Thanks for your comments re: my DH expectations! I passed a few of them on and he has been much better.
Sorry for no personals. My Pop passed away this morning so Miss Z and I are flying down to perth and across to Brisbane on our own on Friday eeeiik. I knew it was on the cards, but it doesn't make it any easier. I thought he had bit longer than that and I planned on taking her to meet the grandparents after my sis has her baby in 4 wks. Just wish she had of got to meet and have a photo with him
On a positive my proud Dad gets to finally hold his grand daughter. She was in neo nates and could only look through the window when he flew over to see us for a few days. (I'm a daddy's girl so that means the world to me).
Miss Z has been sooo unsettled. She screamed non stop for a few hours the other day. Was quite distressing by the end of it. Hoping to take her to an osteopath while I'm over in the big smoke
Sorry this post is a bit selfish but just wanted to let you know I'm alive and not sure when I'll get back on here over the next few weeks but look forward to catching up with it all when home again.
Happy travels Ellee! Sorry it's for such a sad occasion.
Has anyone else's ticker stalled? I think mine got stuck a few days ago.....our kitchen clock ran out of battery yesterday and my whole day was out of whack - must be something in the stars.....
We've been borrowing a friends baby swing (battery powered with music and dangling toys) which has been a great device for allowing me a trip to the loo/shower without Orla stuck to me in the sling but she tires of it after about 15 mins (so no good for making dinner!) Luckily I didn't rush out and buy her one! Have to return it today tho Has anyone used one of those 'jumping joey' things you hang from the doorframe? I think that'd be more her thing since she LOVES to bounce - how young can they be to use them?????
I think she may be having the 6 week growth spurt at 8 weeks: feeding like a maniac and sleeping all arvo (unfortunately does not extend to sleeping all night!). I was hpoing to reduce my milk oversupply but somehow I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon....
Koru - I have a swing, I love it for DS2, It is a little portable one. I also have a Jolly jumper - haven't used it with DS2 yet - honestly, all of my babies have loved the JJ, but only for 15mins at a time and it is such pain getting them in and out of it, it often isn't worth it - they can usually be used from about three months, but it depends on bubs head control. I think I am going to sell mine - I no longer have a door frame to hang it in, and don't think I would use it enough to justify buying stand for it.
With DS1 I bought an activity center which was much better and easier - It is like a seat which bubs sits in like a walker only stationary. He spent ALOT of time in it, I need to clean it up so DS2 can use it.
Baz had his shots on monday. He is the same length as at six weeks and has only gained 300g since then, which is fine by me (so he is now 6.3kg). I couldn't find ny clean 00 clothes yesterday so I put him in a 0 wondersuit instead and it fit him.
Spent all day yesterday out at a play center with some other mums I have met through BB, it is so good to get out of the house - the weather hasn't been great here, so they are going a bit stir crazy lately.
Koru - I have borrowed a swing from a friend too. It is a god-send. Immi often naps in it andis actually asleep in it now. I also have one of those activity centres and would recommend it. I also have a Bumbo which will put Immi in once she has a bit more neck control. Ellee - good to hear that your DH is being more supportive. Misty - DS love playcentres. We are having DS's 2nd birthday party at one in a couple of weeks time. There will be around 10 kids so it will be chaos but hopefully a lot of fun. tk - most bubs don't like tummy time to begin with. I know a mum that did tummy time on the bed where she could actually be at face level with bub and not be lying on the floor. Another idea is to do TT in front of a mirror. salboo - its great to see them laugh and smile. We're not getting aby laughs yet but she is constantly smiling and cooing. Cass - good news that El is responding to the medication.
AFU - Immi is getting over her cough. I think I'll be able to get her vaccinated next week as planned. She now weighs 5.29kg so very pleased with how she is growing. She mostly wears 000 now.
My back is slowly getting better. Now I'm able to move around more freely I have heaps of housework to catch up on. Better get to it
Hi everyone, I was wondering if you'd mind if I joined you guys? I have a later August bub Alana (she was born on the 24th), but no-one really posts in the Aug 16-31st group and I'd love to talk baby talk with someone LOL. I am baby buddies with Saffi and Willow in the October '07 group so it's nice to see some familiar faces
Alana was born 2 hours after my birthday after a very quick and easy labour. I also have two boys - Joel (about to turn 5) and Kieran (about to turn 2) so life is very hectic atm! Alana is 7 1/2 weeks old and an absolute delight. She's very easy going and sleeps well, I can't complain at all.
I hope you all don't mind me crashing this group? I'd love to get to know you all! I can't promise I'll post frequently though, it's hard to find the time to sit down long enough right now!
