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.

Sitting here on the floor with D at my feet, teasing him with my tuna sandwich He's drooling and following my hand from plate to mouth and back again, watching me chew, watching me swallow. Huge grin on his face. I love this stage, like showing a trailer from some juicy new programme thats not on for a few weeks...

Hahaaa juicy trailor 'heres what you cant quite have' dexter was trying to help himself to my rice concoction last night.meant to be off out in a bit... if he gets off my boob.

Same her Lora. Topping up before I put him in the car. The sun is out at last!

Birdies - We had a good night too, 7.15-1, then 1.15 -7 . Hoping its not just the injections! She seems ok in herself today but her little legs are a bit swollen

Angie well done on your little chunk, I'm impressed. Not on sleep front though . Could she be waking due to hunger?

Re weaning, I have given a couple of little tastes and she has loved them but going to hold off a while yet. Need to dig out the weaning books as brain needs a little refresher. or some actual working cells

Pascha - pushchair looks fab
I've been out shopping and had another little perusal at the bj in JL, although they didn't have the gt and that's the one I really want to have a play with.

Enjoy the sun

Shall I play with it for you tomorrow ? That one on my shortlist too, along with the Nuna Pepp.

Daniel is on my lap feeding but about every 3 seconds he stops, looks up and giggles at me. There's not much milk going in, thats for sure

Mad night here. Up at 3.30am. Not hungry. Not grumpy. Just wide awake and wanting to play. Would not go back to sleep til 6am. I couldn't get back to sleep at all, head fried.

Lovely day though, went to chiropractor (who adores him) then park for lunch with friend.

Birdies agree, think his "night time" is about nine hours.

Pascha - yes let me know if you think the suspension is worth the extra weight as want it for holiday use as well . Also on one of my Facebook groups (nw London) someone is selling a nuna pepp. If you want link let me know

Oh yes please Lost. And I will give you a good comparison on the Babyjoggers as we had one before.

Well last night didn't go quite as smoothly. He wasn't grumpy or anything, just took longer to get him to sleep once I'd disturbed him. He still woke at 4am and was definitely hungry so the theory of waking out of habit is out the window... Got him settled and in bed a little earlier this evening so waiting to see what happens now...

Had a lovely day today. Met up with a girl who was in hospital with me before I had B - you would honestly think we'd been friends for years. Spent over 4hrs having coffee and walking around town and going to make it a weekly thing now!

Hubby gets back during the night - yippee!!

Whats with the not falling sleep til 12 rubbish hes pulling?! On a plus hes started giggling at random things th dog does instead of staring at him which is a bit cute.

Payday and ive had to stop myself buying him clothes cos he doesnt wear them all. So help me I need to shop I NEED to spend what do I buy the boy who has everything? ! (was looking at something called adam the adder or something like that)

LO has been sleeping soundly for 2.5 hrs
I on the other hand cannot sleep
Been up for nearly 24 hours
DP is still at work :(

DP has come home
LO has woken up :)

awake here too. dd wide awake and screaming.

LO calm enough now to feed :)

had any sleep yet meringue?

just had a couple of hours, now dd is eating again

Ffs, he slept for an hour. Now feeding again. It's mad Bugsy isn't it. Well he is five months next week so will no longer have the four month sleep regression excuse

Oh meringue and bugsy what a horrible night. Hope it improved.

Funny about the dog lora

Marginally better night here, only a short phase of hourly wakings and she then did 3-540. And all in her crib which is a distinct improvement.

I need to write a job application this weekend. Snooze might be necessary first as I'm knackered after the week we've had.

Lost and pascha I love your buggy obsession

Happy that's lovely! So nice when you make a new friend and get on instantly

Meringue and mrsB sorry for your crappy night, are DP/DH home today so you can get done rest?

Another sunny day here, off to take ds1 on a steam train this morning then a 2yo birthday party later

Two and a quarter hours I've been trying to feed this bloody child! Didn't get up during the night when I heard him so think he's being difficult in protest...

Its one I've converted DH to lolli. I think its because its gadgety. He has no interest whatsoever in baby bedding/clothes/immunisations/boring stuff that doesn't move.

urggh, what a horrible night. dd would not sleep and I was reduced to tears at one point . dp took over in the morning so I've just had a few hours and feel a bit better.

this morning she has a snotty nose i think she must be going down with something and I haveva sore throat so I think I am too.

meringue hope you got some sleep in the end?

dp just told me she has been sleeping from 6.30 till ten on her baby gym . tempted to put her to sleep on it tonight

O has just spent about 20 mins giggling like mad at me bouncing a tennis ball??? Honestly I don't think I'm bothering with any more toys he's happier with this ball and a crisp packet, lol!

Sorry for all those with non sleeping babies, I feel for u!!!

We seem to have come out of this 4 month wonder week thing now, he's happy to spend time alone now instead of wanting constant attention and LOVES his jumperoo! And is now sleeping from 7.30 - 7 (occasionally a little cry pop his dummy in then fine) so hoping that gives hope to those who are in the WW stage at the mo!!!

I think Molly is waking for hunger lost yes, but not every time. Sometimes she seems to wake and be unable to get abck to sleep, although she's tired and her eyes are closed.

bernie you are giving me hope that this won't last forever - thank you! Sometimes I feel like the baby's just broken and our life is destined to be free of a decent chunk of sleep. But then she smiles at me, or giggles and grabs her feet, or rolls over and I remember she's a beautiful little monster thing who is just developing and turning into a real person.

Sorry about your rubbish nights bugsy and meringue - we also had a bad one, but that seems to be standard now... although we did get to leave her from 8-10.30pm and go out for dinner (yay!) and now we're off for our celebration lunch.

lora what did you buy?

happy your friend story is lovely. It's great when two people just click.

Molly has been asleep for 2 hours in her carry cot (she's a chunk but the pram is a joolz and the carry cot is big.) Think we might have to put the carry cot in her cot tonight and see if we can trick her into sleeping longer stretches that way.

Jeez, sorry for the essay...
