Missy - I hope everything goes ok with Liam. How do you get Hernias? Do they just form on their own or something? No idea what they'll do. I hope it's nothing too invasive.
Kell - Whoohoo! Awesome to hear Keira is sleeping through the night. OMG!!!!! what a scary dream.
Feeb - What a brave little man you have. I'm glad his injections went well.
Pixie - I hope Beth gets over her cold real fast.
Tasia - I hope the craddlecap clears soon.
Mez - YAY! Your DH is almost home. Whoohooooooo!
Awh, all you ladies and your meetups.
I wish I could meetup, but then again I'm really really shy.
Hayd has a routine going now. He has been sleeping through the night for weeks, then wakes 6:30/7am feed, goes back to sleep till at least 10am, then he's awake the rest of the day until about 4pm. Then he doses during the evening and wakes up to be fed, then usually his last feed for the day is 11:30pm/midnight. Then it starts all again.
I'm pretty happy with it. I can't complain.
I've been a bit lost lately. Kind of really down. I'm hoping it passes soon and doesn't drag my further down. Ah well... ***** happens, aye.
Also it's like I can't fully shake this damn cold off cause I'm so so rundown. It's hanging around like bad smell.
Sorry, such a poor effort by me. xoxo

: Oops. Fixed some spelling.
I have briefly read through the posts....its getting too late I need to be in bed!
Tasia: I saw your qu about cradle cap, Jayden had it really bad when he was a bub and I was told from my SIL who is a hair dresser to use bicarb, mix it with just enough water to make a paste and massage it in when he's in the bath. It worked wonders for Jayden but then I know someone else that tried and it didn't work (no harm was done though so might be worth a try).
Its been raining pretty much all day today, SIL came to pick J up for day care and ended up staying for quite a while with the other day care kids cause there was nothing else they could do because of the rain. Then when they left I put together my new exercise bike (which Chris is not happy that I bought). I had the shopping to do as well but didn't leave home until 3.30pm and I was meant to pick J up at 4pm...lucky I don't get charged extra for being late, I got caught up with a guy I used to work with and didn't get to pick J up until 5.30pm!
I had my 2nd cup of coffee since J was born today, just felt like it for some reason....don't think I will do it again, Ashlea had slept no more than 1.5hrs all day then went to sleep at about 7.30pm I had to wake her to feed her at 11pm and she is out like a light again....She's swaddled good so hopefully I don't hear her until at least 6am haha.
I think I have another busy day tomorrow but I will try to catch up on personals soon nighty night!
ETA: Oh I nearly forgot....Wednesday I said to Chris that I won't bath Ashlea as I was too busy making dinner, cleaning up etc and HE offered to have a shower with her!! He asked if it would be ok, I said she's a little slippery but that would be fine to shower with her! I couldn't believe it so I took pics...above the waist of course (uploaded on FB).

went to lollypops last weekend and there is no way i can do it without my DH or mum or something isaac is just too wild and will just run off. i think either Castle towers or the rouse hill park. 4 the meet it seems sentral (ish)
ok isaac just woke
oh and yesterdays family photo's session was a nightmare all 3 cried most of the time....
Yep ive heard the olive oil is good too for the cradle cap.. just becareful you wash it all off before going in the car. Even its not really that hot atm.. the sun can come through the back window and burn bub's head
Tannis.. oh glad Chris is starting to get his butt into gear and helping you out hun!
Syd gals.. we'll see whats around, park wise. My only problem with somewhere like lollypops is ill have to be chasing Jesse around the whole time and wont really get to sit and talk.. plus chasing and looking after Keira might be fun also.. not. If you get me. I mean otherwise theres always that play area in Castle Towers? Its a bit smaller than lollypops and theres tables and chairs right there.
Zee.. hope Lucas is better for you today hun. Yep infacol is great! I never knew about that stuff with Jesse.. poor mite had colic and wind so bad when he was a baby.
Tenny.. thats great Hayden is in a routine, makes it all a bit easier hey. Oh hun, look after yourself ok. If you ever want to chat im here ok. Either on msn or pms or email. Is there anything youre feeling down about in particular? Ive been having some bad days too.. especially when my kids play up. Its a hard job to do raising kids.
Missy.. oh poor Liam. My gf's daughter has a belly button that sticks out.. imagining a complete inny but in reverse. Im not sure if shes ever had it checked out though. Ill have to ask. What will they do for it?
Mez.. have you tried giving Izzy a bath of an evening and massage etc? Dim the lights or use least amount of light possible. Is she wrapped? Maybe during the day when shes awake take her out of the wrap as much as possible and then wrap her when you want her to sleep so she may get the hint, wrapping is for sleeping? Also, if Keira wakes during the night, i usually leave her nappy and not change it. She's usually fine until morning in it, but have found changing her nappy wakes her up more. You can get a Calm remedy from Braun also for babies.. maybe that might help her of a night? Hope she starts behaving for you soon!
Another pretty good night here (Keira wise!). She fed at 10pm, woke at 5am and was back asleep by 5.30am so am pretty happy with that. Would be happier if Jesse would stop waking up through the night moaning until i go in and tuck him in. I dont get why hes doing it. He has the blankets on him mostly when i go in there so i dont think hes cold. But when i go him his eyes are closed like hes asleep and he's fine once ive tucked him in then walk out. I feel like crap every morning from the broken sleep im getting.
Keira has her 6 week check up this morning. FIL is coming to watch Jesse so i dont have to lug him with me yay! Plus its raining and would be a biarch getting both kids out of the car in the wet.
Just a quick note as im off to blacktown to get some things.
Anastasia thats cool about the cradle cap. I bath Liam in QV oil (best stuff ever and did with Callum) and I rub in olive oil but I dont rinse it off. Was told to leave it so I do but its cool what your doing. I only use a little but I do his whole body. Love the feel of it too.
Kell hun I dont know what they will do. I was hoping some one could tell me. Yes ask your g/f and let me know. How big does it stick out. Liams is abit and you can push it back in. Alot of babies get it after birth. It sux big time.. Ill show you at the meet up
Kristy - sorry you didn't have a good day with the photographer - I would imagine it would be very difficult to get three babies to smile at the same time!!!! DS only smiles for the camera if he is trying to grab at it at the same time I hope the twins start sleeping through for you soon - fingers crossed!!! Great news about the weight loss - woohoo - way to go!!!!!! I haven't started my diet yet - although I REALLY need to.... but since my laptop has died, I've lost my diet plan - and have to make up another one.. arghhh... took me ages to get that one figured out...
Anastasia - I'll try to get my diet plan from someone on BB that I know I sent it to... otherwise I'll have to make another one up and send it to you. Oh and we used a paste of olive oil and bi carb on DS when his cradle cap was bad. It worked a treat, but we never kept up with it - got too busy!!! Lucky his hair is long now and covers it...lol
Kel - I told DH I wanted to start using Infacol, and he's like, why the colic relief stuff is working - so unless she starts screaming again, I don't think I'll get my way with that one!!! But hooray for the long sleeps - you have a little star there!! Wish I had the same in this house... DS has been moaning at night too - I think his 2 year molars are seriously hurting him - he says "owie" during the day and says "mouth" when I ask what is hurting him, so I think they are on their way... bugger!!!!! boohoo for your AF arriving too - haven't got mine yet... good luck for bubs appointment today too - and I'm soooo jealous about those sleeps still.... not fair..
Feeb - I'm glad Jacob was good for his needles - its awful when they scream blue bloody murder for them!!! Panadol beforehand is what we do in this house too. Thats a great weight gain too - hooray!!!
Pixie - I hope Beth's cold has cleared up a bit and she is breathing a bit more easy - have you got a vaporisor? I've found that helps clear them out heaps during nap time and night sleeps..
Mez - yay for your DH coming home today - woohoo!!!!! Hang in there with Izzy's sleeping habits - it won't last forever, soon she will be sleeping through the night and you will let all this be a distant memory (until you have another one and THEN you will be like.. ahhh.. crap... I remember!!!)
Missy - Aricyn's belly button sticks out too - he was checked for a hernia ages ago, but nothing came of it. I hope they decide its nothing too serious!!! Did you try the Dimetapp?
Tenny - you will have to come up here and meet up with me and Tan I'm sorry you are feeling down - we are here for you if you need to vent, cry, biatch, moan, complain - whatever - you know we love you!!! What a great routine your bub is in - fantastic!!!!! I hope you shake that cold soon too.
Zee - that is a FANTASTIC weight gain - you must be very proud of yourself - Dontcha hate it when bubs will sleep for someone else but will not close their eyes when you are holding them.. grrr.. frustrating!!!!!
Tan - I have an exercise bike too - its great - burns more calories than going on the treadmill too And woohoo for Chris taking a shower with Ash - Maybe he doesn't need a mellie slappin after all
Well DD is stirring in her rocker - just looked down - eyes are WIDE open.. ahh well, there goes my peace for now - can't complain, I have showered and eaten breakfast and typed this huge post.... so she is pretty good. Last night wasn't the best night though - finally got to bed around 11.30ish (had been trying to feed her since 10.30 but she was wayyy too sleepy to suck) and then she woke at 1am wanting a feed, got back to bed at 2, she woke up at 5... I said to Craig, stuff this I'm too tired.. lol... so I grabbed her out of the bassinette and chucked her in bed with us, and she went back to sleep!!! the little devil... then Craig got up at 6.20, jumped in the shower, and I got Aricyn up to get ready to go to daycare... so she woke up around 6.30 for a bottle - the little tricker.. I should try that every morning!!!! LOL
I was supposed to be going to a get together at a fellow BB member's house today. Car is coming up with a warning light on the dash so Craig has to take it in to get checked out - just in case its something serious!!!!! So horribly disappointed that I'm stuck inside the house for yet another rainy day!!!!!!
Ahh well... may as well clean the house I guess...
morning all
Well another rainy day here, and the Bear and Beth are still really snotty. I am getting better slowly, so hopefully they will soon too.
I can't believe how good Beth has been with this cold. it's a really filthy one, I have felt like utter crap, she can hardly breathe but she has just been snoozing a lot and hasn't really cried - unless we're fessing her up, but hey that would be enough to make anyone cry! We have been trying to keep it pretty humid in the flat using the heaters, and it does seem to be helping. She had a good night too, slept from 8 til 12, had a feed and then slept until 5.15! I woke up at 4 and checked on her, she was snuffling but out like a light. So pretty happy with that.
Mel - bummer about the car!
Kristy sorry to hear about the photography session. Wrangling three little monkeys has got to be such a challenge. Seriously girl, you deserve a medal.
Tan - Chris finally did something for Ash!
Tenny, honey, a bit worried about you being so down. Let us know if there is anything we can do?
Mez - Your DH comes home today !
big to kel, zee, belle, tasia, feeb and everyone else, looking forward to catching up with the sydney girls next week!
ok i'm going to post my little b1tch here as i know you will understand, today i am feeling just sooooo CRAPPY. I don't know why, my hormones are just all over the joint. I'm pi$$ed off with myself too. I even cried when i burnt isaac's toast.
I feel like such a bad person and its these dam photos that have done it. I'm pi$$ed off at myself cause i'm mad at the kids for not behaving yesterday. all i want is a few lousy family photos. I know i'm being stupid as they are just babies but crap i don't know im just $hitty Grrrrrrrrr. i have been trying not to take it out on isaac as i know he is only 18 months and can't help it sometimes, but today he is just being so naughty. and the twins won't sleep i just need a break.
i't just so dam stupit of me to be angry with a baby. and i know the photos are not surposed to be this important but for me thay are.
and just shopping last night at parramatter was so horrable. the people r rude the place was packed and i still didn't get to buy anything 4 my birthday 4 fathersday.
my house looks like a dump and the inlaws are coming tomorrow so now i have to put up with my ferral nephews my SIL with her rotton BO and my bogan MIL & FIL.
how on earth did my DH turn out so normal. thank god my mum is coming too so at least i'll have some support from her as well as DH.
I will be 29y/o tomorrow and to be honest i don't feel much like its going to be a happy birthday.
I think i have snapped or something i'll be ok just need to get a grip.
tomorrow i'm going to sit back and have a few glasses of wine (oyster bay merlot to be exact, awsome wine; expensive but awsome) and do whatever i want to do.
thanks for listening (reading) its made me feel better just to actually say why i'm $hitty even tho i still don't understand it.
Kellxx & Kristy- Yeah thats fine, I havnt been to lollypops, I thought it was like that small play area at towers. Im happy to go to a park or towers..towers would even be abit better cause then I could walk to PIL place after (they live near towers) but yeah I dont mind as long as I dont have to race around to much and get to chat and go crazy over the little ones.
Kristy- mate i take my hat off to you.. today I cried over everything. Lucas didnt wanna sleep all day, Laila didnt wanna eat, play, watch tv..she just wanted me to pick her up and when id try to put her down she would scream. Your doing a fantastic job !!!
Hope you manage to have a good bday tomorrow!
Kellxx- Wowie, she is only a day older then Lucas and he only weighed 3.9kgs Monday that passed. She is quite tall aswell, though your tall for a girl (or maybe im just way to short LOL)
Missy- Lucas belly button sticks out abit, hmmm im seeing the pead on Monday arvo so I will have to get him to look at it.
Tenny- Glad we have been able to offer you some support that you need.
Mary- Hope you and DH get to spend some lovely time together.
Mel- Oh yeah, DH must think im talking **** when i say he wont sleep for me LOL
Kristy: Everyone has said it already but I really admire you too, you have handled your boys a lot better than I could and probably a lot of other parents out there too! I have mentioned you to a couple of my SIL's saying I don't know how she does it with 3 young boys! I struggle with my 2 and I know I struggled a bit (not that I have ever admitted before now) when it was just Jayden. Well done on a great job, I hope your visitors help you out and who cares about the house, they are there to see you and the family aren't they? Also..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow, I hope you get to relax a bit.
Kell: Baby steps for Chris but he is getting there! I tried olive oil with J but it was too messy and I don't think it worked on him (each baby is different of course). Keira's going great guns!! Well done! Also well done on passing the test! I didn't do it with Jayden but I think depression will be something I bring up at the 6week check up...don't really think I have it now but might be worth discussing.
Mel: Well done on the huge post....looks like mine LOL. I didn't know about the calories....I guess it only works better if you actually get on it hey? LOL I been a bit down today so didn't get to have a go. I think the Mellie slappin can be put on hold....for now haha Hope there is nothing too serious wrong with the car!! I'd go nuts staying at home! I was at the airport today and I heard a woman call out to her son and his name was Aricyn...or she could have said Harrison but pretty sure it was Aricyn...hadnt heard the name before and now I know of 2 haha.
Rach: I hope you guys get better....poor Beth! Must be hard for them when they have colds, can't take anything for it and they don't understand whats going on. Is she still feeding ok with a blocked nose?
Tenny: Well said! I am so happy we have a great group here that listen and support...without all you guys to listen to me b!tch and complain about Chris, well he may be with us now LOL, seriously though thanks to everyone as well! And Tenny I think we are all a little crazy at times hehe oxoxox
Tasia: It annoys me when there are no infant seats at the supermarket, esp when you carry them up expecting it and then you gotta go back get the pram and only do half your shopping. I was after a trolley the other day with a baby seat and toddler seat next to it (there was only 2), neither where there but then I saw a lady walking around Woolies with 1 and she only had 1 baby, no other kids...I was so annoyed! I wish I could lose my appetite, mine gets really bad when I am feeding Ashlea, although some days are worse than others, I have stayed the same weight though so I must be balancing it when I am feeding.
Missy,Feeb,Belle,Mez,SW,Zee and anyone else I missed
I have my 6 week check up on Monday....it has gone so quickly!! We go back to see the LC next Fri even though this morning Ashlea refused to feed so I expressed, then she has refused all but 2 feeds today...I was getting pretty upset over it earlier but I know she will go back to normal again, the last feed was at 9pm which she feed fairly well with only some complaint from her. Chris is about to take over the computer so I better go.
Dontcha hate it when bubs will sleep for someone else but will not close their eyes when you are holding them.. grrr.. frustrating!!!!!
morning all
!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTY!!
