Babies Born August 1st - 15th 2008 #4

[*Beema*]

I have been at playgroup today, finished work at 11:30am, so it has been a fabbo day, Nakita is now sound asleep in her swing, hoping that she doesn't wake until after 6pm, so I can post, and finish my invocie, but because I want her to stay asleep I bet she wont!!

Woot!! I won our little sweep too a whole $9 LOL! All fun though!

Big HUGEST HUGS MT, I understand how you feel and will be there for you - well actually I am every night anyway but just thought I'd say it again.

Squidipa, these are a few of my real favourite songs, they are emotional ones, depends on my mood as to whether the tears flow:
The Pieces don't fit anymore - James Morrison
Lightning crashes - Live
My Immortal - Evanescence

Songs that don't make me cry but are very emotive, mostly positive!
My Happiness - Powder Finger
Hey Yeah - Acoustic Version by Obadiah Parker (really recommend looking this one up!)
Asleep in Perfection - Augie March
You're Beautiful - James Blunt
Mary Jayne Shoes - Fergie - OMG such a fun song!!!

My list can go on for ever......

With my feeding changes, I now sit Nakita up, she sits next to me with her legs facing into the counch, I then tickle her under the chin the whole time she feeds - unless she is sucking/drinking well. The tickling is making sure she is really filling up, and sucking effectively, she is a bit of a lazy sucker

Hugs for Seven, hope she gets over her cold quickly! Wow you have a busy time ahead, looks like we will have to catch up again after everything!

"I'M TRYING TO GET MY SON OFF TO SLEEP - THIS IS A VERY BAD TIME"

Nice and honest, I love it!

Grr for the 4am wakeup MM, I hope they sleep in longer tonight, who wants to get up at 4am!!!!

Hugs Leasha I hope you feel better today and that Jazz sleeps a lot better for you to

*EDIT: Rachel, yeah my nipple is all better than change of position helped and the Lansinoh, and I have been watching your drama's too, that sucks big time, I hope you can sort it out!!

Huge Hi to everyone else hope your bubs and you are all sleeping well!

Ok well I started this post 3 hours ago, and no Nakita didn't sleep and let me finish, I knew I would jinx myself

Have a fab night, I am off to invoice, really need the money now!

HI everyone,



Feeling better today. Just a teensy bit emotional yesterday ya reckon?

Had a nice visit from Kat (Starbright) and Shane who made me feel much better and not lonely Jazz and Shane competed to see who could have the most booby. I *think* Shane won, though does it count if he kept burping it up again?

I got my money back from that eBay seller. I reported them to ACCC. Sucks to be them, YAY to be me. It was less 10% for a cencellation fee which I think is a bit rich but at least I got most of it back.

Hey Mel was it you who suggested Thirsties? I got one of their covers and it is GREAT! No leaks AT ALL! I am so stoked! I didn't have to change her clothes AT ALL yesterday, which has to be a first. I also bought a Bummi's and a Tots Bots one just to see how they go, they're pretty good too, the Tots Bots is a bit big so leaks a bit but not even as much as my dumb PVC plichers (which are now in the bin).
Oh, BTW, Shel has a bone to pick with you... something about getting me addicted to expensive covers Nah just jokes she loves them, actually she doesn't quite know exactly how much they cost... I think I won't tell her (she's been very smart and not asked me ).

I had a door to door sales person the other day, I took Jazz to the door and she was whingy and i said "look I'm a bit busy" and he said "ok oh I'll come back when you're not busy" and I just said "don't bother". Got rid of him! With the phone ones I just hang up.

Ummmmmm, what else do I have to say. Hmmm, not much.

Oh yeah, Facebook deleted one of my breastfeeding pictures, I'm debating in my head to put it back up... stupid d!ckheads, you couldn't even SEE anything. It's the one I have up in the BB gallery Booby time
How f---ing ridiculous!

Ok well I'm gonna go, I just heard a big rumbly explosion, and it wasn't the thunder thats rolling overhead either!!!!!!! I sure hope it is kept contained!!!!! Not ready to deal with poo everywhere at this hour!

P.S. Its Jazzy's quarter birthday PMSL! 3 months already... sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, cats in the cradle and the silver spoon, yes they have no bananas...

[MummyTummy]

Yay! Happy 3 months Jazz! It is Jett's tomorrow! Can you believe that it was around this time last year we were all getting pregnant? It has gone by sooooooo quick!

This is just a quick one cos I still haven't caught up on BB yet, just read Leash's post! I can't believe it, I'm up and having breakfast and Jett is still asleep! He went to bed around 11 last night and I stayed up later to express.....

He must be exhausted from all the feeding yesterday. He fed nearly every 2 hours both sides except for a 4 hour stint in the middle of the day. The last two nappies of the day were splodey poos, one with serious leaks, so I am hoping he is just making up for the last couple of days where he has barely done anything. Normally we have poo nearly every nappy change so we don't get a backlog, but phew! twice in a row was a bit much! Made a mess of his itti bittis! I think he has done one overnight as well! So now I am hoping it isn't the overfeeding thing coming back to haunt us where it goes straight through him..... I guess I will know if he starts screaming and crying from wind-pain non-stop in the next few days.

Well....he's still asleep so I am going to have breakfast

BBL when I finally catch up on all the goss!

[mountain mummy]

Morning all you lovely mummies!!

Oh yeah, Facebook deleted one of my breastfeeding pictures, I'm debating in my head to put it back up... stupid d!ckheads, you couldn't even SEE anything.

Leash - that is just super dooper pathetically ridiculous!!!!!! But have you heard the government wants to permanently filter the internet???? Whatever happened to freedom of speech????

sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, cats in the cradle and the silver spoon, yes they have no bananas...

pmsl Leash!!! Too much Simpsons! LOL!

Made a mess of his itti bittis!

MT - Don't ya just hate that??? Wait til he's a toddler doing toddler sized poos!!! LOL (Mel would be there I suppose!! )

grr at whoever first mentioned yo gabba gabba, i have the "party in my tummy" song in my head again

Rach - LOL!!!! I always get their songs stuck in my head - please don't throw things at friends ... keep your hands to yourself ... it's fun to wash your hair .... I'm so I'm so sorry ... yeah well, you can tell what most of my day is about pmsl!!
And bugger about it costing YOU ... sheesh, it's not like you put your "profile" up there! I still can't get over it hey??

Grr for the 4am wakeup MM, I hope they sleep in longer tonight, who wants to get up at 4am!!!!

Vic, they did sleep longer, methinks it was because they were in trouble last night though!!

do you know how reliable pregnancy tests after giving birth are? i mean how long till the HCG is out of your system totally? i have no idea. we're not TTC again yet but DH jokes about it and i say i want my body to get back to normal first!!

I have no idea either, I've never had to do a preg test this soon after giving birth before!! LOL! Even though I have 4 kids, I'm still loving baby time with Veygas! Maybe because I'm his favourite parent LOL! Just the way he looks at me, like I'm his EVERYTHING (well I am atm!!LOL) ... I'd LOVE to have a houseful of kids (OK so it's a bit full now, but YKWIM!!) DP was actually talking about FOSTERING .. apparently there is a group of 5 siblings they want to keep together ... I'd LOVE that!! (9 kids, plus potentially one on the way ... HOUSE FULL!!!!! LOL)

hehehe I dragged out my sewing machine yesterday (it was covered in dust due to 2 years of no use!!LOL) and got some scrap material to see if I could actually MAKE a cloth nappy, and IT WORKED!!! So i ordered some proper materials and I'm gonna do my own!!!

This morning when I got up, Veygas was still asleep, so I expressed in the shower (he didn't feed through the night) and came out with 200ml which he guzzled while we had breakfast, then he had MORE about half an hour later before going back to sleep! Talk about hungry hungry hippo LOL!

Anyhoo, I'm gonna have a cuppa while Master V is asleep!

Mwaaaaaah to all! xx

[Arimeh]

Kell - I hope Seven's cold clears up soon!!!! Its terrible to hear them snuffling and you know that they just must be feeling like crap!!!! I can't believe the wedding has come around so quickly!!!!!! You must be getting so excited!!!

MM - hmm.. as soon as I find out that they are telemarketers I hang up on them!!! LOL... except those that call at 6pm - THEN I get stuck into them about being bloody inconsiderate and friggin idiots to call at the busiest time in people's lives.. lol.. but I'm a big meanie..

rach - I can't believe someone can do that - its stupid that it costs YOU money... stupid people in the world.. grrrr..

Vic - yay for the $9!! well done

Leash - awwww I didn't know Kat was coming!!!!!! thanks for the invite !!!! And nope wasn't me that suggested thirsties, but I have one and its pretty good. BIG sizings though. Happy 3 months to jazz today!!

MT - yup. I know the newborn explosion in an itti bitti... its gross... thank GOD for the little squirt is all I can say..

MM - yay for making a nappy!!! I couldn't sew two pieces of material together to save my life.. so good on you!!!! Woot!!!!

Not much is happening here. Same old same old.

[Indadhanu]

Mel I was going to then I read in another thread that you were busy in Caloundra today and ... I said to Kat I was going to invite you but I thought you were busy! I'm sowwwwwwwwy *looks up with bottom lip poking out and big puppy doggy eyes*

[thepixie]

HAPPY THREE MONTHS JAZZ!!!!
Was just looking at your photos Leash and she is such a little cutie! I can't believe how fast they are growing up!
MT - bummer about the itti bitti blowout.... I just realised the other day I hadn't put Beth in her IBs and I thought I had better before she grew out of them! Love them though, they look soooooo cute on her. Might have to get some more!
MM - Wow, NINE kids!!!!! that is amazing. I can't even imagine it. I'm sure you could make it work though, your kids are so well behaved and I think at some point you hit critical mass, and they start helping to look after each other. We told you about our friends who had seven kids together and then decided to get married - although with nine you would beat them! And good on you for making a nappy - I'm so impressed. I have got this idea in my head I want to make a patchwork quilt but I would have to do it by hand so it will take a looooooooong time..... and I don't really know where to start
Vic - congrats on your win!
Kel - how exciting about the wedding and christening, but MAN you must be flat out!
rach - saw the drama unfolding on FB -
Mel - mwah - love ya!
Melbourne cup lunch yesterday with MG was good.... glad I didn't put a bet on though cause I would have lost! Today our walk around the bay wasn't cancelled for the first time ever and I just got back. My feet are killing me! Was pretty much pushing the pram from 9.30 until 2.00 with a half hour break for coffee! Now my friend is popping over so gonna try to rustle up something to eat quickly - I'm starving!
big wave to everyone i missed

Mel I was going to then I read in another thread that you were busy in Caloundra today and ... I said to Kat I was going to invite you but I thought you were busy! I'm sowwwwwwwwy *looks up with bottom lip poking out and big puppy doggy eyes*
