Missy: I said that to the LC that it may be that she is just warm and cosy. Glad you had a good day with the kids and your GF.
Rach: Was your hair appt today? If it was how did it go? Did Beth need the EBM?
Kristy: I hope the boys sleep through for you soon....It would be too early for habit waking/feeding wouldn't it? That's Jayden's problem I think although we do have some good nights. Love the pic!!
Mez: Woohoo on the house work! I should have done more today, but its so hard when Jayden is home cause he wants to "help".
Kell: Lucky you having 2 kids asleep at the same time today! Ashlea decided not to sleep too much today but she was happy in her bassinette while I was on the bike and unpacked the dishwasher.
Melb/Syd girls/guy: Have a great day tomorrow,....I am so jealous! Can't wait to go down to the Sunshine Coast...What day is better for you Mel? Sat is probably better for me as Chris will want to go home Sunday as he has work Mon. I find out what time we are heading back.
Tasia: I wouldn't leave it overnight but only because of it going on the sheets...its probably good for him the longer its on though.
Those that bath their bub every 2 or 3 days...is there a reason for that? Nothing against it, its just I had a conversation with SIL#3 not long ago about it...I said that Ashlea wasn't getting a bath that night because I was too tired or busy or something, anyway she almost had a dig at me as her girls got a bath EVERY day no matter what. I said there is no prob as they don't get dirty or sweat etc so if I don't have time there is no problem. Just curious on other ppl's thoughts on that.
Sal: YAY for getting out for dinner! Glad you didn't feel guilty. I went out yesterday and did a couple of things without either of my 2, I didn't feel guilty...it was great to get things done quickly!
Tenny: Always the way when you have time to sleep and then someone stops you haha. Will Hayden lay with you in bed and maybe doze off? Ashlea is pretty good if I just leave her in her bassinette, she usually dozes off. I haven't got Ash's BC yet, not sure if its even been charged to the CC yet.
Pam: Thats great Belle is sleeping better! How did she go with her needles? Ashlea gets hers in just under 2 weeks
Well Jayden's foot!!! He was crawling again this morning then mid morning he was walking fine on it then running and jumping on it! Was it you Kell that said Jesse did the same thing? Unbelievable! I had just made the appt for his xray too, I waited to see how he was after his sleep and he was still fine so I cancelled the appt. I'm so glad its not fractured and I don't have to carry him around any more!
Tannis - We bath every 2-3 days and just wash with a facewasher everyother day. The midwives at the hossy & the health nurse have said only to bath every 2nd or 3rd day because it removes too much of the natural oil if you bath them every day. I dont think it really matters though
Tan - yes hair appt was today and went fine, Bear fed her at lunchtime and then we met my parents for lunch and I fed her at home about 3.30. She has been a bit unsettled in the evenings lately, hoping it is just the cold, which is still lingering on.
Was going to post earlier but sooooooooo tired today! Just waiting for DD to go to sleep just fed her and she's in her cot with her eyes wide open.... mel, tenny, tannis, sw and melb girls, wish you could come to the meetup tomorrow, have fun in melbourne.
Kel, I'll pm you my mobile phone number in case we are late or can't find you....
Look forward to seeing the rest of the sydney chicks tomorrow and everyone else!
Tannis I agree with skittlebub it is true what she says. The babies dont do anything. SO why do we have to bath them every day. I only bath 2 days - 4 if im lazy...lol... and only wipe him down with a face washer if he has chucked to much or done lots of poo's. Now Callum on the other hand, he is a grot so have to bath him most days. If its been raining and he hasnt been outside Ill most likely just give him a face, hands, butt wash.
Well all cant wait to see ya all (syd ladies) Oh and its going to be 25 today. How wonderful. Love these days!!
Hi to you other ladies and hope you all have a great day!!
I 100% agree too, they don't do anything to get dirty other than chuck and poo. My SIL made me feel like I was real grotty for not bathing everyday! Jayden gets baths every day (unless he falls asleep too early) because he get filthy during the day if we have been out.
Rach: Beth went ok with a bottle then? Thats good when they can take both bottle and breast.
Since Jayden is walking again I am going to send him to FDC today instead of yesterday so I can get all my shopping done quickly. I have a LC appt at 12.30pm so fingers crossed Ash has gained lots of weight, not too confident that she has. Yesterday she was taking only 1 side most of the day when usually she has 2, but in saying that I put her on a couple of times only an hr or so after a feed so I was probably just topping her up all day. I fed her at 9pm, she slept though until 7am this morning but I did give her a feed at 12.30am, only on 1 side though and for once she stayed asleep for it (usually I have to wake her up otherwise she doesn't feed). Well I will probably be out most of the day and most of you girls will be too I guess with the meet ups.....Can't wait til we meet up Mel!
Hope all have fun at the meet ups today - TAN COME AND VISIT ME!!!!! (and SW - get your ar$e in gear and come visit me too... )
Re the bathing - M gets a bath every second night. I wipe her nudie rudie bits with a wipe when changing nappy though - if she has just done a wee that is - of course I use a wipe when she has done a poo...pmsl...
Tan - yup just let me know what day - when exactly are you coming down I can't remember........ Good luck today at LC appointment (guess what - I got 9ml this morning!!) Good that J is back to normal - weird toddlers huh..
Tenny - I (for some reason) don't think you know how very gorgeous you are my love...
*mwah*
Hi to everyone else -hope your babies are good to you today!!!!
We do the same with bathing Hayden. It's every 2 - 3 days. I can't believe she'd say things like that. Geez. It's hard with another kiddie running around as it is.
Tan - Good luck with your appt today. I'm glad Jayden's foot is better.
Mel -
Have a great day at your meetups Chicks and The Bear!
Don't forget photos for the rest of us.
Morning girls
Annabelle gets one or 2 baths a week and has a shower with her dad on the other nights. It's more a bedtime ritual thing than a washing thing. It tells her we mean business and that bed time is soon.
Re bed time, what time are you girls putting your bubs down for the night and how many/how long naps are they having. Belle is 8 wks old and her sleeping has evolved quite a bit over the last couple of weeks, but I was wondering what everyone else's bubs were doing. We generally start the bedtime ritual at 7:30ish and hopefully she's in bed by 8:30 and she will feed either once or twice in the night. She has 3 or 4 naps a day, depending on how long they are. We try to do the feed/wake/sleep thing, but if she only sleeps for one sleep cycle it becomes feed/wake/sleep/wake/feed/sleep.
Just a quick one coz DD ia asleep and I really should be getting myself some dinner. She put on 595 grams in 14 days at the health check today so she's now 4.5kgs
mel, tenny, tannis, sw and melb girls, wish you could come to the meetup tomorrow, have fun in melbourne.
