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.

Trish: I recommend this cream.. Carmex.. I am amazed at how fast it worked.. It even smells all mentholy great for a blocked nose too

[kitten2b]

Nic - I hate cold sores as well, had one recently on my nose and it looked very ugh and was so sore, I will have to remember the name of your cream next time as the stuff I was using was useless.

Sofia has a new noise and it is very loud, not sure hoe someone so small can make such a squwalk, truly scary if you are not expecting it, and just a bit embarrassing when she was happily sqwalking away in the office today. No teeth here but chewing on everything so not too far away.

[Trish]

Abbey is a sqealer. She will lay there and squeal at the top of her voice. Very annoying after a while. Can someone PLEASE send the sleep fairies to my house. I swear I saw every hour in last night. It was a joke. I am going to drug the baby before bedtime tonight.

Of course she is fast asleep now, and I am up with Tehya !!

My gf that I was pregnant with last year is preg again. She msged me lastnight to tell me her EDD, is 10 Dec. There won't even be 12 months between the babies. And she has a little boy that would have just turned 2. I think I'd be suicidal with kids that close. She has another 2 girls too, a 14 and a 9 year old. Thinking blue for her (her 3rd one is a boy and she wants another) so she can stop having babies. She has caught up to me now and I don't want to have to go again

Blue vibes headed your friends way.. and yes less then 12 months might send me right over the edge too I think more being pregnant with a baby is what would do it lol..

Decent night here.. Olivia slept 7 til 3:30 and 4 till 6..I wish we could drop that 2-4am feed and just hve a 5"30 start to the day.. but one day it will happen..

Another tip I got from the lady at the chemist was to use Amolin cream on wind burn and after the cold sore has cleared up use the amolin for a few days to keep my lips moist Jacob has a yucky sore rash under his nose from the constant wiping so we have started with the amolin there too
