[New Dawn]

Now this feels more like home, hello girls... Tegam here are my details for frount page...

EDD 4 jan , born 18th dec,@ 6.30 am, Boy, Parker Robert, 3480gms 51 cm...

well I am busy tring to find a new and cheaper house to rent ATM God I am so over moving, but I guess now that I am on my own this should be it... scary having to everything on my own now but I will find some way to cope, I have been very blessed as Parker is a very well behaved baby, even if he does poop all the time lol never had such a poop machine before... but been breast its not so bad, I quite like the smell, weird I know, but it smells like new baby...

must go have 4 houses to fight though today will let you know how I go when I get back tonight....

[DisGirl]

Yay GTF, it's GREAT to see you on BB again

Good luck with the house hunting. Sounds like your Parker is a super good baby.

BTW, I don't find breastfed baby poos to be unpleasant smelling either.

[loulou75]

Tegam : I did post this on our other page but with all the excitment with Anises baby being born i guess it was missed, so Ive just copied it here for you to read, its just a quick turn of the events.

(Hello ladies we got home today (sun) we stayed a little longer then expected due to there being meconium in the fluid when miss nellie was born, it all happened pretty quickly I went from not being in much pain at 10pm, but by 10.30 I realised it was time to go we were in birth suit by 11.10, I was 10cm on arrival went to the loo gave a push waters broke and she was born at 11.39pm, (21mins off her offical due date!) while i was standing next to the bed lucky the MW is such a good catch or she would have ended up on the floor!!! the girls just love her to bits they just want to kiss and cuddle her all the time, killing her with kindness Its nice to be home, cant wait to sleep in my own bed. She is the biggest of my girls so far.)

So we had our first night home last night and it wasnt to bad Nellie woke about every 2 hr for a feed but I coped ok, shes just so wonderful I just love her to bits cant stop looking at her DH is pretty smitten with her as well. The girls have been so good especially DD1 shes such a great help DD2 is doing well with her too.

GTF good to see you back on BB good luck with the house hunting

OH YAY!! great to see u back hun!!!


well like Glenny and Jen im going to pretend Summah was born in Jan, the december chicks are lovely but my heart belongs with u lovelies lassies!!!!


im still stunned we all have nearly had our babies!!! i remember when we all first met.... back in the day!!

so i had a bit of a deliema this morning...
needed to do the groceries, yep thats the easy bit. i suddenly realised that A) i cant push a pram and a trolley at once and B) i havnt worked out the baby bjorn yet...
so how the hell was i going to do the shopping?!?!!?

quick phone call with mum and she came with me with my 2 brothers to help me out!
so i had mum carrying Summah, my brother pushing the trolley and my other brother wandering along, and then he took Summah so mum could grab the stuff she needed.

kinda felt like royalty with all hands on deck helping! my brother even unpacked the trolley into the car and then unpacked the car when we got home!! AWSOME!!!

we have moved Summah up from the newborn teats to the next one and she is tollerating it well, feeding a lot better, and getting her wind up a lot better as well, and her amounts have gone up, not sure if thats coz she is less tired from sucking less or if its just that growth time.

we see her paed for her review on saturday so that will be good!

[Jen10]

crumpet - I've figured out all my shopping strategies - Coles online for a big fortnightly shop, the bottom of the pram is great for local fruit & veg shopping, and all the little running around jobs (e.g. curtain hooks, banking, etc etc) I'm just going to drop David off at mum's for a couple of hours this Wed so I don't have to keep getting him in and out of the car All sorted!

Curtain-making is going well - need some more hooks, but apart from that I only have one more set to go! Woohoo! (And then I need to hem them once we hang them up and see how long I want them, but that's a quick job and won't be until after we move in) We're getting blinds in all the kids bedrooms at our new house, but I still will make some curtains for David's room just for decoration - going to look for some animal fabric, hopefully a jungle-type theme.

David was so cranky all morning - only slept for 30mins max at a time and kept waking up with wind pain - I've started following the dose directions on the colic stuff more closely - after googling, apparently it has a cumulative effect so it might not work well if I just give it to him every now and then. Have also bought some Infant's Friend - will try that if I get no improvement in a few days. Mind you, since starting the doses again, he's slept for nearly 2 hours this afternoon - he hasn't fed for 3 hours now, but there is no way I'm waking him up yet after the morning we had!!

Hope everyone's doing well Thanks for all the updates!

ALL this kids?????

[MrsBexie]

I'm here too! I'm not going to joining any rubbish Dec group after spending 9 months with you lot!!!

So- what's going on with Anise???????

Ok, fair enough you spent 9 months with these guys but no need to be rude about it...
I am meant to be in this group but I might stay with my rubbish dec group...

[glenny_c]

Yay DISGIRL!!!!!!

text arrived last night:

[glenny_c]

Mrs Bexie- I tried to send you a personal message as well but your inbox is full. so sorry, I really didn't mean any offence. Gosh- it's so hard to show sarcasm etc when you're typing. You Dec girls are awesome, I didn't mean to infer that you are rubbish at all!! I guess I was trying to be funny and in my sleep deprived haze missed the boat completely!! I feel really bad now, I need to read over things I type before I post them to see how they sound.

Sorry, sorry, sorry- and sorry to all the other Dec girls as well.
