We have teeth here.. if i rub my fingers on her gums, top and bottom, it's very rough and not soft anymore!... she's ALWAYS got her fist in there and pushes the teat of her bottle around and chomps on it! i hope they don't take too long to come out.. poor buba! :pray:
The seat it great! she really enjoys it when she's "over" the floor! LOL
glad everyone seems to be doing well!!
haroula - im surpirsed the top too.... the bottom usually come first and top take a bit longer..... they might come up and then go back down again tho..
Ash just rolled from his back to tummy and back again!! YAY proud mummy here!! :dance:
Lauren, that's awesome!!! fantastic:clap:
Chrissie just fell asleep on the floor! i lay down with her for a couple minutes and just sang a song to her and she's asleep!!!! :o
Olivias look on her face the first time she rolled was priceless :lol: she got such a shock!:
Great pics too.. Chrissy is looking so long
Yeh I noticed that too,, Hope all is ok and you are just busy:
Bek: hoping Af shows in a day or so for you then, If it doesn't show I would retest or go to the Dr. I see you are quite pleased it turned out neg. I personally wouldn't be overly happy for myself right now but if it happened it happened kwim? yay on tubals :lol:
i have zip desire for another baby. Olivia has taken it all out of me
Can't believe some of these bubba's are getting teeth. Olivia chews her fists and drools but gums still look normal..
We bought a camping trailer tent the other week (off ebay ) and it arrived today :yay: We saved heaps buying it this way so now all thats left is to buy the trailer and put the 2 together. Can't wait..
We have to set it up this week though to make sure all the bits are there so we will do that on Simons days off I will take piccies of course ;)
which reminds me.. new pics were uploaded yesterday..
I am feelin a little sleepy now but its to late in the day to nap.. plus Isaac and Jacob keep having little spats.. Olivia has been asleep for 2 hours so should wake up soonish
Rory has gone back to work, so i'm hoping too that she is just real busy!
Has AF gotten a lot heavier since having your bubs? i've noticed it has for me! darn it!
Buzzie - Yey on Ash rolling over.
Haroula - Yey on Chrissie getting teeth.
Both my girls were born with their top eye teeth sitting under the gums surface. Sara looked like a little vampire for a while.
I have been wondering about Rory too, hope all is well.
Used my first mcn today and Loren pooed as soon as I got it on, so I put on the second one and she weed straight away...I only have 2 of them!!!!
Ah thats right I forgot she went back to work.. Well rory if you read this hope work is going well
:lol: bek thats kinda funny.. Olivia always pees through when I put this certain outfit on her well 2 of them actually..One is jammies and the other day clothes and i swear neither has been worn for more then 2 hours.
We have a couple of jinxed outfits here as well :lol:
yep, we do too. She also likes to unload in a fresh nappy so I feel your pain Bek!
Monique has been out of sorts today and only had 30 mins from around 2.30pm and then finally went to sleep at about 6.30pm and she hasn't woken up for food. I think she might be waking me up for a feed in the early hours tonight :( Best get an early night then.
All this rolling over is exciting. No rolls here yet. Lots of legs in the air and over to the side but no follow through.
We had an almost back to front roll tonight.. but she chickened out at the last second lol.. Well Im heading to bed. eyes getting very heavy.. Cross fingers for us all to have a good nights sleep
well speaking of good night sleep and rolling over!!! It took Ash 45mins to get to sleep last night cos all he kept doing was rolling over onto his tummy and putting his head up! hehe Talk about being proud mummy one moment to tired the next.. hehe it was very cute tho....
:lol: go Ash.. I know that feeling though.. So proud then so darn tired
Olivia slept reasonably well last night. I few her when she woke at 1:30 *yawn* but she went straight back to sleep. she woke a couple more times but I just got up and went sshh sshh and patted her back gently.. she woke again at 4:30 so I just popped her in bed with me and we slept on and off till 8.. on and off thanks to the boys.. grrr..
now she has been screaming in tiredness for the last half hour and nothing I did would settle her till I lay her on the bed :rolleyes: then she suddenly woke up and is now on the floor playing..
Well, I will have to say that I got the best nigths sleep that I have had for a few weeks. Abbey went down around 8.30 ish, got up after 15 minutes, as usual, but was back down by 9 and woke at 7 am. :D
She rolls over now any chance she gets. The minute I take her nappy off she is flipping herself over. Thank God she can't crawl away just yet. In saying that though I have a funny feeling that she is going to crawl early. She gets herself onto her belly then brings her knees right up to her chest and pushes down on the ground, this makes her push herself forward !! OMG she is way too little for all of this.
Abbey also has begun the teething process, she has 2 teeth in her bottom gums, right in the middle. You can clearly see them just sitting there. She has been pooing a bit funny the last few days, not sure if it's a tummy thing or a teeth thing. Abbey is another one who likes to poo in a clean nappy, and it's always a cloth one too. Go figure.
Thanks for all the well wishes girls. My boob was sore for a few days and I felt crappy but am better now. Have just gotten back in from Noah's footy game. We were out of the house by 8.30am, too early for the weekend.
WTG all these clever babies with their rolling. Let the fun times begin !!!
Finally after 3 hours of screaming Olivia went to sleep. over tired I think.. Jacob is also asleep :) I lay on the bed with him and just said it is bed time now sleep. He carried on and tried to get up but each time he did I made him lay back down.. In the end I turned my back on him and he didn't like that so he cuddled up and was asleep in 2 minutes :)
I feel all blergh today like I have a cold but I know I don't? kwim? the boys all have runny noses too
this weather is totally weird. it was so hot last night yet yesterday was cool nearly all day.. and today is warm but I wouldn't say hot
Nic, I hope you manage to get some rest too hun. Perhaps now while the little ones are asleep you can have a nap, or atleast a lay on the lounge ??
Tehya and Abbey have had colds for a couple of weeks now, Noah is starting to get one. Can't win in the weather lately.
Got a semi rest but better then nothing.
Olivia woke at around 2 and we hopped in and had a 20 min bath :) Jacob woke up while we were in there and he has woken up not looking 100% but still cheerful.. Stupid change of season colds..
Olivia and Jacob are now laying on the floor together..
glad to hear you are getting some rest Nic - i had to let Vicky sleep on me today as my extremely intelligent :rolleyes: DP decided that we would go shopping this morning and only let both the kids sleep in the car over there - 15 mins :doh:. Good one doofus we have had two screaming tired blubbery messes this arvo and Vicky was not having a bar of her bed. Hopefully the rest of the day will be better. Off to make banana & honey milkshakes for afternoon tea.:D
I GOT AF TODAY!!!!! Guess that really means I am not pg. Time to start temping again, although I do have an apt at the hospital on Monday to have the Mirena thing put in. DH told me not to worry about it as we'll be ttc by the end of the year. Nice to see that he has consulted me on this issue. I thnk for sanity sake that we should ttc in around 18 months time.
Miss Loren was whingy all arvo yesterday, I just could not keep her happy. She must have been so over-tired. Poor thing all her sleeps were interupted because we were out and about. I can't seem to get Loren into a feeding routine. Mostly she feeds 3 hourly, but she'll have say 80ml and then 1 hour later she is screaming for more and she'll drink between 60 and 120mls and then at night she'll feed every 2 hours. Sara used to feed every 3 hours on the dot, she'd take the whole bottle and be done with it.
Also I really have to start a stricter sleep routine, it seems that we are doing all sorts of things to get her to sleep atm.
Best go, I hope you all have a great Saturday night. My DH is working tonight and then going to a party so I am home alone.
ggrr.. bloody boys woke Olivia up so she is semi asleep on my lap at the moment. I am so cranky with them so they got put to bed..
go check out my new pics I uploaded from this afteernoon :lol: Olivias hair is just awesome
Not sure if you want a YAY or not Bek, but I will give you one any way. YAY for AF turning up. Ohhh at DH's plan's for you ;)
Morgan, don't you hate those power naps. Not enough to make them happier or rested, just enough to make them even more cranky. I hope you have a good night tonight then.
Nic, Ohhh hun I am hearing you on the kids waking up the baby. P's you off hey, you spend all your time getting the baby to sleep only so the other kids can wake her up in 5 minutes flat.
I have Abbey asleep in my arms. I was just about to put her to bed when Tehya woke and started crying. I sent Mark in to settle her. Looks like I will have to put up with the dead arms abit longer.
I just uploaded a few new pics of Abbey. Have a squizz :D
Nic, I love Olivia's fluffy hair. Too cute.
Trish & Nic - those are two gorgeous girls.
Nic - Vicky's hair is lying flat now :lol: i'll pull my finger out tomorrow and take some new pics & upload them.
WARNING - dont give kids those yoghurt drinks - gave a strawberry one to Alex while out shopping today and 5 mins later the entire lot came back up all over him - it really stunk :sick:
Both kiddies are in bed have been since 7.30pm and DP is next door drinking beers & watching AFL so i have a beautifully quiet house :)
Thanks Morgan :D
Abbey's hair sticks up something shocking. She has a baby mohawk.
Grose on the spewed up yoghurt too. Bet it still looked the same though ;)
Hope your enjoying your quiet house too. My kids have all been asleep for a while now. Not sure why I am still sitting in front of the puter, I really should take my bum to bed and get some sleep. Just nice enjoying the very rare peaceful house.
Thanks Trish and Morgan :)
Olivia went back to bed not long after I posted thankfully and has been sleeping soundly ever since. I kinda hope the extra feed will help her sleep till at least 4:30 or even 5 if I'm lucky..
eeww at the yoghurt spew Morgan. I am not good with spew and dh is even worse so on the rare occassion we do get it , it is my job to clean it up
No matter what we try we can't get Olivia's hair to go down :lol: I wet it and leave it be and it springs up. I had a stranger walk up to us the other week and start rubbing her head lol. I wasn't bothered by it as she looked like a nice clean lady ;)
Well its my bedtime (I think) sick of going to bed so early but I am so bleepin tired lately. To be honest i could have gone to bed just after 8 but have made mysef stay up a bit and get some good quality quiet time
Trish - Thanks for the congrates...although I hate the AF pains:( damit I have not had AF for 16 months and I so hate it.
Cute pics girls. Sara's hair used to stick up like Sid Vicious's hair. I have put some pics up of Loren and one of Sara at the same age. My girls could not be more different. Loren is still a baldy!!!
Ahh yes Nic, that is what I have done too. Most nights I crash out so early on the lounge that I get no ME time. And once I climb into bed Abbey wakes up almost straight away. I swear she can smell me come into the room.
Have a good nights sleep hun. And LOL at the nice clean lady too. I don't even bother with Abbey's hair, there is just no point. Maybe I should break out the hairspray ;)
Bek, I saw the 2 pics of the girls. You can see the likeness in their faces, esp their noses but Loren has a rounder more fuller face than Sara I think, and much less hair. Both equally as gorgoeus though. Ugggghhhhh I hate AF pains too. And nothing really does ease them. Maybe try a hot waterbottle hun. Atleast you can take some drugs for the pain :D
I saw those pics Bek.. They look so different don't they? But in a way you can tell they are siblings..
:hug: on the AF front. I hate Af. I am finally af free.. 3 in the last month. I better go at least 1 whole month without it..
eta: Posted before I saw your comment trish :)
I don't usually bother with Olivias hair, although I love brushing it. and she seems to like it.
olivia will wake if she is in my bed and I get up to go to the toilet or something but she barely even stirs when I go to bed at night. (you watch tonight she will wake lol)
Just saying Goodnight - hope you all have a good sleep :shhh:
Night Morgan, hope you get a good nights sleep too.
Nic, I brush Abbey's hair when she gets out of the bath and that's about it. DP says she has boy's hair. Poor bubba. What can you really do when they have this fairy floss hair. She has lost most of the hair on top, and what she does have there is pretty thin, still has a decent covering around the back though. Hmmmmm sounds like her fathers head ;)
I hope AF stays away for you. Apart from those days where I have had the spotting I haven't had any real issues. I do get cramps occassionally that make me feel like she is coming but thankfully so far that is is. I generally don't get them back too soon after having my babies so hoping that it works out the same this time around too.
Re my girls: Sara looks more like me and Loren her dad although they both have my nose. Most people say Loren is like Rob but I think that's because they are both bald. I really got a shock when Loren came out bald. Sara had so much hair right from birth so I expecting another hairy bub. I have a lot of people at the shops asking me if Loren is a boy or a girl...PIA especially when she is wearing pink or purple.
Nic - I really hope AF stays away for you. My friend had a tubal and this happened to her for a while too.
Night all....
ok I am over it.. I am so sick to death of crappy nights!! I ay there last night thinking what the hell have I got myself into? then i reminded myself its only a few shorts years they are young.. Olivia woke at 1:30 and fed and went straight back to sleep like a dream. and Bl@@dy hell wouldn't you knw it. Jacob wakes up at 2 :rolleyes: he was awake tossing and coughing and snorting his way through the night till 3"30.. Im like COME ON!!! He finally fell asleep and Olivia woke at 4:30.. aagghhh..
Simons days off today so its all good for another 4 days :lol: and to make me look on the bright side of life.. Jacob woke at 2 cus he took himself to the toilet in th emiddle of the night :D and Olivia gave me some very beautiful smiles and was happy to lay on the bed so my body was restes at least lol..
So roll on rest time already :lol:
Bek: Its funny cus last March my body did the exact same thing and then I found out I was expecting Olivia. I will go to the Dr next week as I wonder if it has anything to do with the Fibroid I have/had..
Nic, I am betting that your fibroid does have something to do with it. My period before I fell pg with Abbey was abit erratic, I am like clockwork normally but was all over the place, hence how Abbey got here. I am hoping that when AF does come back she is kind to me.
Sorry that you got such a crappy night. Fingers crossed you get a rest in today sometime, and tonight make Simon get up with the other kiddies :D
Silly me sat up on here late lastnight, I ended up on msn chatting to a gf until just after 11.30. I went to bed and Abbey slept until 8 am !! Sorry Nic. We just lay in bed for a bit and had a big booby feed, damn though cos old lefty is soooo full. Might have to grab her for some more soon.
Have a great Sunday girls :D
Hey I am all for hearing how great other babies sleep cus I know there is light at the end of the tunnel :lol:
Simon will even get up to Olivia tonight which is great. If she is just awake for a recover and pat that is.. If she needs feeding he will wake me :)
I am feeling decent at the moment. Been cleaning the house.. taking a break for a few. Simon just got back from a work thing so has gone to bed. They do these stupid bbq breakfast things after night shift and everyone drinks. simon took 2 thermo mugs of coffee hahaha.. I personally couldn't drink in the morning unless I hadn't stopped from the night before :lol: oh those were the days..
OMG at drinking so early in the morning. No way can I do that. Even if I've had a big one it takes me to atleast 12pm to start again. LOL. Must be turning into an old fart.
Here I was about to say that Tehya didn't even wake overnight but she did. LOL. Mark just said she was up aroudn 3am. I must have been in a deep sleep or she must not have been too loud. Normally she wakes Abeby up too.
I know.. My stomach simply couldn't handle it at this hour. Simon said he was glad he left when he did as some of the guys were getting a little tipsy already.. each to thier own I guess. I know they say its after night shift so its like afternoon but its not.. it is morning and eww..
Well I think my littl man Jacob is unwell.. runny eyes and nose and he feels warm.. and is so tired after last nights effort. In a hour or so I will attempt to put him down for a nap. Olivia is being so darn cheeky.. ya ya ya ya at Ethan :lol: Last night I was cooking dinner and she was squealing at me from the lounge..
ok she has her grumps on now.. time for a bath and feed I think
hi everyone!:D
mirani had her chn appoint last wed and my god i knew she was big but not that big!!
her length is 65cm, head 44cm and weight is 7.14kg. compared to all the other bubs, i think she's the chubbiest with the fattest head!:lol:
teeth still havent come through yet, but still lots of drooling.
the chn said the other day that they recc starting solids at 6mths to try to avoid obesity and diabetes. but mirani looks interested in food and likes yoghurt. so every few days we'll give her a couple of spoons.
take care everyone, and enjoy life.
