Babies Born December 2007 #13

[Trish]

LoriRae, your very welcome. Ummm labia or nipples. I'm going to go with nipples, as they have to be sucked on, and you can just tell DP to bugger off and stay away from the labia

Did your Dr get a chest x ray on Ty, that's what Abbey's was for yesterday. Keep a close watch on him, bronchilitis can turn to pneumonia very fast. Tehya was sick with it at 12 weeks, and after goign back and forth to the Dr's for a week finally got another x ray and it had turned to pneumonia. She ended up in the kids hospital on a drip for a few days. On the upside of it though, it can actually be treated as it's bacterial whereas bronchilitis is viral so AB's do jack for it.

I fed all of my babies with teeth and yes I got chomped on my times than I care to remember, but tbh, by the time (most) of them had teeth they were old enough to understand a firm no and me putting boob away it generally is enough to deter them. Not looking forward to it with Abbey though as she's already a nipple chomper. Thankfully I can't feel her new tooth on the nipple just yet. I'm sure it will only be a few weeks though.

Nic, I never bothered with the cup. Breastfed babies don't need any other fluids other than breastmilk for quite some time. I figure she has enough years ahead of her using a cup. Can't afford $700 atm. Esp not after getting the new washing machine and tv. LOL. Which reminds me, I need to chase up the person that won my old washer on Ebay, she still hasn't sent the money through.

Bek, I'm sure you will look gorgeous huni. Besides, it's Loren's big day, all eyes will be on her. I went shopping in Crossroads for Abbey's baptism. Not where I'd normally shop but their sizes are alittle bigger and more accomodating esp after baby bodies and they really do have some nice stuff in there.

So damn tired, another crap night with Abbey. I know she's not well, and she's cutting teeth but aggghhhh, the midnight scream session has got to go. I suppose I am feeling it more as she has been such a good sleeper.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday. Make the most of the males being at home and off load all bubba's as much as possible I say this as mine is in the lounge with the 3 little ones.

Morning Trish Hope those midnight screams stop.. they can be most annoying..
I had a decent night last night for a change. Olivia slept 8 till 4 then 4:30 till 7:30. I got up at 7 and had coffee and checked emails.. was nice

Olivia is very happy watching the boys play lego at the moment.. So cute. And Ethan was cuddling her this morning reading her a book... was so sweet except the book was on weaponary

Trish~ re cups. I know she doesn't need extra fluids I was just thinking more along the lines of an activity or getting used to it.. I am still thinking about it. I guess no harm in getting the cup and see how she likes it and if she doesn't just pop it in the fridge till she is ready

Hope that chick pays for the wasing machine soon.. Hey what do you think of this new thing on ebay? Can you still pay vua bank deposit or is all paypal no matter what??

[Trish]

Ohh I didn't really know too much about that Nic. What a PITA, why are they doing that ? and does paypal take a cut of it ?

Hey, no harm in getting Olivia used to holding or sucking on a cup.

Abbey was happily watching The wiggles while the kids coloured in and played duplo, must be the morning for it. Funny, Tehya was reading Abbey a book the other day too. PMSL at the book Ethan is reading to Olivia. Oh, she can be a little comando instead of a princess today.

[aussienic]

nooooooooooooooooooooooo I want a princess.. I got 3 boofy boys I want a dainty little girl...

and for your next post where you tell me that aint gunna happen.. lalalalalalalalala I can't hear you

childish? ME.. NEVER!!

[Trish]

PMSL Nic, I have Tehya, She was supposed to be my princess. Ever seen a princess that won't wear a bloody dress ?? I can only hope that Abbey will be my girl now.

Hmmm, perhaps if I run away with her now I can save her from being a tomboy too

[aussienic]

Run now Run away

I put a dress on Olivia this morning that was made for her. It still doesn't quite fit.. She loves lifting her legs up, not great when trying to get pics hehe.

I'm bored today.. did my housework yesterday, sure there is always something to do but heck i'm having a day off..

Hi everyone
Jas08 - Friday would be fine, anytime after 9am is good for me. Im on msg these days so if you want to contact me thru that and i'll give my address etc.
Trish - I hope Abbeys bronchialitis is getting better , Alex had that and we had to give him steriod drops and ventolin (sp??) . Vicky has those freezing hands doesnt seem to bother her but hell it bothers me & my boobs during those lovely early morning feeds - instant pucker . Saw a new GP on the weekend for her 4 month check and she was more than happy to not vaccinate as she is convinced that her sons autism was caused by the MMR (back when the mercury was still in it).
LoriRae - How is Ty going with his bronchialitis :hugs: as i said before we've had it and it is horrible watching them struggling . We still wrap Vicky but do it from under the arms as she has to have them free to suck the thumb/fingers. You could try using little cotton socks as mittens.
Nic - Hope you enjoyed your "day off" i wish i was more organised and could get my housework done in a day takes about a week and then it starts all over again.
To everyone else hope you have a good long weekend and that the bubs are all being good and feeling well.

We went to my sis housewarming today, got there early in case the little ones misbehaved and was glad we did cause as everyone started turning up out came the cigs and noone made any effort to light up away from our kids...i mean DP smokes but never ever around the kids so we left real quick. grrr.
