Hi all,
We have been ok. Liam has been unsettled on and off. He got immunised a few days ago and He has two teeth through and the top ones are trying to push through too. He is crawling like a demon (no more of that commando stuff!! LOL!) and can sit up now pretty well too. He still falls sometimes but can sit for a about three mins or so before he tumbles over. And it's kind of a controlled tumble, he doesn't just flop over, lol! He is now 8kgs! He's just getting sooo big. Everyone assumes he's over 6 1/2mths, like he's 8mths or so!! NOOOO, my baby is getting too big too fast :(. As for sleeping well, we're awake 3 times a night on average. We co sleep so I just roll over and pop my boob in his mouth, and usually go back to sleep lol! But I think that's partly why he wakes so often, cause he can smell it and know I'll just give him booby for him to settle rather than settle him any other way. He loves his booby. He's having 2 solids meals a day and loves his food too!
Danielle, hows things? Thinking about you hun :hug:
Lea, gabbi sounds like shes doing really well!
Ok gotta go, liams calling....hope everyone is well :)
-
Hi All,
Wow Liam sounds just beautiful!
Danielle...how are things hun??
Lea: do you have a laptop yet??
Us.....I have no idea how much Toms weighs...i dont think he had put on that much put he is getting longer if thats possible LOL.... We are mostly decided now that we are not going to immunise him (i know everyone has their own opinions regarding this, not saying that we are not doing to spark any debate) its just what feels right for our little family at the moment.
Thomas is crawling well but still not great. So weird to leave him in one room and find him in another.
He loves his foot OMgoodness, i worry about over feeding him but he never vomits so i guess thats a good sign.... He sleeps through 5 out of 7 nights and normally only wakes causes of one of his sisters!!!!!!!!!!!
Grace has been unwell, i think its just cause she got so over tired starting school and all.
Evie is just my little evie,,,sooooooo two LOL
We are going away soon of a wedding and then getting Thomas baptised. Easier to do it down in NSW where no one has to travel but it means almost 2 weeks away..... I always freak out that the good routeen goes out the window but i guess we'll survive....
Hope everyone is well...
-
Milly, LOL@ Evie being sooo two!! So is Lily, well....soooo almost 2!! I can sympathise :)
-
argh i wrote a huge post and lost it !! grrr
i hear you all on the "being 2 "
nixon is FULL ON ... will fight sleep alllll day and then at night gets voilent and ultra tantrummy .. not fun at all .. he didnt go to bed untill 10pm last night and still hasnt slept , out of the corner of my eye i can see him throwing things at the cat , i asked him to stop or he has to got to time out to calm down ... and he told me "NO , naughty mummy"
ahh no , im not the one throwing things at the cat .. when hes like this i like to keep it boring , so hes not too over stimulated .. ..so its kinda boring here ..
my house is a mess and i cant be stuffed cleaning .. i get a nixon free day on thurs so i can start packing as we are moving on the 20 th !!!
we cant wait ... but i hate moving ... ugh all that packing and cleaning !
any way sounds like everybub is going great guns !!
Gabs needs too see a Pead , she is goign on the 3rd april and its a ridiculous price of $260 !!
took her to the nurse as when ever i eat too much dairy or she has youghurt , she will vomit and her poo will burn her butt, also wakes around midnight and cries till about 5am , on and off . i have to put her on the boob , if i try to selttle her she gets livid , so the minute shes asleep on the boob or i roll over she will wake up crying agin so the cycle contiues .. i have tried everything (well everything that i can think of at 2am) to get her to sleep , off the boob but nothing has worked she just cries ..
I have to start her on losec again to see if that changes anything . also has only put on 100 since 5 months , i usually take her to the nurse when i am bored , but i was close to tears the other moring desperate to find out why she cries ... at least its a gain , but apparently not enough
shes not taking well to soilds so im holiding back un till i see the pead ... oh and her leg is still a little shorter and bowed so they want to check on that too ..
oh the stress .. but she is smiley and happy and doing things on time , so i cant complain :)
anyway Gabs is almost crawling ... shes nearly there !! no teeth yet .. not even extra drool :lol:

Hi girls,
well, we have been super busy here. I have been working one whole day a week, as well as my normal hours every other day.
Liam and Lily are really good. Liam is crawling properly now. He has been for a while, been commando crawling for months now! He can crawl up my mums stairs in her loungeroom...only 2 but it wasn't until Lil was about 10 mths that she could do it!! He's sitting and saying bubba and mumma already too. He's got two teeth and the top ones are coming any day now too. He's growing waaaaayyyyy too fast for me, especially being my last bub :( Liam is going well. He's been a bit of a grumble butt the past week or so. I think it's his teeth, as well as just his age. He's having separation anxiety sometimes with me, especially when he's tired. He won't let me out of his sight sometimes. And follows me around like a little puppy. SO cute, but annoying sometimes too! He is very attached to me and with follow me with his eyes everywhere. When he's with DH and I talk to him, he kicks him legs and gets so excited and nearly jumps out of HD's arms to get to me, lol! And when I take him, I get big slooooopppy kisses. He's such a dribbly baby! Lily never was so I never used to use bibs much but with him, they're wet after about half an hour on!
Lily has started hurting Liam, kicking and hitting him at every opportunity, but then giving him big cuggles and kisseys too. She really is too cute at times, and soooo amazingly frustrating the next minute! Everything is 'MINE!" now too. No matter what it is, if she was sitting in the chair I just sat in, it's mine, if I am drinking the same thing she was (not her drink, just the same drink) it's mine, if Liam is playing with something that she was its mine....everything is hers!! She's also becoming a daddy's girl, often preferring him over me which is kinda nice sometimes cause she's now not whinging for me so much when I am feeding Liam or when I clean or do stuff around the place.
My big girl is nearly TWO!!! I can't believe it. Only one month til she's 2, OMG!!! We will be up in Qld for her bday this yr, so we get to celebrate it with DH family. These two years have truely flown. I was just thinking last night that I was probably jsut pregnant with Liam now (now that he's almost 7mths old) that's how old Lily was when I got pg again. Eeeek!! I can't imagine how I managed!
Sleeping....don't mention it and neither will I!! They are both having their days, though there was one glorious night where I got 6hrs sleep straight! It was heavenly! Then he only woke one other time, Lily woke once and DH got up for her anyway, oh I'd give my left foot for another night like that.......well not quite, but it would be lovely to have another good night's sleep.Since then they've been either tag-teaming or one of them has a horrific night. Last night Liam was awake 4 times I think, and Lily 2. Though for some reason I'm not feeling as tired as I thought I would.
Lily is coming up with new things every day and understands so much. She surprises me sometimes with what she understands. The other day she took my breaky plate to put into the sink (yep training her well!!) and it had my burnt crust still on it. I said to her 'Put the plate in the sink and the crusts into the bin' fully expecting to find soggy crusts in the sink later, but I wathced her and she went to the sink and took the crusts off the plate, dropped it into the sink and put the crusts into the bin!!! Oh I was soooo proud!!!! I can ask her to get me anything for Liam too, nappies, clothes (even specific items!) she's just getting so clever and big!
Ok enough of my rambling, I hope everyone is well and have a great weekend!

Hi everyone, sorry I have been so terrible at staying in touch lately!!!! We are now on 2 weeks holidays on the Gold Coast so it wont be a big post this time either, just a drop in & quick update :)
I cant believe Tobias is 7 months old today! It's just gone so quickly, I know he's going to be celebrating his 1st birthday in the blink of an eye :(
He's starting to get quite clever now. He's still not crawling "properly" but he's not far off it. He can also sit himself up now from when I put him down & he's crawling around, he leans back on his bottom, twisting his top half around, then uses his arm to sit up LOL It took me by surprise but I guess I better get used to it as he's growing up.....
Still no teeth!
We've been to Movie World with my twin sister & her family (she's also 3 months preggers) & we went to Sea World yesterday with PIL. I've started writing up an itinery so we dont run out of time to do everything we want to. DH is out on a fishing charter today with FIL.
Absolutely loving all the time I spend with my kids, not as much "house work" to do while on holidays so getting to do more with them & getting heaps of cuddles!
I hope everyone is well :)

hi all .. .i just moved house and the place is a mess and i only just got the net connected ...
well having a bit of trouble with Gabs ..
we now have a pead appt booked for next week , then a dietitcians appt , then a speech appt , then a physio appt ...
waaaahhh ... the stress of it all ...
basically i had a day stay at the local clinic , as gabs is not sleeping well between 12pm and 5am ... she will just cry ..
and her weight gain over the last 2.5 mths is only been about 400gm , she has "suspected" intolerance to wheat (rather than dairy wich we first thougt it was) , but the more she eats food , the less of a reatction she gets ...
i have started to give her finger foods (as she has trouble eating off a spoon , long tougne , its too big for her mouth lol ) and there has been much projectile vomiting inthe last 2 weeks ... its getting much better tyhought ....
and then her legs now have "clicky" hips ... i dont know why they are clicky now and now any other time ... but her leg is still shorter than the other and it "may" (scary nurse/doctor talk) need a cast ..
other than that .... she is on a top up of formula (which she is keeping down !! ) at night to help her sleep longer ( and its working)
and we are on a diet to find the reason for her reactions ..
BUT she is sitting and commando crawling , she is demanding and very chatty and even though she is teeny tiny (always gets mistaken for a 4mth old :lol:) she is happy !! i think shes just perfect and so does nixon ...
i often catch nix making gabs laugh and i just stop what im doing and listen to their giggles .. just music to my ears !!
have a good weekend xx
-
Good luck with everything Lea. I hope you get all the answers you're after for Gab
Well done on the sitting & commando crawling too :)
Hi Milly :)
-
My SON is STANDING!!!!!!!! Holy cow :)
Its INSANE...........his 7months...... Look out world LOL
-
Hi Lovely ladies :D
How are we all doing, Sorry I haven't been on in a while Ive been very busy don't have much time to myself catching up with every one still .
I have a few worries over my Little devil I mean angel LoL
How is every one finding weaning< Eireann is taking to it so slowly hates it actually I dont want to force it either, she is taking bananna for me, mixed purreed fruit in small amounts actually tiny amounts, I know Im going to sound like a complete idiot but should I have her on two spoon feeds now or is one ok and a taste of other food in that day what do you think.
I dont know whats happening with night time sleeping all of a sudden she is a nightmare to get to sleep and really cross in the evening crys till she goes to sleep and we have to rock her to sleep in her buggy. then she will wake up after being asleep for about 3 hours and scream all over again :( nothing I do helps her feeding burping rocking im so furstrated. she does have a cold at the minute so i know thats not helping. she wakes at around 4 anddoes the same thing screams her head off for an hour any advice
on a good note my diet is going great and my DH was shocked when I told him how much i wanted to lose 4 stone ! but he says when ever i reach my goal what ever it is he is going to take me on a holiday for a week :dance::dance: happy days :lol:
-
yay on the holiday !! are you close to your goal yet ??
Poor E , i dont know whats going on , sorry . But have you seen a MCHN about it ??
I went and had a day stay as G is crazy in the early hours too ..
and as for weaning .. well cant help you there , G isnt even on one spoon feed a day !! she can eat with her hands and is not interested in the spoon , she will have 2 or so tastes then lose interest and just want to play with the spoon ..
she cant really eat off a spoon , its almost like hard work for her .. she has issues with her tounge ..
But TODAY is the day !! At 10am , Gabriella and I are off to the PEAD ..
I am so nervous i want to vomit !!
i thought id walse in there and have him say " oh shes fine and walk out not having to worry about her again "
but in reality i know its not the case ... another 100 gm gain .. so in between 5-7 months .. its only been 200 gms ..
I honestly , thought it was 450 gms ... but how i got it so wrong ...
went to a GP FINALLY got my PAP , about 2.5 late .but she checked over G and said , " i dont know what your nurse is on about ... its not her HIP thats clikcy but her KNEE " WTF is up with that ...
i and so lost .. but am grateful about the PEADS appt today ...
wish me luck ....
I just wish the pead could see gabby vomit or "VOMPIT" as nixon says ..then i would nt feel like im making it up...
well , im really not making it up , but when you got a happy smiley baby on your lap its hard to prove they can power chuck and vompit 20 times a day kwim ???
OH Nimah - could it be teething ???? SM 33 is da bomb in our house ..
Pity G is nt teething though ... no drool ... nuffin .. so no teeth either .. .
and SUCCSESS or how ever you spell it ... G crawled properly for the 1st time the other day .. is not that good at it but can do it none the less .... still prefers commando crawilng !!
have a good day y'all ...

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,
