yeah, still horrid sleeps - Jen finally gave him some panadol earlier as he'd been grumbly and very tired for over half an hour, just wouldn't go to sleep. 15mins after the panadol and it was lights out
She finally had to wake him as its swimming lessons today (on their way there now)
And definitely know about the sharpness - yowch
Hi lovelies...
Home sick with a cold today, kids are in daycare which is a God-send,coz I don't think I could handle them atm.
Nickers - hope Nixon is feeling better.
Been having icky sleeps here too, but I think Josiah's had what I've got, so that explains it. It's hard when you can't tell what's wrong with them, but they're constantly crying - you get so frustrated, and then when you finally realise - you feel so bad :(
Shell - glad the scan went well. Hope they can tell with more certainty for you next time.
I'm sorry, I can't remember everyone else's posts - my heads so foggy. Things are going ok here. Finally got into a morning routine with getting everyone out the door on time, and the kids seem to be adjusting ok. Been taking Janae to swimming lessons to have some time by ourselves, which she has been loving. It's a bit weird, coz the class is full of dads, but hey, when you're working full time you take all the time you can get!
Janae is loving kindy, we've got our first parent-teacher night tonight to go through the program for the year. Oh, and Josiah is standing on his own for longer stretches. He'll stand next to the couch and play with a toy with both hands without using the couch as support at all. The longest he's gone is about 30 seconds, then he realises what he's doing and grabs the couch again. It's very cute.
Hey, has anyone heard from Theresa - can't remember seeing any posts from her recently.
Hope everyone is having a great day, I'm going back to bed.
Bel
you're right bel - nothing from Theresa :o
And how cute with Josiah and his standing. Hope you feel better soon
update Bel... she has been posting on here today, just not in this thread. I think her cloth nappy business is taking a bit of her time
Hi all well I can't remember if I told you guys we went to the clinic last thursday declan was 10.25kg and 73cms
For those of you that bf and have now stopped do your bb's still produce milk because mine do it is a real pain in the bum because I can smell it! and it this heat it is not nice!
Get well soon Bel, sounds like u'll need all the strength u can get, having 2 kids running about shortly.
Mitch, the next scan is Tue 27Mar 4pm, 2 days after DH's b'day & wk b4 Holly's. If bub's position is right, should be able to confirm then.
Becky, yeah it took a few wks from memory, I eased off slowly.
Abs hope that tooth comes thru & stops givin Jordy grief.
How's Nixon Nickers?
Becky- yeah my bb's still had milk and actually its been about 6 weeks and although they dont leak there is still a bit in there!
Shell- Nixon has a viral/gastro bug. Took him to the docs this arvo when i had my BT. All he has had today has been a total of about 250ml milk and little bits of water here and there. I thought he was going ok today even though he didnt want food or much fluid he hadnt thrown up. But tonight he was getting upset and i said ok we'll get you to bed, i stood up with him and as i did he did a massive spew. poor boy must have hurt him because he was crying after it.
So i cleaned him (and me) up gave him some panadol and held his hand to sleep. Ive put spew rags down on the bed this time so if he vomits i can just replace it.
He did a few mustard like runny poos today also but hasnt had many wet nappy's because he just hasnt had or kept down the fluid.
Morning all.
Well i got charlie into daycare one day a week which is great coz i am working mondays and he goes in all day on mondays, was really hard to get him in as ther are only 2 daycare places in portland!
He got weighed and mesured.
Weight 11.9kg - he has put only 400grm on in 4 months - he was 11.5kg at 7 month check up
Height 81cm
anyway best go get ready for work - having a training day at my new job for a few hours
will do personals later
Jac
it has been about 10 weeks since I stopped feeding Declan and I still have milk!
Happy 10 months Charlie! Good news about the daycare Jac, and with the weight gain, it's only normal that it slows down, especially seeing he grew so fast to start with. Gosh, Janae's almost 4 and she's only 17kg!! But then, she's a skinny little thing.
Nickers, hope Nixon is feeling better today, poor little man.
Becky, yeah mine hung around for a few months, but after the first couple of weeks it wasn't enough to leak, only if I was silly enough to squeeze...hehe
Home sick again today, although I'm picking Janae up from kindy to spend some time with her. Now it's mainly my sinuses all clogged up, which is not as bad as a sore throat, but sounds terrible when you should be answering the phone - hence the day off.
Josiah has decided his standing is not for anyone else to see, if he catches us watching him, he'll hold on to something or sit down. When he doesn't know we're watching he'll stand on his own for ages! Cheeky monkey
Hope everyone is having a good day, I'm back to bed - Josiah decided he'd wake up at 1.30 for about an hour and a half...speak soon
Bel
ETA Glad to hear Theresa is about, was just thinking about her and the girls...
Morning all,
Bel, sorry to hear you're feeling unwell, though I hope you get to spend an enjoyable day with Janae despite the foggy head. How clever of J to be standing on his own!
Becky, wow I can't believe you're still producing milk. I am trying to wean C off his day feeds and only keep his morning and night feeds, but am not having much success. In fact since I've been trying to limit him, it seems he wants the bb more than ever!
shell, the 27th of March isn't too far away. I can't wait to hear if it's been confirmed that it's another pink bundle.
As for me, C had a weigh and measure at the MCHN yesterday, and is now 9.1kgs and 75cm long. My sister brought her DD in with me and Chiara, at 21 months, is only 11kgs! Jacci, your Charlie is heavier than her! Lol! She isn't skinny though, just very short (like her mum, my sis, who is 4ft and a bit)
C is now madly cruising furniture, trying to stand on his own (without much success) and getting into absolutely everything! Nothing is safe from him!
Jacci- i know ive said it b4 but cant beleive how Tall Charlie is! he must have leaned out a lot seings his length has grown a lot but not his weight.
Sushee- Nixon and charlie are the same length, Nixon was 9.9kg, i feel after a few days of being sick he may even drop a little weight. He was still not interested in solids thismorning, i will still offer them but if he doesnt feel well the last thing u want to do it eat. He did have his whole bottle thismorning so that was good. he did end up waking up a few times and just wanted cuddles. Anyway dh came home feeling off yesterday and about an hr after dinner started vomitting, so i ahve 2 sick boys at home today and trying to avoid all the germs!
Bel- i hope u feel better soon too.
becky- when u stopped feeding was it regular feeds then to nothing? because when i stopped for the previous 3-4weeks i had got down to only 1 feed a day. Now i am pg again though i guess the liquid will always stay in there, with Nixon i started leaking at about 20weeks pg.
Hi Abs. Shell, any,Kel, Mitch,Sooz,Theresa,Lisa,Shazz, Amanda and anyone else i ahve missed.
I gradually weened him so I thought it would all have gone but no!
he is really long! - but he is alot skinnier than he was. The health nurse said he is good now - not fat anymore - (thankgod he was a budda boy for a while!!!) one of my firends has a 15 month old and charlie is the same height as him and weighs the same - i go through close like there going out of fashion!!! I might have to sell some on ebay i think.
jacci let us know if you do esp if there is any pumpkin patch! speaking off which have u guys checked out there new range!?
yes Bec i received the catelogue a few days ago its nice isnt it!
mmm, might have to check that out becky, although I have to admit I haven't had to buy Josiah very many clothes at all - we get my baby brothers hand-me-downs which is very helpful to say the least. Although now they're moving 3 1/2 hours away, I may not get them so often.
Trying a new meal with Josiah tonight. It's just chicken mince, mashed pumpkin and grated zucchini in wonton wrappers & steamed - but he loves finger food, so I'll see how he goes. Janae had great fun making them, hopefully she'll eat them too - little fusspot.
Better go bring the washing in - I tell you, being home sick is no fun, but when you have to still do the housework - that sucks even more!
I will stick my hand up if anyone is going to sell girls clothes..... Alexa is still in 00 & some 000 !!!!!
I reckon you guys have so much better baby clothes than over here... all the really cool & cute stuff is so dear & otherwise the reealistic priced stuff is boring LOL...
Alexa has #6 tooth thru now & # 7 on the way....
Better go it is nearly 11.30!!!!!! WAYYYY past my bed time LOL
