Misty - sorry to hear about your FIL's passing. Megan - woohoo on Emily's sleeping through.
Hello to everyone else.
Immi had her vax yesterday. She's still not over the cough but as she doesn't have a temp the Dr was happy to give it to her. She looked like she enjoyed the oral Rotavirus medicine and none of it was spat out. Of course there were screams with the injections She's running a bit of a temp at the moment but seems to be sleeping and feeding ok.
Day at home today. Yesterday was so busy with Dr 's appointments (hers and mine) and shopping for DS's party (tomorrow). It was DS's birthday yesterday so we made a birthday cake for him which was nice. Anyway, looking forward to a rest as my back is so so with all the getting in and out of the car and walking.
Hey all. Not much happening here, just plodding along. DS is doing well. Such a happy and content little guy
Has anyone noticed their bub is now able to handle a bit more awake time? DS can be happily awake for up to 1.5 hours some times now.
He is sleeping pretty well, great during the day and still waking usually twice overnight. I have managed to resettle him the last two nights at the first wake up and then feed him at the second. If I can manage to get him waking only once I will be stoked, but am perfectly happy to go with what he needs at this stage, he is still so young.
We have his follow up u/sounds at the Children's Hospital next week for his head and hips. Am trying not to think about it too much at this stage
It is DH's bday tomorrow then our big boy turns 2 on Sunday so a busy weekend ahead.
Hello from stormy Melbourne! (must get a blimmin storm cover for the pram!)
Misty, condolences to your family - I hope transposing yourself to Singleton hasn't disrupted the kids too much.
MeganH - way to go on the sleeping thru I'm not too fussed waking a couple of times to feed Orla as we co-sleep but I'm currently trying to adjust her overnight sleep to commence at 8pm instead of 10. So far we've had a few 9pms and an 8.30 but that was the night after she was vaccinated so I don't think that counts.... When she hasn't gone down til 10 she's only had one feed break and one time that wasn't til 5am! (boy were my boobs sore!)
Saffi by 6-in-one vax I meant the Infanrix Hexa as it covers 6 diseases (including WC) - it's now a preservative-free formulation and they've removed the thiomersal which made a huge difference in my decision whether or not to go ahead with the vax. Orla screamed the house down when she got the needle but she was fine albeit very sleepy the next day.
Willow - all the best for the ultrasound - hope the results are reassuring for you
Gidday to everyone else!
Heylo,
It has been a while before i have updated everyone on here... So sorry I'm a tad slack :P very busy these days..
Well after weeks and weeks El being really bad with her reflux. We have found something that works We have stopped the Zantac, and she is now on "mirina reflux and colic drops' available at any good pharmacy and i am also expressing one feed (generally the night before) and thickening it and giving it to her in the avo...
And i tell you what, these two simple changes have just made the world of difference. She's sleeping sometimes from 10pm to 6am. other times she might wake up once or twice (but i done mind) she has sleeps during the day know and is generally ALOT happier! Which makes for a less stress ful mum!
El is just the cutest little girl! She loves it when i sit her on top of my knees and make funny sounds and faces she laughs aawy... A baby's first laugh is just the most cutest!!! She still doesn't like going to many people... But I don't mind :P
Aw I am just so much happier that i have a more settled and happier baby... It makes the world of difference!
Im a bit worried about next week tho, as Df is working Wednesday avo, thursday morning and avo shift and friday morning... so I have all four kids from Wed Morning to Fri avo by my self!!! AGHHH...
Anyways i must be off... I have an Assignment due on Monday and i havent really started much! I keep putting it off! or el would wake up as i start...
Cass - great that El is doing much better. I've heard good things about the marina mixture. Good luck for getting the assignment done. You really have a lot happening at the moment. Willow - hope everything goes well at the hospital.
Nothing much happening. Immi now weighs 5.7kg which I think is around the 64th percentile. Still not too good with her day sleeps. This morning she was up at 3am! took until 4.30am to settle and then up at 7am. No laughs here yet, but she smiles alot and there's heaps of cooing which is so cute.
