Just a quickie....
mel YAY for DS!
Squiddy sounds like teething to me....
Everyone seems to be having the same problem of hard to settle baby at the moment... we have had that this week too! not sure if she has a cold or if she is just a bit more aware of things so we will see how next week goes...
Beth has been so fixated with our food this weekend we have let her try a few things... the Bear gave her some vegemite, she had some cucumber at lunch today and he even let her try my dessert! she thought it was all pretty exciting. She's just tasting things atm but we are thinking we will do the BLS thing.... seems like the way to go... anyway the Bear is trying to get me to come to bed so gotta scoot
to all!

Hey Everyone!

I'm not sure how long I haven't been on here. Been busy doing all sorts!

Aricyn for wees in the potty.....but it does mean no more gorgeous nappies.....

Sasha - Gorgeous pic of you and Kye on MSN! Didn't you get the treadmill when you were TTCing? How come you decided to sell? But yay anyway!

Squidipa - Great ticker pic! Joshie looks sooo cute! Could be teething? I'm still waiting for my periods to start again, but I am still solely breastfeeding so no real surprises there.

Pixie - Beth is such a sweetheart! Gorgeous Christmas dress too.

One of the reasons our bubs may be having trouble settling, or just generally being cranky or clingy is that 19 weeks is a wonder week leap. So in the lead up (I think it was from about 14 weeks right up to 20 weeks) they may be cranky, clingy and/or crying or just generally not themselves. They are now learning more complex skills, so at about 20 weeks they should settle back down and keep practicing their new skills Remember that is 20 weeks from EDD, not actual birthdate. Not sure when you were due Mel and Pixie....

Mel are you starting a new business? Yo can PM me if I'm right Hehe!

Ok, time for me to go to bed cos I can't think straight anymore! Poo Sunday hasn't happened, so I am waiting for the explosion tomorrow!!

Squidipa: G sucks her finger when shes feeding too, i figured she just LOVES her fingers SO much that has to suck them at all times. Maybe teething though.not sure about the purple legs though

Pixie: without sounding like an idiot what is the "BLS thing" ? G been doing the same with food, have been giving her tastes of things, she opens her mouth in antisipation when she sees the spoon coming....and wants more.

G seems to be getting really hungry at the mo, i seem to be feeding her loads more than normal. must be a growth spurt or something.
actually went out to a restaurant for dinner yesterday, mind you we were back home at 7.30 but felt good to go out with G and DH. and she didnt mind, think she quite enjoyed being out in the dark.

Hi to all.

[squidipa]

mt pixie and becka thansk for your input

MT thanks for that based on that info josh would be 19 weeks so yeah makes sense thanks again.

becka where about do you live?

Squidipa - hey just had a thought about the purple blotchy legs. A friend of mine's baby had purple blotches that came and went one night. She ended up taking him to hospital because the MCH advice line suggested meningitis. When she got there he had a great big fart and that was the end of it. No meningitis, just wind!! So perhaps it could be wind or even constipation? What's his poo output like? What is the consistency?

[squidipa]

No meningitis, just wind!! So perhaps it could be wind or even constipation? What's his poo output like? What is the consistency?

poo is very frothy but like whipped green cream very soft. thats interesting tho that maybe it could be wind. I just remember with DS3 ppl woudl freek out and say all the time your son has meningitis or meningacoccle (howeva thats spelt) when he didn't. I couldnt pick DS3 up due to it and after seeing specialists they said itw as poor circulation due to his extra weight. So based on that i just presumed maybe its the same thing with joshie. I might just see if there is some sort of runtine with it if it co insides with wind. It goes splotchy like when a baby is cold. YET the rest of him is perfect and consistent in colour and he could even be sweating. well its late i am tired just waiting on the last feed feed for josh but he seems to be stirring then going straight back to sleep.

Beck - BLS is where the baby eats the same stuff as you, there is no pureed stuff and bubs feeds themselves so they control their food input - not the parent.

Looks like everyone is having a bit of an unsettled time... Miss M was fed at around 5.00pm last night - we put her to bed around 630ish - she woke up at 2.30 ( I was dead to the world but DH got up to her) moved her in the cot - and then she woke up at 6am for a feed!!!
And I hadn't changed her nappy - I'm afraid to look at what the mother-ease cover is containing...lol

2nd last day at work today - yay!!

And thanks for toilet training comments - I'm not getting too excited - so not too worried about the nappies yet

[thepixie]

Thanks for that Mel - having a hard time getting a minute to post today!
MT I hope it is just a wonder week thing.... Beth was due on 29 July so must be hitting about 20 weeks any day now... she will be back to normal... I was starting to think this was the new status quo!
Having a hard time getting my act together today.... supposed to be heading out to a BB members' place but have to wait for the window cleaner to turn up and clean the windows... Beth was up at 5.40 am so feeling a bit fuzzy!
Hope everyone has a good day!

[mountain mummy]

Hey all!

I have been reading posts over the last few days, but had no time to reply, and now I have no idea what I was going to say to it all

I made my first nappy tonight!! I am so excited .... I had some ideas and tried to incorporate them into the nappy, but now that I have made it, I can see where to make changes, so it's all good ... I've posted photos here if anyone is interested. I won't be able to get any photos of Master V in it until tomorrow

Has anyone noticed their bubs aren't as chubby anymore??? I was looking at V the other day and although he's not rolling, crawling etc he just looks thinner (well not as chubby LOL) ... Maybe I'm just deluded!

Anyways, I'll try to keep up more regularly but right now I think I should sleep

mwah xxx

[2girlz]

Allegra has thinned out a little.
LOL I have a laugh everytime I see you sig MM I love your ticker baby does he still look the same?
