sorry so long between posts but man where have the past weeks gone ... i think too much has happened to catch up on personals at the moment so I will do my best to catch up over the next few days .....
My aunt has been over for visiting from Dubbo whilst my parents are holidaying in Tassie so I have been spending time with her catching up and going out a bit and then the long weekend DH had a full 3 days off so we had some well needed family time and him home on a weekend and not working - YAY !!
Have also been working from home too so at the moment whenever I have free time and Ali is sleeping I need to work to get this event and AGM organised ... I have flights and accommodation and registration to organise for all our members and our staff so I will be busy me thinks !!!
Ali gets her injections tomorrow not looking forward to them at all and since my mum is away my aunt is going to come with me for moral support and then she will stay with us and have dinner esp until DH gets home from work ....
Ali got the milk pimples and in the heat they flare up even worse than normal .. they have started clearing on her cheeks but are now spreading to the back of her ears etc .. I took her to the dr about them as well and he said they are normal and it can last until she is 12 weeks old but not to do anything to them .... so we have left them and they are s l o w l y clearing up ....
I read somewhere today that chocolate can give babies wind and whenever I eat it I think it affects Ali so my days of enjoying some chocolate are well and truly over I think .... bummer .... but worth it for her to be wind free .... has anyone else know what triggers affect the wind in bubs?
I b/f Ali every feed except her night feed which DH has just given her now .. we normally feed her around 730 or 830 depending on schedule but she is going every 4 hours and has been doing 4am, 8am, 12 noon, 4pm, 8pm ... she sleeps from 930 to 730 generally but every 2nd night tends to wake up at 2am or 3am for a quick top up which is weird ?!?!? Why every second night I have no idea and the long weekend on Sat morning she woke at 5am and was ready for play time ... I ended up in the lounge room with her so DH could sleep peacefully and was playing with her at 5am ..
Will try and catch up on personals and I hope everyone is doing well ....
I wish I were bfing 100% Crappy BBS only 7 days until my appointment, bring on that milk!!!
Kel I used to have to wake Nakita up all the time feeding, would give her one side she would fall asleep and DH would then fly her around the house to wake her up for more...
Welcome back Mel
MM I am looking at the Fisher Price rainforest one, goes up to 9kg, think it will be a while before she hits that weight
Jsut a short one tonight, gotta make a cuppa and do some work.... hmmm already worked from 7:30-4, that should be enough!
We are 100% BFing... well its 100% BM anyway, we do EBM bottles every now and then when she's being an animal with my nipple OUCH! She sleeps about 7 hours at night give or take, and about 3 hours at a time during the day after being awake for 1 and 1/2 hours. ALTHOUGH... in the hot weather she has a whole lot more because she gets thirsty. The other day I gave her 10mL of water as it was 35 degrees and I'm sure she was literally sucking the life out of me. Thelongest she's ever slept... I think 8 hours. I've never gotten NEAR 10-12 hours over night... she wont go down until at least 8.30pm, and doesn't wake up any later than 5am if she hasn't woken during the night. I do feel for you Kel I hope she starts sleeping soon.
Melsta, I am usually up at 4am, give her a feed and then she wants to play. Shel has to wake at 5am, and usually comes out to us having Playhouse Disney on the TV singing along. LOL! I really enjoy it though, I've always been an early riser.
Squidipa, thats fantastic!!!! WOOHOO go Josh!!!!!!!
100% BF cant find my pump to express bottle feed tho.
Good luck in weigh in sasha just give me a few 100 grams plz weigh in this morning,
feeling like utter crap today
I am exhausted, tired and no patience josh has started with these big out bursts of screams and i am buggered he was restless last night. sorry being a bit rude again got to feed Josiah AGAIN!!!!! feel like at times doesn't it ever end.
Miss M didn't sleep through the night last night - But thats ok, I go to bed every night not expecting her to sleep through, so if she does - its a wonderful surprise for me!! LOL
Squidipa - that's great news honey about Josh's hearing!!!! Yayyy!!! Now when he is older and pretends NOT to hear you - you can say "I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME YOUNG MAN....." hehehehe..
Oh and I have a breast pump here that I'm not using if you want to borrow it? I won't need it till the next little one makes an appearance...
Melsta - good to see you again!!! You sound very busy with work and the baby!!!!
Leash - I wish we had foxtel (or whatever its called now) cos I'm getting darn sick of changing the DVD's for DS every two minutes cos he's changed his mind!!! LOL.. although - he is nearly fully trained in changing them over himself.. just got to get him to put them back in the cases properly - but he can get them out - put them in the DVD player the right way up and in properly and shuts the door.. LOL... so we're nearly there..
Vic - big hugs to you matey.... I'm sure you will get your milk up and flowing like a river soon enough!!!!
Kel - I think the Chiro is going well - she has to go again tomorrow because her neck was still out last night when we went. We knew we had to go cos she favoured one side to lie on - and that usually signifies a neck or back problem...better to get it fixed now cos it usually makes them much more settled babies...and she hasn't screamed as much during the day - plus sleeping longer at night - so I think its working. Sorry to hear that you are having BFing problems - its so difficult isn't it {hugs}
Kiwi - that is sooo cute that he is saying hello.... DS used to be like that too.. DD is pretty quiet (unless she's screaming) but she does coo a lot.... and she smiles a lot too - although her smiles make her look a little freaky.. LOL... definitely not a cute "awww" look she has got going on.
Hello to everyone else i missed!!!! You know I wuv ya
Well I've vacuumed the house this morning - which is more productive that what I usually get done. I think it helps when your newborn is in the swing, and the toddler is running around in front of you saying "again.. again" whenever you turn it off to go to another room.. pmsl.... he'll make me a good housewife yet..
Crappy BBS 
I hope she starts sleeping soon.
But thats ok, I go to bed every night not expecting her to sleep through, so if she does - its a wonderful surprise for me!! LOL
