Babies Born July 16th - 31st 2008 #2

[Ayapi]

afternoon all,

Tannis - Izzy is on Zantac cause of her reflux, she doesn't bring up that much milk but when she does she pretty much swallows it again giving her a tummy ache. I also burb her during and after her feed. She is getting better though just very grizzly when she doesn't go to sleep on time and gets over tired. Very painful when that happens.

Mel - You're very welcome hun if we don't praise ourselves who is going to So glad that you had a good night last night it's nice when it all goes as planned hey!

Kell - Yeah I would have said $40 for a dustbuster but just look around or try e-bay. Yes I have lots of house cleaning to do too but I just haven't got the energy at the moment.

Zee - Oh hun good luck with your apt at the dentist I hate going to the dentist one of my fears sitting in that chair How are you going with Lucas?

Melbourne girls when do you guys want to meet up next week?? I have Mother's Group on Tuesdays but any other day is okay with me at this stage?? Can't wait to see all the lovely babies and of course the mummy's

[Arimeh]

typing one handed, trying to get M asleep while A is eating his lunch

what was i saying, mm yes good nite last nite. sge fed at 8, screamed 9.30-10, slept till 4, then we all got up at 6.40. woohoo!!

Mez - I wish I could meet up with you guys...

better go clean after A - yoghurt is everywhere!!!!

[Tannis]

Zee: OMG 11k!! I'm sure they will look great after it all though.

Mel: What drugs???? I want some LOL Jayden was crying and screaming cause he didn't want to go to sleep and he eventually gave in at 2.30pm which is too late for him to sleep. I wish we all lived closer too! Its Oaks Seaforth Resort Alexandra Pde Alexandra Headland...Do you know where that is? I have no idea LOL

MEz: Thats great Izzy is getting better.

everyone else

I'm thinking I should have slept when both kids were asleep....They are both asleep still but its too late now. I was up until 3am this morning, uploading pics on FB then stayed up to attempt to give Ashlea a dream feed then Chris was snoring extra loud last night/this morning then Ash woke at about 6.30am. No rest for the wicked though! I better go prepare something for dinner...Chicken and rice I think.

[Arimeh]

Tan - no special drugs just panadol and nurofen - yes together.... lol Yup Alex heads is about 15 mins drive from where we live ( and about 3 mins drive from DH's work)..definitely have to catch up - even if its at the local maccas so the kids can play together in the playground and we can have a cuppa!!!!!

Zee - THATS what I was going to mention (thanks Tan) 11k.. crikey you would want to have a stunningly beautiful mouth full of healthy teeth after that my friend!!!!!!

[ShootingStar]

Missy.. yes! When can we all meet up again?? When is everyone free? Im free anytime except this week. So anyday next week is fine.
Love the Av hun!!!!!

Tannis.. im the same. I really should sleep during the day when Jesse and Keira are but im never tired during the day! Yet when 5pm hits im a zombie and too late then! Nah i dont think its bad. I use to do the same with Jesse. Id just keep going back in and putting his dummy in or whatever. I refused to get up before 7am. But it worked (until now lol). He would normally just lay in be and talk to himself until i came in.

Zee.. holey crap thats alot of money. I hate how dentist charge so much! I need a filling but cant afford it really atm. I dont envy you you poor thing having to have teeth pulled. Ive had 3 out and oh, lets just said, it doesnt tickle! Are they going to knock you out to do it? Id be asking for them to. I was awake when they did mine eeekk!

I second what Mel said.. thankyou. It is such a challenge having 2 kids.. i dont know how people with big families manage!

Well Jesse seems back to his old self hooray. Poos are pretty much back to their normal stinky self! So we're going to venture out today. Its been nearly 2 weeks since we've been out so will be nice to get him out of the house.

[Arimeh]

Kel - I'm glad Jesse is feeling better hope the sun is shining down there for you today.....

Missy - forgot to mention that I loved the new av too (stupid baby brain forgets everything!!!)

I can't believe its still taking an hour for M to finish her bottle... its driving me crazy!!! At least now she goes 2.5 - 3 hours between feeds so I don't feel like I'm feeding ALL the time!!!!!

Ah well, she's asleep on me, have to try and put her down without waking her. Sesame Street is finished so better go play with DS and try to clean the house at the same time....

Have a good day all!!!

[Ayapi]

Morning all,

Kell - I'm so happy that Jesse is feeling much better, you go out and enjoy your day sweet hopefully it's a lovely day in Syd

Mel - Izzy was the same but now finishes it within the half hour and that's with me changing her nappy in-between. Have fun cleaning and playing, make sure you get some rest in there too (somehow)

Feeb/Tasia - I can meet you both at Max Brenner's at 11am.

Well we had a pretty hard early morning Izzy had her feed at 4am and then decided that she wanted to cry for the rest of the morning until like 7am when I finally got her to sleep. She slept till 9am, had another feed and is now down since 10am. I really don't know why she isn't sleeping very well, I ended up giving her the dummy just to stretch out my sleep time. I rang my DH in tears cause I just couldn't cope anymore not that he can help me being in Germany Oh well another day another screaming baby to deal with...

I might go and make a cuppa tea while I have a chance hopefully that will cheer me up along with some chocolate..

[Arimeh]

Mez - honey its not easy with a screaming baby!!! M has been screaming a lot more lately too - might have to try her on the infacol if it continues cos I can't stand screaming for hours on end!!!! She had a feed at 4am too, and didn't want to go back to sleep - I probably got her back down at around 5.30? then A was up at 5.40 so DH let me sleep in till 6.40... lol ... Ahhh.. gotta love sleep deprivation!!!!!

Well I've had my chocolate ... might clean the kitchen (already cleaned up the loungeroom, A was SUPPOSED to be helping me but he didn't.. ) and then i can relax and have a cuppa and buy more nappies online... hehe

Both kids are asleep... BLISS....

[feeb]

Ayapi oh hun its hard work alone my dh away again but only for a few days hubbs dont get why we get upset.

Jacob also doesnt sleep that well at times las night went down 2400 up again 0130 down 0230 up agaon 0500 down 0630 up 0830 down 1000 up at 1130.
he has not done a poo since fri so that may contribute.

I changed him to infant nappies on fri and since then dont seem to have the same heavy wet nappies as he used to, hoping just cause diff nappies and nothing else.

Gudism enjoy the peace and nappy shopping

[Missy]

hi all

Well liam and I both got colds, Im alot worse then he is and just relaxing.

I am also out of a job as my job has desided to shut shop after the damage that was done so im no longer working. So more time for Liam. Im ok about it but the extra money was great.

Cant wait to meet up again. Im free next week too. Just not monday or tuesday.

Well feeding liam so bbl

[thepixie]

Morning all
Well, feeling almost human again today! Missy, I hope you don't have the same cold I had it was dreadful! Bummer about your job!
Kel, great to hear Jesse is nearly back to his old self.
Tan, I know what you mean about sleeping when the baby(ies) sleep - DD has a long nap in the morning, but I'm not tired then, and in the afternoon she doesn't sleep so long so it doesn't seem worth it!
to ayapi, feeb,tasia, zee, mel and everyone, hope you have a great day

[Jewel]

Hey Ladies.

Wow. Lotsa chatting chat. I'm going to try and do my best with personals while DS2 is quitely looking at the hanging star things in his basinette and dozing off a bit. Fingers crossed.

Missy - Sorry to hear about your job, but yeah you'll get more special time with Liam. YAY! I hope you both feel better with your colds. Hayden and I are finally getting past ours thank god. It makes me worry extra during the night when he's all snotty with his breathing, yah know.

Mel - Sounds like your DD is getting into a routine with her feeding. That's great. It sucks when it's like all you ever do is feed them constantly cause time flies that fast between feeds, then by the time you can rest you have to get up and start dinner or hang washing out. It's a never ending cycle. Lol.

Mez - Big hugs! You're doing a fantastic job as a mummy. I still call my DP crying at work half the time and even though he can't do anything it makes me feel better that he listens and tries to help as best he can. Just to hear their voice helps, I think.
I hope the rest of the days your DP is away go really really fastttt.

Zee - Your teeth will look amazing afterwards. Braces are so worth it. I had braces when I was in highschool. I love my teeth. You poor thing having to have teeth out though. I'd prob cry my eyes out. I didn't need any taken out. I hope you're going great and the feeding is going well too.

Tan - I hope you catch up some sleep.

Kell - Great to hear Jesse is back to his normal self now. I'm glad you and Keira didn't get it either.

Pixie - I hope you're feeling better today. xx

Lastly but not least, I wanted to also say I think you ladies with toddlers are dong a fantastic job too and you should be proud of yourself.
I'm proud of you guys and I don't think I'd be able to handle it as well as you ladies are doing it. You are awesome people and I hope your DP/DH's realise how lucky they are to have such great mummys for their children.

Wow. That's a first. I got through a post without having to stop and start or type one handed.
Hayden has been really sooky with me lately. He basically just wants me to hold him all the time. Sometimes he'll settle for DP, but most of the time lately he will only settle properly if I've got him. I guess his cold hasn't helped and he just wants his mummy all the time. I dunno.
Anyways, we had our 6week checkup yesterday. Everything is going fine. Hayden is healthy and all that jazz. The results from the placenta testing came back fine, so that was good too, and the other results came back normal aswell. So I was cheerin'!!!
Got my first Gardasil vaccination yesterday aswell. I was trying to explain to DS1 that he'll be having needles in a few weeks and it'll be fine, cause mummy just had one and she's fine. It didn't really work and I'm dreading that day even more.

Got the pill again. Lol. Fun fun. :P
This is nosey, but I'm going to ask anyways..
How do you all feel about DTD after the baby, or have you already?
After Elijah we waited a bit over the 6 weeks, and since I had stitches too, I was a bit reluctant, you know. This time is weird, like I am def. not ready for it and it's 6weeks and I even had less stitches this time.

Feeb, Tasia, Sal, Bear and everyone elseeee.

Seeya later. Ze boy is awake and goin' off.
Have a fantastic rest of the day.
xx

[thepixie]

Wow Tennykins, what a huge post - I'll be quick, DD is waking up

This is nosey, but I'm going to ask anyways..
How do you all feel about DTD after the baby, or have you already?

Yep, BTDT and it was fine. was about 2 weeks after having the baby. but then I had no stitches or anything so there was nothing to worry about there. I was a little worried it would hurt but it was fine. Of course most of the time I'm too knackered to think about it much!
But I think it's very individual thing and depends a lot on how your birth was and if you're still in pain or whatever. So take your time and wait until you feel ready for it.
