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..

march next year got so much house work here so once again gotta scoot but i am reading posts when i can do

vic thats a massive poop

[*Beema*]

Wow Squiipa March next year!!! Good Luck!! I'm not going to be ready then I don't think!!

It was huge - haha!! But it shows that massive difference in weight with poo'ing and pee'ing!!! Especially when little Miss is holding them in for days now!

Oh thanks for your comments about her clothes, I don't think I will be selling them though, waiting to see what we have in the future! She has a lot of "brand" clothing but if I buy it, it is never full price, usually half price of less, and mroe often cheaper than the non brand stuff! I am a bargain hunter!

*EDIT, HIGHCHAIR PICTURES ARE ON OUR BLOG NOW!* LINK BELOW IN SIG.

Must go back to jobs!!

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

Sash - difference is the flow - so as they get older, the newborn teats are apparently too slow for them and they get frustrated with it. Which is what we thought was happening cos she's been off her bottles a bit lately - even daycare thought so too - but NOPE.. still newborn for her.
I wouldn't switch his teats until you think he is getting fussy with the flow. We replace ours every 2 months as well, saves them from getting old and slipping into the bottle neck when they suck (we use the pigeon ones too)

Vic - no babies in march for you huh We'll start trying in June.... well.. we'll see what happens if we move or not

Better go have lunch and check on Miss M... just as I wrote up her normal routine before- she has gone and bloody changed it on me today.. lol

[~StarBright~]

hey all- sorry i have been mia.. busy busy busy- we are heading off in a week- will try and get some more computer time in- but will see how i go!!!

Squidipa... i guess 150grams!! Goodluck!!!

Hey folks!
Busy in here today.... I just got back from my day spa treatment the Bear got me as a birthday present.... it was great! so relaxing, felt very pampered! The Bear looked after Beth, but unfortunately we haven't given her a bottle for a while and little miss seems to have forgotten milk comes in bottles as well as boobies! the Bear had a bit of a battle on his hands apparently! Then he gave her all the milk in the fridge - about 240mls! Will have to make sure we give her a bottle every week or so so she doesn't forget again!
anyway Bear is in Singapore next week so it will just be me & DD from tuesday til friday.
Beema woah on the poo - that was huge! you should have named it! LOL
SB ... good luck with the packing and moving!
Mel, Squiddy you're all so keen on the TTC.... not planning the second one - Mel I think I am like you, I'm scared the next one won't be as good as DD! Beema I know what you mean about being high risk, even though we only had that issue with DD not breathing when she was born, and it is unlikely to happen again it still gives me pause when thinking about TTC another one. Well just wait for the mood to strike I guess!
Sash cute pic of Kye, and great that he is sleeping through..... Last night was a good one for DD after all that, last feed at 9.55 and didn't wake up till nearly 8am!
to MM Rach MT and everyone.... gotta run, baby grizzling!

[squidipa]

thanks for your guesses on joshies weight,

[kiwigirl]

squidipa - my guess is 200g

sasha - love that pic of kye, he and e have such similar builds! they even look a teeny bit similar to me in that pic

thepixie - aww yay for a spa treatment!! i have been looking at getting a massage or something as a treat. i am experiencing the same sagas with e trying to take a EBM bottle right now - haven't done one in ages (oops) and he's not taking them now tried twice with no luck. i really really want to go watch beckham play on dec 6 so will keep trying.

vic - lol at weighing n's poop! e has gone 6 days and then massive poop, then another 6 days and two massive poops. We're on day 3 again now lol.

hi everyone else, hope you had a fantastic weekend.. and thanks for all your birthday wishes on FB. had a fab bbq at our place with about 20 friends.

AND.... a year ago today i found out i was pregnant! we were in london on our round-the-world trip. i snuck out from our hotel and got a test because my bb had been a bit sore and i was wondering (no other signs tho). i remember buying the test cos it was so expensive! did the test in the hotel bathroom and then came out and told dh (who was watching tv). we were happy but more reserved than when i got my first positive test (which ended in a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks) but it was so nice to have that news a couple of days after my birthday.

when/how did you find out you were pregnant?

[*Beema*]

Vic - no babies in march for you huh We'll start trying in June.... well.. we'll see what happens if we move or not

Nah, not just yet, I need to take into consideration that I am high risk
I have a 50% of have a prem, 33% chance it will be between 31-35 weeks. So I need to be in a position to be able to deal with that should it happen (although hoping that we get to go FT!!!). There are so many complicaitons that come with a prem, will depends on how early, care required, time in hospital, having another bub to look after etc. So we have to take all of that into consideration.

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

Awesome Sasha, hope it continues!!!

Goodluck packing SB, hope you move goes well

Must run, my lamb roast is cooked!!!
