hi girls,
had my first day back at work today :( i was so sad leaving jorja in care...though she LVOED it!! No tears, happily played slept for 3 and a hlaf hours, i struggle to get an hour in the middle of the day!!! DF then picked her up and it took her ages to notice that he was there she was too bisy playing! LOL
Wk was ok.. the usual for a first day.
danielle, hope you u/s goes ok.
hope everyone else s good xx
Hi girls,
sorry I haven't been around much, I have been trying to prioritise things in my life! And my kidlets are right up there, so it means less BB time. Plus I'm starting work again in a few weeks so I am trying to get into some sort of routine to suit wher I start working.
I have been keeping up though!
Danielle, glad to hear the christening went well and that your memories will all be good :).
Sorry to hear you haven't been well. I hope the u/s gives you some answers.
That's gerat that you have some homegrown veggies to give Tobias. I haven't really tired Liam on solids yet. I give him sucks on my apples or pears(etc...) when I have them, but haven't purposefully made a meal for him yet. I had Lil on solids at this age, though she was pretty uninterested until she was about 7mths or so, so I just thought
wait, plus its so much more work than booby!
Yeah I think we deserve a holiday too, I can't wait! It will be our first as a family!
Jen, I'm starting back at work soon too, though only 3hrs a day. I'm actually looking forward to it. To getting out and seeing adults every day! Plus DD will go to day care once or twice a week and she will absolutely love it! She screamed the house down when we went in to sign her up for it and had to leave!
Niamh, I've lost a few kg's too and am trying to loose the baby weight and then some :) Congrats on your loss! They say it's better to lose weight slowly, the slower the better, the more likely you will keep it off.
Lea, Milly, and anyone I have lissed, HI! I hope all is weel for you all.
Hi All, Happy to hear everyone is well.
Kell: where are you going to be working?
Lea: Cant wait for the nappies, Thomas had to go out in a pink one today LOL and comments :)
Danielle: Love the baptism photos, looks like you had a great day.
Jen: Glad that your first day was ok! even better the jorja enjoyed her day.
US: thomas is 7.65kgs.... he is so tall, he actually looks a bit skinny! Rolling over both ways and generally dribbling on everything. Wont start solids yet as i just wait til they can eat whatever is on my plate. i have never mashed anything for my kids (far too much work) both girls were eating at 9months...
Gotta go as kids are NOT sleeping, naughty naughty :)
Forgot to say OMG Grace starts school in 8days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aww Go Grace .. bet she looks cute as in her uniform!!
Milly have sms's you about the naps ..
us ... went and saw a LC yesterday and praise heaven above , she help me ... for once someone listend to me ..
i do have Vasospasmam .. and she gave me a script for a drug and also a natural alternative !! i am keen to start on the nautral alternative and get rid of this pain !!!
in the Buff Gabbi is 6.83 kgs ..
the LC said she has followed the same weight curve since birth .. has stayed in the 50th percentile and not gone up or down .. she wasnt too impressed(not sure why but she said it was "unusual" go figure) , but she is happy and healthy as a button so i am happy with that ..
She even saw Gabbi feed and splutter and bite and helped he deal with that .. bet $45 i ever spent .. i got about $38 back on medicare so even better !!
and won $14 on lotto .. woot
she is still on 000's but yesterday mum and I were in myer ,and they have a sale on top of thier sale .. so everything the was reduced was a further 30% off ..
we went through and pick out a load of clothes for Gabbi .. i ended up spending $130 on her :o way more than i wanted but it was all size 00, 0, 1 &2s so she will grow in to them ..
when i got home i added up the total of the clothes when they were Full price and it came to $330 ... and when i clicked that i paid $130 .. i realised is saved $200 .. WOW i was stoked and made my purchase viable !!!
these are all high end posh stuff... one dress was $50 and i got it for about $16 ... my mum is keen to go to a different myer ... but i think she has loads of stuff ..
I am doing a stall for BBH at the markets on the 1st feb and DH is having a 2nd hand stall and all of G's 0000 & 000 will be getting sold .. she still fits them , but wont for much longer and im keen to get her in her new stuff :lol:
thats all for now .. have a great day !!
only a quick pop in my little boy is not well today.
hey a question Ive been noticing the last few days on and off i have been getting pains live ov pains or AF cramps plus lots of EWCM. anty one else getting it, just thought ild ask as im noticeing them now.
I was saying to Dh last night ! have we been careful as my boobs have been a bit sore as well :doh: but we have been nothing stands out in my head at all and he says not a chance as well. Eireann is our last baby but I wouldnt be disapointed if I was to get pregnant, just wont be making an effort to TTC :shhh: MY poor dh if he heard me say that he have a heat attack LOL
lilias yep delighted its something off what i have to lose, Ill keep at it and your right slower is better and no crash dieting it only comes back and then some doesnt it..
crap have to go Eireann is kicking up a fuss and I dont want her to wake Shane let him sleep this bug away
hay whats going on, why are so many people leaving BB? have i missed some nasty stuff? its all a bit emotional!
lea havent forgotten you, just need time to ring, have been painting all the kids rooms...yes im nuts!
Hello girlies!
Wow, time is sooo flying for me! I come in here thinking it's only bee a day or two since I posted and it's been aggges! Things have been busy here!
Milly, I'm an Early Childhood Teacher and I'll be working at a centre for 3-5 yo's. I'm really looking forward to going back, I have heard this centre is a really good one. It's only for 3hrs a day so it is great timing for me with the kids, it is Lily's nap time, and as for feeding Liam I most likely won't need to express cause he can feed just before I leave and again when I return. Plus he will be starting solids in a few weeks and he can have nis solids meal while I'm away too.
Lea, :clap: :D YAAAAAYYYYYYY, that you've found someone to help with your bfing!!!! That's such great news! I hope things are easy breezy for you and Gabriella now!
Wow, that she's still in 000! Liam is in 0 now! I have no idea what he weighs or how long he is, I haven't been back to the MCHN for months, I know naughty mummy! But I figure he's happy and content and pooing and weeing, so I don't worry!
Niamh, I have af back already, and have had for about 2 months I think, even though I'm fully bfing still! It is alot more painful too, and I feel ovulation like you. It's like I'm a teenager again! I haven't had period pains like these for years! My nipples get really sore too and it's like bfing for the first few weeks after having a baby again for a few days. Not pleasant! The things women go through, as if childbirth isn't enough!!!
I hope Shane is feeling better now, poor little man!
As for us, well, DH is on holidays now for 2 weeks (yay!) and I get to catch up on sleep! LOL.Liam and Lily has=ve been ok, though Lil's a bit stroppy some days which has got me thinking her ears are sore again (we have had trouble for a few months now). I will be taking her to the GP tomorrow, and we have another specialist appt in mid Feb. I'm thinking dairy will be off the menu for a while as taking her off dairy a few months ago cleared up the problem, and we put her back on it to make sure it was the reason. Which is ok for me, at least she won't have to have an operation for grommets.
We are going to Adelaide in a few days (so I won't be online much in the next week or so) and then I start work and uni again in Feb, so I will be busy busy busy!!! I only have one unit to do for uni, and I'm only working 3hrs a day, but it will be fun trying to keep up with everything! I'm thinking BB might be the thing that's going to have to suffer for it all! But I will still be around a bit (no I'm NOT leaving!!!).
Ok that's it for me, I hope everyone had a great long weekend!
Ok gotta go!
hi all , dunno why everyones leaving .. personal choice really ..
wow Kellie you sound soo busy .. i dont have that sort of energy lol .. but it would be nice to do some work once in a while .. Poor Lily on her ears it must be so frustrating ... nix gets reucrrent throat infections but i find AB's dont help so i dont take him to the docs we just hang out at home till hes better , its usally appears after a busy day or overtiredness , he gets run dowm pretty easily ..
Milly . i will PM you soon or text , not sure which one yet but i will talk to you soon , im going to be at markets this sunday, maybe we could meet there ??
Nimah, i get the same pains too , i think its ovulation .. i dont have AF back yet but that what my pains feel like !
have a good day , im off to the CHN to find out about Gabriellas leg and a eczema patch on her arm :( i have heard ezcema before there 1 usally means asthma before they are 2 .. sounds crazy .. but i thoughtid check with her ..
ETA - how much eye contact do your babes give you , Gab doesnt give much and its only for about 2 seconds .. shes normal every other way but a few ppl have picked up on it and consatnly remind me that shes doesnt give eye contact .. should i be worried??
hello I must of missed every one leaving bit is it because of fb may be,
Im not leaving and thats for sure, I love Belly Belly :D
I got Af this morning and im not impressed considering I thought I wouldnt get it till closer to a year like with Shane... so ive nothing and I feel crap think I have a cold....should have know with the pains and that i was having,
My brother has left for Perth this morning so im a bit sad going to miss him lots he was great to have around, no problems helping out around the house or with the kids.. he will be awy now for at least another 7 months.
*charmalea* could she by shy hun Im noticeing Eireann went a little shy around strangers last week.. does she cath your eye, do you find her looking at you and then when she does catch your eye does she smile. If your worried may be say it to the GP and see what he says. oh Adam had ezcema before he was one he did get asthma but when he started school and it was not very bad. he hasnt needed his inhalor in months so im hoping it doesnt come back when we go home.
lilias they arrived today boo hoo on a good note it will make it easier for me to lose weight if my hormones are getting back to normal.. hate them and im still BF as well.touch wood no pain yet!!! hope the pain goes away for you..
Eireann fits 000 and 00 depends on the clothes she is a pudding but i think short like me :lol:
hi girls,
I have been around and checking out whats been happening.. havent been well myself so have been keeping a low profile.
I'm with you guys, whats with everyone leaving BB??!?!?!?
Jorja is doing well. got her weight checked this morning as dr was concerned at last checkup. She weighs in at 7.25kg...damn..shes heavy when you hold her! LOL
We've started using MCN full time.. I LOVE IT!!! Wish someone had told me about them when I first fell pregnant.
I got AF christmas eve and have been bleeding ever since. :( and sooooo painful I can feel every bit and sooo much blood loss and i'm feeding pretty much FT.
The joys of being a woman. :) Dr given me something to try and stop bleeding.. otherwise I have to go in and have a curette cause it's so bad. I feel for all of you who have got AF now. xx
Work is going well and Jorja is loving daycare which is such a relief for me. i was so worried about it. I miss her like crazy but things have to be done.
Wedding plans are well on the way.. YAY!!! I have found a dress but the honeymoon is causing all kinds of problems because it's school holidays and EVERYWHERE we have choosen to go isbooked out!! Think we'll delay honeymoon for 2 wks until after school hols. then we can go where we really wanted to.
Lea - so glad that you found someone to help with BFing. YAY!!!
better go, I need to get some sleep.
Hope everyone is well.

hey lovely ladies ... i am back online and in BB ... well as long as you will all have me of course !! a long haitus i know but it was tough to keep up to date with everything with ali and all else so I was lurking just not posting for awhile ..
anyways i can manage things better now and have been meaning to sign up again for ages but of course time gets away ..
its going to take me ages to catch up so i will do my best as we go on ... but a quick update on us ..
Ali's reflux is settling down and we have good days and bad days. she is on losec every lunchtime but on 20th feb she comes off it completely for 2 weeks so not looking forward to that! The good thing is she is now on 2 solids a day so by the 20th she has to be on 3 which should reduce the symptoms and severity of reflux with no meds ... other than that she is going well and is sitting so I am proud of my baby girl - she is nearly 6 months and growing so quickly where does the time go !!!
Hope you are all going well and I will try to get updated and read as much as I can ...
xoxo
Mel
Mel Babe you are always welcome!
MY baby started school today OMGoodness! First full day Friday...so sad and cant wait at the same time....hoping Evie stops being so two when she is getting some more attention LOL
Gotta go :)
Aww thanks Milly !!!
Wow 1st day of school - did you shed a few tears hun ?! They grow up before your eyes hey!
Caught up with my mothers group this morning then spent the day at my mums in the cool, they are looking after Ali in a cpl of weekends time so getting her used to sleeping in their portacot !!
Hope you all have a good night
xo
no didnt cry Mel, but its her first full day friday so i might be a little sad then, its hard tho as they are so happy and grace is so ready for it all.......
i freaked out when you said that Ali is almost 6 months old! i cant believe its almost 6 months, they just grow up so quick after 6 months.... :(
hope Ali liked your mums port a cot! are they looking after her for fun or work?
hi ladies !!
Hey Melsta , wondering how you were .. well both my computers are stuffed and im at mums usuing hers .. soo outdated . but im not complianing .. I have lost heaps of business due to the ppl at the computer place ..
1st i spilled tea all over the laptop and put it in for repair/write off the PC guys said 3 days . that was 2.5 weeks ago . they flat out lied to DH's face saying they were waiting on the insurance . then yesterday DH caught them out, the guy hadnt even looked at my Laptop and just said " oh we'll just write it off .. is that what you want " grrrrrr im am soo peeved as mean while my desktop is FULL of viruses and trojans and spamware ... even though we have antivirus, it just wont let us on the net .. so i hope my inbox isnt spammed ..
im just really dirty about it all ... soo peeved
pmsl , nixon is playing with the cat and he is about to attack the hell outta him ... that'll teach him for annoying hobbit !!!
anyway glad Ali's reflux is getting better , i think you will be fine off the losec ...i am no good at giving meds to my kids , so gab never gets her losec .. but she has been OK .. not perfect but better than before .. gone from 20-30 vomits a day to hardly any .. i think she is geting bigger and she is getting better .. we'll see ..
her ezcema pains me ..but im not going to put anything on it but mineral powder .. its helped so much ..i have changed her washing detergent too ..
her and i will be seeing a nutritionist after we come back from sydney , so i cant feed her foods that dont stir up reflux and get the lowdown on low allergy foods ... she hard work this kid .. i could do anything to nixon and he'd not react . but gabbi is opposite .. so sensitve ... i have to be careful about soap ( her skin folds crack if the soap is drying) mossie bites look like sandfly bites .. one bite and it takes over a week to heal all pussy and red :(
i had a dream about AF coming back so it could be on its way .. its fact that if you dream of AF it will be coming on just around the corner .. its been true for me .. but we'll see this time ..
i cant believe the 6 mth mark is coming up .. not ready for that , i keep thinking Gab is only 3/4 months not 5 she is still so tiny and fitting in to her small clothes so both DH and i think she is still a baby :lol: Well when i say tiny i just mean petite . . you all probly got a picture of a 5mth looking like a NB lol ..
anyway .. thats all .. i hope every one has a good week end !!
Jenn .. MCN is awesome .. i have to rethink what i own as Gab , surprise surprise reacts to micro fleece .. and sadly is mostly AIO's that have it .. but luck BBH are unlined so i can use them no probs !!!
have a good DAY
ETA : nimah , how did E gain 2 days ?? your ticker is differnt to mine but they were born on the same day :think: !!
Milly - how did you go today with school? Hope the day went ok and I am sure Grace loved it all !!
Lea - my gosh so much happening but darn the whole computer thing ... what is it with repair ppl who can lie to your face about things and then just act like that ! The reflux is better and by the time she is off it she will be having more food than milk anyway so better for her. Glad Gab's has improved too. Did you find out anything more from your GP on the eye contact?
My AF came back 1 week after stopping bf and I have already had a perfect cycle which for me is a HUGE deal as it never happened before ... it was only 3 days over a perfect 28 day cycle ... so this gives me hope for bub #2 !!
Hope everyone has had a good week and looking forward to the weekend. Going to be yet another hot one here tomorrow and DH working so we will be indoors yet again !!
xo
hey Mel . i found her eye contact is fine , just my mum planting seeds of doubt in me .. but i was told she is bow legged a bit . one is worse than the other but her legs are the same it just looks like one is shorter beucause one leg it bowed more ..
lol i just repeated my self .. im soo tired .. i have been co sleeping and until now have be enjoying it , but for the last week she has been feeding about 6-7 times a night .. inc the several feed she has during the day i am wiped .. we have been thinking to put her in her room . but i dont know if that will fix the problem .
will ask in another thread !
off to vacum , nixon spilled sugar everywhere !
Hi Lea, I find that the co sleeping is something that comes and goes for different reasons. Do what feels right not what you think is right... Hope the feeding settles down and good about the eye contact. Its a game with all three of our children so far, they DO NOT give the person thats holding them eye contact....but everyone else thats around :) How did the markets go? I was looking forward to coming up but boy i had an insane and tiring day and only got home and settled a 1530.....dont ask LOL but luck i was able to duck home and feed Tom once in the day time..Why are you getting a new car?
Mel: Grace had the best day ever at school, so cute when we went to get her after her first full day we had to wake her, she was sound asleep in the middle of the floor and hadnt even woken with all the other kids running to their parents. She then took a while to wake up so we are all in the car heading home and Grace yells "take me back i want to stay at school!" LOL... She went off well again this morning and it was the first time i have had to do the get up and school thing on my own with the three kids.....
WHat else is happening girls.....
DId anyone else stay up to watch the tennis....i am so tired, thank goodness its all over i need some sleep, So glad that i can say that its due to the tennis and not the baby, he is such a good sleeper....Would still be nice if eve didnt wake 1-3times a night but she is getting so much better...one day :)
