OMG i have been so busy and no time to post and everyone in here has posted madly so now i feel miles behind. I will try to do personals but sorry if they are all over the place or behind iykwim
Here goes-
Buzzie- I hope the BB is feeling better and its not mastitis. You arent wierd for looking forward to cleaning/sorting i really enjoy it if i have a few hours to myself.
MoM- Glad you had a nice weekend away. I know all too well how it feels to have a tantruming 2yo. Thankfully we have had a good day but they can be few and far between at the min.
Lori- Sorry to hear about the FB incident that really isnt nice of your DH. I hope you had a nice evening together even if you didnt get to go out.
Liz- You have given me the inspiration to be tougher on DD1 at meal times. I am so over her grazing all day and not wanting proper meals. She is becoming the biscuit and rockmelon queen.
Nic- No plans here yet for Molly's birthday and its only 3 wks away ARGH. I really need to get off my bottom and organise something. With DD1 it was a huge event but these days i dont seem to have the energy. Also so glad to here you are feeling better.
Kts64- Molly eats virtually anything now when it comes to solids. She even had curry (mild) mixed with her mashed potatoe last night and loved it. She loves any pasta with a tomato based sauce too.
Tinsel- I hope you are all feeling better.
Well as i said b4 been a few days since i posted just been busy. Molly is doing very well. Had her weighed today and my lil girl is now 8.7kg so slowly but steadily getting bigger. She is into absolutely everything now she is crawling and poor DD1 is been driven mad as she is used to just been able to move out of her way.
With regards to food for brekky Molly has a piece of toast followed by weetbix/yoghurt and fruit. Morning tea is either sultana's or fruit. Lunch is often a sandwhich she will have anything on it even ham and cold meats now. Dinner tends to be whatever we are having or if not i alway have fzn left over pasta and vegies etc. She love biccies/rice cakes or anything similar to graze on too if we are out. I have not tried any egg or high allergen foods as i am too scared. DD1 is anaphylactic to eggs and nuts so we dont tend to have them in the house iykwim.
Molly has had 2 new teeth come through in the last 2 days too so is a little clingy. Still sleeping well so i cant complain too much.
Well its 8.20 and i havent had tea yet so i best be off b4 i starve lol.
firstly, i hope everyones bubbas are growing as much as what Mirani is.
the anti depressants are going well, i have to go back to see my gp soon.
Mirani had her endochronolgists (sp?) appointment a few weeks ago and the chomosome test came back as XY. which means that she has the same condition as Tia, complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. (it was on the start of oprah today if anyone saw it). she has perfectly normal genetals on the outside, just nothing on the inside.
then on the weekend, she had such a high temp of 39.5 we tried to give her some panadol drops, which made her vomit instantly.
so when i was giving her a bath i noticed a hernia in her groin, so it was off to the hosp. they surprisingly were really quick at seeing her considering how busy they were. we were out in an hour!
so she has an ultrasound on the 27th and then surgery to have the gonads removed and the hernia holes repaired before xmas.
We explained to Tia that when she was in mummy's tummy, her insides didnt grow properly. and that when she was a baby like Mirani she had to have an operation and now she cant have any babies of her own. and then we told her that she could always adopt a baby as there's lots of babies out there that need love. and she totally understood which was great.
for the person who has mirani as their birthday pick, she's now a size 1. just thought i'd let you know.
oh and mirani eats just about anything. loves banana, curry, vegies and cheese, but she also loves her junk.
she's also furniture walking atm, so i reckon she'll be walking by xmas. and has 6 teeth with another 2 on the way.
Hoody: everything sounds like it is all well.. My boys get driven mad by Olivia too but at the same time they act like her sometimes and well 4 kids crawling and yelling can get pretty loud lol
Michelle: Great to see you in here.. on the girls.. That has to be hard. Not really sure what else to say but good luck with whatever needs to happen..
Mirani sounds like she is doing just great. In size 1 wow All the bubbas in here are just getting so big. Olivia is in 0 now.
Miss Olivia woke up at some stage last night. no idea when except she was in my bed and I got to stay in bed till 6 :O amazing and Isaac and Jacob are still asleep.
Off shopping for Olivias Birthday presents today no idea what to get her
Michelle - good to hear from you, How hard it must be to explain to ur girls. I have always wanted to adopt, i think its great the way you told her other babies need love too
If you had another baby and it was a boy, would there be similar issues??
Hi everyone else, boobie much better today! feed ash HEAPS! thankgod i was so worried about mastitis!
Hi all,
I am just so tired. Things are really falling apart here, in all aspects (wiping away the tears from the keyboard as I type). I just can't help thinking if I just got one or two good blocks of sleep everything would be so much better. Ty was up 6 times again last night, for no particular reason. Dh and I were so busy dealing with his screaming fits that we didn't even get a chance to talk. What am I going to do????
Sorry, too depressed fo personals. At my wits end here. It's been almost eleven months since I've had one decent sleep and I think I'm losing my mind.
Michelle - glad to hear you are doing well and the meds are going well. Not sure what to say about the CAIS. I just googled it and am amazed that the incidence of complete AIS is about 1:20,000. I had no idea and wished I saw Oprah now to get more of an understanding. It sounds like you are straight up with the girls so I'm sure in the years to come if they want to talk about it, they have a wonderful mummy who will be there for them.
Nic - sounds like you had a pretty good night. Have a great time shopping. I have been thinking about birthday and christmas presents so am looking forward to getting to the shops.
Hoody - Your poor little DD1 I bet Molly loves chasing after her. Sounds like she is doing well.
MoM - I am so not looking forward to toddler tanties. Little miss gets so frustrated now I can just imagine her cracking it. Hope your car gets better soon.
Lori - did you have a good night anyway? Maybe you could plan it for another night?
Buzzie - how is the boob today? I hope it hasn't gotten worse.
All these teeth coming through - wow. Monique still doesn't have any but I can see the white blister on the top of her gum. Will be big news when it finally comes through
Lauren - Glad your boobie is feeling better. Good on Ash for fixing it
Lori - Big, big hugs for you. I know how awful it is when you are looking forward to just a little 'normal' time and then it is taken away As for your dh and the fb thing, it is best to confront him straight away and discuss it. I had a bad experience with my ex using his mobile to flirt wit other women.
MoM - I am not looking forward to the tantrams starting here!
Michelle - Wow it sounds like you are dealing with things really well. I am sure because you have discussed it with them from a young age the girls will deal with it much better.
Tinsel - We can see 4 white bumps on Olivia's top gum but they just wont pop through. And I have to say that I never really understood the teething poos before but now I get it - they are horrible and every nappy has one now adays!
Speaking of poos we had the mother load yesterday. I was out at the supermarket and suddenly smelt something absolutely awful! But I finished the shopping (pretending I couldn't smell anything) then went to change Olivia in the car. Well it had escaped out the back of her nappy and was up to her shoulders (I am not kidding)! Then as I was trying to clean her up she swivelled around and wiped her bum on the back of the seat int he car! (I am really hoping that it is not going to smell like baby poo when I get into the car later ) In the end I had to drive her home in just a nappy and spare t-shirt, throw her in the cot, get a bath ready and put her straight in. She thought it was great of course
Birthdays - we are going a bit overboard maybe... We have organised a bbq at the park with friends and kids/babies the weekend before Olivia's birthday and then a bbq at home with all the extended family the weekend after her birthday! Seriously it seemed like a good idea at the time but now I am stressing about all the organising! Have decided to go with a theme for the park party (so that it doesn't jsut seem like another Christmas bbq). I am making a ladybug cake, we have ladybug balloons and last week I bought a ladybug playtent from ebay that the babies can play in
Louise - We have got a swimg for Olivia which we are going to hang in a tree in the backyard. Her playtent is also part of her present. Personally I think she would prefer a cardboard box!
Lauren- We co-sleep for about half the night (until I can't be bothered getting up out of bed anymore to settle him). It doesn't matter if he is in his bed or ours, he still wakes up. Sometimes to scream, sometimes to play, sometimes to feed. Most nights he spends at least on ehour screaming and one hour playing. I can never figure out what is wrong with him. We've tried everything- nightlight, radio, toy in the cot, shirt I've been wearing in the cot, sleeping him in our bed all night (it's getting dangerous to do that but because he tries to crawl over the top of us and off the bed), leaving him in his own, feeding him, ignored him, 'comfort settling', rocking to sleep, singing to sleep, reading to sleep, stroking his face. Nothing works. He is up every two or three hours every night
Something has to be done- I am tired all day, he is tired all day, I have no energy, he is a cranky pants and it'd affecting dh's and my relationship. Something has to happen here, but I don't know what. Cruel as it sounds, we have left him to cry it out a few times with the same result- he screams hysterically for hours on end (like, two hours straight- no exageration).
Just don't know what to do
ETA- Alicia that is funny- don't they always prefer the box the toy came in??
Lori - i think it sounds like u were just blessed with a baby who doesnt sleep. I dont think your doing anything wrong, or anything wrong with ty, Maybe its just the way he is and he needs to grow up a little to change.. My lovely sister kelly (sorry kell) never slept a night till she was 18months. Yet i was a good sleeper, so i think unfortunatly, it might just be his body. Her daughter could cry for 2 hours straight too when she tried the control crying thing. I would just try to get through each night knowing one day he'll start to sleep :s sorry i know that doesnt help, but it might help you accept rather keep thinking your 'failing' all the time as its very obvious your trying absolutly everything...... anyone correct me if im wrong here.
Maybe talk to your GP about giving Ty sleeping medication? I know it might sound extreme, i dont know your full situation, but i know someone who was suffering alot and had to do that, dont know too much info about it tho.
Alicia - Ash has a swing too and Loves it! i had to get one after he loved the one at gymbaroo.
Kitten - i wouldnt have a clue wat to get a girl lol - oh but depending on how much u want to spend, thoes play houses and kitchens are awesome. we have them at mothers group and all the kids swarm around it.
[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Hi ladies I will try my best to cover everyone,lol,feeling uder the weather today,maybe getting a cold.
Nic- your noisey house and kids sounds like my place,sometimes you cant here yourself think,lol.hope your well.
Hoody- I know how Mia feels with her little sistae off and crawling now,you have to learn to have eyes in the back of your head,our 2y/o has to watch his step,now that his little brother is on the move to.I know he doesnt like Kieren playing with his cars in his bedroom,trying to teach him to share ends up with a tantrum,lol.
Buzzie- glad the booby is feeling better,theres nothing worse than sore boobs,lol and mastitis gets you to the point of crying.
Tinsel,alicia-All the other girls with older kids will volch,tantrums are no fun at any age,especially when they go on,and on........ alicia,your birthday get together sounds really good,hope you get nice weather for it,we have crappy cold rainy weather atm,hope it gets better,we want to do a bbq at home.
Michelle k-sorry to hear what your going through,hope everything goes well for your family.
Lori-gee hun,sounds like your having a crappy time of it all lately,Iam not sure i can offer any advice you seem to have exhausted all avenues,here hun.I have had days were i have left Kieren to cry too,but he gone off to sleep. I hope he grows out of it,soon for your sake and you get some shut eye,theres nothing worst than not enough sleep,i get really crappy with everyone. ( message me if you need someone to talk too,I live in Parramatta if you would like a break and to meet for a coffee.) might be good for the bubs too,lol. hope you are feeling better,Lori.
Kitten 2 b

buzz, the cais doesnt affect boys, its just harder to have them! with each preg i have a 3 in 4 chance of having a girl! i told dp before that i would love to try for a boy but in a few years when mirani's a bit bigger.
