Babies born July 16th - 31st 2008 #3

[Arimeh]

Hi all, I've been so slack, reading through the posts, but then getting interrupted and not getting a chance to post.

And I've just read through it now and Miss M has just woken up - grr.. she seems to be pretty happy though - she's cooing at the moment. She's a strange one - she looks at the walls and does this noise halfway between a laugh and a gasp - its very loud - and quite funny....

Anyhoo...

Kel - hope the formula helps Keira - that reflux doesn't sound very nice...

Missy - I hate it when appointments get changed (but woohoo on the shower, I haven't had one today...LOL)

Pixie chick - i won't bother answering then.. pmsl...

Mez - such cute pics... I really should get my finger out and take some pics of my kids already..

Tenny - sooo cute.... they look so alike!!!!!

Had a good night last night - we fed her at 7pm and got her to sleep around 8.30 - then tried to wake her at 10.30 for a feed - she had about 30ml.. lol.. and then she went until 3.30am!!!! Woohoo!!!! And pretty much fell straight asleep after her bottle - so I was back asleep around 4.30 - yayyyy... then DS woke us up at 6.20... its either one or the other waking us up!!! Ah well.. we were running late this morning cos we are used to getting up before 6..lol

I'm sure I missed someone with personals... so HIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii to all and a big *mwah* and warm squishy hugs.....

p.s. SW - you already know what I think of your "baby" pics

[Jewel]

Mez - Your pictures are awesome. Her smile is adorable! I wish Hayden would smile when he gets all swaddled. He's usually kicking and fighting, but he wakes up with a smile so that's something.

Kell - Glad your appointment went well and Keira's chucking is reflux. I hope the thickened formula helps. Poor little mite.

Pixie - Sounds like Beth had a great night. I hope she keeps it up for you both. I hope the cyst settles down. I couldn't even imagine how painful it is.

Mel - Sounds like your DD might be settling into a better sleeping routine at night. Awesome!! Fingers crossed for you.

Missy - Grrr! I hate when people change appointments, especially when you have to get kids ready then they call at the last minute. It makes me wanna scream. I hope the appointment isn't cancelled again and everything turns out well.

Lol. Thanks for the comments about my boys. They do look alot a like, yeah Mel.

Ugh. The bubbablue is awake and whinging at me now, so I better go.

xoxo

[Anastasia]

Good evening everyone

Hope u all had a great day today. I didn't do much today apart from looking after Jonathan lol. I was in my pj's all day, cleaned the house.

Mary- The pics are sooooooooo beautiful, Izzy is just gorgeous. It did feel good geting my hair done & trimmed as I needed it.

Pixie- Yeah it feels great getting hair done

Kell- Hope with the AR Karicare formula will help Keira.

Missy- Don't u just hate it when they cancel appointments, it annoys the hell out of me. Let us know how it goes 2m sweety.

Mel- She looks soooooo adorable sweety

[thepixie]

missy you must be furious about that appointment as I'm sure you're anxious about Liam's heart murmur.... make sure you fill us in.
Mel, looooove the longies! so cute
Tenny
night all.... hope your babies behave for you!

[Tannis]

Tenny: Ashlea has been getting weighed every 1-2 weeks since birth, since feeding isn't an issue now *touch wood* will probably be every month. Love the pic of the boys, I wish I could get a pic of Jayden and Ash like that...Jayden is too young to stay still for more than 5 seconds. Ashlea has the double chin too hehe so cute!

Mez: WOW what great weight gain! I must plan a trip to Melb while the weather is nice . Love the pics of Izzy, I cant get a pic of Ash smiling she always does it when the camera isn't around.

SW: Your babies are gorgeous!!

Tasia: I haven't been to Northland in soo long! I used to go there a bit when I was in Melb. Woohoo on the bargin! And on getting your hair done! I have to get mine done before we going down to the Sunshine Coast....gotta look nice for Aricyn & Mehkelti . Its great having a day in your PJ's esp if its cold!

Rach: Woohoo on the sleep, hopefully Beth keeps it up for you....Good girl Beth for being good for your Mummy today!!

Kell: Hope Keira goes ok with the new formula and teats

Missy: Bugger about Callum's appt, how frustrating. Yay for having great kids today!

Mel: I so know that feeling, I have been reading all the posts and can comment on pics but as far as posting goes....never the time (could be cause I talk too much LOL ). Ash stares at walls too even if she has toys there. Can't remember if I said but yes we are coming down Saturday (27/09) and leave Sunday. Is there a pub or something close by that has a kids indoor play area? That would be perfect so the boys can play and if there is a big TV there Chris can watch the GF there too. Woohoo on the great sleep! Mehkelti is just beautiful!

Yesterday arve SIL#1 came over which was great cause she ran around with Jayden while I did washing etc, then she was about to leave when I mentioned that I was looking forward to a quiet night with the kids as Chris was going to squash, so she said "Oh if you're going to be on your own I'll stay" Grrrr....I WANTED a night with no one here so she held Ashlea while I cooked dinner for us all, then SIL#3 and niece came over too so no quiet night at all!

Ashlea was great last night, she fed and went to sleep at about 9.30pm I gave her a dream feed at 12.30am and she slept through until almost 7am! I think this is her routine for now and I am very grateful for it! Jayden is also sleeping through again and he hasn't had his dummy for 5 days now!

I went up to my work today as I haven't been there in a while and they are begging me to come back early! Its a great feeling being needed but they have buckleys of getting me back any time soon LOL. Still trying to find something I can do from home, FDC seems to be the only thing...work won't be impressed though!

Well I have to kids in bed asleep now, I probably should have a sleep myself before Ashlea's dream feed

[Zee]

https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ry.php?cat=952 Here are some of the pics from the meet up, have some more of The Pixie/Bear up close, Jesse & One of the twins but need to resize them.

I did read through the posts but to tired for personals, sorry I havnt been in.. Lucas had a reaction to his needles so its been tough here the last few days I have also been feeling so down.

Will pop in tomorrow when I can, having PIL over for dinner cause its DH's bday on Sat and they will be at a wedding.

[Missy]

OMG Af came yesterday and wow she is being a b&tch. Pain and very heavy sorry TIM.

Will let you all know how we get on today at the doc's.

Cant wait tomorrow as Melissa and I are getting hair cuts. Havent had one since before I was pg with Liam.

well got to get Callum's brekky

[ShootingStar]

Love the photos ladies! Keep em coming!!!!

Just a quick good morning for me today. We're off to Kristy's today for a play date

Keira seems so far so good on the formula. Its stopping her puke which is great! Just have to wait and see how it goes on the other end! If all good, then we'll switch full time.

Missy.. bummer you cant make it, but good luck at the doctors hun! Hope everythings ok.

Ok.. best get these munchkins dressed!

Have a lovely friday all!

[Arimeh]

*yawn* morning all

Kel - have fun with Kristy today And yay for new formula working - lets hope it keeps up!!!

Missy - ouchie - i remember AF ... haven't got it yet though....

Hi Zee - hope Lucas is better now...

Tan - I'm thinking Maroochy RSL? Will have to check out their website...

BBL - Girlie crying (screaming really)

[jessicakate]

well good morning everyone. I thought I better get on nice and early or else I never manage to get on. It might help if I was ever at home, but beween catching up with friends and mothers group etc I am out all the time. Actually Monday I was home, but little Miss decided that there wasn't enough stimulus at home and wanted me to entertain her all day long, and then Tuesday I took her in to see the friends I made at my last work before she was born, and Wednesday spent the day with my dad out at my nanna's place, and then yesterday had Mothers group and then MCH appointment straight after. Georgia has put on 370gms in 2 weeks. I think this is pretty good for BF baby, and she certainly seems chubbier. she was 8 weeks yesterday though and is still only 3.8 kilos, everyone still comments on what a little girl she is, but I feel like she is huge now. lol. she is very bright and smiles and talks all the time. Is anyone else's baby's favourite place their change table??? Today we are going out for lunch with my SIL her DS, and a mutual friend and her two DD's. Should be good, cos the weather in Melbourne is supposed to be very nice today. Anyway that is my news.

Kellxx - well it sounds like Jesse is finally feeling better, and that is great that he has started to sleep and eat properly again. My six week appointment with the pedi has been delayed too. when we were at the hospital he said to me that we might as well make it at 8 weeks instead of 6 and that way he can give her her immunisations as well.

Pixie - well done on the night out. we've been out at night, but Georgia has come with us so far. we'll have to arrange a night out soon though when I can be bothered expressing some milk for her so that my mum could feed her. Good work on the 6 tops for $70. I'll have to come shopping with you. By the way, where is the bear these days. haven't seen him on for a while.

Mez - Georgia does poo pretty much every time I feed her, or if not then she does it generally fairly soon after. Occasionally we might go half a day without one, but then we get like 3 in the space of a couple of hours. For a BF baby she sure does poo a lot. her poo is generally like pumpkin soup, but more watery. charming I know, and you should hear it, it isn't lady like at all.

SW - good luck with all the gardening and painting. I hope your house sells quickly. It is hard to know with this market. sometimes they sell really well and other times they can sit around for ages, despite how nice the house is. probably not so bad at the moment though, now that interest rates have settled down a bit. Oh and if you are going to make a new name like Mel has done by combining her bubs names, then I think you should put the AL first not at the end... she is number 1 child after all.

Tasia - hi hon. good bargain hunting with the baby einstein toy. well done. I'll have to inveset in a good mobile for Georgia's cot soon. I might just make one for the bassinette though. she won't be in there for much longer, and a few colourful paper cut outs will be enough of an attraction for her at the moment. I will just draw on some eyes and a smile and she should be happy.

Missy - bummer on the AF. As a BF mum, I am hoping to at least get the benefit of no period for a while yet. if i can I would love not to have it all summer. Have started taking the mini pill though, but I don't think that should bring it on any sooner than it would have naturally. I hope not anyway.

Ok girls I am going to straighten my hair whilst Gigi is still asleep. BBL. hugs to all that I missed with personals.

[thepixie]

morning all
Well she did it again! Slept through after her 11pm feed (she went to bed at midnight) all the way till 5am! and then we put her down again at 6.30 and the Bear and I went off and had a lovely little snooze and just woke up. Feeling great now!
Last night we made bread again so just having some freshly made toast with marmalade mmmmmmm drool.
Tan

Still trying to find something I can do from home

- know just what you mean! I love my work colleagues and my job is cushy but I don't really want to go back.... and I'm not sure it will be there by next June. But FDC I really couldn't do. I think I would throttle the little blighters.
Zee honey sorry to hear Lucas reacted badly to his shots. and thanks for putting up the photos!
Melski - if you keep expressing you might be able to keep AF at bay for a while!
Kristy & Kel = have a fun day
missy... hope it goes well at the docs
Mez, gorgeous pics of Izzy... what do you think of those swaddle wraps? I was looking at them in the shops but we have a million wraps.
Hi Tenny, tasia, JK, SW, feeb, and everyone else! have a great day!

By the way, where is the bear these days. haven't seen him on for a while.

O don't worry, the Bear is around.... he spends a lot of time in the recipes and cooking section! LOL but he has been out and about a fair bit this week.... he says hi!

[Ayapi]

Morning all,

Well last night would have to have been Izzy's best sleep! We feed her at 5pm, she finally fell asleep at 7pm and then didn't wake until 1:30am woohoo had a feed and then slept until 5am feed then slept until 8.30am. She is currently asleep now too.

Pixie - Yeah I love the wrap she seems to wiggle out of the normal wrap but this one she can't. I only have one though. Good to hear that Bear is still around.

Kell - Have fun at Kristy's for play day, I'm sure that you'll all have a great ol' time.

Jess - Yes Izzy's poos are just the same, not very lady like when they do them Oh and yes Izzy loves her change table we have a bug on there that she just adores and laughs and coos with, very funny to see. Have fun today sweet, it is a gorgeous day here in Melbourne.

A big hello to Mel, Tasia, Zee, Missy, Tannis, Tenny and everyone else. Have a great Friday all

[Missy]

[*Belle*]

hi girls

Im still recovering fromthis horrible flu. How ru all? I took Tara to the health clinic yesterday shes doing well now 4.5kgs, 54cm long and head circ of 37cm. Im still not doing well, my issues are causing our marriage to break down really bad so Im not doing so well. Not sure what to do at the moment where to start fixing things. Tara still not sleeping well during the night so I havent had much sleep.

Zee - honey big hugs I hope Lucas is better for you soon hon, Im sorry to hearyou havent been well either hon. lets chat soon ok?

Hello to everyone, I miss you all and will try and read and catchup with you all.

PS,. I love all your pics girls. they are great. If Syd girls meet up again can I come too

Bel

[Tannis]

Big Belle!! I hope you and your DH can work it out. Maybe once Tara starts sleeping a bit more and you get more sleep then the other issues may not seem so bad?? I know how bad I can get when I am sleep deprived. I hope your flu goes away soon, that can't be helping things either! Does your DH help out with the girls to give you a break sometimes?

Mez: Woohoo on Izzy's sleep!

Pix: If I had the kids I had over today I could do FDC, there is only 1 girl that gets up to mischief with Jayden but its all harmless...actually I caught the 2 of them in my bed under the covers LOL I got a photo of it...moments before Jayden had 2 girls under the covers in his bed....Gonna have to watch him when he's older!

Jess: WOW your one busy Mumma! I was like that when I had Jayden, I was never at home...That's how I came to join BB, I had to have something to keep me at home and I thought a forum would do that.

Mel: I'm about to check out there website, Chris said now that the TV must have sound I couldn't care less where he watches it I just thought it would be easier if we were at the same place.

Kell: Have fun at Kristy's! Woohoo with the formula!

Missy: Grrr @ AF! I didn't get mine back until I completely stopped feeding Jayden even 1 feed a day kept AF at bay ....I hope that happens this time too.

Zee: Aww poor Lucas! I hope he is better today, Ashlea gets hers on Tues.

Qu. about the needles.... When Jayden was little, the Chemist told me to give Jayden dymadon before we get his needles done, the midwives on the other hand said give him dymadon if he has a reaction (ie temp, whingy etc). The way I see it, I don't take panadol in case I get a headache, I'd take it once I have a headache. I was lucky with Jayden, he didn't get a reaction to his needles execpt a slight temp with his 12mth ones. I don't know if I should give Ash something JIC or chance it and give her some after if she needs it. Just wanted to know your thoughts, I don't think either is right or wrong just personal choice I guess.

Well Ashlea is still asleep (she fell asleep in the pram about 11.30am) and Jayden is still awake! I better check the state of his room!

[Arimeh]

Tan - I checked out their website - they have a kids room, but its like for older kids? I suppose we could still give it a go, but we would have to be there supervising both of them (give us a good chance to CHAT!!) LOL lemme know, cos otherwise I'll have to put my thinking cap on..

Belle - oh honey Relationships change sooo much with the birth of each child that you have. I'm lucky that DH just lets me get up him, even if he has done NOTHING, and just sucks it up and gets over it, even if I'm being irrational... lol.... Remember that we are all here for you...

Jess - holy cow you are one busy mumma - I think I need friends.. lol

Missy - hope your appointment went well

mez - thats a great sleep !!! woohoo!!!! Nothing like that here unfortunately.. its either one or the other waking up during the night - 4 or 5 times - so sleep deprivation is strong in this little house.. but its ok... won't last forever - and thats what coffee was invented for....

Pixie- not expressing that much - after the big amount from the other day - gone right downhill so a bit unmotivated to do it. Woohoo on Beth's big sleep!!!!

Well little miss is awake again - cos I PUT HER DOWN of course.... ahhh well.... got an excuse for a messy house at least

ETA - TAN - I give the kids panadol before their needles so they are already a little.. doped.... before getting the needle so it doesn't sting as much. But you're right - personal decision for everyone
