Canadian Moms & Moms to be!

umm at that age we just kept rotating stations in the evenings, exersaucer to bumbo to the jumperoo to the floor etc. until bedtime. She only lasted about 15 mins in each station though. It's hard at that age. This is actually the first time I've taken a nap away from Hannah and it kinda came about on accident. We'd been so busy for two days she missed a nap and I realized it meant she slept longer in the morning

Hannah didn't sleep through the night until she was weaned onto 3 meals plus snacks a day and that's when we realized no matter what time she went to bed she slept until the same time in the morning

So I went from having a baby who slept 8-10hours straight a night for the last like month and a half to her getting up last night to eat at 12:30, 2:30 and 5:30! She also thought at 5:30 it was storytime and time to be extremely loud with all her squeals of excitment! Luckily her bottle put her to sleep until about 8:30ish. I hope this is just a growth spurt maybe and not going to be an everyday occurance!!

Claire did that at 3 months. Drove me crazy! It's probably the growth spurt. Mine was somethin' cranky too.

Speaking of cranky, she's super cranky today. I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the crib!

 

[Vickie]

Hannah's in a good mood for now, well she's sleeping now but was in a good mood this morning Clingy clingy yesterday though

 

[Tiff]

Claire wanted NOTHING to do with me this morning. Normally I get huge smiles when I go and get her from her crib, but this morning it was just a look like "Oh. It's you."

I got a slight grin once, but of course as soon as Daddy comes downstairs she's all full of huge gummy grins! Guess it's a Daddy Day today!

 

[Vickie]

The only thing Hannah cares about in the mornings is her bottle........only time of the day she wants the darn thing

Helena is a bit whiny today, but she slept through!! YAY!! finally she is understanding

I think she is grouchy because Brian was the one that got up with her today, and its usually me. He isn't as fun as me. I sing a little song, open the blinds, change her diaper and let her play with a toy while I do it and ask her what her dreams were.

Brian probably stumbled in her room in the dark and put her diaper on backwards or something.

 

[Vickie]

you're awfully cheery in the mornings, I can't say that I am

 

[pinkmac85]

how do you get a 3 month old to take her bottle she last ate at 5-5:30 and its 10 now-she's been crying a bit so I try to feed her but she keeps pushing the bottle away or just chewing on the nipple!

 

[tasha41]

You said she's teething right... that might be why!! Not sure how you make them take it though The wiggling it around in her mouth/tapping on the bottle when she's got it in her mouth always makes Elyse eat still lol.

Yah I think its from teething. I tried to make her take more by wiggling it around but it ended up just pooling in her mouth-she caughed and it sprayed everywhere

 

[tasha41]

Does anyone get GST cheques?? lol. I have a question!!

If I got 93.25 or something before I had Elyse, why do I get 60.50 now? lol

 

[tasha41]

Or does this mean I'm getting $60.50 more now every time I get it? bc I got it in April for 90 something.. and I'm only supposed to get it every 3 months??

 

[pinkmac85]

it's sooo confusing!! i got something in my bank the other day for 255$ I thought it was my CCTB but when I called and asked they said no I haven't gotten my CCTB yet, I get this 255$ every 2 months because I have no income or something! Woohoo for being poor

 

[tasha41]

I know I wish they wrote in what it is going into your bank account!!

 

[nataliecn]

Tasha, did you get some random amount in your account on the 22nd!?!?
I got my baby bonus stuff on the 20th.. and then on the 22nd there was a random deposit of $60 some odd dollars in my account, and i have NOOOO idea what it is..
GST doesn't usually go into your account except for the 4th of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct....

 

[BlackBerry25]

I don't even get any gst. Fuckers!!

Yes I am rather chipper in the mornings and I guess don't worry about the bottle Em, she will eat it when she gets hungry. Sometimes they don't eat as much when they are teething. One time H hardly ate for 3 days.

 

[tasha41]

Nat I figured it out-- it's an adjustment to our GST $$

We had babies-- we get 60.50 extra now, they credited us for April, we'll get that much extra on our GST now whenever it comes out normally.

(That's my understanding of it anyway, I get mine in the mail)

It's dated May 22.. so I got it today.. yours is direct deposit I guess!

 

[Tiff]

OH and I made too much money last year so I don't qualify for GST. Actually, I haven't recieved GST for a few years now.

You should recieve statements in the mail, or you could always call and try and figure out what you are getting and why.

 

[nataliecn]

Hmm. I got another $68.96!
I won't complain!
More moolah! LOL
