Kim thats awful these little ones are so clever aren't they? I guess you can just about everything in the book to avoid accidents but they are bound to happen and most of the time its character building. Like my DH has a scar on his top lip where when he was a toddler he was chewing his dads belt buckle and he fell on it and the metal thingo went through his top lip and split it. Blood everywhere. But now its character building and I love it. I do hope she heals well and learns her lesson.
DH said JD went down by 12.30 last night and I had to get him up for his feed at 7am this morning. pretty happy with that.

Awww Kim sorry to hear that. Poor little Chelsea...hope her fingers heal quickly.

Aww Kim, hope Chelsea will be ok...I always worry about Charlotte doing things like that.
How are u Melbourne and Sydney girls handling the heat? Hope u are all ok. I feel very lucky that we aren't having as hot weather. How is Perth Jo?
Well Harley just won't settle this morning for longer then half hour, having cat naps which is annoying as trying to get other stuff done, but hoping it means he will sleep better tonight but not always the case lol
Looks like I'll have Charlotte in day care at least one day a week soon, found out wat my percentage for Child Care benefit is and now just gotta find a place! Will do her and me so good!! Hope to have her in 2 days after a couple of months, means I can have a day to do housework and spend time with Harley and hopefully get a nap in! hehe
Well hope u girls are having lovely weekends even with the heat, hope u don't lose any power for those who have aircon and hope the aircon is working well!!
Just having a quiet one myself although it is Robs birthday today, but he is working up in the shed. Might have chinese for dinner tonight, and if I get round to it will make him a cake...feel bad I couldn't get a nice one for him, but really its just us 2 and Charlotte who can eat it so no point getting a big cake...doing that next weekend for our combined B'day BBQ as mine is on the 25th Feb!
Okies I'm gonna head off, seems Harley is asleep on the bed behind me, lets hope he stays asleep for a good hour or so! Luckily its already been 2 hours since his last feed, trying to get him to go longer then 2 hours..
Take care girls!!
Deb :)

Well I think the Mylanta is helping my little hero, although he is not completely settled after his feeds he has seemed to be a fair bit happier. We will give it another couple of days and if that doesn't improve some more we will give him his medicine 3 times a day. I do feel relief though that at least
I know that his unsettled and crying was not generally normal. I just pray that we have found a solution for him and we can all start to enjoy each other now. This first month has been so much tougher than I expected I pray that this next month is much better.
-
Amanda how did the scan go the other day...sorry if you said how it went and i totally missed the post. Glad JD is doing much better now :)
-
I typed this up yesterday, but then DH took over my Facebook, and I had to save it, so it's a bit all over the place - sorry.
Hey Kim, Riley did a similar thing a few months ago, and touched the hot stove, when DH had turned it off and finished cooking. You feel so bad! What happened to your long fence/gate?
I was going to see if you wanted to catch up again soon. P is at Kindy Monday arvo, Weds morn and Thurs arvo. Did you want to come to me this time? We have great aircon if it's hot, and a tramp outside for the little ones to burn their energy on.
Let me know what suits you. Hope Chels is OK! :oops:
Deb - I did the same thing with P. 5 weeks of trying to express about 20 mils each time, and bottle feeding with BM & Formula. Then once I was off the expressing, his screaming stopped but his constipation/bowel condition showed itself. Once you stop giving Harley BM, if he gets constipated try infant Coloyxl drops from the chemist, if that doesn't work, see a GP, but most kids get backed up on just formula alone, so don't worry if he does OK.
I get really all over the place mentally until my BM has dried up. The hormones are really bad for my state of mind. Amanda, you might find that you feel better if and when you stop BFing. Now chick, do me a favour, do not under any circumstances come off your meds (unless you are allergic) for AT LEAST 6 - 12 months. You will start to feel better over the next week to 2 weeks, but keep taking them. If you come off them too quick or too early, you can have a major relapse, and I have been to 2 funerals too many for friends who have committed suicide because of depression.
I don't want to scare you, just make you aware, these meds are powerful stuff and need to be treated seriously. I should know, I've mucked around with mine in the early days, and have paid the price and will need to be on them for at least until Judd is 1 before I think about coming off them. I have also been suicidal twice, and honestly thought that my DH and P would be much better off without me in their lives. So it can happen to anyone, just take them every day and when you are ready to come off them, do it very slowly.
Hey Kim I love your new avatar! V cute.
Well it was very smokey down our way yesterday and I txt Kim to see how they were as I heard of fires near both of us, and sure enough she had fires near her and didn't even know it! It's been a terrible weekend in Victoria, and I hope that's that for this summer.
-
Well we are back from the dr....Chelsea's ring finger isnt good....seems to have caused some damage, its been dressed and we have to go back again tomorrow, and probably for the next few days for dressing.
Tash would love to catch up again. Im free Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays...so what ever day suit you, and we'll come to you for sure this time. We took the fence down as it wasnt stopping Chelsea at all, she kept jumping over it and kept hurting her chin. Nothing stops her....if its child proof...then it ISNT Chelsea proof....she is to smart for safety items.
Fires were indeed near us and as Tash said, didnt even know. A friend of me sent me a text saying the fires were between me and the railway station (which is only like 2 km away). Right behind our house is grass, which was only mowed on Friday so im thankful nothing has happened there, we also have all the power lines behind us.

I hope you get super spoilt and have a great day with your little man!

:happybirthday::confetti:Happy Birthday Kirsten!! Hope u have a wonderful day!:birthday2:
Well yesterday I had a real unsettled day with Harley...was pulling my hair out, he was cat napping the whole day and got so unsettled... was having a few smaller feeds but more often like every 2 hours...
Finally got him to sleep at 9pm, had aircon on in the room and he slept thru till 2.45!! 15mins short of 6 hours! Then was up around 5.45am... and now is unsettled again...although prob due for a bottle now.
Got Charlotte on a waiting list for the local day care! So happy bout that...hopefully soon they will have a spot for her, just need that one day break!
Well I better get going, lil man is now really getting upset!! Hope ur lil bubbas are being good and that u are all well!!
Take care
Deb :)

Deb i hope Harley gives you a break today. When they are unsettled its so hard to keep sane, especiall when you have a toddler (or 2) to deal with at the same time. Ive now droped Chelsea's day sleeps as she was refusing to go to bed at night and i was up til midnight every night battling to get her to bed...when i could have been in bed myself by 1030 cos thats when Zach feeds last now.
Lastnight we fed at 1030, he left 70ml (from 150ml) and he slept til 7am.....of course silly me never went to bed til after midnight cos i was up talking to Craig about things.. :doh:
Also...Happy 1 month to Harley and Zachery...cant believe how fast thats gone hey Deb.....seeing though we had to wait over a week for them to arrive.....time has flown since they arrived.
Where is every to BTW......must be busy with bubbas!
-
I read up every now and then, usually when i'm feeding Larissa. Its so difficult to do that and type one handed! Tris has gone back today after 5 and a half weeks off and its actually so nice! When hes home he demandsmy attention as much as Larissa does but then when I'm feeding her he still goes and does his own thing and just so happens to only go out and see his friends in the evening when shes suffering with wind so by the time shes settled its time for me to sleep. Thank God that once shes down, she sleeps for about 7 hours!
Is anyone doing anything nice for valentines day? I think we'll just give it a miss. Anyone know someone affected by the fires or floods? Must be awful for them!!!
-
:confetti:Happy 1 month old to Zach! Can't believe it either Kim, its gone heaps fast, wish it would slow down, knew it would be this way after waiting all that time for them to arrive!!
Harley has been a good boy today! Charlotte has been pretty good as well, no sleep for her as we got home around 2.30, so bit late for that, so shes just happy to play. Put a lay by on for her winter clothes at Big W as they have a baby sale on! Can't believe my baby girl is in a size 3!! Only cos she is so tall! And a bit solid, actually shes the size and length of a average 4 year old!! So got one tall girl on my hands!
Oh I can't wait till Harley sleeps a good 7 hours straight, I wanted to go down just after him last night, but Rob wanted some time for just us 2. So couldn't complain bout that. So went to bed just after 10... so wasn't to bad!
It has been pretty quiet in here, but understandable with bubs and also some of us already have other kiddies!
I don't know anyone affected by the fires, but the town of Marysville was the first ever town I lived in, so the first ever house I lived in is no longer standing, would of been about 146years old. Also the hotel where my dad worked is no longer standing :(
Both my sisters are up north but been ok with the floods. Its amazing that we have one extreme up one end of Australia and the other down south! The rain needs to go to Victoria!
-
Glad to hear Harley was a good boy today Deb. Wow on Charlotte being a size 3...Chelsea is in a 2. But she is short and far to skinny....size 2 are sometimes to big on her....she shares her clothes with Jasmine LOL....oh a Big W sale....always on when we have no money!
We are not doing anything for V day Steph, but hard with 3 kids to go out. We might watch a movie or something when the girls go to bed..and then have a quite one in bed once Zach has had his last feed ;)
Fires were close to me...3 min drive away in fact...the street the girls FDC carer lives on, the houses burnt down...so she was lucky hers is still standing, but smells so bad of smoke.
Argh...Chelsea is now on antibiotics for her burns...plus antibiotic cream....and im back to the drs again for the next 2 days....i have been everyday now since Friday last week :(

Hi Ladies,
Just popping in quickly - my poor little man has had a cold. It's so heartbreaking seeing him sneezing and coughing and snuffling! Needless to say he has been really unsettled and no one is getting much sleep around here. He seems a little better today thankfully. It's my dads 60th party tomorrow night and I am looking forward to showing Harrison off to everyone, so hopefully he is feeling better.
Kim, I hope Chelsea is better real soon! :hug:
Deb, Hopefully Harley is a little more settled for you today.
Hello everyone else, hope you are all busy enjoying your bubbas :grouphug:
