Babies Born July 16th - 31st 2008 #2

(SW where are you.... ... hehehe)

I'm only an sms away, babe! You know that Just not posting here much because I'm over the site frequently having problems!!

Quick update:
Alyssa has put on close to 1kg since leaving the hospital, so she's doing FAB on breast milk! Currently has terrible milk rash, but obviously we don't care because it doesn't last long, doesn't bother her and we still think she's just the most gorgeous thing! We've not got a vaporiser in her room and it helps IMMENSELY with the snotty nose thing - if anyone is spending hours with a screaming baby who hates the fess drops and aspirator, I recommend a vaporiser... It changed her sleeping from 1 hr to 3 or 4 hours without a snotty nose. Brilliant.

Oh, and we also learned not to leave the house without a change of clothes for Alyssa (and as it turned out, also for me!!!). Figures that the one time I did go somewhere without the spare clothes and she leaked runny yellow poo all over herself, the baby bjorn, her mummy, etc etc etc. I think it is the new nappies from a well known brand who claims that they have only changed the printing on the nappies and not the nappies themselves (although upon (not even) close inspection, the nappies shows quite a number of differences OTHER than the print!!! And we've had NO leaky nappies until we opened the new box yesterday, and 4 leaky nappies since then - be they wet or dirty!).

ok - enough for me! Grand Designs time! My fave TV show =))))

Hey SW good to see you back! Yay for Alyssa putting on a kg!
If the nappies you are having problems with are huggies, I have noticed a few people have posted threads re: problems with huggies in the last few days:

Pixie- I have no problems with huggies. I love huggies nappies.

Pixie - spot on The new ones are CRAP!! Enough to turn a girl to cloth! LOVE the new pics of Beth, btw - she's so adorable!!

Anastasia - have you purchased any of the new design ones? They have different pictures on them - and I have had huge problems with them along with many others on these forums.

Other news here is my friend had a baby girl yesterday. 29 weeks gestation, 1.06kg, 36.5 cm long. Teeeeny little thing, and she's doing fantastically well! Breathing on her own, screaming down the house and doing all sorts of things that a baby THAT premmie isn't really expected to be doing! Everyone is really happy with her and feels she's doing very well, so we're all thrilled to bits. Friend has had an organ transplant, so anti rejection drugs and such have been causing problems with placenta. They knew that she'd be taken out any time after 26 weeks, so every day after that was a bonus! I haven't stopped smiling since I got the phone call yesterday to say how healthy she was - made the whole experience of leaky nappy and getting crapped on so much more bearable!! =)

SW - Congrats to your friend. That's fantastic the bubba is doing so well. Yeah, I didn't think babies at that gestation would do so great. I haven't been game enough to use the new huggies. We had one box of the old design ones, but I'm loving the babylove ones better. Working great for us.
Great weight gain by your little girl. Hayden is the same, a kilo heavier then his birth weight.

Pixie/Bear - Your little princess is adorable.

Tasia - What a brave little man you have. I'm so not looking forward to the immunisations. Both the boys will be having them on the same day. DS1 will have his before school ones, and DS2 will have the first lot, 2month ones. I'll be a wreck. My Dp does it all and I just cover my eyes and stand in the corner. Lol.

Thanks for the info about DTD. I'm curious and nosey.
Yeah, I don't know if I feel ready emotionally yet, aswell as 'downstairs'. Idk. I'm thinking if I didn't get stitches things would be different.
and def. don't need/want any more babies.. yet (or maybe not at all. Not sure yet) Lol

Somewoman- Are they the ones with pooh bear & Tigger on them? If so, no probs here.

Anyway I'm off to feed my little prince & then off to bed. Nite all

[somewoman]

Somewoman- Are they the ones with pooh bear & Tigger on them? If so, no probs here.

Just one big pic of pooh on the front. there's a couple of different Pooh pics, but so far they've all been pooh on his own - different poses.

the pooh and tigger are the older ones - they are the good ones.

Mel: I'll talk to Chris, see what he wants to do....I might even leave him to watch the grand final and just come myself with the kids, we have a few weeks to work it out. An hour to have a bottle!! Ash finishes hers (when she had them) within 15mins max! Happy 1mth Mehkelti!

Feeb: Thats great the LC comes to you! Fantastic that all went well!

Kell: Glad I'm not the only one re: dummy to get more sleep haha. Great to here Jesse is better. Jayden had a rash on his back and front last night but faded a fair bit today, he has hardly eaten anything since yesterday and he has been really whingy and cranky....hopefully just a phase and not getting sick again. If we could have got a refund on him last night we would have! He dropped my phone on Ash while I was feeding her and she detached and cried so loud...poor bubba!! Sorry to hear Keira & Jesse played up for you today! Jayden was whingy badly while we were out today but then I got Ashlea out of the pram, put Jayden in and he went to sleep for 2hrs while we shopped.

Mez: Its hard when they cry and you have done everything for them...hang in there just keep thinking about how cute she is! Awww Izzy laughed for you already!! How adorable!

Missy: Bugger about your job but as you said least you can spend more time with Liam & Callum

Tenny: No DTD here, usually its me wanting to but nup not interested in the slightest, beside I too am still bleeding but only just. After Jayden it took 5mths before we DTD but that was DP's fault, I don't know why I think he had weight issues with me.

Zee: I haven't got Ashlea's BC yet either, not sure if they have charged me for it though I haven't checked.

Rach: Great pics, the nappy fits perfectly! Beth is adorable!

Tasia: Jonathan is a good boy for only crying for a minute, Jayden was like that too for all his needles. I didn't feel sorry for him at all for his 1st shots, fingured he put me through more pain having him so he can deal with a little jab haha I'm a mean mummy!

SW: Great to hear Alyssa is going so well with BF'ing! Jayden got the worst case of milk rash I have ever seen (I have a pic on FB if you want to see it) your right, they don't have it for long and they are still beautiful! Oh poor you with the poo everywhere! We have had that happen too (with J not A yet). I have had problems with Jayden's nappies but Ashlea's are ok. A lot of ppl have complained about them. I bought Jayden Aldi nappi's which are great during the day but I think he must wee too much at night and they don't hold but others say they are great day and night. Congrats to your friend, thats great she is going so well!

Another big post...how do you girls (and bear) have short posts?? I must talk too much LOL

Ashlea is still feeding good, but still a little paranoid about how much weight she is gaining. We ended up shopping all day today as Jayden fell asleep in the pram so it was easier to stay until he woke up. I'll have to go shopping again tomorrow as I have to organise my dad's father's day pressie and send it or it won't get there in time. What is everyone getting their DH's/DP's for fathers day....esp the 1st time daddy's (Rach you don't have to answer in case Geoff see's haha) I am getting Chris a stereo for his car, just a cheapo from Aldi. He was going to buy it so I said I'd get it for fathers day, but they had sold out here so he thinks I couldn't get it but I am getting my mum to send one up from Melb.

NOthing else exciting here....Uploaded a heap of pics on FB last night, might do a few more tonight....Jayden had a great time with paint this arve, had to take pics of it!

[Zee]

TheBear- Opps I totally forgot about that, thanks for reminding me!!!

Missy- Haha your a crack up.. Poor lil liam, hope he gets better

Kellxx- Laila was on infacol, works really good hey? Im in for Friday 12th, I was thinking a nice park or some play place like lolliepops instead of shops so we can sit down and all talk.

Belle- Did you get my txt tonight?

Tenny- Your not the only one hun, ive been feeling so down aswell

Feeb- Poor Jacob, im so not looking forward to that.

Tasia- Lucas had what looked like cradle cap but it was just skin peeling, I will also be trying what Kellxx said. Congrats on the weight loss!!

Lucas got weighed on Monday, he was 3.9kgs..he had put on 290grams in the week.

Well I just did the baby bonus claim, thought I better. I just didnt wanna do it yet cause im so lazy atm LOL and the money is going into an account for Lucas so I just thought it could wait but I forgot about medicare and FTB.

Im so tired, Lucas would not sleep at all today..must be having a growth spurt cause he just wanted to feed all day. DH had to work till 8pm tonight so by the time he got home at 9.15 I was in tears. He takes Lucas off me and the little **** went to sleep within 10mins.

Anyway hello all the people I missed, gunna go to bed cause the carpets/lounge are getting cleaned again tomorrow.
