Brydz - Yes it's so great that our floors are finally done now, I have waited soooo long for it to happen! I hear ya on just having money to do something and then bills (big one's or more than one or two bills) come in! It sure sucks when that happens! I think the reason why Noah is so cranky, grizzly and not sleeping well is because he is teething. I gave him Panadol for 2 days, but it didn't really seem to do much or make a difference to his sleep so not sure. He has been having some really weird sleeping patterns and it's really doing my head in! Noah also drinks heaps before bed time and I swear it should last him a long time, but 2-2.5 hrs later he is screaming again and you'd swear he is starving. I'm sure your Mum's friends are right that it's just the 3 month growth spurt that Vinny is going through - I hope for your sake it is and that he settles again soon. Perhaps Noah is going through some kind of 4 month growth spurt too.....
Vix - Thanks for the txt and for letting me know the results from your test. Was so happy and relieved to hear. I hpe that the blood work you had done come back good/normal too. Sounds like Alannahrama has a nice little routine there for ya. Noah has NO ROUTINE and I am a bit frustrated / sad that it's such a struggle not only days but also nights to get him settled lately... Hope you had a good girly day with your Princess today!
Raffy - Sorry to hear that you think Coop is teething too. It's horrible for them, they're sooo little and I hate seeing Noah so grumpy and cranky because of it. Wish them bloody teeth would just come through already if they're going to come through or go away!! Glad that at least Coop is sleeping well for ya, although sorry to hear that you're not falling asleep until after 12. Hope you get some good nights' soon! Yes, I don't know where I got the energy from to even attempt DTD, but I figured that after poor DH not getting any for sooooooo long I should have at least given it a try, well, I think I've tried a whole of 4-5 times since Noah was born and it was really just unbearable so atm nothing is happening and won't be happening until after my operation and I've properly healed! lol Almost forgot to say yay on Coops rolling. Noah is loving his tummy time now (finally) and is rolling over 3-4 times in a go, so cute to see and great to hear the little sounds he makes when doing it. lol I got a couple of video clips of it too! He is also able to kind of hold his own bottle which is just too cute. Great news about the job, I will keep my fingers crossed that it all works out for ya.
Clover - Welcome back. Sounds like you had a great, but busy time and exhausting drive. Glad to hear that Summer did well and I hope you and DH get some rest soon.
Nikki - Welcome back! So happy to see ya on here again. Looking forward to hearing all about your holiday. How is Ben going? Is his poo still a greenish colour? I noticed today with Noah's poo that his was an army green type colour with a little bit of yellow mustardy colour (like it always was) so I'm guessing it might have something to do with BF and FF him??? Will mention it to my GP on Friday when he goes for his needles.
AFM, had a terrible few days and nights (until today).....Noah is just still not sleeping well and it's really doing my head in. He woke 4 times last night.....WTF!??? I was exhausted by 3:30am and had a massive cry! DH was home thankfully and helped settle Noah back to sleep at 4:15am (after nearly 2 hours of trying to settle him) and poor DH had to get up at 4:30am. At least after that (and a 200ml FF bottle) he slept until after 8:00am this morning and had another sleep this arvo for 2 hours and I got to snooze for 1.5 hours too!! I'm still trying to BF him as much as possible but am giving him 2 bottles of FF a day, once around 10:30am and once again at about 6:30pm, but he still seems to be hungry. I don't know and don't think it can be a growth spurt as his growth spurts has always lasted about 3 days and then he'd be fine again and this has been going since about the last week so it's been over a week now. The GP I saw last Friday said it was teething, but surely it can't continue this way for over a week??? I'm just exhausted and not sure what to do or what I should do. I'm seeing my own GP again on Friday as I have to take Noah for his 4 month needles so will as his advice then, but in the meantime, if anyone has some advice to offer, I'm willing to try ANYTHING!
Well then, seeing as he finally went down at 7:30pm, I guess I should go sleep too while I can......I'm sure (touch wood) and I hope I'm WRONG it won't be too long until it's wake up time again.
Hope you all have a great night and you and all your beautiful babies sleep well!
