Shiny new thread! Only problem is I've forgotten what was going on in all your last posts.
Art - WOOHOO!!! That is awesome! What a breakthrough!! How many times, honestly, did you get up to check on her?! Or were you so tired from months of crap sleep that you slept right through too?! I have eveything crossed that this is a new start for you guys. PMSL at your 'floor ornament', and a toothless one at that. I wonder if you'll wake up one day to find Miss A with a full mouth of white pealers.
Sanchez - I'm with Sangie. I should know better than to have a mouthful of anything when I read your posts as my dear laptop often wears it when I burst out laughing!!! That tampon story was so damn funny!! I still don't have AF (19 months and counting!) but I suspect I'll struggle with tampons when it does return as the old pelvic floor aint what she used to be! I used to have quite good control down there, even my doctor commented once when my vjay-jay shot one of her tools out when I was having a pap smear a few years back! So embarassing!
AM - is Sam still rising at sparrows fart? Damn sparrows!!! 5am is not cool. We've been so spoilt by Izzy's 8am starts lately that anything before 7am is not cool in our house! I really shouldn't get use to that, should I. Actually, I shouldn't even write it down as she'll no doubt make a liar out of me tomorrow!
Kelly - poor little man! He has had a terrible run with illness, hasn't he. Well done for battling through hon - you are super mum! Is he better now?
Sangie - How's Ethan going? Is he still wearing his helmet, I can't remember!
Hi everyone else!
Izzy had her worst night ever on Saturday night. We had friend stay the night with their 7 month old so us parents could play cards and have a few drinks. Izzy went to bed without a drama at 7.30 but woke at 8.30 just as we started playing cards and then stayed up until 12.30am I tried so many times to put her back down but she just kept fighting it. Was happy as larry watching our game and drinking copious amounts of milk but every time we put her down, she would scream blue murder. It was horrible! Anyway, we gave in at 12.30 and went to bed and that is when our little darling finally called it a night too - I was fuming!! Thankfully she slept til 8.30. I thought our friends little man was being such a good boy but they actually left at 7.30am as he had been a little bugger all night!! Needless to say, the sleepover was far from a success - Babies 1, Adults 0.
We tried a different brand of yoghurt last week (the new Masterchef Greek yoghurt) and Izzy did two MEGA spews after eating it in the evening. I don't recommend it at all! It must be too rich for her although other Greek yoghurts have been fine. The spews were massive and quite a shock as she's never really been a spewy baby. One of them was all through her cot while I was out on Monday night so we had to strip her and the cot at middnight when I got home. DH said she'd slept soundly so he was none the wiser. I'm just glad I went in to check on her before I went to bed or she would have slept in it all night. FOUL!
Izzy is standing unsupported a lot more now. She's really improved a lot over the last week and now does it while analysing what ever it is she has in her hands. It's cute as she kind of takes herself by surprise as she's so interested by what's in her hands that she doesn't realise she's standing by herself and when she reaslises, she gets all excited and falls on her bum! I wonder if she'll be walking by her first birthday
I ordered Izzy's birthday invites last week. I found a really good printing website which had some really fun invite templates. Izzy's is a magazine cover, with her as the covergirl and all the party details are randomly spread about the cover. They are really fun and different. Her party is shaping up to be a lot bigger than we thought so it's doubling as a kind of house warming too. I think we have about 50 or so coming but that includes quite a lot of kids. I'm not sure what to do about her cake yet. My mum always made us amazing birthday cakes from the Women's Weekly cake recipe book and I would love to do the same but to be honest, I can't bake to save my life. I can cook well but baking is not my thing (although I do love to eat the raw mixture, yum!). So I'm tempted to just buy a cake with a personalised message on it. Is that a cop out?!
Weaning is going well and we're down to just one BF a day now, the first feed of the day, as soon as she wakes. I'm really enjoying having my boobs back (although I don't recognise them anymore!) and the one feed is pretty relaxing for both of us. I'd considered weaning her fully after her first birthday but I think I'll just continue until she's over it now. I figure my boobs can't look any worse, surely not?!
