wow

Atleast you guys can put their behaviour down to an age thing, though I guess that doesn't make it any less annoying.
My little mongrel was refusing everything except fruit and dessert but I rang Plunket and implemented Operation "Take the power back" and now she eats anything I put in front of her or she goes hungry.
Was very sick of being walked all over but the plan seems to be working because she eats lots more and now sleeps through the night again! yay!!!

argh, paris has decided that no veges are good at all, andn ow meat is no good either. for a while there as long as you put tomato sauce on it she would eat it (we only put a few dots), now the crafty little poo scoops up the tomato sauce and eats that and that's it, and will put the meat in her outh, suck off the sauce and spit the rest out. she used to eat yogurts, has now decided that nope, she won't eat them either. she also used to think nuggets were all good.. tonight she wouldn't even touch them.i think i am going nuts. i wish i could do the take the power back thing.. i'm trying but it just aint working!!! i never thought i would have this trouble with er, she used to be such a good eater.. now i swear she gets sick cos she's not eating enough.. i could give her vitamins, but she needs to learn to eat. good to know i'm not alone though.

Threats work with Alyssa. Like if you dont eat 2 more peices of dinner (have to make it acheiveable) you wont be able to play your nemo game. Or no hairy mclairy story. It works for us. Dont know if thats what your ment to do though. We have a sticker chart for her doing poos in toilet but i dont think that would work with food. Shes usally pretty good though (back to food) but have to use threats to get her to try veges. I guess lucky she likes fruit.

ditto Ana....

how you feeling? 5 weeks to go.....

nup, with paris, all she hears is what she will get, she doesn't get the "if you eat this" part of it.

She used to eat really well at daycare, but aparently it's become the same there, she used to love pasta.. now won't touch it. won't eat fruit at morning snack, no veges, no meat.. they just give her sammies now.. glad they decided to tell me this today! argh!

we stopped the bottle cos we thought that was what was filling her up and making her not want to eat.. that worked for a week.. and she still was fussy. but then, she's been saying about wee-wees alot. at first i thought it was just that she was becomming aware of when she was going.. but on and off for a few weeks now she has actually been upset when she goes,so imade her drink more water just in case it was that. but now she will cry. and it has gotten to the point where sometimes yesterday she wouldn't want to sit down. she's drinking heaps, yet her nappies have been dry (thought maybe she was going heaps at daycare, but no, they only tell me this today as well that her nappies are dry there too.. even though i asked them about it a few weeks ago) so i guess it's off to docs tonight. hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.. and maybe once whatever is wrong is fixed she might feel like eating again. here's hoping.    

I am 26 weeks and not too big and yet finding it very difficult to sleep or get comfortable...when I sleep on my side, the baby kicks really hard!

If I sleep on my back, "apparently" I snore in a funny way....and I am feeling heavy so getting back aches. Ah the joy of pregnancy!!!!

At least you only have 5 weeks to go...imagine me...14 weeks!!! Oh well It will be all worth it!!

Poor Baby!
Hope she gets better....urine infection is not the best thing to have (child or adult).

I agree with Maria...all those things are meant to be helpful. Keep us updated!

Damn really? No one told me....
Ok....no more sleeping on back for me. I am finding it so hard to find a comfortable position to sleep....arrggg.

Thanks Janine for that info.

Well it is right or left for me now....mainly left.
I use to always sleep on my tummy, but now I am scared, I dont wanna crush the baby...and it is too uncomfortable anyway.

yep, put one behind your back and wedge it under yoiur side, and one under your tummy doing the same thing, and lol, if you stick one between your knees (if you usually curl your legs up) it takes the pressure off. i was like the pillow queen, mike had no room in our bed.

bummer about the formal thing..
argh, i am missing out on cocktails tonight at mike's work's new building opening.. makes it a long day when he left at 7.30 this morning and won't be back till 7.30 tonight.. and i have a sick kid and a baby that is being a grommet today. oh well, will get him back when i go on nursing placements.. just think of all those 12 hours shifts that he will have to do the bedtime routine etc.. (not that i'll be awake enough by the end of them to gloat about it)
