Babies Born December 2007 #5

Xtml I hope it gets easier with 3, but I think that only works if your oldest is old enough to help LOL! If all goes to plan we will have number 3 just as Flynn turns 3 - I have heard of 3 year old girls helping with the baby but not 3 year old boys LOL! Nic, are boys a help?

Nic it will be fun having your bellybuddy to stay - I know I have made great friends with my June 06 girls

Bron, 6 weeks is the point at which bubs will usually show signs of colic or reflux (if they are going to get it) so that is a critical point from what I hear. Plus they also tend to "wake up" around that time and show a bit of "personality" IYKWIM? But don't panic - every stage passes soon enough.

I really should have a sleep now because Flynster is asleep. Ollie woke at 2 and 4 am and was unsettled in between, then Flynn woke at 6.30am and DH is working with a mate today so I am flying solo. I feel ok now (after 2 coffees LOL!) but I just know I will hit a wall this arvo if I don't nap now.......

Hi everyone
Been missing in action for quite a while now though I have been reading everyones posts I just been over whelmed with Olivia of late .... NO set routine here which is so frustrating she sleeps when she wants too wakes when she wants too and thinks night time is a wonderful time to scream and scream and scream IF doesn't work nor does the infacol (tried both) so for hours I am patting her back and moving her into different positions trying to move her wind... She just screams through a bath if I try to settle her that way massage does zippo and neither does cuddles and forget about dummy she wont havea bar of that when like that...

She is sleeping soundly now and I bet she wakes up and farts herself silly (sleeping on her belly) she always does when I can get her to sleep on her belly...

Ok going to attempt some sorta personals to much to catch up on

To everyone who asked if its easier with more than 2 kids whom are older the answer is NO well for me it isnt, even though my 2 older ones are able to fend for themselves they are acting like babies agian and want so much more done for them and talk about driving me insane if I ask them to do something for me I get the lip from the daughter and my son ignores me or says "Why why why" and he has been misbahving something shocking wont use his manners when he passes wind, denies it was him when he passes wind if he gets into trouble he says "What did I do" " I did nothing" over and over again when I have seen or heard him talk about frustrating...Trish please tell me they get better!!!

As for venturing out with all of them well its ok so far but honeslty can't wait for school to go back....

Nic - Glad your gorgeous Olivia is sleeping better these days and your trip out on sunday was good pity you all got burnt... As for the dummy my Olivia does take hers when she wants it so I wouldnt be without it I have no idea how to settle her if I didnt have it... I am glad though when she is asleep she will spit it out and not wake up looking for it.

Olivia is starting to talk to you well tech she is only really doing it for my dad will reallly get into it with him and only does a few piddley ones for me or her daddy, I swear she is starting to smile now though...

I have just started using my MCN nappies on Olivia and disp at night (haven't found a decent night nappy as yet) They don't look as bulky as the tradional fold up ones and seriously you would think she was in a disp no one has noticed as yet... When you factor the cost of disposables and how many you use per day MCN really do pay for them selves quite quickly...

Anyone get any of the So called "bonds easy suits" I got given one by my SIL and man poor Olivia was nearly bent in two trying to contort her into it and talk about UGLY suits what the heck was the designer thinking .... No more a easy suit than i am a millionaire If you have any what are your thoughts on them...

As for clothes for winter what sizes are you buying... Olivia is still in 0000 and fits into some 00000 still so not sure what size to grab for the cooler weather ...

Ok I think that is enough from me hope everyone is going along great..

Hi Girls, how are we all today?

I miss my Belly Buddies group, there are not too many of us in this group I miss you all....been emailing Dayl a bit and Kayla now and again, those girls are awesome but not in here often enough!!! Missing SueB too! Come on girls, get in here and let's start chatting like we used to!!

Had a good night last night, Madeleine fed at 10:30pm so only woke at 3am and 5.30am for a feed. Yesterday was not fun though, she grizzled most of the day and didn't really sleep at all - I think it's the Qld heat!

Nic, are boys a help?

Nic it will be fun having your bellybuddy to stay - I know I have made great friends with my June 06 girls

At this stage they are a help and to be honest they really have no choice when i am home alone.. Ethan simply has to help me get things if i am feeding Olivia or when I was feeding Jacob he would get things for Isaac kwim? I'm talking drinks or a peice or fruit or even opening the bathroom door if need be. As for packing toys... yeh well.. but I have started a new thing with the boys and I hope it works.. I have printed off good behaviour charts and they will get a money value written down for each behaviour such as playing with others, Looking after my toys ect ect.. Anyways I hope it works..

and I can't wait to meet my belly buddy. Certainly going to be fun with 6 kids in the house tho

Lauren: Will PM you now
