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)???
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.
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.
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.
Misty - that's wonderful that you're getting to go out with your DH tonight, sooo jealous!! DS can't even handle being left with my DH let alone anyone else As for the EBM, I'd say 120ml would be enough if he needed a feed while you're gone. I've only given a bottle a few times & he's never taken anymore than 80ml. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to leave a little extra JIC.
Saffi - how nice your DD will have a little playmate to grow up with!! My sister had a baby 8 weeks after DS was born so they'll be nice & close too.
Really looking forward to xmas day!! We're doing my family this weekend & DH's family next weekend. So on the actual day it's just going to be our little family, nice & relaxing with just some party food DH has to work night shift which is one of the reasons I wanted to keep it quiet & simple.
DS is teething soooo bad!! I feel so sorry for him, hope a tooth comes up soon to put him out of his misery!! He keeps waking up sobbing
Heya - was going to apologise for being MIA but seems everyone is caught up in xmas preparations - very quiet in here!
Well I'm going to have a moan about being sick as the proverbial dog
Had viral gastro since friday - abdominal cramps and vomiting so bad I had to go to emergency for fluids and anti-cramping drugs. Might take up to 10 days to recover fully! I feel fine in the mornings then it starts up again in the arvo. I'm a walking skeleton with big boobs I do not recommend this as a form of post-baby weight loss!
DP has been such a gem looking after me and Orla - has redeemed himself for being a 'party-boy' the last few weeks
Thankfully xmas shopping was all finished (just waiting for one more item in the post - hope it makes it in time!) and we only have to bring desert to xmas lunch.
Anyway, I hope everyone else is feeling tip-top, in the holiday spirit and ready to enjoy their little one's first xmas...
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.

Glad your checkup went well!
