Gee ,i thought i was lost,but a new thread was started,just wanted to thank Tinsal for your help,i think ive got one fussy little one this time around,none of the others were this fussy about their vegies.Oh well i will just keep trying.....lol. kids!
I'll be in pressie swap, although I agree that the big number one is coming around much too quickly.
Grobags - I have Olivia in her all in one jammies in the sleeping bag that I think is tog 2.5 (?). That was all she was in for awhile as her room usually stays at about 19/20degrees. The last few nights though I have been putting a blanket over her as well just to under her arms. Sometimes I worry about her poor little cold hands but she seems ok.
Does anyone elses baby throw their head around??? Olivia has started shaking her head left to right quite forcefully. My mum suggested that maybe it was because of her teeth (she is pulling her ears sometimes too) and I am just hoping that's what it is.
Will cath up better during the week sorry all. It's been a busy weekend. Sleep vibes to all.
Alicia: Is Olivia unhappy when she throws her head around? If she is just shaking it from what I have read and seen it is just a normal part of development For some reasons babies like it lol
Teena: Hi
My Olivia has 2 sleeping bags now. I still haven't worked out the TOG thing but the one I bought is for room temp of 19 or thereabouts. I have Olivia in a all in one (no singlet) and as this bag doesn't have sleeves I put a light blanket over the top half and a very light one all over.../ Her other bag I think is a home made one (friend gave it to me) it has long sleeves with a little bit over hanging for her hands I only need a light blanket with this one
Well another awesome night.. This is just brilliant 7:30 - 4:45.. Jacob woke me at 2 for the toilet but oh well..
I really need to get my act together and get on here more often!! Very excited because DH, Summer and I are all going to Bali in less than 2 weeks now!! Woo hoo! Fingers crossed she goes alright on the plane!
Little update on Summer ... 2 teeth now!! Has had an ear infection too ... argh. Wasnt very nice. Lots of pulling on the ears and high temp so i took her to the emerg. but they couldnt find anything wrong. I wasnt satsified so took her to a GP the next day and he said both her ears were inflammed and irritated. Just shows, MOTHERS DO KNOW BEST HA. Lol!
No crawling yet ... She absolutley HATES tummy time. Will whinge until she rolls over.
Anyone elses bub obsessed with mirrors?? Summer will kiss herself in the mirror. Its so funny to watch. I will leave her on the floor in my room infront of the floor length mirror and i spy on her haha very funny to see what she gets up to by herself!!
Good to see everyone is doing well!! I cant wait till Summer hits the 8kg, then i can turn her carseat around!! Only 200g to go!!
Hi everyone,
can't remember all the things I wanted to say to everyone, but just wanted to add that dh heard some stuff about the allergy debate on ABC issues recently - can't remember the exact program name, but there's a part of their site that looks at all recent scientific stuff (yes dh is a nerd, but a lovely nerd) & you should be able to find it if you serach the abc site. will ask dh for the link later.
anyhow, they found that after years of advising no nuts for pg/bf women in uk (based on no research whatsoever) they now think that's actually contributing to the increase in allergies. so now, advising to eat them. Australia never really had a standard 'national' restriction iykwim. obviously if you have a family history, you might do differently. will try to find info & post later.
ps, nikki, ella hated tummy time too, until she realised rolling onto her front gets her into more fun! summer'll do it when she wants to. have fun in bali. kissing mirror is cute. ella kisses me, & also i've started getting her & i to kiss the bear in the car (i've got a bear mirror so I can see her in the car) - she thinks it's funny & it's helping avoid the car-seat tanties & hopefully keep her liking rearfacing. She's not yet 6.5 kg so won't be turning for ages. Don't want to til she's 1 anyway...
Hi again,
This is the third time I've posted today I am staring to feel the cabin fever.. Ty's been sick for almost a fortnight and we've hardly left the house!!
Morgan- Thanks for that I'm a bit scared about the MMR. i can't remember if it's whites or yolks that is used in it, I was just curious to see if he got a reaction to it. It's good that he's grown out of it.
Lauren- Your ex sounds like such a tosser!!
Nikki- omg Bali! You lucky thing. Enjoy the warmth over there, hope Summer is ok on the plane. Ty is a bit obsessed with mirrors too, he laughs at himself and does this huge smile when he spots himself in one
ETA- Jus, I was looking for that article on the abc site before and couldn't find it... Ella kisses you? That's so cute, I wish Ty would do that. He pulls his face away of dh tries to kiss him- I think it's the stubble.
Lori: ouch on the cot banging.. Olivia doesn't do that yet thankfully but she gets sideways in the cot and kicks her music thing lol.. As for essentials oils I thought it was just in pregnancy you had to be careful? unless you were using them on bubs??
Liz: Hope you and Kayla feel better soon.
Morgan: sorry to hear you had a bad night.. Hope the pukeys stop soon.. I hate vomit.. Is alex still throwing up from that tummy bug ages ago or this is a new one?
Oh and jacob simply won't lay still long enough to fall asleep or even rest during the day.. I put a movie on for him now and he is bugging Olivia and won't even sit down...
Lauren: about your Ex.. I hope things work out there.. My SIL had troubles when she split from her husband and they were living in Tassie at the time.. He wasn't signing the papers to say she could leave with the kids. They got back together and moved back to QLd and she finally left him for good,.. anyways..
Nikki: I hope you have an excellent holiday.. That would be so much fun
Well the miss is lay across my lap at the moment screaming *sigh* she is tired and has a tummy ache . She hasnt done a decent poop for a few days but why she is having trouble I don't know!
We offered sme apple custard tday and ou would think she was starving lol.. she ate about a tablespoon and then had some water... We decided to start offering solids again to see how she would go and she was so excited when she saw her bowl and spoon..
Well Missy has stopped crying.. if JAcob would just sit down or go and play in his bloomin bedroom she would prob drop off to sleep...
Nic - i think this is a new bug, goodness knows where from though as we've been home for the last 3 days but he now got a temp too, 38.2, so back to the Drs this arvo. What a bummer Jacob wont have a quiet spell. Im sure Olivia is saving everything up and once shes up & about hes in BIG trouble
Nikki - have a great holiday very very jealous. Summer looks gorgeous.
I am still really busy with settling into our new house and I decided to give BB a break for a bit and spend time with DH in the evenings. Thats not to say that I have not missed everyone
Quick update on Loren. The little buggar is pulling herself up on furniture now!!! OMG I can't take my eyes off her when she is playing on the floor. I have started to do some sleep training with her because her sleep habits where going from poor to bad and I was going insane due to lack of sleep. So far it seems to be working and I feel like a human again. Loren is still not keen on solids but she will eat a couple of tabelspoons of food 2 per day. Foods introduced so far are pumpkin, sweet tato, banana, pear, apple and cereal. Next on the list is avocado!!!!
HUGS to all...I am going to scedule in some serious BB time in the next few days.
Nikki - Bali again! u lucky thing.. hope you have an awesome time! and summers ears are better by then. and yes.. get your butt back in here girlie!!
Lori - Yep hes an ar...e Ho...e !!! im thinking every way i can get around telling his family and nothing happening to ash.. maybe if i make his life hell he'll say good go, and his parents will stay away. mums gut feelings are not say anything,. soooo i dont know.
well im supposed to be going out to dinner tonight,. i sooo cant be bothered and ash is dfast asleep, i dont think hes very happy anbout his needles he might stay asleep now for the night!!
