Babies Born August 1st - 15th 2008 #4

[thepixie]

Hey folks
Sounds hectic for you Vic, I don't know how you do it working already. Especially with the sleep deprivation Sending big sleepy vibes to Nakita.
Kel, big sleepy vibes to Seven too!
Mel, I'm rarely in photos because usually I don't like to relinquish the camera. But this is different, I want photos with my baby! sorry you have to go back to work... at least you know they appreciate you!
Squidipa the song that does it for me is Heartbeats by Jose Gonzales... it was on my birth mix and the first time I heard it I was in full on labour, and it just cut through everything, I remember turning to the Bear and saying "what's this? it's beautiful". Still get goosebumps every time I hear it.
Weighed Beth today - 6.29 kilos with her clothes on.... that reminds me I should fish them out of the dirty clothes basket and weigh them so I can subtract!
Well, pretty quiet today, going to Melbourne Cup lunch tomorrow with MG girls so that should be fun.
Have a great night all

Hi everyone,

Squidipa- Thats great Josh is putting on weight! The song that makes me cry is one that DF's brothers band wrote it was about DF having to leave in the army when Cadence was only 2 weeks old and the line thats gets me everytime is "she's only two weeks old today, she has her mothers eyes her daddies smile, she laughs he (DF) wispers his goodbyes and only she see's her daddy cry" i'm tearing up just thinking about it. that song just reminds me how hard it was to have him leave us for months at a time

Pixie- Hope you have a great day tomorrow and Beth's weight is fantastic!

Leash are you going to the holding hands morning tea?

Allegra had a shocker last night woke up and wanted to party several times but mean mummy said no.
we haven't been worrying a contraceptives except for the mini pill and BF but we haven't been up to anyhting lately so no need to worry oh and still no AF

I have been having phoneline troubles AGAIN thats why I haven't been on for a while they fixed it by running a new line in the gutter even after I told them I guarantee it will be pulled out by some Jack@ss
I have a new cheeky girl pic in my sig too

[squidipa]

kel84 i was getting worried about u so glad u posted love the pic. that song sounds GREAT. the bit that gets me in the song i said is this... actually i cant pic now re reading it i am all yeah so ill post it anyhow, its such a beautiful song.

here it is just skip it if your not interested.

A page is turned by the wind to a boy with curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten
But as history unfolds and the storybook is told
He finds salvation not at the hands of man

And the God of second chance
Picked him up and He let him dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, preparing him the one
To hold him up when he comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And now a man, here you stand
Your day has come

A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl
With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled
By the language in her soul, that's teaching her to grow
With a careful cover of love that will not fail

And the God of second chance
Picked her up and He let her dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, preparing her the one
To hold her up when she comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And grown up tall, here you are
Your day has come

Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by the hand
And warm beneath the ardor, she took his heart instead
And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand
Just for her hand

A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife
And there is no secret to the source of this much life
When the grace falls like rain is washing them again
Just a chance to somehow rise above this land

Where the God of second chance
Will pick them up and He'll let them dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, they're sharing with the one
That holds them up when they come undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And once again, here you stand
And once again, here you stand
Your day has come
END OF SONG.

Pixie ill have to check out your song too

Kel - just reading those couple of lines from that song teared me up!!

Squidipa - YAY for joshie's weigh gain

Pixie - woohoo for Beth's weight too! And gorgeous pics too! Hmmm Bear seems to have an intuition about things ....

Vic - OMG you certainly pack alot into your day! Hope your nipple is getting better too

Mel - doesn't it just get your goat when the "other half" gets the *****s with the kids after like 5 minutes! I'd hate to see them spend all day alone with the babies!! LOL!!

CM4E - hope Seven is behaving for you hun!

Sasha - yay for Kye's small weight gain!!

Well, we haven't exactly been careful either, which surprises me since DP is quite adamant about not wanting more kids, but he also knows how much I do want more ... I am also back to having alot of trouble sleeping, and it's not all Veygas's fault ... but I'm only getting about 4 - 5 hours sleep a night ...

I'm pretty sure there was more I wanted to say, but I got distracted LOL!

Oh yeah, songs that make you cry ... many years ago, I had a friend where we had a mutually suitable arrangement (if you get my drift ) but after a while, things went awry and I ended up writing a song about it - and it's that song that makes me cry! (I'm sure one day I'll find someone to actually put it on paper in proper notation for me LOL!)

Hope y'all have a good night!

Just a super quick note.....

So I had a feeling, and I had be very vigilant with Nakitas feeding over the weekend, watching and encouraging every suck!

+150grams in 3 days!!!!!!

We ended up seeing the CYHN at the same time, just wanted to see what she thought, also got her length done.

So she is:
4650grams on the 10th percentile (corrected age)
57cm on the 50th percentile (corrected age) think she might be a tall one!!

We still have the official weigh in on Friday and will wait and see what they say then, but hoping for a 2 week weigh in

Oh the highs and lows but supper happy mum today!!

Hi everyone.... quick one from me. It is kind of a long weekend here in Melbourne due to Melbourne Cup tomorrow. So hubby and I have had quite a bit on!

Feeling very deflated here, had a weigh in today for Jett's 3 months. We have a gain of the grand total of 60gms for the last 4 weeks.

Not sure what the reasoning is for this, especially considering I had an over supply in the beginning and the poor lad was over feeding. It could be because we were both sick for quite some time in there or perhaps my supply is just doing it's own thing. So I have to try and express after every feed now and top him up. I'm also going back to feeding both sides each feed. Aaaggghhhhhh! Why can't this BF be easy????? It just doesn't make sense!

I just feel upset that this could have all been going on for 4 weeks and poor Jett has been suffering. But he has been happy enough, and I did try feeding him both sides last week and he threw up the extra in semi-powerchuck style. So I wasn't to know......but I can't help feeling guilty.

Ok, I'm going to slink off to bed now I've had my whinge. Hopefully I will be cheery again next time I'm on.

Mwah!

Hi everyone,

YAY for all the gains! WOOOHOOO! I'll weigh Jazz today some time and see how big she's gotten!

Kel, yep I'm going to the morning tea... I kept meaning to let you know but then kept fprgetting Can't wait to see Colleen, and Ann - she was so great. Ann oraganised the chaplan (sp?) to come see me because of everything that had happened, I thought that was really thoughtful We gave her some choccies which I think she enjoyed LOL!

Jazz has had a shocker. She just randomly screams every now and then... I kept thinking something had bitten her but I've checked her over, no marks or anything, she keeps doing it, I'm not sure.

Feeling very lonely today, I think I'm just emotional, but I had a big cry this morning when Shel left for work. She starts at 6.30am, but leaves at 5:50. Work is MAYBE 10 minutes down the road... I just don't understand why she leaves so early. This morning really upset me as she left without giving Jazz a cuddle, Jazz woke at at 5.45, i thought she would have stayed maybe 5 minutes longer to give her a cuddle or something but no she HAD to leave right at that very second. I dunno. I'm just being emotional I know. She's always done that, it just I think its just a compilationof things that have happened this weekend that are making things very unsteady between us. Anyway, not to worry, it'll work out. Just as long as Shel is home long enough to see that something needs working out...

Kat, if you jump on here today, how about coming to the meetup tomorrow? I left you a msg on MSN. if not might be able to organise something on Thursday if you're still around?

Kel - that is such a cute pic in your ticker!! She is such a cheeky pie!!!

MM - oooh could you be pregnant again already ?

Vic - yay for the weight gain - thats fantastic!!! Woooot!!!!

MT - sometimes what should be the easiest thing in life is often the hardest I'm sure its nothin serious - maybe he's just hit a plateau or something.

Leash - if you are lonely, lemme know - I've got a car all of my very own now - so DH has taken my car to work and I've got the magna with the car seats - so can come visit - if you want the company of a toddler that is!! LOL But yeah, if you are lonely and want company - I am here. And maybe Shel just likes to get to work early. I know I like to get to work early, settle in, put my bag and lunch away, chat to friends, grab a cuppa.. that kind of stuff.. has she always left early or only recently??

Squidipa - yukko for the train to ipswich in this weather.. its sooo muggy.. its 25 degrees already... and soooo yukky... 69% humidity already - and its not even 8.30am!!! yukko!!!!

OOoh DS will be happy - Yo gabba gabba is going to be on soon. I'm very happy - he has eaten one slice of toast already and had some cheerios (cereal) for breakfast.. so he's eaten and hasn't touched his milk.. woohoo!!!!!!!!

better ring the chiro (we have an appointment today for Miss M) to see if I can make it later. its supposed to be at 10. Well, she's asleep at the moment in the swing, I'm not dressed and don't really feel like getting ready and taking the kids out by myself.. lol.. i'm so lazy...

DH left for work early this morning - stupid architects deadlines.. grr.. his boss craps me off sooo much.. such a rude *****....
