Babies Born July 16th - 31st 2008 #4

[Tannis]

Mel/Kell: Thanks for letting me know about the vitamins. I got them and J has already had his 1st dose...How long approx will it take to work? I know I may not see any change in him but if there was to be a change would it happen within a couple of weeks or a month?

Missy: 9mths to gain 9mths to lose.....Didn't work that way after I had J but it made me feel better at the time. I never had a weight prob pre-kids (I struggled to gain weight) so I assumed the weight would just drop off...Pfft...then I joined the real world and figured out I have to eat right and excercise and I am too lazy for that haha....I'm sure you look fine, but I understand the love handle thing...I don't like mine either.

Tenny: Hope things start looking up

Zee: Big Hope Lucas settles for you soon hun! The kids last night were pretty good, I even said to there parents I'll have them anytime! Oops!

Kell: I have a very settled baby too...Pity Jayden isn't as well behaved!

Chris is msg'ing me to come to bed....unheard of for him, usually he just goes to sleep! We went into town tonight with the kids, went to Jaycar to get some cable/adaptor for the screen we got for the car then we went and had dinner and walked up and down the main st....not sure what has got into Chris but it was nice spending time with just him and the kids for once....its the 1st time we have all been out together without the rest of the family! Anyway I'll catch up on personals tomorrow

[Missy]

Morning all

YAY Liam slept through again... ....Awwwww what a good boy. Callum only came in once just as I was going to bed last night so put him back and he is still asleep now...wwoooohoooo.

Anastasia you DH needs to pull his head in and be abit more supportive I think. Id be clapping my Hubby if he was treating or talking to me that way. WTF is his problem. I wouldnt be having another baby in the near future if this is how things are going to be.


Yeah Kristy park is fine with me. Just let me know where in windsor. Have fun today hun.


Tannis yes I have heard that saying 9 to 9 months. But I have a school reuion on the 2rd Nov at the pub and have to be back to my little figure they then. ....I use to msg my DH to come to bed too whn I felt like some loven....pmsl....doesnt happen anymore...lol

Well hope everyone has a nice day today. Im going to have a lazy day and think I might do some ironing....

BBl

[Tannis]

Just a real quick one til I can get on later....
Tasia: Huge for you hon! I didn't see your post yesterday.....Chris is very much like your DH, he would say that with the grocery shopping and car! Seriously think really hard before having another baby, as you said it will only make things worse. I hope your friend leaves her DH quick smart too....Chris might be a pr ick to me sometimes but he would never hit me!

Missy: Chris was asleep before I got to bed, don't know how he falls asleep so quick....he wouldn't have wanted any lovin

Flights are booked to Melb, we are leaving QLD on 29 Oct and return from Melb 9 Nov...Chris is coming too which is why we are there less than 2 weeks...not happy about that but what can you do?
Anyway I still have to kids asleep (I was up to Jayden twice last night) so I better have a shower and breakfast while I can!

[Arimeh]

Morning all

PMSL @ Chris messaging you Tan... is your house that big??? LOL I think the vitamins take about 3 months to kick in properly too. Have a great time in Melb mate...

Anastasia - i don't know how you put up with that crap. It astounds me what women will put up with sometimes. Definitely have a good think about having another one - more fights with two kids - I can honestly say that!!!

Missy - you are so funny honey I'd love to meet you one day!!!

Kristy - wasn't knocking it, I like the show - I was knocking DH...lol... I love Shaun the sheep - its so funny!!!!

Well I woke Miss M up at 10 last night cos she only had 4 bottles yesterday, so she was asleep by 11, woke up round 3.30ish - settled with a dummy and woke up this morning about half an hour ago... what a good girl!!!! She has finally moved up to drinking around 200ml now, instead of 135ml - woohoo!!!! Maybe now she will start to chunk up!!! She is sooo skinny with these long gorilla arms...lol

Might clean up the house today cos DS is at daycare. So much easier to just take care of 1 at a time. Have to ring around more daycares too

Have a good day all!!!

[Missy]

Hey Tannis yess My DH falls asleep at the drop of a hat. Takes me forever and it shi&s me some times. I can be so tired but still takes me heaps to get to sleep.

Arimeh yay on miss m and her sleeping. What a good girl. Isnt it great When they sleep though. I so love it. Awwww id love to meet you too hun. I so need a holiday....Yes its so easy looking after one then two or three not that I really need to look after mel but still she counts on me for some things. I love Mondays and tuesdays as its just me and Liam.

Have to have a shower..bbl

[Ayapi]

Morning lovely mummy's and babies...

Mel - I realised that Isabel was only having 4 bottles over 24hours and thought it wasn't enough so I decided to try out dream feeding her at 9pm and it worked. she was asleep when I feed her and went straight to bed afterwards until 2:30am. Have you tried that rather than waking M?? Wow 200mls Izzy is still on 150mls but once she turns 3 months I think I'm going to up it to 200mls.

Tannis - Woohoo you're coming to Melbourne that is wonderful, will you have time to have a catch up with us Melbourne girls?? We would love to meet you and your little ones Maybe we can tee it up for when SW is here too.

Kell - I'm so happy that your little girl is so settled like you said you had a hard time with Jesse so you deserve to have one good settler in your family I wouldn't be apologising for that. Have fun this morning with Kristy and the kids.

Missy - Oh hun I really wouldn't be stressing about your weight, I am the same as you wanting it to come off straight away as I have a wedding in December and none of my lovely dresses fit me. I think that it might be cause I'm older so it's taking longer for it to come off. I like need to lose 6kg to get to my normal pre-pregnancy weight. I'm sure it will happen. But we don't buy junk food anymore otherwise I just eat it during the day cause it's quick and easy.

Tasia - Sweet I would just tell your DH to full his head in, he needs to chill a little cause you're doing a great job looking after his son and it's a full time job. I really don't think they understand that. Plus we have to look after the house, cook, wash and everything else that us MUMS do.

Zee - :hugs: to you sweet, maybe little Lucas does have colic like Kell said have you seen a doctor?? I feel for you and just remember we are here for you no matter what!

Oh I better go I can hear Izzy talking to herself in bed, another 30min nap man this girl doesn't like sleeping...

[Missy]

OMGosh. Liam just giggled. It sounded so cute. I forgot how it sounded but how sweet it was.....

Ayapi..yes im not going to worry anymore as im starting a diet om monday. oh Izz hun maybe needs more bottle. to stop the little sleeps. When I up'd Liams to 200mls he is sleeping 1-3hrs during the day. Just a thought hun.

[kristy J]

hey guys

kell and i had a fantastic time today. but we usually do. it was an early one today so we miss the midday sun 8am at the park we played for 2 hours and then went to richmond to watch Fifi on stage and we both bought the boys shoes each. FYI their is a shoe shop in richmond (called Zorans) and 9/10 they are having a sale, they sell great quality kids shoes (nike, adidas, rebock, etc) for only $29 i got ike some really nice dress sneakers for $19.95. they have nice ladies and mens shoes too.

syd mums - What does everyone think about a park near windsor this meet, we can take turns where to go. its about 30 mins from my place and about 40 from 7 hills way. we can meet closer to other houses next time to make it fair.

mel i dream feed to but i don't pick them up i just give them about 75-100ml in a slow feed teat its enough to fill them and they sleep longer. i use a slow teat so they don't get too much wind so i don't have to burp them.

Ayapi just wanted to say hi i haven't really spoken to you directly in a while. CC is a pain in the bum the QV oil is ok but i would buy some Tricology shampoo (Delorenzo make it) it is for sensitive skin and helps cradle cap. sometimes moisture can make it worse. What colour is it, cradle cap is yellow ish. scaley scalp is white. it is recomended to use oil for CC and pick it off and moisture for scaley scalp.

mel (again) me too re DH and cartoons. i have 4 kids how about you?

missy i wore a corsett to my reunion no flab in sight but shhh its a secret. and woohoo on the giggle how cute.

ok my boy just came over and i think his bum has exploded the smell is rotten BBL if i can

love to all

kristy

[Arimeh]

Have you tried that rather than waking M??

Well she wakes up when we pick her up to give her a dream feed - so I don't wake her - she wakes up. DS was different - he would sleep and eat. She doesn't. If she is asleep, she doesn't suck.


Missy - yayy.. that is sooo cute!!!! Miss M hasn't giggled yet - she does this screech kinda thing when smiling - so that could be getting close.. lol

[Ayapi]

Missy - I'm just feeding her at moment and trying 200mls so I'll see if see will drink it all. how wonderful of Liam giggling it's so cute hey. Izzy giggles when her daddy does the chicken dance it's adorable.

Mel - fair enough.

[Arimeh]

Mel - fair enough.

I hope you don't think I was being b!tchy or anything - just saying what she is like. Its a pain in the ar$e that she doesn't suck unless fully awake..

Not like her mother who can do three things at once - must take after her father.. pmsl.

[ShootingStar]

Howdy all!

Well the boys had a great morning at the park!
Missy.. cool re Wednesday! The park is great! Its on Haweksbury Valley Way opposite the Raff base. The kids love seeing the planes take off.. Callum will love it! Plus the park is so nice.. lots of equipment for them and space to run around.. and a little coffee shop for us to get a coffee at!
Anyone else is very welcome to join us.

Mez.. yep i found only sorbelene worked for Jesse's. You just put a fair amount on, rub it in. Leave it for an hour or so, then wash off with baby shampoo vigerously.. then towel dry vigerously and repeat until gone. It worked a treat with Jesse's. I tried the oil but was too oily and didnt really work.

Missy.. oh how cute Liam giggling! I dont think Keira really has.. more cooing i think with a smile.. i remember Jesse never did until about 7 months or something.

Tannis.. i noticed Jesse's moods changing after a day or 2. So y eh hopefully his will too very soon. He still has his grumpy times and tanties.. but he just listens alot better now i find.

Ok have to run..

[Missy]

Oh cool Kell

I know where it is. As for Liam giggling I was shocked too. I was smiling and talking to him and then I rubbed my head on his tum and he giggled...I then LOL and it scared him then he cried. I think callum was about 16 weeks when he did. Ive been trying to do it again but getting lots of coo's and smiles but no more giggle. It looks like he is about to do then he will coo instead...Oh well it was very cute..

[kristy J]

oh cool missy thats 3 of us for windsor park (opp Raaf base) who else is coming??????

[ShootingStar]

Missy.. oh so cute!!!! haha! Keira actually screams/squeels. When shes happy and youre talking to her she will squeel so loud. Im surprised Jesse isnt awake, even after being so tired from this morning. OH COOL! Wednesday will be fun! What time is good for everyone??
