No work today! Emma still sick *sigh* never rains but it pours in this house!!!
Cheers
I hope Emma feels better soon for you.
Pee - maybe Ryley is going through a growth spurt?? and that is why he seems extra hungry atm??
Kelly I hope Emma is feeling better very soon!!
I started Aidyn on his 6month+ formula today, and he LOVES it!! Normally he wont drink more than 120ml for breakfast, but this morning he polished off a whole 250ml!! It doesn't smell weird like the infant formula did. Maybe because the first ingredient is now skim milk, instead of demineralised whey protein...
Am off to the shops this afternoon... looking forward to getting out of the house SO much!!!
Only one day to go till my little boy is half a year old... Where did the time go??? WAHHHH!!!! :(
Oh damn, I just got to the end of the other post and was all fired up to write replies to everyone and now I lost my train of thought..has to be done though doesn't it Kathryn? 26 pages is a significant post and of course it is the 1st of nov today!
Okay well Ambah I can totally relate to the half a year old thing, they grow WAY too fast..Felix is only 2 weeks behind Aidyn (just wish he weighed as much)
Kelly I hope Emma improves, you know Felix has had more poos since he was 4 mths old after months of being down to 1 a day..I hope it's not the weight gain reason.
Well I went to see Dr today, one for his blocked tear duct whgich has been really bad lately, (it gets glued when he wakes up in the morning) He has had it since birth but usuallyI can get trid of the discharge with a bit of breast milk and saline, but this time it just keeps getting worse..so we had a swab for that.
As for weight gain, Dr wasn't too impressed with it, but wasn't panicking either. She took a urine sample (those baby wee baggies are too funny) and she said in 2 weeks if he still hasn't gained properly that we will look into things further eg refer him to a peditrictan. He has his needles in 2 weeks so it works out perfectly..
He had his stats done and he is still 7.1kgs and now 69 cms tall...! So in 6 weeks he has grown 4 cms but put on only 20 grams! Long and lean..
the Dr felt he was happy and healthy and developmentally doing fine, so things are okay right now but she will be keeping an eye on it..obviously I will be going to clinic every week to check his weight..anyhow..he is displaying all the "healthy signs" the nurse there said maybe that is his build! I wouldn't mind a few more fat rolls, he needs help holding his pants up!
Yeah has to be done. sorry :)
Love :hbeat:
Lol at Felix needing help to hold his pants up Katanya. Seriously though I hope Felix is ok and that he is just going to be a tall lean boy.
Kelly - Hope Emma is ok. It all seems to come at once doesn't it?
Well we had a busy weekend and was totally exhausted last night! Went out for late brekkie Saturday morning with DH and Hudson. Went to a new cafe just down the road and it was yum! I think we might even try to go there on a regular basis if we can find the $$ cos it was good for the three of us to get out and do something together. Then had to go down to the city. Went via mums so she could get her baby fix, and then to my sisters place for BBQ dinner. Stayed the night there and Sunday went to visit IL's and pick up Hudsons cot from my aunties house. Thankfully we have been given a cot from my cousin, so =D> at not having to find the $$ for that! Hudson will have to go into it soon as he only has a couple of inches left in the bassinet and he likes to bump his head by pushing off with his feet lol! Just have to ask when all your babies started rolling from back to tummy girls? I know you have all talked about it, but I cannot remember for the life of me what was the average age? Hudson has spent any floor time for the last week furiously trying to roll from back to front, but hasn't yet got there. I thought it happened much later as he is only 14 weeks? It's too scary how fast he is growing up! Nearly into his cot and nearly rolling, gosh I'm getting all sentimental lol. Also having some feeding problems ATM with him. He is demanding feeds every 2-3 hours ATM but when he gets half way through the bottle he stops and messes around with the rest of it for ages, spitting it out then wanting it back, and chewing on the teat. He does eventually finish most of it, but I don't know why he is doing all the messing around. Any of you experience this at this age? I'm wondering if maybe he is just more aware of things and so once he is a bit full he want's to look around and play instead?
I just have a Grrrr to add too lol. I don't know if you all feel the same, but I hate when other people act like they know my baby better than me! When I spoke to my aunty on the phone I mentioned how he has reflux and then when we went to pick up the cot she and my uncle tried to tell me all babies bring up a bit of milk and Hudson doesn't have reflux, it is just normal. It really peed me off as Hudson definately does have reflux and I am quite aware that all babies bring up a bit of milk. We were there for all of 20 mins and in that time he only brought a bit of his feed up, but he vomits constantly from one feed to the next and does several projectiles a day. It is NOT normal, and the Dr and CYH nurse who saw him for 2 hrs every week for six weeks assured me that the amount and frequency of his vomiting is not normal. We are taking him to the Dr's this friday to revisit the problem as it is getting progressively worse, but I just want to say Grrrrrrr at people who doubt our knowledge and instincts as mothers! We spend 24/7 with our babies and I think we know them better than anyone else no matter how much experience we have or haven't had. Anyway, that is my whinge for the day lol. Sorry Girls, it just really ticked me off ROFL.
Hope everyone is H & H, taking the opportunity of a new thread not to reply to all I have missed lol.
Marcia: I KWYM about people telling you that they know better about your baby..It definatley sounds like Hudson has reflux, Felix used to do HUGE projectile vomits once or twice a day and they thought HE had silent reflux..So hudson definately beats him in that department. It is NORMal for babies to vomit mini vomits (the kind that coats their tubes) and then they said the big ones occasionally are normal too..eg when they are overfed or just "off" but vomiting after every feed or even most is REFLUX! I know you don't need to be reassured of this because you are aware of it..but just wanted to add another agreeable voice to your side!
I hated my mother and her friend always telling me "oh he's crying because he needs to be burped..or oh he couldn't be hungry AGAIN, he just wants to burp..they spent all their time with him trying to burp him when all he wanted was to be hanging off my breast! SIGH!
With the rolling thing, some people say that they rollfrom back to stomach first and others stomach to back..I think it depends on the baby..Felix rolled from tummy to back at 4 mths once and then didn't do it for ages again..and he has only once done the back to tummy thing..but now he rolls off his tummy easily..I guess because he preferes his back.. Anyhow as long as they have rolled both ways by 6 mths they are doing fine! (that is the developmental milestone in health books)
Hi Marcia
Just a quickie cause as you know Kameron is a bit sick atm (least lachlan is not screaming to go with it) anyway Lachlan was rolling both ways about 2 weeks ago.
Love :hbeat:
Marcia - Jacob has been doing the same thing with his feeds the past couple of days. Mind you, he has been feeding every 2 hours for a while now (not during the night though). He gets about halfway through and then starts playing silly buggers with it! Jacob also cranes his head around to look at everything whilst you're feeding him and it gets really frustrating LOL. So I think that being able to look around at things is half the problem now as he is getting so intrigued by things! He loves light shades and mirrors ATM.
I have also been thinking lately how quickly he's growing up as I've had to put his 000 clothes away and it's made me quite sad! I want him to stay little forever! LOL Of course there's lots of wonderful times ahead which I'm looking forward to, but YKWIM!
Jacob's been a bit ratty since yesterday....doesn't seem quite as contented as he usually is. Not sure what his caper is.....and he woke at 3.30 am last night for a feed which he hasn't done for several weeks as he always sleeps for around 9 hours overnight....so it was a bit of a rude surprise LOL. Hopefully we won't have a recurrence tonight!
Well can I just say there needs to be more doctors in this country!!!!
I can NOT get Asha in to the doctors today or tomorrow and it is really ****ting me (pardon the language). In the last 4 days she has had approx 1120mls in TOTAL of formula (she would normally have had 3120mls in 4 days) plus her breast feeds, but even those have been less than usual.
Anyway just wanted to have a whinge about it!!! Will take her to PMH tonight if she doesn't have her next bottle ... am getting worried about her.
Emma has a virus and will be fine to go back to school tomorrow. Will give her a dose of Nurofen in the morning and she will be fine. She asked to go back tomorrow!!!
Anyway have to go and get Jack from school ....
Cheers
Kelly: that would be enough GOOD doctors in this country! I'm sure you'd be able to find a clinic to take her, but really what could they tell about her given they have no idea about her history! I HAVE been told that teething can make them go off food (PH in mouth changes) but I think what you are doing is the right thing as if you feel it isn't right Mothers intuition is usually right!
Hope things improve..I can relate..I have spent the weekend triying to create a non distractive environment for Felix so he'll put weight on..he ate every 2 hours but no heaps..but better than the screaming or biting when I offered him extra feeds before!
Kelly I know how you feel. Kameron was sick all day and could not get him into a doctor either !!! my own would usually squeeze him in but he is on holidays ARGH. Was going to call a house doctor but the fever broke and he started picking up.
Love :hbeat:
Hey Katanya - try not to let it worry you too much about Felix's weight. If he is not sick, and sleeps well, then that is the most worrying things ruled out I guess. Maybe he is just waiting until 6 months to have his growth spurt. (but WOW at the 4cm in 6 weeks though!)
My cousins daughter Tahlia, who is two weeks older than Aidyn, has also been solely breastfed for the first 6 months. She has been on solids only for a couple of weeks now, and I saw Tahlia last week for the first time in 2 weeks, and it was amazing at the amount that she had grown, as well as putting rolls on. My cousin only really put Tahlia onto solids because the Dr suggested that it might help her to sleep better. She had been waking every couple of hours during the night, when a few months before she had been sleeping through!!
Anyway, I'm getting off track here, just thought I'd share that with you.
Anyway, I don't know if it was the solids that made her grow & fill out, or if it was the 6 month growth spurt, but either way I guess Felix is not too far off anyway?! :)
BTW girls, I know what you mean about them getting distracted when feeding... The only way I can get Aidyn to concentrate on drinking his bottles is to feed him lying propped on a pillow on the bed in my bedroom with the blinds shut, etc!! For some reason he gets more distracted when I hold him in my arms now...
Marcia - Aidyn first rolled over when he was 4 months. It was from tummy to back.
RE chewing on the teat... Aidyn only started doing that when he was teething, but I'm sure thats not the only reason that babies do it I guess!!
GRRRRR at your Auntie and Uncle, how frustrating for you to have to put up with!!
Kelly - My *fingers are crossed* that you can get into see a Dr soon and can get some answers.
I hope her appetite picks up again for her very soon.
I just have to say that I cannot believe how much of a difference those Infacol Wind Drops still make to Aidyns wind!! I thought he would stop needing them as he got older, so I wasn't too fussed when I ran out yesterday. But I was up 3 times with him lastnight due to wind, as I couldnt get a burp out of him after his feeds. So I bought some more this afternoon, and now he is burping again like clockwork!
Alrighty, thats it from me for now!! Hopefully the forums will be up and running again tomorrow night!! Although I will have graduated threads by then, LOL!
Hi all,
Ambah- a late grr at y our DH, mine does the same sorts of things, they just don't think by themselves!
KElly- I hope you get to the Drs soon, I know Jordan did the same thing and it was teeth related, but she was 7 months. My niece did the same thing very early and they had to withdraw all food so she would drink. Katanya is right as far as I know, teeth change the ph in the mouth and things taste different, so they may not like the taste even if they have had the same formula/bmilk all along. And I really feel for you with the nits. Jordan had them one year every week for 2 terms, when she finally changed seats in class, no more nits. We were beside ourselves, I treated her so often that I felt I could spot a nit from 30 paces.
Katanya- even though Felix didn't put on weight the 4cms is terrific, if you are going to monitor him closely then I think you will definetly pick up if anything else changes, but don't be too stressed about it. I remember my Mum telling me that she used to dread taking me to the health centre as I either put on nothing or next to nothing, or lost weight everytime, and the nurse used to always quiz her. But I was drinking etc but just didn't grow fast.
Everyone is in bed here so i am going to scoot off too. Jemma was awake at 3am this morning, had a cuddle with me for 10 mins, then Arron got her a bottle and I put her back to bed and she slept. jessica woke at 7.14am, so though my sleep was interrupted I had more than usual. After the feed she slept until 8.30. Jemma didn't get up till 10 but was so grumpy that I put her back to bed screaming at 1pm.
And I had Pooh everywhere, as I let her run around without her nappy so she remembers to use the potty, something went wrong though and I was on the computer, not watching like I should have been (I didn't tell Arron that though, he would have carried on), It was on the kitchen floor and all over her, I washed her and cleaned the floor, and next thing I knew she had the pot from the potty chair in her hands, pooh all over it and herself and all over the loungeroom carpet (lucky I'm married to a carpet cleaner). I was so mad at her, so we had to have another wash and then I just ran water in the baby bath and dumped her in to make sure she was clean. As much as I want her to use the potty I can't handle the bits and pieces all around the house. I have to watch her while she has no pants on or put her nappy on.
Goodnight
Michelle
Well after having a good look in Asha's mouth tonight I am more than sure she isn't eating because of her teeth! I think I am going to have an early teether!!! Hopefully they come through soon or go away. She is generally happy in herself and won't fade away to nothing but it is still a worry.
Emma will be home again tomorrow but Ryan has organised a day off to look after her. She says she wants to go to school but I want her to have a really good rest so she doesn't get sick again.
Jack is Jack, nothing changes with him LOL.
Time to do Asha's bottles then get to bed ... I am so tired looking after my girls today!!!
Cheers
Well Kelly that is good new, sort of. Jemma, my third had her first tooth at 4 months and the 2nd a week later. She was such a guts though nothing stopped her from eating.
Cheers Michelle
Hi all... wow so much to catch up on!!!
I hope all the babies who weren't well are feeling better!!
Marcia - I so KWYM about people telling you what your baby is like. I had heaps of people tell me Matilda didn't have reflux and was just an unsettled baby or a difficult baby and that there really was nothing wrong with her... GGGRRRRR.... they weren't the ones holding her while she was screaming after regurgitating or for those not feeding arching her back and throwing herself backwards, pulling her legs up in pain things.... You know Hudson best, and yes there is something wrong with him that he will grow out of, but at the moment things are the way they are... I got heaps of help from a reflux support group in Brisbane... and there is a national group, check it out on the net.
We had a great holiday, and Matilda was great considering the extreme stimulation and new sleeping environment and driving for 8 hours... she was most unsettled the day we left and the drive home, but that was ok because at least we were well rested for it.
ok...enough epic posting I'm going to catch up all those lost posts...
wow took me awhile to work out where to go!!
So anyhow!
Kelly I really hope that it is Asha's teeth that are causing the problem, either that or you have seen a doctor and got some answers.
Thanks everyone for your re-assurance about Felix's weight, I did some research and I found this about allergies contributing to lack of weight gain:
In terms of allergies they say that diarrhoea is a sign and:
"Some of the most likely suspects are cow's milk products, soy, wheat, corn, eggs, and peanuts.
Other suspect foods:
Any food that you or another family member is allergic to
A food that mom recently ate a large amount of
A food that mom doesn't like, but is eating while breastfeeding for the benefit of her baby
A food that mom doesn't like, but ate lots of during pregnancy for the benefit of her baby
A food that mom craves, or feels she has to have after a bad day
hmm does this mean no more chocolate...?? i figure i'll start with dairy or reduce it at least
OMG...Matilda is sitting up.
I put her in her pram so I could be on the computer after she's eaten & she could be on an incline upward to help the reflux (as the 10-15 minutes after eating is always the worst) and she's pulled herself up to sitting upright... 1 minute!!!
OMG Christy!! =D> for Matilda! She really is an early-bird with all her milestones isn't she?! That is so great. Now maybe she will be a bit happier too, as I remember you saying she was always trying to pull herself up and getting frustrated with it. Which BTW Hudson has just started doing every time I put him in his car seat or bouncer lol. Poor little man frustrates himself big time with trying to roll and trying to sit up. He's not quite there yet and He just loses it after about 10 minutes of trying. I have to watch him so closely now and pick him up before he really loses it or it takes forever to calm him down.
Well done Matilda. You will be walking by 8mths. Wont that freak your mummy out LMAO ;)
Lot of love from your favourite Aunty K :D
Woohoo for Matilda!!! Well done!!! =D>
Ok. Hudson is asleep so I will catch up now!
Katanya - Hope you might be onto something there with the food allergy thing. Not that I hope Felix has one, but at least you might be able to figure out what it is and change things to help him gain weight then. Good luck with it.
Christy - Glad you had a good holiday! Sounds like matilda co-operated well so that's the best part!
Kelly, Hope Asha is doing a little better today. fingers crossed that it is just teething then, and IKWYM abou the doctors. We are taking Hudson on Friday but it took a 2 week wait for that appointment. Could have booked him in with other dr's but I don't think much of the other dr's around here, so lucky for us it wasn't urgent.
Michelle - Lol and grrrrr about the poo everywhere. Although I'm sure it was not funny to you at the time. I am really not looking forward to the whole toilet training thing.
Tootie - I wonder if the waking up in the night is something that happens around 3 months because Hudson is doing the same thing after sleeping through for a couple of weeks. It is a real shock to the system once you get used to having more sleep again.
Well, we had a bad bad night last night. It started out well as DH and I went out for dinner for a friends b'day and he slept through the meal part of it and was pretty happy when he was awake. Anyway, once we got home he went to sleep but we didn't get to bed until after 12 ourselves after making up bottles, feeding dogs etc. Then he woke at 3.30am for a feed which was expected, but from then onwards he woke every hour and a half until 8am when I took him back to bed with me for an hour of half sleep with a numb arm because he wouldn't let me put him down lol. It was not good and I have to say I didn't cope too well with it. I was a bit grrrrr with DH because he didn't get up to help me once and when the alarm went off at 7 for him to get up for work I had to ask him twice if he would please change Hudson and put him back to bed after I had just fed him, before he actually bothered to get out of bed. I know he had to work today, but even once would have been a help. So lots of coffee for me today lol. I hope this is not something that is going to happen on a regular basis!
Marcia - I so know what you mean about being annoyed at your DH not getting up to help you!!!
I ask DP to do the morning shift with Aidyn ONE morning a week (Sat or Sun) and it usually turns into a full blown argument at 6am!! I dont see what the big deal is!! I do it 6 times a week without complaining once, and he only has to do it once, yet its like it is the end of the world!!! GRRRRR!
I hope you have a much better night tonight with Hudson (and DH too!!)
I hear ya girls!! I fllipped out yesterday as was doing houseworek and DH was sitting on the couch and Liam had been screaming for 5 mins (was hungry) and DH was going its ok he'll be right and didnt even give him a bottle.
The other night he woke up and DH informs me he was screaming for 5 mins before I even got out of bed. I was like why didnt you get up and he was like I was too tired!! LIKE I'M NOT!!
Well done Matilda!! Clever girl!
Great to hear the holiday went well Christy, hopefully you feel refreshed.
Oh Marcia, hope you get a better nights sleep. Jessica was awake crying on and off from about 2am last night until I gave her a bottle at 6am, I think she was cold, I'm going to put the extra blanket on tonight.
Good luck with your trial and error Katanya, hope it turns out to be something simple.
And Grr to the Daddies who don't want to share. Don't worry I have had 4 babies and done almost all of that part alone. Occasionally I get help I'd say once every 6 weeks or so. It's not much to ask but men can be like that sometimes (not all, and sorry to those who aren't).
Arron's 30th bday was today, He is out looking at Venus through hi birthday telescope, he loved it so I am happy!
Getting a bit stressed about money and xmas is just around the corner, about 8 weeks I think, as soon as our party is over I need to do some serious xmas shopping.
Goodnight all
Michelle
Wow Christmas is coming close isn't it??
Matilda caught a cold while we were on holidays and that was ok, but she's been up since 4am having problems breathing & has had a few projectile vomits,... but the worst is that she doesn't have a temp and I feel like I have to wait for her to have a temp before I worry too much... YKWIM??? hmmmm.... and this morning I woke up with a sore throat & ear.... this is probably what she felt like on our 8 hour drive... poor sausage.
Oh poor Matilda. Hope she doesn't get too sick with it christy.
Lol girls at your DH's. Glad to hear mine is not the only clueless one. Yesterday when he got home from work I said how tired I was and he said why? I told him how much Hudson had been up all night and he said ' oh I kinda remember waking up a couple of times when you got up, but I didn't realise it was that many times' . Typical huh? Uses ignorance as an excuse lol. He must be deaf if he didn't hear it every time what with Hudsons room being right next to ours and all my swearing every time I got up lol! Anyway he was pretty good after that so I shouldn't complain. He cooked dinner and made up some bottles while I had a bath with Hudson. Thank goodness we had a much better night last night and I finally feel myself again today after some sleep but I was a total zombie yesterday.
IKWYM Michelle about xmas coming up. We haven't even thought about presents yet and I don't know where we will find the money for them anyway lol! Luckily we have done my parents, IL's and my sister as we have given them framed photos from the professional ones we got done of Hudson. They already have them, but we told them at the time they are early xmas presents. Unfortunately DH is one of 6 kids, so we still have all of them to buy for. I hate xmas shopping and I can't see it being any more enjoyable this year with a bub to lug around too!
Just have to =D> my little boy!!! he just rolled from his back to his tummy!! He's been trying so hard all week and he finally got there. And he even did it twice just to prove it was no fluke lol! Had to stop him after that as he was getting cranky, think he wore himself out lol.
hi girls
grrr to all those hubbies and a bit grr to mine, you know he has not even changed one of lani's nappies yet and she is now 7 wks old - he is hopeless with babies and looks so uncomfortable holding her, i used to get really peaved about it with my first, but i figure it is kinda nice having them as babies all to myself, as it is now by ds is a daddies boy and when he is home he follows him everywhere - on the weekends i don't see my son as he is outside with hubby mucking around - dh admits he is no good with babies until they can basically walk and talk, oh well.
katanya - i hope you work out those allergy issues, i found out when my son was 8mths he was allergic to nuts, eggs, milk, dust, cat & dog hair, grass, and feathers - he now mainly gets bad hayfeaver - is drinks soy milk - yuck and has never had any nut product, i took him to an allergy specialist after my gp said he was suffering from asthma at 8mths - i was a bit sceptical about it as my mum is an asthmatic and it was not like her and after spending around $100 on asthma medication it did not make a difference so he was allergy tested from a specialist we changed him to soy and wow what a different boy.
kelly - i hope asha is just teething - again my ds got 4 teeth at 12wks do you believe it he had all his teeth by 18 mths and in the end they didn't really cause him to much grief.
i think lani is going through her 6wk growth spurt a week late - she had a terribly unsettled night the other night, i kept popping in the dummy and every 5mins she spat it out and was crying, it didn't dawn on me until the following morning she was probably hungry poor little thing - so yesterday i decided i will start expressing and will give her a rollover feed at 10pm to see if she will stop the 1.30 - 2am feed, well it took me around 30mins to express 30mls - i managed to get 60mls for the day, and i gave it to her last night and could not believe how well she took it, drank it all but still woke at 2am so i fed her, but she only fed for 5mins then went back till around 5.30am then in bed with us until i am ready to get up at 7am, i was a bit disappointed on the expressing and was thinking it may be time to start comping with formula, but i decided this morning to try expressing again and i got 100mls in 10mins =D> , so will give her this tonight and see what happens.
happy birthday for all those october mums who have recently had their birthdays - sorry a bit late there.
take care
michelle
lani michelle born 15/9/04
YAY mooshie on expressing!!! Gets easier as you go. I can do 240ml in 10-15 mins now depending on how full they are...usually around 3-4 am but I hardly ever breast feed anymore unless he needs a top up or am too lazy to get out of bed in the mornings and pop him on. He seems unsettled at the breast and will suck for and hour and scream when you take him away and its suck suck gulp too his not using me as a dummy. I am happy to express and feed him as it doesnt take long and the midwife told me to keep doing it if you feel comfortable. I guess because its still breast milk they dont care.
Felix gained 60 grams today!! I know it isn't much but apparently that is okay..so let hope that he has turned a corner and now will re gain the weight he hasn't put on!
I haven't eaten any dairy for 2 days but it has made no difference to his poos..we had 3 runny poos this morning! But at least he has gained weight..
I will try one more day and if no change I think I can rule it out?
Mooshie glad the expressing went better..have you tried doing it on the opposite breast while lani is attached, it works well for me? You know that they feed extra hard at growth spurt time to increase your milk supply? That is maybe why so little was coming out at first?
felix just woke up..didn't get that finished!
Wow you chickies can post!! Phew took me a while to catch up!!
Yay for Hudson rolling over! What a clever boy!
Poor Matilda with her cold and poor Christy too!
Good luck with trial and error Katanya!
I must admit I am sooooo lucky with my DH. He always does the 6 am feed every day! I pretty much said to him if he doesnt do it i will let him scream and does he want his son to be really upset. He said of course not so he has started doing it! He loves it now and i dont even have to wake him. Sometimes I wake up and there they are having a feed or playing.
Went to CHN yesterday. Ryley is 61cm long and 6.5 kgs. What a big boy! He slept from 8pm to 2 am last night and then 3 until 7 so I am doing well.
He held his head up when having tummy time for about 20 seconds and pushed himself almost a meter!!! he'll be crawling before i know it!~!
Hope everyone is well!
Hi girls,
I didn't get a notification to say anyone had replied in here, not sure why as I had visited in Nov, Oh well.
Congrats to Hudson, lookout Marcia the moving has just begun!
Poor Matilda and Christy, hope the colds don't last long.
I took a look Pee at Joshua and Jemmas books and they were close to Ryleys weight when they were 12 and 13 weeks, they started at 7lb8oz and 8lb4 1/2 oz's each. Ryley was a 9lber wasn't he. He has gained weight and grown so quickly, how old is he now?
Yeah Katanya on a weight gain, that's good, even a little is a gain so maybe that will help ease your mind.
I was going to take Jessica to HC this week but open day is Tues and it was Melb cup day, so it was closed, have to wait till next week.
I have to take Josh to try on school uniform for next yr tomorrow (sob, sob) My little boy is growing up too fast. But I know he is hanging for school, so it will be great for him. He is doing so well in swimming also, I am really proud of him.
I am able to hold Jessica off for feeds till 6am now, but I do have to reapply the dummy quite often, but that's ok, I still get more sleep.
See you all, sorry if I missed anyone
Cheers Michelle
Hehehe Pee!! Ryley is sounding more and more like Aidyn to me, I looked up his records and he was 6.6kg and 62cm at his 8 week check up... so close to Ryley!! How much did he weigh when he was born?
He must be very stong to be pushing himself across the floor already too!! :)
Katanya - Yippee for Felix's gain!! =D> 60grams is quite good isnt it? As not much time has passed since you last had him weighed?
Yay for Hudson rolling!!! and LOL Marcia, my DP is the same... doesn't hear a bloody thing and wonders why I am so cranky the next day - 'maybe because I was up 10 times during the night and got no help!', GRRRR!!!
Christy - I hope you and Matilda are feeling much better really soon :hugs:
(*runs back to 6-12months*)
Well it is offical ... I am only going to be working 2 1/2 days next year as well!!! I went to work today and filled out my variation forms. I don't have to work full time until 2006!!!! Asha will be heading to 20 months by then and will need her Mum just a little less.
Asha is definately teething. She was screaming tonight, just did not want to settle so I gave her a dose of panadol and put bonjela on her gum and about 2 minutes later she was asleep!!! The good news however is that she is back to loving her bottle!!! She has started to cry if she sees it before you give it to her so I know she is feeling better LOL. It is so funny she cries and I try to give it to her as quickly as possible and she stops as soon as it goes in.
BBT to post some more!
Cheers
Kelly: that is great news about Asha teething, I mean it is not great that she is in such pain..but it answers the questions about the being off her food! Hope those teeth come through soon..Felix has 2 teeth and now he is better again, he actually did pretty well I have only had to use bonjella not panadol yet!
Also fantastic news that you only have to return to 2 1/2 days work are you sharing a class with another teacher? My friend is and she does 3 day one week and 2 the next..it works really well but she saaid the marking can be almost the same amount of work!
Michelle: IKWYM about the notifications I think with the site moving around things get lost! My friend has a 5 year old and she is doing the same as you with Josh..she said it goes SO fast..I can believe it if the last 3 years with Felix are any indication!
Pee sounds like Riley is a big boy! and he is doing SO well with his tummy time, when Felix was his age he used to scream at tummy time, it was only about 4-5 months that he actually started enjoying it!
Now he will lay there for ages and play with toys and play his piano..it's very cute!
Yes Felix's weight gain was good, not GREAT but good for his age, he just has to catch up at little bit now. I just hope all is good by the time he is 6 mths as if not they will be doing more tests..he is still pooing heaps, but at the moment as long as he isn't dehydrated or not gaining and happy..I'm not going to worry! (until someone tells me to)
=D> yay for lani - went down last night after last b/feed at 8pm took until 9pm for her to settle dummy and patting - then i gave her the 100mls of breast milk from the bottle at 10.30pm and she slept until 6am not a peep and i slept on my tummy for the first time in months hip hip hooray i am a happy mummy today.
yes it does get easier expressing spiddles, i must admit i never perservered with the other two but this time it is ok especiallly since touch wood she is taking a rollover feed so well.
katanya - i actually expressed from the other breast this morning whilst feeding lani on the other side at 6am and i got the 100mls out really quick. it is really reassuring to know that yes i have got a lot of milk and supply is not running out, hopefully i will feed lani straight until she goes onto a cup and i won't need to buy formula but i will go with the flow.
and hooray for felix's weight gain.
pee - what a big boy riley is - watch out my ds started crawling at 5mths then it was fun fun fun lol.
michelle - ikwym about school uniforms - i just ordered jay's kinder uniforms and i was most emotional about it what will i be like when he goes to school.
whoops gotta go lani is awake and needs another feed not bad 10am after last feed at 6am.
take care
