I put Delilah down at 7:30pm last night. She woke at 6:45am this morning. I quickly stopped by my computer to check on an B&B girl who was testing after IVF today (BFN) and by the time I got to Delilah’s room, she had fallen back asleep. It’s now 7am and she and Tim are both sleeping! I’m at a loss of what to do right now! LOL! So I’m finally catching up here.
Mel, I’m just catching up on what’s been going on with you. I’m so sorry about the GD. It sounds like you have a good diet plan. And what’s going on with Gord’s sister? I think you are right, she clearly needs to talk. It’s so nice that you are willing to talk to her. It can be intimidating talking to someone who is having so many issues. You are a good SIL. Oh, just read your latest update about her. Does she have known mental health issues? Something doesn’t sound right.
Vicky, your baby is officially turning into a toddler. It’s crazy how quickly it happens! I’m trying to cherish my baby time. I know it’s going to be gone soon. So funny that you are used to partying on your bday! I know the feeling. It used to be the event of the year for me! I hope you had a few drinks with your cake and sexy time at least!
Round, our friend’s little boy was completely obsessed with toilets. He always had to look inside the tank, even at restaurants! His parents indulged him in his obsession. He wanted to be a plumber for a while. He’s 5 now and has outgrown it. Yay for sleep! I highly encourage trying to wean the midnight feed. Bryce doesn’t need it. He probably doesn’t need the 3am feed either, but one step at a time, especially if you are enjoying it. I had my husband take the shift I was trying to wean. He picked her up and cuddled her until she fell back asleep. She looked for the boob, but quickly fell back asleep when there wasn’t one. It took 2 nights of this and since then, she has slept through that feeding. Now she wakes anytime between 4am – 7am for her first feed. The norm is around 6am. Just read your second post about not weaning until after your trip. I think that is a very good idea! No need to stress yourself out. I’m sorry about your mom. My step-father also had dementia. It is an awful disease. I can’t remember if I told you, but my job was to help family members who were coping with loved ones who had dementia and other illnesses. Dementia is one of my areas of expertise. Let me know if you have any questions.
Sparkly, I can’t believe you are 22 weeks! What an amazing twin bump you have. Eeeek! You are going to have 2 daughters soon! Do you have a plan for delivery? Are you going to try and go vaginally or are you going to schedule a c section? I remember the insomnia days of pregnancy. I was so annoyed. Definitely training for the real thing!
Virginia, congrats on the good marks for your class. That can’t be easy when you have little ones to take care of! What kind of work do you want to do with your studies?
Lucy, good luck on your scan. Will be stalking. I hope you feel better soon.
Allie, welcome home! It was soooo awesome meeting you and Alistair in real life. I had such a wonderful time with you both. I’ve been thinking about you a lot and have a ton of questions. I’ll post them in your journal. I’m so mad though. I didn’t take one picture! We were so busy chatting, we didn’t do a very good job with pics. I know you got a few though.
I saw Yogi’s post on FB! Congrats Yogi!
OMG, it’s 7:30 and she’s still sleeping! New world record in our house. My only concern now is that her nap schedule will be off and I might not get a 3rd nap in. I love her 3rd nap because I get an extra break in my day and I can keep her up later so she can see Tim before bed. Oh well, it was worth having my morning to catch up on the Disco thread. My girl turned 10 months old on Wednesday
She is still doing the army crawl, but is very efficient. She learned how to sit up from the lying down position and is pulling herself up to standing on everything she can get her hands on. I had to lower her crib mattress last weekend. She's cutting her 3rd tooth. She's a bit whiney at times, but I read that it's a phase. Especially when they are learning something new. Over all she's a delight and I'm more in love every day if that's even possible.
(sorry if someone already posted this)
