Quick hello to everyone, all pretty tired here, dd finally went to sleep (has only slept 40 min today) so I'm knackered. Skimming everything, sorry my brain can't retain anything to give personals, but I'm feeling for you all with all the different things going on.
will look out for ACA.
Trish, I think Abbey is gorgeous! You should win that comp! Can I ask where you did her baptism invite - it's so lovely!
Sleepy vibes to all. My word we need them here. What I would give for a whole night's sleep. And in fact, for dd to actually go to sleep anytime at all during the day!

Jus, I did Abbey's baptism invite myself Looks nice hey. Helps that I had such a gorgeous photo to use too I think.

I am hearing you on no day sleep too. It's so very draining to have a baby awake all day. There is only so much you can do to entertain a 6 month old too.

Sending the sleep fairy to you too huni.

trish - i got the walker today, ahs likes it but wont stay too long in it. wen hes using his legs more im sure ill be fun!
is that a pic of abbey in ur sig??? she looks sooo big now!

[Trish]

Lauren, as he gets bigger I'm sure he will love it. Prob still a litte too young for it just yet.

And yep, that's Abbey. There is a bigger copy of it in my gallery. She is still very petite, but getting bigger slowly

Lauren: We get ACA. Hopefully it is the same all over Aus.. Will definitly let you know! Glad Ash liked his walker.

Morgan: Good to see you are around. I hope those sickies leave soon!

Rory: Good luck at your new job.. Enjoy your 2 weeks off Happy 6 Months to Ollie for yesterday!!

Janine: What an awesome sleep! Way to go Jake. I hope your little man isn't as stubborn as mine. Although if Jacob maintains this stubborness he might well just do great in life.. If you know what I mean. He knows what he wants and when!

Alicia: I am so making them with choc chips Isaac has put in a request for Apple Muffins so going to give the same recipe a try but with pureed apple..

Trish: OMG Abbey is just way to cute! Love the pics!! (will update on kids app below)

ok today was long .. We left here at 9 got to rocky around 10:30.. Had lunch with mum and then went to the hospital.. Our Appointment was at 1pm. We got in just after 1 and finally got out at 3:30. Olivia is fine.. Dr is 99.99% convinced nothing is wrong with her heart *phew* She did an ECG which was perfect and everything else is perfect. We have been given the go ahead for needles and solids so a big week coming up for Olivia .. I feel more relieved after seeing this Dr as we really trust her. I do have a note to give to any Dr seeing Olivia if she has another turn though requesting her Blood sugar levels get tested and an ECG done while she is having a turn..

Isaac on the other hand is getting an MRI done. I am a little worried as I really thought today she would just say she was happy the drug was working for Isaac but now she wants this done. It will take any doubt out of our minds though so in a way it is a good thing. It is always in the back of our minds that there might be something in there that shouldn't be so crossing all it comes back clear and we can feel better kwim?

Other then that today was good.. We were happy with the appointments.. Olivia isn't going back unless something happens and Isaac goes back on the 10th July..

Oh and if it stops Raining we are going camping tomorrow.. If not we start solids ..

Hi Everyone,

I have been MIA for a while now. Not really sure why but I just don't get time to post much plus things have been really over whelming for me atm. Doc thinks I have pnd.

I have been reading posts but to be honest I haven't been able to keep up. Everyones bubs sound like they are progressing really well.

Anyway I won't be around much because we have sold our house and bought a new one. We have really outgrown a tiny first home and thankfully we are moving to a slightly bigger home in a better area. I can't wait!!!

Miss Loren is doing great. She is almost fully crawling and is vocalising heaps. I still can't get a good sleep out of her during the day but her overnight sleeping is improving. I have tried solids but she hates rice cereal, so I am going to leave the solids for a couple of weeks. We are all sick at the moment. Loren and I have really bad cold and coughing.

Hugs to everyone

Hi all,
Nic- Glad to hear your appointment went well.
Jus- As you knwo, I know what you mean... what I wouldn't do for a full night's sleep. After rego's are paid Tony has promised to take me to a hotel for the night... room service, Foxtel and at least 8 hours sleep... heavenly.
Trish- How cute is Abbey? Glad she likes her rice cereal.
Alicia- Ty gagged on pumkin too, and shuddered at the taste of it. Gagged tonight on sweet potato but still wanted to eat it...hmmm...
Morgan- hope you all feel better soon.
Lauren- A walker, how cool, I am seriously thinking of investing in one of those, I reckon Ty would love it.
Thought I had the weekend off work, and I've just discovered I'm working Sunday *sigh* was looking forward to heading out to the markets. Oh well.
Our mum's group had the most awesome picnic in a park today, it was so lovely. Nice weather, well behaved bubs, lots of food...
12 more days and I've reached my first bf'ing mini goal of six months. After 2 weeks of crying every time Ty layched on and 8 weeks of nipple shields, I am very proud of me
I have a very whingy grumpy pork chop on my hands at the moment. And his night sleeping is getting worse and worse, especially for the few hours before I go to bed when he's in his own cot. I've been told by the CHN that maybe it's a sleeping and settling problem not a feeding thing with all the night feeds, but he actually seems really hungry and it's hungry crys. After a feed he's straight back to sleep, so I just don't know. tried all the rewrapping, dummy and patting him to back to sleep stuff but he gets really frantic unless I feed him, so maybe he just likes his food?? I just cannot do 'comfort settling' (what a nice term for controlled crying!!) so I think it's a few more weeks of broken sleep for me at least....
Night all
