Hey All!!
Molly - We had a choc bunny for Jensen, tho it was just for show. Might see if I can upload some photos into the bellybelly photo section... Well, we were thinking about #2, but I decided the other day that I want to wait til Jensen is almost 3, so we can enjoy the baby time with him. Friends of mine have just had their 2nd babies, and my sister is pg too, and I'm clucky - but remember the nightmare colic that Jensen had and it's just too recent. So, it's been put off til 2010 - dh says if I'm lucky. hahaI did try the Blessed Thistle, and does seem to work. I haven't been taking it 3 times a day, like it says - only when I remember, but have been doing that for about a week and have only had to feed a bedtime formula feed once in that time.
He still fights and fights, but he eventually gets what he needs.
Telling Jensen no at biting me doesn't workHe just looks at me with a blank expression then comes out with a huge grin. I hold back as long as I can but end up having look away as it's infectious! It doesn't happen often, so I'll try again
Kim and Molly - I discuss a lot of issues with my MIL, like finances. Then again, we rent their house! Things might change on that front, but they are having the same money troubles as us, so its not so bad, i guess. Is a bit rude when they just want to know for the sake of knowing tho.
Ali - CONGRATS on DH's job! Being closer to your parents will make it easier on you too (if you wanted - iykwim) Woo hoo on the Cloth Nappies! They're great, aren't they? The downsides are the dirty ones, but I actually enjoy him wearing them (too cute!), cleaning and hanging them on my clothes line. Are you using the fitted type ones or just the terry squares?
Kim - How did the shopping go? OMG about your DH. Maybe organise something with your parents first ? As soon as we plan something it goes on the calendar on the fridge, as my DH seems to always be in there! When I read your post the other night re: wriggly wire... I had no idea what you were on about. When I re-read it then, it make perfect sense! I haven't shown Jensen one of those yet, coz he doesn't sit still long enough anymore. Re: dh's "no-one told me". Makes you wonder who he thinks told you! DH's excuse to me is you're better at this stuff than I am.... as if I've have x amount of kids and am totally experienced and in control. pfff. Have just as much an idea as he does sometimes.
Sara - I thought my dh would palm Jensen off to his mother, but he does well enough, although when push comes to shove, he'll put a 'sposie on instead of a clothie. Where do you get the Fenugreek tablets? I looked everywhere and all I could get was Fenugreek Tea. It sorta did/sorta didn't work - really a waste of time.
Sonia - My house is constantly messy. There's just far too much mess to be picking up every night. I hate mess and couldn't deal with mess and a newborn (all those months ago!) and was doing all myself. I finally burnt out and decided that i should enjoy time with Jens while I can. Ppl understand what having a child is like, so I'm not too fussed. The place isn't overly messy, but enough to notice. hth. Congrats on the walking. I have to get out!
Wow, this is huge already, so I'll be quick. On Wednesday, he'd put on a nice 435g in a fortnight, so we're all v pleased. So Jensen is 7520g, 67cm and slowly making his way into '0' sized clothing. He is into EVERYTHING atm, but the things that seem to be the most interesting are the ones in behind doors(ie: the tv unit doors that you can't see thru - he worked out how to open them) and anything thats on a table. Toys on the floor are yesterdays news. Prefers to be at the safety gate, pulling himself forward and backwards, calling out down the hallway to no-body. He pulls himself up on things and just in the last week, has started letting go while standing up. Hasn't quite worked out moving from furniture to furniture, but can move along the one he's standing at. Health nurse seems to think he'll be walking by 8mth, mil agrees. However thats only 2wks away and if he's going to walk early, imo it will be before 9mths, not 8. Does anyone have any tips on getting him to self settle at home? At MIL, put him in his portacot when he's tired enough and he does it himself...
Work is giving me the stuff around atm. It's not something that I should talk about in this thread, so I'll post it somewhere else... look out for it!
Dh's Nan passed away this morning so this has taken my mind off that sorta thing for now. Thank you for listening. Hope all is well.
Ren and Jens
