Babies Born July 16th - 31st 2008 #2

[Daydream Believer]

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

Well very tired so not to many personals.

Happy belated bday kristy

Happy fathers day for yesterday to all the daddies.

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

Kell hope your family are well now.

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!!

[Jewel]

Just a quick one, cause I hear the little man stirring in his bassinette.

Tan - I was already for a papsmear myself at my appointment last week, and then when he said they don't do them till 12wks, I was like oh. I'll admit I was relieved, but I'd rather it was over and done with then and there. Lol. My DP doesn't understand either. It's so frustrating and just makes me more upset.

Kristy - Way to go at your boys. They're going great guns. I hope the reflux stuff keeps working for you.

Kell - Omg yeah, It flies. He'll be 2, then next min he'll be 4 or 5 and going to school, and your head will be spinning. Lol.That's what it felt like for me. It's like where'd my little boy go.

Pixie/Bear - YAY! Beth's 1 month!! Whooohooooooooo

Sorry.. catch up more later.

Thanks for the replies about the rude a$$ b!atch. My DP was like "I would have closed the door in her face". If I'm here when she turns up on thursday I might pretend I'm not home or something. I'm a chicken.

Have a great day.
xoxo

Hi everyone, quick one from me too (well will TRY and make it short)...

Kel - if I forget - happy birthday to Jesse for tomorrow - and happy birthing day to you too my lovely!!!!! And GRRR to your sleeping through Oh, something must of been in the air this morning - cos A woke up at 4am - DH went in there to him and A goes "Allooooo" and DH is like.. no... no hello.... its TOO EARLY... haha!! Luckily he just went straight back to sleep - cheeky bugger... I slept through it all though - I'm so exhausted these days.

Tenny - I think you were way nicer to her than I would have been. not like they are on commission or anything, so they should be lucky they get any donations. If it happens again, kindly remind them that they are trespassing on your land... that usually f*cks them over.. LOL

Pixie - this one wriggles sooo much she usually gets out of being wrapped up - although I'm much harsher on wrapping her than her daddy is...

Tan - EBM is going slowwwwly.... wayyy slowwwwly..... but as they say, even 2ml is worth something right? Just finding the damn time to do it is the problem... and my OB did the Pap smear at my 6 week appointment last time - this time I dont' have an appointment till October.. weeee.. yayyyyy... no pappy for a few weeks.. yayyyyy

Anastasia - lets just say - he walked yoghurt through the mat, and all over the floor boards until he reached me.. but it was quite amusing to see him standing there with it dripping off his shirt and down his legs....

Missy - can't wait to see pics!!!

Sal - I'll swap you for my grizzly, non-sleeping one... (would you believe that everytime I put a IB on either of my kids they SHIAT in it!! Not nice for mummy... they could at least crap in the not so nice looking ones.. LOL)

Kristy - you can open an account for me too if you like.. hehehe.. just kidding!!!! I watched 90210 too last night - how SKINNY was that girl.. omg.. her collar bones were like coathangers...

Belle -

Well I have nooo idea what DD is doing with her weight gain - never seem to get the car on a Tuesday, and thats the clinic day... so haven't weighed her for.. uh.... 3 weeks now.... we know she is growing cos some of her nappies don't fit her anymore - I'm very pleased with myself - haven't used a disposable on her for AGES now... hehehehe..

Although having to deal with cloth nappies, extra clothes to wash, bottles to wash, and two kids to look after is starting to do my head in!!!!! Soooo many things to do, and I just keep ripping up DH because he tries (bless him, he DOES try) but god he stuffs ***** up, or goes too slow, or can't do more than one thing at the same time (really irritating!!) and I just prefer to do it myself!!!!! Keep yelling at the poor bugger...

Ahh well... better get back to my cup of tea and then start cleaning the house before the monster wakes up and messes it all up again!!!!

[ShootingStar]

Thanks ladies for all of Jesse's birthday wishes!
I just finished wrapping his presents and theyre in the middle of the lounge room floor for when he comes out in the morning. Hes going to love the unwrapping! Finally he gets the gist of it at the age of 2, that theres something fun under all that paper

Tannis.. oh awesome! Yay for the sleep through Jayden! Hope he keeps it up! Oh definately. Its nice to come in here and chat about things and know you and what youre going through is normal! Men just dont get it! Ahh sounds like it then hey.. being im guess the morning is when you are usually the fullest. Wonder if theres anything you can do, like maybe expressing a little before her feed? Otherwise im sure she'll catch up soon.

SW.. glad your lil girl is growing well!

Pixie.. oh thats great Beth will sleep through noise! Is a really good thing, especially if you are out. We live on a main road and i love it as both my kids sleep through anything usually.. lol poor Keira even sleeps through Jesse's tantrum! She must really be a heavy sleeper!!!

Kristy.. i wanna know too, especially since swimming lessons start again soon! Hey before i forget to ask you.. if Saturday is all booked up, what other day will you do?

Mel.. oh hun, sounds like a male thing!! Hehe sorry, but im gonna just enjoy it while it lasts Hows M going with the drinking?

Tenny.. it goes WAY too fast for sure!

Well this time 2 years ago i was in a ***** load of pain!!!!! I went into labour at 2.30pm the day before and he was born at 1.21am the next morning. Wow. Kinda brings a little tear to my eyes. Even though alot of it is a blur, i can still remember holding him and his little eyes looking up at me saying WTF just happened! What a long way we've come in such a short time. My first born, little baby.. is growing into such a beautiful big boy.
