My OH has finally started painting N's new bedroom
we're moving him from the back bedroom to the front bigger bedroom and bought all new furniture and washable paint hehe! It's prob not gonna be fully painted till next weekend as he only has weekend days to do it but its very exciting! Then to start on the nursery..
He's been taking steps daily now and managed 4 steps in a row
he wants to walk everywhere holding just one hand he must be close to just taking off and walking himself! He's 1 in 26 days and I'm really hoping he'll be walking by then! He's coming out with all sorts of new words and his cheekiness just cracks us up daily I'm so in love with him!!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend0 -

A cut her 2 top teeth last night. 2 in one night d poor divil. 1 was kinda peeking through before but now there both out. She was a little unsettled around 11.30 so we gave calpol then not a peep until 7.30 which is a lil early 4 her. She had such a dirty nappy. Have never seen the like. Up her back and everything. I actually wretched and ive a pretty strong stomach. I ran a bath n put her in it she was that bad. Has had a sore bum for about week now but now its raw. Left nappy off as much as possible todayand wasnt 2 bad going to bed. But shes in great form all things considered. Can stop singing "all i want for christmas is me 2 front teeth" now.
Corn flour or bread soda is apparently amazing at clearing up raw bums in a day! Our PHN advised (thankfully eve never had the need to use it) and midwives are saying its great too! Might be worth a shot hope she feels better soon poor little mite
N broke through his 2 top teeth in 24 hours and it was a nightmare but he's in great form since 0 -

Oh never heard that. Was talking 2 both nannies tonight a different times and both suggested whipping up an egg white. Never heard of that either but sure first timer here never heard of any of these old wives tales. Ive been using caldesene and thought it was doing the job until today.
I may give something a go tomorrow. It is red raw the poor thing and she has about what looks like 4 bursted blisters on it.0 -
That sounds awful the brea soda is meant to be amazing and clear it within a day but like I said I've never used it.. I never hear of the egg before either.. I was actually at one of the Mothercare evenings and they suggested the bread soda (midwife) and they had a specialist there that helps clear sinuses for newborns (can't remember the name of them) and they suggested it too! Worth a shot if she's that bad perhaps?! 0

My little monster turned darling
has started sleeping for Ireland after 6-8 weeks of absolutely terrible sleep. Yesterday morning it was 8.10 and a 3 hour nap, this morning it was 8.40!! I felt like I'd won the lotto! He's eating all round him too so I expect him to grow a few inches very soon. 0 -

That's brilliant!! Gives me hope ye last 3 months of wakeful sleep and midnight screaming is a phase.... Last night was up from 12-1.30 then awake for the day at 6!
That was an improvement on 4....!!
Hope it's a phase... This too will pass... 3 months tho seems a long time for this kinda Craic to be persisting!
Hope the bum is better today succee? Baking soda is meant to be very soothing!
Cathy hope your dads ok, x0 -

My little man has an ear infection had to bring him to doctor on call on sat and now the poor little thing is pumped up on bloody antibiotics I hate giving them to him, only 16weeks. Hopefully he will be back to himself soon! He is loving Sophie the Giraffe too! 0

I wish my crittur would get on board with Sophie the Giraffe. She just wants to suck her fingers and is making them very sore. I had mits on her over the weekend and I felt like the meanest mammy ever. She'd go to put her hand in her mouth and then she'd remember she couldn't with the saddest little look on her face. 0

Ah the poor pet. Well now he only chews it if we put it there! Other than that he'll hold it and not pass a bit of remarks. He sucks his hands like mad too, knocks his dummy out to get them in! Have you tried putting Vaseline on her hands? To act as a barrier, not to stop her sucking obviously!movingsucks wrote: »I wish my crittur would get on board with Sophie the Giraffe.

Awe I really wanna bring N but my OH thinks its silly as he doesn't know who he is and I won't bring him for his 1st visit without his Daddy..
Ah that's a pity. I'm sure N doesn't understand what Christmas is all about either but he'll still get pressies, it's all about tradition ;-)
Decorations & tree are now up, J spent most of today sat in a pile of tinsel :-)
I ♥ Christmas 0 -
Yeah I put Vaseline on under the mit and it really helped. She had a big blister but its gone now thankfullyAh the poor pet. Well now he only chews it if we put it there!

She rolled from belly to back today for the first time, sadly she went off her nice play mat and onto the wooden floor she cried, then laughed. 0 -

My babygirl does that to if I put mitts on. N her hands always cold too even though rest of her is warm. But the way she scrunched up her face is terrible. N its then followed by a roaring cry. N I give in n take the mits off. She has me well trained. Hehemovingsucks wrote: »I wish my crittur would get on board with Sophie the Giraffe.

N has been taking loads of steps I think he's just about ready to go! I had him going 6&7 steps by himself yesterday loads and this morning it's like he forgot it all lol and won't step without my hand! Cheeky little monkey! He'll be 1 in 3 weeks it's all gone so quickly! Is there a pause button to keep them little for longer?! 0
-
A will be 1 tomorrow. Press pause now! The year has gone way too fast!!!
When I went to collect her from nursery earlier she came out with a big smile on her face and waving a little Spanish flag she had finger painted while she was there. I am so proud 0 -

Bread soda worked on A's bum. Put it in her bath sun evening and put sudocream and caldesene on it all day monday. Left the nappy off as much as could too OH got pee'd on
Yesterday looked so much better. Theres still little marks from the blisters but there fading. The top teeth are coming down more every day. It looks like theres going to be a little gap between them. Maybe when they come down fully it might not be the case.
Put up the christmas decorations today. Im so excited, had xmas music on and A laughing her little head off. She had great time playing with tinsel and just stared at the lights on the tree open mouthed.
I had a routine doc appointment today and decided to mention that over past few months ive been getting very bad pains in my knees and in past month or two it has got worse. Doc reckons its the start of arthritis due to hormone changes from pregnancy :eek: (it has only started since having A). I was pretty shocked to say the least. She recommended swimming and walking which i do alot of but dont get to actually swim much anymore as always bring A . Hopefully it doesnt get any worse.0 -
Xdancer happy birthday to A!!!
Enjoy the celebrations!
Tigress - yeah to N!!! So good he's walking so early!!! ESP with the new arrival coming so soon! Hope A does similar!!
Sucee - that pain sounds awful hope you get some relief, frightening stuff! Glad the teething is going better tho and the rash improved!
A is still not sleeping no sign or anymore teeth yet either tho! Think we could be in for the long haul! 0 -

DL she wouldn't be cold would she?
J started waking at 6:30 after usually sleeping until 8, I was blaming his teeth too until someone advised that he might be cold. I initially didn't think he was as I wrap him in a blanket & put him in a 2.5 tog gro bag & his room would be at 15.8 ºC at it's lowest but I figured it was worth a try so I added an extra blanket there 2 nights ago & he has gone back to sleeping until 8 again :-)0 -

Thanks ms - don't think she's cold tho as room 19-20 degrees and she's in a 2.5 tog with one cellular blanket! I've noticed tho she's grown so much in last 2 weeks ( doesn't explain the 2 months previous sleepless nights tho!!) her 9-12 month clothes were big 2 weeks ago and now are getting small!!!!!! She's only ten months on 14th! Between that and the crawling starting I'm hoping that's what it is and that she'll settle again soon!
She's never slept past 6.30 / so I don't mind that - think she's an early riser!! But I just hate her being up hysterical for an hr or 2 at 3 am!! If she would go 7-6 like she used to I'd be a very very happy girl!!!
That's amazing J sleeps til 8!!!!! A has her first nap at 8.30!!!! Hehe!!
I'm muchos jealous
Maybe baby number 2 will be a better sleeper......although with the kicks I've been getting at night it doesn't look that way!!!
All good tho - have a long weekend off work this weekend so will just spend my time like a slob snoozing at any given chance!!!0 -

Oh God, I'm really a mother. My husband just rushed in from the kitchen and gave me a big kiss. I was just about to ask him what had brought that on when he pointed out it was midnight and said happy birthday. I had completely forgotten my own birthday.:P
I still get taken by surprise that I'm a mammy now. 0 -
Little man is only just over a dose of vomiting bug and now he's coming down with a cold/flu... funny nose, chesty cough and fever... and his Birthday party was booked for Sunday and it's looking like it's going to be cancelled because of this..
Talk about timing. 0 -

Aww so sorry to hear J will be in hospital for his 1st birthday just make his party extra special on the plus side you must be relieved that something is finally happening?!
N was up all night roaring crying can't figure it out at all.. Calgel, Nurofen nothing worked and as the night went on you could tell his voice was going hoarse from the crying an coughing I love that he goes to crèche and that he loves it himself but bloody hell he doesn't half catch things from it!
As of tomorrow I'm starting to wean him off bottles.. Any advise? I've already starte weaning him onto cows milk, he has it in his cereal daily and I wanna get him fully onto it by the end of the year as new baby will be here by then and one of them on bottles will be enough
I'm thinking of making his morning bottle a beaker and giving him cows milk.. I've been looking online but there are so many places telling ya different amounts of how much milk they should be getting?! It's all very confusing 
0 -
hi tigress ...I think there are new guidelines on how much milk to give...its a certain amount of ounces a day as more than that effects icon absorption or somethin. I just hand him a bottle if milk and he drinks what he drinks.
our guy seems to have had a similar illness to N...screaming not eating or sleeping...its taken him 5 days to recover and to pass it on to the rest of us!
our fella is still has no teeth and isn't walking either...14 months next week. he'll walk along furniture and will take a few steps independently but just won't walk
ms2011 hope j's surgery is ok and you find answers to whatever the problem is. special events are moveable dates...kids will always fall sick when its least convenient! lol
happy belated birthday iguana and best wishes to you and your family cathy0 -
N is really sick on stronger antibiotics and steroids to try boost him back! I feel like I've been living in the Doctors with him the last few weeks.. Darn kids bringing stuff into the crèche
14 months already Hannibal? Wow! N started walking along the furniture at 8 months and didn't take his 1st step until the start of Oct and would only take the odd one here and there and in the last few days has properly taken off! He'll be flying in no time maybe some dentures too hehe
