:bluecheer: :bluecheer:Since wednesday we have a GAIN of 95 GRAMS!!!!!!!!!:bluecheer: :bluecheer:
And its not even offical weigh in yet
Hi all
Well MIL has left so now I'm back in the midst of things. Have read back through the posts briefly but wont do personals, too hard :lol:
Had a $hitty day yesterday - I was racing against time to get to see my friend at the hospital. Had to be there by 1pm as apparently they are strict on mums resting between 1-2:30pm. I caught the train from Robina at 10am which would of got to the station I was wanting to get to just after 11am so yeah went up to Roma St, got off and had to change platforms (had 3 minutes to catch a lift down to the subway, run along to the next lift and get onto plat 8) got on the train and thought yay cool we've made it. Sat there and the train didnt make a stop for like another 10mins and I was starting to think "I did get on the right train" then found out it wasnt stopping where I needed to go to cause they were doing work on the line :angry: first stop was corinda; I had no idea where I was so caught the next northbound train back to Roma St. By the time I got back it was 12:15pm and I was told I would have to catch a bus!!! I thought bugger that - its all too hard so caught the train back home to Robina :lol:
so yeah yesterday was a good train ride :rofl: Kye was really good too - bar the fact he decided to do the biggest poo on the way home.
Changing him while the train is rocking around was such a mission!!
As for his weigh in yesterday; good news he only gained 250 grams :dance: I guess thats still quite a big gain but I was expecting 300-400g so I was real happy :lol:
Anyways dinner is a calling so must go... hope everyone is enjoying their saturday!
Hi guys - sorry been MIA for a few days - been a really rough week.
Squidipa - congrats on the gain - thats a great amount!!!
Sasha - congrats on the small gain.. lol
Can't remember what else was said - but :hug: to everyone.
Things here are ok - mum took DS for the day so me and DH got stuck into the housework. So at least the house is reasonable now - that makes me feel much better!!!!
I weighed and measured DD today - as she is now 13 weeks and everyone was telling me how long she is..
so..
Length - 67cm
Weight - 5.7kg
Such a long skinny thing she is!!!!!
:hug: to everyone - and hope you are all having a great weekend!!
G'day everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend!@
We gained 40grams, so Nakita is 4500grams exactly, it felt like more, so it was dissappointing to see it, but at least it was a gain. We have a few things to try this week, and have to get weighed again next Friday. :doh: Was really hoping for a week off weighing in!
Also today my LHS nipple is split and OMG it is killing me! I am piling on the lansinogh, hoping that it is improving b4 her next feed or I might have to try the nipple shield on there. I have just given N her late evening bottle, we have got her back onto it after waking at 4.30am for a few days!
We went to the halloween party last night and got home @ 1 am, but as I had a head full of glitter hairspray I had a shower washed and blow dried my hair and got to bed after 1.30am :o
I am wondering the same, I will know within the next couple of weeks:
I know it's a long shot, but maybe I have started O-ing again ... Hard to tell while still BF-ing but all signs seem to be pointing that way ....
Fabulous news Squidipa!! :bluecheer::
Since wednesday we have a GAIN of 95 GRAMS!!!!!!!!!
And its not even offical weigh in yet
:rofl: that would have been interesting!!:
Changing him while the train is rocking around was such a mission!!
MM all I can say is - Wonder Week!!! I hope!!:
Veygas slept through the night for almost 2 weeks (and is now waking once or twice again )
Can't wait to see his pics!!:
time to take some cute pics of shane in his cool Halloween suit!!
That is brilliant Sasha, I was sooo happy for ya when I got your message :bluecheer::
As for his weigh in yesterday; good news he only gained 250 grams I guess thats still quite a big gain but I was expecting 300-400g so I was real happy
Wow Mel, she really is long!! I will get N's length done this week when we weigh in again.
Here are some links to piccies of me and little miss N!! I hope they work they are supposed to be public links to Facebook!
Nakita and I
Nakita getting sleepy
Nakita sound asleep
Well, I have just perservered through expressing, the let down didn't really happen either, just too painful, ouchies!!!
Hey folks
Quick personals first....
Squidipa :bluecheer: YAY FOR JOSIAH'S WEIGHT GAIN! :bluecheer: You must be sooo happy that all your hard work is paying off! Well done.
Vic - cute photos, must have been a fun party! Love the lady bug outfit!
Mel - Miss M is so tall! Hope DS starts being good for you again, sounds like he's been hard work lately! And great of your mum to take him for the day - what a shame you had to waste it on housework LOL
Sash - what a PITA! but at least Kye enjoyed his train ride! Train is about the only transport we haven't tried Beth on yet. She has tried a car, plane, bus and boat!
MM & SB - no AF here either.... and Beth has been sleeping through (mostly) for a couple of weeks. The Bear keeps saying he thinks I am pregnant again cause I have been a little lazy about contraception lately :redface: and I still have a little pot belly. God I hope not, :pray: Really don't want to be pregnant again right now! Have to be more careful!
Leash, kiwigirl, mel, it's funny how they like our singing! No one else in the world would like mine, I guess that's one of the joys of parenthood LOL - great song Leash :rofl:
(Mel you're excused from reading the rest as I already posted it on July)
Well, we have had a super busy weekend. Friday night was the big 60th birthday bash for the ILs. They had a great time. We took Beth all dressed in pink with little fairy wings which everyone thought was sooooo cute (took one cute pic which I'll post eventually). But it was at a lousy time for a 12 week old baby.... it started at 7pm and went on all night, and there was a live band, and lights and dozens of drunk people who all wanted to squeeze her cheeks and cuddle her. She hadn't had a proper nap in the afternoon so she was pretty much on the verge of a nervous breakdown the whole time. We didn't really let people cuddle her because she would have just screamed the house down. We left about 10.30. Yesterday we had the markets in the morning and in the afternoon we had a boat cruise around the harbour which the Bear organised with my (sort of) uncle. It was a great day and much better for Beth, she slept a lot because the rocking of the boat was very soothing. But she also got passed around and made googoo eyes at people. The Bear's sister is in town (both his siblings are in Australia for the 60th) and she is really :angry:ing me off. She is constantly trying to grab Beth and then immediately starts posing for photos with her. You can just see her thinking "I look so good with this baby". Her mother and husband are always on standby with the camera as soon as she picks Beth up. She has never taken any interest in us (the feeling is pretty mutual) but now she has tried to invite herself over for dinner next week. I don't really want her to come especially since I have guests 2 other nights this week, I think cooking for guests 3 times in one week is too much to ask, and since she is the least welcome I think we will tell her to organise a baby-friendly cafe. of course she is such a cheapskate she will just get her mother to cook so it will be dinner at the PILs. The photo thing really annoys me too, because no one takes photos of me with Beth. There are going to be more photos of SIL holding Beth with that ghoulish creepy smile than of me with her. The poor baby is going to grow up thinking I didn't love her :crying:
And my mum is back from Italy tomorrow so we will lose our second car and the one we were going to borrow next has fallen through.... so it's walkies for me again!
Hello all,
Im back finally after our computer had a meltdown - again.
Yay for Josiah! He's really doing well now! Congratulations!
Sorry, I have no hope in you know where of catching up, so I won't even try. I have so much to do before the wedding - in 2 weeks!
Seven had a bad night last night, not going to sleep until 2.15am. I think it was because we didnt' do 'The Routine' so I will be back doing it again tonight!
Hope you are all well. Gotta fly!
Hey folks

Afternoon all :)
Vic - thanks for adding me as a friend :) Hope your nip is getting better!!!! that stuff is brilliant.. such gorgeous pics too honey..
Pixie chick - ooh could there be another bub on the way? hehe... we haven't been lazy with the condoms - I even put a couple in DH's pillowcase.. LOL Can never be TOO careful.. not that we are doing anything to make a baby :rolleyes: And can I slap your SIL? Sounds like a total cow.. and don't worry, beth will know you totally adore her!!!! Just from the sheer number of pics you take of her - she will know you spent all your waking time with her and that she was sooo important and precious you didn't want someone else to take pics of her - you wanted that yourself - hence why you aren't in the pics too. I'm never in any pics with my kids - cos I hate my photo being taken.
Oh and such nice pics.. sooo cute... she's gorgeous.. you guys have to meet up with us!!!!!!!!
Kell - hope you have a better night with Seven tonight.
DD woke up at 1am last night- first time in weeks!! - and DH couldn't settle her, and he was getting so frustrated - which was making me angry hearing him get angry at her - so I grabbed her and went out to the loungeroom and gave her a bottle - she sculled the lot!! LOL musta been hungry!!!!!! I thought she was going to be a shocker to settle too, so I just put her in her cot, gave her a couple of pats and went back to bed.. I heard her mutter to herself and then I woke up at 7am.. pmsl.. she must of gone back to sleep herself - what a treasure.. ;)
better go do some more housework I suppose while both kids are asleep!!!
well i am still up tho josh is asleep
random q ladies what song makes you cry?
Myn is...
a page is turned, from bebo norman. Google it. I had this song as my walk down the isle song at our wedding.
Good Morning Mums
I don't have much time to reply to personals
I hope youa re getting mroe sleep that us, Nakita has decided that she is sticking with the 4.50-5am wake up for a boob time :(
No worries Mel :)
I hope last night was better Kell
Love the photos Pixie - just adorable! AND GRRRR at SIL, that would $hit me off big time!! Big Hugs :hug:
I'll get back to u on that squidipa!
I won't be on much today, if I am lucky i might get to read what you are chatting about.
I have to be in the office and have a meeting at 10:30am, then after lunch I am going to do a check weighin with Nakita, jsut to see how things went over the weekend, not expecting anything, but just want to see if we are on the right track.
Then I have Yoga in the city tonight so won't be around until maybe late this eveing, if I have a minute will pop back.
Have a lovely day!!
:leap:
Hey folks
Sounds hectic for you Vic, I don't know how you do it working already. Especially with the sleep deprivation :rolleyes: 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 :leap:
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 :cry:
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
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 :)
Vic how did N GO???????
BTW i am NEVER in pics i am the one whom is always taking them.
Kel - just reading those couple of lines from that song teared me up!!
Squidipa - YAY for joshie's weigh gain :leap:
Pixie - woohoo for Beth's weight too! :cheer: And gorgeous pics too! Hmmm Bear seems to have an intuition about things .... ;)
Vic - OMG you certainly pack alot into your day! :o Hope your nipple is getting better too :hug:
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!! :rofl:
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!
:cheer: +150grams in 3 days!!!!!! :cheer:
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!!
:hooray::hooray::hooray:
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. :wtf:
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! :o
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 :doh: 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... :cry:
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?
Yeah what the???? thats oh my i am so sorry i certainly understand the what the effect, I hope your supply goes up soon, Not sure if josh will gain that much on top of the half week weigh in as two days after that eh had only gained 5 grams. It feels like i just cant keep up i am exhausted all the time with all the feeds 6 feeds between 5 and 7pm then expressing every feed and giving him that and a feed at 10.30 at night its full on so i do understand BIG HUGS!!!!:grouphug::
sorry to post this all together as it seems a bit unfair but i am running outa time here gotta go:
CONGRATS BIGGGGGG TIME NAKITA wow WELLL DONE MOM thats increadable i am SOOOOOOOO impressed well done:cheer::cheer:
what ay doing mom to gain that?
seems like josh needs to move hi behind as everyone is bigger than him.
BIG HUGS LEASHA u should give me a call some time sweet :) *bunch of flowers*
O.k LONGGGGGG day training it to Ipswich today for an appointment for mys elf regarding my knee's not that i think anything will come out of it otehr than me saturated in sweat int his HUMID horrid weather.
