Hi gang
im up the beach enjoying my time away from the ratrace,,,was a bit daunting as it ended up being about a 4hour or so car ride,my mum lives half way so we stopped there and feed play etc then we stoped again and enjoyed the sounds of the birds,sunsets and the smell of the bush,nixon woke as we pulled into MIL driveway...
He went down pretty good last night,today a different story,1st morning sleep good then lunchtime one not so good,he was put in car and taken out half hour later so upset the routine a bit,he didnt go back to sleep for a few hours,then home to nanas and asleep on her bed for 3 hours,then nana and pa spoiled him with cuddles and had feed bath and a bit overtired n cranky after bath but asleep in portacot in 10 mins,didnt want much food today cos too tired but tonight sucked down 160ml..little piggy
gorgeous weather here,tomorrow we are off to take nixon to his 1st trip to the beach,is a 3 min walk across the road,then mummy is nickin of for a 3 hour pamper n massage at the day spa.mmmmmmmmmmmmm
me-lisa- i cant recall the exact name of those wedges,i got mine in big w in the babies section,i know kmart sell em and you could try target..
sorry to hear about everyone having probs with reflux,poor little bubbas..
runner- 8km run isnt a marathon to us girls,its torture!!!!!!!! u legend well done
anyway im off for a ****tail and watch a dvd but i be lucky to last 10 mins,tired and today i had arvo nap which havent done in over 6 weeks
p.s-how strong are the miracle blankets jo???? nixon can escape everything...i will buy a dozen if need be if they workk..hehe
Sonie - the miracle blankets are REALLY good, Caleb is pretty strong, he gets out of them sometimes but only maybe once every few days, perhaps its those times that we just havent wrapped him properly in it, but its better than having him escape the wraps every single time. I love that it keeps his hands by his body cos they get cold sometimes.
Well my dad leaves in the morning before Caleb even gets up so i have to be up at 5am, havent been up that early since Caleb first came home from hospital! Im gonna miss my dad, we have had so much fun and Caleb and him had a ball! right, im exhausted, night all!
hi girls,
a horrible morning here. amara will NOT stop crying. We started her on Zantac yesterday lunch time - so she has just had her 3rd dose.............how long will it take for us to see improvements??
This is just so horrible and I know you ladies understand the stress it causes. Take that with also having our son with Autism and it is double the horror.
So is it Ok to give Gaviston also ??? I want to try anything......
We've just had a bad night in our house too. A few friends and I decided to have a girls night out, so DH stayed home and looked after Max. I had expressed 5 bottles, so feeding shouldn't have been a problem. Well, about 11.30-12.00 I got a text asking how long I was going to be cos Max wouldn't take the bottle, wouldn't sleep... I got a friend to bring me home and about an hour or so later we finally managed to get Max to take a bottle and go to bed.
The next 2 feeds he hasn't taken a whoel lot form the bottle either, so I finally caved in about midday and gave him some from the boob - I don't feel hungover, so figure there couldn't be too much alcohol left in there. You can imagine how guilty I feel now about the night out though.
On a better note - we had our latest health centre visit yesterday and Max is up to 5.67kg now. He's in the 75th percentile for weight and length, so getting to be a chubby little thing!
Runner: It is OK to take both Zantac and Gaviscon...they do two different things. Gaviscons helps with the vomit and Zantac takes the acidity out of what is left. The two work well together. It took Dash a good couple of days to settle. He is on 3mL three times a day. If he misses even one dose (or doesn't finish the bottle with the meds in it) the rest of the day is a write off. Hope Amara feels better soon.
I too haven't had a wonderful morning. Just finished crying on the phone to the manager of major shop about their door lady - I have made an official complaint. She saw me take the time to pick a trolley for DD where the buckles do up properly (the sixth trolley was suitable). I would normally take the pram but my boot latch has gone and I can't get the pram out!! Dash was in the sling. We in the store for maybe 2 minutes and a bent down to get something off the shelf. DD got out the trolley - she can do this quite easy because she is hypermobile and can squeeze herself out of anywhere, even her car seat.
She was about 3 meters in front of me and I was chasing her with the trolley and Dash in the sling. We got near the door and the door lady could see me coming (most door people would see what was happening and try to help stop a child I'm sure) and I said, "I'm gettig there, I'll be back with a smile". Instead of letting me go without a fuss she insisted I stop and have my handbag and sling checked. So much so that she even put her hand on my shoulder and was using her other hand to peer inside the sling so I couldn't just run for Dash's sake. She said, "I know she is running, this wont take long!". Are you kidding??
Meanwhile DD has gone out of sight so I threw my bags at her and went running after DD. I think that this is just disgusting and so does the manager - especially with a 2 month old in the sling and me running. They are reviewing the video footage now as I speak because she was not allowed to touch me and they are angry about what she has done. Anyway, rant over.....I feel better now! On a good note, DD is insisting on going to the toilet and I got one of each this morning yeah!!! Hard work looking after a refluxer and toilet training a toddler I tell you lol!! Don't think I will go out again in a hurry.....it is the hardest thing I have had to do.....shopping with a toddler and a newborn....and I am used to having 25 schoolies in my care 5 days a week! This is sooooo much harder!
Oh Orange, what a horrible woman! Definitely make a formal complaint. Glad you managed to catch Z before she ran too far away.
Good on you for toilet training Z! Ben is still a long way off being ready. I'm kinda grateful for that right now to tell you the truth
We've had a good morning (sorry to the rest of you who are having trouble this morning ) I'm letting J sleep on his belly at night now, with the motion monitor on. It's made the world of difference to my little man. I'm now getting five-six hour sleeps at night and good naps during the day. He is also giving me tonnes of smiles and laughs! Much happier little man and consequently, much happier mummy! I even went out shopping this morning by myself to get some gym gear. In case any of you are wondering, it is impossible to buy sports bras in 12F or 12G sizes I ended up getting a 14 E which I know will ride up at the back, but it's the best I can do
Anyway, better be off and enjoy my last few minutes of peace. Ben is due up any second now.
