what a great idea- swimming! its hot during the day in brissy and there's a good heated pool... and olly's in daycare today so it's manageable! oooo goody i cant wait.
bekz- commando crawling? i dreamt mylo was too, but he's just lying around being rolly polly but not very much rolling.
alicia hope your kitchen is going good. enjoy eating out!
nic, hope you guys get your mojo back. i want mine back too. blame the bfing. if in indonesia we could just go get a spell, but knowing my luck the spell would compell strange men to follow me down the street asking to buy my noodle soup (what noodle soup?)
couldn't keep up with all the posts (i got lost long ago and its a jungle in here)- hope the sick babies are all feeling better, the not sleeping babies are sleeping better.
lara
thankyou feeb for letting us know. wishing all the best for teena :hug:
Hello Girls,
Been a long time since I have been in here but have been struggling to find the time.
I will try & keep up a bit more but I have speed read some of the posts so kinda know what's going on!
Anyway, hope everyone is good & that bubs are behaving themselves. Bronte is doing well - still has me up once or twice a night but I am loving her so much!
BBL anyway....
Thanks for the update Feeb.. Thinking of you Teena
Also meant to say this afternoon.. i had my carpal tunnel test today.. here I was thinking it was needles and stuff but it was litle electrode things on me and they shot a small bit of electricity up the nerve. It was a little uncomfortable but I wouldn't say it hurt.. I get the results in 2 weeks
and feeling like a bad bad mum :( When packing to come here to mums today I put her monitor on the couch. Now usually only one of us packs the car but we both did today and both of us forgot to put her monitor in.. this is the first time she has slept off it over night and at all since her scary turn 2 weeks ago.. I know deep down she will be fine but you still can't help but have that little niggle that says and what if...
Hope everyone else is doing well today..
Another quiet day in here, what's happening ?
Nic, :( at you forgetting the monitor. Perhaps ina way it will help you to relax alittle after seeing how well she goes tonight without it. KWIM ?
Fingers crossed your results come back good on your wrist.
MTT, good to hear that you and Bronte are doing well.
Lara, LOL at you and the spell. Be careful of the animals ;)
I am stuffed. Still have not had any sleep since my 2 am wake up. Abbey is asleep in her cot, she slept for at most 1 hour today so she must have been wrecked too. She is in her room atm, I needed to remake my bed, so I have to transfer back into my room and her other cot yet. Think I will wait until I am changed and ready for bed incase she wakes up.
I have to stay up for a while yet and my eyes are hanging out of my head. It's Noah's birthday on Saturday so I have made him some cupcakes to take into school tomorrow. Waiting for them to cool so I can ice them. Cake baking/decorating day tomorrow. I hope Abbey's a good girl and sleep's for me.
Sleepy vibes to all bubbas and mummy's tonight. I know when I eventually get there I will be crashing hard. Atleast until Abbey get's me up again......
Hi MTT glad to hear Bronte is doing well.
Trish i hope you get some good sleep...yum cupcakes Happy Birthday Noah....i just made walnut oat crisp and the house smells super yummy...gross on the power spew.
Nic Glad to hear your appt was full of scary needles :lol: hope you get good results back...:doh: on the monitor i am sure she'll be fine and like Trish said it'll help you relax a little tiny bit more.
Lara Noodle Soup What the?????? like the idea of a spell tho could do with one here.
LoriRae Glad to hear Ty is improving keep it up little man
Carrie Can i borrow Gabe for a couple of days so he can have a chat with Vicky...45 mins would be ok 2hrs what bliss
To everyone else Hi, hope you and your bubs and family are all well.
I am so over today...i think Vicky's teeth are moving as she is chewing her fingers like crazy, drooling, evil poos and today she hardly slept and threw 6 major tantrums i mean 30-45 mins of nonstop high pitch screaming and absolutely nothing would calm her not even booby :( i am so emotionally drained and sick of feeling helpless and sick of Alex being a cranky bum cause his sister is a cranky bum...oh well tomorrow is another day & IT WILL BE BETTER!!!!!!!!
hi everyone!!
So sorry have been MIA but things have just been way to busy, with relos here from overseas, Greek easter and Chrissie's Baptism last week! I've tried to read most of the posts but there's no way i could tackle personals!!
Hope everyone is well! Thoughts to Teena!
Chrissie had her 4 month needles yesterday and was such a little gem! She didn't even flinch when the first one went in! And a cuddle fixed the second one straight away! what a champ! She's still being real lazy with rolling over.. goes right to the side but doesn't go onto her tummy.. has gone back to waking at 3ish for food again..WT?! i want my 8-6 baby back!!! hehehe
xxx bbl
haroula - wat a busy time for you. hope it all went well.
Does anyone know if you can fall pregnant even if theres no AF at all. I know ppl who have had spotting and got pregnant but not with no sign at all.
Hi all,
Buzzie- yep I think you can. My step mum got pregnant again when he first was 2 months old with no sign of anything... I've heard that if you're BF and you go more than 4 hours without a feed or expressing you can ovulate? Not sure how true that is but.
OK I'm preparing to be shot down in flames here but we have started solids today. I know it's early but my GP ok'ed it and Ty really seemed to want and need it and I just couldn't keep up with feeding every one and a half hours during the day and every two hours at night anymore. I do feel a bit guilty- I was determined to wait off until six months and I know that part of the reason I've done it is my own selfishness. But it went surprisingly well. We only did a tiny half tpsn of Heinz Organic rice cereal with ebm and he loved it and wanted more. He didn't have tounge thrust reflex either- actually took it off the spoon with his lips and swallowed instead of pushing it back out with his tongue. No bad reactions and so far no belly aches so tomorrow I'm going to give it to him while we have our dinner.
Like I said, I know it's early but i feel like I've done the right thing.
Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend and those of you in Sydney are enjoying the beautiful day! We're off to a bbq at a mate's place :)
Oh and I forgot to mention we are both 100% better :)
LoriRae - good on you! do what you think is best! Sounds like all the signs are there for a bub who's ready! We have started on rice cereal too this week! only a teaspoon or two a day... i'm taking my queues from Chrissie.. she seems to like it.. opens her mouth and everything! i've also started giving her a little water with a sipper cup! she's gotten the hang of that real quick too!!
Buzzie - yep! you sure can!
LoriRae: Glad you guys are feeling better.. and you won't get shot down in flames for sharing a milestone with us.. Regardless of when we start our bubs on solids is not a thing to be judged. Might raise my eyebrows if he was under 4 months but hey you do whats right :) Glad he seems to enjoy it. enjoy this new milestone :)
Haroula: glad the needles went well.. I think it wss you on the last page that got needles.. :lol:
Lauren: yes you can get pg. Friend had baby who was 9 months old and it turned out she was 18 weeks pg .. She was breastfeeding and had no return of AF..
um.. Kinda forgotten what was on last page.
Had a fabulous day here. Went to the place called Kroombit Tops. A plane crashed up there in 1945 and wasn't discovered till 1998. We have beeen there a few times and each time I feel so strange walking amongst the wreckage. It is all there as it was found. Very interesting. olivia loved the super bumpy roads. We were so worried she would scream but nope the little darling just went to sleep :lol:
Hope everyone has a Great Mummy's day tomorrow.. Especially to the New Mummy's celebrating thier first Mummy's day :)
Buzzie - i was wondering the same thing, i did put a thread up on here a little while ago and apparently the only easy way to tell if you are ovulating is to keep an eye on your CM as trying to temp can be almost impossible.
LoriRae - Sweetie you are doing exactly what you should and following your baby....sometimes they are ready earlier than you might expect, we started Alex at 4.5months and he has never looked back. Great news that you & Ty are both feeling better.
Nic - that sounds like a interesting (but sad) place to visit...lol at little miss on the sleeping.
I crashed this arvo with Miss V and apparently DP took advantage of my snooze and got my beautiful little boy to make me a card for tomorrow....i cant wait to get it. We have rearranged our kitchen so Alex has a big table to sit at and a set of drawers with heaps of crafty things in it and he loves it....yipee i have finally found a way for him to keep himself amused. Miss V has been an absolute angel the last 2 days and while she is still not rolling :( she is spending 10mins or more on her tummy at a time now and is reaching out for the toys in front of her and even manage to drag herself forward an inch today.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
to all you lovely mummies i hope you all have a wonderful day with your family/ies
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY may everyone have a wonderful day...you deserve it!!!
Happy mothers day to everyone. Hope you all got spoilt as well. I havent had to lift a finger all day which is great - minus ethan. my older boys all made me gifts at school which was lovely.
Morgan - glad to hear miss v has been having good days. Are you free this friday?
aussienic - sounds as though you had a good day. glad your little girl went to sleep for you.
Question - i have a tommee tippee newborn sterlizer for the microwave. my problem is it didnt come with directions. does anyone know how i use it? Never had one before.
Hope everyone is having a lovely day, Mine wasn't going so great them Ethan and Isaac came inside with a lovely bunch of flowers they had picked for me :) Pic in my gallery
Olivia slept brilliantly last night.. 6:30 till 3.. best sleep ever and I even went to bed early at 9:30..
She is on sleep number 4 today. Little sleeps and as I typed that she woke up..
Jas: Can't help you with the steralizer. Maybe email the tommee tippee people and ask for a new copy of the manual..
ps did you know you don't have to steralize anymore.. is ok if you prefer to but you don't have to do it anymore.. Just wash in hot soapy water and rinse well :)
Hope everyone had a Fantastic Day today.
I got a lovely homemade card from Alex, Miss V slept an extra hour this morning so i got to stay in bed until 7am and :dance: she rolled today from tummy to back everytime we popped her on her belly
Anyway gotta go and Mr A is having a bad night and has just wandered in & told me to go to bed so he can come and cuddle with mummy all night
jas - 4 mins on high in microwave with about 200 mls of water depending on the size of the sterilizer more is better than less. :)
Just wanted to share..............
Alex had one more present for me last night................
vomit all through our bed :(:(:( SO GROSS!!!!! and then DP was outside sharing in sympathy.
Dinner was too rich for his poor tummy. He's all better today.
just letting you all know Olivia (aussienic) had another little turn this morning, Nic was walkign Ethan to school and Olivia had a vomit but she went all pale and funny again so nic popped into drs her :heartbeat: was between 60-100 but not steady so they called ambulance and sent them into gladstone, she is having a heart trace done to find out what is happening
:pray::pray:all is AOK with my little niece
:hug:for Nic
TOT: Jas if your steriliser is white with blue hinged lid its 200ml for 5min
Oh Nic i really hope they can figure this out this time...will be thinking of you & Olivia.
:hug: & :pray:
Thank you Rach for letting us know again - :hug: to you as well.
Rach, thanks so much for the update. As soon as I saw that you had posted in here I knew something had happened again.
I am praying that these Dr's can work out what is causing these turns and I hope little Olivia is ok. Huge hugs to both Nic and Olivia. :hug:
Have had a busy weekend with Noah's birthday and mother's day. Not enough time to scratch myself.
Abbey has cut another tooth, so that's 2 teeth in 1 week !! Poor love. Her chest is still very rattley so I am taking her back to the Dr's today. Teh has a cold too that she just can't shake so she will see the Dr too. I have caught this cold as well, but nah, I won't see the Dr. LOL. Typical hey.
Hope all mum's had a good mother's day and that all little people get better very soon.
Oh gosh Nic - thinking of you and Olivia :( I hope they find out what is causing it.
Trish - wow - 2 teeth! Kayla is 'teething' but I can't see anything! We had some shocking nights a few nights ago, but on Saturday she started chomping down on my boob and I decided it was time for some panadol that night, and she slept for 6 1/2 hours! OMG! Can't tell you how tempting it is to dose her up every night LMAO. But the poor little thing must've been waking up with sore gums before :( I did actually give her panadol again last night, and it helped a bit. I think she's gonna take ages with her teeth, Tallon was super quick, he cut 5 at once after his first tooth! Then four at once, then two at a time. But I never had time to work out if he was teething or not, coz after a couple of bad nights, they would cut through (no swollen gums or anything to let me know!) so the poor little bugga never got any pain relief for his teeth.
Sorry haven't had time to read through everything. Hope everyone is well and bubs are progressing nicely.
Oh - had a paed appointment today.. everything's good (I could have told me that.. and then charged myself $100! LOL) she weighs 7.1kg and is 66cm long.
Take care! :)
LOL Liz, I had to dose Abbey up a few nights there. She was in so much pain she couldn't even feed properly. So she'd get some panadol then some seda gel, then a feed.
Abbey was just back at the Dr's, she has chronic bronchilitis so she now has to go back and see the Paed, same idiot she saw when she was sick just after she was born. Can you imagine what crap I'm going to cop off him this time. GP reminded me that Abbey was due for her vaccinations. I told her that I wasn't going to get them done. She asked if I was sure and I said yes, perhaps some of them when she is 3 or 4, but I'm not 100% yet. She was going to update it on her computer. LOL.
I weighed Abbey last week and she was 6.5kgs. was 6.1kgs at 4 months so she's gained 400 grams in a month. Another thing for the Paed to whinge about. She's gaining and pretty much healthy, except for this bloody cough.
agh.. when I finally decide to brave it and go for a walk with Olivia this happens.. We are home..
They did a chest Xray and blood tests. they all came back normal. The Dr was great for a change. The pead is away so not much we can do at this stage. It wasn't as bad this time but still scary. Poor bugger screamed when they did the blood test and held her down for the Xray :( and she didn't like getting the heart trace done either. I felt so mean..
Anyways for now there is nothing we can do. Just monitor her closely and wait for the pead to get back to us with an appointment. If we haven't heard from by Wednesday I will get a refferal to the one in Rocky who we see for isaac..
thanks for the well wishers..
I do have good news though. Olivia slept 7:30 pm till 5am last night.. Such a great sleep for agreat Little girl :)
Will be back later to read over the days events... Feeling a little tired now
Nic, I was talking with my GP today about Olivia. Hope you don't mind. Have they checked out her bowels ? Apparently sometimes (can't remember what she called it though sorry) something like a blockage occurs and this can happen. Just a thought for you.
nope don't mind at all.. The only thing the Dr said is that when she vomits her insides are possibly being squeezed and when that happens it causes your heart rate to drop..
I will mention the bowel thing though.
I forgot to mention she was twitching again too. I am hoping they do an EEG to check for seizures , either way I will request it as it isn't invasive, Isaac has had 3 done now so just in case there is something going on that is related to isaac better to be safe then sorry..
But wouldn't she have to be spewing a fair bit for that to happen ? Or is she already ?
And yes I totally agree on the EEG too, rather find out now than later hey.
Today she threw up a decent amount and gagged a bit too.. When we first got checked over she was fine all giggly and such and smiling at the Dr.. She said it was prob nothing and we were right to go home.. SO I signed the form you sign and as we left I was just outside and I said to my friend she just doesn't look right. I lay her in the pram and just watched her for a second and she looked "odd" then she gagged and I picked her right up and friend went in and got the nurse who took Olivia from me and went right back inside.. It was then they decided no she wasn't right . She went very pale the second time...
She is very happy tonight. although I have noticed she wants to be held a bit but prob cus she has been held all day... So right now the miss is laying on the floor chewing her fingers after just having a lovely bath...
Hope all is well tonight Nic and that you and Olivia get a good rest.
Nic - I hope little Olivia is better soon.
Trish - same with Abbey, Maria had broncholitus when she was a baby and it was the scariest thing to see a little bubba go through.
well I have been back at work 2 weeks now and Sofia is coping well in the office. It is a bit noisy but she is still sleeping fairly well and getting lots of cuddles from a few staff mates. No teeth have appeared yet but I think they are moving so we have had a few sleepless nights.
Who from Sydney is going to the baby expo on the weekend?
Nic, I hope you managed to get some sleep lastnight. I can only imagine how worried you would be.
Louise, I am going to the expo on Friday with a gf. It's my only day free and I will only have Abbey so hopefully it goes smoothly. Esp as Abbey hates travelling in the car.
What a crap night here. Abbey was up of and on all night. We were up from 1 til 2.30 with Abbey coughing so hard she spewed everywhere through my bed and poor thing even pooed herself coughing so hard. So after I changed and cleaned everything up we were back in bed. Thankfully she went back to sleep but it was very restless with her coughing constantly and struggling.
Forgot to say that the GP thinks she will need to go onto steroids for her lungs. I am so hoping that she doesn't end up with asthma like me. But the way she is going .....
Best go, I have both girls in the lounge watching Fairies. If only Abbey would lay there quietly.
Alicia: Thanks. sleep was ok. could have been better lol.. Hows your Miss Olivia going?
Louise: Glad Sofia is coping well with being at the office. Its great you can take her with you.. How are you going with work and sleepless nights?
Trish: Poor Abbey and poor you. and ugh at the spew. I hope Abbey gets better soon..
semi crap night here. 12 till 1:30 and than 5 till 6. Olivia is happy though. She seems a little tired to me this morning.. But she didn't really get proper sleep yesterday
Well not much else to report. Have a wee bag on Olivia so hopefully we get a wee sample for the Dr and ake that in..
Hi everyone, just wondering if you would mind if i joined your group?
My name is Janine and I have a beautiful little boy, Jake, he was born on 19.12.2007
Would really love to get to know you guys and share the magical journey of being a mum :)
Look forward to chatting soon.
Hi Janine & Jake nice to meet you
Hi and welcome Janine and Jake :)
hello everyone.
Nic i hope Olivia's test results come back ok.
Hope everyone is going well, i really need to come on here more often.
I have been the naughty mum and started Summer on solids. She still has breastmilk as her main but around tea time she has a bit of Farex baby rice and pureed apple. She is more than ready for it - she leans all the way forward to reach the spoon and waves her arms. Cries too if i stop giving it to her and she isnt full. She really loves a bottle of water too after her bf. i really cant believe how quick she is growing up!!
