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.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTY
Hope you have a really wonderful day and make sure you put all those freeloaders to work looking after the boys so you can have a day just for you.
Tan, Beth is still feeding ok although she's very snuffly. she's been having decent 3-4 hour sleeps too, although there is still a bit of coughing and sneezing, she usually sleeps through it. The Bear bought a vaporiser for her room yesterday which seems to have helped a lot but she's still pretty miserable. We're taking her to the doctor this morning, shame it's so horrid outside, it's absolutely pouring.
Got to get ready to go, so mel, kel, tasia, feeb, zee, SW, Belle, tenny, missy and err.... anyone I've forgotten.... catch up later
Just sit back honey and RELAX today.. you deserve it..
Tan- DH got the Wii fit today for Fathers day (yup sent him out to buy his own presents..) so I guess we'll have a go of that!! Woohoo!! Exercise.. LOL... I got on the scales today and OMG.. yup.. won't be doing that again for a while.. I wonder if all that chocolate I've eaten has anything to do with that... hmmm.....
Zee - we weighed DD this morning - she is just a smidge off 5 kg...
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, it's such a gorgeous day here in Melbourne and I'm stuck indoors as my DH and daughter are both asleep at the moment. But I'm enjoying a cuppa after all the cleaning and washing I have done.
Izzy is doing really well had her MHN apt last on Wednesday and she had put on 350g in 2 weeks a little on the low side for bottle feed babies apparently but still good. Oh she also told me to give her alternative thickened milk to see how she goes with that cause of her reflux and I have seen a huge change. She doesn't squirm with the thickened milk but when she has it normal she is just a worm and throws it up afterwards.
So a question to the mummy's that are bottle feeding would you just go and buy the AR formula and give that continuously or would you just do what I'm doing every second feed?? Also she is currently on Nan and I'm thinking of changing to Karicare as it has an AR ready to go is that a good brand?
Tannis - I too have my 6 week apt on Monday, it has flown hey can't believe it's gone so quickly.
Tenny - We love having you part of our group too, I'm so happy that we all get along so well and have continued with this thread too... It's a pity we all live in different parts of Australia cause it would have been nice to have met everyone.
Pixie - I hope Beth is okay, glad that the vapouriser is helping her though. It's horrible when they can't breath poor little things.
A BIG to Missy, Kell, Zee, Belle, Mel, Jess, SW, Tasia and everyone else I have missed.
Happy Father's Day for tomorrow for the Daddys in case I dont get a chance to get on tomorrow.
Havent had a chance to read through the last 2 days of posts yet, hope everyones doing well and big hugs to all!!!
Little Miss has Colic which explains why we havent had much sleep the last few days, so we have been using the Brauer Colic Relief which is working wonders, she's actually happy to lay down for more than 10mins. So Im doing a quick check of the forums then of to catch up on cleaning & put a load of nappies on.
Mel - have you used a BBB on DD yet? We had one on DD the night before last & I fell asleep while feeding her in bed so she was in it for 9 hours & no leaks or pooplosions! Very impressed
Happy Fathers Day all those daddies out there!!!
DH is at work this morning until about 11am.. so we'll have some pancakes when he gets home.
Kristy.. id be peeved too. And wouldnt invite them again. How rude!!! Glad you had a nice day without them anyways.
Mez.. im not to sure when it comes to reflux formula. Id probably just get her use to it as every second bottle, then slowly exchange one bottle for the reflux stuff until shes fully on that. Especially if it seems to be working for her and she has been properly diagnosed with reflux.
Tannis.. yeh i agree with the olive oil and baby oil.. then i read about the sorbelene in a magazine and used that and found it worked brilliantly for Jesse. Yeh its always worth just talking about it. But do know youre not alone ok honey. It is so hard isnt it, especially with a toddler thrown into the mix. I was in tears again last night just because im so tired and Keira wouldnt go to sleep. She was fine, not crying but just wide awake. Sleep deprevation is a killer.
Zee.. yeh that was with clothes on though.. but plus she is formula fed so will probably account for more weight. But they say 200gs per week is best and shes doing that so very happy. Yeh i am tall, no doubt she will be too, Jesse will be for sure. DH is tall too.
Tasia.. im the same with my appetite. I think alot of the time its i just dont have time to stop and eat. It will come back.
DITTO TO WHAT TENNY SAID!!!!! I love this group so much. I love how everyone is so supportive.. something you really need when you have a baby. for everyone!
Syd Gals.. yeh im happy with Castle Towers? Whats everyone else think?
Ok gonna go hang out the washing while little miss is snoozing.
Morning all (just started typing at 11.57 so its still morning.. )
kristy - that sucks.. I woulda kept the pressie for myself too... LOL.... hope you are having a good day today *mwah*
Oh and yeah the Wii is cool - I did some exercise yesterday - it told me I was obese.. pmsl... well yeah.. but I just had a baby.. thats my excuse...lol
Kel - I was up with DD early this morning too - not crying, she just didn't want to sleep... so I went into the lounge room - hit DS's fire engine toy THREE times with my foot - whilst swearing - and paced the floors with her trying to get her to sleep.. finally got her to sleep half an hour later.. and put her back in bed... I swear, 2 minutes later she woke up again.. GRRRR.. so DH got up and I fell back asleep - apparently it took him half an hour to get her to go to sleep too... by this time it was 5.30!!!! (She woke at 3.30 for a feed) and then DS was up at 6.30.. lol.. so DH is a bit tired today - I'm going to get him to go for a nap soon..
And I agree with all too - this group is great (no wonder I can't leave it even though technically I'm not supposed to be here!!)
Mez - if it were me - I would actually go and buy that formula that seems to be helping. I've switched DD three times now with different formulas and she hasn't had any belly problems so it might be a baby thing instead of a standard reaction to have belly probs? I dunno...
Sal - no I haven't tried the BBB on her yet - still with other fitted nappies that I scored off FJ and covers at night. Although got her in an IB at the moment - sooo cute!!!! Got her into a medium one.. heheheeheheheehehe
Happy Father's day to all the daddies *mwah* enjoy your babies!!!!!!
Well better go keep stuffing nappies and put more washed ones on the line... never ends here!!!
Damn DD just woke up.. grrr... she's supposed to be sleeping.....ahh well.. like I said.. never ends here!!!
