Hey Girls,
Sterla that sounds exactly like what my nights have been like. Its hard hey... Oh that will be so nice getting your hair done let us know how it turns out. DP is meant to be colouring my hair today but Imso tired I cant be bothered.
Might try the sippy cup trick Moose, although she hates water when she has her cup it goes in her mouth and strait back out. Going back to aaages ago, your girls night sounded fun, glad you had a good time :) Yes I feed her each time she wakes which is bad as I fall asleep with her in the bed. Thats no good your unwell, lots of vegies and rest! How many solid meals are you guys feeding sammy? What do you feed her? We have just added a second meal to the menu here and give fruit/vegie in the morning and then rice cereal in late arvo. Interested to hear what othere people are doing though...
Blip- where have you gone??
PJ- hows your wkend going? How is Summer?
Antheia- How are you?
Went shopping yesterday and got Winter a dress for the wedding we are attending next weekend and also a high chair as I have been feeding her out of her pram and her swing. She looks so small in her new chair! Started her on avocado yesterday and she did her first avo poo.... and DP had to change it heheh. Was meant to go to the park today but toooooo tired :(
Hope your all well :)

Hiya :)
Peach: Awww, I bet Winter looks gorgeous in her dress! You've been busy with weddings? I think I remember you going to a wedding a couple of months ago. I've barely been to any weddings... I think I went one as a kid, then the next one I went to was my own! Since we've been married we've been to one, but have another one coming up in Feb 2010.
Haha, DH and I almost bought Oliver a high chair yesterday, but decided not to, as we keep putting off starting Oliver on solids. I think we'll get one when we actually do start. We put Oliver in a high chair in the store though, and he was sooo tiny in it, so I know what you mean!
Well, I got my haircut yesterday, and it is now quite short. I think it sits around my jawline. I've also now got a bit of a side fringe... so quite different. I think I scared the hairdresser though - she asked me what I wanted and I said I wasn't sure - just something low maintenance but different. I don't think they like that...
I also did some clothes shopping for the first time since Oliver was born :).
ANyway, better go as Oliver has just woken up.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend.

Glad to hear your hair cut turned out good, it sounds really nice. Yeah no rush with solids, if Oli isnt ready there is no point pushing it. It is more work in the end, enjoy only needing to unclip your bra as food preparation while it lasts! :)
Yes we have been busy with weddings! The last one we went to at Bundaberg in may was only the third one Ive ever been too, but Im sooo excited for the next one. Its on south stradbroke island, well actually another island just off stradbroke. Its going to be so awesome. And I have the hens night this wednesday actually. Going out in Surfers paradise, my friend who is the bride to be has got a penthouse apartment for the week(lucky thing!) so we will be getting festive there before heading out. And it will mean leaving Winter at home with DP for longer than an hour, so it will be the longest Ive been away from her! Im a little scared.
Hope your all well :)

Hi Girls,
Just a quick one to say hi, probably wont be posting for a while as I have my friends hens night tonight. Night time still hell for us, DP ended up getting up with Winter this morning at 4am and watching infomercials as she would not settle. We never watch tv so it always keeps her amused when it goes on.
Tonight is the 3 week anniversary of my last good sleep, sigh. She has been sleeping in bed since 8am!! I managed to sneak out and I cant believe she is still sleeping.
Pj- Hope your trip is good :)
Blip- Your trip to Bulla sounds sweeeeeet!!! I looove the snow, its my most favourite thing ever. Marysville must have been so full on though by the sounds of it. Isnt it weird, it was all over the news for so long and now we hear nothing of it up here anymore. Hope you and Daz are well :)
Moose and Sterla- Hope your both having a good day*
-
peach: aww :hug: if it is silent reflux have you tried mylanta? my MHCN told me 1ml helps (daz has had it a few times as i see it as milder then bloody zantac!) i hope it settles down for you :hug:
moose: i forgot to reply to you for about the solids for the reflux! we gave him solids after he stole some food from me! his relfux is just the same - even with solids. i've fond that he'll have soldis (hes really chowing down on sweet spud and pumkin!) he'll have that then his bottle...then maybe the next two bottles after if he dose throw up its still got bits of food in it :vomit: lol.
AFM: been quiet since we got home. did get some house work done. and listed my little blue car on carsales dot com. which makes everything so final! but we need to sell it for the $$...not much else is planned for today. heading into target to get some cute new jump sutes for daz...but thats all...
Ohh and i told DH i wated to buy a toy out of the target catolog...a 14ft trampolein! haha...he said no :( but i tried :lol:
-
ello lovies!
we've been a little quiet ay?
how is every one going?
been busy here! and its not going to stop til tuesday next week LOL. going to my old high school with the dazman to talk to years 10,11 and 12 about pregnacy/birth/life as a young mum. which should be fun! i got told by my mother and my nan "dont tell them it hurts, it'll put them off it" haha. but it'll be good. getting to show daz off to people and maybe even seeing some of the teachers from school (that i liked!) i only hope i dont run into the princeable or the vice princeable - mainly the vice due to him being a compleat and utter d!(k faced morion! but any whoo i better go hang out some washing....hope every one is having a good one!
-
Hey Girls,
Blip- we havnt tried the mylanta but we have been trying the infant gaviscon, have you tried that? How is your car going sale wise, any luck?
How sweeeeet is that big trampoline at target?!?! I want it too heheh
Just a short one girls, we are booked into day stay sleep school on aug 7th. Hopefully it helps!
Had my friends wedding yesterday, everyone was soooo in love with Winter, and so many people Ive never even met wanted cuddles from her, and she was stoked too! It was the most beautiful wedding Ive ever been to, it was like something out of a magazine and everyone from both families were just so friendly, and guess what? I caught the bouquet!(sp) haha I did a bit of an AFL jump over all the girls to get it :lol:
How are you all?? Hope everyone is good :)
P.s DP took Winter to the docs on friday and she was actually diagnosed with reflux and she also has eczma on her tummy, argh!
-
peach: Woo for weddings - at mine two good friends of mine made a dash for the bouquet. one friend had a nose ring (s)...the other made a grab for it (L) (it went under a table :eyeroll) and S ended up with a blood nose thanks to L haha...aww about the eczma on winters tummy...i hope its not too ichy for her. i can empthise with her, i have so-ri-i-sus and it can get real ichy! all i can say is cotton jump sutes/singys are the best to help keep it cool...
AFM: sold the car yesterday! first girl who looked at it bought it. which is good. but sad! ohh well...ive been madly cleaning the house - i'm having a tuppawear party...with most likely just MIL, mum nan plus one mum from MG and her mum - whoes the host haha GO MEEE...i have no friends LOL
Ohh DH says :wave: hehe he's watching me type...semi one handed as daz now thinks my fingers are teething toys!
-
Wow, I can't believe it's been 5 days since I've posted here!!! What's wrong with me :lol:?
Peach: :hug: How are you coping these days hun? I've been thinking of you. That's great that you're booked into sleep school - I really, really hope it works!
Awww about the wedding, and about everyone gushing over Winter :). I love weddings... well, the few that I've been to (mainly my own!). Lol about the AFL move to catch the bouquet! Nice one!
Poor Winter (and you) about the reflux and eczema :(.
Are you still meeting up with lots of mums through the week and with your MG? Just recently I've really been craving some decent quality chat-time with other mums. I mean, I've always wanted to meet other mums, but I'm really starting to feel like I need it. I've been feeling pretty lonely lately. I just hope I get to really know some of the mums at my MG.
Blip: Wow, that's great that you're going back to your high school to talk about pregnancy and childbirth. Should be interesting. How are you with speaking in front of groups? I'd be pretty nervous!
:dance: Yay about selling your old car! You did well to sell it so quickly. We only just sold our old car about the time we moved house - we'd been trying (though not very hard) to sell it for 7 months!
How is everyone else doing?
AFM: Mmm, what have I been doing? Not a great deal really, just same old same old.
Oliver has gone back to waking up every three hours through the night, so I'm a bit tired (though nothing compared to you Peach!). The last couple of mornings Oliver has woken for a feed and then not wanted to go back to sleep. Saturday morning it was 6.30am and he wouldn't sleep. This morning he woke at 5.15am for a feed and wouldn't go back to sleep. I had a bit of a sook Saturday morning, just from lack of sleep, but this morning I made DH get up at 6.15 with Oliver so I could sleep, which I did, and it was gooooooood! :D
With the constant waking I keep thinking again that maybe he's ready for solids... but he's not feeding any more frequently through the day, so I don't think that's it. I'm so excited about starting solids... but I've set myself the 6 month goal (unless Oliver decides otherwise), so I'm going to try to stick to it.
We went on a shopping trip to Kmart today - picked Oliver up some groovy new clothes, and I bought some nice boots for $20 - much nicer than the daggy shoes I have been wearing... I've been trying to reverse out of the daggy frumpy mummy road I've been heading down :rolleyes:. Later on we went to parents for afternoon tea, and Oliver was in such a good mood! He's usually so quiet, but today he was squealing, blowing rasberries and giggling! It's so nice that my parents got to see him like that, cause Oliver is usually such a quietly observant bub around other people.
We have MG tomorrow, which I am so looking forward to - I need mummy time! Tuesday morning we have breakfast with my parents, as it's their 25 year wedding anniversary. I'm going to have to somehow drag my DH out of bed before 7am, which is no easy feat. Wednesday we're off to Rock & Rhyme, followed by Oliver's 6 month vax :(. I hope he goes okay with it - he's never been too bad, just a little grizzly.
Anyway, I better get to bed. I hope everyone is well and has had a great weekend.
