Babies Born July 16th - 31st 2008 #4

[Jewel]

Wow. Loads of talking today.

Mez - I'm alright, thanks. How're you doing? I hope Izzy is alright. Yeah, Hayden was all clawing me too. Wouldn't think little nails would hurt so damn much. Lol.

Mel - YAY! Your mum is back. Sounds like DD is going great with her sleeping. I hope the gaviscon is helping her.

Kell - Hayden moves all over the mat too. It amazes me how much he actually moves. LOL. I forgot when Elijah rolled over, and like around what age they do it anyways. That reminds me to go read stuff about milestones just to refresh my memory.
Lately Hayden has been sometimes drinking only 110-130ml then other times he'll have at least 180ml - 200ml. Depends really. How much is Keira having??

SW - Your house sounds great. I really love the internal courtyard you're having too.

Jess - Yeah, time is flying. It's scary stuff.

Tan - That's great of your mum! Wow @ Jayden's day sleep. That would have given you a much needed break and time to just spend with Ashlea. I hope you relaxed while he was sleeping.

Belle - I hope you're looking after yourself aswell.

It's so funny that it's like we're all thinking about TTCing again. Lol.
We haven't exactly decided on any time or dates but it's not out of the picture. I think DP wouldn't mind. We never set any amount of kids that we'd like to have either. We're just taking it as it comes I guess and see how money issues are at the time. I'm just not sure if I really want to have 3 boys if that's how things are going to pan out... yah know. :P

I finally got some pictures uploaded after like 4 attempts. Everytime I'd go to start mucking around with the photos or go to upload them I'd be interrupted by someone/thing.

[feeb]

monday in the arvo should be good for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[feeb]

jessicakate ummm maybe the wed arvo could be ok 15th??

[ShootingStar]

Tenny.. oh good. Keiras doing exactly the same with her drinking. Her first bottle and maybe the second of the day she has around 180-200mls.. then the 3rd and 4th are about 110-130mls.. then the last of the day is only about 90-100mls, if that.. as she falls asleep on it. Was just making sure. DH said he remembers Jesse not drinking as much as he was at one stage. A little while ago (im guessing when she had her growth spurt) she was polishing off the 150mls easy. Yeh i just looked up Jesse's to see when he did as she is so close. But yeh i know what you mean.. theyre growing so fast.
Oh i love your ticker photo and the others! Theyre gorgeous hun!!! Well when time comes for you to TTC let me know and ill tell you my "girl recipe" we used to get Keira. My sister used it after 2 boys also and had a girl!

[Tannis]

Mel: Bugger! I'd offer at my parents but there is barely enough room for us! FLights are heaps expensive ATM anyway.

SW: Lucky neither of my kids got that with their needles! Poor babies!

Kell: Hmm lotto ticket sounds good haha OMG @ Keira nearly rolling over!! I think Jayden was about 4mths too.

Tenny: LOve the photo Gosh you have good looking boys!! I fed Ashlea and put her to bed (thats the only time I spent with her while Jayden was sleeping) then I spent the time on BB, had lunch, did 10 kms on the bike (woohoo, thats the most i have ever done!) and 20 situps. I went into the other lounge to find Jayden sitting on the table watching TV that he turned on himself!

I'm off to SIL#6's new house for dinner tonight...bout time too I've cooked for her often enough LOL I always invite her though cause she is single she doesn't always cook a proper meal for herself. Chris should have been home ages ago and we should be at her house now! SIL#2 called me at 4.35pm to tell me I had to get up to FDC to sign something by 5.30pm or she won't get paid, I told her that was hard with 2 kids on my own, J had dirty nappy and needed a bath, A just woke up and needed a feed and bath,plus I looked terrible haha...but we just made it. THen when I got home there is a msg on MSN saying its ok its only a date and I don't have to go!! Oh well its done now but what a PITA

ETA: I had a boy and girl recipe too that worked both times

[Ayapi]

SW - thanks for that information sweet, I will keep a close eye on Izzy over the next couple of days. Oh and would love to catch up with you on 3rd will be great to finally meet you and Alyssa.

Feeb - Next Wednesday doesn't work for me as I have Mother's group either Mon/Tues is good for me.

Kell - Isabel has 150mls of AR and is only now drinking the whole bottle completely. Oh and Izzy is also wiggling around heaps on her playmat I find her off the sheep skin and on our floorboards. Plus she loves to stand have very strong legs. Woohoo on Keira rolling very impressed

Tan - Let us know when you have booked your flights sweet and we'll organise a get together.

Tenny - I'm doing really well hun, getting lots of sleep during the night (well as much as I'm going to get) so feeling good. I love your photos your boys are gorgeous you have a very good looking family.

[feeb]

i cant do mon ot tues. (mon i have a friends clothes party, tues mothers group) why dont we leave it till week after for the monday then. 20th?? in arvo (in morning i have outdoor personal training)

[thepixie]

Hello all!
Meetup in Melbourne sounds good - I'll have to see if I can come down too! Lots to organise tonight, and DD has been bl**dy awkward today... not sure what is wrong with her, wondering if its because I'm back on antibiotics again or if she is just being difficult.
Doesn't help that I didn't feed her before I went to bed last night, so she was up at 1.30 and then again at 5.30..... she slept through twice last week but now I feel like I'm the only one with a baby still waking up in the night!
And this morning I woke up to find that a chicken we had defrosting in the fridge (in two sealed plastic bags mind you) had somehow managed to drip chicken blood ALL over the bottom shelves of the fridge and in the vege crisper drawers. Just what I wanted to wake up to!
Anyway caught up with a friend I haven't seen in ages, so that was good, and now we are just trying to get ready to go away tomorrow!
Sorry no personals today, just been a completely crappy day (apart from seeing my friend) with DD being a right little so-and-so, and now have to pack so catch you all when we get back from holidays!

[somewoman]

Have a great holiday, Pixie and Bear!!

And yes - a Melb meetup would rock =)

[Missy]

Hi all

Awwww my little man is being a good boy. He is he best. He had his bottle last night at 7.30ish and went to bed at about 8 or so then didnt wake till 5.45am. Isnt he a fab boy...YAY son Callum also slept in his bed all night too. My boys gave me a big sleep last night and DH to up to Liam this morning so I got out of bed at 9am..big sleep in!!!

Oh Tenny love the photos hun. They good grea and your boys are beautiful.

Melb meet up would be great. Id be in it. Any ideas when. Is it alot of money for flights???

Kell Liam will only leave about 30mls if that. When I make up his bottle of 200mls once the formular goes in its up to 220mls so really he is just about having the full 200mls or so. There has only been a few times that he wont finish the whole bottle. And yes its usually at the everning bottle. If they want it they will let up know. We going to have a meet up this week??

Have a nice time pix and Bear

hi tannis, SW, Belle, Linds, kristy, jess, Ayapi, feeb,Arimeh and anyone else ive missed

Well better head off

night all

[jessicakate]

Wow!!! this Melbourne meeting is really heating up. Monday 3rd November is part of Melbourne Cup weekend though. Which isn't such a bad thing, but I go away for cup weekend every year. Fortunately for me, it has been cut back this year and finishes Monday morning. I should be right for Monday arvo. I have to get back from Phillip Island but if we can make the meet up like 2 or 3pm then that would be fine. People will be coming from different places so maybe southbank might be the best place to meet. if it is nice weather we should be able to have a very enjoyable afternoon.

Feeb and Mez. I can do Monday 20th. Anastasia can you make it?? where do you guys want to meet up this time?

Pixie, I hope you have a great trip, sorry you had a sh*tty day. The chicken thing would have been such a bummer. Also don't forget that Beth was the last bubba born in our group. Most of our babies are between 2 and 3 months, so if they are sleeping through and Beth isn't then I don't think you have to worry. also just cos Georgia normally sleeps through doesn't mean that I can rely on it. I definitely have my nights where she is up at 4:30 etc.

Feeb - if we are meeting on the 20th can you please send me the baby expo tickets. I would really appreciate it. I'll have to figure out what day you are going and see if we can meet up then too maybe. Mez, did you still want to go to it? I'll email you my addy on facebook tomorrow if you are still happy to send them.

ok better go, DH wants me to bring the puter out so we can watch another episode of Heroes. it is kind of weird this season.

[jessicakate]

Missy - hi there, I didn't see your post til after i posted mine. If you came down to Melbourne for cup weekend you could make it a holiday with your DH and even go to the races on Tuesday... but then I don't know who would look after the bubbas. too many people there for the boys.

[Anastasia]

evening ladies

I wrote a really big post & Now It didn't work it said cannot find server, ****ing thing.

[Anastasia]

I was going to say that Mary, feeb, Jess, pixie & tan I'm free anytime next week. Just this week I can't.

Tan- It will great to meet u. Don't worry about ur hubby. I know exactly how u feel I'm going through the same thing as well.

Pixie- looking forward to meeting u.

Mary, feeb & jess- CAn't wait to see u girls again.

I was thinking about buying a grow bag but not sure I reeeeeeeeeeeally hate those things. Does it do any good? Oh & I have increased Jonathan's milk up to 150mls, he was on 125mls. With 150mls how many hours should I do it?? I only started like at 8.00pm. Anyone else have there babies at 150ml?

I LOOOOOOOOOOVE this weather

xoxoxoxoxox

[feeb]

of course i will post them no worries

[*Belle*]

Hi girls thanks for your thoughts, im just popping in to say nighty night and will chat to you all inthe morning

Tassy - why do you hate the sleeping bag? its the best thing ever invented, it sure helped Julia sleep well from 3months onwards and also its great for Tara now, we only put her in it 2 days ago and shes really settled in it.

[Daydream Believer]

Doesn't help that I didn't feed her before I went to bed last night, so she was up at 1.30 and then again at 5.30..... she slept through twice last week but now I feel like I'm the only one with a baby still waking up in the night!

My baby still wont sleep for long, we're up to 3 1/2 hours at a time now, we've tried most things including baths before bed & wrapping. Tonight we are going to try her in the portacot & see if it makes a differnce out of the bassinette. The longest sleep we ever got was 5 hours and that was weeks ago

Melb girls -I can do meets anywhere just off the Monash fwy/West Gate Fwy/Western Ring Rd (we live just off the monash fwy) & SE suburbs, anything else is too far for us coz its an hour to the city as it is

Hope everyone is well & their bubbies are behaving, mines just gone to sleep so Im off to sleep too.
Night all

[thepixie]
