Hi all,
Sara, crazy little midgets copying off each other again, I don;t know. I ended up handing him over to hiss dad, expressed a bottle and got right out of the picture. MIL bought tea around too which was good. He didn't go to sleep till 10pm (which is so not normal. Already had a bath I didn't really want hi having another. He just constantly wanted food 'cause he could smell me.
Neuri We are approaching 8 weeks, he didn't do this at the 6 week mark. Smiles will come soon.
Kristen congrats and welcome. You sound like you have one very healty little girl there. Xavier is 8 weeks on Friday and is only just wearing one or 2 00's mostly still 000's depending on brands.
Good to hear your both doing so well, :lol: I too feel like I always have a boob hanging in the breeze.
-
Evening ladies,
Ended up getting distracted with tea. Plus Colby wants to be glued to by boob from about 5pm until bedtime. Which mind you in half an hour early tonight at 8pm. I am waiting to hear her start crying at any minute now!!
Bec - Xav must've just been that little bit hungrier hey! Colby has her days like that too. How's he going tonight??
Kirsten - Good to hear from you hun. Congratulations on Lauren. She, like Colby, was a big bubba! Forgive me but i have forgotten...but you were booked for the c-sect??? Why were you in hospital 3 days prior?? Complications??? Can't wait to hear your birth story. We are'nt quite into OO's here. Still wearing some OOOO. Even though Colby is such a chubby bubba she is still quite small IYKWIM. Lauren seems to be growing like a champ! 5.8kg's already!. Last time we had Colby weighed she was 5.69kg's. That was a week ago. Our girls seem to be very close in measurements don't they! Colby was born 9lbs 7oz, 52cm and her HC was 35cm. I'd hate to think what Colby would've grown to had i been overdue!
Neuri - As Bec said, the smiles will come! They are worth waiting for!
Well we have had one chatty little girl here today. Colby and i went into town and i had to go and see my mum at her work. My mum works in a nursing home and i quite often take Briley in there for all the oldies to fuss over. So today i left Briley at home and took Colby. Well the oldies went ballistic! Aswell as mums workmates. I was quite proud to hear everyone say how beautiful she was. Makes you happy to know that you are'nt they only ones that think they are beautiful! :lol:
When Briley was first born we took her in aswell and mum showed one of the residents her. We were all standing there watching as this lady was pretty frail and she started crying. Ofcourse we all started getting watery eyed too. I think Briley being so young must have upset her. She was almost at the end of her life and here was this newborn at the start of hers. Was a touching moment to all of us.
Yeah so anyways...back to Colby. So yes, she has been a chatter box all day. Talking to all the old biddies at mums work. Then when we got home i put her down in her bassinette for a sleep and she was chatting away to herself. Ofcourse when i tried to get it on my camera the battery was flat! :wall:
Well don't think there is much else to report. I have made it to the end of this post and Colby is still asleep!! :dance: Might get an early night myself!
Before i forget....Has everyone posted their Birth Stories??? I love reading them and there is no new ones!!
Hope you are all well.
Night!

Hi Kirsten, good to see you back!
I had one of 'those' days today. I think that Bailey slept a whole hour and a half to two hours all day, and when she did sleep, it had to be on me. BUgger, but she sems to be sleeping quite well now.
We have a grinner here, and the smiles are adorable. Her cries and coos are definitley different and she is reaching out to touch toys around her too. We're still in 000, but then again Bailey is only 5 weeks. If she keeps putting on weight like she has been, she'll be in 00 in about 3 weeks. I must go through all of Ardyn's old clothes and work out what we have and what we need.
Nothing more to really tell. Ardyn is in daycare tomorrow, so hopefully mumma can get a bit of rest. Fingers crossed.
Hugs to you all.

Hello, my name is Claire and my son Cameron was born on 22nd August. Can I join your group???
I have posted the birth story in the birth stories bit.
Today we go and see the paediatrician to find out about his UTI he got at 2 weeks old. All the tests have come back clear so far so at least it is nothing too serious.
I have also done something stupid and lifted heavy thing yesterday and now have a small hole and a lot of pain in my C-section scar, so have to try and get in to see my obstetrician today!!
Looking forward to getting to know you all
Claire:D

Morning girls,
Claire - Ofcourse you can join us! Welcome and Congratulations on your little boy. Fingers crossed that all goes went well with the pead yesterday/today (the times on here are way out so i am not sure if you posted today today or lastnight!!). Ouch @ the scar! You really have to take it a bit easier!!
Kirst - Colby is already wearing some of Brileys old clothes. I was organised a long time ago and gave them to a friend her was expecting. She ended up having a boy so they came back to me. Luckily cause Colby turned out to a girl!!! I am still going through Briley's stuff now and keeping the good stuff. She grows so quick its not funny!
My little miss slept from 8pm to 5.30am. So she did'nt end up waking up afterall! I was naughty and did'nt go to bed to 9.45pm though! I really should've made an early night of it but i always get caught up surfing the forums!
Well not much planned today. Just have a few things to do around the house.
Hope you are all well.

Rhiannon, could it be colic or reflux during the day maybe? Have u spoken to ur CHN? Is he putting on weight ok? Maybe the CHN could weigh him b4 & after a daytime feed. They're there to help & u can ring them anytime u have a problem. Dont feel bad about asking for advice, being a parent can be very hard, esp with a 1st. Hope u get some answers soon.
Oh no Kirst, bet that would've broken ur heart hearing Ardyn say that. Hopefully some mummy & Ardyn alone time will bring her round quickly. ;)
Sara, it's like small red bumps like a rash and gets dry/flaky & angry red blotchy looking. It gets around her mouth/chin/nose/eyes.
Well GP said it's too soon to get allergy testing done for Holly as most dermatologists wont do them this young. They are scratch tests & so toddlers usually scream. I told her that it gets aggravated after certain foods but hard to pinpoint. She just said avoid the foods that appear to be causing a problem (think berries) & to keep using the prescribed Elidel cream (cortisone free) until it clears up no matter how long it takes & when/if it starts again, to use Elidel again & use sorbelene in between & only bath with soap free natural type products like sorbolene or natural instincts. I only use sorbolene on her anyhow. After stopping giving her the blackberry jam that MIL gave us, her face has cleared up more again. GP gave us another script for Elidel which she has to phone to get permission for so its subsidised (only subsidised for kids) & she told them it was peridontal (means around the mouth she said) dermatitis. So will see how we go, I was too scared to use the Elidel for long periods of time but GP said its fine. The day before I bought a 500ml bottle of Alpha Keri Oil to use in the bath as our other bottle is nearly run out, but I'm only using that on bub in the baby bath. Holly showers with me. So that ratio of milk & oil is that for a full-sized bath?
Hmm Sara that is weird, could it be that that period was already on its way (the lining was built up) b4 the mirena was inserted so u still ended up getting it?
Ali, I tried to ditch the nipple shield yesterday, but ended up getting few more blisters, Lanah's still not attaching correctly so back to the shield temporarily, might try again today.
Hi again Lisa. Hope everythings going well.
Rebecca, cluster feeding is perfectly normal the CHN told me when Holly started to do it. She said it's bubs way of getting in lots of the fatty milk to help fill bub up to prepare for a long sleep. Lanah does it too, I just keep putting her on til she seems satisfied, just takes a bit of getting used to to figure out how many feeds he/she wants b4 bed. It is a pain though coz its usually around dinner time.
Welcome & congrats Kirsten, bubs vary greatly in size, I wouldn't worry, so long as she's healthy, have a squiz at the growth charts in ur blue book. Holly was smaller than Lanah & so some of Holly's clothes dont fit Lanah. Lanah is in 000's at moment but some are getting bit small, depending on brand. The bonds wondersuits are small sizes & she's still wearing em at night but close to growing out of them. I have Holly & Lanah's weigh-ins in my www - Milestones.
Sara, why is it batteries always go flat when u really need em. I tried to get some cute shots of Holly the other day but battery went flat.
Welcome & congrats Claire. Oh no on ur c/s scar. I got told that there's 17 layers that are stitched so ur not going to do any serious damage but just do what u feel u can do, but dont overdo it. I drove both times around 2wks & this time started netball at 3wks, & was lifting Holly early too, but only coz my body felt like it could. Told obgyn bout netball & he said it was probably too early to do something like that but i said i used my judgement & felt good. Pretty sure I took it alot easier the 1st time. Recoveries vary person to person too. Hope its nothing serious.
-
Welcome Claire. Of course you can join us! CONGRATULATIONS on your bundle.
Well after yesterday when Bailey wouldn't sleep during the day, I have taken the step of moving her from her bassinet to her cot, and have used the same techniques to get her to sleep that we used with Ardyn - just silently patting her until she relaxes. No eye contact, no noise, nothing. It seems to have worked so far. Although I'm not too fussed about her not sleeping well during the day, as she's still sleeping well at night.
Oh! I spoke too soon. There she goes!
Off to do some more patting.........
-
Hi all,
Xav was much better yesterday. I think he's a little piggy, and I think i've worked him out. even when he's full he wants to keep eating and I think it's just to suck on something. so popped a dummy in last night and he fell asleep out like a light until 3.30 this morning. plus we are onto our second nap of the day today.
Krist you don't know how right you might be about being in 00's in 3 weeks. Xavier is starting to get into some 00's now.
Welcome claire
ok i'm typing one handed and have a bub hanging off my boob so thats it from me today

Hi all.
Today is not a good day. Permission to whinge?
It was the First Parents Group meeting today, the one that the MCHN organises, and I'd been really looking forward to it. I get so lonely here with just Laura Rose, even though she's the light of my life. I wanted to meet other adults and TALK and be friends with people...
Anyway, there were 15 or so other parents and babies, and we all sat in a big circle, and various babies started wailing (and stopped wailing, and were fed, and were changed, intermittently) and the MCHN talked to us about changes in our bodies/minds/emotions and then there was a bit of "free time", where we all chatted while babies kicked on the floor. It wasn't bad.
So why am I so unhappy?
Because I was the fattest person there, and because Laura Rose was the biggest baby there, and because I'd only made it into the shower and clothes half an hour before the meeting and was consequently really aware that my hair was wet and tied back. And because everyone else seemed to be slim and lovely and have makeup on. Even if some of them looked as though they hadn't slept for a year, I was still the least attractive person there. With the biggest baby. I have no idea why Laura's size is bugging me.
Oh well.
Tomorrow maybe things will be better.
What I really really want is just two hours completely to myself. Maybe to go to the gym or to have my hair cut. But I don't think that's ever going to happen.
End self pitying rant.
Anyone who wants to offer sympathy or, alternatively, to slap me with a wet fish and tell me to get a grip, will be happily listened to.

Hi Ladies and a warm welcome to all the newies.
Today, i felt like the worst mum ever. I sobbed over it too. Put Ela in her cot whilst we ate dinner and washed up. She was fine watching her mobile, playing and kicking around. Once finished doing the dishes i went in to her room to check on her and she was dozing off to sleep when i noticed she had thrown up and was lying in her mess. She had vomit all on one side of her face, her hair and the sheets. I felt so bad and began crying. Hubby got her ready for her bath whilst i sobbed. He said that she smiled at him, but how would i ever forgive myself for it?? I apologised to her at least a dozen times.
Kirsten- you got me all teary again. i know exactly how you feel. I would love to go and get my hair done but just don't have the motivation to do it. My mum keeps nagging me about my eyebrows and how they need a pluck, but why should i do it? I don't go out anywhere. I have made plans to get my roots done tomorrow (after 12 months, you can imagine the root length!) but i'm really waiting on how my mood is tomorrow. I too, admire other mums who have the energy and motivation to put on make up and dress up when they go out shopping but i am always last to get dressed when we go out anywhere so i don't bother as DH, Devrim and Ela are waiting in the car for me. I guess we need to snap out of it. Easy said then done. I am really afraid of getting PND again, so i try to think positive as i'll be returning back to work P/T in November and will then have to get dressed, pluck my eyebrows and put on lippy. Please stay positive and if need to go and see your GP. I know its hard being a first time mum but believe me it does get better. Some people may be pretty and slim, but its whats inside that counts. So what if Laura is a big baby? She is healthy isn't she?
Have to go now as Devrim is throwing a tantrum and hubby is yelling at him.
Hope you feel better Kirsten :hug:

Hi All!
Welcome newbies!
Neuri, I expressed till i could lift my arms without pain, sometimes 60, sometimes 10. My milk is now dry as have been supressing 4 a few days.
I would express n give her the bottle if I didn't have Sarah to think about too, but the nutritionist said she need the higher calorie formula so we have 2 put more scoops in than the tin says.
Rhianon, is Jensen still gaining weight? that is exactly what Em was doing b4 we ended up in here - yes still in hossy! I tried babylove nappies on Sarah n switched 2 huggies as soon as possible coz she leaked thru every single 1!
on to the exciting news... I got my fantastic double reversible pram yesterday! Its better than I thought it would b too! Em is now 4kg finally. she has put on a kg in just over a week! we should b home either sat or sun.
-
Evening girls,
Alison - Great to hear that Emma is doing well. The pram sounds cool! Where'd you get it from and how much?? I am so over mine. Its so heavy but i need it cause it has a toddler seat. It was only $170 at target!
Sehra - Ohh hun. Don't feel bad. Colby does this all the time. She always cries though when she has it caked all over her face. Esp because she sleeps on her stomach. You do sound like you need an hour or two to yourself. Is it possible?? Surely DH could watch Ela for a while. That was really nice of your DH though.
Kirsten - You have just had a baby honey! Its ok to look a little plain. I don't wear make-up unless i am going out on the town! Don't let other peoples images make you feel insecure about yourself. It takes time to get back to how we were before. As for Laura, a chubby baby is a healthy baby. Like i said to you, Colby and Laura are almost exact measurements. Try not too worry so much hun.
Shell - Briley's rash does'nt sound a serious. And yes i think those measurements are too a full bath. Not quite sure actually. I will tell you when i give it a go!
Well i am off to bed girls. Wanted to be in bed by 9pm but its 9.14pm!
Hope you are all well...
Ni night!
-
Sara, new my pram is worth $1200. I got it on Ebay 4 $300 including freight. not easy 2 find tho.
-
Hi Everybody!
Welcome to Lisa and her lil girl!
Bec - Jensen seems to cluster feed when he's hungry, mainly at the witching hour and its a madhouse. He's still carrying on during that time, but I find if we move around and distract him, when he does eventually go back on, he feeds well. Also, we've found the same thing at night - Andrew cuddles him coz of the mummy milk bus!
Neuri - Oh! with the colic. For now, we seem to have passed that! I think Ive narrowed it down to what might have caused it, or at least contributed. Salami (who could resist after 9mths?), Tea and softdrinks. When I express, I express til they feel empty, but with the size that they are, I doubt they're empty. I can get 120ml out of both. The more your body thinks bub is feeding, the more you will produce (apparently).
Ali - Wow at your pram! What a score!
Kirsten - Welcome back! Congrats on Laura! Jensen was 3820g (8lb 7oz) 52.5cm with a head circ of 35. It was a VB, and he was a week late (lucky me). Yesterday (tuesday) at our 5wk checkup, he was 4.9kg(starkers) 55cm head circ 37. He's growing well. 00's ! Wow! Every baby is unique. Despite saying that, a few of the other girls have said they're babys are there too, but Jensen seems to be in 000's, even some 0000's! Really depends on the brand. Don't worry about your size, or what you (or your baby) look like compared to others. You've just had a baby. Yes, so have those others, but everyone's unique. I feel totally insecure around other mothers, my size is an issue to me too, but my insecurity is that others will see that my nervousness (at everything!) and wonder what on earth possessed me to have a baby.
Sara - I've posted my birth story! If I ever remember any more, I'll be sure to add it.. I'm forever being reminded and remembering stuff ... Like I really procrastinated with making a music CD to play. On the way to the hospital, we were listening to 4kq (a classic hits [60's, 70's & 80's music] radio station here in brisbane - I'm sure they have the equivelent everywhere else). When we were finally taken to the delivery room, I got Andrew to see if the radio worked, it did and we listened to that through-out it all. It was some how relaxing/comforting listening to something other than what you would have chosen for a CD and what you heard your parents listening to (or if your older - you listened to) when you were a kid!
Kirst - Jensen had been having real trouble sleeping thru the day. After I posted that big post, he slept in the day the following days. Crazy lil monster must know what I'm thinking.
Claire - Welcome to you and Cameron! Hope things went well at the Paed! How's your injury?
Sehra & Kirsten (everyone really) - STAY POSITIVE!
Just gotta say... Wow at the 00's! The 000's I put Jensen in seem to be WAY too big! I thought 000's went to 3mths and 00's from 6. But, just thinking they also do say 000 up to 6kg, so yeah. ok I'll shut up now. Things have been going great here since my last post! I get really upset when he's upset and he's frustrating me no end. There's been no more colic episodes (fingers crossed) but he gets whingy and cries for no reason... He thinks he's hungry but wont eat. So I have to distract him, which for him is just leaving the bedroom or office and walking round the loungeroom or front verandah.. any change of scenery. Today I was ready to hand him over to just about anyone, but remembered at the dr today, I have 1kg to go to be back to pre-preg weight (I had lost that one, but alas, it found me again). So, we went for a walk. It was supposed to calm him and make him go to sleep, but instead he was enjoying it - like he was sight-seeing. He was good after that. He had his bath round 7. J&J baby bedtime bath - what a great thing! He has that, feeds and its right off to sleep! We're trying to get him to sleep in his own room, at least during the day, but he likes cuddling. Oh well, the older he gets the less he's gonna wanna do that so I better make the most of it. Tried tonight, for at least til we went to bed. We let the cats in and had to shut his door and that was the end of that. Came and cuddled with Andrew.
We had our 5-6wk checkup. Jensen's doing wonderfully. I got the dr to check my stitches (tear and episiotomy), and they're not fully healed. She's advised us not to dtd for a few more wks yet. I had to let her in on the fact that we've already done that, and was probably the reasont the stitches were the way they were. We must have just agigtated them. I don't think she was impressed. Baby brain kicked in and I forgot to say to her that I wasn't well. I'm losing my voice (and depending on the time of day - lost my voice) with a headache and incredibly sore throat - which doesn't help when you've practically gotta yell so someone can hear you. Also, Andrew came home with some bad news. His nan, who his parents were caring for - they live with her as live-in carers in her house while we live in theirs - now has to permanently live in a nursing home. Her infected heal wasn't healing and is now gangrenous. So... where do we go from here? Will have to discuss everything with Andrew's parents this weekend. :(
We're slowly making the transistion to cloth. The Babylove nappies were giving him a rash, so were sending them back for a refund - which'll be used to buy at least one (pff) cloth nappy. My Tax Return's in so I'm gonna go shopping with my sister and buy some clothes that make me look better (and coz she disgrees everytime with what i wear).
I can't think really right now. I'd better be off to bed, Jensen's due to wake up shortly for his middle of the night feed. Anything I've missed will have to wait!
Goodnight!
-
Morning girls,
Rhiannon - You sound like you feeling a lot better than your last post. And like your finally adjusting! Well done honey. Good on you for going out and shopping for youself. I hope you have a wonderful time with your sister. I'm so sorry to hear about Andrew's nanna. I dread the day when my nan gets that old that she can't take care of herself. Good on Andrew's parents for taking care of her. I will try and track down your Birth Story! I probably have read it, but like you i tend to forget things!!
Ali - OMG!!! Well it want to be made of gold for that much. Good on you for getting it for $300 though. Little bargain hunter you!
Well if you go from the day that Colby was born she is 8 weeks old today. Therefore she is due for her needles. But i have decided just to count her months on the 3'rd of every month rather than the fridays. Its just too confusing. I did'nt know wether to take her in today for her needles or next wednesday. I ended up deciding next week. What are you going to do Bec???
I can't believe almost 2 months has gone by already! Time just goes to quick these days. You can barely enjoy your kids as kids now! And we only get older!!! Scary thought! Oh well i think of it like this at the moment....the older i get now is the closer i get to having another baby! I'll probably have a different outlook once i'm all done in that department!!
Colby is still sleeping like an angel at night. Our morning feeds have been getting earlier though. She woke up for a feed at 4.30am thismorning and 5.30am yesterday morning. Don't know what the go is there. She is really starting to be a chatter box in the afternoons. Yesterday and the day before when Brent walked in the door from work, at that exact moment when she heard his voice, she would start calling out!! Like to get his attention from Briley or something. I thought that was beautiful!
Lastnight i was in the shower and Brent was about to pass Colby into me. He was crouching down to Briley and showing Colby to her. Then when he passed Colby up to me she made this sound that sounded EXACTLY like a laugh!!! She was in a position where i could'nt see her face properly so i could'nt tell if she had a smile on her face. We were like..."Did she just laugh?!?!?" I guess we'll never know!! Totally spun us out though!
Well we are heading into town today. Got a few errands to run. I am sending of the final documents for my application to UniSA for Midwifery. I really REALLY hope i get in. Its a very tough course to get into though. Not sure if i have told you guys previously but i am doing my Doula course at the moment. Got my first module yesterday!! So i finally well on my way!! I am feeling a lot of emotions about it all at the moment. Scared being one of them. I guess i am just worried if i will be confident enough to support a labouring woman!! I suppose most people probably have these feelings at first. I will adjust. Its my passion!
Anyways, better get going. Have 2 little girls to get ready before myself!
Hope you are all well.
BBL!

Hello again!
Thanks everyone- you're all right, I've just had a baby (who is gorgeous and the healthiest bub you ever did see) and need to go easy. And, if I am going to keep eating everything that wanders past, I should wander past the apples and tomatoes rather than the cheese. :)
I'm much happier this morning- Laura must have been tired, because I put her in her hammock at 10.30pm (awake, but showing tired signs) and didn't hear a peep out of her till 6.20am. Yay for a decent sleep! Yay I say!
Sara, Colby's pretty darn close to Laura, you're right! The little laugh you described made me smile- I've heard things from Laura that could nearly be a giggle, but I'm not sure yet. To answer your earlier question- I hadn't planned a caesar at all, but at the last checkup (4 days overdue by then) Dr Yeoh found that Laura had moved UP from the last appointment and he couldn't feel her head through an internal at all, so I was admitted for observation in case the waters broke and the cord prolapsed, an unfortunate thing if it happened. Three days later, she'd moved even further up (I think she was trying to be the first baby ever to leave through her mother's ribcage) and we gave up on the idea of her coming out the normal way and had a caesar. Oh, and during the op I could feel the 2nd surgeon pushing hard on my ribs (I was thinking "I'm not dead, why is he performing CPR?") and it turned out that Laura had STILL been trying to move up, and he'd been shoving her back down. :)
On another note, good luck with getting into the midwifery course-I really hope you make it, we could do with more midwives like you!
sconeonamission and kirst11, it's good to be back! scone, sorry to hear that the Babylove nappies were hurting your poor little boy's bot! Not good at all. :( I've had Laura in cloth from the beginning, aided by a nappy service. The first week I was washing everything, and then my auntie bought us the service for six weeks, and I was all gloomy that it was going to end... and then DH bought another 12 weeks. Without telling me he was going to. And I'd only made him scrape one bucketful of nappies!
Oh, and I'm so terribly sorry to hear of Andrew's Nan. I hope she'll be all right, and that the options presented won't be too grim. :hug:
Sehra, :hug: back to you. Thanks for the sympathy/empathy! It's an awful feeling, isn't it? And I hear you on the terrible guilt thing. The number of times I've castigated myself for being irritated that Laura is crying... I'm glad that Ela smiled at her daddy when he was giving her the bath though. Sounded as though you needed somebody to give *you* a nice bath, preferably with bubbles and a glass of champers. I've organised with my DH to have 2 hours on Saturday morning to myself, and I'm going to go to the gym! Still don't *want* to make the effort, but am forcing myself. It will be good, I am determined. Would you be able to organise something similar with your Mum/DH?
Hi Claire! Congratulations on your little boy! Do post the vital stats, I'm curious!
Hi to everyone else- I've been posting this with Laura on one bosom or the other and I *think* she's now going to sleep again, which is my signal to scamper out of the house (with her! I'm not leaving her behind, in case anyone was wondering ;)) and I'm heading to the shops to buy various birthday presents for various people.
Contrast with my last post, eh- I repeat, it's amazing what a good sleep can do! I don't even care that my hair is wet (again!) it'll dry, and if I'm smiling I'll look all right. And Laura's officially in the top 100th percentile for *every* measurement, which makes me grin. See, she really is a big girl!
Tee hee.
See you all later!
-
Kirsten - Glad you see that your feeling much MUCH better today. Its amazing what a good nights sleep can do for a mother with a newborn! And thanks so much for thinking that i'd be a great midwife. I really appreciate it. Cheeky little Laura obviously did'nt want to come out!!! Mummy was too comfortable on the inside!
Well i am meant to be in town but Briley decided she wanted to sleep much earlier today. Colby has'nt woken up yet either but i can hear her! I better go and have a shower before she wakes up properly!
BBL!
