Babies born December 2007 #14

[Nikki87]

Hi All!

Summer is goozying all over the keyboard as i type. Nice. haha. Summer hasn't any toothy pegs either yet. Luckily, cause all she seems to like doing is chomping on her fingers! She now sleeps from 9pm to about 6am, feeds then back to sleep till 10am. I'm lucky i got a good sleeper cause i really need some beauty sleep haha

Summer is going on her first holiday in July - DH and i are taking her to Bali for a week. Just to lay by the pool and do a bit of shopping. Will be interesting to see how she goes on the aeroplane!

My goodness, since i have started her on solids (she is now having a baby bowl full of rice cereal and butternut pumpkin a night) she has put on about 800g in 4 weeks. She is now almost 7kg and is in size 0 cause she is wayyyyy to long and her feet dont fit in any of the sleepsuits haha REALLY FAT LEGS TOO haha

Anyone else's bub almost sitting up? Summer sits up and plays with a toy then when she really gets excited she will lose concerntration and tumble back.

Hope everyone is doing well and any sick bubbas and mummas are getting better!!!!

Gosh for once its me who can't keep up

Alicia: woo on 2 teeth. hope to see a pic soon. Love those first teeth. too cute

Trish: Happy 6 Months to Miss Abbey!!

Nikki: wow How much fun is that going to be.. Bali looks gorgeous!

um trying to think what was on the other page....... hi to everyone.. Hope we are all on the med from these sickies..

I went to the Dr today.. On prednisone and amoxil and my puffer when required. gone from hourly to 2 hourly in just half a day thanks to some strong drugs.. Nice to breathe again

oh and I got this festy cold sore right across my bottom lip. the Dr said to get zovirox but I thought that was just when you felt one coming so the Lady at the chemist gave me the most brilliant cream.. It is called Carmex. Seriously it is healing so fast after just 3 applications.. She said about 48 hours and it will be hardly noticable.. I know they don;'t usually last long but I have had the most swollen lip and so gross looking.. So while still noticable it doesn't look anywhere near as bad

Well watching Carsen and browsing ebay Night Ladies

[alicia]

Nic I would love to get a toothy smile but the Little Miss wont show her teeth to anyone! She smiles with her tongue out so that you can't see the teeth. I too am browsing ebay - hope we don't bid on the same thing ;-)

[aussienic]

oh I won't be bidding Alicia Spent too much money in there already

We got 2 lenses for our camera at a frction of the cost.. hoping they arrive tomorrow

[Lolli]

Ahh, so much going on in here. Will catch up tomorrow. We have had a very bad clingy day and I have steam coming out of my ears looking at my lounge sitting, baby ignoring dh.
Night all

[Trish]

Just a quicky from me. I will catch up properly tomorrow. Have to ask. When your babies cry do they have tears ? Abbey's eyes go red and watery but no tears falling as such. Can't remember when the other kids had real tears. Maybe it's just that I don't let her get that upset.

Kts, I plan on making Abbey's food up fresh for her. As I said "plan" doesn't mean that it will always happen though. And when I have to give her jarred food it will be from the organic range. I think it just tastes nicer for them. As for us as a rule no I don't buy the organic stuff, purely as a cost thing. We have a hard enough time affording groceries for all of us as it is.

Liz, pffft sleep, what's that. Hope you had a good day after all your sleep last night. I am stuffed.
YAY on Kayla's teeth too. Abbey has chomped on me a couple of times now too. Doesn't tickle, but it doesn't compare with a 1 year old and a mouthful of teeth either

Janine, sorry to hear that you've been sick too. Hope you are feeling better now.

Carrie, because Gabe is bf he really doesn't need any other fluids at all. BM is both his food and drink Abbey didn't have any solids tonight, she fell to sleep early. Am taking our start to it all very slowly.
Unfortunately we won't know if it's going to be an ongoing thing for Abbey until next time. IYKWIM, the fact that it has hung around for around 6 weeks now though isn't a good sign for her.

Nic, that prednisone works great hey. I was on that at Christmas when I went to hosp, as that's what Abbey has been on too. Ouch on the coldsore. I get shocking ones too. Touch wood haven't had one in a while. Although I have a few times gotten one right in the middle of my top lip, causing it to swell so bad, like over my bottom lip. Looked like a damn budgie, had a 3rd degree infection in it. Not a good look let me tell you. And freaking hard to have a cuppa with. Sorry my sook.

Alicia, are her top teeth to be seen yet ? I can see Abbey's just sitting there. Her top gum is swollen. But I think they are still a little way off yet.

Nikki, half your luck on the sleeps. I used to get them, back at 6 weeks, but not anymore. Lucky you on going to Bali too. Great idea to go now while Summer is small enough not to be too much of a bother on the plan or on your holiday.
Sounds like she is growing nicely. A little chubba bubba. Very cute.
Abbey can sit up for short ammounts of time, not really steadily, but I have only just started sitting her on the floor too. Got a couple of pics of her doing it on the weekend. Will have to post them.

OK, seems that I caught up. Trying to keep myself awake for the big brother late show - can't remember the name. I know that the minute I go and sit on the lounge to watch it though I will fall to sleep.

Have a good night girls. I hope you all get some decent sleep. I can hear Abbey in there coughing again. Hope she doesn't wake back up.
