Babies Born August 1st - 15th 2008 #4

[thepixie]

Hello
Err, busy I guess Vic! Although not entirely sure what I've been doing! Yesterday just went shopping in the morning and mothers' group in the afternoon.... went out for dinner on thursday night... before that just trying to recover from our bear-brained adventure to melbourne last week!
Tonight we said we would go out to dinner for a friends' birthday.... but we didn't realise we couldn't take Beth, we always take her when we go out for dinner. So I will have to ask my SM to babysit.... seems a waste of good babysitting to be honest because it's going to be really truly awful - it's an indian restaurant (that part is fine) with a karaoke bar or show or something.... we were supposed to pick songs for the birthday boy (50 something and very fat texan guy) to sing... I couldn't even bear to look at the options!
Hope all you Qld ladies are ok with those storms, what a wild couple of days!
Squiddy hope you find out what's going on with J
Vic - cute cargos!
MM - your change table just has .... other priorities!
Leash thanks for adding me on FB
MT - what movie did you see? My folks keep saying we should go to the movies, but that's just cause they are desperate to baby sit!
Got my Yummy Mummy day spa treatment tomorrow at the observatory hotel - birthday pressie from the Bear - it took 5 weeks to get an appointment!
I posted some new photos in my members gallery, of the meetup with one of my July Baby Buddies if anyone is interested
hope this link works

Yeah, Vic, busy!

House hunting, dealing with a teething clingy baby ... it's funny, he's fine when I'm holding him, or sitting and looking at him while he's in his rocker or swing - he laughs and smiles, but as soon as I turn my back or just stop looking at him, he cries

Pixie - I understand about taking kids out to dinner ... we always take all of ours everywhere!! LOL! If it's somewhere that the kids aren't welcome, we usually don't go But it's usually too hard to organise someone else to look after them anyway!

Mel - hope Master A is feeling better

Squidipa - I'm pretty crap at guessing ... but I'll go with 210 grams

Anyways, hope everyone else is good. I'm gonna try get some sleep ...

Just quickly before I go, I asked Veygas if we could not have a 3am wake up the other night and he didn't wake til 5am (I was hoping for at least 6am) and then last nigh he slept through again! But I'm not holding my breath, I know he's not in the best of spirits with these toothy pegs trying to pop through....

Hopefully try to get on again tomorrow.

Night all!

Hey folks.... well Beth had a really odd day, was crying and clingy most of the day, I think she had diarrhea or a tummy upset or something. Bear's parents were going to baby sit but I couldn't leave her with someone when she was feeling so sorry for herself. So we didn't go out to dinner, just stayed at home, the Bear cooked something delish and we watched the Bill. Gave her some panadol and she was good as new!
MM I know what you mean about the clinginess.... Beth is a bit like that when having bad days with her teeth, and it's really not like her at all... and I forgot to say yesterday
HAPPY FOUR MONTHS VEYGAS!!!!!
Squidipa I'll guess 300 grams
mel - mwah me wuvs ya
to everyone hope you're having a great weekend!

G'day!!!

Had a super busy day yesterdaym but was really good

Bridesmaid dress fitting went well, picked up Nakita's high chair, will put some piccies on our blog later today I hope, she loved it and looks soo cute!! She can just see above the tray

Saturday is no poo day in our house She did an explosive one all over daddy! So much so that I weighed it (and the weight excluded allt he poo on dady and her own clotes and the change table, adn it was 265gram - the nappy of 30grams, it was a clean one too so not a lot of pee!!! I put her on the scales as well and post poo she was 5115 (so 35 grams up from Wed (hehe, which doesn't bother me in the slightest, and was just for fun).

I have just been tot he farmer's markets (a different set than I usually go to) got lots of lovely meats and vegies, costs more than my normal markets but nice for a treat

HAPPY 4 MONTHS VEYGAS!!!!

Squidipa, hmmm my guess is 290 grams

Nice that Veygas listened to you MM, hopefully he lengthens that out more!

I hope Beth has a better day Pixie, big hugs for her!

Mel I don't envy the humidity, but would lvoe lots mroe rain, we had a bit her yesterday and the night ebfore, but need to theck the BOM site to see what is coming up

Well must runa dn get organised, little miss will be up very shortly, been 4 hours since she has fed (8.15am) and her feed before that was midnight! She is sleeping soundly still, she slept a lot yesterday too, hope she is feeling okay and not coming down with anything!!

morning all!!! (just!)

Vic - such a gorgeous pic in your ticker!!!! sooo cute!!!!!!!

MM - so sorry mate - missed the 4 months for V... sorry sorry sorry!!! forgive me?!?!

Squidipa - no ideas here mate, but I hope its a good one. When are you guys thinking of TTC again (just in relation to your girl comment )

Hello to everyone else - all here is good, well, happy etc..

DS is much better - still gets tired more than usual, but we've stopped the antibiotics now, so hopefully he'll pick up by tomorrow. Now DH is sick it never ends!!!!!

Miss M is on a pretty good routine here at the moment, not sure how long it will last!!! Wake up 6.30 and feed
Go to bed at 8am
Wake up 9.30 and feed
Go to bed at 11 am
Wake up at 1.30 and feed
go to bed at 3pm
Wake up around 4.30 and feed
Go to bed at 6
We wake her up at 8.30 and feed - then straight back to bed
Wake up at 6.30am!

Yup, can't ask for a more perfect baby! I think she was up at 5.30 today, but spent about an hour chattering away to herself in the bedroom.. she's such a little angel.. maybe I should stop at her - cos the next one might not be as good.. lol

Suppose I'd better get off my fat butt and do something

Since both kids are asleep and everything. Oh and we tried to get her the next size teat, but she just splutters, coughs and chokes, so she's still on the newborn teats..

Mel - Funny you say this as I was thinking on Friday it must just about be time to change K's teat. I checked out the packet in the chemist (been using Pigeon brand) and actually noticed the 'small' teat says 2-3mnth+ .... do you HAVE to change teats as they get older... I'm guessing you would as why else would they make em???
Whats the difference?

Re: routines - K's is still good. He is still sleeping through the night Most nights is usually in bed by 8:30pm and sleeps through until between 5 and 6am

He had another swim in our pool yesterday, he is so good in the water. I had a hold of him under his armpits and was lifting him up out of the water then lowering him back down and he was cracking up laughing, was sooo cute!! I'm so pleased he hasnt cracked it but I guess being a waterbirth baby he's semi used to it hehe

I've also been looking around to try and find a baby swim class, have found a few but now just need to ring up and enquire as to days, times etc

Anyways the man is asleep so I'm gonna grab something to eat while I can LOL

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

EDIT: I added a pic of Kye taken the other day to my album, i think its such a cute one of him!! https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...hp?photo=10993
