Babies born July 16th - 31st 2008 #3

Howdeedooo..

Mel.. will go check out your thread in a sec but :hug: before hand hun.

Bear.. OMG thats discraceful! Id definately be making a complaint! What if down the track you have to refer to those notes for a specific reason and theyre all wrong!

Tannis.. yeh ill have to remember to get a potty. But yeh i dont think Jesse will just sit on it and play iykwim. Hes too active. I think my best bet will be come summer to sit him down when he starts to squat.. then he might put 2 and 2 together.Thats great though Jaydens doing so well! lol re the 2's.. spookey! Oh if its not one up its the other hey. I find that in my house. Though Keira has been pretty good lately.

Mez.. oh izzy is just getting better and better every day hey! Thats so good hun! Glad shes sleeping so well for you.

Missy.. yeh i think he is a bit young still too.. like to understand. Thing is with him, he is happy enough to sit in a pooey nappy all day. So that will be my hurdle. He doesnt tell me to change it.

Well good news for me, i found my cot mobile.. had to go to Penrith though as my local didnt have it! Damn! But Jesse and Keira were both little gems for me out today so made it easier. But did a drive by 2 more day care centres and ehh nooo yucko. Didnt look that great from the road. Found another that looks ok. But also theres a preschool pretty much behind our house. It looks awesome and would love to send him there. But starts from 3 years old. So am thinking of putting his name down there to start when he turns 3 and if i dont find anywhere else in the mean time ill just wait for that and keep him home still with me.

Ok gonna go make a cuppa while the munchkins are asleep.

Mel: Yeah I love the one Craig took too...she hasn't been too cute today! She has been pretty whingy and feeding lots, must be a growth spurt...so exhausting! Definitely come up soon! Thats great you got A from the car to his cot!! I read the boohoo sect and commented :hug: I'm glad Keenan is home, hope he is ok!

Kell: YAY on finding a mobile, bugger you couldn't get it local though! Lucky you with the kids! Gone are the days when Jayden is good when we are out!

I can not do house work with Jayden around, he tries to help and of course makes it worse and takes me longer to clean up after him!
Jayden is filthy from playing in dirt before so I better put him in the bath.

Mel honey it may never happen again!
Tan it probably is a growth spurt, DD was like that, eating constantly the last two days and today she is basically been sleeping all day! she has been awake for like half an hour
Kel Yay for your two being good for you at the shops. I don't think we'll bother getting the letter corrected... I don't know how we would get hold of the right people etc, especially since they never even sent us a copy in the first place, although the letter had a note on it that a copy was to go to the parents.
Anyhoo, BBL for more personals.... someone wants me!

Pixie.. i got ours when we discharged from the hospital. Well, being i came home early and was on the midwife program (where they come to your house), once they discharged me from that program they gave it to me on my last visit. BUt yeh, still.. very slack of them not getting it right hey.

Tan.. oh that was Jesse until not long ago too.. but he still has his horror days out. I like to bribe him now.. lol. Be a good boy for mummy and il buy you a matchbox car. I know bribing aint good but if it works and makes life easier im happy with it! I know what you mean about the house work. Same with bringing in or hanging out the washing. Jesse likes to help and hand me the clothes out fo the basket but when im not fast enough they get thrown on the ground :rolleyes:

Rach: Ashlea was awake and whingy most of the morning (although she did have 2 x 30-40min naps) but she went to sleep I think it was about 2.30pm and is still asleep now....thinking of waking her soon, surely she is hungry by now! I guess you guys know what happened in the birth, just document it yourself in Beth's baby book or something. I don't think I got a discharge letter, I did with Jayden....could be amounst other papers that they gave me.

I try the bribery thing too...matchbox cars are usually a winner, but not always. I was doing a rewards chart with him, but I have slacked off lately but he does get stickers for going to the toilet. LOL at the clothes ending up on the ground! Jayden has done that too, luckily he doesn't often want to help with hanging the clothes...he programs the washing machine though cause he loves the beeps and the water coming out :rolleyes:

Both my kids are asleep....Ash I will need to feed soon but Jayden I'm hoping is out for the night! Chris put a movie on for him while I was folding clothes, he rarely falls asleep during a movie but I guess he was pretty tired! Pizza night tonight too so no dinner to cook......LIttle miss is awake now better go

Don't you hate when you pop out of the house for like 15mins or something short like that and you don't think to take the baby bag then what do you know.. Pooey nappy!! It's just my luck these days. Lol. It was HUGE,

Mel - I'm glad your dog is alright and home now.

Kell - YAY 2 good kids while you're out. Whoohoooooooooooo! Good idea about putting Jesse's name down at the preschool near you now.

Tan - I wish Elijah would help me clean. He used to like to pick toys and big things up off the floor when I vacuum, but these days he hates it.

:hello: I hope you all had a great day.

I better go start dinner.

lol.. ok running along now....

Hi girls

Havent been around the traps for few days girls been really busy DH has been home sick so looking after him and the girls. Had my first psychatrist appt today to help me get over my PND and OCD was quite interesting she gave me some books to read. She asked me who in my family had or has it, I think my dad did. Interesting to see its passed down. She said need to keep close eye on my kids :(

Mel - any news yet on DD's rash?

hello everyone. Im knackered as Tara is having a growth spurt and feeding every 2 hours so back in the morning girls to say hello with more personals.

Hi all

Geee you ladies can talk.


Just thought Id pop in and say night.

Wow bear love the car!!

Well hugs to you all. Was going to do personals but sheeeesh there is to many. Might do them tomorrow. Night all

Tenny: J only things he's helping haha..."me do it, me help" meanwhile the stuff I have jsut swept into a nice pile is spread all over again! LOL I should use the vacuum but J will hit it into the wall and leave marks....I know his "helping" will be short lived haha.

Geoff: WOW....love the car!! Where's Beth's seat LOL.

Belle: Hope the new psych helps, I'm sure the kids will be ok :hug: Can't remember if I mentioned but I like your new hair cut! I'm still not so sure about mine, I have a fringe now...its very hard to get used too!

J fell asleep at 5.30pm last night, he woke at midnight wanting to go to the toilet (1st thing he said to me) so I took him and he did wee (woohoo) and back to bed, Chris went in there to lay with him and they both fell asleep until I woke Chris up at 6.30am for work....Lets hope J is in a great mood today after all that sleep! Ashee's been a little high maintenance....wanting to be held a bit more than normal, still think its just a growth spurt though...she slept great yesterday and last night. We are going to J's old FDC today for a play, we are walking there so I'm hoping J will walk the whole way there and back as I don't want to take the dbl pram (I don't know how to put it down again LOL).

Little miss is having a teary so I better get her & J dressed and ready to go at 9.30am

Mellie grumpy.

BBL for personals

;)

Good morning ladies :)

Sorry I haven't been on, been sick. I'm better now. I had throat & ear infection, my right ear was really red & had fluid. My whole body was aching me I felt like ****. So I'm feeling much better now :) This question is for anyone. Does ur baby/babies throw up just a little milk after a while? Or... Does ur baby/babies after let say 1 or 2 hours throw up white fluid?? Cause Jonathan always throwing up white fluid & I wonder why? Do u think I need to change my formula? He's on Karicare Gold Birth atm. I told MHN & she said it's nothing it's only because he is little & has sensitive stomach, but I don't know, any advice plz, I am willing to change formula, but not sure which one, maybe the thick Karicare but wat kind is it?

thanx ladies xoxoxoxox

Anastasia - yeah M throws up after her feeds, but its nothing serious. Just a little extra. If he presents other signs of reflux however, then i would probably get him checked out. I wouldn't change formulas just yet - I usually only change formulas when their poo is getting hard, rabbit pellet type things..

Bear - woooahhhhhhhhhhh baby thats a NICE car.... bugger the plane - you guys can drive up here and visit me instead.... no room for SW obviously though.. Hmm... will have to get a trailer on the back and put a couch on there for her.. lol

Tan - thats great news about J and wees!!! Woohoo for him!!!!!

Belle - I hope the books are helpful *hugs*

Kel - yeah I know that show - never really got into though.. one of the men in there absolutely ***** me so it just annoyed me to watch it.. lol

Tenny - yes. I know about the poo and the no extra nappy!! ARGHHH.. had that yesterday at the park - and now A has the most terrible nappy rash from the disposable I had to borrow. Poor bugger nearly cries when I wipe his ar$e now..

Hello to everyone else.

Didn't have the best night last night. Went to bed at 11pm... then she woke up at 2am, stuck the dummy in, woke up at 2.30 - had 40 ml of her bottle and was just screwing around with it, so then it was 20 minutes of screaming in her bed trying to get her back to sleep... grrrr... think I got back to sleep around 4am.... A woke up at 5am, luckily went back to sleep till 6....

But anyway.. won't last forever.. I'm thinking that she's in a habit now of waking up at that time, and she isn't really needing the feed - hence the drinking of 40ml and screwing around... so I might have to keep chucking in the dummy and see how that works....

Went for a walk this morning with both kids -OMG - the hills around here are SOOO bad... with him in the pram (which weighs 14kg itself - so he's 12.5, pram 14 and her on my front - 5kg...) no wonder I'm buggered!!!! LOL

Hihi.

Belle - That's so interesting that it's passed down through families, yeah. I so didn't know that. I hope it helps with your PND and OCD. :hug:

Bear - OMG. What a flashh car! It looks fast. Red is fasttttttttt! Looks awesome!!

Tasia - Haydie sometimes has a little bit of milk chuckup after a while. It doesn't even bother him. Jonathan is fine, and the MHN said it was fine too. It's all good. Don't stress. :hug:

Mel - Whoa. You go girl with the walk! I hate hills and I know I wouldn't be able to push a pram and babywear at the same time like you. Way to go! Ugh.. nappy rash. Your poor little man. :hug:

Tan - WHOOHOO with J and his TT. I hope you have a great time at the play thing. :)

Mel.. oh sorry you had a bad night. You can always try giving her some warm water if she wakes at night. If she has any wind it can help settle it and settle her at the same time. If it is warm where you are, she might just be thursty also. Hope it gets better for you.

Tannis.. well done for the midnight wee!! Have a fun day at the FDC!

Belle.. hope the appointments start to help.

Well Jesse was had me up all night as usual. So over this with this boy. Keira isnt wanting all of her bottles atm, but seems fine and content and is growing. I think shes had her little growth spurt (hense her being so big-porker!) and is just having a break from it atm lol. Though we bathed her last night and she has to have her legs bent now to fit in the baby bath!! How is everyone else bathing atm? I have a lie down seat for the big bath we used for Jesse to put her in.. but ehh so much easier just using the baby bath. But we may have to step up to the big bath soon. Just had a look at Jesse's stats and yep he had his first big bath when he was 2 months and 3 days old.. pretty much same age as Keira now.

thanx Ten & Mel, He doesn't get upset after he throws a little milk up. And his poos are not hard. So maybe I should stop stressing, I just hate it when he throws a little milk up, it's annoying. Even the white fluid. Do ur babies get that too?

Tasia.. sorry honey i missed your post. Glad you are feeling better. Keira will always bring up a little when being burped. But prior to going onto the AR formula she would contantly bring up milk, or even stomach acids with curdled like milk in it hours after her feed. I noticed also that it hurt her when she brought it up (her eyes would water and go red). How much is he bringing up later on? Does it look to be hurting him? Jesse was always a puker too. He would bring up a little an hour or so after his feed but it wasnt much (Keira's was a fountain) and didnt cause him any distress.
You can try after feeding him, sitting him up for at least 20 minutes, either on your lap or in a bouncer/rocker. Putting a dummy in after a feed if he takes them as the sucking can help keep anything down. Also change his nappy before you feed rather than later as laying on his back and lifting his legs after a feed can push the milk back out. If you are concerned just go and see your GP. I did with Keira and she suggested the AR fomula. We can now take a bib off Keira after a feed and not worry shes going to get drenched!
