Orange - for Zantac, we do 15mls and give it to Caleb straight, can you do it in 5ml lots instead?? my dr said not to put it in the bottle, he does love the taste though, its strawberry i think, judging by the smell?
I cant beleive it but last night Caleb slept 11.5 hours without waking once! down at 8pm and up at 7.30am, i just cant beleive it, i keep waiting for him to wake up through the night as if to say "your good fortune is over, this was just a test" hahaha
Hes a little unsettled today as he has had Grandad around for the past few days and now that hes gone things are getting back to normal and so is he. Im gonna get DH to do the morning feed tomorrow so i can get a decent sleep in for once (it would be my first since giving birth!)
Dropped my dad off at the airport this morning (at 5am no less arrrrgh!) oh i so miss him already, he said hes really gonna miss Caleb, i think he really fell in love with him there was a bit of talk about how he would love to move here, i would just have to get my sisters to move here too if that were the case, especially as one of them just had her baby too (and she is my dads natural daughter (they both are) so her daughter is his first natural grandchild, my dad is actually my mothers second husband, he raised me and I see him as my father)
Orange, glad to hear you're feeling better. Ben is a couple of months older than your DH and is showing no sign of TT. I would have thought he'd really hate the feel of wet or dirty nappies since he's in cloth, but not so. A lot of the mums from Ben's mum's group are having trouble with their bubs taking nappies off and they're all girls. I wonder if it's more a girl thing? Boys don't mind being dirty for a bit longer?? Who knows?
KWYM about adult conversation. The last few days I've been calling my sister just for a chat which I haven't done in the past. Just need another grown up to talk to at times!
Runner, well done on the fun run. I am finally joining the gym with my sis this week. Can't wait! EVen went out and bought some new gym clothes for the occasion. I can't wait to start getting fit again.
Ren, would love to see pics when you get them back. We're supposed to have had pics taken of the lot of us but we haven't got around to it. I NEED to get them done this week because I had some done of Ben at 9 weeks and really want to get J done at the same age.
Us, we've had another great night. Tummy sleeping is the answer for us, although I know a lot of people don't agree with it. Poor Jared just is not comfortable sleeping on his back and will only do it for a max of three hours. On his tummy I'm getting six hour blocks at night and excellent day sleeps which we haven't had before. It works for us.
We're getting a real lot of smiles and laughs. Ben is fantastic at getting laughs out of his little brother. Jared finds him fascinating and hilarious. Nobody else can get the real belly laughs out of J like Ben can. I just hope the good feelings between them last when J starts crawling around and nicking Ben's toys
hi ladies,
I so look forward to logging on and seeing how everyone is and the support we can provide to each other - keep it up!!
Di's girl - well done on joining the gym....does it have child minding? and how wonderful that you can go with your sister - I would love that.
Soniebon - re your iron levels - I take a liquid iron which can be bought over the counter from chemists - it is MUCH better than pills anyday - more of it, more absorbed. Let me know if you like to know the name of it.....cannot think right now, it is about 17 dollars however but I need it and i know about iron problems - have had them for years and know what products work for me.
Soph - I have PM you my details - thanks so much again.
My little Amara is so sleepy right now - not normal really, don't like it. She did not feed very well and then fell right off to sleep in my arms. I have a feeling she will only be asleep for 45 mins then wake up screaming...it may be a long morning here.
Question for those babies born in NSW - did you have to have your babies birth certificate BEFORE getting them on Medicare card??? I am still waiting for Amaras birth certiicate.
Just came back from dr getting Calebs 2month vaccination shots, he cried so hard for about 20 seconds then came right and was smiling and talking, hes a bit off his routine today but im not pushing him as i know its the vax thats putting him out so today and probably tomorrow i will just relax and let him rest a bit more. I think hes going through another growth spurt as well so that combined with the vax is not a happy little man.
there was a bit of talk about how he would love to move here, i would just have to get my sisters to move here too if that were the case, especially as one of them just had her baby too (and she is my dads natural daughter (they both are) so her daughter is his first natural grandchild, my dad is actually my mothers second husband, he raised me and I see him as my father)
