Oh no! I'm scared about getting Ava's shots next week!! I hope she isn't too unsettled....ouch needles.
Ava's photo shoot was brilliant!! We got some photos sent through to us and our friend did a WONDERFUL job!!! The CD is arriving today I think so we have heaps more photos. We're so impressed with them. Ava was so good she was alert for the first half of the session then had a feed and then was sleepy and fell asleep so got some great shots of her awake and asleep! Sooo cute. Might put one as my ticker pic soon.
Ava has been not sleeping much during the days lately and doesn't sleep until 8pm!! But once she goes down she is asleep from about 8pm or 9pm until 3 or 4am! So can't really complain.... just hard to get things done around the house during the day when she's awake all the time... she's asleep now so i'm catching up while I can! Yesterday I vacuumed, mopped the floors and tidied up the linen cupboard!!! I was so happy with myself!!! so productive for once!
For those of you who breastfeed.... don't you think it's adorable when they come off after a big feed and they have milk dribbling down their chin and they're so drunk!?! It's so cute! But not so cute when all of a sudden they vomit some up!! What a waste of milk.....
runnermum - we applied for birth certificate & medicare card at the same time so no you don't need to wait to get the birth certificate before you can apply for the medicare card. Did your hossie give you the paperwork?
Ren - I loooove it when Sam finishes a feed and has milk all over his mouth/chin. So cute. Sam doesn't sleep as much during the day any more either, I think that is normal and also good because then they sleep better at night. Good luck with the needles next week.
Jo - big hugs for you.... and Caleb. Hope he isn't too unsettled. It's awful seeing the needle go in just knowing they will cry.
Bon - hope Nixon has a better day today. He's such a cutie, I was looking to your pics on fb yesterday. Sam was really unsettled for around 72hrs after his needles so if it was us I would leave till next week or something when he's not as out of sorts. I would still ask doc though. It's awful when they are unsettled isn't it. I guess it gets easier when they can tell you how they are feeling. Big Hugs for both of you.
Been so busy lately, lots of cleaning & packing. We move into our new house on 24 April - 2 days before Sam's christening. Oh well - we'll get there. My Mum is supermum so she'll be a good help. The owners of the place we bought have agree to allow us to store stuff in the garage until settlement so that will help ease the stress of settlement day.
Does anyone have a bathaid? We bought Sam one a few weeks ago and he looooves it! His little legs get going and he kicks and splashes and he even gets the arms going now. It also makes it easier to wash his hair, although it is a little hard on our backs. So cute, except we also had anoher first, yep first poo in the bath. Lucky it was towards the end anyway so I could lift him straight out. Eeewww. Funny tho
hi all
better now,bit unsettled still.hes gone to bed no dummy no protesting,i think whatever he has has knocked him,hes thrown up a bit more than usual,he normally hardly does it,he just had 90ml so not pushing him too much,he had 150ml for brekky,we are off to docs at 4pm,he fell asleep b4 without dummy in 5 mins,,poor bugger is exhausted.
mum might actually finish what she started today...
bath aid-we got the blue seat one where they lay back in,he loves it,goes beserk,kicking around,then i take him off it and put on my arm face down and he kicks like a little frog,loves his bath.we gonna go swimming from 4-6 months onwards as i want him to enjoy water as i am not the best swimmer but love it and his dad dont swim at all.
Ren- cant wait to see Ava's photos,i have a few kids photography to do and we are about to get the business off the ground,we gonna do the shopping centre stuff..
anyway i best be off and make the most omy my time whilst he asleep
dear lovely mummies,
I Understand completely about all these sleeping issues - it is the thing we agonise about the most, isn't it? It can really knock you around and you feel like the day has gone by and nothing was achieved.
soniebon - i hope you are having a good day today - I am not looking forward to the 8 week vaccination either and the unsettleness - are you going to see a doctor about possible reflux? Sounds possible.
Ren - no sleep during the day is a killer as you say because you cannot get things done or relax (what does that mean ??). Ava is sleeping well at night - especialluy for a boobie baby! Amara is doing similar hours at night - 7.30pm/8pm to 2 or 3am.
Jo - how is the Zantac working for your bubba?? Amara seems Ok to me, but still chucking up and now some wind problems - despite taking something for that also.
hey, Look at my ticker - yes, got hubby to do it for me - at last!
Ren, we had an interesting night, but there's some good news for those who have not yet had their 8 week vax. Jared slept for a pb 7 hours after his needles!!!! To make the night interesting though, Ben was up with a bad fever for half the night. Poor little bugger looked like he'd jumped in a pool he was sweating so much. Was a bit scary for us all. It's his two year old molars alright. The worst teeth EVER! J has also been fine all day today so obviously the vax haven't affected him much yet. I hope it stays that way.
I joined the gym today! Felt fantastic to work up a sweat and get my heart racing again. I'm only going to go Tues and Thurs and sometimes on the weekend so hopefully it will be enough to help me lose my mummy tummy a bit. I don't really care about my weight so much as getting fit by the end of the year to TTC #3
Gotta go and attend to dinner Have a lovely night ladies
We have had a busy couple of days here. Yesterday morning I decided to go in to work to show off Max. We have 2 offices and I was hoping to do them both in one day, but stayed too long at the first, so just drove home in order to beat peak hour traffic. Then today I went to the other office, but decided to take the train this time instead of driving, as I had to go into the middle of the city. Well, usually I find PT much less stressful than driving, but not this time . I had to hold Max cos I couldn't have his pram in front of me (cos of the way the seats worked), and he just wasn't happy being held for so long. That, plus I had to feed him on the train, which wasn't easy, and both times he pooed within about 20 mins of getting on (it's about a 50 min trip).
To top it all off, he didn't sleep for longer than 3.5-3 hours at a time last night, so I am exhausted form that as well!
Talk about mothers intuition,heres me thinking im not maternal...apart from yukky nappy i knew something not right with my boy,he just sooooo outta sorts not funny,took him to docs today and he has a gastro virus,his tummys hard and the doc says that why the vomiting and the smelly nappy yesterday,hes a bit better today,had a big feed at 530pm,tried to give him one b4,he just had a top up and is out like a light,hes sooooo exhausted as he not been sleeping well,started to again today so i know hes on mend,hes had no bath tonight,havent changed his bum,did not long ago,just wrapped and straight to bed,no dummy no fussing,we arent getting his vaxinations til friday now as he needs a few days to get well....
anyway im off to the couch,exhausted from being mum to my sick boy,even though he not well he still managed to charm his nana with big smiles and squeals....
awwwwwwwww
chat soon
