Parenting after LT TTC #3

[grub17]

oh janie you sound really happy and upbeat... maybe we should all go on an overseas holiday! glad you had a great time. those pics are going to be like gold in a few year's time lol.

thanks neptune, i did got back to bed for a small nap. We are now hiding out in the lounge with the a/c as it's supposed to get to 35+ with hight humidity here today... ugh. so i got in early with the a/c.

lol i agree BG ... we talk about great stuff on these threads. i believe there was a very funny discussion on the pregnancy folder about sex and who is doing what and when lol. I still remember what Smithy said Coop's comment about sex with a pregy wife was: Like riding a camel. lol

Acacia - glad you are feeling better. that exam study sounds like the last thing you need atm. Just tell em grub said you can stay and should just go back to bed!

thanks for your advice BW

gotta run. getting paged..

oh does it count as rolling if he rolls off the towel put under his chest during tummy time?? he's done it twice this morning! oxo

Just wanted to comment on Grub's ticker.....Ash is too cool for school, that is a gorgeous shot of him

Wow everyone is about today.

So her is my bit to add to such an interesting conversation....

Re: pooing... As you know Tara is a FF baby and has had no problem from that end. We always get 1 nappy a day (sometimes 2 if we are lucky) generally in the morning, mid way through her morning feed. DH did the change today and did it too early and after the nappy was off the "Mr Whippy" van arrived again and deposited it all over the change table , lucky I have cloth nappies on the change table for any accidents. I then made him rinse the nappy out and get the soaker bucket organised.

BW: No offence about the solids, and all advice is welcome. The first few times I tried Tara on solids she didn't show any interest but now she will try to grab the spoon and feed herself. I decided to start her as every mealtime she would watch us like a hawk when we ate and copy our mouth movement. Now when she eats she has also learnt how to use her tongue to swallow and not push everything out. So far there have been no adverse reactions for us, but it is interesting about the food allergies. A friend of our's little boy has severe eczema and has been diagnosed with all kinds of food allergies, he still hasn't had solids as yet and he is almost 7 months old. Maybe some kids are more suseptible than others.

Big hello to everyone else.

That such good news Smithy, maybe Charlie's system needed some time to get used to the thickened formula.

That's great news Smithy! Such a relief.

Adam had his 4 month immunisations today They were yucky, but he seems fine now. Last time he got quite drowzy so I will watch for that again, especially hearing about KellyD's Tara's symptoms.

I'm coming down with something, very sore throat and headache, hope I don't give it to Adam!!!

Hi to everyone!

Hiya,

thanks everyone for all of your congrats and well-wishes on the job and moving to Kangaroo Island. It's very exciting, but it won't be forever so it's just another experience for us and we aim to come back up to be with family again after not too long . As much as I love it up here, in the middle of the smashing rain, broken ferry cables which left jazz and I stranded for oh gawd, about 8 hours onthe wrong side of the river the other day, (these feckin mossies, sandflies and stifling heat), it's a great time to set our sights on such a totally different climate..plus there's seals and penguins...I'm there!

DH is away at the moment (suffering terrible homesickness for his girls), but he had to give a presentation in Sacramento - the Canberra of the U.S I think When he gets home next week, we pack up, clean up and take off. we are taking a week to travel down by car with the pups..yay...I love a road trip!

Janie, sounds like the trip was everything your lovely man wanted you to have after all you've been through. So glad you all had a great time.

Oh Smithy, what sweet relief for you both. i have been checking out your pics again...so sweet and your older girls are just lovely. you have a really beautiful family. you must still be pinching yourself hey??

grub, i can't remember what you wrote hunny, but i remember thinking (as usual), "me too", Just don't ask what, Iswear i never lost my brain while pg but i am making up for it now,

while jazz is in my arms, can't keep going with persies, so back to everyone's fave subject...moi. I can't even reach the icons cos jazzy's fat head is weighing me down.

we had a therapy session yesterday and it was fun! when i get dpwn south though, i think i will do the therapy via internet out reach. someone asked if it will be easier to get to appointments down there...nup! 45 mons by ferry, then hour and a half t Adelaide and I am no city driver, I'm a country hick. Cairns and townsville are more my style for big city driving and with andy working, I won't be able to get him to drive me so me thinks, stay home and play when I can and just go to the big appointments with Andy when I can for all the cochlear stuff.

Anywho, best go and get the little tike to bed and off my arm....awww, she is so lovely. Ni night from Jazzy.xoxoxo
