Christmas for Greer was only about eating the paper as big brother opened everyone's presents and then asked if Santa could bring him some more - just so he could open them. She loves her FisherPrice Swing
We are still experiencing extreme broken sleep and I can tell that it is wind/bowel/stomach pains that are waking Greer. We are still having massive amounts of watery poohs (I've done 3 nappy changes in the last 30 minutes) and she really isnt interested in solids at all. I am also trying to wean her off the breast since Im having the happy pills, which is making life a little more difficult.
Kimmy I too am hoping this is all just teething, but we do have our bottom two already and the poohs weren't this bad with those two.
So I think Im going to have to go to the doctor with her, hate to do that as they usually just tell you to wait a week and it will pass itself.:doh:

yay finally we have some commando crawling a'happening in this house!!
Typically enough his favourite thing to crawl to (being the son of an IT consultant, is mummy's laptop and daddy's iphone!
We tested him with egg yolk today (he's had cake and things with no dramas), and he enjoyed it (and no reaction so far), we seperated the yolk, and heated it in the microwave (til it was warm but still totally runny), and dipped his toast "soldiers" into it...he loved sucking the egg off!
We took him out in his clam shell today too for a "dip", its meant to warm up here in the next few days so I thought we'd have a go when daddy was home so he wasn't upset that he missed the first "swim" when I take him out this week when its hot!
Thats all from us...4 poos today...I think tooth number 4 may be on its way! (in fact I know it is, but last week he pood lots and had a tooth the next day)...it feels close!
back soon!
-
Grubi - have you tried Brauer's stomach calm? It worked wonders on Liam. Most Chemists and Health Food Stores stock it.
Kimmy - hope things improve for you soon.
Can't stop - on a tight timeframe tonight. I go back to work tomorrow!

hi all
Just popping in to say g'day.
Life foe us has returned to normal.
DH is back at work now, so no more holiday time for him for a while.
Benjamin is commandoing all over the place now, but still reverts to rolling now and then.
Tooth number 3 is here and 4 and 5 are soooo close.
Though, in saying that, number 3 was sooo close for about a week and a half before it arrived, so I'm not holding my breath!
I hope everyone is doing well.
I wonder how Sarah's wedding plans are going.....
Bye for now!
-
hay everyone,
russell is doin really well happy healthy and mobile. rob and i have split p so a bit emotional but gettin through
hope you are all well
-
HI all,
hope you and bubs are all well, sleep is still a MAJOR issue our house,or lackof should i say. Coop just will not resettle a night, goes off to sleep no probs but when he wakes up no good, i have to go back to work in just over a week and am sooooo dreading it! bottom teeth are just about through am hoping when they cut he will get better at night. He is crawling like mad everywhere and walking around furniture still lots of stacks though!
Zennie, hope you are doing okay remember we are all here if you need to vent etc. am thinking of you hun xxx
Glad to read everyone else has been doing okay since my last post, how was going back to work Nettie... i am dreading January 27th (my first day back :( )
Talk again soon xxx
-
Zen - so sorry hun. Feel free to vent away in here... what else is this forum for but to support each other??
Kimmy - My return to work was fine - no problems. Of course I miss him all day, but am lucky enough to work close enough to home to come home for lunch. We didn't have any trauma or anything... It's just work :p
-
thanks girls - i am doing ok , we chose to split it wasnt one forcing the other. we had been arguing heaps and in my mind lost touch with each other. we had noo romace or communication left we were just parents. we both lost our induviduality and partnership. it was mostly him feeling soffocated cos everything now is a negotiation and he wasnt gettin everything like he used to.
me on the otherhand was craving his attention love and supported and was faced with him going i never get this i dont get that wawawawawawaw poore me. yet nothin i wanted to do was good enough. standard response - i dont feel likkke it but expected me to feel like spending time with his derro mates doing the smae **** they always did and i was and am bored of it. and if i didnt want to go the standard response was - well f u ii'm goin anyway.
but now he is learning how much we reallly mean to him now that he dont have access to us 24/7 and hopefully having some realisations about his mates through how unsupportive they are of rebuilding our relationship. that they just wanna hold him back at their level.
my observation has been that he feels like he has to pove that we dont control him and hes still one of them evenn though hes outgrown them he goes back to their level instead of them coming foward.
its oonly been a week and already you can see the cracks. i miss them - were these drunks what i really wanted from my life. were they worth tearing my family to pieces. maybe sometimes was better than no time, maybe i should've appreciated her and her efforts more instead of demanding more. maybe i should've had more time for her, given her some space instead of being all about what i wanted. KWIM..
and in all this i am sitting back caring for our son keeping my heart and my door open to him. being supportive like i always have and letting him realise that we are the best thing that ever happened to him and that his mates will never fill is heart the way we do. his mates can dig their own grave with their selfish nasty opinons. robbie loves me and his mates are showin their true colours to him and no matter what at the end of the day he will only respect them less

I've noticed that not many of us in here are platinum members.
BellyBelly have just done an announcement where they'll give someone membership when someone else renews theirs (or add on a year of membership if someone already has it). It's a Random Act of Kindness thing!
I will definitely be renewing my membership (due in March anyway) so I was wondering who here would like to be a member? I also figure that if all of us do this, all of us in our Baby Buddies group can reciprocate and we'll all get a bonus!
Like I said, I'd be renewing anyway so I just need to pick someone to give the bonus to. Please let me know if you're interested.
Liam's going great. He's learning to stand more and more on his own (look - no hands Mummy!) but no sign of walking yet.
Poor Dad is trying to get him to sleep at the moment and he's fighting because he's REALLY tired. Is everyone else's bubs down to 1 or 2 day naps now?
-
Hi Nettie
Good job on the standing thats great!!
Benjamin has only ever really had 2 sleeps a day but thats cause he goes to bed at 6pm!
Membershipwise, I would love to be a member, but I've never really been able to afford it...its one of those things I've held back on in order to not have to go back to work....we cut costs where we can otherwise I have to go back to work (and what can I say...I'm selfish and wanna stay with Benjamin!)
Zennie, I hope you're doing ok sweetie and that things work out in the end....DH and I have been on the rocks a little of late...we are attempting to work through it (he has a high stress job, and the stress comes home)
Hello to everyone else, I'd better run and pack the car, we are heading out for an Aussie day barbie....such an Aussie thing to do!!
Have a great day everyone!
-
just popping in to say hello, feel like I have lost touch with everyone completely, I will try and make more of an effort...
Not much to report from me, Oliver does 'doughnuts' on the floor while on his tummy and looks like he tries to get to sitting up from his tummy (gets down fine), will occaisionally pull himself up on furniture, and is getting more daring by the day. He only just got his 1st tooth 2 weeks ago and #2 followed a week and a half later.
have started WW online, I have gone back up to what I was pre-preg (plus some more) and I feel awful, DH took a pic of me the other day (side on) and I looked disgusting...
well hope to chat to you all again soon.
Oh, and Zennie, sorry to hear about your break up, hope he realises what he's missing out on soon...
-
Grrr... I just did a huge post and lost it all. Damn and blast!
Anyway - I'll try & re-do it (but it's never as good the second time around!)
I was thinking we could have another go and listing our bubs daily routines - that might help us reconnect and would be a good way of sharing info on our bubs.
Liam:
Up around 7.30 am (can be as early as 6.15 or as late as 9.30)
Often plays in his cot for around 10 minutes before calling out
Bottle
Play
Go for a walk (if the weather is ok)
Bottle
Naptime around 11 - 12 (sleeps anywhere from 40 mins to 3 hours - but usually around 1.5 hours)
Play
BottlePlay
Walk in early evening (if weather is ok and Mum & Dad aren't too buggered!)
Start routine around 7pm (bath or shower, bottle with music playing, sleep)
Usually in bed around 8 pm (but sometimes as late as 9pm)
The bits in blue are the bits that are done when I'm at work - unless it's the weekend.
Every now and then he'll get spoon fed, but as we add cereal to every bottle, he's getting the nutrients of solids but because of the cleft, can only have purees. They bore him so he's not always interested. If he does eat it - it's usually only 1/2 a small jar at a time.
Sharon - I too have just begun my weightloss journey. I need to lose 20+ kgs to get back to pre-pregnancy weight. Not happy with my body either. Feel so lethargic and my feet constantly ache. I used to have all this before I lost my weight pre-pregnancy so I KNOW it's weight related.
Please share your bubs routines - be really excited to read how we all differ!
BTW - Liam's taking little steps. He does it between things (like the lounge and the coffee table) and is very shaky. He confidently stands up on his own (without needing to hold on) and can lower himself back down purposefully without falling down (although he still does that most of the time!). I also watched him figure out which two stacking cups fit together tonight. He even tried to line up the lugs on the outside! Hope that's not OCD forming! :lol:
-
Heeeeeyyyyyy,
Sorry to crash but I just have a quickie - Noah has been eating yolk for about a month or so now....when can he move on to whole egg?????
xxxx

Hi all,
Sorry I have been MIA wedding plans are still going ahead. Which has just taken over everything. How have you all been? What about your moving babies? Have I missed out on any drama? A quick fillin would be great...
Anyway I thought this thread closed down as I don't get emails to tell me someone has posted a reply.
Anyway gee, how time has gone by... I haven't done the catch up read yet, will leave that to rainy day. So any babies walk yet? Wyatt is holding onto stuff and pushing it around, and then he'll just stand there and let go of stuff for a few seconds then drops to bum.
I got Wyatt's little wedding suit along with Landon and Alise outfits, they are all going to look so cute.
I did try and get Wyatt to take a bottle with forumla in it. HATED it and refused it. I am at a lost of what to do for wedding, and can't remember how long BM can keep in freezer...
Anyway he has turned into a little MONSTER. My perfect baby of walking once a night has gone and he is up 1-4 times a night for last 2-3 months. Am not sure if it is teeth, still nothing.
Anyway I better go, the monsters is eating/gumming my legs right now.
Will try and catch up later, but would love help with the brest milk issue...
Cheers
Sarah

HI all.
Juts popping in for a quick visit!
Vixstar, Benjamin has been having egg (yolk and white) for about 2 months now with no issues.
As for our routine we are as follows:
wake 6:30 talk in bed
up 7am, play til 7:15-7:30
Wake up daddy and play in the bed for a while
8:00am 1 1/2 weetbix with cows milk
8:15ish, downstairs to wave goodbye to daddy
9-9:30am bottle of cows milk (usually has about 100ml)
then sleep for an hour and a half to 2 hours.
When he wakes, (usually about 11:30) lunch (mashed veg..sometimes meat, but we are having an issue with lumps at the moment), toast, fruit or finger food of some kind after lunch
1:30-2:30 (depending how long he lasts) bottle (100-150ml)
Bed
3:30-4:30 awake and play
5pm fruit with yogurt or custard, sometimes finger food after
5:30 bath
6pm 100-150ml bottle, then bed.
He can talk for up to 2 hours before he falls asleep (usually only about 10 though!) then thats usually the last I hear from him til it all starts again!
Movement wise we are commando crawling like a pro, and gettin gup on his knees and rocking back and forth.

hay everyone
having a little trouble sleeping tonight
russell is doing really well - he is up and walkn on his own, mostly short distances as he grows confidence. we still only have 2 teeth so expectin the next 2 to be a real challenge 4 him.
rob and i seperated for 4 weeks - e told me it was over and he was done with me but not russell - so started to move on but still be a good mum and friend and then on valentines day he asked me to have him back. i am takin it one step at a time - still alot of things goingon. my parents have some money issues and we live in a house they brought 4 my brother and i and our best mates live in their oter property - hopin that things work out but if they forclose then it 3 families with basically nowheere to go. there isn't alot i can do short of win the lottery cos its like 1.8 mil that they owe on property ect .
Russell routine is a bit screwy he wasn't sleeping well there for a while but has sorted itself out now i hope
anyway better try to sleep or tomorrows is going to be painful.
