Jan 2013 Part 4: More noises, movements and more sleep?! Hmmmm

[happyhow]

New thread!

I leave B during the night until he's making persistent noise - I don't usually wake up til then anyway! He's always wide awake; he's never done the dream feed thing. I tickle under his neck or blow gently on his face to keep him awake...

He's still in with us but will be going in his own room once his blackout blind arrives and we've given it a good Hoover. Probably in the next week or so.

B is still mostly in 0-3 clothes . I've started putting him in 3-6 vests but his other things mostly look far too big on him still (he's 19weeks). Sainsburys stuff is bigger though, as is Asda.

Hubby has taken B out for a long walk so that I can get some of this marking done. Bailey seemed to think that 3 15min naps today was acceptable so he's been doing my head in and I've gotten absolutely nothing done. He's just point blank refused to sleep today.

Posted too soon!

Meant to add her 2nd tooth seems to have broken through today! I can feel its sharp edge now and she seems a little happier. Shes also discovered row row your boat and loves it toothy

Birdies - I still have a shocker in the sleep department

Yay on 2nd tooth apples, has the first grown up much yet? Lois's is taking forever to cut through I have been able to feel/see a deep ridge and a little sharp bit just under the gum for weeks now.

Lois still likes the gym, but now she rolls as soon as you put her down and has still forgotten how to roll from front to back, so ends up moaning after a while. New favourite toy is Sophie the giraffe hand me down from DD1 (Pascha it was a gift honest!)

lost the first is fully through. She likes to smile at people and show it off :) wierd though as it makes me feel like she is growing up too fast and i really want to hold on to her baby days!

Sorry about your horse Octane :(

Sorry about the sleep Birdies. It's still all over the place here, he is five months now so it can't be the four month sleep regression any more! Think he is def teething but it is exhausting!

He is also fed up with gym and I can't wait til he can roll, sit up properly and play. I think frustration is making him cranky.

Hi all, we back online after our housemove, although still have boxes everywhere. I've had a small scroll up but no time to check too far back!! Sorry about your horse Octane - so sad

We went to the beach yesterday and I got so sunburnt - covered the kids in factor 50 and forgot me .... Ds is also frustrated with his gym and I also can't wait for him to sit, roll etc - he's also cranky and my arms can't carry him and throw him up and down etc for too long. Sleeping side he's not too bad - usually 7 till 7, but I am up a few times from 4:30 putting dummy back in - think its coz of the light so have ordered new blackout blinds (really hope they arrive today).

Haven't had a washing machine since we moved last Friday - we have a washing pile that's getting close to Everest and have run out of almost everything - this country doesn't have a simple laundraumat that you put money in and do your own wahing ... new one is arriving tomorrow ( but I have big doubts that DH can install it )

Forgot I have one of those sophie giraffes too. Mjust got it out to tease the dog with the squeak dexters impressed with its legs... the rubbers making a squeak against his tooth.

I've just spent the last hour or so making carrot, parsnip, apple and pear purées so hopefully B likes them...

Glad the house move went well Louise!

Left my phone in the bathroom schoolboy error and DS1 threw it down the toilet that's the 2nd iPhone in 3 months that's fallen victim to the toilet, it's currently sat in a tub of rice to try and dry it out, I'm not getting my hopes up though it was submerged for quite some time before ds1 came and told me!

Ds1 and dd are both full of a cold and been up all night with them both, they are both being very clingy today, ds1 has very bad asthma so praying it stays off his chest!

Happy the only ice cube tray I have is a smirnoff vodka branded one... is it morally wrong to do his dinz in that?

You so should Lora that would be hilarious!

Welcome back Louise, where have you moved to?

Anyone else back to 3-4 poos a day? Think this must be teething, v annoying.

Very sleep dep. Debating whether to go to my group tonight - good for the old mental health to have a bit of a moan - or just go to bed at 8pm!

Apples, bet little toothy grin is super cute

Lolli, oops on phone . I actually did the same not that long ago but it was actually my fault muppet Hope your dc's get well quickly and DS1 asthma does not worsen poor bubs.

Louise- glad house move has gone well. Unpacking is hell on earth though.

Horrendous again last night, think I saw every hour. I even resorted to trying the dummy at 4am but it only helped for an hour so no miracle. She doesn't wake up screaming just prolonged moaning that progresses into full blown cry after 20mins or so, she just doesn't seem to have the ability to settle herself. I'm losing the will to live and running out of ideas. Looks like Dr Weissbluth is going to have to make a reappearance in our house soon

Lora, that's brilliant! I think you should do it but maybe not add the vodka...

B's been having a bit of a sleepy day. It's been quite nice actually. Is that bad?!

3-4 poos is a normal day for us... 2 first thing, normally within an hour of each other and another in the afternoon. He's been quite sicky the last few days though. I was in the firing line for a full frontal projectile vomit at lunchtime...

Urgh, what a day! Ds1 went down hill rapidly after lunch and was blue lighted to a&e, he has been admitted, he has had 6 nebulisers and is on constant oxygen, his oxygen levels are not picking up.

Oh no Lolli how is he now?

Gosh lolli, how awful for all of you especially your little DS. How is he doing? Big get well wishes x

At least he's in the right place getting treatment. Hopefully he makes an improvement quickly. Xx

Oh lolli how scary. I hope he improves quickly. Is the hospital far from home?

Lolli hope your ds1 is doing better now, thinking of you x

I remember from the antenatal thread that there were quite a few of us in South East London. We seem to have lost a fair few since then but if there's still anyone other than me left then feel free to join the Hither Green / Ladywell local group which I'm just setting up if it's close enough to you.

Oh lolli how scary. Hope he's improving.

glorious even though I'm in Brussels, I've joined your local group in case there's a meet up when I'm over visiting the rents.

Just watched Molly on the baby monitor wake up, look round, stick her thumb back in her mouth and go back to sleep. It's been weeks since she did that. Nighttimes are a mix of slightly better (last night 8-11, 11.15-4 4.15-7.15) and terrible (night before up pretty much every hour) although I'm blaming teeth rather than sleep regression now . We've also had an increase in poos so supports my teeth theory, as does the jamming fist in mouth all the time, tearing poor Sophie the giraffe to shreds and pulling at her ear loads. One just visible, but nothing through yet.

Am bored! Waiting for repairman looking at mountains of washing! Annoying as the only way tp catch up now will be a trip to the laundrette to use the driers :(

On another note i think Ivy may have a squint. Pointed it out to mil yesterday and she could see it too. Baby clinic on monday so will show hv when sumo baby Ivy is weighed.

Sigh theres always something to worry about

Thanks everyone, he didn't have a good night, his oxygen levels didn't stay up so he had to have the oxygen all night and nebulisers too, he is back on his inhalers today but he has got to stay in tonight as well to keep an eye on his stats.
Me and dp have just swapped so I'm home with dd while I have a quick shower and then get back to the hosp, mil is having dd over to stay tonight fingers crossed we get discharged tomorrow xx

Glad he's on the men's Lolli. Xx

Brilliant angielka , our first member

Sounds horrible lolli but glad things are improving.

I popped a note through the door of the lady I've seen over the road with a baby this afternoon. Looks like the house is for sale unfortunately but at least it means if she thinks I'm nuts she won't have to fret for long!
