Merry christmas Karen
Little man slept straight through last night so hopefully it was a one off! I do remember his fcs saying that occasionally he had cried out very upset in the night so it's probably something that happens occasionally with him.
He has just gone up to bed exhausted so we shall see what time he has us up tomorrow!

 

[karenh]

Yay! I am glad he is sleeping. Hopefully as he settles and gets to know that your are the most wonderful people ever and the best mom and dad he could ask for he will be able to sleep better.

This mama is DONE! D-O-N-E with teething. I have haD iT! What ever teeth that child has in his mouth THAT IS IT! NO MORE!! Tough luck, chuckles! He was up at 2 AM screaming bloody murder, someone outside would have thought he was being BEATEN! In the dark, without my glasses im trying to find his binkie, whilst my husband stands by watching me search in the dark like a fool, trying to stifle the screams and not smother the poor kid since we have a friends 2 year old here and HE was sleeping peacefully in the same room.

Lola seems you and others are all having teething issues :-/ I'm not looking forward to that!

I haven't researched it as my first thoughts where surely it's dangerous but my sister uses these beaded bracelet things onto nephew an swears by them...ill look into them x

 

[dreamofabean]

Aimze I've heard good things about those necklaces too, I wonder if they'd work around an ankle where it's safer??
I have to admit teething isn't great, but so far we've avoided your situation Lola! Bless your little man! Must be really uncomfortable!! Xx

Talking of teeth little pink has literally woken up with 2 new bottom teeth!! We have reached the grand total of 6 She really enjoyed chomping on a celery stick on Wednesday, probably quite cooling on the gums. The outreach workers recommend a banana put into the freezer to chew on, but little pink hates banana so it's a no go here! Ahhh the joys of teething

My sister bought this amber necklace in California for my niece when she was teething. Supposedly amber heated is supposed to be a pain reliever. It's up to you whether it works or not, but it's pretty much become my niece's fashion statement rather than its purpose anymore.

 

[aimze]

Yea my nephew wears the amber bracelet...don't know if it works but looks good haha!

Went "test driving" buggies today! Think we've found one we like just waiting on Xmas sales if it makes a difference! Ow exciting!!

[karenh]

I'm sorry you guys are having teething issues. That would be hard!

 

[LolaM]

oh yes, baby woke up with BOTH top front teeth fully poking out of the gum! he has 4 teeth now!

 

[Rainy123]

Both front teeth would make me grumbly too Lola.

Hope everyone is busy getting in the festive spirit. I am, always, super excited. Currently watching love actually and eating a mince pie before tackling the rest of the jobs.

So jealous of all of you spending Christmas with your babies - can't wait to join you next year! Fingers crossed!

 

[aimze]

Rainy I feel the same! Next year we will have our family Xmas!! X

Merry Christmas to all you lovely ladies!! To all the yummy mummies have magical days with your forever families. To all of you waiting then please believe that this will be you very soon. It's worth the wait and until then enjoy your 'grown up' Christmases (mainly involving alcohol and too much food!!) Love to all xxx

To all those waiting, hopefully the new year will bring wonderful news of your precious little ones.
Love to you all,
Dreamy, mr dreamy and little man xxx

 

[LolaM]

ahhh baby woke up SCREAMING at 2 am and stayed that way until 4. wasn't his teeth or his tummy or his diapy so I don't know WHAT the problem was but he would only stop if we picked him up, I rocked him then hubs rocked him then I rocked him again and I guess he finally wore himself out, but he has been whiney "pick me up" baby all day long...

MERRY CHRISTMAS LADIES!!!

 

[aimze]

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Question for those with little ones... I thnk I joined after you where linked...what is the linking process and the steps you have to take?

I'm really wanting to move with this little boy and have approval & matching on the same day an get this little beauty home! Xx

 

[dreamofabean]

Merry christmas everyone!!
Aimze when we read little ones CPR we contacted our sw who spoke to his sw and gave her our PAR. We met with his sw and chatted about littlie and it was agreed that we were a good match and there should be a match meeting. This didn't include us: just his sw, family finder, our sw and the foster carers. All was agreed on that date so then it was just waiting for panel. Obvs we had lots of court delays etc but that is generally how it goes! I think they generally say it takes 8-10 weeks between a link and intros normally. Does that sound about right to everyone else??
How exciting Hun!! A gorgeous little boy! Boys are ace! Apart from the fact they wee on you! little man had started doing it lately! Didn't do it for weeks and we've been sprayed 3 times in the past 2 days! Lol x

 

[LolaM]

ok, ive never been peed on, so how is it you guys are getting sprayed? You need a peepee teepee lol, or just keep the diaper over the wee until you get the new one ready! Baby boy has been ultra cranky the last few days, I don't know if its because of these BS visits or his teeth or both but I am over cranky baby! We had a great Christmas and I hope all of you did as well. SW will be here at 4.30, and im sure it will be the same ole, same ole...baby is having a diaper day and I just love his soft skin, I cant stop snuggling it and he is getting annoyed because he wants to get into stuff lol
