Ok, I think we are back to normal...put it this way, BJ is being cheeky again, and he can squeal once more (goody for us!)...I'm guessing we are all good!!
On the other hand, DH got MAJORY crook last night....had been fine all day (but strangely had a nanna nap on the couch before tea), then when I got back from the 2am feed he warned me that he felt freezing (even though the electric blanket was on high), was shivvering, and felt queasy...well...15 minutes later it was very clear that the journey on the porcelain bus was gonna be a long one!
He woke this morning looking and feeling crap...hopefully I dont get it and more to the point, I hope Benjamin doesn't!
Damn...was gonna do personals, but will have to pop back and edit this post with them, Benjamin is having an "issue"
mum to Jack you may find the NUK dummies stay in better because of their shape. BabyWrangler Glad to hear that BJ is back to himself, you've gotta love that squeeling, especially when it's right next to your ear (no that hurts LOL)
DH booked tickets for Jordan and I to go and see Cirque Du Soleil's Dralion on October 12th, I am so excited, this will be the 4th Cirque I have seen, they are fantastic!
Also, Oliver is rolling from tummy to back, makes it kind of hard to get him to have tummy time the cheeky little bugger especially since he was starting to get used to it.
MOJ giving Jack farex from 7 weeks doesn't make you a bad mother at all. Sorry if I gave youi that impression. I was just curious as to why you had started him that early. My DS was the same as Jack - would only sleep on my chest - wish I had thought of using farex to thicken the milk in his tummy, instead I perservered with the chest sleeps and still have him wanting to sleep with Mummy at the age of 3. So from experience, I'd say that giving Jack farex makes you a smart mother , especially if it has made a difference.
BTW just noticed Jack and Greer share their birthday. BW Hopefully DH doesn't pass on his sickness to the two of you. I know how hard it is to look after a baby when you or they are sick and wouldn't wish it on anyone. Sharon I'm jealous that your DH has bought you Cirque tickets. It's my birthday on Friday so I'll be waiting to see if DH gets me anything or if it is like his birthday where I told him he was just getting something he had already bought for himself and just gave him a small present from DS. He gets to go to movies and concerts all the time, but would he think to look for something I might like, I doubt it.
alittlegrubi I DH puts some thought into your b'day present, hinting sometimes works a treat, although I also just come straight out and ask my DH for things like that, Jordan is being quite spoiled lately, him and DH are going to the monster truck show on the 6th Sept (not my thing) but he is so excited, he loves cars, trucks, bikes etc. The only thing i'm not too keen about with Cirque is that I have to drive into the city as it isn't very public transport friendly getting there, and I know I will stress and be extremely anxious the whole drive in, but once i'm there I will be fine.
Hi to everyone else, hope you are all well, and have well behaved babies and kiddies.
Not much happening for me today, washing day today and a bit I housework. Have a good one everybody.
Grubi, I hope your DH behaves himself and spoils you rotton. I have to admit, my DH is usually pretty good with pressies....this year (when BJ was 3 weeks old) I got a dvd player to go with the tv in Bj's room so that on those LONG nights when he doesn't settle (which Im actually still waiting for) I can occupy myself....I used it when BFing was taking an hour though...so over the course of 2 nights, I'd get a movie in!.
Sharon, We saw Drallion late last year...or maybe it was in April....yeah it was, my birthday (Ollie's b'day) it was fantastic...DH made a deal that whenever they come out here, we go see them.
BabyWrangler I think that Cirque is fantastic, my 1st cirque experience was nearly 7 ago while I was 8 months pregnant with Jordan, and have been to every one since then. DH knew how much I wanted to go and I would have been quite upset if I'd missed out. How cool that you and Ollie have the same birthday
It is quiet isn't it. We had a big day yesterday a 3rd birthday party in the morning, 45 min drive to my parents and then Pop and DS's birthdays there. DS wanted to go home at 3pm, fell aslepp in the car and slept for 3 hours.
Nappy rash hasn't got any better and covitol is on back order, we are supposed to do immunisations this afternoon. I better get moving as I have a long list of things to do today. Will try to make it back later.
Hi Alittlegrubi, no that's fine....just that emails don't have any expressions in them & sometimes it seems that some people on this site are just a little....i dunno not friendly at times. I'm sorry if it seems that i was rude also but appreciate the suggestions! How old is Greer??
Sharon- Happy B.day for Fri!!! Not too sure if i'll be on this site prior to then so best congratulate you now....It's my b.day on Thurs! Hope we both have a good one!
I am braving our first time at playgroup on Thurs so let's hope it goes well...we are new to the area & everyone seems to be a little 'clicky'...small town I guess just have to get out there & make ourselves known.
Take care everyone!
mum to Jack it's actually alittlegrubbi's b'day on Friday Hope you have a great day on Thursday JIC you don't get back on here before then. Good luck and playgroup, hope you make some nice friends, I know I did when I went with Jordan, one of them is now by BF and it's strange because the first time we both met each other we never thought in a million years we would become such close friends, I thought she looked like a rough B*%#h, and she thought I was a 'straighty 180"
Oliver has been off the Zantac for 5 days now and isn't showing any signs of the reflux coming back, so that it stays this good and hopefully he can go back on to regular formula soon, although I am tempted to try out this new formula that the chemist recommended, Novalac (or something like that) and their AR formula is apparently the same as normal formula and doesn't actually thicken until it's in the stomach which means that normal teats can be used instead of the ones with the + hole in them, I hate the way the Karicare goes thick and gluggy once it starts to cool down.
Grubi just a suggestion, have you tried Sudocrem? its avaiable everywhere and in all my years of child care, thats the one I recommend to everyone...its what I' use on BJ if his bottom is a little red, if I put that on, by the next change, its all better!
We had a child at child care who used to do poos that had no smell, so he could be in in for a good half hour or so, and they always burnt him...he could be red raw with little blood patches from is, and we'd put sudocrem on and by the next change all was good!
Might be worth a try.
MOJ Greer was born on April 19th 2008, same as Jack. DS turned 3 last week. I'm lucky that I don't have the same issues with Greer as I had with DS when he was a baby. She sleeps in her cot on her back and usually only wakes for food or pain. The latter usually being a huge fart and poo (sorry if that was TMI).
Most of us in this thread have gotten to know each other over the course of our pregnancies, so we are fairly friendly with each other and hopefully can be with those of you only joining us now. I do know what you mean though.
The past 15 minutes have been hell here - her screaming during nappy change him pooing his pants at the same time and breaking his toys, I'm battling to hold my composure and not yell at either of them. That is why this post has taken so long to write.
BW Sudocream was what I started with, but nope that didn't work, but maybe I didnt give it long enough and swapped too quickly. Might go back to it again as the zinc and castor oil, bi-carb soda, no nappy time or bactroban haven't worked.
Sharon can't say I remember Chrissy, but that it very sad to hear, I'd be a blubbering mess if that happended to me right now. to Chrissy and family.
alittlegrub I think Chrissy only came to our group closer to the end of the pregnancy, she had 6 children (think some of them where step children though) and pg with this bubs, don't think she posted very much though. There is no way I would be able to cope either if this happened to me, but we would have to as we would have our babies to look after, so I suppose you just have to keep going.

Thanks for the link Sharon, that is extremely saddening (sp). It makes you wish there was something you could do to help. I can't imagine having to tell my 3 year old Daddy isn't ever coming home again. Makes the tears well just thinking about it.
Sharon - yes, I was aware of Chrissy's tragedy but I didn't realise you knew her or I would've mentioned it sooner. Her DH died last week but apparently he was more susceptible to the infection because he'd undergone heart surgery last year...
Liam had his 4 month imms today and was a real trooper - cried during the injections, but by the time he was having the oral one, he had settled down and was smiling while we re-dressed him.
Just had our immunisation here too Nettie. They gave us the oral first then the jabs, screamed on the jabs, two sucks on the boobie and all was forgotten. She is sleeping now. Hoping there isn't too bad a reaction.
, especially if it has made a difference.
