She's gorgeous Laura! And Logan is pretty cute too!
AJP - Here are some foods high in iron that I found in a google search. There's all the usual other stuff like the innard bits of animals but I don't care how low my iron got, I wasn't consuming offal or liver!
fish paste spread
veal
sardines
dried figs/dried fruit
Special K cereal
beans - baked; red kidney
lentils
muesli
wholemeal pasta
If you drink OJ with meals (and avoid caffeine) then it helps you absorb more iron. Also, apparently when people are iron deficient, they are better at absorbing iron from foods which is nice to know!
Hi girls, just a quick one. I have been lurking in here and reading your posts. (you have been chatty). I love it though because I kind of get to see what I have coming in the next couple of weeks and try and prepare myself.
Kaz- I agree with the others with you gotta do whatever works. I have now accepted that the dummy helps DD and actually causes less stress to me and he doesnt use it all the time, she will refuse it unless she is really upset.
I am also co-sleeping with DD (anyone else doing this???) I remember saying that DD would go straight into the cot!!! How wrong I was... It is working for me though. I am finding she is sleeping longer and I am not as exhausted. So whatever works I say.
OP- That is bad form from your friend to stand you up. I hope you told her that you were already out at the city and that the other girl had cancelled too. I am hoping that you and DD had a good day anyway even if it was pooring (I cant believe how much rain we have had!)
Nai- Great stuff on the driving!!! Wil be much easier than catching a bus with 2 kids, prams, shopping, etc. 8 hours sleep is amazing! The most we have got here is 6 hours.
AJP- I Lurrrrvvvve my maz breast pads. I am going to order more pairs from her store as they are fabulous. Thankyou thankyou thankyou again!
Megie- I hope things are getting better for you and that you are getting some help
Shell- that is great the Em settled well for you. We need to get onto a bedtime routine as well.
Det- So jealous of yuor pedi and mani!! I am still wondering how I am going to get myh hair done???
Tarkine- hope you got your application done. Le us know how you go.
Laura- Love the photos. Your babies are just gorgeous!!
AFM- Miss A is sleeping better. She slept yesterda arvo on the couch for 4 hours and then had a good sleep at night as well. Weekend now.. YAY! DP is home, I just wish the weather was nicer. Wonder what we will do this weekend....hmmmmm....
kaz my dad told me to eat liver and black pudding yuk!!
may get some special K though,also love sardines, eating lots of spinach, thanks for that
i avoid dairy for an hour either side of taking the iron and take extra capsules with apple juice
ali glad the pads are nice!! great sleep by ashlyn yesterday!!!
what did you end up doing today??
we opended up new bank accounts today, one with no fees, since these new atm fees came in, in
one month weve gone from zero fees to $30 in one month so gave the credit union the boot
both girls are in bed, dinner is cooking hope millie stays asleep for a good few hours
I didn't know about avoiding dairy. Thanks for that AJP. I love dairy so will have to watch it!
We've had a pretty good day here so far. Jacob has fed pretty well every 2-3 hours. I got 5 hours sleep last night (broken but still good) plus had an arvo nap. Got to chat to a gf on the phone. Had time to cook and eat dinner in one sitting . He's asleep again in the sling on DP and we're going to bath him when he wakes up. When I sleep and he feeds well, anything is possible!!
Hope you've all had similarly good days girls - thanks for the support yesterday. I think it all just got a bit full on for a while there.
Hi Everyone! I have missed BB sooooo much! Our computer has died so I can only use Dh's work one every now and then...don't think they'd be too happy with him being on here lol!
Has been a long couple of weeks..Dh working 7 days a week and getting home at 7pm at the earliest 'sigh'. Finally saw paed on Friday and Anika does have reflux. Started on the losec and I am totally amazed at the difference in her already! I agree the feeding in an upright position and the cot on an angle all helps but thank goodness for the losec...feel back on track! And on cue...the boobie is required! Take care everyone! Exxx
Just quick pop in I am so tired! Em had lots wind pain again last night so was awake alot, trying to get her settled now but drops the dummy put every 15mins and starts crying but can't get her settled without it!
Too tired for personals will come on tomor. But AJP no spider story is funny! They scare the hell outta me!
