Just subbing and forgot to mention in my last post. selling my bassinet for $150. Paid $220 only used for two weeks. Anyone know the best place to sell. Would love it out of here as it takes up so much room it is a fisher price lamb one that has light, vibe and music, sounds ect. Freaky sheep free. Ha.
Hi everyone
Iona oj is evil in this house too.
Welcome Amandah!
Tams glad k is liking the formula, good luck with the basinette. I sold ellas old cot and change table on eBay and got a good price for it. Just make the reserve a bit higher seen as its so new?
Sarah love the name how did the lactation cookies go for you? I'm thinking of doing some. I'm so paranoid my supply isn't enough for her she is 3 weeks tomorrow and weighs 3.85kgs thought she would have put on more weight.....doesn't help the chiro told me demand feeding was causing some of her tummy aches. Don't know if I believe her or not lol.
Thanks ladies. So happy about the smallest things theses days... : ) The formula is called SMA by the company Wyeth. The whey is what was causing all the gas with Kolton and he would wake up by his own farts every two minutes! This is more cassein dominant and still has whey but just a small percentage. It is funny but when I was comparing the other formulas, this one was cheap by $10 compared to the others but had more vitamins and minerals.. What the? Apparently it was the formula before S26 so it has been around forever..
Hey planning dh 40th birthday and starting to think about camping over at Moreton in July. Have not camped over there in years though.. Has anyone been camping there lately? Just wondering what the campsites are like?
ellasmummy, i think they worked prety good, have to make more tho, kids found my stash! i know i wasnt making enough, she was always hungry and her puke was watery when i burped her, its back to being milky now and she gets boobie drunk again instead of being asleep after a feed. ive also started leaking again, just a little and there not filling up like they did with the others but i know theres something there now, kwim?
as for demand feeding, id say they were full of it. but then im only going on my own kids, ive demand fed them, and havent heard of it causing anything befor.
ahh, ebay.. that reminds me, i have a bootload of crap to put on there!! trying to decide if i should sell my dream fridge or just leave it in the garage in hopes of having a kitchen big enough again...
Tams we camped there Xmas 09. We did the western side where it was calmer water n we had heaps of shade at our campsite n just a stroll down to the water
Thanks Iona! : ) Yes, Jak there is but I heard a few creepy stories and lots of people do not show up, when they say they will. I am not sure if I am comfortable with randoms coming to my house. Oh but I heard that baby markets are a fantastic way to get rid of the baby stuff and not sell it off for 20 cents each.. I almost would have a garage sale but everyone wanted everything for nothing... All my stuff I have to sell is either new or used barely... I don't know what to do.. I still have all the girl newborn stuff too.. I have had so many people offer to come over and sort through what they want but then I will be left with "what they do not want" I don't know at this point Ebay is looking good.
hope: you are doing such a great job but if you are stressing so much about getting the twins the EBM maybe its worth having that conversation with DH and just explain how hard it is for you to keep going and that it is stressing you out. I must admit I get stressed when I have one baby screaming at me that he's hungry and you have two at the same time!! Surely DH will have to realise that u need to do what u can to keep your sanity. Like you said at the end of the day you are the one at home with them by yourself doing the best you can. I think you are doing a tremendous job, everytime I think that you have twins I'm just blown away by how awesome you are taking care of two (cos I'm having a hard time taking care of just one)
jaki: good luck tonight!! hope W does some nice sleeping for you
LMP: good luck selling your stuff on ebay, I love buying things from ebay
amandah: welcome!
EM: I always feel like I never have enough milk but sure enough he never cries and cries that he is hungry. at 3 weeks chase was 3.3kg so 3.85kg isn't too bad I dont think though I guess it all depends how much weight she is putting on compared to her birth weight.
Sarah: Wooo for picking a name, I love the name!
And hello to everyone else DH is kicking me off the net to play his PS3. I wish i'd never let him buy call of duty, next time he asks the answer is frickin NO!!!
Took a while but got Chase into bed at 10.30pm, im expecting to wake up around 6.30am don't disappoint me child! DH finally decided to help out at around 9pm, held him for 30 mins to try and put him to bed and couldn't do it. Well duh dumbass you need to spend a little more time than 30mins a night to work out how he likes to go to sleep. gah, DH is really annoying me right now. i wish I could blame hormones but im just irritable....oh crap.......I'd forgotten all about AF coming back....what if she's on her way....OMG that would make so much sense....
the laptop power cable died the other day and just got a new one today, so subbing before I go to bed, will be back on tomorrow for persies... gosh I missed a lot of things, and missed getting on here for a chat
AGGHHHH centerlink/medicare form, stop confusing me and making me want to rip you up!!!!
seriously what is the point of half these useless questions??? there going to love me in medicare tommorow when there helping me fillout the ones that just arnt sinking in
that is all.
oh, kitty i hear you on the ps3... all i can here right now is the sound of a war battle, he better not stay up all night, im dumping the boys here in the morning
