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.
Syd girls - im so sorry I couldnt make this morning, Julia and I are both sick with bad flu, poor julia is thowing up and not moving at all just watching Dora all morning. Jeffrey is coming home at lunch to help with the 2 kids so I can sleep and just feed Tara as im also dizzy and achy everywhere.
I hope you are all well, I have to feed TAra now she just woke up but will try to come back sometime later if im not sleeping and see how you all are and catchup on the posts.
Belle honey sorry to hear you and Julia are sick... shame you couldn't make it. Hope you both feel better soon
Kel, Kristy, Missy & Zee great to see you and all of your babies, they are all very cute! We took some nice photos which I will get the Bear to post for me later on.
Re: the bath thing, we try to give her one every day but it's mainly because I like giving her a bath! She likes it too, and we are trying to have a consistent bedtime routine, especially when she is unsettled, like she has been since being sick. But if I don't have time or can't be bothered then I just don't worry about it - like you said it's not like she's actually dirty!
Tan - Beth is such a little piggy she doesn't care = bottle or boobie! Glad to hear Jayden is better.
Mel - you're such a star I saw what you posted re: the expressing! it's really starting to work for you now, good on you.
Tenny - gorgeous pics! too cute. skittle, pmc and the melbourne girls - shame we couldn't all get together but it was nice to finally meet some of the BB girls!
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.
