OMG....my 'little' Zachy isnt so little....he is now 4.6kg.....gained 230grams in a week!!!
Boogers - that's an interesting thing to put the water up there. I've had to fess Judd 3 times yesterday and again this morning. He's really got a bit of a cold coming on. He had a temp of 37 last night, so gave him some panadol to stop it getting any higher and he's been fine ever since. He's getting stuffed up again, but it seems to be clearing better than the other day.
On the comment on un-settled bubs, I?ve had 3, so you do get used to it. You also get used to diagnosing it too. But after the really bad night he had the other week, that?s when I took him to the Dr and got him onto Zymal. He still has unsettled moments, but still seems better than before.
He has very green poo?s though, what?s with that? Is that just a bit old/constipated still??
Geez Zach's growing! Judd's next weigh in is next Thurs. Can't wait to see how much he's put on, he's finally getting chubby legs!
TASH my MCHN told me that the green poo is from mum (if your bf) eating too much sugar! Have you been enjoying a few lollies or choc? ;)
My boy is alot more settled now he is on Losec and we put him for a sleep on his tummy. I know its a no - no, but its what gets him to sleep. A few weeks ago it was crying and screaming for hours day and night. Now we only have a little bit of it (like yesterday, but we 3 days in row previous without it :dance:). The heat dont help either, Ive had a few days were he only slept a bout 3 hrs all day and had to be held the rest of it!!!
I had to take JD to the GP yesterday as he has a rash all over his head. Its a bit like little pimples. He said its just hormonal and will go away on its own. Anyway, I was freaking out cause he was screaming his head off as I was walking in the medical center and everyone was looking at me and laughing at him cause he was so worked up. Thank god I bought a bottle with me as soon as I sat down I chucked it in his mouth and he shut up. I was so worried that he would start up again but thank God he feel sound asleep just as he was finishing it. He woke up a a bit as we were leaving but feel asleep again in the car so I thought I am going for a drive while he is quiet. it was nice to get out of the house.
I am going to try and have a quiet one with him today and hopefully I might get a nap in myself as I feel so tired.
Because I am not BF anymore I am going back on the combined pill. I will be happy then cause I am concerned about falling pregnant again since I am not BF. I even thought I had period pain the other day which was weird, but I guess it could happen anytime now, can't it?
Anyway have a lovely day ladies.
Ruby has the same hormonal rash Amanda...ive noticed at 6 weeks with every baby and it always clears on its own. Glad you could get out driving on your own.
Its gotten quiet in here again!
We had an ultrasound on Ruby's hips today, as Paed detected a click but shes been given the all clear which is good. Darren had his day off today so we all went to the movies and the boys got their hair cut. Ive sorted out my uni enrolment for next week...arrghh actually have to start thinking again! Im so lucky though that Darren will be home for every Wednesday while im there..i wouldnt leave Ruby if that wasnt the case. As it is I will be so nervous leaving her despite how wonderful Darren is and how I know she can take a bottle with ebm..its still not the same, but I need to finish this degree!!!
We have a massive pile of kids over today..currently a few in the pool now. The big girls all have friends staying over tonight so im hiding out in the study for a moments peace!
Jo
Jo - I dont know how you do it!!! Studying was an idea I had too for when kids are at home but I think I'm dreaming. I hope you can manage to get your degree done asap. What are you studying if you dont mind me asking?
Puppies - April has the rash too but it is fading although it tends to come and go. Glad you had some peace driving in the car. I know the feeling - especially when my DS (who struggles to sleep during the day these days) falls asleep in the car too - oh bliss!!! I turn off the nursery rhyme CD and put on my favourite radio station and pretend I am young, free and single (hehe) reminiscing the music of my youth.
tash - sorry to hear Judd is poorly. Look after yourself too hun.
salsa - glad ur lil man is more settled - you must be exhausted!!
kim & deb - yeah, all good - despite a horrible day with DS yesterday where was at my wits end. Lord, these terrible 2's are hard!!!
kim - love the name change hun!
hello everyone else - big hugs!!!
btw - didnt even realise til I logged on now that I hadn't even got onto BB yesterday - i tell you it was not a normal day yesterday :(
LOL Plc..its nice pretending to be young again! Am doing a bach of social work..am in my final year thankfully. We used to be foster carers so wanted to jump onto the other side so to speak and be more proactive that way.
Jess and Em have caught a bus and gone shopping with their friends so its just the little three here now...a little quieter. We are heading out for a friends birthday this arvo..so hot hot hot here.
Hope you are all keeping well
Jo
Hey all,
Salsa - I'm not breastfeeding, so it can't be too much sugar. Prob the Zantac or Coloxyl, as it's only been green since I started the Zantac. Sleep him on his tummy if it helps. My SIL had the same issue with her second one. Once she put her on her tummy, no more sleeping probs. Just keep an eye on them during the day, and try and put on the back at night and see how you go.
Judd's had rashes too, but mostly from the heat. Amanda, when you're a first time mum, you do worry about all of these things. I'm glad I'm over that. I was lucky too, as my SIL and I had Patrick and Elli at the same time, so I would call her and ask her about these things before going to the Dr, but still took off at the drop of a hat for things I thought was wrong. You'll get there. How are you going on your meds, are they ok for you?
Well had a bad day on Thurs with Judd unsettled (feeding frenzy all day due to growth spurt) and Riley screaming all day due to lack of sleep and teething. I called DH to come home as it was just too hard to deal with both. He took Riley out in the Kia for a drive at 8:30pm (he'd been screaming most of the day) and when they were out, the transmission died!!! The car is only 7 years old and has done around 65,000 k's, so we're a bit upset about it. Won't know the $$ damage until Mon at the earliest.
Other than that, things are going well.
Hope you all had a great weekend.
I have had a busy weekend. Yesterday we had to take JD over to the inlaws to meet an old Aunty who is turning 80. She is Aunty to FIL. That was nice but JD was having trouble settling. He wanted to go to sleep but just couldn't nod off and he was getting frustrated. In the end I had t settle him in the sling and keep him in it till we went home, man this kid is getting heavy, my should was about to drop off by the time we left, but at least he wasn't crying.
This afternoon I had 4 of my girlfriends pop over to meet JD. He was the same again. He wanted to go to sleep but just couldn't nod off properly and he was in the sling on me again. I have to say that the sling took a bit of getting used to but now I can't live without it! Don't know what I will do when he gets bigger!
And tonight I have the inlaws over for dinner, man what I would give for a quiet night tonight. Ahh well its nice having the company anyway. On an exciting note though I got on my bike this afternoon after my friends left and went for a short ride. It felt great to back on. I was worried that I might have forgotten how to ride but it came back to me pretty quick. I look forward to doing that again soon. Funny thing was I can't stop thinking about JD, no matter what I am doing he is constantly on my mind, not in a bad way just consumed by him thats all. I love him so much.
I have mothers group again tomorrow. I really pray that JD is better than he was last week. But I am looking forward to it. Anyway better get to bump he is crying.
Hi girls, well it was a bit of a rough night. I think DH was up at about 1ish with JD and I got up at about 2.30am to him wanting his dummy in. I went back to bed only to get up again at 3ish to put it in again. I tried sleeping on the lounge so I wouldn't disturb DH, but couldn't nod back off, plus I could hear JD squirming and groaning. Eventually I fed him at 4am and he is back sound asleep. As for me there is no way I can get back to sleep now, so I washed up from dinner, made DH lunch, washed and made more bottles for JD and am now about to finish my cornflakes. After that I will jump in the shower while I have a chance and get ready for Mothers Group and then just flake out on the lounge until my little monster wakes again. Oh I can tell its going to be a long and tiring day.
How do you know if they are going through a growth spurt? Is it more frequent feeds, more unsettled periods etc? And is there such a thing as growing pains? I remember my mum used to say that to us when we were little.
Hi Ladies,
I think the lack of sleep is starting to catch up with me! It is getting harder and harder to get out of bed at night. DS has gone back to feeding every 3hrs at night and last night I let him cry for probably 5 minutes before I got up to him (not a hysterical cry, just a grizzley cry) - I'm just exhausted!! DH got up with him this morning and kept him amused for a couple of hours so I could sleep in. How on earth do you cope with a newborn and a toddler???!!!
DS is so perfect in everyway, I just wish he would start stretching his sleep out some more - Are there any tricks to it??
Sorry for the me post - just so tired! I hope everyone is doing well :grouphug:
Hey girls
Well we got back from our camping trip yesterday, both kids were really good! Harley was very easy to take, Charlotte needed to listen a bit more but just being the normal 2 year old hehe.
Had Harleys 6 week check up and he is now 4.7kg, 54cm and 38.5 head. So very happy with how he is growing! The health nurse couldn't stop saying how cute and alert he is and how strong he is for his age, try to stand on his legs already! Most ppl say how strong he is. Also very good on his tummy!
I was lucky last night, he fed at 10.30, didn't wake till 2.30 and then woke up at 4.30 but only had about 40ml, then woke at 6.40, if it wasn't for waking at 4.30 would of had a perfect night, but not complaining with that!
Im not sure how u can get them to stretch out their sleep, Harley has had a bit extra to drink and has seemed to make him sleep a bit longer, but not all the way thru yet!
How did mothers group go Amanda? Hope JD sleeps better tonight, its a bugger having the dummy, Harley hasn't needed his to settle, seems to do that pretty well, tries to find his thumb but not done it yet!
Victoria: I dunno how I do it with 2 of them, especially a toddler, especially when she throws a carton of eggs on the kitchen floor!! But I wouldn't change it for the world!
Big hellos to everyone else, hope u are all well! Hope ur bubs are treating u well too :)
Take care!
Deb :)
Arggggggggggggggggghhh Im home.....travellign interstate with 2 toddlers and a NB is NOT fun.
That is all.....
Hey Deb....look under your user name ;)
Hey Kim!
Oh sounds like u didn't have fun at all travelling...must say even though it was only a couple of hours, my 2 were really good, only had Harley wake up when we were getting close to the campsite then home!
I noticed that under my username... How did it get there??? I'm thinking its a good thing
Kim - what a job that must of been!! I hope you get a chance to put your feet up today.
Deb - Sounds like Harley is doing so well. Well done! OMG about Charlotte and the eggs - did you laugh or cry?? :lol:
Well DF decided he would get up for DS last night and let me get a decent nights sleep. I expressed enough milk for two feeds and went to bed sooo happy knowing I didn't have to get up until morning. Well DS decided to sleep for 6 hours straight :rolleyes:. DF looked at me with a cheeky grin in the morning and said "i don't know what all the fuss is about - I got plenty of sleep!"
Well I ended up in tears on the phone to the health nurse as she rang right when I found the mess...she was so good though, made me feel a bit better, then Rob called...I can see the funny side now, but never wanna see that again lol!!!
Seems Harley has dropped a feed, good though cos he was having like 8 bottles a day, but only smaller amounts, is now drinking 150ml most feeds so seems to be better! Will be 4 hours since his last bottle in 5 mins!! So happy with that!
Hi girls remember me :lol: Sorry I haven't been on I kinda forgotten until now :redface: But I am back again :D
Well Ryley and I are well. He has been sleeping from 10pm until 3am the last few nigths which is good I hope he stretches it out a bit more but I ain't pushing it and he is getting so heavy too and I been getting lots of smiles and little laughs as well...MCHN also said he is a very strong boy for his age and he grabs on things really hard as well and the bottle..Had our 6 week check up and Ryley is good except for a small detail which I am too embarressed to say and me well the doc was concern about my post natal bleeding because I had no breaks and I had a ultrasound and all is good thank god..And the lack of sleep ah it kills but its all part of the package..
Kim-glad to hear you survive the trip somewhat..Your very brave..And love the name change..
Deb-glad the camping trip went well..And also love your name change..
Puppies-Ryley had a little rash and those little pimples too and they have seem to gone away I didn't like either and he had a horrible heat rash when it was really hot weather and it went away in a few days..With growth spurths Ryley fed up to every 2 hours and sometimes had 200mls :O No wonder he is so heavy..
Hello to everyone else and hope you are all well..
Kirsten
WB Kirsten!!
Dont be embarrassed if Ryley has any issues....we are here for you regardless. lad your u/s went well :)
