OMG, Angel, they are gorgeous. Now I know why Dom needs to be rocked throughout the night: he realizes that he looks like a to-die-for baby model in this position and is hoping to be discovered. Silly babies. They never understand how these things
really work.
All joking apart, the Cashmerino Blanket (patent pending) put J to sleep in 1/3 the time it usually takes him for his nap this morning. He was screaming, like he does, then got quieter quite fast, and then actually went: "ooohhh" and fell deep asleep. Not even partially asleep like usual, but totally asleep. And I didn't even get beat up like usual.
But Last Night, he woke for his bottle at 3:30 (again!). After my husband fed him, and went back to bed, he started to PAR-TAY, but entirely without us. He is so excited about babbling that he just practiced and practiced for an entire HOUR, getting louder and louder and punctuating his "babadadababadada" with shrieks of joy. I actually only woke up, though, when the cat sat down in front of his room and wailed at his door. At this point he was yelling "LALALALALALALALALALA!!!!!" at the top of his lungs. She was either so there could join him (unlikely) or to tell him to shut the ef up. Eventually my husband took him downstairs where they both continued to practice "dada." No one seems to care about "mama"!
Angel and Borboleta, re: painkillers. I found with both Tylenol and Advil, J falls right asleep. It could very well be the absence of pain, but I assume the pain makes them very tired, too. I remember one night, waiting for the Advil to kick in and J was just writhing all over my lap and chest. That's got to take a lot out of a LO.
Angel--I would be as tempted as you were. Totally and utterly. I'm sorry it's been so crappy with Dom. Did you make it through Last Night alright?
Borboleta--so you don't know which one is coming through? How is he today? I can appreciate the clinginess; J was like that yesterday evening while both my husband and I were cooking dinner. I had to put him in his carrier and work like that (around knives and hot plates and boiling water... It was quite nerve-wracking, but I didn't know what else to do).
Sabrina--oh my lord, is she ever adorable! And I love her teeth!
Kosh--are you okay, hun? I'm looking back for a post from you today and can't find one. I also wanted to let you know that I'm getting braver with the veg and fruit. Yesterday, I gave him an apple and DIDN'T steam it. And he did really well with it. Maybe I'll work my way up to raw carrot when his top teeth come in.
tweetypie--Hi! I'm glad you came back! But I'm sorry that you're so tired. Can your DH help out at all at night?
Question for you about feeding--are you FF or BF? If you're FF, I found that the powder would eventually clog up the nipples, no matter how well mixed it was (and we had a special mixing jug). I looked around for reviews, and Dr. Brown's bottles were the only ones that didn't have this problem and we switched to those. I even looked up Avent, and they had the same problem.
Or, it's teat size. If they're having trouble, then simply move up--forget about what the age recommendation is. J used to exhaust himself drinking until we figured out that the teat was too small, and after that, the minute he shows signs of having to "try" again, we move up a size.
Bmom--you
are so brave, so whoever said that your username is appropriate was completely right. I am so sorry about your losses and really admire you for your perseverance. I'll have to stalk your chart!
skweek--what is "blitzing" food? Oh, and go for the knitting! I only have the patience for small jobs like socks, and have recently discovered knitting toys. There's some great patterns on Etsy. Right now I'm working on an alligator and a monkey.
I hope I got everyone!
Oh, and I looked at J's upper teeth again, and they are so swollen (but he's fine, mood-wise, strangely). Plus, right at the very top, at the gum line, there are burst blood vessels. Any idea if this might be it, veteran top teeth mums?
. The medicine does it for him. Feel bad to give him 2 doses but if I was teething I would want my meds too
My last loss was just a year ago and still no bfp ,am one determined little bugger 
Hope you all get a good nights sleep 
So here is loads of
