the quick reply not being there is annoying lol...

didnt get much sleep last night, Jaylen woke up about 4 times to feed and was sleeping noisily in between LOL! was going to go back to sleep after the last feed but got the nurse coming... dammit why do they have to come early lol... so just fed him on one side, and hopefully after the nurse has gone i will feed him on the other side and he will go to sleep buttt i doubt it cuz hes sleeping now!

omg, i was changing him b4 and he started weeing, thats ok, just held the nappy over it, but then omg, he did a massive projectile poo!! shot all over the bed and all over me lol YUK! was quite funny tho

got these little peter rabbit pants, put them on him, thinking i better put them on cuz they wont fit for much longer (they're 0000) and they are too big!!! WTF! he weighed 9lbs why are 0000 too big hehe... not that im complaining, have so much 0000 stuff!

hmm well i spose i better go do something productive till the nurse comes...
OMG mum and her partner are coming to cut down the tree in front of my window 2day, YAY no more noise hehe

Morning girls, hope we all had a good weekend!

Jen, Its not good that you had such a bad experience with the hospital. How frustrating to have been labouring in a waiting room. :hugs: and to be sent home feeling unprepared just sucks. There is no love in the system, is there. i hop you can sort out the midwife visits and start to feel a little better about things.

Kate, Sammy is doing well. She coughed up these little puddles of clear liqud and vomited for 2 days, then coughed for another few! She is still on antibiotics but we dont think she needs any more cough mixture which is great cause itwas a mission to get thatin her mouth!

The domiciliary midwife is coming today.... Because I was put in an oncology ward for my stay, the referral was not faxed over to her. Luck I rang.

PMSL at myself when i didnt see the 'quick reply' i thought f*** how am i suppose to reply to the lovely ladies............and then i realised there was a 'post reply' button god im a goose.

Ok i've been MIA because Chris decided we NEEDED an external hard-drive that networks the desktop & laptop so i had go without all internet yesterday while he fart-a$rsed about doing that and i was having MAJOR withdrawals from BB but i did manage to have 2 naps before Chris woke me up to tell me he was hungry and that it would be a good idea if i started to cook his dinner, not happy jan and i went off at him 1 for waking me and 2 because i HAD to cook his dinner he could have started preparing dinner and then all i had to do was keep an eye on it, it was 7.30pm so we didnt eat until about 8.15pm.

Jess- Thats good that your mum says call her any time thats what mums are for, but good to hear your coping well. Lovely birth story, glad that you didnt have to wait too long to meet your little man i reckon he thought you'd waited long enough haha.

Nik- good to see you pop your head in. Thankyou for the congratulations, most appreciated. Good to hear that Amy is doing well & has become a little piglet.

Mary- Thankyou. Yeah Chris hasnt ever been overly romantic, but hes very australian in the way he does things. PMSL at your sister's proposal. I thought i had dropped enough hints that the proposal had to right but i think i'd annoyed him by taking the mickey. Glad that Sammy seems to be doing better.

Jen- GREAT birth story, you did so well. Did you get your primas & pancakes

April- thankyou for the congratulations most appreciated. Good to hear little Bodie is doing well. Nice one on picking up your ring & getting your dress altered, not long at all. My parents wedding anniversary is April 24th.

For those who are using bottles to either feed bubs with EBM or formula are you changing the teats as they recommend?, like say i'm using the AVENT bottles and the '1's' are for newborn and the '2's' are for from 1 month???????.

[_JeSs_]

LOL jo i thought that as well! i thought the thread was closed or something!
yer i think i waited long enough so he decided to come out quick!

jen, glad the nurse is coming to see you, i stil think it was rude how u were treated, u should tell her i think !

well mum and her dp came and cut the tree down, and cleaned up all out the front!! looks lovely but i duno how they did it, its like 36 degrees outside! going out there for tea and have to go to the chemist to get breast pads and lanosoh or whatever its called... ahh dont wanna go out in the heat, Jaylens going to be so hot! might go to best and less while im at the shopping centre and get some muslin wraps, all the blanket things i have are warm ones

well i better go i spose! yuk yuk yuk weather

Jo: On the bottles and teets, yes Bodie was on the Avent '1' teets but now i've put him onto the '2' teets now. It will tell you on the side of the box what age etc.
I'm also using Tommee tippee bottles & teets, they are good too.

Is anyone having trouble getting ready in the mornings and having there bubs practically screaming because they want to be picked up? I've been putting Bodie next to the TV in his rocker when I'm in the shower, he sits there quiet for about 10 mins then starts crying from then on! It drives me nuts! Most of the time I can't even make my lunch without him wanting to be picked up. I must be spoiling him too much. ??

April, i so know what your mean about getting readyin the morning. I am usually feeding Addy while Dh gets ready for work. I only manage the shower because he takes her while I have one- but I have to have it before he goes to work. But he is so impatient to get going! I scoff breakfast at a rapid rate trying to ignore her screams most mornings (all of 5 mins). Last friday, I was having a bad day where I couldnt put her down, there was barely any food in the house, so I put her in the car, drove to his office (he works alone luckily) handed her over and said I want lunch- walked over to the takeaway place and bought a hamburger. Once I ate, got back in the car and drove away!!

Jess, thank goodness that tree and noise is finally gone! I cant beleive you ddont have any muslin wraps! How did you miss not having them! Thats all we wrap her in so far.

Jo, thought it was quiet for you. Hope the computer is all hooked up. I have my own laptop- a second hand one from DH office so I never need to wait for him to play!

Jen, great you finally get some help. Let us know if you got some good advice and a bit more sorted.
