was wondering when we would get to page 2 lol,
scarlet is still awake and its 9.15, lol,
last night she went down around 10 ish and only woke once between then and 7am.
i think to we give her bottle in lounge and move her when asleep, but lately no way lol, she doesnt wanna be anywhere bar in arms, or on bouncer, but lately getting over her bouncer i thinks already.
Yay for all the sleep everyone is getting! We normally only get woken once overnight too, last night was twice but she has a blocked nose so I understand!
I did a post on the other page and it disappeared and now I don't remember what we were talking about.
Traylee - with the daycare, I wont put P in before she is one but if you need a break once a week for a few hours no one would say anything about you puttting Scarlett in. It certainly wont hurt her!
We have our check ups today. I dont know what is going to happen with me, I am still bleeding so she can't do a pap smear still and my head is still awful! So we will see. Phoebe will have her check and needles so sad seeing her get poked!
Traylee - I've taken a year of work and will decide then if I go back one or two days a week, so A won't be going to childcare until I make up my mind on what I'm doing but then I'm lucky with DH being home for 2 weeks at a time I should be able to get a break if I need and he'll have missed her enough to want to take her off my hands for a while
Sleepy - Good on E for such a great sleep last night!
Marni - Hope you guys are feeling better real soon & good luck with your checkups today.
A is having her needles too this morning and I'm feeling so guilty about it, think it's mostly because I'm petrified of injections and also the fact someone is going to hurt my baby and I dread hearing her cry when it's being done
Well A did a marathon sleep last night after going down about 9.45 last night she woke up at 7.30 this morning, her best effort yet! She was stirring from about 6.30-7.00ish with grunts & groans but everytime I went to get her she was still asleep. It was when I unwrapped and picked her up I smelt what all the fussing was about hahaha
Well I better run and have a shower while she's quiet & sleeping (again ) and get ready to be out the house in about an hour.
Hi to everyone, have a great day and enjoy lots of baby cuddles!
ok, new thread and a new promise to post regularly lol...well, I'll try at any rate.
I have had real issues with my internet so I havent been able to read last posts so am going to start afresh.
AFM - things are going well. We are going to try dream-feeding (just learnt what it is!) and hope that that will break Zen's habit of having his big sleep at 6pm-1am. Would be much nicer if it was overnight, I dont want to go to bed at 6 lol. he rarely sleeps during the day but today has had an hour nap and now has been down for at least another hour! Might have something to do with Daddy being home for the day??
On 5 July we will have our doc appt - my 6wk and Zens 8wk. (wk 7 for both of us) I too am not looking forward to the needles
Oh well...good excuse for cuddles and I had them as a baby and dont resent my mum
Hope you are all doing well and getting enough rest etc.
marni - we've got an angelcare monitor and I love it. It made me feel so much more at ease with Annabelle about putting her to sleep on her stomach. We stopped using the sensor pads once she started rolling as she would roll away from them and set it off, but think it's great as a normal monitor too. Heaps of range and rechargable which saves heaps on batteries. We got a cheapie (ha!) for A's room when we had E because she's down the back of the house, and have spent so much in batteries already as it's not rechargable. We've had our angelcare for 2 yrs now and it's still going strong. I love that it has a temp sensor on it too. Would definitely recommend it.
BW - fingers crossed Kaylee is in good health soon!
AFM: another great night, just a shame she is hopeless at napping during the day! Since when was half an hour a sleep cycle!
Marni- Am glad to hear the medication for the reflux is helping with the day naps.
PM-Sorry to hear E isnt sleeping much in the day.
AFM- Well we had another great night last night fed at 9:30pm back down in own bed by 10:00pm and slept till 4:00am took a little bit to settle at this feed but then went back down and i gotta sleep in cause my darling mum got up with all the kids oh how much i love her.
So that is 2 nights in a row we have fed at 9ish and she hasnt really woke up during the feed and just goes straight back down lets hope we repeat this again tonight.
May has cradle cap in her eyebrows all my kids seem to get this and always in the eyebrows never on the head she also has that hormone rash over her face,neck,head.
Anyway i better go feed the kids only got the three at home now as mum took oldest DD home with her
Quick post tonight - DH is having a shower with B atm, so I only have 5 mins or so!
BW - Wow, you guys sure have had a rough trot! It's no wonder we haven't heard from you. I hope that K recovers quickly and that she gets her harness off tomorrow also (it would be one less thing for you to worry about). Sending you lots of good vibes
Sleepy - Hope the needles go well.
pmccask- B's sleeping pattern sounds almost identical, though we had a good sleep (1.5hrs) yesterday because we were in the car!
I hope everyone's reflux isssues sort themselves out soon. Try reading some of the threads on reflux babies. I found them really helpful and they made me realise B is exremely lucky and doesn't actually have anything like true reflux.
AFM - Am packing it because DH goes back to work tomorrow and I have no idea how I'll cope all day on my own! Our renovations also start tomorrow so we will be hit with a concrete cutter in the morning - yippee, not! Am hoping to time that with a trip to do the groceries so we don't have to listen to it.
