Hi
Soph-id be taking bubs to the royal childrens hospital and i wouldnt wait a day longer,u just dont know what it is and to be losing a lot of blood is not good,they will see u straight away and refer u immediately to a paed,do not wait to see a GP they are useless,get onto it straight away and ring the royal childrens 1st b4 u go and tell them whats the matter..

Ren- Vaccs,would not dream of not giving them to Nixon,did u get the thing on Facebook regarding the lady who lost her daughter the same age as our kids due to whooping cough,i know after i gave Nixon his i thought oh thats cruel but it could be worse.In this country we have a high migration rate so you just dont know what people from other countries whos immunisation policies arent as strict as ours even begin to bring in...just not worth risking...

Well last night i got a shock,my boy slept thru from 8pm til 7am,he had a midnight dreamfeed...yay im so proud,i wonder if he will do it again tonight as he went to bed a bit earlier...
im feeling a bit down as most of the ladies i know who were pregnant and had their babies are all back to their skinny pre-baby size,im a size 14 with a big muffin jelly top that i cant budge,i watch what i eat and most of the other dont,,they were just all belly when pregnant no weight gain,makes me depressed,i have a long road ahead of me,just too tired atm or even find time free to have the house spotless yet excercise,but will go on a diet and hire a treadmill

Bon, our bubs are only 3 months old - try to not stress about your weight. I was hoping to be back into my pre-pg clothes by now, but I'm finding it harder to lose my mummy tummy this time around. Mind you, I'm not trying too hard. I really ballooned out after I had Ben. When he was 6-8 months I was the biggest I've ever been. As long as I don't let that happen again I'll be happy. Please don't put too much pressure on yourself to lose it. It will come off in good time

Ren, I was really stressed out about Ben's 12 month and 18 month needles - the ones for MMR. I wouldn't change my decision for anything though. I've stopped reading all the information on why not to vax now too. It was doing my head in!

We had a lovely day yesterday. Ben stayed with his Aunty for the first time while Jared and my 9 year old nephew went with me to the Swannies game. Jared's first game He loved it. He was watching for about half of the game, slept for half time and one quarter and fed for a lot of it too He enjoyed it much more than Ben did as a bub. J is going to be my social bub I think. He loves talking to people and smiling at them. Ben was always more introverted and we had to work so hard for smiles. With J, all you have to do is talk to him and he breaks into the biggest grin

It was lovely to be out doing something from my old life again. J was quite content in the HAB, but much happier when I had him facing outward. He's just too big to be facing in now, since he's the size of an average six month old! He has fantastic head,neck and back control and strength so I'm quite happy to have him facing out

Gotta run. Ben is a garbage guts right now trying to fatten back up after his double ear infection and all I do is feed the boy!

Just quickly - so far my resttling seems to be working! It took a couple of goes this time, but it's now been 1.5 hours since he first went down and he's still sleeping. I will admit that the second time I went in this sleep I did pick him up, but hey, he's still asleep now and that's the main thing! It worked (without having to pick him up) when I did it yesterday arvo too, but DH wasn't so good at it when I wasn't there.

Fingers crossed it continues to work!

good luck gypsy i have to do the exact same thing,i resettled nixon and got him to sleep 2 and a bit hours however i could neck my husband as he always gets him up when he wakes from his first 45 minute sleep cycle...grrrrr
im still having major issues in the car with him,he cracks a barney big time when tired n screams n screams in car,is becoming a pain in the A$$ as u cant go anywhere,he wasnt like this til he got reflux,when he screams he wants his dummy n u put it in and he spits it out,,i cant drive n dummy at the same time....grrrr
He is starting to sleep thru the night now til 6-7am.we changed the dreamfeed from 11 to 12 and it has done the trick,he goes to bed 7-730pm has dreamfeed at midnight n sleeps til 6-730am..wow then we wake have a feed n sometimes he goes back to sleep in with his mum til 8-830am as im exhausted..
anyway must go resettle the cat has finished his nap...

Hi all,

Yep my hair is falling out like crazy too, I remember all the books saing that our hair will get thicker when we were pregnant because of hormones, So I say were just loosing all that extra hair we got then.

Soph I have my fingers crossed for you.

I had Fin imunised too, I remember we had a couple of kids die from the measles at school so i say if you can protect them even a little i'm all for it.

Now, is is just me or have others all of the sudden got extra time on their hands. Fin seems to be in a routine and I can now get my house work done, Prepare dinner and do my school work as well as feed and play with Fin and go to mothers groups. (x2) Crazy!!!

DH and I are also talking about no.2 already. (Fin took 2.5 years to concieve)

YES!! I find I have more spare time now too! I think it's a combo of us being more organised and used to being a Mummy now and more confidence and also our babies are more settled (in general) than what they were fresh out of the womb!!! Still very needy but not 'as' needy at the same time.... iykwim! My DD can play happily on her playmat for up to 45mins and I don't need to entertain her so I can get stuff done for a bit!!

And yeah we are wanting to TTC number 2 in December!!! DH wants to now!!! But I won't allow him to... hehe need to lose weight first.

i dont have spare time i wish,i have 3 baskets of folding,havent cooked since sunday night,the bathroom needs a good scrub,i have cobwebs everywhere,nixon i can leave for about half hour b4 ge gets whingey but dont give u much time to do anything,its hard too as im working doing my photography and working on puter...as for having another im turning 38 in september and im still getting over the shock so i dunno when i will,maybe 2-3 years we will see,its hard as we dont have any family living in melbourne so we have no support...im so exhausted i dunno how id cope if i had another baby so soon after Nixon especially with all the issues that we previously had with sleeping,feeding,reflux etc,im lucky i got it ironed out quick fast but if i had another baby id do things different from the getgo,straight into a routine from day 1...
i wish i was younger when i had him but due to medical reasons i was not allowed to have a child sooner,i just thank god i have gotten him as he truly is our miracle boy!! mmm a girl would be nice hehe
