Afternoon Ladies ...
Ok, I had all this stuff multi-quoted, and now I have to sort out/ remember WHY!!

Mind you my bbs would explode especially if it is in the next few days!!

Don't worry, Mine DO! He slept bl00dy 14 hours last night and wouldn't have woken up, I reckon, if I hadn't of woken him to feed him before piling the kids in the car!!

I hand expressed in the shower (didn't want all that milk literally going down the drain!) and managed 100mls into a bottle (would have been easier if I could find my pump, but I was sooooooo sore, i'm sure it would have hurt!)

That 100mls actually came in handy, cause he got hungry on the way home from shopping, so I gave 2.5yo the bottle to feed him in the car. Would you believe Veygas actaully drank it all in about 5mins??? With an orthodontic slow release teat!! Go figure! I guess he's got his fave sibling! I reckon they'll be great mates!

But the strange thing is he has only had 3 feeds today. The were all decent feeds, but still..... expressing tonight was down on the usual so I'm not sure what is going on! I'm sure Jett would have no hesitation in letting me know if he was still hungry so I am not going to hit the panic button just yet.

Oh and speaking of splodey poos... we got one today. All up his back, even soaked through the nappy (it was a Huggies too).

MT, Veygas has been down to about 4 or 5 feeds a day (and none during the night) but yeah, they let you know if they are hungry!! As for Huggies, I think there is some conspiracy - they purposely have decreased the quality of the nappies to make us buy more!!

I even upsized Veygas to the crawler ones and still sometimes get some "good" leaks LOL!

Mel what the hell happened on the July thread!

I was gonna ask the same thing!! (I occasionally lurk, but never felt really "right" about jumping in there!)

so does anyone know how we can get out of our lease early. Not HEAPS early, you know, just like beginning of December. Do you reckon they'd be ok?

I think under the circumstances, they'd HAVE to be OK with it! The last place we were in, the bathroom floor started to leak and was threatening to collapse, and this was about a month before our lease was up. The owners offered to put us up in a motel or something, but with 2 kids and 3 cats (at the time) and me still being at uni, it just wasn't feasible, so the real estate let us out of our lease.

Something to consider (I know it's a PITA) but would you consider (or could you) overlap 2 weeks rent in two places??

(oh shyte! DS2 just brought me a whole packet of wipes, minus the packet!)

WRT poo explosions - its so weird.... DS used to shiat up his back - DD is at the front - it MUST be a girl thing!!!!

Got the Austar guy coming around today (yayyy Leasha!!) so I've already changed for the day and brushed my hair (believe me, its a rare thing)

Funny you should say that Mel, as Veygas did a massive one this morning, and I really do think it's their balls that stop it from going all up their front!!!

And YAY!!!!!!!!! for Austar (I just hope we can still get it when we move!!)

so I ripped out my breast pads and put them under a cloth I had in her cot (as we rubbed some olive oil on her head to get rid of the drieness and), she went to sleep, soundly until DH stirred her at 7:30am!!!! OMG is this my solution? I will be putting todays in her cot after her last feed, not during the day and see how she goes - please cross your fingers for me!!!

Fingers are crossed Vic!! But what you said got me thinking ... I changed the sheets about a week ago, and that afternoon, Veygas chucked up (on clean sheets!) Naughty lazy mummy that I am, I just put a cloth over it to soak it up. The next day, I took the cloth away, but he has slept through the night EVERY NIGHT since then!! I wonder if it's the smell of the milk doing it????

We'll see when I change the sheets tomorrow!! LOL!!

Nup no birth certificate here for us either. I was going to ring them the other day as I was getting a bit worried that they hadnt received the form but got on the website instead and it said there was a delay in the issue of certificates up to 10 weeks

I put Veygas's birth certificate application in when he was 1 week old, and we finally got it about 2 or 3 weeks ago (maybe because we are considered regional NSW????) BUt yeah, they had no hesitations in taking the money from our credit card ASAP!!

I'm sure there was more I wanted to say, but this has taken so long now, I just forget!! LOL!! Hope you're all having a fabbo day!!

Ahhh MM.. yes... balls.. makes sense now.. pmsl..

And you know, you can just jump into the july thread - they are pretty friendly in there - some of them must of had their cranky pants on the other night thats all..

**mountain mummy** · October 17th, 2008, 02:38 PM

Ah Mel, It's understandable to be cranky, esp. with little bubs that won't sleep (or wake up lots) ... sleep deprivation can do terrible things to a person!

Speaking of which, mine is the OPPOSITE!!

Had to go pick up DD from preschool (V was asleep) so unwrapped him, got him out of bed, put him in the car seat, drove to preschool, got DD, drove home, got him out of the car seat, wrapped him back up and put him back to bed. Do you think he stirred once?? Oh there were a couple of grunts and stretches, half opened eye for a couple of seconds, but he is still asleep!

I'm considering cloth ... any suggestions on where to start?

I have no idea! LOL!
