Babies Born August 16th ~ 31st 2008 #2

Niamh Not sure what the crying could be about sorry. Maybe a growth spurt since its just happened all of a sudden? Otherwise as Lea said, it may be teething, she may be waking through the night from pain? Maybe try that gel Lea suggested, or panadol. We sometimes use panadol at night time when Tobias wont stop crying at bedtime, must be from his teething & the panadol helps him off to sleep & he doesnt wake again til morning so it must really help with the pain??
I hope you sort it out soon, you must be so tired & fustrated :hug:

Lea Good luck today hun, I really hope you get some answers :hug: xxx

Milly Well done Thomas!!!!! Woweeee!

AFM Still no teeth here, Tobias is dribbling & chewing like crazy on everything so he's def teething, they're just taking their sweet time like Briannas did, she got het first teeth at 10 or 11 months!!!
I had Tobias imunised yesterday (a little late LOL) & weighed etc. He went well with the needles, only let out a wimper after the second one. He now weighs 8.7kg, cant remember his length right now but he was just over 50th percentile for weight & length & his head circ was just under 50th percentile so I'm pretty happy with that.
He's sitting really well now, not a prob with tumbling over. Only 3 days ago he'd still topple over after a while but now he's up straight & confident. He crawls around then stops & sits up LOL So clever how they all of a sudden learn these new things!
He does "high 5's" now too which is soooo cute hehe (I taught him & yes I will be taking credit for it, I'm sick of other people trying things & when they see he does it back they call out to everyone to watch as if they just taught him grrrrrr.. sorry, mini vent over)

Don't know if everyone knows whats going on with DH & I but things have gone from bad to worse & we dont have a future together anymore, its a matter of time now until I leave with the kids. He doesn't know it's going to happen so soon but we both have agreed we dont know how much longer we'll be together.... Dont be sad for me, I'll just be happy when its all over with now.

I hope everyone is well. I have to get ready for swimming lessons & try to tidy up a bit as I have a BB friend coming over this afternoon :)

Niamh: Darling things sound hard at you house. I am a bit of a tree hugger so my advice does not always sit well with others....but here goes..... THE starting of solids is only a guide, some love it some dont. I didnt even start with Grace til she was 9months and eVE about the same. Still on their 1st birthdays they were eating maybe one meal and some finger food..... They are both the best eaters now! And hay is rocking the baby gets her to sleep then that is what you might have to do for awhile. She maybe waking for a million of reasons, just relax, the more you freakout and worry about it the more it will become an issue. I promise, this too shall pass!

Lea: hope all goes well with the pead today. I dont think he needs to see her vomit to believe you, im guessing he is not new to the job and has seen a million babies that behave for him and not their mother. Another tree hugger advice.....what did they do before scales! 200gms is great for a breastfeed baby...they cant possibly put on 1kg every month! she'll little, well you are too my darling :) she is crawling on time and she is happy inbetween vomits! sounds perfect to me.....

Danielle: i can feel sorry for you babe! you are going to have a hard road ahead of you even if it is for the better. Just moving with two kids is not going to be nice. I wish you all the luck and remember we are all here for you whenever you need!

US: DH and i are off to the movies.....i am leaving Eve and Thomas with a friend...i hate leaving them but it will be so nice to go out, its been 3 years since i last went to the movies! its the 10.40am showing so the kids should be fine...i hope :doh:

Hope the weather is better for you all than it is up here for Lea and I!

Im back !!
the visit went well .. Gabriella is on a different dose of Losec and is going in for a Raast test or something a rather .

Still minimal gain but PEAD said it was OK for Here ... its just her curve ... he did say " on the small side" a bit to me , but for me not to worry at all :)

phew ..

not really doin the solids here either .. finger food (not every day ) and thats it ... its too messy and for us its difficult to get the spoon in her mouth .. so whatever . stick her on the boob ..no mess (until she vompits :rolleyes: )

pmsl milly , luckily or rather unluckily she did vompit in front of him .... :redface:

enjoy your movie .. what did you see ?? I could never leave Gabs with anyone .. they usually ring me half way through and say " umm how do i get her to stop crying ?"

I remember not long back when we were in sydney , having a romantic dinner , my mum rings up and yellss " come home and take back your child " lol ..

its happened a few time actually lol !!

Hi all,
Wow, we all had a burst of energy all of a sudden....great to hear from everyone :)

Grrrrr, gotta go. Liam is awake........

HI Kel!!!!


Lea: pmsl x 300, last time i went to the movies, sold out (had dinner instead), 2nd last time....sold out (went home), 3rd time ago i watch "walk the Line" so what was that 3 years ago????

SOOOOOOOOOOO

today, dont even know what we are going to watch just had some mates ring and ask us to come and they are having a baby in 1 week so sort of a last chance thing....


SOOOOOOOOOOOO

ready...

We get in, sit down, start chatting.........trailers are showing......talking talking...... screen goes blank....i think not long now.......talking talking.........some rude jokes......

A MAN WALKS IN AND SAYS...there has been a blackout, session canceled!

*swear word swear word swear word*

Everyone is laughing at me as they say its my fault and wont invite me next time i can just babysit for them...

I MEAN really - im just not mean to watch a movie!

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

so we went for coffee and got the kids! Kids were good and Thomas slept the whole time so that was a good bit, but hay totally funny day tooo!


Hope you all had a good laugh, and what do we remember from this.....dont invite Milly to the movies, (unless you really just want to have dinner)!

hahahaha Milly... thats just plain wierd!!!!! (makes mental note... do not invite Milly to the movies....) xxx

Milly PML oh no what are the chances of that happening 3 times thast it now it wont happen again :lol: thanks for the advice by the way I havent been pushing the spoon feeds at all im glad now I was a bit worried about it but after what you were saying and I read some great information on here. Im feeling better about it Ill offer it and if she has a bit she has a bit Im happy with that. My little girl just wnats to take her time I think. MY DS2 was eating a pear and she went mad for it so I gave her a half to suck she liked that. I was up with her last night again she didnt cry that much well not for two hours solid she just kept waking up lots. I walked and rocked her the first time it was so funny, I was trying to lie down in the bed with her in my arms and not wake her. I was rocking my self side to side, LOL worked though. the second time I had to get up with her she fell back asleep as soon as i stood and rocked her so I put her in her pram and she slept for a while I dont know how long inbetween I should have watched the time. I think it might be wind I just have a feeling thats what it is and she stretches out and arches her back and kinda squeals. she now has a cold and sticky eyes so that aint helping.

*charmalea* thats great that it all went well, Im so glad her hip is ok :D good things come in small parcels, hope you feel alot better about it all now. you poor thing on the baby sitting in time hun I am too afraid to do it as Ild say ill get a phone call as . Im miles away from goal yet have 1 stone and 9 pounds to get to my first goal for the end of May then on to the next goal im taking it slowly.

Danielle_M Thanks I never thought of a growth spurt at all:) hope this time goes quickly for you and look onwards and upwards as they say.:) ooh and thats so cute with the high 5 :clap:

thanks girls for all the advice ((((HUGS))))

Dannielle - your a strong woman !! I do feel sorry for you , but if you dont feel sad , i wont either !! were here for you if you need a hand in any way ...

well Gabs has been up screaming since about 5:30 .. she had a feed and then the cat decided to climb the fly screen .. grrrrrrrrrr

I didnt want to put her back to sleep with another feed , as when the cat woke her , she spewed .. so in stead she just screamed !!!! so i got up with her and now she is happy palaying on the floor ..

could of saved my slef the hassle of trying to keep her quiet ...

Milly - I love this weather , i cant get enough of it .... except when i hang heaps of washing out on a sunny arvo then an hour later it rains then does so till the next morning ... i need a clothes horse i think ... but my laundry is soo tiny they would have to be around the house and with nixon in da house .. its not a good idea !!

eww gabs just commando crawled past me and dragged her self though her reflux ... lol ... mornings are full of reflux here !!!

swimming lessons today then a easter party at my playgroups church .. they put on a ripper xmas party so i cant wait , the kids will have a ball ( and so will mummy and daddy ;) )

have a good day !!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wrote a huge post the other day and bellybelly has eaten it.....I wondered if it had posted but bb went offline for me after I wrote it and I couldn't check.....Stupid, bloody,&%$#@*!@!!!!!!!
I'm not writing another one, that took me ages to do. Couldn't get onto bb all day yesterday. Anyone else having trouble? Not happy Jan!
Anyhow...I hate daylight savings switchover. Up at 5am today. 5.30 yesterday. I get little enough sleep as it is.....I'm so sick of this. Hmmmm, ok I think that's it, otherwise this will just be a big whinge fest, it's one of those days I think.
Hope everyone else feels better than me.

Hi Girls,
I have been luking around and catching up on whats been happening.
I won't go into personals now because i'll be here FOREVER! LOL I will come back later to do these though, Don't worry... i won't leave you all out LOL

So an update to where we are up to.
I can't believe Jorja is 7 months old.
Shes been in FDC since 5 months and Loving it, and hate to admit it, but i have enjoyed being back at work too! (this doesn't make me a bad mum does it, enjoying my time away from her while i'm at work... )
Shes got 3 nearly 4 teeth. The first two we had problems but nothing compared to the last 1 and this one coming through now. For a child who is always so placid, i've NEVER had her scream the house down like she is now!! Oh the joys LOL my poor bubba princess. :(

Shes been eating solids now since 4.5 - 5 months. Shes been loving it! We've got vegemite toast happening, vegies with meat, fruit etc.

Shes been crawling now for some time (probably for abou 6 weeks now) into EVERTTHING!! I need to go and get another safety gate for our bathroom. Everytime i turn around she doing something else she shouldn't be LOL. Shes now pulling herself up on furniture, so i'm guessing it's not going to be log before shes walking.

My gorgeous little bubba is growing up!!

Can't believe it's only 5 months now till i get married!!!! OMG I'm so excited and I can't wait!! I'e picked out my dress, HOT PINK! and the girls have thier dresses which are green. Booked the celebrant today so plans are well and truely on the way... SOOOO Excited!!!!

We are moving in house about 6 weeks. Had issues with the real estate here, but our next door neighbours are moving at the end of may so we are hoping we can just move next door, the house is nicer than ours and the same amount of rent...SO FINGERS CROSSED....

Umm.... can't think of much else.
Jorja has been having a foot fetish going on... she will find any pair of shoes, regardless of where they are and eat them. i even found her pulling shoes out of the nappy bag and eating them. And she plays with our feet if we are sitting on the lounge and shes on the floor, plays with our toes... got her starting young.... i can see i'll be spending lots of $$$ on shoes over the years LOL


We are hoping to start to TTC for number 2 at the end of the year, so a litle excited about that too!

Hope everyones Bubs are doing well and i'll be back later to write personal :)

PS i couldn't get on BB all day yesterday either!! Was having withdrawals!

Lots of hugs

Hi Guys,
Its Milly here
I decided to de identify myself as i have invited many friends to this forum and sometimes you just dont want to be known IYKWIM??

Hope everyone is well :)

(T)homas (E)ve (G)race (A)melia (M)att = Tegam :)

Wow, everyone is soooo quiet....where are you all??? HOW are you all?? I hope all is well with everyone....

Well, we just returned from 2wks away in Qld. Visited DH's family in Maryborough for a week, then down to Surfers Paradise for a week. It was good to be away together. It was good to catch up with DH's family too. We went to his brother's wedding. It was the first time in about 9yrs or so that they had all been together. And the first time we had met some of our nephews in person. And vice versa for them meeting our kids. They all fell in love with Lily. She is the only girl in a huge line of boys in their families ( DH is one of three boys, his dad is one of three boys and his two brothers both have three boys each too.) She charmed the pants off all of them!! But she is pretty damn cute!( No mummy bias there, I swear!) We then went down to Surfers Paradise for a week too and it was lovely. Beach or pool every day, no time constraints just us all together, bliss!
I'm DESPERATE for sleep. Even after a holiday....I feel so knackered for some reason. I just can't seem to catch up on sleep. I managed to get both kids asleep at the same time today and slept with them for 45mins. But now I'm ready for bed again! I am a bit sick, I think I might have a chest infection, but still...And the kids are still sleeping pretty badly. Liam is up for a feed 3-4hrly all night, and Lil is up usually twice a night. At the momnet we're awake at 5am. Did I mention I HATE daylight savings?? Same thing happened last year. Lily seems to have such a hard time changing her body clock back to the right time. So now we are up at 5am most mornings, if not it's 5.30am......definately not later than 6. I'm so not a morning person. Liam is ok and will sleep til 7am if I can stay in bed with him and snuggle if not he's up at 6-630am.

My house looks like a bomb has hit it....I have clothes everywhere too, they are all folded and in piles around the house from when we went away. I did the 6 loads of washing before we left to go away then left all of the clothes around the house once I had taken what I wanted. I though it would be ok since it was all clean and folded... Now I'm faced with the reality of having to sort it out into the right piles and pack it all away! I hate clothes washing! And as soon as we got home yesterday Lil and Liam went on a search and destroy mission to empty every single toy they could find onto the floor. I picked them all up last night but they are all out again today. I think they missed their toys!!
Well, Lily had her 2nd birthday a few weeks ago. We got to spend it with DH's family. We had a little party here with my family, I made some little flower and dragonfly cupcakes. Then for her actual birthday, I made a heart cake and some little cream filled butterfly cupcakes for the kids. She loved it. She has gotten so much soooo many toys and clothes!! My little flat is toooo small. We need a house just to fit in the otys! I dread Liams first birthday...where will I put his pressies????
Liam is just being absolutely gorgeous. He's very attached to me and I can feel his littel eye peircing into me whenever I'm in the room and not holding him. If I come too close to him, he tries to leap into my arms! He's such a happy little thing and is always smiling. He's cruising around furniture and stuff, though I'm not sure he'll be walking anytime soon. He's still a bit wobbly on his feet. That's fine with me....he gets around quickly enough now let alone when he starts walking!! He has 4 teeth and is working on his 5th and 6th! He's eating like a trojan, he loves his food and is a very capable eater. He will munch on anything and Lily is always ready to share her food with him. I'm always finding him with something in his mouth which I haven't fed him, LOL! He's still a booby monster too though, with the amount he eats (both food and booby) anyone would think he'd be a big rolly polly but he's only 8.5kg's. Though he is tall. so maybe he's stretching out, instead of getting rollier!!
Well thats about it for now. I hope everyone is well!

hey all !

like the namechange Tegam!!

well Gabriella is going OK .. sitll in the lower range of everytihng and her "graph" has started to plauteau (yes , i know not to follow graphs etc ..) but the CHN and the PEAD (i go private now, sooo much better than public when it comes to baby care!) are so helpful , but she only gets a few gms of weight on each visit ... shes not under wght or anything , shes just flat lining on it at the moment .. she is 7.5 kgs .. we have been told to give more claories in her diet , but shes not the biggest solids eater ... kinda like a sparrow ... but is on the boob alot , so at least shes getting nutrition ..

we got a refferal to ellen barron centre , i hope i get in soon , she feeds about 5-7 times a night and will not settle unless she gets fed .. if not she will secream and scream !!!

some one told me to read Tizzie Hall - I have heard nasty things about her book but cuirosity got the better of me and i borrowed it from the libary and OMGOSH its like boot camp just to get a baby to sleep .. her routine was :
BF@7
solids @8
sleep@9
BF @11
solids @12
sleep@1
BF @ 3
dinner @5.20
bed @ 7

sounds OK and normal ... and i gave it a go and stuck to the routine and Gabs fell asleep on her own and didnt cry bot times ... but i caved and my boobs were full and i gave her a BF .. and i thought FU tizzie ... im not a routine person :lol:

seeing as i knew night time would be hard and it says to let them "protest" for 18 mins before going into them !!! :o ... no way ... not my little baby ..

but she cat naps .. so KEL , my house is a bloody mess too !!!!!!!!

anyway .. she is properly crawling and can pull herself up to standing in her cot !!!

no teeth yet !!

Hi girls.

Still no teeth for Tobias LOL But he is cruising around the furniture quite well now & stands in his cot when he wakes up & calls out mumma til I come in hahaha. He's not saying anything else yet, I know I shouldn't compare & I'm really not but I remember Brianna was saying mumma at 6 months & dadda at 8 months hmmmmm I guess he'll really start talking more soon!
He's been having a bit of trouble getting off to sleep at night time lately & I've been rocking him... I remember it was around 8 months I did the same with DD & she went back into her routine after it passed... hoping the same for Tobias!!!
DH has been in bed for 2 weeks with a bad back. Ended up in hospital Monday last week & is now on tablet form norphine for the pain. I'm so worn out looking after him full time... I have to do everything for him & have no help with anything (not that he was much help anyway but just something as simple as leaving Tobias home while I run out to grab something at the shops etc, DH cant look after him so I have to take him everywhere) So I'm just a bit exhausted & a bit overwhelmed looking at all the housework I have to catch up on!!!

DD turned 4 yesterday... she's so cute!! But last night we ended up at the medical centre... she has an ear infection :( so now she's on anti biotics for that.

I think thats about all happening here. Good to catch up on what you're all doing :)

I hope everyones well xxx

We're going through a "wonder week" here. I'm' exhausted!

Jorja is crawling properly and pulling herself up to everything. She is trying hard to walk along the lounges but keeps falling down. Very cute to see her try though.

Got 4 teeth happening and maybe another 1 or 2.. not sure they seem to come through in twos.

Had my mum here all week which has been great especially since Jorja has been such a handful this week. And its been great having someone else to do my housework for me.

Wedding plans coming along, dress is ordered and i'm doing Tony Fergson to tyr and lose just a little bit of that extra weight. i have until my last dress fitting in august when any alterations need to be done.

I'm sooo excited.. i can't wait!!!

Hello everyone!

We are all well here, My DD turned 5 yesterday (just to one up you Danielle LOL)... Had a lovely time last weekend as DH was away yesterday. I guess we wont be able to do that for much longer but it worked for everyone to move it :)

Thomas has one tooth almost two, the bottom middle ones. He's been crawling for months and its been a month since he stood but its like "Ive done that, i dont need to do it again" So i think we are a while off cruzing LOL.

Danielle Thomas was getting hard to get off to sleep to at night and i started to pat him, and then realised he was just getting over tired (being the third child in bed routeen) so i have just started to put him to bed a lot earlier and that solved the hassles....just and idea.

Glad you got up to QLD Kel, beautiful weather up here still! Glad you got to show off the kids. HOW EXCITING Lilly is TWO, congratulatiosn bubba girl! Welcome the 2's :)

All the kids sound so cute! more personals later DS is away...

OH and good news DH has agreed to number FOUR (now just have to decide if im sure and when)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi girlies!

Where is everyone?? I hope you are all well.

Well we have all been sick here I have a tummy bug at the mo, soooo yuck! DH had it the other day, but only for the day, here I am 2 days later after having my head in the loo all day yesterday, I have been on it all day and still can't get off it! Luckily the kids haven't had that (knock on wood!!) but Lily has had a cold and snotty nose for aaagggeees! It just won't go away. Thankfully Liam hasn't had it and I'm hoping he doesn't get it!

Milly, yep, my beautiful girl is two. I can't believe it. I still feel like it was just yesterday that she was born! The time has flown sooo fast.
Yay, that your DH agreed to one more bub! You must be so excited! Though it would be a big decision!

Well, that's about it for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful mothers day and gets spoilt!

Just came in to wish you all a lovely Mothers Day for tomorrow!!!!
xoxo

Hey girls...
Heaps been happenign here.
Getting all wedding plans sorted... four months to go... SOOO excited!!!

Jorja has been a nightmare child this last week. (been in other threads...not sleeping screaming, not eating) who knows. i can see her two front teeth have cut through so maybe thats what its been. I was thinking also some seperation anxiety... she just screams if we're not in the room with her or if you walk out of the room but shes totally fine when we drop her at day care..hmmm
Shes not sleeping properly either (won't go into too much details - other threads), not eating etc... don't know. Last night I was so exhausted after 3 straight hours i gave her to DF and said "take her NOW. I don't want to look at her, talk to her, hear her or hold her" I was crying because i wasn't coping with it!!! I just wish she'd sleep for longer than 5 mins at a time... oh well.. the joys of parent hood.

So...we are up to 6 teeth now, walking along furniture, taking steps while pushing her trolly thing and saying "ma ma", "da da" and "bub bub bub""...all of which she chooses to do in the middle of the night while standing on the side of the cot... she doesn't always want you.. just talks and sings and carries on.. cute and funny... but OMG... go to sleep!!! LOL

Hope everyone is well and thier bubbas as well.
I really should check this more often.. i've missed soo much!

awww Jen, it can be a night mare sometimes hey .. :hug: to you .. i have to do that ... she be all up in my face and then suddenly i crack it and give her to DH .. untill i calm down .. by that time he has worked magic and got her to sleep !!

came home from sleep scholl on saturaday ... and now gabs is a different girl !! she sleeps from 7 - 5 am then has a feed then back down untill 7.30-8am ... i just her her wake then .. so i'll have to fetch her in a sec .. she is sooo much happier and she is BF less and eating more .. so instead of 10 feeds a day she is down to 4-5 and is actually easting solids !! its been great and she has put on weight finally and now looks like a 8mth old not a 6mth old !!!

the 1st night was hard to hear her cry , so i patted her to sleep .. after the 2 (!!!! yes 2 sleeps OMGosh) she got the hang of it and it took under 10mins every time to settle and go to sleep .. by the end of the week she was able to be put to bed and settle in less than 7 mins .. and now .. she knows .. i put her to bed and she'll find her spot and off she goes .. not a peep out of her ..

its wonderful .. i have my life back !!! yay .. but i do miss co sleeping .. but not the 6-8 nightly feeds .. the night before we went in she fed 10 (!!!...) times ... i counted ..

having all this sleep has changed her , i nave noticed her development has improved ... she now plays peek a boo .. and its sooooo cute !!!

havea great day ladiezzz

Thats so great to hear Lea!!!

Hope Everyone had a great mothers Day!

Lily and Liam are both really sick, they have bronchiolitis. Lily is just horrible. Poor little thing has no idea what she wants. She's just crying and whinging. Liam isn't as sick as her (yet) so isn't too bad. He is sick, just not as bad. Hopefull he stays ok. I'm thinking we are going to have a terrible night!

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, no sleep here....don't expect any tonight either. I'm sooo tired! Both Lil and Li have already woken up once each and they've only been in bed for an hour!

XX

Congrats Tasha!!

Milly I hope you had a beautiful birthday xoxo

sending heaps of sleeping vibes to everyone who needs it
xoxo

Thanks Ladies.... had a great bday. Got a new bike with trailer so can do school drop off and pick up with all three kids in the bike (will look like a freak but good exercise)

Also had my first session with a personal trainer! OMG my legs are jelly. We met down on the beach so nice view... have paid for 50 visits so better have nice bum at the end! have lost 11kgs and 43cms since xmas....hoping to do the same again in the next 10 weeks! ahhhh h the pain!

Heeeelllllooooooo, Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tegam, you bike thingy sounds great, it will be wonderful exercise!! Have you used it yet?
Yay @ going to the gym too. I wish I had time and could afford it. I used to love going when I had a membership. I just can't get the motivation to do anything at the moment. And we don't have the money to pay for anything at the mo...Ahhh, well, one day!!

Well, we are still struggling with sleep here. Kids still a bit unwell and now DH is sick too. Luckily enough it seems to have skipped me :) Thank goodness!! But I'm copping the sleepless nights cause DH is sick and needs to sleep. As I type he's asleep on the lounge with Lily.
Lily has started waking in the middle of the night screaming and wanting to get up. She just cries for no apparent reason and is driving me nuts. This results in Liam waking and wanting to feed. It takes like and hour or so to get everyone back to bed :( I'm so over it all, I jsut want my kids to 'get' sleeping....I so need more than 2 hrs sleep at a time. I've gotten used to living off 4hrs broken sleep.
Liam is starting to stand on his own, letting go of the furniture for a few seconds when he cruises around. He so cute!! He's starting to make hilarious faces and likes to make us laugh at him. He's saying dada, mumumum and bohbuh (booboo- means: booby, I want a feed!).
Well thats about it at my place. Sick kidlets, sick daddy, mummy very tired and over it all. I've had more day off work in the last two weeks than I've been there! Happens when you have kids I guess....
Well, I hope everyone is ok and doing well!!

Hello...

Just wanted to say hi!

Tom has just got his 3rd tooth and working on his 4th...going to look a real crack up as he had his middle bottom 2 and will have his 2 either side of the top middle (make sense). So he will look very funny. Just standing and a bit of cruzing. Thinking his about 9 or more kgs but still really long not fat IYKWIM??

hows everyone else?

Hi Girls!
Things going ok here. I'm suffering a bit at the moment with PND and Jorja not sleeping properly.
She just through her 7th tooth. She too is about the 9 kgs mark and really long not fat LOL

Shes going through this stage where she is screaming every hour during the night too.

I have someone here at the moment to do quotes for the floor coverings in our house, FINALLY the owner hats agreed to replace all floor coverings and is wanting to do this ASAP. YAY!!!!

Wedding plans are happening. just waiting now for people start RsVP'ing :) I wait for the honeymoon, looking forward to the break away for a few days.

Hope everyone is doing well. xxx

aww Jenn , i hope your doing OK .. there are times where i think i should be back on meds .. but then im too scared to admit it again so i just go on silently ... trying to keep one step ahead of it really ... :hug:

wowwee on all the teeth ... Gabriella is yet to pop any yet !
and she has just started to pull herself up on things .. not for verylong tho as her dodgy leg (that NOONE will look at) is a bit weaker than the other so she cant really hold her self up for too long .

she is still 7.4 kgs .. and i have all these size 0 clothes in winter things that i simply cant use , had to go buy winter clothes in 00 to fit her other wise all the 0 clothes are waaay too long and wide and slide right off her , its annoying as im thiniking she will have a massive groth spurt and all the 00 will go to waste ..

have a pead appt next week to "asses" her , prolly will be supplemented with something, as shes gone from 50th percentile to hovering above the 10th ... BUT if you see my FB pics of her , shes totally fine :) just had 400gm weight loss back in april and only a gain of 60 since .( all the weighins have been on the same scales so i know its not just differnt sclaes trying to tell me different things kwim)

shes eating 3 times (plus snacks ) and BF 4-6 times a day .. maybe she will grow to be slim and beautiful and make losts of money so she can set mummy and daddy up for retirement !!!!!

Hi girls

Jenni :hug: Sorry you're suffering atm, are you on meds? I hope Jorja sleeps through for you soon & gives you a well deserved rest.

Lea I saw the photos on FB, G is soooooo cute! & you're right, she doesn't look underweight at all, she looks lovely!

Milly Well done on Thomas cruising! So exciting!!!

Kellie I hope everyone is sleeping a bit more since your last post, I cant imagine how sleep deprived you are!! :hug: Well done for Liam standing alone.... wow!

AFM No teeth for Tobias yet, but thinking they cant be too far away now. Brianna was about 11 months when she got her first. Tobias is cruising heaps & when I take his hands he walks towards me (not alone). He's still not saying much, only mumma, golly & very rarely he says bubba. I cant remember if Brianna was a late talker, I do remember she was saying Mumma at 6 months & Dadda at 8 months. DH is patiently waiting to hear Dadda :lol:
I have been very busy here with alot happening in my personal life. I will be moving to the Gold Coast in the middle of this month.... without DH. I am looking forward to it but DH isn't taking it too well. Its a long story & I have another thread explaining everything (as best I can on a public forum) So I will probably be offline for a few weeks while I find a place & set up home.

I hope everyone is well & getting sleep where needed!
