Babies Born August 2006 #7

Hello All :hello:

Where did everybody go?

Sarah how is William feeling now? I saw the chicks on the news going nuts over Stella's stuff. Un-real. I saw on The Catch up that heaps of it was being returned because the sizing is very generous. Guess most of them didn't try it on!
Kelly it took Trevor until Angus was 18mths to really get to thinking about another baby. I think it was because both SIL's were PG that he got clucky IYKWIM.
Dee how is Adrian and his toothie pegs?

I've had a rowdy few nights with Caleb waking at 2am. I thought we were getting teeth but I think he is hungry. Little monkey is just not into food!
Yesterday I got him to have some pear and farex. From spitting it out and sticking his toes on his mouth I'm not sure how much he swallowed. I had to tickle his chin to get him to giggle so I could get the spoon in his mouth, but he wised up and didn't co-operate after the third spoonful I got in :lol:
He's slept through though overnight and I've woken up with a damn headache and my bb's are like melons as they caught up with the overnight feeds after 3 days and now last nigh they weren't needed.

I'm still here!!!
William is all better. Thank goodness. While he was unwell we was waking in the night. So I would go and get him and put him in bed with us. I was a little worried he would never sleep through the night again, but last night he was back to his normal routine! HOORAY!!
He is getting pretty good at sitting up now, I only really do it on the bed as he still tends to lean back every now and then. They look so cute sitting up!!
Must go and get dressed while William is having his nap.

Sam~ Yay for having bib boobies, people pay good money for them:)

PMSL at watermelon BB's Sammi, you'd look like one of those playboy bunnis I imagine
hi ya eveyrone else
been very sick so be back later

He's slept through though overnight and I've woken up with a damn headache and my bb's are like melons as they caught up with the overnight feeds after 3 days and now last nigh they weren't needed.

Must be the night for it! Xander finally slept through after 3 weeks of 2-3 feeds per night. I was in agony this morning. I've got a headache too, so wonder if it is to do with the overfull bbs?

Sarah - The pets do get pricey don't they? I've gotta get one of my cats' teeth cleaned - not looking forward to that bill. Yaaaaay that William is feeling better!

Maz - I've got Xander forward facing now too.. he just got too long for the rearward as I only have a compact sized seat.

Sammi - Xander has now got two little toothy pegs. Hopefully that is it for now - I need some sleep.

Kmh - Awww, Charlotte sounds so tiny. I love petite little bubbas. I've got such a boofer head for a kid (gotta love him anyway)

Ahhh... someone is yelling for boobies.. bbl

Hi girls
As usual it is way too quiet in here, please come back!!
My little boy is getting so close to crawling. He is getting up on all fours and rocking. So scary!!!!

WTG William!!! Xander still isn't even sitting yet!

Sarah- I know its really quiet in here, Go William, Charlotte has been doing that as well, they are growing up so fast.

I got my pics back they are soooooo cute, they are on the girls website, on the link below if you want to see them:D

Kelly~ You're pics are fantastic! You must be really happy with them?

We will have to organize another meet up. I can come an meet you and Sam somewhere in Pakenham.

Sarah

Kelly those pics are just brilliant. Just too cute :D

Sarah is William off yet? Yep we do need to get together again for sure!

Anna I reccon the groggy head is from getting used to broken sleep. Xander will catch up soon, then you watch out! Once he works it out there will be no stopping him...

Maz hope you're feeling better today :pray:

ROFL on the big bb's comment! I know that they will shrink back to their usual tiny pikelet size once I stop b/f :cryinglaugh: I have to keep b/f till after my SIL's wedding in November so I've got a nice rack to put in the bridesmaids dress!

I wasn't about much because we had BIL and his family stay due to it being SIL's daughters first birthday. Not sure if anyone remembers from belly buddies but I had 2 nieces born within 2 weeks. Well now they are both 1!
Caleb really didn't take too well to having visitors stay in his house, but by Sunday he was ok and let his Aunty Sue pick him up from the cot when he woke up. I didn't know she had him so when I got up he was happily sitting on her lap sucking on a toast crust.

Sammi - Bet it was nice to have a little bit of a sleep in? I am so not looking forward to the bb shrinkage once I've finished BF'ing either... I finally fill an A cup properly! :lol:

Maz - How are you going?

Great pics Kelly!

Hi all! Well as per usual everyone is MIA.

William is spectacular as always. I can't believe I am 12weeks pregnant today!

Kelly~ GL at the mother and baby unit. I am sure they will have Charlotte's sleep sorted out in no time.

Wow at 12 weeks Sarah! LOL William is specatcular ;)

How you doing today Maz?

Anna Hi :D Thought I'd mention my brother lives in Perth. Can't remember what suburb (how slack is that lol) I never write him a letter now or anything so I don't have it, it's all phone and email lol!

Kelly hope all is well for you ATM

Well I think I will be spending less time here on BB and more time doing housework as my dear Caleb has now sorted out the crawling thing. I *have* to keep the floor clean now. Damn I so hate mopping :(
Little monkey was so proud of himself after he crawled from the lounge into the kitchen!
I put the cutest overalls on him yesterday and he totally spat it because they impeded his crawling abilities :lol: He grizzled till I took them off him and then he was all smiles. It was not long after that he crawled into the kitchen...

YAY Caleb for crawling!!! William still isn't crawling, he is just rolling his way around the house. Pretty funny to see! I hear you on the less BB more mopping. It sucks. Especially for me as working from home the hair gets everywhere. So it really needs done daily now he is rolling all over the house. Speaking of such I must go and do it now as William has just fallen asleep.

Hello All,

I got home from sleep school today and they have done wonders to my little girl. She is now putting her slef to sleep and sleeping through the night ( again). They gave us a routine to follow

We have been following this bed Charlotte has been having 2 long sleeps and as she wakes up around 8am. So we are down to 5 feeds in 24 hours.
The first time we put her down to sleep it took 1 hour to get her to sleep and it was heartbreaking to listen to her get angry and upset, and then the next day it took 30 mins. When we got home it took 10 mins, yay.


With the solids, I have been told she is just fussy and VERY stubborn, and to keep trying, Charlotte gets weighed in 2 weeks so we will see how she goes with her weight.

Sarah- thanks for the text messages, Charlotte is doing much better and we are happy to be at home.

Sammi- yay for caleb, Charlotte is still just getting up on her hands and knees.

sammi - i think you should attatch mop heads to calebs knees, then he'll do the floor for you in no time PMSL
some one (cant remember who) said that after 6 weeks of solids that a bub sleeps through....here's hoping.
Vy has discovered her feet and that by crawling over to the vid cabinet she can find wonderful things under it like DUST!!!! naughty girl making more work for me.
Hello eveyrone else, will endevore to be prompt in getting my butt in here, had a yucky week but it can only get better.
xxmaz

Hiya Kelly welcome back! Great results from the sleep school :clap: Hope she keeps up the good work! I've also got one that's stubborn with the solids. I know he's getting some as his nappies are whiffy but it's such an ordeal!
Maz ROFL I recall a kit kat ad a few years ago for that very thing! I think I'd very much like one of those ;)

Hi Sarah, Anna, dd, Dawn, Leah, and any one else I've forgotten. Come on in and say HI!

Caleb was awake at 4am so I brought him to bed for a feed and cuddle. He was just so darn wriggly that I took him back to his cot and he rolled onto his tummy and into a ball and settled straight away and slept till 9am. He's asleep now and has been for 2 hours. I think he's worn out from all this crawling lol!

Hope you all out there are having an excellent weekend!

ETA we put the level down on Calebs cot yesterday! My bubba is growing up :(

Hi everyone!!!

All is well here. William still isn't crawling. He does manage to do some strange move to go backwards though. So he is still managing to roll and wiggle his way around the house.
William has been a naughty boy and waking in the night. He has been doing this since he was sick. But it doesn't help that DH goes and gets him and puts him in bed with us!! Last night he woke up once about 130, I managed to get him back to sleep in his own bed thank goodness. Hopefully he will start sleeping through again soon.

Kelly~ How is Charlotte doing since being home from the mother/baby unit? Still being an angel??

Sam~ Is Caleb crawling around enough to build up an appetite for solids yet?

I hope you are all well.

Sarah

Sarah LOL at William! He's got DH under his little thumbs ;)
It could be teeth too waking him up. I *think* Calebs teeth are on the move...

He's still not too keen on food but I'm getting a bit into him. It's a battle though.
Last night he crawled from the front room up to Angus' bedroom which is the whole length of the house :o and he's pulling himself up to standing. His got a bruise on his head as last night he grabbed onto my leg in the kitchen to pull himself up and lost his balance and fell over :cry: I can't believe I wasn't quick enough to grab him.

Hi All

Charlotte is getting better at sleeping, she will normally wake once for her dummy and thats it, and last night it only took 15 mins for her to go to sleep. She likes routine, she is having 2 big sleeps during the day normally for about 2 hours at a time. On saturday night she was a monster as we were out until late so she was up all night. She is still not crawling, but is getting up on her hands and knees a whole lot more. She has also started to pull faces it is sooooo cute.
This morning I was getting dressed in front of her, and she was going crazy, so I sat down next to her and she jumped at me and tried to suck on my boob;s very funny, so i carn't get dressed in the same room as her now.

Sarah- How are you feeling? Getting any movement yet? I am going to chady today, I havn't been shopping in ages, Madison needs some new clothes.

Sammi- Solids is still a battle with us as well, I am lucky if I can get her to take 2 tspns, I have been told to leave it if she does not want it.

Kelly~ You should have let me know you were going to chaddy I would have met you there for sure!!! Did you get Madison some clothes. I am due a trip to DFO, I just might drag DH there this weekend.
No movement yet, only 13weeks. So I should feel it in the next few weeks. I am just hanging out to find out the sex. Although I am pretty positive that it is another boy.

Sam~ You must be chasing Caleb all over the house now!!! I am really in no hurry for William to get moving. It is bad enough with him rolling around and going backwards. I don't think he is too far away though he is always getting up on his knees and rocking. SCARY!!

William slept through the night last night! WooHoo!

Kelly LOL at Charlotte going in for the milk!
Sarah how does DH tolerate being dragged along shopping? Trevor despises it! Talk about whinge :lol:

Yup I am chasing Caleb all over the house. He likes to follow his brothers about...
I think he is teething. We had a shocker of a night lastnight. He wouldn't settle and was very uptight. He quietened down a bit after rubbing bonjela on his gums. I ended up taking him to bed and feeding him to sleep at 12. I woke up at 2:30 and put him in the cot and he grizzled but settled and is still asleep now. I'm debating whether I should wake him or not :dunno:

Sarah- I went to Chaddy, but I still can not find anything for Madison, though I did get her some tracksuit pants from Cotton On Kids, and a really cute top from Myer, I am going to drag Tim to DFo, prob tomorrow, as he has a day off.

Sam- I am starting to find Charlotte in some odd places, she is still getting up on her hands and knees, but she pushs backwards and gets places. Its cute to watch her move around.

Hi Girls

Not sure what I`ve been doing but I feel I`ve been busy hence my absence.

Maz - Hugs to you sweetie. How are you?

Sam - Yay for Caleb. Adrian has been trying his best for 2 weeks to move but all we seem to get is bunny hops but he`s so fast with rolling so who needs to crawl when your an expert at rolling.

Kelly - Glad to hear Charlottes sleeping is a little better hopefully now it will improve each night.

Adrian is doing well, as I said earlier still not crawling but is so fast at rolling, he`s eating very well and his sleeping has been better the last 3 nights. Better go as the man is crying.

Sarah - sounds like your DH and Jed are the same. Vy cant even cry with out Jed running. I absolutely HATE mondays. I refuse to pick Vy up all the time were jed loves nothing more than to hold her all the time.
All this talk of Chadie makes me so home sick...I use to live in Hastings years ago and I wish I lived closer some times, then I remember that all the inlaws live there and breath a sigh of relief. ROFL
Dee - im good matie thanks for asking. Adrioan sounds like he's finding his groove.
Kelly - glad Charlottes getting better with her sleep. Little steps make big bounds in the end. Happy thoughts.
Hello everyone else....were is Anna and Bel gone?
I suppose I better get my tea organised to be cooked when I get home. Parent teacher interview so I have to bath and give Vy her tea early. She's been trying to sit up the last 2 days and cracks it really bad when it doesnt work..she so DOESNT have my temper PMSL. IM hoping that She copies Caleb when they see each other. I keep counting down the sleeps to her and telling her she's gonna see her boyfriend soon. This time Sammi - we have to take pics.
Ok
later chicken

Maz- Where are you meeting with Sammi? Hastings is nice, Chady is ok, but I do love Southland, but I thought I would go there for a change.

Kell - IM going to Sammi house on saturday...give her a nudge ;)

Kelly and Sarah if you'd like to come over for a meet up at my place by all means please do. Sorry I meant to ask earlier in the week and it slipped my mind :doh:
I've also invited some of the nappy girls so I hope you don't mind a bit of obsessive cloth nappy talk ;)

Email me raven@bellybelly.com.au

What time on Sat? I am working some of the day.

We can always convert you Kelly and Sarah hehehehe
10am is the time

Too bad I'll be working. Oh well maybe next time.
Convert me to cloth HAHA!!! William did a huge poo while in his jolly jumper that ended up in his singlet and pj's and I couldn't stand the thought of cleaning it so I threw them all in the bin! Yes I am a shocker!

Sarah- OMG, It does not take much to clean up a little bit of poo.

Sammi- i may just come over, I will email you some stage today.

Maz- i use cloth sometimes, I do have to go and buy some more.

I got Charlotte weighed yesterday, and she LOST weight, she lost 55 grams in 10 days so we are back to being at 7.025 kgs. So now we are booked in to see a pead at the end of next month, and we have to go and get weighed next week again.
She did eat some breakfast today YAY, she ate 1/4 of a vita brit, mixed with water, better then nothing. I also have to go back to demand feeding Charlotte, when we were doing this she was gaining weight.

Kelly~ Obviously Charlotte just loves your boobies! I don't think you should stress about the solids too much. She will eat them when she is ready.

Sarah we are meeting from 10 so if you came a bit later it should be fine. LOL at you chucking out the poo stuff. DH did that once when Angus pooed in his pants when they were out at a car show. Cleaned him up, changed him and chucked the dirty stuff in the bin!

Kelly hope to see you. :hugs: hope Charlotte puts some weight on from the demand feeding. Will this mess up your good sleeping routine now?

Sammi- It has not messed up our routine, she is still sleeping great at the moment. I will come tomorrow, but I will be late, as I want Charlotte to go down for a sleep in the morning. I will email you now.

OMG Sarah at your throwing the pooed clothes out.

Kelly - Hugs to you, so sorry to hear Charlotte has lost weight.

Maz - Glad to here your doing okay. How did the parent teacher interview go?

Had one of those mornings here with the boys, Matthew`s body clock is out of whack since DLS ended so he`s very tired and was giving Adrian a hard time this morning, he also is going through a phase of screaming at Adrian so Adrian crys, it can get quite frustrating especially when a 22 month old does not listen to you!!!!!

I`m still waiting for AF (did I mention she was late), we had a couple of accidents with condoms this month, one was a major accident and it was totally lost LOL So here I am waiting, waiting, waiting, she`s now 6 days late I just wish she`d hurry up and arrive so I know where I am.

Phone`s ringing BBL

Dee- OMG, have you done a pregnancy test, just to be sure? I know what it is like for a toddler not to listen, Madison has this new thing where she says : Madison says no. She has become a little bugger lately.

Kelly I've emailed you :)

Dee OMG I've had to do the condom retrieval before. Such a passion killer...

I think I'm Oing today. Been sus for a few days that it was happening but I've got that old familiar O pain. Lucky for me my back is too sore to DTD ATM ;)

Sammi- I have not got the email from you, My email address is kmareehowell@hotmial.com,

Odd Kelly! I've sent another one now :)

I am spewin I am working tomorrow. I won't finish until the arvo so I will have to wait for the next meet up.
