Yeah Tenny - don't let the old cow make you feel bad - it's supposed to be charity, not demanding money with menaces! I never give money to pan-handlers!

[ShootingStar]

Tenny.. hun i never give to charity that either knocks on my door or rings over the phone! So i wouldnt feel bad at all... especially if they were being narky! Makes me wonder if that donation money was actually going to the heart foundation!

sw.. usually around an hour in between each feed, except in the evenings and during the night. Do you have a play gym thing? Keira loves hers and spends alot of time on it.

Hi all

Thanks for your well wishes for my appt. It went well, we upped my meds and have referal to see a psychiatrist that specialises in post natal depression and she said its good to see them now as 6 weeks after birth is when it usually gets worse. I guess I really hoped I wouldnt get this bad again, just unlucky I guess. I have been giving Tara one bottle of formula a day as my supply cannot keep up with her demand feeding so thankfully she is sleeping now. I saw the health nurse and she too has put on 1kg since birth which is great. The nurse also said that from 6 weeks they usually will be up for 1 1/2 to 2 hours all up from feeding to play to sleeping. Tara's already doing that and in the arvos she doesnt sleep at all but has a big sleep from 7pm or so until middnight.

Friday sounds great girls, 10am at Castle Hill Towers at Kmart. Can I just confirm that the Towers is the bigger shopping centre?? theres two of them at Castle Hill isnt there?

Hello to everyone I have to get some sleep but will come back for personals tomorrow. Love you all.

I seem to have misplaced the grumpy baby Ive had the last few days & got someone else's happy contented baby I got to have a shower, breakfast & lunch and clean most of the house while she just lay down on her mat looking at the mobile & dozing.

Kristy - good to hear about the boys weight gain. I have opened an account yet for DD but my mum has, we've just got a money box for the time being because we are supposed to be moving to Perth early next year so I wont open an account until we are over there.

Belle - good to hear Tara has put on 1kg, if you need to talk add me to MSN most of the time if Im on BB Im on MSN too but appearing offline, Same goes for anyone

Tenny - I agree with everyone else, with an attitude like that I wouldnt be giving them any money either. We have a couple of charities we donate to regulary and just those

SW- I find if we are out or there are people round Maddi will sleep most of the time but, if we are home by ourselves she will be awake for a couple of hours then sleep for 2-3 hours then be awake for a couple more

Hello everyone else Ive missed

[Missy]

Hi all

Kristy sorry you are feeling so upset hun Cant wait to see you

Belle yes Castle towers is the bigger one.

Ill be there at 10am or close enough On Friday. Cant wait to see everyone again.

Thanks to all on the advice on Liam's hernia

Baptism was beautiful. Will put up photos when I get time.

Ok off to bed and watch abit of 90210.

Take care all

Hi to every one else.

[Anastasia]

Good evening everyone

Pixie- That's great that Beth has gained 1 kilo Yayyy

Feeb- Cool can't wait to meet you all.

Kel- Yeah I noticed that to with Jonathan, cause he is on Karicare as well & a few times he had a 7 hour sleep & one time he had a 9 hr & I was like WTF I got worried but didn't wake, just checked to see if he was breathing LOL.


Mel- Hope ur DS didn't make too much of a mess with the yogurt

Tenny- You did wat u had to do, like you said you couldn't afford it with new house, renovations, bills & of course a new baby, that's totally understandable. I can't believe she went red, look I would have felt bad myself if I couldn't afford. You just have to say no sometimes when you can't afford it, that's one thing I learned.

Kristy- aaaaa the good old days when 90210 was on LOL. I was going to watch it myself but can't be bothered, new people LOL, I want the old people back lol I know Jenny Garth & Shannen Doherty are on but still not the same, oh well. Yay for opening an account for the boys

Mary- Hope you are well sweety, thinking of you

[Tannis]

Mez: Can't believe how quickly 6wks has gone either!

Kell: LOL you poor thing, hope your elbow is ok...did anyone see you? Ashlea is getting about 6hrs or more overnight too but I wake her at about 11.30pm to feed her then she usually sleeps until 6 or 7am, last night I was too tired to wake up at 11.30pm and I woke her up (she might have stirred not sure) at 3am. YAY on having 2 kids asleep...I had that today. I glad I have you girls here to talk to, Chris doesn't understand why I get upset of the feeding thing. Yeah sleep deprivation isn't great! I leave Ashlea now, if she is awake but happy I go to sleep...she'll let me know if she wants something.

Rach: If your coming to QLD you will have to visit us too!

Mel: LOL on your defective formula! Hows the EBM going? PMSL at you laughing at your DH!

SW: I had a headache today too, but I think mine was a little stress (Ash refused breast again this morning) and tiredness. Ashlea changes day to day with her sleep, some days she sleeps most of the day usually if we are out shopping and in the car she stays asleep and like today she was awake for most of the day and all we did was go to the Dr's and home again.

Tenny: How rude of that woman! I donate a fair bit to those sorts of charities but sometimes I just can't do it, who is she to ask if you have $2??

Geoff: Canberra to SC in a few hrs would be good! The planes Chris flies (Jabiru), it takes about 8hrs Bundy to Melb...I'm not sitting in a little plane for that long!

Belle: Hope the new dosage works for you! YAY for Tara's weight gain!

Kristy: Oh I forgot about 90210...I watched City Homicide (Mmmm Daniel McPhearson!). YAY for the gaveston infant working!

Sal: Woohoo for your happy baby!! Ashlea is usually pretty good with laying there looking at something too...makes life so much easier!

Missy: Can't wait to see the baptism pics! I told Chris when Jayden was born that he is to organise the baptism (I'm not baptised) and he still hasn't done it, so we are getting the 2 done together. I told him I want it done in October but he hasn't organised anything yet.


I had my 6 wk check up today, all was fine but she said I was still a bit red down there??? She didn't do a pap smear either, she said they are better done at 12wks as there is usually inflamation still at 6wks and the PM would have to be done again...I never got told that last time but then I went to a dodgy Dr back then.

Ashlea refused another feed this morning but the rest of the day was fine, I am really getting frustrated with it all! All day Fri she refused and part of Sat. No idea why she keeps refusing, its to do with her not doing a poo but why she takes bottle with no probs I don't know. We see the LC again on Fri.

I rode 5kms on my exercise bike today, my aim is to do 10kms a day but I'm easing into it haha. Well better have something to eat before I waste away to nothing (LOL I wish!)

[thepixie]

Rach: If your coming to QLD you will have to visit us too!

Tan we would love to. My brother lives up in Mission Beach - you're right up north too aren't you? Looks like we have a trip coming on!
Well the big news for us (apart from Beth being one month old today!) is that last night she had a really big sleep..... We went to Dad's place for dinner and everyone was playing with her so by the time we got home she was very overtired and agitated. In the end, the Bear swaddled her with extreme prejudice, my god he wrapped her up tight! she couldn't move at all! stuck a dummy in her mouth and put her to bed. That was at about 10.30.... and she slept all the way through till ten to five! Woohoo!
Going to run and have a shower now before she wakes up but to everyone and BBL for personals - have a great day all!

I dont know what it is with my son! He did sleep pretty well, didnt have to get up to him at all last night.. well not until 5am when he was telling me its time to get up. I said ah ah nooooo way. 6am is too early as it is! So i walked out and he screamed in his cot for about an hour. Keira woke up around 5.30am so fed her (hehe yep slept through from 9.30pm again ).. then went into him at 6am and lay him down and he slept for an hour.. so didnt have to get up until 7am this morning. Still feel like crap though! lol

Belle.. um, yeh id say it is the bigger shopping centre. Theres only one in Castle Hill that has Kmart. Glad you appointment went well.

Kristy.. the boys sound like theyre growing spot on. Keira is 5.15kgs with clothes and a week gestationly older. So yeh they sound about right.

Skittle.. oh gotta love that! She can stay!

Tasia.. yeh its great hey hehe!

Tannis.. yeh a lady near me helped me up lol. Ya know, im glad i wasnt pregnant! I hit the ground pretty hard. Oh i know. Men dont get it, lol or have the hormones! Grahame is the same.. when i get upset or frustraited with either Keira or Jesse hes like, ah dont let it get to you. But it aint that easy! Oh really re the pap smear. Im going for my 6 week check this weekend. Will see what she does. Good stuff with your riding! I wonder if your let down is too much for her? Like the flow is too fast? Where as on the bottle she kinda has more control of how much shes getting in her mouth each suck?

Well off to the shops this morning for coffee with Kristy and also need to get some wrapping paper and a card for Jesse's presents for his birthday tomorrow! HOLEY MOLEY! My little boy is 2 YEARS OLD TOMORROW!! Gawwwwd it didnt seem that long ago i was in agony pushing his boofhead out! Boy the time just flies ladies! Enjoy every minute while theyre still babies!!

[kristy J]

HELLOOOOOO

Gotta be quick 90210 starts tonight. i just have to watch. yes yes i know its lame but i was addicted to the origional all those years ago. so i just have to watch.

syd meet- 10ish is good for me.

kell - do you wanna follow each other on friday? i can get to your place about 8.45am ish.

Tennykins- how rude of that lady.. once whils shopping some guy asked my DH for a donation to sponser poor children. he told him "we have our own poor children and dont need any others" the guy was not impressed.

SW- the twins usually stay awake for 1-1.5hours after each feed than sleep for 2-3 hours.

went to the clinic nurse today for a baby check. it went well Sebastian is now 4.5kg and Caleb is 4.7kg. so going well considering their corrected age is about 6 weeks. they will actually be 11 weeks on wednesday.
I actually spoke to her about the twins reflux. they get it soooo bad puke up all day, and its smelly acidy puke too. she recomended some gaveston infant, its a powder you mix into their bottle or water for breast babies. i gave it to them tonight and they seemed so much happpier and hardly puked at all after their feed, so hopefully it works.

i opened my boys a bank account each today.

so mostly a good day today might go wash nappies and bottles ready for tomorrow.

Hi to everyone! god i love this site and i am also thankfull for all your friendship's

catch ya
