Hey all too depressed ATM with my grandad passing and Mikayla and just had someone come and tell me my kitty got run over so not dealing with things well atm
Love you all I'm reading my fb inbox msg though but can't be bothered with much else so I'm sorry I'm abit out of the loop
I have been looking through all her beautiful photos too she was a real stunner
Hey Mon - just remember we're here for you ok so don't feel alone or sad or depressed. I think it's time we arranged a Perth catchup with Kymmy! Sorry about your kitty as well, that's very sad news.
I've been looking at Mikayla's wedding pics too, she was so beautiful wasn't she, such a stunning girl and just that look about her that radiates sweetness. It's just too sad for words.
Hi Girls - I have a clingy baby today, growth spurt, teeth, who knows!!! It took me 2 hours to eat my lunch today. Question, I was told last week you should put your babies to bed awake otherwise they can end up with separation anxiety or self settling problems but Amelia is usually already asleep when I put her down, is this wrong and has anyone got any tips for putting her to bed awake? At night she usually falls asleep during her feed so is already asleep when I put her down, is this not right?
How is everybody today?
Oh and I got my amber teething necklace in the mail today, fingers crossed it helps! Amelia is gagging she's shoving so much down her gob. She's found her feet too which is cute.
Alison - they're actually not supposed to chew on the necklace, so you'd probably want to start hiding it under her clothes sweet. Oh and with the self settling - meh - if you are happy for her to fall asleep whilst being fed, then go with that. If she will self settle - great. If she can fall asleep with some help - go with that. Whatever works for you.
Sometimes Eden falls asleep on the bottle, sometimes she falls asleep by herself, sometimes she needs us to pat her bottom to sleep. Whatever works for you my love!
Alison - I don't listen to the 'shoulds' because they aren't bringing up my kids, i am, so I do what right for us. I put Mr I down asleep too. Re: seperation anxiety, its a stage, most bubs go through it & I just take it that he loves me & loves being with me. DS1 went through it & came out the other side happy to say goodbye when he's at child care, happy to be left with his grandparents most of the time.
I'm pretty sure that 4 mths is a typically clingy time & who wouldn't want to be with someone who feeds us, makes us laugh & holds us when we cry, not to mention cleans our bum & tolerates being peed on (Mr I got me twice today - boys!).
PIL came up from Sydney for the day on Sunday & I behaved quite well - MIL may have noticed my forced smile at the annoyingly noisy easter toys she brought the boys - an egg that goes 'hee hee hee Come and find me' and a plush train for Mr I that I can't remember the noise, but I don't want to find out 'cause DS1 will want to press the button over & over. MIL can't resist buying noisy toys - we have dogs on a pillow that sings I got you babe, a chicken that clucks & plays Camptown Races, various Cars movie things, a teddy that plays Brahms Lullaby in a really tinny tone and a few more. If she lived closer I'd say they can stay at Nan's place, but seeing we haven't been to Sydney for 2 years I can't do that.
Mon - sorry about your cat. Catch up with Alison & Kymmy, we need to remind ourselves that we are there for each other at times like these.
I thought Mr I had forgotten how to roll, but I think he's been on too soft a surface - we have all wooden floors so I've had his playmat on the old cot mattress. I put him on a towel on the floor & he went from back to front a couple of times, but couldn't remember how to get back & just whinged until I turned him over.
I keep thinking about what could've been done for poor Mikayla & her poor hubby having the anniversery so soon after she died.
