Babies Born December 2007 #9

Hey Trish - I could have a solution re Abbey's cake, Sofia's special cake was a fake cake - iced square foam with pink frill around the edge and a little baby on a cradle on top, I did not pipe her name on it at all. If you are stuck you can have the foam cake and I can make a new topper for you (I am keeping Sofia's). That way you just need to order a simple slab cake for the party. - I have just upload a couple of pictures to see it.

kitten2b - They are beautiful pic's the gown is gorgeous & the pic of maria in the fairy costume is a beauty.

alicia - wtg great sleep - so jealous

Trish -

sending a swift kick probably wouldn't make any difference to his behaviour tho.

Louise: Gorgeous pics!!

I have actually managed to get housework done today! Taking a lunch break at the moment. Olivia was sound asleep in her swing before so I went and had a shower and decided to wash my hair.. Poor thing when I turned the taps off she was screaming and screaming

she had done another mini poop I guess if she keeps this sort of pooping up I will be ok with it.

Althought she is a little grumpy today.. better go give her some cuddles

morgan78 · February 24th, 2008, 10:04 AM

what is it with babies & having a shower - Vicky does that to me nearly every time - now i have one at 5am before DP goes to work.

**aussienic** · February 24th, 2008, 10:19 AM

Usually I just shower when she is awake and happy but I went while she was asleep. Silly me lol...

Miss O is sound asleep now

**alicia** · February 24th, 2008, 08:01 PM

Louise that gown is gorgeous! I also love the idea of a fake cake, it's not something I had considered.

This morning (after her record sleep) Olivia did her first projectile vomit ALL down my front! It was definitely not one of those beautiful baby moments I had dreamed of

but hopefully it wont happen too often

My sister just dropped around with 4 beautiful white and pink summer dresses that she had bought for Olivia. They are for 12 month olds so hopefully she will fit into them next summer. She now has quiet a bit of stuff for next summer that family members and friends have bought her in advance, maybe I wont have to buy much.....

Anyway hope you all have a good nights sleep and the bubs all behave themselves. Night.

Hi ladies,

sorry i haven't been on in a few days....

Some news on us! We are dong well and have now switched over to FF full time.. it just wasn't happening and i found my milk had gone all "watery" don't know if this makes sense to anyone, but a full bottle wasn't lasting her 2hrs!! Anyway, so far so good with FF, however she has decided that half a bottle at each feed will do her fine!!

not happy about that!

Those who are FFing, do you have a set routine?? like so you feed when bubs wants it, or by the hr??..... and are their poos sometimes dark green!!??

Lara - OMG at you possibly being PG!!!

poor Mylo! I've noticed ours gets hot too! and i have dark tinted windows and a sun shade!! i must be more careful!! Hope it's getting better and he's not in too much pain

alicia - lol at Olivia finding her foot! what a cutie!! As for buying stuff, when she's older YOU WILL GO CRAZY..like me!

louise - yeah we are trying to organise Chrissie's BIG FAT GREEK CHRISTENING too!! LOL glad yours went well! we have set a date at least..3rd May! now we have to find somewhere for FOOD!! which is always the hardest part!! i have yet to go to a Christening where the bub wasn't crying! LOL
Gorgeous pics!!

trish - sorry to hear that Brandon is still causing you problems!! I hope it is just a phase of rebelling and he grows out of it quick smart before he gets into real trouble!

nic - hope you are finally getting some sleep!!

**aussienic** · February 25th, 2008, 07:55 AM

Haroula: has it been hotter down your way? that can sometimes make it appear watery. Good luck though. You have to do whats right for you. As for FF when i was FF Ethan he would have half a bottle then 90 minutes later have the other half. boy it was frustrating but by about 6 months he stopped doing that. Come to think of it Isaac did something similar with his EBM. Might be a bottle thing

Lara: How is little Mylo's leg?

Alicia:

at the puke! When i was in the shops once showing a 3 weeks old Isaac to a friend he decided to do that. Was very icky.. A friend of mine just dropped off more clothes for Olivia yesterday too. Her Daughter is a Dec 05 baby so I am getting lots of seriously gorgeous clothes.

Had a pretty crap night! Olivia didn't sleep much yesterday but she finally pooped yay then she went to bed at 7:30 but was stirring a lot and woke at midnight? midnight for goodness sakes

then she was awake again by 4:45am *yawn* Simon is making me a coffee as we speak

I have cleaned out my fridge already and have a few other jobs to do but coffee and cake was calling

Have a great day girls

**alicia** · February 25th, 2008, 08:02 AM

Haroula I feed Olivia when she is hungry which is about every 3-4 hours depending on how much she ate at the last bottle. I just try to make sure she gets 5 feeds a day. MCH nurse said dark green poo is normal for FF bubs (Olivia's is usually dark green with yellow bits in it - lovely

)

We had a great sleep here again, 9pm - 5:30am (which is when hubby gets up for work so that is ok). She then went back to sleep from 6:30-9. Now she is chatting away on my knee and trying to fit her fist in her mouth!

Nic I cleaned out the fridge yesterday. Hate to admit i but there were some things growing in there that should never have survived so long! Sorry Olivia is having a hard time with her poo and sleep. Hopefully you will get a nap today.

**Harri** · February 25th, 2008, 10:48 AM

nic - nah it's actually been cooler these days...
hmm cleaning out the fridge.... i need to do that too... one day.... also need to sort through my kitchen cupboards! ARG! hate that job!

alicia - yeah that's what i do too!..

**xtml** · February 25th, 2008, 12:35 PM

thanks for the sympathy everyone; Mylo's leg is healing really well thanks nic, i don't think it's hurting him at all. it's scabbed over nicely and he'd let me know if it was ouchy to touch.

Haroula, glad melbourne has cooled down, we'll be there friday for a week. i guess better pack everything - umbrellas, winter coats, sunscreen, bikini, etc... a bit like brizzy at the moment. sorry to hear you have lost the battle of the boob, i feel like, as a group, we supported you more to go on to formula than we did to persevere with breastmilk... and for that i'm sorry. o well, live and learn.

today was playgroup and i couldn;t bear to miss it, even tho it was raining and we didn'tn have a car or pram (both DH took to work), so i put mylo in the bb sling and olly put on his shoes (the ones that wer'ent in the car, or in the bath) and we walked up the hill to the busstop, and fromthe busstop to playgroup (and back again). he managed a 10 minute walk each way without asking to be carried or letting go of my hand. and didn't run off while we waited for the bus, even tho he wanted to. it took alot of encouragement and engaging him with silly games/songs etc to get him there and back safely, but we did it without any tears. I'm so proud of him, he's all grown up at 2!

**Michelle_k** · February 25th, 2008, 06:58 PM

hi everyone,

glad to hear that all these babies are getting chubby. gotta love a lil' chubba.

Mirani had her needles and drops last week, and for the past week her nappies have been rank. poo and milk vomit, i can deal with, vomiting chunks, i cant. but i tell ya, these ones have made me dry reach. i heard somewhere that its a side affect from the rotovirus.

she is so big at the moment, she's into a size 00 already and weighs a tonne. it looks like she's going to get her bottom teeth soon. i can see a touch of white on her gums. she hasnt started rolling or found her feet yet, but loves chewing on her hands and smiling and talking to evveryone.

sleeping at the moment is brilliant. sleeping from around 10.30pm to anywhere from 5am to 8am. last night it was 9.45pm to just after 7am. and it was great, it was the first time in 11 weeks i have gone to bed before 11 and not had to get up again.

trish: with brandon, is it attention he is wanting or is he just being a royal pain the the butt? instead of noah and teyha being jealous maybe he is?

take care everyone,

**Liz** · February 25th, 2008, 08:43 PM

Hey girls.. will try and catch up shortly - just wanted to pop in and show off my new av! hee hee

**aussienic** · February 25th, 2008, 09:03 PM

Hey Michelle. sounds like what Miss O did after her Rotavirus vaccine. Still up in the air about doing the 4 month one.

Liz: Great new Av.. looks great

Well I have sore wrists here tonight. I read something about holding them up in the air will help ease the pain and it did.. when i feel the pain coming on I just hold my hands up in the air

my poor Dh tonight.. He was on the phone to his Gran and he was holding Olivia. she has this terrible habit of flicking hersel backwards. Now I am always aware she does it but DH didn't have his reflexes on the ball tonight and she flicked herself back really hard thankfully he caught her but she landed heavily on his arm and was pretty much unsettled for the next hour. I hope she didn't hurt her neck or anything. I gave her a lovely rub but she just wasn't happy.. She was ok by the time she went to bed though. Poor bubba. dh felt so bad.. He kept saying Im so sorry baby girl...

Well Im off.. Skins is on. Does anyone else watch it?

**kitten2b** · February 26th, 2008, 07:05 AM

Nic - hope your wrists feel better soon. I am having pain on and off, but when I have it it is so hard to do anything with the kids.

Michelle/Nic - Sofia is due for her 4 month needles this week, not looking forward to them, I have just got her into a lovely routine, she is sleeping beautifully at night, and now they are due. I suppose I am worried because after Maria's 4 month needles she never slept through the night again until she was 18 months. I have to tell myself that they are 2 very different girls, lets hope so.

**aussienic** · February 26th, 2008, 08:09 AM

I hate needles. i know they get over it quickly but still... I hope Sofia is very different.

My wrists aren't any better today. I took some panadol at 5 and it is wearing off now. Debating taking anymore. Not really sure what to do really. I found all the panadol did this morning was just ease the ache a bit. But I also went back to bed at 6 till 8 with Miss O so I don't know if it worked kwim? *sigh* It is starting to get me down

I posted a thread on it with some qn's but noone hass replied yet. I read something last night about it possibly being associated with an epidural and that makes sense seeing as I have back pain where the epi was...

anyways.. Olivia slept great last night 7:30 - 4:45

and she slept for 4 hours in the afternoon too

**Buzzie** · February 26th, 2008, 09:09 AM

Hi everyone,

nic - hope ur wrist gets better!

kitten - Good luck with the needles, heres hoping the girls will be different

michelle - hope those teeth dont come too soon! I reckon Ash will be an early teether.

Alicia - re. poos - Ashs poos are green and bits of yellow too, so maybe its not just FF bubs.

Well finally I have been able to sort out all my pics, but rather putting them in my BB gallery I have created a website.. ive put the link in my signature if anyone wants to take a look

Ash has been fantastic here... Im just loving the swing and getting so much more done now! Yay!
Seeing another mums and bubs movie tomorrow.. yippie! lets hope i get another sleeper! hehe

Have an awesome day all

**alicia** · February 26th, 2008, 09:10 AM

Morning all,

Nic sorry about your wrists, I really don't know much about it but it sounds awful and I can sympathise with it hurting to pick up your bubs.

Not such a good night here. Olivia only ate a small bottle before bed, at 10pm, and so didn't sleep as well as usual. She wasn't really awake, just restless and grizzly so it kept me awake (from 3-5am).

I have an appointment with my surgeon today, hopefully it will be the last, or next to last, time I have to see him. He is a really nice guy but really I don't want to see him anymore iykwim.

Lara are you up for a Melb meet up while you are here?
Rory, Lauren. Haroula what do you think?

Better got going. Still in my pj's at the moment
