Babies Born December 2005 #9

Hi Everyone Hope you are all doing well!!


I completely missed Leanne the other night due to visitors. I was not impressed :angry: I just dont understand why people constantly come over my house without calling first when they know Jasmine could be asleep or anything. Anyway I was glad to hear from her and catch up on her posts!


Sarajo OMG what gorgeous photos of Abby. Thankyou for sending them to me! Happy 5 months to Abby also! Its just gone so fast hasnt it.


Melly Sounds like Logan is having a hard time with his teeth. I wish Jasmines would all just come through at once. I think its so unfair that they have to suffer that pain too. I hope he is doing better and you are well also


Meg I hope sleep school can help you with Coco! Sounds like you are having a bit of a rough trot. :hug: to you and I hope everything gets better really soon


Tiggy How did you go at the chiropractor? Your ticker is SO CUTE! Im glad you loved bubsincharacter! Im so excited I cant wait to get Jasmines photos done and I will definitely show you when I get them!!


Beck I was thinking of you the other day... I hope I get this right... Was it you who had the business idea of putting wipes and all that in the parents rooms like the nappy machines? I swear you should do it. I was in the parents room the other day and this woman came in and her son had made a big mess and she said because she was only up the shops briefly she didnt bring anything with her. So lucky the nappy machine was there, mind you they looked like pretty crap nappys considering it was $2 for 2 but she had no wipes and she said "Why wont anyone put wipes in a machine like this. Maybe powder, disposable change mats and things we need" and it made me think of your idea. I think maybe you should contact the nappy dispenser machine people and see if they want in on it or something!!


Dani I hope your cousin is ok. Im very sorry to hear that happened.
With the teats. I use Avent bottles and in the past couple of weeks Ive only moved up to number 3's. To be honest I would have preferred there to be a 2.5 because on the 2's Jasmine seems to suck very hard as if not enough comes out, and on the 3's too much comes out! But with moving up to a follow-on formula... I was told its not really neccessary for atleast the first year. Only if they are not putting on weight or seem unsatisfied etc then change it at 6 months. I wont be changing to it just yet. Jasmine is perfectly happy and has more than enough weight LOL but maybe check with the MCHN if you do want to do it, but all in all its entirely up to you I think. Im also about to add you to my msn messenger and if I ever remember to sign in Im sure I will hopefully catch you on there too.

Ok Im sure Ive forgotten someone but Im soooooo freezing right now I will have to catch up later. Its pouring rain here and it must be 10 degrees or something. I miss last winter! Last winter I wasnt even cold at all. True its because I was incubating LOL but still it was nicer than this. Its just freezing!!


Goodnight everyone and I hope all of your little ones sleep well!

Love Abby's photos Sarajo!! So cute. You guys are the best at dressing her up and making her look so adorable!! I should do that more often!
Kate, good to hear from you, wondered what happened to you on sat night!!
After my girls pathetic 29 minute sleep this morn, she had two hours in the pram at the shops! I met a friend for lunch and had a look around. Ended up laybying a gorgeous jacket from Esprit. Winter will prob be over by the time i've paid it off!!
I went up to the blue mountains yesterday with my mum for the day, and only had a thin jumper on. I froze. Just saw on the news it snowed there after we left!! No wonder i was so cold!
Sleep vibes to all!! xoxxo

Hey ladies!

Had a nice day out and about with Maddy & my MIL. Went to Ipswich so Maddy caught up with her two cousins...they were so cute together! She didn't have a sleep today except for the 45min drive to Ipswich but she was happy until about 5:30pm.

She's now having a cry but Daddy is settling her in her sleeping bag so she goes off to sleep soon.

Im with Meg, Sarajo....AWESOME photos of Abby as a cheerleader! They are way too cute! hehehe Oh, and HAPPY 5th MONTH BIRTHDAY ABBY! Hope you're doing well Sara.

Meg...wow, that sounds really cold! Great to hear that Coco slept while you're at the shops. Why is it when they're out and about they're either sleeping like little angels or screaming up a tantrum? *rolls eyes*

Danni...I can't really talk as Maddy isn't really bottlefed, but on the occasion that I do up a formula bottle, I am now using the Avent '2' teats...I haven't got any of the '3' to try but she gags during my letdown so it's probably not Maddy. How is your cousin doing?

Kate...ya, it was me with that marketing idea. I have no idea how you go about the process...maybe I should look up some advising company or something? I feel like such a bimbo because I have no business acumen. *L* Sorry to hear your friends keep descending on your doorstep unannounced!

Well, I'm off to make DH a coffee in return for walking laps of the lounge room with Maddy to put her off to sleep. :) Nothing much planned for tomorrow....only heading over to my Dad's tomorrow night for a semi-quiet State-of-Origin party. :)

Have a fantastic night's sleep ladies! *sleep vibes to all babies*

Hi Ladies,
Hope you are all doing great. Not good news about my cousin he is brain dead:crying: , but the decision now is when to turn it off, being my Aunty & Uncles only child it is going to be the worst thing they would ever have to do. Sorry to start of so crappy.
I am doing okay, think it will really sink in when I go to see them; they are still not wanting any family or friends at the hospital.
Anyway on a better note, Jett loves his walker, I put him in it and he goes crazy. He has worked out how to turn this toy on and now he just does it over and over. Arrrhhh!!!!
I have done his web page it is; http://www.babiesonline.com/members/...p?be=j/jettboy
Password: jett
Meg – I am really feeling for you:hug: . I do know what it is like to run on no sleep and still try to function. You sound like you are doing a great job, especially seeing you have Tilly as well.
I was really, really questioning why I wanted to have a baby when the sleep thing was at it’s worse.
I really hope that the sleep school helps and I am positive that it will.
Jett used to wake every hour through the night for about two months and now he is great.
Everyone else I will do personals tomorrow when Jett is sleeping.
Sorry I am going to call it a night
Take Care

Oh Dani I am so sorry about your cousin! :hugs: I will keep your family in my prayers!

I love Jetts website! The pictures are adorable! He is so cute in his little car! Its nice to see you too, and put a face with a name! What a good looking family! ;)

Thank you all for the comments on the cheerleading pics! I need to put a couple on her website for all to see! We have so much fun dressing her up, she is my little baby doll!

MAN did I get some sleep last night! I went to bed at 11:00, got up at 5:00 (abby talkin) back to bed and up to pump at 6:30, back to bed and up to feed at 8:00, back to bed and up at 10:00!!! I am sooo lazy today! lol! I hope you all are getting a lot of rest as well!

Well, it is not MAddy's 5 month yet here, but by the time yall read this it will be, so :happybirthday: Maddy too!

You have NAPPY MACHINES?? We do not have them here in the US yet! What a wonderful idea to add wipes and lotion and stuff! Maybe even a dummy machine! Those could come in handy!!

KAte and Meg, it is so weird you al talking about the freezing weather! IT is sooo hot here! I cant even sit outside for an hour because it is sooooo hot! Summer is here for awhile! lol!

Sara, we don't really have nappy machines as such, just more of an idea that my DH & I wanted to do. We have little nappy dispensers like tampon/pad machine that gives you one option of nappy size and it's not even a brand name nappy.

Danni - I am SO sorry about your cousin, I'll be praying for your family and for a quick passing for him. :(

HAPPY 5th MONTH BIRTHDAY my darling Maddy girl! :)

Happy 5 months Maddy!!!!!!!!!!!
Dani, so sorry to hear about your cousin, my heart goes out to the poor parents, it must be hard for them to go on.
I love the pics Dani, it looks like Jett has lovely long eyelashes!! Coco is blessed with those too! (don't know who they came from though)!!
Good sleep Sarajo!! We did ok last night, 7pm-2.30am and then awake again at 5.30am, this is because of stupid paper delivery guy. He wakes her up all the time. im taking a complaint letter to my local newsagents today adn telling them to tell the delviery guy to SHUT UP!!! The old biddies get their papers delivered, and if this guy doesn't stop the noise, they will have to find someone else to deliver their papers!!
Enough whinging, gotta go and make tilly's lunch and put some washing on.
xoxo

Hello ladies!
Happy 5months Maddy!
I keep missing Logans months, I remember, but get side tracked and never tell him he's officially a month older LOL

sarajo, the pics of Abby on her website are adorable! Congrats on the good sleep!

Dani, so sorry to hear about your cousin :hug: I love Jett's website.. He's so cute. And what a good looking family you all are too..

Meg, Grr at the silly paper delivery guy :angry: Glad you had a better sleep last night though..

Thank you all for the ideas about Logan and his teething. I got him some teething rusks yesterday. They help a bit, but I gave him one while we were out and didn't have a bib so by the time we got home he and I were covered in soggy bits of rusk! Plus my dogs now think they're some kind of dog biscuit so they sit and watch him carefully when he has one. They'd never snatch it off him though, thankfully.

Yesterday was PND group, so the childcare ladies there were looking after Logan. I went to pick him up after and they said he'd been quiet and he has a fever. I felt so bad, he didn't seem sick when we left in the morning. So then I went to see about getting some idea to help him sleep more. She didn't want to push him since he was sick. He didn't even cry when I put him to bed, just lay there making babble noises and playing with his feet. The lady helped me get him to sleep for 2 hours, in the middle of the day! That rarely happens. So I think he felt a little better. He slept from 8:30pm last night until 6am this morning! :)
Sorry for rambling. Gotta go play with him, I think he's getting bored. Have a good day everyone

Awe I hope Logans fever is down! Love the new ticker!!!

5:30 paper delievery? I would be sooo mad!! Tell them they will have to buy coco baby ear plugs! lol!

American Idol is on, so I gotta go! :) Do you all get to watch that? Taylor Hicks is gonna win I think!

Sarajo, we haven't got American Idol this time. i LOVED it last year (soooo wanted Bo Bice to win though)!! We have Aussie Idol here, but Big Brother is on at the moment and our Ido l will be on in a few months.
We also had Biggest Loser at the beginning of this year, I LOVED it!! Just saw in a mag yesterday that gorgeous Fiona is now dating my old best friends brother!! He is a little stunner too, always was cute but too young for me!!
Going to have a cupper now. Im watchign the Great Escape (mine thing with Tracy Grimshaw) that I recorded the other night. Pretty boring, although quite amazing too.
xo

Hey ladies! Sorry I haven't been round much today but I probably won't be back again til tomorrow morning after the State of Origin.

Grrr....Maddy will not sleep today again. Daddy has been home from work sick today so she think's it's party time.

Have fun at your footy party Beck!! Hope Maddy sleeps for you. Little devil not sleeping today! Always the way when daddy is home, party time!
Tilly is just reading a book to Coco. Very cute, but coco is getting stroppy. There's only so many books she can read to her before Coco starts to lose the plot! (it is after 5pm, to be expected). Anyway, better get the bath ready.
Have a good sleep everyone. I dropped a letter to the newsagents this afternoon, lets hope the delivery guy is quite and doesn't want revenge adn get louder!!
xoxo

Hello Ladies,
Hope you are all doing very well. Thanks for all of you prayers and thoughts for my cousin and the family. He is still on life support and I guess that he will remain there until my Aunty and Uncle have the strength to turn it off. It is the only thing keeping him alive, he is not going to get better but it is going to be so hard for them.
Again thanks heaps, you are all a great bunch of Girlies…
Anyway want to hear something funny…. I went to the doctors to get my stiches taking out and guess what they are dissolvable.:cryinglaugh: What an idiot, no one told me that, they just said make an appointment in 10 days time.
Meg – I know what you mean about the paper, we get ours delivered and they throw it that hard that it hits the house with a thud. It makes the dogs bark and that wakes him up, one big circle.
Meg he has the longest lashes it is not funny. His dad has very long ones, I one put mascara on Ben’s and it looked like they were fake they were that long, no fair.
I am glad Coco has long lashes cause I only ever see boys with them so it is about time the correct sex got allocated them. Bless her.
Beck – Forgive me but is state of origin rugby? I am from Victoria and it is AFL town around here, Jett and I go for the Cats as we and they are from Geelong.
Happy Birthday Maddy.:happybirthday:
Sarajo – hope you liked Jett’s site, I loved checking out Abby’s she is such a cutie. Drop me an email when you up date it, I love looking at them all. We are all blessed to have such good-looking kids. Sarajo don’t worry about sleeping in we all have too, I am lucky if I get dressed before 12 noon everyday, Today I did and I felt great.
Mel – Jett never goes anywhere without a bib, it is a pain sometimes cause he has some really cute tops but they are always covered by bibs. I find that they have to be plastic backed cause he gets so wet from all of the drool.
I bet that if I let my dogs inside that they would steal Jett’s as well, they used to come into sleep but I got stick of vacing the hair up all of the time.
I love Logan’s new ticker, it is fantastic.
What a great sleep!!! Bet you were happy with that Mel. Have you been to a sleep clinic thing?
Tiff – Your babies are just so cute, it would be hard to get a shot of the two of them together as they both properly want to do their own thing.
What is bubsincharacter I have never heard of it??
Not sure if I mentioned before that I took Jett to the Chiropractor for his sleeping issues. We were having 2 sessions a week, it did help and he was out of alignment. They say that if caesarean babies don’t have a compressed spine because they are not pushed out.
How did it go??
Hope everyone else is doing great.
Take Care
Goodnight:bedtime:

Question :confused: How much and how often are your feeds? I feel like I give Abby a bottle after most peoples babies are already in bed! Her feeds go like this:

8:00 * 177.4 ml
11:00 * 118-177.4
2:00 * 118-177.4
5:00 * 118-177.4
8:00 * 118-177.4
10:30 * 118-177.4

Edited to add: Hey Dani! Abby has 5 bibs wherever she goes since she spits up and drools so much! For pictures its take the bib off ...click...hurry put it back on! lol! I'll have to add you to my email list to get all abbys new pics and videos! You have a good night sleep! Im just getting up! lol! :)

Sara, I have gotten frustrated keeping an eye on Logan's feeds, but most days every 3 - 4 hours day or night. Last night he did very well and didn't feed for about 10hours at night since he slept lol, and he's been a bit fussy today as well.. But usually he's waking up 3 or 4 times a night for a feed. So at least Abby isn't like him :D

Dani, I do try to keep bibs with me, but I've been a bit "low" lately so very muddle-headed. I was kicking myself that I had forgotten his bib. Felt like such a fool LOL. Oh well, I now make sure I always have a few bibs and changes of clothes in his bag for when we go out. But thank you for letting me know.
We went to a sleep clinic thing yesterday. Tonight is a bad night, he won't let me put him in his cot. I don't want to make him since he's still a little sick I think, so I'm gonna go give him a cuddle for a while.

Night

Hey Melly! I hope Logan sleeps well for you tonight! A little cuddle time cant hurt! Poor little thing, does he still have a fever?


Hey my sister just joined the November thread! She is "eddiesmom". Her name is Audra! I think she will like chatting with other November mummies! :)

hi guys.
Sarajo, I can't help, our feeds are all over the place!! I probably feed her once or twice in the night, then when I get up in morning (plus solids) then twice through the day, then solids nad milk at 5pm, then bottle at 7pm. Im going to put her to bed early tonight as our nights are just getting worse and I have a feeling she is just overtired at night and that is the problem. It all seemed to start when she cut out her last sleep at afternoon time. Mum said night terrors are common in overtired babies, so maybe that's it. She woke up screaming 3 times last night and I could NOT resettle her. I ended up feeding most of the night and didn't sleep.
I will try anything, so tonight she's going to bed at 6pm instead of 7pm and I'll see if that makes any difference. I've had her in her cot this morn for over an hour and still no sleep, I think again she is just way overtired.
gotta run, time to get some cleaning done
PS delivery guy left a message in foyer "dear customers, I have to leave the papers near the letterboxes now as someone has complained"!!! Why he didn't leave them there always is beyond me, they're undercover and only about 10 metres away from front door. Thank goodness, just hope he keeps it up. And it was lucky, I JUST got Coco to sleep before he arrived, and would have SPEWED if he'd woken her. xo

Ooohhh...ok, off and about again today. We're off to iceskating again as we had so much fun last Thursday. :)

YAY for NSW winning last night! :)

Hope you're all doing well...Maddy's teeth are still bothering her so she isn't sleeping overly well and she's so clingy still. Didn't want a bar of Daddy, only Mummy when we were at my Dad's last night.

Beck, Have fun iceskating!!!
Sarajo, good to hear your sister has joined, I am suprised it's taken her so long, with you loving it so much!! Had you told her about it? I actually have not told any of my friends or family as I want to have my own space!! bit selfish??
Mel, hope you're feeling better soon. I think being a mum is alot of up and down's particularly in the beginning. I have been having a huge rollercoaster of a month, feeling depressed sometimes, then good others. I have to remind myself to appreciate my little ones and not be too stressed. This is easier said than done, particularly when I am getting no sleep. If you're getting up to Logan 3 or 4 times, that is going to tire you out. I hope you get some well needed rest today. Anway, I will think of you when I am up at all hours with Coco!! Maybe we should come on and chat!! And feel free to come and talk about your feelings here anytime. have you checked out the thread on depression? I have been there a couple of times, it's good to have people in the same situation who understand what you're going through.
have a good day everyone oxox

Hey All,
Hope you all had a great night,
Meg – Jett was doing the exactly the same as darling Coco, the same. I can’t believe how alike their sleeping patterns are. I really hope that you get into the sleep school soon. Jett was waking like Coco screaming and I didn’t know what was going on, he has stopped doing it so maybe they outgrow it??
My mum said she thinks Jett gets to cold when he sleeps so I started putting and extra blanket on him and that seemed to work. I know how you feel, that was the main reason the I stopped BF cause I was so tired from getting up every hour to him, I am just lucky that DH would do the night feeds early on for me as he had just finished work. I
Sarajo – I feed Jett every 4 hours or as close to as I can. When I was at the sleeping school they changed him from 3 to 4 hourly feeds, he cracked them for the first week but now he can do it. Everyday is always different cause it depends what time he gets up but it goes along the lines of:
Up at 8am, nappy change then feed of 240ml play for a bit
Sleep then feed at 12pm of 240ml play for a few hours
Sleep then feed at 4pm of 240ml play for a few hours
Maybe a little sleep then solids at 6pm bath at 6:30pm
Feed at 7pm then bed at 7:30pm, that is the plan anyway.
I have just started to give him some breaky at about 9am of mashed apple we will see how we go on that.
I wouldn’t really worry too much, she doesn’t have as much as Jett each feed but she makes up by having more feeds, all of my girlfriends with little girls say that they feed like that too.
Hope this helps??
Anyway I am of to Mother's Group today we are going out for our monthly lunch, Jett is staying at home with Daddy's cause if he dosn't he won't get to play with him before he goes to work.
Take Care

Hey Dani, how was your lunch with mothers group? We just had mothers group too. We're going out for a mums dinner tomorrow night. We are trying to go out about once a month. I love it, so nice to have freedom and be with people in the same sitch. pity we can't all get together (the dec mums), one day hopefully!!
Trying to get coco down for a nap now, ah the joys. It's always either feeding or sleeping time!!
xo

:hello: Hi ladies!

Thank you for the info on feeding, it does help! I used to give abby more milk less often and then the gastro specialist tole me less more often so she wouldnt spit up so much, and since then she wont even take entire bottles. Maybe due to her teething? Sometimes she only takes a measly 60 ml!!! Oh well! Well I gotta run, I'll try to get personals later! I have to watch a 10 yr old today...school's out and the mom has to work!

Everyone have a GREAT day!!

Hi girls!!

Have had a crazy couple of days..especially yesterday. In the morning i went with a friend to the michael hill jeweller one day 'silly sale'.some of the prices were unbelievable!!they had stock in the window that was only $1 or $5 or $9(rings/pendants with a small diamond in them, baby bracelets, earrings, gold, silver, all sorts)there was a cue but we got there an hr before the doors opened and were about 10 people back..the was a beautiful ring(it looked like JLo's engagement ring from ben affleck)it was white gold, with the big pink princess cut stone in the centre, with a triangle diamond either side...$9!!!i wanted it for my sister's 21st(i haven't got her anything and its on sunday)but of course when i got in, it had been sold..they had the same thing in silver with cubic zirconia's for only $30(down from $89) so i got her that instead. I also got a pair of cubic zirconia drop earrings for $9(for my baby sis's 17th) and a pair of sapphire studs(set in gold) for me!!and they were only $19..i swear if i had more money i would've bought the whole shop!!!it was so worth the wait!!!!
Then after that we rushed straight to possum cottage(sleep school).We had to go back since now that owen can settle himself to sleep in his own bed, he needs to learn to resettle during the day so that he sleeps for longer than 45mins at a time..was a horrid day and he resettled only once after 1/2hr of crying and we finally wrapped him..ugh!!so i was so stressed once i got home..and probably won't get much of a chance to practice it today anyway, as my mum is coming up for the day and will more than likely not put him down!!!
You have all been chatting too much for my to do personals, but i was glad to see all is going well for leanne and drew.
Also Dani, i hope your cousin's family is coping and i'm thinking of them and you..i can't begin to imagine how hard it must be for all involved.
Well i'll talk to you all soon.
Have a great day all!!
xx

Wow Christie, what a sale!! Well done on the bargains!
How was possum cottage? My MIL gave me teh routine they use there and told me to book in, however it's too far from here so Im booking into tresillian instead which is close by.
Mind you, I decided yesterday to a) give Coco some extra food, so i gave her a 200ml formula bottle at 2pm (she wouldn't have had anything normally then) and she drank it all. Then I put her to bed at 6pm and she slept until 2am. that's 8 hours so Im thinking she was either hungry, overtired or both. I am therefore going to start her on her third solids meal today. She was having breakfast and dinner and two milk feeds in the middle and I just don't think I have enough breastmilk to sustain her for the night.
anyway, must go and get her back to bed
have a great day
lxoxox

Where is everyone today??
I was planning on starting Coco on her third solid meal today, but she's slept right through lunch! Looks like it will be arvo tea instead! Bit of a relief because she only had 20 minutes this morn.
hope everyone's having a good day
love

Sorry Meg, we're around...I just had my Mum around to watch Maddy while I had my driving lesson. :) Was better today, hopefully I shouldn't need more than 6 lessons all up. Had 2 already and he said I won't need nearly as many as most of his students. *does a little dance* That's good because I can't really afford to keep having weekly lessons at $40 a pop for months, plus I need my licence as I hate being stuck at home all day.

Missy Moo is a bit off colour today. She wouldn't sleep before lunch but then again, she hasn't pooed in two days so perhaps it's making her a little grumpy? *L*

How is everyone else doing? :)

Hey Beck, I hope you get your licence really soon!! So you're going for your P's? Or L's? I guess with the driving it must be P's. It will be so great for you to have the freedom!
Hope Maddy is feeling better. Coco had such a super sleep at lunch that Im hoping she has an arvo nap, other wise she'll be going from 1.30pm until bed...too long!
Anyway, not much more happening here. Didn't do much today, just a walk to the local shops where I ended up buying a dress!!! Naughty naughty!! But it's so cute and Im going to wear it out to dinner tonight!!
xoxo

Everyone was so quiet today..normally after a day we've logged up 3+ pages!!!hope all is well..i had a busy day out and about with mum and my sis's..all is good here and Owen's sleep haas improved even today..so things are looking up..gotta run and cook pears and apples but will talk tomorrow if i get a chance
xx

Hey ladies! Abby had a restless night! <yawn> she was up at 12:30, 2:00, 5:00, 6:00 and she is still up! I was going to watch that 10 yr old again but she just called and cancelled. I feel bad because her mom said she was dizzy and yesterday she didnt drink much water or anything at ALL and I should have made her drink more, and her mom said "maybe she is dizzy because she didnt drink enough yesterday!" :doh: Oh well, its better anyway today cause Abby need to rest and with a kid her, she gets all excited and doesnt want to sleep! I just feel guilty.

My other sister is comming tonight to meet Abby!!!! Wohhoooo! She hasnt seen her yet, and she is flying in tonight at 9:30 and staying till Tuesday! YIPEE!

ni mbbbbbbbbbbb <Abby loves to type! lol

Anyway, I better go feed this little munchkin!

Hey Ladies,
Have been MIA today as I have been into town to get my Aunty and Uncle a card, as my cousin passed away last night at about 10pm, I was ready for it as it has been nearly 1 week since the accident. Good thing is that he is an organ donor so he will still live on, cause 25 is way too soon to be taken to heaven.:angel:
Anyway then I went to my friends place, she was the one that introduce me to BB. (Think her name is BecG on BB??) I took a bee sting from Brumby’s over there, not really good when I am suppose to be losing this belly, But I walked to her place!!!
Christie – Do you cook your pears and apples together? I have just been doing one fruit, maybe I could mix them??? Glad to hear that Owen sleeping has improved sounds like none of us have had great sleepers, Jett is pretty good now.
Thank god for sleep school..
Meg – Good on you, I am sure you will look like a hot Mumma in your new dress, you deserve it Meg. Glad to hear Coco’s sleep is getting better, I bet it is making you feel better too. I know when Jett started getting better I started getting better.
Oh, mother’s group was great, I was childfree. :dance:
My mum doesn’t drive so I ran her to Kmart and by the time we got back I was running late for lunch and Jett needed a sleep and DH was going to work early.
Mum just said leave him there so that was great (she always comes and takes him, he just loves hanging with his nanna).
Then I went back to get him and she said stay for dinner so that was even better.
Sarajo - How exciting about your sister, hope you have fun catching up, I am sure you will. Don’t feel bad about the drink thing; if a 10 year old is thirsty I am sure they will drink. Go Abby you computer chicky…:computer:
Good please let Jett’s teeth come through soon, they are really troubling him.
Anyway I said to myself that I was going to have an early night and it is now 10:24 pm not early!!!
Bedtime for this Mumma.:bedtime:
Goodnight Ladies

Hi all. Thought I would let you all know I am back around this weekend.

Drew just tried the Banana and Pear Farex, didn't seem to mind it. He acted better with it then the plain stuff that even the dog wouldn't eat (dont blame either of them).

Will catch up later if anyone is around.

Hi Girls

Dani, my thoughts are with your family..losing someone is always hard.but you're right, its wonderful he is an organ donor.. i cook the pears and apples seperate and freeze them but sometimes mix them up when i defrost so could probably cook them together..ah well..Owen's sleeping has def improved!!he slept thru last night!!he went to bed at 4.30(DH put him down)slept til 7.30 when i got him up put him in his jammies and sleeping bag and gave him a feed, then straight back to be at 8.20 then slept til 5.15, up for a feed, back down til 7!!!and even then he got up til 8.30 and is still asleep over an hr later!!!unbelievable!!!so am pretty happy with sleep school too!!! Don't grandparents just dote on their grandbabies!!my parents live 2hrs away but mum came up for the day yest and didn't put owen down!!!but he recognises her too now so its really lovely..

Sarajo, have a wonderful time with your sis.. i bet she'll be thrilled to see abby!!

Owen's awake..gtg

So sorry Dani about your cousins passing. How are his parents doing?

Christie, yay on Owen's sleep!! Wow what a sleepy boy! Im hoping Abby will have a good sleep tonight so she doesnt wake my sister up!

I am so oooo ooo excited that my sister is comming! Her plane lands in 20 minutes! Don went to pick her up, I have the house all clean, and Abby is sleeping peacefully! I think while she is here we will go out for sushi! She is trying to get :bellygrowing: so Im sure she will want sushi before she cant eat the raw stuff for 9 months! lol!

HI LEANNE!!!! Yay you are here for another weekend! The only problem is that since I have company I wont be on to say hello, so I'll just have to say a quick "hi" now! HI!!!! :hello:

You all have a GREAT day! Bubs, you all be good boys and girls for your mummies! :twin_neutral: :twin_neutral:

Dani, so sorry to hear about your cousin, that is awful. Hope his parents are ok.

Had a really late night last night, went to the pub after mothers dinner!! Kind of regret it now. Needless to say, Coco is on formula today!!
My new dress was a hit, felt very stylish and Un-mummish!!
Sarajo, have a brilliant time with your sister, how exciting!!
Leanne, good to have you back!! How's Drew doing?
Guys, gotta run, trying to get coco to sleep.

Hey ladies! :)

Sorry we haven't been around...had some friends over for a greasy breakfast this morning (yummo...hehe!) and then we went to a Gold Class session of X-Men III. Was really cool and Maddy was so good! She fed for half the movie but instead of sleeping through the rest...she was MESMORISED by the music and action. She just lay on my lap watching the screen! *L*

No personals tonight (sorry...I'm so slack!) but will be back on in the morning. Take care all of you & here's hoping for a good night's sleep from your bubbies for you all!

Hey Beck, good effort with the movie, I've still got to try that out with Coco!! Glad you had a good time.
How was everyone's night? Coco did an 8 hour stretch again, but it only got us to 2.30am, so had to feed then and it took a while to settle. Then she was up at 5.30am, so not too happy with that. Think I'll have to put her to bed a bit later tonight, maybe about 7pm.
We're off to the farm today, have to clean it up a bit, Dad is coming home next week and we said we'd have all hte beds made etc. Tim also loves being outdoors and is doing all the gardens etc.
have a good day everyone, must go and pack our warmest winter woollies, it will be FREEZING down there!
xoxo

Have a great trip to the farm Meg...a few days in the country sounds lovely! :) I actually recommend the movies...I just figured that if Maddy cried I could either stick her on the boob or leave for a few minutes.

Dani - I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin...I hope your family is doing ok; such a tragic thing to lose a life so young but such an amazing thing they are doing for so many people in allowing him to live on through organ donoring.

Sarajo - hope you're having a fantastic time with your sister....take tons of photos! :) Mmmmmmm.....sushi! :) Eat some chicken sushi for me darl! hehe

Leanne - glad to see you around here again! Looking forward to hearing from you so that we can catch up late next week or so. :) Hope you and Drew are doing well....I need to get you to send some of the sleep glitter over here.

Christie - WOW....all of the little boys are now going great-guns with their sleep. WTG little Owen! Your report on the sleep school sounds very positive. Maybe something I need to look into with Maddy.

Nothing exciting happening here at home. Maddy is vocalising something chronic...lots of squeals and chattering; usually directed at Daddy & I to get some attention. The good part of today is that Juliette (from May 2005 Baby buddies) is coming down to Brissie for a few days for work so we're going shopping at lunchtime! It'll be great to see her again...we're such a bad pair when we get shopping though! *L*

To all of the other ladies (Tiggy, Wonderwoman, Rach, Kate and Jillian) hope you are all going well and your bubbies are thriving!

Morning ladies,
So much for good sleep, Jett slept for 40 minutes while I went for a walk yesterday, OMG he was a handful for the day.
I am so excited cause he rolled over I was starting to worry cause I have the MCHN on the 8th for his 6 month check up and he hadn’t shown any signs of wanting to roll then on Thursday night at mum’s over he goes, Yah!!:confetti:
Thanks for your support with my cousin’s passing, the talk now is it will be a private funeral with just my Aunty and Uncle. It is not really fair for the rest of the family that wants to say goodbye, hey what can I do….
Beck – I love Maddy’s site, your pictures are great. Good on you, I would be kicked out of the movies I think, Jett is very noisy and we would be chatting the whole way through I reckon.
Meg - good on you, I would love to get on the red but with hubby working late it is a bit to early for him to get up to Jett, but one of these days think he will have to stay at Nana's and mummy might share a bottle with her friends, Naughty...:p
Betta go the boy is up
Take care xoxo

Hi all. I thought I would log on quickly while the short boy is asleep and I am waiting for him to wake up so I can start heading home from Mum and Dads place.

Beck - I am keen to catch up next week. Mondays are ususally the best days for me. You have my numbers (I have lost your home number - stupid phone!) let me know how that works for you. Actually come to think of it any day except Wednesday normally.

Everyone else, it has been great catching up, and I am so jealous that you all get to keep in touch! I must get on to Michael about that computer again!

So until we speak again all the best and my love to you all

xx Leanne & Drew

Nice seeing you around here as usual Leanne! :) We'll definately catch up and Mondays are fine for me, especially if it's possible to meet mid-morning. Maddy would normally sleep then but until I get my licence I'm stuck leaving on the train with John in the morning at 7am! *L* Once I'm at the train station I can get into the city or wherever you want to meet. Thursday mornings are currently out for me as I go to a morning tea Ice skating session...ever skated before? Maybe you could make it some time! :)

Dani - thanks for the compliment on the photos! :) Does the link take you to babies online because that's her old website. There is a freewebs website I set up for Maddy which is the 'new' one.

Jillian - WTG on little Imogen's progress! She is doing SO well. I have no idea how much Maddy weighs as she was last done at her 16week needles and she was 6.1kgs. I imagine she's more around 7kgs now. Glad to hear about your plans with regards to solids and also about the eczema. Maddy came out in little dotty like pimples the other night after having a bath with me..I used an aloe vera bath wash in the water so perhaps she's allergic?

Meg, Rach, Tiggy, Wonderwoman, Mel, Sara & Kate....hope you're all going well and had a good night's sleep!

Better run, Maddy is crying in her cot...trying to get her to have a sleep. We'll see..... *L*
