Hi there,
Kate - it's fine if his arms aren't hanging out. Amy sometimes has one out and the other one in. As long as they're comfortable who cares!? Funny comment on Mark. Will have to tell him he's popular with the bb ladies! hahahha.
thanks for the comments on the formula issues. will just keep at it. Am still trying to bf but have been very empty yesterday and today oh well. Gotta go, Amy's just woken up. Luv ya all!! Nik and Amy xxx

My DD is feeding every 2 hours today and not sleeping for more than an hour max so she will be very tired today. I wonder if she is getting enough to fill her up. My bb's feel soft but as soon as I squeeze the nipples something comes out so who knows... They only ever get hard after 4+ hours between feeds.
Kate- YAY on the baby bjorn. Amber is the same, she gets her arms tucked up in front of her chest and goes to sleep there. When we go shopping we can baby bjorn it! You are being a great mum too. Whoever says parenting is easy is kidding themselves. Its hard enough trying to work out why they are crying and I am still clueless on that. He has settled so that is a good thing.
Nik- I am dreading taking Amber for her needles. They did her needles at birth in front of DP and me and she screamed. I hear the needles make them tired but then they may be unsettled for a couple of days afterwards. Your Mark is definately a hit on here.
Carol- Hello there! I hope your little man and girl are treating mummy kindly today. Like you I cannot let my girl cry for too long. But we dont rush in there as soon as we hear a noise.
Karen- Hopefully your new car is more reliable.
Jo- We have introduced Amber to the cricket and DP has already bought her an AFL membership to North Melbourne. She will be a sporty kid. I cannot wait til my girl smiles properly and starts to laugh. Sure beats crying.
April- I forgot to ask. You got those vibrating feet for the cot. How does Bodie go with them?
My girl is down again but for how long? If we go by todays average it will be an hour.

hello everyone!
been out for most of the day 2day lol, bought a new phone, OMG im in love hahaha! bright purple and just so good lol.. and took a few things back and swapped sizes... AND ordered a new computer, YAY, i hate this computer, so slow... and paid some fines, so after i get the computer, theres all the baby money gone lol... oh well it got heaps of stuff...
sorry no time for many personals, jaylens still sleeping and will wake soon for a feed, so im going to have something to eat!
hope BTK is being better for u kate! i really think its formula that makes them unsettled, are u still giving him a bit of bb? cuz i bought them blackmores BFing tablets u said u were having and they made him SOOOO unsettled, like absolutly SCREAMING for a few hours
jen, jaylen was feeding every 1 n a half to 2 hours this morn... its like how could u be possibly hungry lol... im really going to try and keep going with BFing.. so much easier... and hes so much more settled on bb milk lol... he sometimes needs a topup on formula but yer
i need to get a baby bjorn, where do u get them?
hello everyone else!!

Nik- no problem for the advice on the formula.
Jen- Sophie is feeding similar today every 2hrs and shes only leaving 10-30mls except the last feed at 3pm when she left 100mls from 170mls before shed had enough and shes been awake more today than usual, but shes not screaming just playing on her activity gym and laying in her bouncer "watching" the cricket with me. I havent bought Sophie a membership to the Parramatta Eels as i'm not a member as we live in QLD but i have bought her a Eels t-shirt but its a size 2 (i think) so she wont fit into it for quite a while yet it was the only size they had at the time. Anything beats bubs crying and Sophie smiling, making her noises and trying to giggle just melts my heart and its SO cute. Amber in time will giggle/smile and make noises. SIL thinks Sophie will be an early crawler because shes been trying to crawl since about 2 weeks (the 1st time she had tummy time) and she also thinks Sophie will be on solids early too but i'll wait and see i'm not going to get my hopes up.
Kate- we have our 6 week check up on the same day haha, we chose friday more so because Chris can have the morning off work and then go in after our appointment.
Jess- any baby shop should sell the baby bjorns or similar.
OMG how long does the new medicare card take to get send, mine took 5 weeks FINALLY showed up today i was ready to have words with Medicare if it hadnt arrived by friday. The baby bonus arrived quicker for christ sake grrr sorry just needed to get that off my chest.
Registered User
Hmmm Jo. My medicare card came yesterday and the baby bonus is scheduled to come by Friday. I wonder why yours took longer. Its so cool having a medicare card with your babies name on it. Yours will be like mine where Sophies surname is different to yours... for now.
Amber is sleeping and has been doing so for 2 hours now YAY. Will give my BB's some time to fill up hopefully. I would really like my milk to stay good for awhile too.
Jess- Go the spending! I got my baby bjorn from ebay 2nd hand. It still works great. DP actually had a go in it the other day. But you can get them new from baby shops.
Registered User
Jess I've got a no name baby carrier, not a baby bjorn and it does the trick. lots cheaper.....theyre quite expensive brand new.....
jen - amy hasn't been paticularly tired.....just a little unsettled.....i took her bandaids off earier and she really didn't like that but they're not good for baby skin.....felt bad though
i'm lonely tonight but don't want company iykwim? amy's got a bit of a temp so have nuded her up and given her panadol. she seems much happier.....quiksilver pro finished today so i get my husband back tomorrow! Yay! i felt a bit jealous today cos he's at the closing party and i'm stuck at home. babies really don't have that much of an impact on the dad's life do they......except for all the good bits!! sorry throwing a bit of a pity party here! hehe....i need a nap!
hope you're all doing well xxx luv nik and amy
Nik - "pity party" - PMSL! I love that. Nah, I'd be jealous too. Oh and you're right, bubs hardly make an indent on their lives as they know it, day to day. They get all the good bits though! I hope you weren't offended by me saying Mark was good looking. Me and my big mouth!Sometimes it's nice to be at home just with bub I reckon. I hope your night is good and hope Amy feels better soon.
Billy just won't put his arms out where they should be so that's good that Amy does it too. As long as he's comfy I guess.
I fed him just before Michael got here and of course, he falls asleep like a little angel in front of daddy! Typical!
So Mark's into the surfing in a big way then? Not just a spectator. I had one of the Rip Curl dudes living with me when I was in Torquay. He was from France and travelled with the Pro. They had a GREAT life! He was the one who sourced all the locations etc. What a job!
Jess - Jesus! You go girl. And we thought you did a lot of shopping BEFORE! he he he... Must've been lots of fun. Good for you! Sorry about those vitamins. Billy's not having bb's any more. I gave up! I wonder if they were doing that to him? Hmmm...
Jo - too funny. Same dob for our bubs and same dr's appointments. Maybe we have some weird, psychic connection. pmsl! I hope yours goes well.
Jen - yeah, the Baby Bjorn shopping safari! Lovely! Amber will have a long sleep tonight if she's been unsettled all day, surely. Billy hasn't even changed position or spat his dummy out since he went down this afternoon. He must be buggered. He never sleeps with his dummy in.
I don't have my medicare card yet! What's the deal? I did only send in the registration of birth thing today though. Would that matter? I sent the medicare thing off ages ago, before the baby bonus stuff. Well, no, hang on, I took it into Centrelink. Am I thinking of the right form? Fark. So much paperwork for such a little person!
Well, I'm going to scrub the bath tub as I bathed Ocean in there today and there is fur everywhere! Poor thing. She had little dreddies on her back. I'm a bad fur baby mummy... I'm sure she would've preferred never to have a bath again but I reckon she looks much happier and she smells heaps better!
I'll be back later.
Lots of love.

Jo - just had a look at your facebook. Awesome pics. Are there meant to be newer ones that Feb 28th of Sophie? I thought I saw someone said that somewhere or something or I've lost it...pmsl

Hi Girls.
Here I am Maz... I have to say I was feeling a bit like Bindy in the 'they won't even notice I'm not there' department...Everyone seems so close & to know what's going on with eachother so when I post in here I feel like I'm kind of intruding...? Weird but true. It might be because the threads move kinda fast (on the days I can't make it to the computer atleast lol) & I miss stuff.
Nice to know you noticed my absence though, don't I feel special?!I'll try to check in more often.
I have been having all sorts of issues here, Scally & I are all on our lonesome atm & I'm supposed to be packing for our move, then I'd been giving Scally top ups of formula because I though that she needed 'em but that turned into 2 or 3 bottles a day & I was feeling guilty & crap... after some sage advice from Barb in the Breastfeeding Support section we are doing much better, no ff since early yesterday morning & she is asleep as we speak... or type lol. She has been waking up every 1 to 2 hrs through the night which I hope is just a phase but it's not the bf as she started it when I was still comping with ff.
Like Maddy she is in 00, but like our clothes some are little & some are huge & she still fits in some 000. 00 is better to fit in her cloth butt though, even in a sposie the snaps only just do up, she seems to have a long torso while her hands are hiding in the sleeves!
Hi to everyone, will try to read over some of the stuff I missed tomorrow if I get a chance.
Oh Kate, just saw your post about your medicare card - You'll be so excited when you do get it, I was when I got mine with her name under mine, it was even better than getting her birth certificate lol.
Also, who was wanting a baby bjorn...? I've got one Scally hates I was going to sell on ebay.
