Just popped in to say Happy Birthday Julia!

Having some issues with Jesse.. hes not eating.. well not very much. Is refusing practially everything i offer him. I was up all night again with him crying (as i have been every night since his gastro). I think because he was hungry, but he doesnt want to eat anything. Its really doing my head in and bringing me to tears.. i just dont know what to do.
Least Keira is being good..

Anyways.. will try and catch up tomorrow.

Nite xx

Feeb- ok sweet, I didn't realise it could be contagious

Belle- LOL Yeah I think I may have to delete some or all the msg's LOL i've been lazy But thanx for that sweety.

Mary/Jess/Feeb- I would love it to, for us to continue meeting. You know Mary, about wat u said about this can be our own little Mother's Group, I was thinking the same thing just before.

Missy- awww poor little bubba, I hope he's better now Good luck with pedi app 2m.

Tenny- Thanx sweety for that. It was a waste of time me going there they could of have rang me instead. They thought I was on Newstart Allowance & I had to do this 3 week job search & I'm like umm no I'm not, I'm looking after my son till he is 1 yrs old then going back to work. But the lady was nice she said to me ring the centrelink & find outr why ur here. So I went home rang centrelink & told them wat happened & the lady on the phone said to I think it's because you are with the Job network that's why u have to look for work, but if ur going to be staying at home mum then we will cancel the job network system for u & u won't get any appointments from them anymore until u are ready to look for work.

Yikes you lot can talk, dont think I will be able to catch up.
Been so busy the last 2 days, had 2 fillings this morning as Lucas had his needles today
Have uploaded the pics to my PC and will hopefully be able to resize them before I go to bed. Just have to go tidy up abit and milk myself.

[Tannis]

Just popped in to say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA!!! Hope you had a great day!

Kell: I hope Jesse is ok! Can you give him milk? Will he drink that even if you make a banana smoothie or something thats pretty filling...thats if he will even drink that I guess! Its so sad seeing then like that!

Missy: Hope Liam's temp comes down quickly! Yay on getting your backyard started! GL at the Paed tomorrow.

Sorry no more personals, gotta drive SIL home

Might be back later

[jessicakate]

Kellxx - I feel for poor little Jesse. It is like he has figured out that the food made him be sick, and he is too scared to eat anything. maybe ask him if there is anything that he would like and tell him he can pick it out from the shops or something, and then you could go get it with him like an adventure. or you could try some sweet yoghurt, maybe you could tell him it is special and won't make him feel sick so he feels reassured. he will start eating again soon I am sure, it was just probably a big shock to his system, having never been sick before.

Hi Tan, Zee and Tasia. I hope you are having a good night.

[Anastasia]

Jess- Hey sweety, hope you had a good day. How's gorgeous Georgia?

[somewoman]

maybe ask him if there is anything that he would like and tell him he can pick it out from the shops or something

am having visions of a two year old chowing down on caviar and pate

[Zee]

Happy Bday princess Julia!!

Missy- Awww Liam had his needles aswell , I was originally just taking Lucas to the clinic nurse thats now at the childrens doc for his 6 week check up (yep a week late) and she said she might as well do the needles today instead of me coming back next week.
Yeah I met her when I went up to your house, she answered the door. She is such a great help for you. Damn Kmart didnt have it in stock even though it was on layby so I had to go back tonight and pick it up, DH is setting it up now.. so much for his xmas pressie.

Kellxx- I wonder if its an age thing? Laila goes through that from time to time, she hasnt really ate anything for 3 days now... she has done this a few times before. Banana smoothies are grezat when they are like this.

Feeb- WHAT?? Sorry but she shouldnt have been near Jacob, she should know better. I wont let anyone with coldsores near Laila or Lucas because when my sister was 3 months old my uncle kissed her when he had a coldsore (this was 14 yrs ago) and she got so sick, started having fits etc and stayed in hospital for a few months. She had got Encephalitis from it. Im not trying to scare you but it is serious (im sure you knew this already though)

The Pixie/Bear- Have a great night out tonight!!

Tenny- Your so lucky, im still doing night feeds bout midnight, 3ish and 6ish

Tasia- They did that to me when Laila was a few weeks old aswell!

Sydney peoples- You can come to my place for meet ups aswell (if I can get involved with your meet up kell, Kristy & Missy). I was thinking about that today cause the older ones get so bored in the prams.. After xmas there will be heaps of stuff for the kids to do here cause Laila is getting a swing/slide set, sand pit rocker thing that someone sits on 1 end and someone sits on the other end & cubby house. Then there is the play gym and jumping castle that she got last yr.

Jess- Hmmm see i have a diff prob, I have no boobs!! Im suprised that I have any milk LOL

Mary- Time does fly hey? Think we are all in such a daze cause we are tired LOL. Glad she is sleeping better. Lucas is ok, though he has a few bad hrs during the day aswell.. most babys do.

Mel- You changed your name!! Oh I tell DH he is gunna get home one day to find that I have ran away.

[Tannis]

Mez: Izzy will sleep though soon enough, did you say the new formula is going good? Maybe once she is use to that she will settle better for you.

Jess: Love them while you've got them LOL....I hated them at first with Jayden but missed them when they went...luckily I went up a cup size anyway to what I was before I was pregnant...This time they are bigger but not as big as I was with Jayden, yet I have more milk this time, go figure haha

Zee: Aww poor Lucas having his needles too, how did he cope with it? I love banana smoothies but Jayden still will not touch any milk drink unless its in his bottle!

Have a great night out Rach & Geoff!

Kell: Whats Jesse's mood like during the day? Is he really quiet? Might be worth a trip to the Dr's if he doesn't yet again tomorrow?? I was talking to a friend today and she is having troubles with her toddler too and the baby is the good one....same in our house too, just lucky the babies are being good otherwise it would make dealing with toddler issues that much harder!

I uploaded a few pics:

Jayden only asked for his dummy once today and I was able to distract him without causing a tantrum...he had plenty of tantrums today but not because of his dummy. He trashed his room the other day cause he wouldn't sleep (that is one of the photos) and today he pulled out all the tissues in his tissue box (got photos of that too but not uploaded). So I made him get a cushion from the lounge and go and sit in the corner for 5mins, he kept crying and saying "sorry mummy sorry" It was so cute I had to walk away so I didn't give in....The rest of the day he was an angel even though he didn't have a sleep, now he has gone to bed with no dummy again...he has also slept through for the past 5 nights (I think)..fingers crossed he keeps it up!

No real dramas with Ashlea, she is pretty much a dream baby! Although I changed her nappy at about 1am this morning and fed her, she definitely got milk and she fed well on 1 side and only a little on the other but this morning when she woke at 7am her nappy was dry, maybe 1 wee in it? That doesn't seem normal does it? She gets heaps of wet nappies during the day.

Wish there were more ppl in QLD, I'd love to have a mothers group! Can't wait to go down the Sunny Coast though, I'm so excited! Mel still figuring out what Chris is doing so I can work out what we can do.

[Jewel]

Kell - I hope Jesse starts eating something, anything. It's so frustrating when they don't eat.

Tan - Cute pics. What a mess Jayden made. About the wet nappy, that happened to us today. I even thought DP had already changed Haydie cause he was dry, but all the other times his nappies are really full. Idk. It's weird.

Zee - Poor little man. I hope he was ok.

Tasia - Don't you hate when you have to go to an appointment like that and it's a total waste of time. Grr.

Pixie/Bear - Have a great night! I hope Beth was settled while you guys were out.

Belle - Your pictures are adorable. You have goregous girls!!

Mez, Missy, SW, Mel, Jess and everyone else.

[Tannis]

Tenny: Maybe we can start toilet training them if they aren't wetting overnight LOL I'll mention it at Ashlea's 6-8wk check, I'm not too concerned I guess as she is getting plenty during the day and she is healthy looking.

Tasia: When I went on maternity leave with Jayden centerlink booked me an appt with a job agency when I was 38 or 39wks pregnant. I had to go up 3 flights of stairs and answer all these qu's on what type of work I was looking for. I told her I wasn't looking for work and she asked me why not!?? "Umm cause I'm having a baby next week??" She goes "Oh ok just answer it for when you are returning to the workforce then" Not the sharpest tool in the shed!!

I should have gone to sleep earlier I think instead of waiting up for her feed....I do it everynight and its catching up with me.

I did 6kms in 20mins on the exercise bike today....I worked up such a sweat, it kinda felt good! Need to do something (other than situps, I hate them) to lose my stomach...any ideas??
One more pic for tonight

Morning!

Well DH managed to get some banana and a piece of toast into Jesse last night! He only woke once during the night last night.. i think looking for a dummy? but he was out again once i found it for him. So break through i hope. Will see how we go today.

Tannis.. lol how cute of Jayden. Jesse's done that with the nappies before! And the wipes! Maybe she just didnt wake at all during the night and just didnt wee. I think aslong as they are having 5 wet nappies during the day, they say thats fine.

Zee.. thankyou, yeh ill give the smoothy a go today. Oh you reminded me i still need to get Keira's done.

Jessica.. thanks hun. Yeh i could give that a go. I try it with our pantry cupboard. Everything i pick out (which is basically everything from chips to biscuits etc) he just says no... even doesnt like chocolate or lollies! But thank you, i will give the shops a go (lol if he understands what im saying)

Missy.. aw i hope Liam is a bit better today. Jesse got a temp with his 2 month needles too. Just gave him panadol before his next lot of needles and he was fine. Might do it with Keira before hers actually.

Belle.. hope youre feeling better soon hun.

Tenny.. sounds like things are going really well with Hayden! Oh i hear you with the attitudes in the family!

Ok.. little miss is waking i think so will be back later...

Morning all!
Well the Bear and I had a great night out last night - went for dinner and then to see Bill Bailey at the State Theatre. It was cripplingly funny. Ran into a friend of mine from work too. We were good and didn't ring up to check on the baby either! I love my stepmum sooooo much. Not only did she take beautiful care of Beth, I came home to discover she had folded and put away the laundry, unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned the teapot(!) and tidied up the change table! She and my sister had a lovely time looking after DD and are keen to do it again!
The Bear was on Sunrise this morning - two of his friends are doing a charity drive around Australia in a historic Bentley to raise money for the McGrath foundation and he went into Martin Place to support them. They showed pics of him chatting to his friend in Martin Place as they were throwing to an ad break.
Beth is losing her baby hair!!! it's so sad!
Kel - good luck getting some food into Jesse!
Tan - Ash is just so adorable.
Belle - great pics of your girls
JK - I think I got six tops yesterday, all up it cost about $70. I just went to cheap shops and got things on special. Some of the tops were only $7.50 ($15 for two) so I was pretty happy with my bargain hunting! Like you said it's not like you can wear nothing so you have to do something!
Zee honey we would love to come to your place
Mel - someone said you changed your name? is that right?
SW, missy, feeb, tasia, tenny, mez and everyone

[Ayapi]

Morning

Pixie - I'm so jealous that you guys managed to go out for the night, DH and I haven't had US time yet. There isn't anyone to look after our little princess at the moment. I'm so happy that you both had a lovely time and how cool is your Stepmum it's such a great help when they do that for us hey. Isabel lost her baby hair too (up top) but it's growing back now, she looked like crusty the clown at one stage

Kell - That's good news that Jesse ate something last night before going to bed. Hopefully he will start to improve from now on for you sweet.

Tannis - I love your photos sweet Ashlea looks so gorgeous! Love the Tshirt you did for Fathers Day. Potty training already WOW.

Yesterday within 24 hours Isabel has done 6 poos which I think is a little much?? What does everyone else think? I might have to ask the health nurse tomorrow and see what she thinks. Other than that she is doing really well and sleeping better now cause I am hoping the change in formula. I have Mothers Group today so I better start doing what I need to around the house before heading out today.

BBL - to everyone I haven't personally responded to.

[somewoman]

Yesterday within 24 hours Isabel has done 6 poos which I think is a little much?? What does everyone else think?

No comment - breastfed babies pretty commonly do only one poo per week or something thereabouts... We usually only have to deal with wet nappies on a day to day basis!!


Pixie - your night out sounds FAB! Glad you guys enjoyed =) Can't wait until we move to Adelaide and have the MIL, SIL, etc around to hand Alyssa off to!! "Here, take this!!"

Glorious day here today - might take Alyssa out into the back yard and do some gardening. I need to prep this house to sell it, and there's gardening or painting to do! Too nice to be stuck in here painting =)

Mel is having a day away from her puter and spending some time with family. Think she'll be back either tonight or tomorrow. She gave no ETA, but can't imagine she'll stay away from BB for long! =)

Waves to all

[Daydream Believer]

Ayapi - we are BF and we have a poo nearly every change, probly 90% are wet & dirty, the other 10% are just wet

[Jewel]

Pixie & Bear - I'm glad you guys have a great night out. Wow. Go your stepmum. We haven't gone out just by ourselves yet either. Probably won't be a for a while longer aswell. With just Elijah, he's fine to go with my sister, etc, since he's old enough to do most things himself but adding Hayden to the mix is a different story. I must have missed the Bear on Sunrise, cause I just saw the car and no people. Damn.

Mez - I'm not sure about the poos. The most Hayden has donein a day is 2. He usually has a poo every few days. It's worth asking about though, just to make sure everything is alright, which I'm sure it is. It might be the forumla change? I'm not sure, sorry I can't help.

SW - Wow. Only a poo a week or something?? Luckyyyyy

Kell - I hope Jesse eats more today. Poor little man.

Tan - Lol. I was doing that same thing and waiting up for Hayden's last feed before I'd go to bed and hell yeah it catches up on you bigtime. I hope you catch up on your sleep.

Missy - Awh, poor little Liam. I hope he's fine today.

Mel - Have a great day with the fam. Hurry back soon.

We had our immunisations this morning. It wasn't as bad as I thought I'd be. They both were really good. Elijah thought if he didn't take his arms out of his long sleeved shirt then the lady wouldn't give him any needles. Lol. Hayden got woken up with the stuff they have to swallow, so he was only half awake when they gave him his needles. Such an awful way to be woken up. They both didn't that cry much. I thought I'd be much worse with Elijah kicking and screaming, etc but it went kinda smoothly. YAY!

So how are you all? What's been going on?

xx

[ShootingStar]

Mez.. as long as theyre not diorhea then its proberly fine.. least her systems working fine! Keira atm poos once every 1-2 days.. however Jesse poos 3-5 times a day! Thanks hun.

Pixie.. glad you had a nice night out you and bear!

Well Jesse has had 2 1/2 weetbix for breaky (he loves the weetbix) and had a fruit puree squeezy thing for morning tea. Have just sat him down in his high chair with his lunch and will see what happens (banana, some crackers with vegemite and some cheese). Trying not to pay any attention to him in hopes he just eats.

Ohh now someone wants their bottle.. back later
