KayleeF: I watch it hehe, Dh teases me' about it :)
Babyluv: Stupid health nurses who don't listen to you and put your baby on the wrong dose... it's so good that she is doing so well!!!! darling the weight will come off!! I had been eating healthy n walking n stuff an didn't see any loss from the first week until now!! so it's taken 5 weeks for me to lose anything other than the fluid n stuff. And now I am having bacon and eggs for breakfast (yes at 11:18... baby gets to eat first) so I am probably going to need to go for a walk! HAHA
Kaylee: Don't go off wheat unless you absolutely have to. If Liam is constantly screaming (and I mean like 4-5hrs agt a time where he will not settle) then he is probably fine with wheat. The reason I have gone off it is because everytime I have it, I have massive issues with Charlotte. I am still keeping small amounts in my diet because i want her to build up a tolerance and as she gets older, her tummy will start to be able to handle more.
Oh and I hear you on soy tea! It's feral!!!!! I have been considering just sneaking one cup of tea with skim milk!! I might do it first thing in the morning right after she has had her zantac.
Oh and with cheese, did you know cheese has no lactose??? So you can eat as much cheese as you want! Both me and my nephew are lactose intolerant (my nephew is REALLY bad) and we both LOVE cheese... he can eat as much as he wants and does't get sick, but if he has like 1/4 cup of milk, he will be vomitting and have diahorrea for like 2 days.
So I have decided (thanks to Shelly too) that I am going to give Charlotte zantac consistently every da, cause I have only been giving it to her on the bad days but really, that's kinda useless.. so I am going to give it to her every morning and see if that makes any difference.
Oh and I like good chef bad chef too!! But most the time, I want his food not hers! hahaha...
OMG Yay for Sararach!!! God I hope this ones a sticky one for her...
Babyluv: wow that's fantastic sleep! Here's hoping she keeps it up. Don't stress about your no weight loss week, I actually had a week where I went up a kilo!! How does that happen with eating well, excersize and BF!!! I'm trying to convince myself it was just muscle gain lol...
Bex: haha don't you love it how they make liars out of us! So good that.she let you relax and enjoy your catchup tho, how was brunette and the twins?
Kaylee: argh I hate having overtired baby! It's so hard hey, G has been not letting me put her down much lately and so not having good sleeps during the day, makes it so much harder by the arvo! I give G water sometimes too, mainly coz she sweats alot tho and if I give her milk when she's not hungry it comes straight back up!
Haha I was wondering what snot blocks were too, they sound alot yummier now I know! I watch good chef bad chef sometimes too and I agree, I want what he makes and hardly take notice of what she makes lol
Had weight and length done again yesterday, now she's 5640g and 57cm, so half a kilo and 2.5cm in 10 days! Oh and apparently nobody told Georgia she's only 6 weeks old and she thinks she's much older, yesterday she had her dummy and took it out of her mouth with her hand, sneezed, and put her dummy back in and went to sleep!! WTF!!! She also gave me very disapproving looks at dinner time when I was feeding her formula coz I'd had a couple of ciders! Funny girl! The look really was priceless I should have taken pics!
Hope everyones having a good weekend so far... :)
Little mrs: You certainly have a character of a child!! LOL. Maybe Georgia is going through a growth spurt so she is unsettled? Go baby! That's some good gain!! The twins are SOOOO cute!! Jack is much bigger than Zara, and last week they got weighed, Jack is 4.3kgs and Zara is 4.1kg I think... Jack is the same weifght as Charlotte but looks soo much smaller!! He is longer and skinnier where as I have a short fat baby! LOL. Brunette is looking fantastic!!!! It was so lovely to meet her and Shelly.
Ok right now I have a super boob!! Hahaha... My left side is massive! I so reckon she is growing because I am back in the porn star boobies where one goes hard and massive! LOL. Should I maybe start feeding her from both boobs cause I think feeding from just one each feed is making me produce more and more milk. Or is that ok? I guess i can always just build up my EBM stores (I have been so lazy!).
Bex: I've had super boobs last night too, and have been slack on the expressing coz I can only do it at night, they don't have a chance to fill up during the day! I wish we could just turn them on and off as we needed lol, I hate having full boobs at night and having to get up and express when G's sleeping and I should be too!!! She slept from midnight thru to 5 this morning and I was in pain!
Does anyone else's boobs ache alot even when they're not full? Mine have been so sore lately!
YES!!! All the time! I hate it, especially after a feed for some reason! They are constantly sore. I am putting it down to the fact that she is going through a growth spurt and so I am producing more milk...
My nipples are sooooooo sore too! They are all pink when the rest is a pinky brown so you can see how hard she has been sucking them!!! It hurts to have a bra on...
MrsBexie: I can't believe I can eat cheese!!! All this time I've been cutting out all dairy! So I just had a chicken & cheese sandwhich. Yep I'm back on the sandwiches, they don't seem to make any difference!
My boobies get really sore too but then they can suck really hard! S was sucking on my arm the other day and I didn't realise how hard it was but I now have hickies on my arm!
:rofl: to arm hickies! They certainly do suck hard! She almost rips my little finger out when I let her suck it! LOL.
Upping the Zantac dose may have been what she needed not cutting out the sandwich! And yup, cheese is awesome... but if you find she is still unsettled heaps tonight, you still might have to cut it out... there is lactose intolerant and there is an allergy to the milk protein and those people can't have cheese. So just keep your eye on it.
I LOVE cheese!!!
New Dawn: Yay to getting an all clear for the mole! Great doc for bulk billing you. LOL on the poop machine. Some days Claire's like that too, it's either small frequent poos or 4 large poos that go all the way up to her belly button.
Kirsten: LOL on ur contraception! I guess when you're dealing with cranky sick DS and feeding and changing all day everyday, it works pretty well as contraception. :P
Keli: What a champion sleeper O is! I can't believe she's already sleeping 10 hours! Very jealous indeed. Maybe she should have a good chat to Claire and teach her how to be good for mummy.
Mrsrufflebumbex: Yay on C being well behaved at the meeting. LOL on her liking speed. I think all babies like movement somehow. Oww, I feel for your sore nipples and lack of sleep. u feel
Renee: Claire sometimes does that too or she just vomits it all up like a fountain. Not sure if that's reflux or not. Might ask her paed next week.
Babyluv: FX this is the beginning of all your 7 hour sleeps! Very exciting to get 2 days in a row. :) I agree with the rest to do what you feel is right. Claire needs some rocking and patting during the day but is happy to grizzle herself to sleep at night. So I'm happy, at least the nights are easy on me.
Little mrs: How smart is G doing the dummy trick! Gotta love those priceless expressions.
So I started this post at 2pm n only got to here at 8pm. LOL. We went to the free photography place in the bounty bag today n got photos taken. Didn't really like the place, only ended up getting one photo of C n the free one of us 3. Had C in the sleep wrap n she was actually really easy to bring around in it, only crying when she needed a change or feed then just tucked her head under when she was napping. Been getting 3 hrs between feeds at night now, definitely moving in the right direction, although I've still been getting up at the 2 hr mark coz my body's so used to it. How dumb!
Caixin: that sucks that the photos weren't that good! was it Pixy photos? They are usually ok! Hmm, might need to check out the sleep wrap! Lol to your body waking at 2 hrs.. hopefully it will retrain itself soon!!
Well once fatty is finished feeding we are going to walk down to spotlight so I can buy some crafty stuff! I am going to try to make my own headbands and stuff for her... and it will give me exercise!! LOL.
Woohoo look at your new avi MrsBexie :) what a good looking bunch of ppl!!! Love it :) I would like to make some yoyo headbands and ruffles too but wouldn't know where to start maybe I'll do a bit of googling. Did you get what you needed? Can't wait to see photos :)
Caixin: you reminded me' I have my bounty bag to go through. That's disappointing about the photo place, where was it?
Little_Mrs: G is so clever, I bet you couldn't believe what you were seeing hehe :)
New-Dawn: I had to giggle about the poo hehe. S poos once every 2-3 days but when she does it's explosive hehe, up her back, down her legs it's awful!
I know! I love my Avi!! I got material, buttons and a yoyo maker from spotlight, and material scizzors, a hot glue gun and some other little bits! LOL.. spent waay too much money but will attempt at making some tomorrow... *key word is attempt!*
my naughty girl is not sleeping!! What is new?! Oh and I think I have nipple thrush cause my nipples are SOOO sore it's unbearable when she feeds on the left side, they are all bright pink and sore when anything touches them! Even air hurts! I will get the dr to check at my 6 week check up this week...
Oh no :( that sounds really painful! Does C have a white tongue? I've heard that can happen with oral thrush but I'm not 100% sure. Boo to babies not sleeping! I think we are in for a rough night! S is screaming in pain :( she was fine until I fed her, happy etc but I guess I must hVe eaten something that's given get reflux because she is doing lots of the swallowing & screaming. Is C calming down yet? I hate the painful cries :( I want a pair of Georgigirl ruffles but can't seem to get them in the ballot! She's putting some on made it tomorrow. My beanie & ruffles should come tomorrow yay :)
C looks gorgeous in her riddles & her headband :) you have such a pretty little girl!!!
Scuse the typos I'm on my phone typing one handed balancing my phone on my knee :)
I checked her mouth and no white spots? Maybe they are just sore and red from suckelotorus #2... lol.
C is down now but for how long I don't know!! Lol.
I hope sienna settles!! Maybe wrote down what you ate today and then next time she is like this do the same and see if there is anything similar?
Mrs Bexie: The sleepy wrap is like the HAB but way cheaper. I'm in love with it coz it's so comfy, feels like she's inside my t shirt. :) Yay to attempting crafty things! I was just thinking the other day to try making some hair clips coz they are so easy n they are so expensive to get online. Will need to get to spotlight if I can though. Ouchie on the nipples, hope suckaloratus is giving you a bit of a break. Did she sleep alright last night?
Babyluv: The place I went to was called Portrait place. It's like one of the franchise places. The photographer was nice but I didn't like how you only had 30 mins for the sitting which is really hard for a newborn bub as they are so temperamental. Oh well, I guess that's why it's free. Do go through your bounty bag... I've just used my $10 off (min spend $50) for target yesterday to get C some winter clothes coz there's 20% off babies now. There's also the huggies canvas that you can claim using barcodes which is really good. Boo to screaming babies, you're holding up so well with all the screaming and not sleeping. Well done mum!
So after weeks and weeks of feeding every 2 hrs, C has given me 3-4 hrs stretches in the last 3 nights. :D. I'm hoping this is the start of longer night sleeps. However since she's not getting up as much to drink she doesn't poo or wee as much at night but come morning, she does like 3 large poos in a row, one after another, n only after I've changed her each time. So I spent like 20 mins changing her nappy, her clothes (went everywhere) and then nappy and then nappy again this morning. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Bex oooo can't wait to c how you go with the headbands and clips. I would love to try and make some of my own also. I hope C is asleep for you. Owch to you nipples they sound very sore. Your not getting mastitis are you? Congrats on your RAK too well done!!
Babyluv How things luv? I hope you and miss S got some sleep last night.
Caixin, thats no good that the pics weren't nice. I hope your body is getting back out of routine!! YAY to an increase in sleep. Yuck to poo's. Ava does that but usually as i am changing her, once her nappy comes off mr whipy starts lol!!!! I end up having to catch it in several nappies or wipes!!!
Little_mrs, Go G!!!! Ava rolled onto her side the other day!! She nearly got all the way over but she stopped and decided not to give mummy a heart attack just yet!!!! I haven't had her weighed for 2 wks but am going this wk can't wait to c how big she has gotten.
Well my sister just left, she is moving to inverell :( Very sad as she has lived in Newcastle for 4 yrs while she has been at uni and i am so used to having at least one family member around, now i have no one!!! Also ladies whos bleeding came back how long did it last? I started bleeding again friday before last and am still bleeding it is actually getting heavier, I am getting clots about the size of a 20-50cent piece. I am only wearing regular pads so it is not too excessive but i just want it to stop already!!
Bex- my health nurse said the sore/pinkness is nothing its if they get really really itchy then you have thrush
for all of you with screamy bubs, have any of you thought they could be teething???
Since ive been giving K teething stuff i have a wonderful he slept for 10hrs the other night its just fantastic, i also have another friend with a december bub and shes teething too
Drooling is a major sign of tething (K is starting to do this), chewing your finger, nipple, dummy, (if fed a bottle) they run it along there gums, biting their hand can also be a sign of teething not just hunger
anyway im out right now got playgroup :)
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!!
