April: Nice one on Bodie rolling onto his side, hopefully he keeps going with the rolling. I know its amazing watching them do things especially when they dont think your watching. I was glad to that Sophie didnt react to her shots SIL kept telling me she would have a reaction, but i just kept checking her temperature & had panadol there if needed. After Sophie got her shots done i must have looked like i was going to cry or i lost the colour in my face because the nurse seemed a little concerned about me asked twice if i was ok i dunno. Sophie's been sleeping better during the day since having her shots, sometimes she'd only go down for an hour and wake up for an hour and then go down for 2hours, makes it hard to get things done around the house.

HAPPY 5MONTHS TO BODIE!!!

Silly weather here in QLD yesterday morning it rained here pretty heavy (it woke me up-tin roof) then it was just overcast all day some rain arounf 10pm last night and this morning it had been raining again and about 10mins ago it started raining again. Wonder what winter will bring considering Autumn felt like winter.

Friends of ours have a 3month old girl and are talking about ttc #2 from december but everytime i bring the topic up with Chris about when we'd like to start TTC #2 he finds something else to talk about. I'm not saying i want to start right now i just want to know what we both think we need to agree.

Hi all!

Having a nice week with my parents doing lots of cuddling so I get a break (to do housework, washing and other jobs-LMAO!!) They go home tomorrow so I will miss them after that.

Went out shopping today, found the 'bright bots' factory and seconds shop- they have some great bargains! Bought another sleeping bag, towel (she is outgrowing her square baby towels!!) and some swimmers to take up to North Qld next week.

Anyway, Addie hasnt pooped for 6 1/2 days now, and is very irritable. Fun! SHe had her immunisations Tuesday also so maybe partly from that.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Brisbane is in for a wet weekend, so fairly quiet round here.

Hugs
Mary

Hi girls and bubs,

Yes, I said I'd be here every day. My bad.

Had some pre-cancerous cells removed from my cervix on Wednesday. Seems all went ok. Never had a general anesthetic before... I swear the dr looked like George Clooney! Anyway, other than that, not much else.

Hope you're all great. I'll pop back in after the weekend when I feel better.

Much love to all.

Hi everyone!

Kate, hope you are okay! fingers crossed everything will be fine

Hawksey, it's nice spending time with your parents hey. I found I enjoy it more now that I am a mum.

Nik, how's your diet going? I currently have to steer clear of dairy, chocolate and peanuts as Sander might have allergies (he's got eczema pretty bad) and find it really difficult. Had to do it before, as I got food allergies/intolerance after I had glandular fever. I wasn't allowed sugar, cocao, diary and spicy stuff. It was easier than as I had all the side effects. But I grew over it and my sweet tooth returned during the pregnancy and now I really have to try and ignore it! (will be good for my weight tho!)

Well I got Sander weighed and measured last Wednesday and he's a whopping 7730 / 66,5cm. He's like a month a head. He did alright with his shots. Only cried for a minute and than started babbling and laughing, not much of a reaction afterwards either thank god.

Work was really busy and I now enjoy 3 days off! Better start doing some household chores!

I hope everyone is having a relaxed weekend!

Hey Girls!

Sorry I have been MIA for a while, just slack really.

Hope you are all well, will have to read all the posts and do some catching up!

Madeleine is great, now 10kgs and 5 months old tomorrow, she's now rolling on her own, she won't stay on her back without doing her famous roll. She also imitates us eating which is so funny and cracks us up every time, she'll pretend to be chewing something and have the most serious look on her face. She's also on solids now, enjoys her rice cereal/fruit in the mornings and pumpkin/potato at lunch. Is a big pumpkin fan! Then she'll have some fruit at night. Madeleine is also laughing plenty and generally a happy kid (she has her days though where she is grumpy but they are few and far between HAHAHAHAHAHA). She also has her two bottom teeth too (got them at 4 months old) so they are popping right out now. Sleeping wise, she'll generally have her last feed at 9pm and will sleep through until 7am.

We recently bought her a new high chair, the Steelcraft Messina which looks rather comfy and she loves sitting up in that.

When I went to Mothers Group on Friday, she was playing in Dayl's DS' (Tonydayl is also a member on here and her DS Fraser is same age) Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo. I desperately wanted to buy one and they are $189 and would you believe I got one on ebay yesterday for $100! The seller's DD was only in it for 3 months so it's a bargain!! Madeleine will just love it, so much to entertain her in it!

Nothing much else happening, resigned a couple of weeks ago so will miss my boss but will focus on bringing Madeleine up now and be a SAHM. Oh and I turned 30 in May.

Hope you are all well, ok, will go and read some of your posts now!

Lotsa Love Bindy and Madeleine xx

Hi Everyone

This is embarrassing, but I read through all your posts and then when I go to post replies I forget most of everyone's names I have a bad memory for names, so I am sorry

So thank you to everyone who replies to my posts and your helpful advise (Mary, Ape23, Bonham, Jenjams, Maz, Nikiw [I think])

I am going to have to get some practice at remembering.

I hope everyone is doing well. I am reading a book at the moment about the natural ways to breastfeeding (I actually think that is what it is called)

Francis is still not rolling over yet, but he likes sucking his fists and sucking on his lower lip. He also likes to be carried around everywhere and we must maintain eye contact with him at all times, as long as we do this he is all smiles...Not much gets done here as you can guess

My partner recorded a new ring tone for my mobile phone....YES Francis crying, I discovered that yesterday!!! Isn't he so thoughtful, now no matter where I go now, I can hear the demanding cuddle me, feed me, just look at me cries of my baby On a positive though it may help with the milk supply everytime someone calls me.

Love to you all
Karen

Karen, had to laugh about the ringtone! Reading back on some posts, sorry you are having issues breastfeeding, I had so many issues after the 3rd week and chose to FF so seeing that you are still BF at 3 months is fantastic, well done for sticking with it. As for rolling, Madeleine just started last week and she's almost 5 months old! Have a good afternoon.
