing now. Bailey did about 8 poo's today - tiny little nuggets rather than his normal big poo's. I gave him porridge, perhaps that 'dried' him up abit? Anyway, Friday night was my night to sleep through (not that I did of course as Bailey was not happy with Dad so I got up for cuddles) and anyway that started Sean's nappy changing again - yaaaaah!!
Krystie - I have seen those little books, I know the ones you mean, perhaps Santa will bring Kyson one? hehehehe. Yeah, thanks so much re the nappy covers - cant wait for kyson-o-saurus hehehe. You'd think my house would be spotless with the extra long naps but last week I really didn't make good use of the time, I was just mooching around instead LOL
Sorry about YET ANOTHER vent, but today has sucked arse! Bailey has been quite upset all day which ended with an almost 3 hour screaming session. Eventually I settled him but far out, he's never been like this. He has a blister on his leg from the brace which I think was the instigator of his agony, but it just got to the point where nothing we were doing would help. He is moving his lower legs around a lot with the brace on (which is good as I dont want him to regress in that area) but its a double edged sword as then there is the risk that the brace will rub and result in sore patches or blisters. I am going to ring our orthotist in the morning for some advice. I nearly took the bloody thing off and took to it with an axe this arvo. Poor Bailey was crying, I was crying and Sean was crying, we just didn't know what to do - Arrrrrghhhh!! I know it will get easier. It's been a tough weekend, we had the two sets of grandparents around last night for a BBQ which we'd previously put off and I should have put it off again as I really wasn't in the mood to 'deal' with the stupid comments - MIL asked when she arrived if Bailey had his 'frame' on- as if his too big tracksuit pants, bulky thighs and splayed legs aren't obvious enough. Anyway we all knew a stupid comment was going to come from that direction didn't we! However I actually got my first compliment from the IL re my mothering skills yesterday - wow! My Mum seems to have gotten the hint and backed off (she was smothering us with her well meaning sympathy which was making it a bit hard to move forward) so thats good. This is all a bit harder than I thought, and a bit of a roller coaster, but I am still grateful its not worse. I have connected with a girl from Optus who's daughter was diagnosed at 15 months - and she had to wear a plaster spica for 15 weeks and is now in the same brace as Bailey, so there is always someone worse off. But she is lovely (as all Amy's are
) and has been lovely and supportive, like with Vic, its nice to talk to someone who has been through it all
Right - off to spend some quality time with DH - it's not ALL about Bailey (just 99%
