Not even a busy couple of days on the thread but I feel so far behind.
Kate-read about Friday yesterday but had no time to post. Big hugs for your trying night and congrats on last night! that is sooo great
Did you at any point think Ryan was playing a game with you standing up so many times? I often will sit in the glider and let Cole play but I guess that's the wrong tactic...he then thinks it's play time.
Naomi-totally cute cut. I so wish I had wavy hair. Sorry it didn't work out with Janean, but at least you found out early. Good luck searching for a replacement.
Nikki-what wonderful pics. I can't believe how much they look alike!
Holly-did i miss something re: Brady on the chat? anyway, guess it's water under the bridge for now with your good night sleep. (oops-shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) As for your dad. I so hear you girl. My invincible father goes in for triple-bypass tomorrow and thinks he'll be home Wednesday. Last time he went in for surgery he came out 9 months later! Anyway, I know how you're feeling and I hope that you get to spend some quality time with dad and sis over the holidays.
Cathy-sorry about your eyes. what a drag! I didn't need glasses until I started working in front of a computer. Dreaded but blessed machines aren't they! YAY for your good sleep:)
Erin-have to say yippee for the new ring. but sorry the old one didn't turn up :cry:
Michelle-My gosh-poor Molly. I thought I had it bad last night but your night certainly takes the cake. Hope she feels better very soon.
Ankie-love the feeding gadget-very clever. and the pics are totally cute.
okay, now for us if I can remember our weekend. I'll start with dinner last night. Cole fed to sleep which seemed good as I was rushing to leave. As my hand hit the doorknob to leave he woke up. Oh well, I walked out the door
DH had decided to stay home. Later I heard it took 30 min. to settle him-no tylenol, MIL didn't pass along word that he could give it if needed. Then FIL and DH were doing something in the basement and made a really loud noise and woke cole around 9:30. He settled pretty well apparently. I came home at 10:30. I was tired and went straight to bed. Was going to feed Cole but thought-what if this is the night he sleeps through?? Up at 1:15 am (7.5 hours exactly after last feed) so I fed him, then up every hour I think on the hour. Settled back fairly well each time except he was gruntly and pulling up legs. had to give Oval. Oh ya, he had hard rabbit poops yesterday. Had given jarred bananas. Not sure if it was that. He was really uncomfortable so I let him sleep in my arms to keep him upright until the Oval kicked in. Another hard poop in the am so it was carrots and prunes (just a bit-first time) for breakfast. An hour later relief for our little man. Dinner was really good. I had sea bass-whole fish. YUM. It was so great to get out.
Today we went for brunch and Cole was late home for nap 2 so he fed to sleep. No biggie. DH offered to do bedtime. After reading Kates inspiring story I told him no holding to sleep, that he had to do pupd. Goes up at 6:07. And comes down when, 6:11, after ONE pupd. sheesh, not fair
:roll: :wink: :evil: Cole went right to sleep.
Okay-ENOUGH about sleep. TWO huge developments!
THE TEETH ARE HERE, THE TEETH ARE HERE. I can finally see them for real on the bottom. sooooo exciting. maybe this is why he went down okay. Not certain they are all the way through as he won't let me in his mouth.
COLE STOOD UP TWICE YESTERDAY. Isn't that crazy? I didn't see how he did it the first time but the second time I was sitting on the floor and he was squatting next to me with his hands on my legs. Next thing I knew he stood up and let go of me :wink: :roll:
:shock: Soooo crazy! I think it was for around 3-4 seconds although it felt more like 10:)
okay, gotta get off the pc because DH has to install a light fixture and we're not sure which electrical switch he has to turn off. I am sick of cole chewing on the tortiere lamp cord in the DR so we're installing a cheapie light fixture until we find one we like.
as i mentioned above girls, dad is in for surgery tomorrow. positive vibes this way please.
