Sounds like everyone is really busy. Det, can't believe you survived the zoo by yourself with the 3, you are super woman!
Nai and Laura, love the new avvies!
Ali, we got the birth certificate back about 2-3 weeks after posting off the info... would have been sooner but my Mum as one of the witnesses signed and dated the form as the 29th Feb instead of the 1st of March and I didn't pick up on it before I sent it off so they sent back the form and asked us all the resign with the correct dates! Oh your poor DP, that guy that didn't turn up owes him big time.
Heaven, that is ADORABLE that DD giggled! L's done that once and of course, never since, but so cute. He has only smiled a few times and very quickly.
Kaz, sorry about your nan. Good to hear your nipples are better
Shell happy birthday to your DP!! Hope you had a better night last night.
Tarkine, also hope you had a better night too.
AFM, I'm finding it all really hard atm. L is still so restless and grizzly and screaming during the night. Went to the paed yesterday and was told his reflux and heartburn is due to the way I am feeding and my really good flow! He said my flow was like a tap dripping into his mouth and he has no option but to swallow, but coz my flow is so fast he is gulping in lots of air as well...anyway so now I have to feed lying down with him lying on my tummy (tummy to tummy) so it's as if he is sucking from a straw lol. Also taking donnalix for his colic and sore belly and have a script for infant zantac if things don't improve. He was weighed as well and has gained 400g in 5 days which the paed says is too much! Ahhh I really can't wait for my happy little baby to arrive - and sleepy baby! OH what I'd do for a good 3 hour stretch of sleep
Shell- Oh yes, when she does the on/off thing it's not good, I had to retreat to my room, lol. Good luck for the weigh in, hope they can give you some tips!
Holly- OMG you just can't win, I didn't think they could put on too much weight! All I've ever heard is you can't overfeed a breastfed baby!!
Nai- Looks great!! And so are you with your new avvy btw!
Sorry for the absence - DH and I took DD down to the in law's beach house over Easter, got back last night and then I've been out and about today.
Sounds like everyone had a pretty good Easter, good to hear! I'll try to catch up...
SJ: how cute with DD giggling. Must have been a gorgeous moment
Nai: agree with SJ, looks great and love the new avvy I think I should get onto my avvy request!
Holly: you poor thing, how can they possibly be gaining too much? Sigh, just when you think that you have one thing sorted out, another crops up. Big hugs for you
I really hope the Donnalix and the new feeding position helps. I had to feed semi-reclining for a while - we are just good milk producers Sounds like you are keeping a good positive attitude hun!
Ali: that is just terrible about DH being forced to work a double shift. Hope he is recovering ok and still getting to spend time with DD.
Det and Kaz: so sorry about your nans. Even when its sort of expected, I know it can still hurt. Hope your families are all ok.
Shell: how did you go with the MCHN?
Tarkine: how is DS today? Hope you had a better night last night.
AFM - we had a mixed time down at the beach house. Isabel has been dream baby during the day - still doing her good daytime routine, but then she was absolutely rotten overnight. Would start screaming at about 7pm, then yell and yell until she was fed, then doze and scream again. Grandma couldn't believe it.
Then she wouldn't settle until midnight and would wake after only 2hrs or so. We were there for 3 nights and had hardly any sleep. I don't know if it was because she was in a new place and a new cot or what.
Had a weigh in yesterday and our 8wk check - the MCHN is worried about her favouring one side of her head and said that could be causing her unsettled periods - if she is sore in her neck then by the end of the day she would be pretty achey and unhappy. So we're off to the baby chiro as soon as they can fit us in.
On a positive note though she is doing everything an 8wk bubba should be - smiling, looking at mum, following a rattle with her eyes, moving arms and legs. So that's all good. And she's weighing in at 5.7kg now! That puts her back on the 95th percentile! She's 61cm too which is the 97th percentile!
sara glad your trip went well!!! awesome job b/feeding in front of others, well done hun!!!
nai must join facebook so i can see those pics!! glad its finished
shell how did you go today at the nurse??
op sounds like miss isabel is a bit of a party animal at night, millie saw clare the osteo at the bellybelly centre when she was 5 days old, i highly recommend her,
millie had her first ever vaccinations today and boy did she cry poor bubba was awful
she was grumpy tonight but went down ok, will see what the night brings. gets millie weighed tomorrow so will be interesting to see how much she was grown
Heaven- sounds like a great weekend away! Its always nice to get away and well done on breastfeeding in front of the fam! I love your pic in your ticker. I think you have had such a journey with your bf and i am so pleased to hear about your successes with it now and I think your pic says it all.
Holly- hang in there hun. I hope Master L improves soon. You never know..you might have the best toddler years ahead of you seeming this first part of the journey has been hard and difficult on both of you. Hoping it all improves for you soon.
Nai- for the pergola finished! Looks great!
Jols- Read your thread about the expired medicine! Would give me the ****s as well! SHould not happen. Hope DD is doing alright after her injections tonight.
OP- sounds like a great mchn appointment today with Miss Issy! She is a tall girl like Ashlyn. We have our appointment tomorrow.
AFM- Had a great day today! My sis came over and then we walked up the shops and I met some gf's for lunch and she went to work/ Then I fed DD in the mothers room and changed her and then went shopping for the arvo with her and we didnt leave the shops until 4:30pm so we were up there for 4 hours! Was impressed! Made the day go really quickly. We walked hom and then DD is really starting to enjoy her bouncer (which is great for me), we also had a bath together tonight (so lovely!!!!- If you havent done it make sure you do!) and now she is crashed out on the couch!
Not waking her up until I go to bed. Got a busy day again tomorrow. MCHN appointment and then mothers group at a cafe at flower power nursery (I haven't been before so hoping they will be nice mums).
Oh how funny is this....I actually went out and bought something i keep seeing on an infomercial in the early hours of the morning when nothing is on tv...the news David Campbell album....I really like it!)
you dag ali!! glad you like the CD
im sure your mothers group will be lovely, just remember to give getting the know them some time.
