Babies Born August 1st ~ 15th 2008 #6

HAPPY 2009 EVERYONE!

It's gonna be a big one for all our bubs - they are going to hit so many milestones that are going to set them up for the rest of their life! Rolling, crawling, walking, talking, teeth, solids, omg the list goes on!! :dance:

Happy 5 months and 6 months to all the bubs who have hit their birthdays!

Got back from our camping trip late last night. Jett was great and seemed to enjoy it. This morning however he has not stopped crying and is being extremely clingy..... do we need to go camping more often?? We had fantastic weather and it was great to get out on the jet ski again. Haven't been able to use it since the summer before I was pregnant!!! Had to watch from the sidelines last year :(

I was going to write more but Jett has woken up and grizzling again.....:wall:

Mwah! to all

P.S I had another thought Mel - are you going on an overseas holiday??? A big trip?

just a random thought are u comming with us to NZ mel?????? lol

Hi all!

Sash - Veygas isn't rolling yet ... he still hates being on his stomach for more than a minute, and on his back, he rocks from side to side. He has started to arch his back so that he can turn his head to look at things behind him, but no rolling :dunno:

Veygas still isn't really interested in solids yet (no big rush I guess) but he is quite happy to chew on a rusk stick. He has been dreadfully clingy today and crying nearly non-stop :o His eczema has also flared up heaps - all over his face, arms and really badly behind his legs (despite having put cortisone cream on yesterday evening) .... the IL's were here (AGAIN :rolleyes:) yesterday and they both smoke like chimneys, and after doing some net surfing today, I'm wondering if their smoking residue has something to do with the flare up?? But they are so stubborn, they won't see that it's their actions doing this to their grandchild ...

MT - just realised that you posted your crying/clingy bit this morning ... hope Jett is better for you now! I finally got V to sleep about half an hour ago (no sleep all day since about 9am! He screamed blue murder every time I tried)

On another note, I am really peed off with our conveyancer, as she is on holidays till the 12th and all of our loan docs etc for settlement need to be sent by the 9th :angry: PLUS she KNEW she would be away til then and KNEW our settlement date and didn't say anything before christmas, so we have basically been left doing it ourselves ... I'll be glad when we have moved and it's all over cause I have been so stressed lately!

Anyways, that's my whinge for the day, big :hello: to everyone, hope you're all having a good weekend!

mwah! xxx

MM im so sorry about ya family and thier smoking and the impact on v, I can at leasts ay with one side of my family smoking heaps im glad im a state away. Can you maybe get some info and show them? If there anything like my folks they wont read or listen anyhow.

:hug: Pixie, hope she settles better for you tonight!

pixie good luck tonight i am sending you calm baby sleeping vibes!!!!!

Josh still wakes at around 2 and gets in bed with us for cuddles to feed at 4 or 5am, altho sometime times just sometimes hubbie has been able to egt him to sleep in cot for longer.

Lucky me the always sore lady i think i should be on a disabilie payment with all my crap now its the tendon/ligament at back of right ankle who would have guessed:wall: and yesterday i had a half a day with my right knee locking up. Cant wait to get to top of waiting list soon. altho with this pregnancy being over meaning josh, My knee is so not causing me as many problems. so :dance:

oh and also i had um sorta a no go period yes warning tmi comming up.... slightly brown mucus followed by 1 drip of blood and thats it all over as quick as it started.:rolleyes: that would make it about the 3rd time its happened now at around the 28 day time.
hubbie wants to watch 7 signs of Christs return me too :) so catch ay later xoxox

Hi!!! Sorry I have been MIA!!
2 Days ago I had writtena huge list of jobs I had to do and showed DH and he said "oh you have to add another thing to that list... pack you bags.... we are going to the farm.." me.... "yay yay yay" It had beena ges since we had gone to the farm, he had organised it a few weeks ago with my parents. It was fab to get out of the city we spent new years night at a local beach town which puts on a really good fireworks show and this years was awesome - my parents and friends of our all said it was the best in years :)
We got back late this arvo and I have been trying to finshi my job list that I never got to do, so I...

Fixed our irrigation system (had a break so i had to do a repair)
Done two laods of washing
Filled all our big waterbottles with rainwater
Took out the rubbish and the recycling
Watered the garden
Unpacked all of our stuff from the trip away
And more other bits and pieces! Now to spend some quality time with DH :)

I will be back to do personals maybe... later tonight but mroe likely tomorrow xxoo

oh thats wonderful vic glad to read you had such a great time :D everybody has gotta love fire works hey!

Sounds like everyone had a great christmas/ny....hope the lady that got burnt was ok...pixie! That pig sounded great though!!
Glad to hear we arnt the only ones with a crazy crying unsettled baby! Just as we got over the terrible day sleeps a few days ago and now the night sleeps have just gone to pot!!
Thursday and Friday night....Bed at 6pm, up 10.30 till 11.30 and again 2.30 till 4.30, up at 6am for the day
Last night...bed at 6pm, up 10.30 till 11.30. Up again 1.30 till 2.30 then again at 4am, tried to bring her in to our bed then for a feed and more sleep but she wasnt interested...wanted to play!! She has just gone back down now!
I wondered if it might be teething, or maybe she is hungry....does seem to be feeding alot more atm. But hearing everyone else say how they are having similar problems i guess its the age or just one of those things.

Hope everyone manages to have better days/nights today....luckily DH id off today so he can have her while i catch up on some sleep later!

Ok, time for breakfast and laundry!!

Bec - I was wondering about teething too, but he isn't excessively drooling or have red cheeks or toxic wees so if he is they are only annoying at the moment rather than cutting! I also thought maybe he is ready for the next level of feed and is trying to increase my supply. He woke up at 4am this morning and point blank refused the dummy. I can usually get it in at least once!! Then he fed from me both sides and we mostly feed from one side only, especially in the morning when my supply is at it's greatest. He then woke at 8 and did the same thing and complained when it was all gone. He also had a late feed last night at 11.30 which is out of routine too.

So we have gone from last feed somewhere between 9 and 10 and next feed between 7 and 8, to 11.30, 4 an then 8, all both sides!!! :o

now the night sleeps have just gone to pot!!

Same here too! K has been a bit unsettled at night too lately. Most nights he is in bed around 730 but yeah the past three nights I have had to resettle him at 8:30pm and 9:20pm - no word of a lie the EXACT same time for the past 4 nights :lol: He resettles quickly though, all I need to do is pick him up and hold him for about 5 minutes and he goes back to sleep, but yeah soooo strange why he is continuing to do it each night :dunno: Kye is 20 weeks today :dance: have been hoping it's a 'week' thing. Guess tonight I will find out hehe

Oh he tried PEAR last night for dinner and again this morning for breakfast - absolutely loves it!!

Anyways housework to do while he is sleeping!

thought maybe he is ready for the next level of feed and is trying to increase my supply.

same with us...feeding hezaps more than normal...maybe when my supply catches up with her hunger she might settle down abit. for the first time today she had her feed and still wanted more....was sucking and sucking and i knew there was nothing left!! was wingy and looked at me as if to say ''seconds please''!!!

Sasha: Do you see a health nurse or doc for K...did they suggest you start solids? ive not been to see a nurse. wondering if she might be ready to start trying solids but dont know if i should talk to someone about it first!?

I'm hearing ya on the feeding stuff as well MT, sash and beck... I kind of got the feeling it was more for comfort. I was trying to get her down to 4 hourly feeds, but that so wasn't happening and for a few days she struggled to get to 3. But now she is back to normal and my supply is up so I'm ready to explode :o and she's like "i'm fine" :rolleyes:

Hey all!

Yeah, we have been having early morning wake ups here ... Veygas usually goes down about 6 - 6.30pm and goes through til about 6am (:dance:) but lately, he has been waking at about 3.30-4am and feeding both sides!! :o I have tried putting him to bed later but it has made no difference :rolleyes: It must be an age thing! LOL!

He woke up this morning alot better mood and eczema wise, so it leads me even more to think it was the IL's residual smoking ... seriously, how hard is it to go for a few hours without a bloody cigarette?????? (As an ex-smoker, I can say, it's not that hard at all!) I really hate stubborn people!!

On another note, yesterday when the kids were playing. Khaemon was being extra ultra loud, and out of the blue, DP says "With the next one, can we tick the volume box?" :o NEXT ONE!?!?!?!?!?!!?! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! So I guess this means, even if we are not actively TTC, he won't be too put out if it does happen!! YAY!!!! I knew he'd come around! ;) LOL! He also made a comment about remembering their birthdates, and he said "And you want to confuse me with more?" hehehehe ... I think he realises that filling our lives with kids makes me happy!

Vic - so glad you had a great time away!

Squidipa - yep, they won't listen, they are too stubborn! And yeah, I hate the smell too - sometimes I wonder how I ever smoked myself!! It just makes me sick and I hate how the smell lingers long after they've gone ... every place we have lived, we have made the rule that NO-ONE smokes when they are visiting but it's like everyone thinks we are only joking (my brother also smokes) But the other day, I saw a plaque referring to "please enjoy our smoking area ... THE BACK DOOR!" and I figured I could modify that to "Please enjoy our smoking area - YOUR PLACE!" Especially when it affects not only Veygas with his eczema, but Kaliah and her asthma too ...

Sash - HAPPY 20 WEEKS KYE!!!!!!! :bluecheer:

Anyway, prolly should try and get some housework done while V is sleeping (seeing as DP has already started his 6 day work week)

Mwah to all! xxx

Hi!!

I have 5 minutes to do personals so here goes....

:grouphug: for everyone having the middle of the night wakeups!! We are still doing at late feed, at about 10:45pm, this is getting us through to N first stiring around 5:50am but not feeding until 7.15-8.30am depending on the day..

Thanks MM, it was fab to get out of the city :) But :angry: at your IL's, oo that would make me sooo angry!!! But woot for "getting the go ahead" :dance: sooo we should get everyone to ttc around the same time hehe!!!

Big "hug: to your friend that got burnt Pixie, it was terrible to read your news... wishing her a speedy recovery. (I do have to say I love the FB piggy photos!!)

I hope your supply catches up Beckoes, usually a couple of days for it to catch up, so keep going!!

Happy 20 weeks Kye!!! Time flies!! yay for the success with the solids :bluecheer:

MT ooo is Jett having a growth spurt?!?!?! Hungry little fella!! Glad to hear you all had a fab time camping!

Thanks Squidipa - yeah gotta love the fireworks!! And I guess I hope that AF returns for you soon... if you want it ;)

Sooooo Mel it's the new year, and new news??????

Ok well my 5 min is up and I hear N stiring so her feed is about to happen.

Love and Hugs to all xxoo

Another crappy night...up 10-11, 1.30-2.30, up at 5am! seems she cant go longer than 4 hours without a feed at night anymore. Had friends over last night and the night before so i havent been able to go to bed as early as id like.

And she has been down for ten mins and is awake again:wall::dunno::confused:

personals later. might be off line for a while the next few weeks: problem with our computer.

Morning everyone.....
Vic well done on getting your personals done so quick! And thanks for the wishes, it was horrible about our friend, she should be OK though, we will have to visit and see how she is getting on.
Beck we had a pretty bad night as well. For some reason she has decided that SHE WILL NOT GO TO BED at bedtime. I am starting to dread bedtime. last night I was having a nap and woke up at 7, gave her a bath, a feed (which usually puts her to sleep, but no) put her in bed, rocked her for half an hour, no not sleepy, in and out of her room rocking her when she cracked it, tried to feed her to sleep another two times without success. Finally she fell asleep in the PRAM, while I was rocking it with my foot like I do when we are out somewhere during the day. This was at 10.30pm so 3 hours after we started. I was beside myself. Then she woke at 4 for a feed. :wall: Sounds like everyone is going through this at the moment so wonder what it's all about. Just :pray: all these bubs pull their socks up and go back to normal.... today would be good!
sash yay for Kye being 20 weeks and loving his fruit. We gave DD some orange yesterday and she loved it (although I am sure I read somewhere you shouldn't give them citrus but I can't keep up with all the prohibitions :rolleyes:) and she loved it.
Have a great day all, and hoping those babies behave for you!
