Howdy girls,
I have updated my gallery with more pics, link in my siggie.
Tonight Isabell woke up suddenly crying, and i was unable to settle her no matter what. In the end after some panadol i sat her on my lap, and put my finger in her mouth and rubbed her gums. She stopped crying instantly and after a while even cheered up. Im guessing maybe she is teething and it may have upset her a bit tonight. I got her to sleep after a short play on her play mat.
Im feeling good about myself atm Im feeling happy (will be happier when Ben is home from work for the week) and im feeling confident about myself too. Next week im going clothes shopping, ready for summer, and i feel good about my body, i feel that my body is even ready for summer. Im lucky, im back to pre preg weight, i pretty much was about a week after birth. Im getting my hair done too, and i cant wait. All in all i feel wonderful!!!
Nettie Liam is a little spunk!! Love the hair!!!! Yay on the routine, i cant say I have a routine with Isabell set in concrete, but it seems to be the same every day. She is a good baby!!
fire i have the same problem - can't access the link. have tried twice .
dh is trying to get me to take the kids out so he can watch the grand final in peace - last thing i feel like, 3 hours alone with kids! at least it's a nice day.
too sleep-deprived to write personals, sorry... hope all you mums and kids are well. anyone have teeth yet?
Wow - this thread's even quieter than the other one!
Coo-ee - Janine? I'd love to check that page if you can figure out what I'm doing wrong
Here's my post from the other thread:
Hi everyone!
We've been MIA for a while cause things are busy at work and when I get home the computer's the last place I want to be! It's a shame this page is blocked by my work server...
Liam's starting to move around more now. Not crawling, but rolling & using his arms to change direction. Very cute! His favourite toy at the moment is the lounge. DH puts him up on his shoulder & he just runs his hands over the back of the lounge and 'talks'... he threw up in DH's hair yesterday
I've strained some rib muscles and am currently on 'light duties' with Liam. It hurts to pick him up from the floor and holding him in my arms is hard. So poor DH doesn't get a break at the moment I'm in a lot of pain and taking a lot of painkillers - which I usually don't like to do. Thank the Goddess for Advil!
We're heading to IKEA on Saturday to buy Liam's high chair. Then we'll be starting to spoon feed him (currently giving rice cereal very watered down in his bottle). Should be fun! I think he's SOO ready for proper solids. He keeps thrusting things in his mouth and actually chewing on them (including our fingers!) and is reacting to taste. He seems to be getting frustrated with a completely liquid diet so I think he'll settle down with some 'solid' food. Once he's got the hang of the spoon feeding, we'll try potato, then sweet potato, pumpkin, etc...
He isn't sleeping a lot in the day at the moment - DH is struggling to get him to nap more than 1/2 hour at a time. Sometimes only twice a day. He's still sleeping ok at night with only one waking (which DH does and I let him sleep an extra hour in the morning).
I really want to go & get him weighed & measured as it's been months since I've done that and I have absolutely no idea how heavy he is! But with me working full-time, it's hard to get time to go to the CYH office. DH might take him by himself or we'll go in my lunch hour... we'll see!
Anyway - must dash. Am about to copy this post in the other thread & then have my shower & off to bed. Probably need my next dose of painkillers by then too
Sorry for no personals - will try to get on over the weekend...
Hi girls! Been a heck of a long time since I checked in. I didn't realise how long untill I had to chase it through 6 thread renewals!!
Hope every one is well and so are bubs!
I really will try to be on here more regularly.

Hi, just a quickie... I didn't get the story, SG, which is worrying me, cos perhaps there is a problem with it. Is this the one you tried: inaperfectworld@ymail.com
If it is, I'll have to check out the problem.
BB took down my thread until it can be approved. I wrote to BB and a couple of admin but I haven't heard anything back. I even emailed Kelly. I hope it will be put back up soon, I don't know what's going on.
Well...my boyo is full of surprises...
After his HUGE sleeps yesterday (3 1/2 hours morning, 3 1/4 hours arvo), he was very subdued today, to the point DH and I thought he was unwell...
Fell asleep on me when I was out for lunch and everything.
I checked his mouth for swelling etc, and nothing (at 6:30pm after bath).
Then at 7pm I couldnt get him to put his dummy in, put a glob on bonjella on the sooth his gums (which I assumed must have been hurting since be refused the dummy), and ouchies, sharp...
In 30 minutes, his bottom right tooth had surfaced!!!
Owies BW! Poor fella. Although, I reckon I'd take a 'subdued' day over a 'screaming tanty' day if he was cutting a tooth!
Fire - Let us know when you hear about the thread. I'll be interested in reading it! If it doesn't get approved, let us know and I'll PM my Email addy to you
Lisa - welcome back! When you get a spare minute (huh!) give us an update!
Hi Fire and Nettie and Baby Wrangler!
Well, thanks for asking, Hunter is doing ok. He's abit behind you bubs, being a premmie. Doesn't roll yet, but loves to chew and smile and wiggle. We are having a rough trot with reflux and no longer sleeping through, but we get there. He gave me just long enough to get used to having a full nights sleep, then went back to 2-3 times a night.
No teeth yet, but his Paed said we might need to start solids soon.
How are your bubs going?
Well done on the teething! Hope bubs gives you plenty of peace and quiet, and doesn't grizzle too much. Lisa
We had a nightmare couple of MONTHS with teething. About four days ago his finally popped through the gum after an even more hellish couple of weeks. The second bottom one is about a day away if it follows the same pattern. His whole gumline is white and sore looking, I think he'll teethe in a big dose at once.
Still no word about the thread... he just woke, gotta run
The first one came through about two weeks ago and wasnt too bad.
Poor miss MJ has been sick with UTI though and it seems is allergic to penicillian.. she came up in ahuge rash with 4 does of the anti b and it has now gone since starting non penicillain Anti b
Sound like everone bubs are doing fab!!
I think Mj is a bit behind my other twos girls developement, as Annika was crawling at this age and well Mj still cant sit up unassisted and only rolls...prob my fault as i dont put her down on the floor very often as its seems quite dangerous for her with my other two terrors in her face all the time.
Hey
Sorry, its been a while since ive poped in, i cant say its coz isabells been keeping me on my feet either...
The only person teething in this house is me...one of my wisdom teeth are cutting thru, surprisingly it doesnt hurt, just sharp but with the way isabells been the past few days, i wouldnt be surprised if she cut a tooth...but then it could also be a million and one other things...
I got "THe Wonder Weeks" the other day, and it is so amazing to know about all the fussy periods, and why they happen.
Our bubs are looking to have a clingy fussy period soon...and can lats for 4 weeks!!! Im horrified, i keep thinking that this is what isabell is experiencing, but then i think its not...its all so confusing.
Any way its coz at this stage bubs are realising that mummy can distance themselves from them, and bubs being immobile they get clingy and upset, but they usually start being mobile after this fussy period...
Isabell is spinning herself around when on her tummy, and trying to get her legs under her to get in the crawling position. And on occasion has moved .5 of a metre by slightly commando crawling.
But apart from all that not much happening with us lol. Trying to sell our house, which is annoying coz we are getting nowhere...and i really wanna move, like NOW lol...
Going to visit IL's on wednesday, good 2-3 hour trip, so hoping isabell sleeping thru it.
Oh my gosh! Isabell is sitting on my lap and litereally exploding!! Her poor bum!! Nappy time i think!! Eugh!
Hello! I'm new to the forums, thanks to my mum finding it for me
Our DS was born April 9 (6 days over) at 7lb 4oz.
Talking about teeth, I'm still waiting for Michael's bottom 2 to come through, well, move up to the gum at least! The dribble has been soaking his clothes for a couple months now and still nothing at all. Maybe soon, hopefully. Butterfly_Princess, I know how you feel about your wisdom tooth, I had one come down the other day, was surprised it didn't hurt me either, just really sharp like you said.
DS is coming along well. He will sit there unassisted for however long he will before he'll whinge or topple himself over onto his belly. Still not getting up on all fours but he does turn around in circles and push off things (like walls) with his feet to move forward. He is more interesting in jumping this past week though since getting the activity table off DP's mum, so all he wants to do is sit in that all the time now. I think it may be because he can move about in it rather than being stuck on his belly. He'll learn one day! He has also started with 'dadad' & the occasional 'dad' in the past week! Oh its so cute! But the squealing is driving me nuts, lol.
Hi Kitty! I love the talking at this age. He seems so passionate about whatever the heck it is he is ravign about with all the "nadaddaad daaad dadadada manadad!!"
Beatrix, I have found oil of oregano a godsend for infections and colds etc. Rub onto the feet, or if you are brave put a drop into some food or milk - it is really spicy and kinda burns a little when taken orally, but not for long. It kills EVERYTHING. In studies it has out performed all the antibiotics such as penicillin by quite a stretch. Good for ear infections and even cleaning the air (put into oil burner for that). One drop diluted in a teaspoon or less of coconut or olive oil wiped under the nose helps sinus too, and helps clear their blocked up noses.
Make sure it is the true wild oregano, there are many fakes out there.
Oh its great, hehe, I can't get enough of it. I'm trying everyday just to hear 'dad', but no matter how many times I say it I either get a squeal or just 'dadadadad'.
I might keep that in mind about the oil of oregano, I hate antibiotics. DS has only been on them once so far & that was for staph. I just don't want him to have any more antibiotics because I did hear once too much antibiotics makes their immune system weak.
fire that teething sounds awful. bet you're dreading the arrival of the rest of them now! we don't have any teeth yet but there has been some ferocious chewing going on so who knows...
kitty your ds sounds like he's coming along well. i don't think many babies canget up on all fours properly at this age - dd is doing it but only for a few moments at a time. ds used to get up and rock back and forth not knowing what to do next - it was so cute!
beatrix hope mj's all better now.
hi butterfly princess have you finished cleaning up izabell's nappy yet? good luck with that long drive, i haven't tried one of those yet but have some longer trips coming up.
dd is rolling around nicely, exploring all corners of the loungeroom. her sleeping is still incredibly hopeless - i won't bother going into it but i'm telling myself she's just SO interested in the world she doesn't want to miss anything... either that or she was sent to torture me. good thing she's so cute or she would have been returned to the hospital long ago!
on that note must go and begin the long process of attempting to get her to bed.
hi also to lisylee and nettie and anyone else i've missed.
Im feeling happy (will be happier when Ben is home from work for the week) and im feeling confident about myself too. Next week im going clothes shopping, ready for summer, and i feel good about my body, i feel that my body is even ready for summer. Im lucky, im back to pre preg weight, i pretty much was about a week after birth. Im getting my hair done too, and i cant wait. All in all i feel wonderful!!!
