[kiwigirl]

Hi everyone

Took Eli into my work today, everyone wanted a cuddle and he was so well-behaved and happy He went back to his old routine of waking every 3:15 last night (yay!) and he seems back to himself totally again.

Here's a pic I took of him yesterday in fuzzibunz nappies.

the homemade muffins were amazing too when I woke up

YUM! I love homemade muffins.. the ones in the stores these days are more cake-like and too big!

the sound of the nappy filling that can be heard from the other end of the flat...

Hehe - same here, gee they are loud eh!!

Hope you are all well!

Hello posting 2 days in a row WOOOHOOO

Kiwigirl- Eli is so cute!! He sounds like a real cuddly baby

Sasha- I still can't believe Kye has gone up a nappy size already Allegra is still swimming in the new born sizes. YAY for getting the extra hour of sleep time do you find he is more awake during the day?

I'm sooooo happy I can fit back into my jeans and do up the buttons wooohoooo. I still have the pigment line (forgot what it's called) on my belly so still trying to keep my tops covering my belly I hope it goes before it heats up and i'm exchanging jumpers for swimmers but i'm wanting my new bigger boobies to stay

YAY! It's such the nicest feeling to wear your old jeans eh? I can wear two of my old jeans and am LOVING it I have some others I need to lose more weight to wear, but they were too tight for me when I got pregnant with Eli anyways. I still have the pigment line too - wonder how long it lasts? Want to wear a bikini if poss this summer!!

Haha I'm liking having bigger boobies too, since I'm normally on the smaller side.. tried on a summer dress the other day in Dotti and was like WOW, I'm hanging out of this dress LOL!!!

PMSL!!!!
I can't wait to go summer clothes shopping.
Has anyone else got those new bonds outfits (Allegra is wearing hers in my ticker pic) that don't have the buttons but pull down at the back? they reckon that it's suppose to be less disturbing to baby when changing but I find them to be a pain to get on and off

Sorry Squidipa I'm such a slow typer hee hee yep Cadence plays up to she did big time last night. Does your three year old get growing pains? Cadence woke us all up crying saying ouch and grabbing her knees I'm thinking it's growing pains

[squidipa]

Kiwi girl i showed hubbie Eli's pic and he was like wow a big boy very healthy in deed!!

Sasha congrats on 4 hours of sleeping make a big diff hey

Mummy tummy where are you??

Cant remeber think it was MM whoms aid that the antibiotics made bubs restless thats exactly whats going on here.
I got 3 parcels today and one i had to go collect. the collected thing was papers to sign legal stuff. I got my planetarium today, My sister send me a whole lot of stuff like..
Towel and bibs and this awesome 3 piece cream thick size 0 outfit Reeboks and other shoes and more clothes. One of my favorites is a sailors costume in Royal velvet with matching hat

I sent some pics of to the family today so cant wait for them to get them. hardly had anytime with hubbie today. Oh yeah and the last parcel was something i got in deals direct for christmas for DD ist a make your own beaded watch. Got my medicare card to but Josh has his own card as there is just to many of us haha. he is EXTRA special!
Hubbies making sure im getting all my antibiotics so that GREAT think in end might do bubs good as his snot this morning was greenish.

Kel good on ay being back in ya jeans. due to loosing 10 kilo already my boobs dropped down to 16C oh bugger but doesn't mater i must be like 14 up top of body and a 16 on hips the last lot of weight is there. its not budging but i am not exactly trying. Hubbie is dropping weight good hey Good on him i am so proud of him. I can put my old pants on but cant do them up. I hate this sagging sausage i got hanging of the bottom of my tummie. I guess ya gotta expect that after 4 kid and if ya dont work out with 3 c sections hey

Josh is wide eyes and laying in bouncer grr the 3 year old got snapped playing int hat today. Does any of your kids play up REAL BAD under ya nose when your on phone??? GRR the 3 year old does. Oh josh is upset now gotta go see doesnt take long. bet eh just wants a huggle

Rachel - Eli is so cue in his fuzzbunz!!

I can fit into both pairs of jeans I own! Bit of overhang, but it's not uncomfortable - it just looks bad!! lol!

Veygas is just about to move up to infant size nappies (can't believe he was in newborns this long!!) but we still had about 1/4 of a box of newborns so I'm making him wait a few more days!

We have the paed surgeon appt next Monday, in the meantime, an abdo u/s on Wednesday ... he hasn't done a poo since yesterday morning (poor thing woke up covered in it, so it must have been quite explosive!) and the hernia is feeling a little harder today - it actually had popped back in yesterday, but alas, out again today I hate dosing him up, but the panadol is keeping him settled and helping him sleep - he is going for 3.5 - 4 hours at a time between feeds, day and night! But most of his awake time is pretty whingy atm, which I can understand, but it's hard to try and get everything done with him constantly attached to me

Anyway, must scoot, he's unsettled and crying again ... hopefully bbl to catch up on more personals!

[squidipa]

MM my ex husband was born with hernia the removed it same day. I wish you all the best with scan and next monday. my appointment is tomorrow i hope no i sorta feel like it has to be done a Slip so hope he see's that too. or else i will always be worried what if it dont work properly in adult hood!

josh sleep's and feeds constant after 8pm till 5 every 4 hours abouts but during day its not constant sleep or feeds. its a bit everywhere. recently at 10 i force a feed on him and he sleeps til 5am but he does wake for few seconds dummie goes in and he is off. in morning feeds every hour.

[mountain mummy]

Squidipa - my lot could be quiet, playing outside. whatever, but as soon as I'm on the phone, they play up, make noise, fight - it's like they have a radar for the phone!!
Hope your appt goes well tomorrow And yeah, it was me talking about the antibiotics ... I think they tend to be a bit harsh on baby's stomachs, but if they're helping you, surely they'd be helping bubs too!

I tell ya, it just breaks my heart to hear the pain in Veygas's cries - he's finding it hard to shift wind at the moment (either end!), so really struggles which gets him upset. The doctor who we have to see didn't have any available appts at westmead til the end of october, so we have to go through his private practice at wahroonga ... I didn't want Veygas to have to wait 8 weeks to have this seen to!

Sasha - i'm lucky if the nappies even make it out of the box these days!!! I think with your first, you're so organised etc, for me, it's easier to just chuck the ox or packet into their rooms and deal with it that way ... I have my change table in the room, but it ends up being used for everything BUT changing!! LOL!

Kel, with the dummy, I just hold it in his mouth til he starts sucking - I don't use it that much cause he doesn't like it, but sometimes it's absolutely necessary (like when you're halfway through the shopping with a just about full trolley and you can't stop to feed and all you want to do is get the shopping finished and get home!) (or when you really need to eat dinner cause you're absolutely starving and about to pass out from hunger!)

[squidipa]

MM have you tried gripe water i never have tried it, But ive heard of a lot of recommendations for it. Its ment to help with wind and bought from woolworths coles. I am sorry for veygas's pains and aches and for you and hubbie having to watch that BIG HUGGLES
Josiah is up again that wasnt very long i cant tell ya that.

[thepixie]

all!
Still have this filthy filthy filthy cold, so just laying around on the couch today - DD has been asleep in her rocker for most of the day too. I'm just praying she doesn't get it because it's utterly horrible. The Bear has gone to see some people from the food markets and help them butcher a pig (only the Bear!) so it is just us.
kel, beth has one of those bonds suits, it is a bit of a pain to get on and off but its worth it cause she looks so cute in it! Usually I just put her in a t-shirt and pants cause it's easier to take the pants off to change her a dozen times a day!
I hear ya on the boobies - I've got shocking strippers' cramp and my maternity bras are 14DD and before I was pregnant I was a 12B!
kiwigirl - cute pic!
to MM and squidipa - hope all goes well with the paed and the little ops your boys need.
melski *mwah* good to see you back
to everyone else, I am going to try to eat something while DD is snoozing and then get back on the couch!

[squidipa]

we use bonds wonder suits here,
grrr the 3 year old just deliberately woke josh up nudging his foot with a box. before that he wake him by grabbing his feet while i was feeding him. Its all attention i know but grrr. He needs to learn it's not all about him anymore. he has to share Me Poor josh hasn't slept for even 1 hour solid all day.

[*Beema*]

Long day no sleep, except for 30min in the carrier, 20min in my friends arms and 20min in the pram... I broke and have tried the dummy, she can't hole the round one and it is a very small dummy, she can hold onto the NUK one same teat as the bottle, but she can't hold it for long - her sucking and holding isn't so great!! I am a bit dissappointed that we have gone the path, but it did provide her relief after feeding, also after the Colic relief and stomach calm.

Last feed was 6pm, finished at 6:50pm, so looked asleep, put her down and it is 7:38pm and she is talking to her self wide awake in her pram, no dummy she will eventually fall asleep and at least she is not crying atm.

Just finished cooking a Chicken and Leek Pie - yummo, all fresh ingredients, even grated the nutmeg!!! I reckon you might be proud The Bear!!! Last night I cooked a Chicken, Asparagus and Leek Risotto, same all market fresh, except for the chicken stock... hmm must learn how to make a good stock!!! Any tips anyone?

Hope you get rid of that cold shortly The Pixie, I couldn't imagine being sick right now!!

I have bought some Gripe Water, was going to try it, but not sure when.. before, during or after a feed??? Has anyone used it before?

Don't stress Mel, when ever you get a chance!!

How cute is Eli in his Fuzzbunz, DH said the nappy looks huge I said if we try to put the MCN's on Nakita at the moment they will look a lot bigger than that!!

On the discussion of Boobies - mine are huge, they did get out to a 12F, but have settled back to a 12E ATM, I want my 12DD back... please!! I feel like I am all boob!!

Hooray for the Jeans Kel and Rachel - it feels great hey!!!

Yay for then sleep Sasha!! I would be thrilled to get a good block atm... we will see what tonight brings!!

MM huge for you hun, give Veygas a big cuddle for me

Yay for the parcels Squidipa -just like christmas hey!!

Hope Jazz is still letting you have more sleep Leasha!!

Nakita has bags under her eyes she is soo tired!!

Must run pie is due to come out of the oven any second now!!

[Arimeh]

MM - I'm sorry that V isn't well - squishy warm hugs to both of you (squishy cos I'm pudgy)

Squidipa - that doc sounded like crap. How's your belly now? I had belly pain and it was a uterine infection, so be careful honey!!! Oh and my belly hangs over my scar too...pmsl.. its soooo very attractive having to lift it up so I can make sure my scar is dry after a shower!!!! lol

Kiwigirl - I lurveee to shot of Eli!!! I haven't tried that brand of cloth but it looks cool!!! I'll have to take more of M and A with their cloth on!!!

Vic - will send nappies soon honey.. gotta get my arse into gear. N sounds like she is going great guns!!!!

(btw, sorry for abbrev. names - typing with one hand whilst balancing bottle against boob feeding M)

Leasha - hope things are going well - love the lopsided boobs comment... lol.. are you coming to the meet up on Wed?

Hello to Pixie & Bear! Love you guys *mwah*
Had a good night here last night - she fed at 8.00 over at in-laws (was DH's b'day yeaterday) and then we got home at 9.30, she screamed till 10.00 (and I couldn't find a blasted dummy - I only have 6 for her!!) and then she let us sleep till 4am then all of us were up at 6.40!! I feel normal today!!!

A is getting his molars i think was awfully whingy this morning wgen mum popped in for a visit, so doped him up with lots of drugs

Done most of my housework and finally got a chance to pop on!!! My god, never get time to scratch my butt these days!!!
