Babies Born December 2007 #5

[TeenaRose]

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..

teenarose- **** yeah i agree on the easysuits - easy my arse! i call them susah suits (susah is indonesian for difficult). i tried putting it on feet first one time and had to give up after contortions of mylo and switched to a traditional bonds jumpsuit (which i call an elvis suits coz it always makes me sing elvis songs). "Bond's easysuits - a Bastards Incorporated design".

i like the idea of putting our stats up too
here's mine:
Xtml, = Lara,
baby Mylo 1/1/08, 3.38kg
brother to Olly (2y.o)
DH Bonar, Brisbane, Q

[~Belinda~]

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!

[aussienic]

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

[Buzzie]

Ok guys working on the list, there are SOO many of us so it might take a while, once its done ill get it put in the moderators post at the beginning of each thread like last time, as for details, this is as far as i got on my own so if theres a missing part to ur info pls let me know, this is just rough atm, it will all be pretty when im done LOL and in order of babys DOB.

pls make sure its correct and if u want to add anything let me know,any suburbs too u want to add as i only have states for some might be good idea so ppl know where u are

Looks good so far.. there are so many of us aren't there?

[Harri]

well, we had our visit with the MCHN today! WOW.... has my baby grown!!!
We are now weighing in at 4.2kg and we are 54.5cm long!! so in 1 week 5 days we have gained 545gm!!! so all is well!!

kristie - good luck with Riley!!! when she sleeps during the day, it's in the family room were there is lots of natural light...i did that on purpose so she knows they are day sleeps!... so far not too bad! and we wrap her at night so she knows it's different!..

Lara - hey! my mum lives in Clayton which is next suburb up from Oakleigh!! We could meet you down there somewhere one day... maybe at Chadstone like we did with the other girl when we were PG?!!?

bindy - i miss everyone too!!

Lauren - real name is the same..Haroula

ohhh someone wants food... bbl!!

[Roryrory]

Hi all - have had a shocker of a day today - Ollie has been unsettled all day and screamed for most of it refusing to sleep. But luckily Mum came over and played with Flynn while I dealt with the little one.

Now I am hanging out for DH to get home.......

[TeenaRose]

Hi Buzzie nearly right but its Olivia Louise not Rose

[BekZ]

Teena - I think Loren is Olivia's twin. I am having the same issues. Get yourself a Hug A Bub sling. Honestly it is the only peace I am getting.

Rory - Sh@t of a day here too.

Buzzie - Will pm you details soon.

I am coming down with a cold I just feel like I am not coping atm. I just can't get anything done let alone give the right amount of attention to DD1. My D/h is constantly picking up the slack and I feel so guilty. Sorry for the vent.

[~Belinda~]

Haroula, I totally miss everyone. I don't get many personals anymore!!! I want our old group back!

Have a good night everyone xx

[alicia]

Bek, your DH is not 'picking up the slack', they are his daughters too (and his house, etc...). Why do we (women) think our hubbies are super if they change a nappy or do a night feed? I know that I am the same. I am trying to stop saying 'thanks' to my DH when he does the dishes or settles Livi or something like that because really it is stuff that needs to be done and he lives here too.
Oooh sorry that sent me off on a rant ;-)

I went to my first Mothers Group meeting today. It was ok. It is a big group (15) as there has been a baby boom in our area. Today was all just introductory stuff. Most of the ladies seem nice. I am looking forward to next week they are going to do a baby massage class. I already 'massage' Livi but it would be nice to find out how to do it properly. They are also going to do baby resuscitation one week so that will be good.

[alicia]

Oops I forgot...

Lauren - My details look good. Thanks for doing the list again :-)

Rory (and Melb chicks) - Maybe all us Melb girls could meet at the next Flemington market? They do have heaps of baby/kids stuff there - lots of clothes and bedroom decor stuff. I think the next one is Feb 24th.

[Buzzie]

OMG sorry Teena i must of been looking at someone else and put rose there by mistake.. LOL

[~Belinda~]

Alicia,I couldn't help but notice in your gallery that you have the BIG HUGS BOUNCER from Fisher Price for your little one. Madeleine has the same bouncer and lives in hers! Does Olivia?

I was wondering whether anyone else puts their Bub in a bouncer, hers vibrates and she sleeps so much in it. I hope that's ok!! I'm a first time Mum and all...

[aussienic]

Bindy: how I wish Olivia would live in her bouncer or swing or damn it anything but on me some days I don't think it matters too much but I think they (proffesional) prefer babies to at least sleep flat at night...

also "Haroula, I totally miss everyone. I don't get many personals anymore!!! I want our old group back!" Don't you like us

[aussienic]

oh and hugs Rory.. bad days suck....

and bek I agree with Alicia.. I know how you feel though as I am also the same..

Haroula: Chrissy is growing great!!

Well my little baby girl was 9 weeks old today.. how did that happen?? We got the biggest smiles today and I swear almost a chuckle.. I fed her tonight after her bath then gave IF nd then fed her again and she went to sleep so well.. I am going to try that twice a day to see if it helps with her tummy. I was reading up on colic and it sounds so much like what she has. Not sure what to do about it but deal with it as we are.. I tried the dummy this afternoon and boy oh boy that was apparently a big no no she was not impressed..
