aww thanks kel..lol..
and omg little tara you beautiful little bubba girl good luck at your first photo shoot little sweetheart,and aunty cyber smithy agress your eyes are lovely and you beautiful pouty lips are perfect for photos ..just remember us all when your famous
way to go kelly.
oh that's great kellyd! what a good idea the modelling thing i mean, not bludgeoning the Dh lol. But my dh's solution to ash's crying is "i think he's hungry" lol. Such a male, all problems solved with food or boobs... so what more could a baby boy want but the combo deal! So hugs to you love and do try to remember not to be too cross at DH, he doesn't get as much time with her as you and needs to learn.. he won't do the timed feeding again i bet Ash was screaming the other day and i actually jsut walked away and said to dh as he was trying to settle bub "trust your instincts, you are doing great''. that was very hard to just let DH deal with it but otherwise we're making a rod for our backs if i'm the only one who can settle him.
ash is hhhmmm he is, ummm, having troulbe nodding off through too much oohhing, aaaahhhiing,gooooing and garring at himself. followed by a small chuckle at how smart he is lol. as a result after 20 mins of that he's soooo tired he starts to cry lol. probably shouldn't laugh but OMG they take themselves so seriously that someone HAS to laugh.
but BW my first thought re your neighbour dilema is 3am, work night, back fence, screaming child. ooh no better, 6am saturday when they are trying to sleep off friday night.
Have you thought about contacting their real estate agent to complain or getting all the other nieghbours to gang up?
gotta run. bb later tomorrow for some chat.
hi smithy, neptune, murph, lenny, janie, marcellus, saph and all the girlies here ox
I finally figured out how to put a pic on my signature
Kelly great job on the modeling front for your little one, good way for her to pay for her own nappies hope it works out well.
Well I guess Linc is definatly sensitive to cows milk protien too. Last night was back to how he was prior to the soy formula and would only settle on me. I'm so tired. So back onto the soy formula even if the GP suggested lactose free, "not working"
Sugar water seams to be working thank goodness. Bit vague today but really wanted to share my little pic of Linc. So proud of myself for figuring it out.
Well done on figuring out the pic Green! He's a cutey. for your mum too
at your neighbours smithy. they sound horrid.
I hate that thump thump loud music too. Thankfully we have nice (quiet) neighbours
Our house is a complete shambles - having kitchen rennovated. Can't wait to clean up and put everything back where it's supposed to be. A is having a great time helping his grandad with the work (he has his own tools)
way to go green he is so cute hun ,sorry your so tired again hunny ,wish i could come round and give you a break hun ,but big hugs for you sweet girl ,hang in there this wont last foreva.
grub luven your new ticker pic too hun way to cute .
afm.. we took bubba c too have her needles this morning and omg how terrible is that ,she screamed down the drs surgey and i felt so sad for her ,but would rather her have them than getting whopping cough or something else .so now dh is cuddling her on the loung as shes a bit restless and id say needs heaps od cuddles today poor poppet.BUT OMG GIRLS guess what ..my girl went to bed at 10pm last night and i didnt see her again till 5am then she had a big feed a pooy and went back to be till 9am only to have to wake her for the dr im so proud of her today what a good baby aawww i luv my girl lol..i put her in her basinett in her own room last night so she couldnt hear us and its worked a treat, gave her a bathe and baby massage round 9pm so must have worked woohoo.
Green, just quickly... sounds like it's a cows milk protein intolerance rather than a lactose issue.
Friend's bub had the same issue - for one child goats milk formula was ok, but the next was intolerant to the proteins in that one as well and he had to go onto neocate - an elemental formula only available on prescription. If you're worried about soy (and I would be, but that's me!) then neocate could be the best option.
that's wonderful smithy... and I love your ticker pic gorgeous.
we had the same thing,, ever since Ash went into his own room everyone sleeps much happier Someone else mentioned it.. but i also can't cosleep. it just doesn't work for us... well me. but i have a bad back and find it incredibly uncomfy plus i only ever doze not sleep.
marcellus - i bet granddad is having a great time too!
my girls has slept again
from 8pm till 2am then had a feed went back to sleep till 6am had a feed and still in bed even after her needles yesterday im so proud of her maybe shes finally finding some routine,i gave her a bath late again and another beautiful baby massage .
so im off to do the food shopping and to buy a new baby monitor there one on sale at toyworl for $40 bucks down from $100
have a wonderful day beautiful mummys its a lovely rainy day here today bit cool but beautiful actually i think thats been helping charlie too its been cooler so shes not so hot all the time.
I need to have a bit of a grumble... and then I'm going to bed - EARLY!
I'm exhausted from work this week. And this is just the setting assessment phase - on Monday the marking begins and I'm so not looking forward to it!
Anyway... I had to do a GTT a couple of weeks ago and finally got to see my GP about the results yesterday. With my first one, my insulin at the 1 hour mark was something like 297, but with the latest one I only got to 220-ish. Still pretty horrendous when you realise that it's not supposed to get above 80!
So it's back to metformin for me. I don't know if many of you had metformin as part of AC, probably just the PCOS girls... But I'm sure if you've had it before you'd know why I'm worried. I took my first tablet tonight - after having pasta for dinner! Could be a rough night ahead!
At least if I end up having to take the day off work Sam's at daycare so I can relax in peace and quiet at home - and probably go mad cos I'm not used to being alone any more. Will be a rough night, too - DH will be at church until late so I'm doing dinner, bath and bed solo - and Sam's so set in his ways and there's certain things I have to do and other things that daddy has to do... ugh! I have confidence that we will manage. DH went out briefly last night and I had a bit of a meltdown and when Sam saw the tears he just snuggled up with me. He went from hyperactive psycho chicken to snuggling quietly in an instant because mummy was upset. He's such a sweet little boy - offers to share his dummy with us, and his bottles.
oh bw i spit in the face of metformin. you poor thing, i was on it for a few years before we conceived Ash and it really is not that pleasant. sending you a big hug hun. take it easy and what a good boy Sam is! how sweet.
We are off to our first ABA meeting today and despite what my ticker may say, Ash is 12 weeks old today
He has settled from the screaming unhappy bub a few weeks back and is sleeping better at night... last night 5pm feed 6pm bed; 8pm feed; 2am feed; 6.30am feed and he's just gone back done again lol. So i definitely think it was wonder week/growth spurt.
kelly d - how was your mum's group the other day?
my mum's group organised by community health is getting together next weds for a St Pat's themed morning tea I arranged it but its at another lady's house. I'm so excited because I won't have to spend my birthday alone at home now although i'm not telling the ladies it's my bday cos i don't know them very well and jsut feel odd about forcing strangers to wish me a HB.
anyhoo, i have to go and find some green things to make for morning tea hahahhaa
wonder how murph's move is going? well i hope.
and Green how are you love? has linc settle a bit more for you.
I am in disbelief!!! DS has gone for a nap and has stayed asleep now for 45 minutes!!! I don't know what to do with myself. I keep on going in and checking on him LOL! I lay down with him on the bed and he had a good feed and fell asleep. So for the first time I didn't stay lying beside him but got up and he stayed asleep!!!!! We will get there eventually!!!
BW: Yucky, I didn't have to take Metaform but there is nothing worse than taking meds that react badly with you.
Poppy: Yay for your little man, hopefully he can have some more big sleeps for you now.
Smithy: for Charlie and sleeping longer as well. I found once Tara was in her own room she slept better. I think it is because when she was in our room I woke up everytime she made a noise but since being in her own room when she wakes during her sleep cycles I don't hear anything and she then goes back to sleep.
Grub: Only one more pre arranged Mothers Group for us then we are on our own. I'm hoping the concensus is not 10am in the morning like it is now, it really mucks us up as Tara usually has her breakfast around that time and I have to take it all with me.
AFU: Well we are having our unsettled week this week. Night time sleeps are no problem but during the day..... I put her in bed when she is tired and she is now fighting going to sleep, we are having something like half hour screaming matches before she will consisder going to sleep and then she will wake herself up and we start all over again. Although yesterday I went to the hairdresser and for the almost 2 hours we were there she was fine, smiling and laughing at everyone and was more than happy to be held by anyone. So in public she is fine, it is just when she is at home. As I mentioned off to the hairdressers for me finally, the grey's were coming through to obvious and decided to go the chop as well. My hair was fairly long, and I was so sick of all the hair everywhere (i'm still malting) I decided to get it cut up to collar length. Should be much easier to do in the morning now and as my hair grows so fast anyway it will be long again before I know it. Oh, has anyone else been suffering from exhaustion lately (not the sleep deprived variety)?? I've been going to bed around 9.30 at night and crashing (sometimes I don't even hear Tara at night and DH gets up to check on her) and when I wake in the morning I'm still so tired. This has been for the past week to 2 weeks, maybe it is everything catching up on me now.
Well... not doing too badly. Just one nasty attack this morning, but if you'll excuse the TMI, it has cleared up the nasty issues I was having with constipation so I actually feel a lot better for it now. Just a bit - I should not post under the influence of sedating drugs! Don't worry - they're all on prescription.
Poppy: More than likely her Wonder Week. She was due for one at 20 weeks on EDD which would make her 21 1/2 weeks the correct time. Only took me 45 minutes to get her to go down for her morning nap, and she has only woken once screaming. I'm also going to try spacing out her food for her for the next few days, instead of doing the normal 3 feeds as she has gone off her food as well (typical wonder week sign) but I don't want her to decrease her fluid intake.
OMG, I also can't believe that Tara is 5 months old today. I tell you girls time has flown by so fast. It is hard to believe that she has been with us for that long...
yep as of yesterday at 2.50pm IM A GRANDMOTHER to a very healthy baby boy..chayse bruce 6pd 6 oz
well girls my secret is out ,the only one ive ever kept from the bb world ,only one bb girl has ever known about this little secret but im just to happy to be keeping it a secret any more actually ive always been a little bit embarassed by it but from now on i DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK LOL..
my 16 year old daughter gave birth yeaterday after a very long hard pregnancy,when she origaNNALY came home and we found out she was pregnant i could have killed her ,and was so worried what we would all do,but with a tone of help from my mother we have all managed very well and now my girl is a mummy
she had a 6hr labour with only a bit of gas towards the end and only a couple of stitches we are all so very proud of her and bubba boy is just beautiful.
the only thing she said to me yesterday was " omg mummy im never doing that again "
so girls at 33 years old im a nanny and actually very happy about it
thank goodness sophie is living with my mum atm or we would have 2 babies in this house lol.
Marcellus Thanks also kitchen reno's are hard work, hope you have a great BBQ
Smithy Thanks, I think it's the ruitine changes that are the hardest. One moment it's this then it's totally different. Learning to go with the flow. Hard for a capricorn Poor Charlie but I second the needles, loads of cuddles. for good sleeping well done. and congrats on being a granny, good timing.
BW yep I second the diagnosis but that means no dairy still for now. will have to do some more reading on it. I'm going to get a prescription from my pead. I took Metmorphine for PCOS. haven't gone back on it, just go slow on the dose it can be a bit explosive. hope your night was beta
Grub he was great last night, he's sleeping on his side. I know I know not good but it's working, I have wedges and check him but same thing 7pm feed sleep on me then down till 11pm then 3am then 6am No sling to settle just burp for 10mins and he was out like a light. Not holding my breath but fingers crossed.
Poppyfairy yayayayaya
ATM Linc is getting more settled no sling at night to settle just bottle burp nappy burb sleep. I did leave him on his back for a bit long last night and up came a feed but I know now to only help him with wind when he's sitting up after a feed. Oh well it's all learning.
I had a big BLOW UP at DH yesterday. I lost it with him cos I rang and he was drinking and having a great time and when he hung up he didn't say love you. I was so annoyed I'm ok with the working on his house but not the party. We spoke afer and it wasn't an organised gathering so I'm ok and he's coming home a day early which is good, My mum did her back and can't even lift Linc so really no help. I'm so ready for someone to take over for a couple of feeds and let me sleep. DH has been warned to be ready to land and be hands on right away. he did say he is so nervous with him cos he's so small. i said the only way to get over that is to spend time with him. So hopefully my blow up soaks in sometimes it's needed.
Oh good Green, yes, sometimes that is needed. Dads often feel that way, but they're only going to get better with practice!
Wow, Granny Smith! Congratulations!
Eeerrr, so, so far so good BW...?
That's great Poppy! Make the most of it when it happens
Happy Birthday Grub
I soooo wanted to sleep when DS had his nap today. But unfortunately he's decided he does not want a nap today. Sigh. The bright side is that he should be in bed early.
aww thanks kel..lol..
the modelling thing i mean, not bludgeoning the Dh lol. But my dh's solution to ash's crying is "i think he's hungry" lol. Such a male, all problems solved with food or boobs... so what more could a baby boy want but the combo deal! So hugs to you love and do try to remember not to be too cross at DH, he doesn't get as much time with her as you and needs to learn.. he won't do the timed feeding again i bet
