Mel - oooh exciting! Where will you move to?? And I used to love that song!! LOL!
Ponder away, I don't think you'll go cold turkey on us!
Rach - wow Eli sounds like he is doing really well! Veygas will sit for about 5 seconds before beginning to topple ... I think alot of things will be easier for him once he has carpet under him as opposed to tiles!!
ETA: Boom Crash Opera was the first live band I saw, in some seedy underground (literally) nightclub in the outer sydney suburbs!!!

Oh Kiwigirl - I feel for ya!! I was just logging on this morning to say "She's Back"Woke up this morning to a lovely surprise - NOT!! And I am in the same situation as you, still fully BF, no solids yet. But I was getting lots of sleep at night up until a couple of weeks ago and now I have two extra feeds!
oops, he's awake, gotta go feed

I feel like i have a newborn all over again!! feeding every 3 hours...for half an hour plus each time!! People telling me it either means she needs to start solids as she is hungry OR she is about to reach a big developmental milestone, so we will wait and see.
Hope everyone gets better sleep soon (tonight would be nice)
I have to admit to taking the easy option at night aswell, on the boob!!
Happy 5 months to those who turned!!

Hi All!!!
Been at work the last couple of days so working from home today, plus getting the house cleaned
Nakita has been waking at 2am, 4am, 6am... but just for a dummy or re-wrap or nappy changeSo here's hoping that they are all just going through a phase!!
We just bought a Baker's dozen of ittibitti's d'lish, after receiving one for christmas (MT) so I am very excited, but I have decided to layby them (on a tighter budget at the moment while the house is getting built... might pay it off early though as I can't wait for more fluffy bums) as we are paying both mortages! At least the scafolding is down so they can finish the downstairs roof, get the rest of the double glazing in etc
Massivefor MT an Rachel
Beckoes for the "newborn" hopefully she is just about to have a huge grwoth spurt or a development milestone is just around the corner!
Thanks Rachel, I can't believe she is past 6 months old!! Eli sounds like he is doing fabulously!!! How big is your little man now, he looks just gorgeous!!
Happy 5 months Jett and Jazz!!!!
Goodluck if you sell the house Mel!
Hope your probs with your MM are sorted out swiftly!! Yeah I am loving it that she is loving the vegies!!
ooo Gelati and a swim sounds fab Pixie, I hope it brought a smile to your face!!
Sorry, must run and get a few things done while little miss is asleep!! BBL

Rach, MT what a bummer about AF!I don't know about getting alot of sleep being the sole cause though, as with DS2, AF arrived when he was 7 months, after 7 months of consistent 3 hourly feeds day and night ... however I had been toppig up his last feed before bed with formula from about 4 months (in the vain hope that he would sleep through!
) but it didn't stop him!!
This time however, no top ups and for the most part sleeping through .... though suffering insomnia so not really sleeping alot anyway!!
Bec - sounds like a growth spurt to me - Veygas was like that last week and has just settled back into sleeping through again, although he is still having an extra day feed now compared to before!
big hi to everyone - Veygas is now trying to type and it's frustrating me! lol!
mwah! xxx
ETA: ok baby free now (lol) ... I have been finding that Veygas is only doing one poo during the night at the moment,only wet during the day, and this morning I was singing "night pooper" (to the tune of "Night fever")

Pixie and Bec - I'm also taking the path of least resistance and feeding in the night. I try the dummy first, at least to try and keep him calm while I sit up in bed!! But he just won't allow it in his mouth atm. I really do hope this calms down soon!!
Bec - I wouldn't imagine that it's her needing to start solids. Needs to increase her calorie intake - maybe, but they don't have to have solids for this. Just do do whatever you think is right. I personally am not going to start solids until the back end of 6 months and even then I am going to keep bf as his main intake of calories as per baby led solids. That is of course assuming that all is ok at his weigh-in next week, otherwise I will have to reassess!
Mel - Goodluck with selling the house. Any particular reason hmmmmm? Something to do with your little secret hmmmmmm?
MM - Ahhh moving. We've been in our house for almost 2 years now and we still have boxes under the house that we haven't unpacked, I hate it so much!! I couldn't imagine it with kids around to amuse at the same time!
Pixie for your grumps.
So as I was trying to say earlier, I woke up with AF, and then I didn't realise but we were up to poo day so Jett did an enormous stinky poo which was a bath job so that was the start of my day. And now the house smells like poo, and it is chilly here today so I can't open the house up. If it had have been yesterday on the other hand, when it was hot and I didn't have AF it would have been so much better!!!!
Oh well, end of vent.... things really aren't that bad, just felt like complaining!
ETA: MM

I feel so behind that its not even worth my efforts trying to keep up and do personals.
thanks for the link kiwigirl i appreciate it
Congrats to all the 5 month olds and 20 weeks and milestones.
official weigh in is 190 gram gain, so thats good we are happy. ALOT smaller than otehr weeks but still good. he has grown 3.5cm in 4 weeks making him 64cm's now. Putting him finally on the graph. he is at 25%ile in hight and weight YAY! We got referral regarding his purple legs and my period came. Josh loves his feet going side to side and eating them. Loves his sweet corn but is not keen on kumera. He isnt eating a lot VERY small amounts once daily but always takes the food out of my hand when holding him yesterday he tried to eat my ham sambo.
Things are hecktic here house is like everywhere in middle of orgainsing EVERYTHING and soon will be full house but im looking forward to that as the kids are GREAT helpers ive lost about 1 kilo and hubbie has lost about 4 in last week. Gotta scoot.
Dont really have a whole lot of time as i got a appointment for passport applications so sorta gotta scoot but thought maybe someone might want to know how he is getting on.
