Babies Born August 1st ~ 15th 2009 #2

MegsMum - So frustrating about your car. It always happens at the wrong time, although I'm not sure there is ever a right time You know the airfares were awesomely cheap but rediculously expensive.

Misty - How did the Christmas Party go? Hope your spacebar returns soon. You did well to post earlier! Goodluck with needles.

Cheezel Monster - I think half the fun is wrapping and unwrapping although finding time is a bit hard of late. How quickly we forget how small they are hey. A friend here has just returned with her baby who is 2.5kg the same as DD was born and I didn't want to hold her cos she was too small YAAAY for weight gain

Willow Wow for the teeth, great that there wasn't too much grizzling. I'm planning on getting a bumbo for DD so I hope that she likes it as I have no one to borrow one from first.

Saffi - Woohoo on the checkup weigh/measure. I've been buying toys for DD only because she didn't have any and I even decided to give her one last week and she loves it.

Trish - Hope you're all feeling better soon. So hard when little ones are sick especially when you are too. Want to take her to osteo or chiro but it is so hard living here.

mad4e - sorry no lip biting here.

startchild - No AF yet but think it's not far off. A few in my mums group have got it back already.

AFU: The physio called today and said if we could be there in 5mins she would see DD. We made it Good news is she isn't worried about torticollis but thinks helmet treatment is what DD needs so we'll see the Paed on Thursday. I have been fine with the idea until today when I got a bit upset while googling images of bubs with helmets. But I know that it is best to do this now when she will have no memory of people staring.

The teething necklace has worked amazing, seriously I can't believe it. I thought it was a bit wishy washy but I have my happy girl back. No tanties. She is constantly gnawing on her fists, dribbling and has had green frothy explosive poos. Some other mums have told me these are common while teething. She's not unwell so I'm not concerned.

Enjoy your week, MIss Z and I are off on the plane tomorrow and return Friday night. Yaaay some civilisation, shops, food and I can get a santa photo!!!!

Yay new thread!

Ellee - Bummer about the helmet but at least she'll have no memory of it and its best to sort these things out while they are still little. My DD1 was in a harness for her hips and while it was not fun, I'm glad it was when she was only a little thing KWIM? Good luck with the paed visit.

misty - LOL at your space bar! Hope all goes well with the needles.

Cheezel - You know your DS will have more fun with the wrapping paper than he will with the toys LOL but it is fun getting it all ready for them isn't it?

Willow - Yay for your little man and his teeth! I think we are not too far off now either E had my finger in her mouth last night and I could feel the 2 bottom ones there and there is 2 little lumps when you look as well.

Saffi - Its hard to decide what to buy for a bub when you already have a little one isn't it? We have wall to wall toys in this house from DD1 and I don't really want to buy heaps more and have to fit them in, but on the other hand I don't want E to only have scungy toys either! So we've just got a few little things for E that hopefully she will like to play with, and rellies will buy her heaps too Glad your checkup went well!

Trish - Sorry to hear you are all sick hope you're better soon. Yeah its awful having to wake them to do the school pickup isn't it? Don't like it either, but today is our last day for the year!

mad4e - No lip biting here either

star child - No AF here yet, I didn't get it back with DD1 until she was 14 months old either, but we also had troubles conceiving after that so it probably doesn't help you a lot LOL

Hi to anyone I've missed with the thread changeover and thanks tk for the list

AFU, going good this week. Got the car back yay and probably going to sell it early next year - damn my and DH's honesty, we agreed we couldn't sell it without fixing it I weighed E finally on the weekend and she is 6.1kg - has put on nearly 600g this month the little guts LOL And we are off for our next lot of needles next Mon, poor little thing she hated the last lot so won't be much fun. But doing well otherwise, still having the occasional spew but hopefully that will stop sometime soon.

Hiya guys,
Lost track of the old thread and have been MIA trying to deal with some nasty nappy rash
We'd just solved the night nappy chaffing problem (BBH bamboo rocks!) when a nappy left on way too long during a mega-nap on a hot day wreaked havoc with Orla's bottom Just coming right now....
Ellee (or anyone in the know) what's the deal with the amber necklace? How's it supposed to work and does it matter what type of amber (I have a bracelet of amber pieces already)???

[misty]

Hello everyone. I have kinda got the spacebar working again (it's being temprmental). DS1 pulled all the keys off the keyboard on my laptop, some of them were fixable, some cannot be be fixed. I am going to have to dig out another keyboard to plug into the laptop to use. Until then my posts will likely be brief.

The kids loved the chrissy party - there was a pool and a jumping castle and alot of junk food and about 20-30kids (all young and all cousins or 2nd cousins). DH had fun too. I think I must be turning into one of those grumpy sour women, because there was no reason I shouldn't have had fun too, But I just wanted to go home and relax by myself - maybe read a book. It was a really good party, not drama's, good company, no stress and I just wanted to be a hermit....sad really. I used to be so social.

Christmas carols with the kids tonight, and vaccinations in the morning. and then family dinners and neighbourhood christmas parties and night out for DH and myself, busy busy busy, until after christmas.

Have finally gotten around to organising Baz's baptism - will be at the end of february.

Starchild - nope no AF here yet.

Mad4e - Yep sounds like they're doing the same thing!! DS has started teething (I can feel one now!!) so maybe that is why.

I'm sorry but must go!! It's 39 degrees here today & DS is VERY unsettled

[misty]

quiet in here. I hope you are all busy doing fun christmas things.

DH and I are going to the movies tonight. Which means mum is going to babysitt all of my kids. I am a little nervy over leaving Baz. He is such an easy happy baby, but I am a little worried because he won't take a bottle - at least not for me or DH. But it is only 3hrs, and I will give him a good feed before I leave. Plus I will leave some expressed milk (do you think 120mls is enough? Or should I express more? I wasn't sure) and some babyjuice and a sachet of formula (if mum gets really desperate - but I know he HATES the formula) and she can put some fruit in his teething bag. Hopefully that will do.

I have never left any of my other babies so young. Angelica was refluxy and unsettled and couldn't be left with anyone else until about a year old. Nathaniel was reasonably happy but would not take milk at all, unless from a boob, so mum only babysat him for short periods until he was 14mths and weaned himself from the boob.

I am sure it wil all be fine and I am worried about nothing. He probably won't even want a feed when he's there.

[Saffi]

misty - if you're concerned I'd express a little more. I'm sure he'll be fine,if not I'm sure your mum will call. Relax and enjoy your well deserved night out! Sounds like you have been really busy.

Not much happening here. M is growing so much. My SIL had a baby boy yesterday, Levi. There's only 4 months between my bub and hers so they'll grow up together.

Christmas preps well underway. Only having a quiet lunch at home with ILs and a couple and their kids, so it should be nice.

Hope everyone is well.
