hi all
I've been reading but not posting. I feel like I've been really busy but haven't really been doing much. Lots of staying home and giving E practice settling and resettling in her cot during the day. She's going great at settling - responds much better to me just leaving the room rather than patting etc that I was doing before. We have a little nap time routine of story, swaddle, close blinds and down which seems to be working. Resettling is also getting better and she occasionally manages more than 1 sleep cycle on her own, so yay! I'm still carrying her in the sling for 1 sleep a day so I can get out of the house a bit.
Cap - glad you like the sling and could do some shopping! They're a life saver.
Traylee - don't worry about silly people making uneducated comments. I can't see the pic but like everyone else has said, take S to the doc if you're really worried. Get the opinion of someone who knows what they're talking about.
Sickness - Sounds like everyone has had a bout of something! We've all got colds here. E took a while to settle last night with a snotty nose, but thankfully slept well after that (either that or I was just so tired i didn't hear her!). A was a up a couple of nights on the run not feeling well. One night she threw up all over her bed which wasn't fun, but she seems to be much better now. I hope everyone gets better really soon.
SSM - I must have missed something. What's wrong with Hunter?? Hope he gets better soon, sounds like you need a break!
Weight loss - good luck to everyone trying to lose some kgs. Winter is not a fun time for dieting, and crappy weather makes exercise harder.
DH has taken A out and E is asleep. Better make the most of it and do something!

Hi ladies,
Sorry I've been a bit busy. My aunty had a Baby boy on Monday (elective C-section) and I got to go and meet him last night. It makes me soooo clucky walking into the hossy that I birthed my girls, passed the delivery suits and see all the little babies about.... I can't wait to be back there having another bub! It was so great meeting the little man too, they're just so little when they're new! Oh and they named him Lennox Bernard (Bernard being after my grandad who died in May).
There really is not a lot going on here. DH is sick, T is getting sick as is H and I have had a sinus head ache all day so think I'll be next :doh: So just trying to get a heap of fruit and veg into us all and fight back!
Hope you're all happy and well. Sorry for no persies

Tiff - Hope you all get better really soon!
pmccask - Yay on E settling. Sounds like she is really settling down for you!
We are all doing ok here. P has a cold and is not drinking as much which means that my boobies are huge and uncomfortable again. I have been expressing again. She seems to be on the mend though. We had a sad day here yesterday, Tiana's baby has stopped sucking her bottle and dummy :( Which meant that she then came running to me in tears telling me that baby Lily will be dead cause she can't eat! I don't know where she got it from but I convinced her that she will be fine and is just not hungry. Meanwhile I am off to Brisbane today to get a new baby for Tiana and hopefully she will believe that Lily got better! lol. The things we do!
Hope everyone else is doing well!

Marni - Oh how horrible for T, she'll be none the wiser when her baby starts eating again! ;) We were in the supermarket carpark a couple of weeks ago and there was a boy laying in the gutter (waiting for his mum to pack the car) and T says to me, "Mum look thats boy's dead" :o I have no idea where she got that from?! It's funny how they just pick things up.Anyways, I hope P is feeling better soon and your boobies work out whats going on!

Afternoon everyone, I'm so far behind again.....now I have internet connected again will be on here more often :)
A had her needles yesterday and was fine up until about 8pm at which time she turned feral, she even went down to bed without her usual nighttime feed. Would through a tantrum when I laid her down to offer her my breast. So thought she'd be up again soon for it, but she slept right through until 7 this morning, had a feed and was out until 10.30am........after that she turned grizzly and clingy again.
Ahhh there she goes again - but on a side note had mothers group this arvo and one of the mums is 8 weeks pregnant!

Hi All.
Sorry I've been MIA. But E has decided that sleeping thru is not for him! He wakes anywhere between 12 and 2 and then 4 hours later. So I've been pretty tired again lately.
I can't believe how quickly time is going by. E is nearly 4 months old. I tried him on that summer fruits gel last night. I don't think he likes it. He had 3 tiny bits. But tonight I gave him a teaspoon of farex with breast milk. He loved it! I think my boy is like his dad and loves savory foods. So I'm glad I only bought 3 jars of the gels.
He is trying to sit up already. He pulls the top half of his body off the ground/chair and has really strong muscles. I think he just wants to hang out with everyone and see what's going on. Lol.
Anyway I better go and have a shower. I'm sooo exhausted. Plus DH and Cooper are talking between themselves about having more brothers/sisters....hhhhmmmm not sure about that one.
Phoenix - Does the mum in your mums group have a baby same age as ours? Cos that's crazy...lol. Awefully close together! Don't know how I'd deal with that! Lol.
-
Sleepy - P doesn't sleep through either. She only wakes once normally for a feed though and just goes back down. Can't complain. So I take it DH wants more babies? Tiana has been telling everyone that I am having her baby brother - this is news to me lol. Hope that E sleeps well for you tonight.
Phoenix - Oh, nasty needles! I need to book P in for hers this week :( I hope that she has improved for you tonight.
Cap - Hope you all feel better!
We have had a yucky day. It has been raining so we have been stuck inside all day and Tiana has gone a bit feral and P had moments too! P is now in bed but had to be cuddled to sleep tonight - which isn't normal. But was nice to have cuddles anyway. Well I am off to bed - Hope everyone has a good night!
