Babies Born July 16th - 31st 2008 #4

Morning all

well Liam slept from 8 - 4 so I think that is pretty good. Callum slept in his own bed all night . he is getting so good at it now. Callum and Matt (DH) have just left to go to the zig zag railway to see the big Thomas train. Gone with BIL and his two boys. Callum has no Idea where he is going. We have just been saying that he is going to a massive surprise...lol. He was so excited to be goine evern not knowing where he is going....hehehe..:lol: Cant wait to see the photos.


Jess I bet Georgia looks beautiful in her little dress. Did you take any photos. AWWWW hope you have a good time at the meet up.

Oh just watching fox news about the abortions. How can they bring in that you can abort your baby at 24 weeks. Im outraged about it. I understand some ladies have abortions ( and that is up to them ) but come on to allow it to happen at 24 weeks. If a lady goes into labour at 24 weeks there is a 50/50 change it will live and the doc's/nurse would try their hardest to make them live. Oh IM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!!. Im going to ask this as I sit here tearing up, do you think the babies at 24 weeks would feel being ((((KILLED)))) AND how would they do it.??????????????????????????

Im sorry for this downer but boy im f*****en P&sed at the moment!!!

Morning!!!

Well im so tired! Even though BOTH my kids didnt wake up at all last night woohoooooo!!!!!!!!!! Keira had her first night in a grobag too! No worries at all.. shes a little troopa. So bye bye to the wraps for us which im very happy about!
Jesse and i are off to swimming this morning with Kristy and Isaac. The boy's swimming lessons start back next Saturday and we thought it might be best going and just having a little swim ourselves the week before swimming starts.. just so that they can get use to the water again since our little break to have babies! Dont think theyll have any issues.. Jesse spashes up a storm in the bath as it is!

Groovey re Wednesday!!! Hope the weather holds out! So far its me, Kristy and Missy/Julie.. anyone else?

Pixie/Bear.. welcome back, glad you had a great holiday!!

Missy.. oh Callum will have a great time there! Kristy and i were talking about taking the boys sometime. Oh hmm yeh i dont agree with it at all if its just for someone who doesnt want a baby. They would have had ample time early on to stop their pregnancy. However if it was for medical reasons.. ie.. if the baby has severe medical problems that will see them to have a really hard life.. then i can understand it. But that would be the only reasons i would agree with it.. as i know if i was to fall pregnant again and find out at my 19 week scan that the baby is severely deformed or have major problems that will result in them needing constant care or sergeries for the rest of their life, we just couldnt do it.. and i dont really know how fair it is on that child to bring them into a world where they can not enjoy life. We also have other children we have to consider as well iykwim. Thats just my opinion on it. Id have no idea how they would do it.

Keira has a major facination with her hand! She will sit there holding it out, moving her fingers and just looking at it. Its like shes just worked out that that hand belongs to her.. kinda like that baby on Look Whos Talking in the womb going oooow look theres a hand :lol:

Hey Kell I think its just going to be us 3 on wednesday but hey thats cool. The 3 boys will have a ball. Oh Yes I didnt really think about the termination in the sence that if there was some thing really wrong. I just wish they could find out earlier IYKWIM as 24 weeks its over 1/2 way.
YEs on the hands. Liam is the same. LOL at the womb comment. I remember that movie and that seem. Very funny. Liam is more loves putting his hands in his mouth. Liam is more interested in watching Callum. Callum will be sitting watching a movie and Liam will be in his bouce - a - net and looking at Callum smiling and coo'ing at him. Callum doesnt take any notice but Liam doesnt care as he just watches him. Its so very cute and funny.

BBS going to have breccy.

Hi all.....((waves to everyone))

:happybirthday:HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACH!!!:birthday2::partysmiley: Hope you have a great day! Great to hear you enjoyed your holiday too, photos are awesome, Beth is gorgeous!

Jess: Ash wears dresses sometimes (she hasn't got many yet)..Georgia will look gorgeous! Mon 3rd Nov sounds good at this stage...we'll plan it for then. We are staying in Templestowe. Afternoon should be ok but Jayden will probably be a bit cranky/whingy. Unfortunately my excercise bike does just sit there most of the time, but only because Jayden won't sleep in the arve and I don't get time.

Missy: Yay on Liam and Callum sleeping through! Hope Callum enjoys his surprise...sounds like fun!

Kell: Must have been the night for kids sleeping! My 2 both slept through too. Yay on getting rid of the wraps. Ash does that with her hand too

Re: Abortions....I think its totally up to the mother, but I don't agree that it can be done so late in the pregnancy. If you were to go in to early labour at 24wks, as Kell said 50/50 chance of survival but if it doesn't survive you have to name the baby and give it a funeral....how can you abort at that stage. I also agree that if there are servere physical or mental problems then there is a right to abort but not just for changing their mind on wanting a baby...there is always adoption.

Jayden threw up his vitamins this morning probably shouldn't have given it to him straight after his weet bix!! Ewww....it was disgusting! Can I give it to him in his food? I hope I see an improvement before 3mths! haha Not sure I can handle his moods for that much longer...Better go, he has already started this morning! Its so exhausting....lucky Ash is a happy baby!

:happybirthday::dance::confetti:HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RACH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HIPPIP HORA:happybirthday::dance::confetti:

.



Im sure you can give it to him in his breccy tannis. Dont see why not. Hope he is ok now hun. Have a good day!!!

Aw thanks guys :redface:
I won't be able to make it to the meetup this week, the Bear will need the car to get to his new job! :hooray: Besides, I don't think I could get to Windsor by 9am!
Anyhoo - hope you all have a lovely day :dance::dance::dance:

Good morning ladis :)

Howar we all. Thank you so much for your support about my husband. I know he shouldn't be acting like this but wat can I do. I just had enough I don't hear about it anyomore. We ordered a treadmill & it came yesterday wooooooohoooo. Is anyone going to Oaks Day?

HAPPY B'DAY RACH!!!!! :)

Missy- I'm soooooooo against abortions, i think it's wrong how can you kill your baby, it is the mother's choice in wat she wants to do, butcome on man at 24 weeks plz.

Tannis- oooohhh poor little bugga hope he gets better soon.

Kell- With the grobag ar the arms free or are they wrapped as well?

Thanks...Jayden is fine, just didn't like the vitamins I guess. I will put it in his lunch later hehe

Tasia: Woohoo for the treadmill! We spent $2500 on a treadmill when we were in Melb and I very rarely used it (I used to smoke so I was in no shape back then! Naughty me! ;)) We sold it when we moved to QLD, wish we still had it now!

Chris just called, he wants me to get the kids in the car now (A is asleep) and bring him a hat! He is only about 5 mins away...why can't he come home and get it himself? He is working with a mate building units today...but surely its easier for him to come home than for me to load the kids in the car and go to him??

Tannis- hubby got it from e-bay it was worth 2 or 3 thousand but we got it for $600. Can't wait till he opens it up so I can use it. I told him I will fix it but he goes no it's too heavy. Sweety I know wat you mean. was it u that said to me ur really shy when u meet new people?

:partysmiley::birthday2:HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACH!!!! :birthday2::partysmiley:
Hope youre spoilt rotten!

Missy.. oh isnt that cute! I can see Liam is going to really look up to and love his big brother!! Already does! Keira just looks at Jesse like.. oh god not him again :lol: But she does goo and smile at him when he gets up close lol

Tasia.. yep arms are free. Its like a big jumpsuit without any arms in it, but like a sleeping bag at the bottom. Woohoo on the treadmill!!!!!

Tannis.. oh dear poor Jayden. Yeh i give it to Jesse in his weetbix. He has banana & pear fruit puree (the baby jar lol) on top of his weetbix so i just put the vitamins on the weetbix, then spoon over the puree. Oh yay for everyone sleeping through!!!

The boys had a great morning at the pool! Isaac was laughing his head off when he first got in.. was so cute. And they were both jumping in off the side.. clever monkeys!
Well best go.. MIL is coming over to watch the kids so DH and i can go do the shopping in peace! yay!

hi girls, just going to put some new pics up now of Tara in her bassinet, see how much shes grown and now in her growbag! so cute.

Tasia: Great bargin!! I'm a bit shy but not too bad
Kell: Sounds like the boys had fun! Did the twins and Keira go for a swim too?
Belle: Gorgeous girls!!
Both kids asleep thank god! I really need a sleep myself today, I don't feel normal haha. We are going to an engagement party tonight, should be good but it will be an early night I think.
Well I'm off to see if I can sleep before A & J wake up

afternoon all...

Kell - so glad you all had a great time today at swimming. Question for you cause Keira sleeps through the night how do you manage to give her 5 bottles each day?? last night her last bottle was at 7pm she went down by 8:30pm and didn't wake until 4:30am which meant that she only had 4 bottles?? Do I need to wake her or give her a dream feed to make sure she has 5 bottles??

Belle - love the photos of Tara and Julia they are both adorable. How are you doing?

Pixie/Bear - what gorgeous holiday pics! Little Beth is so beautiful and yes she does look like you Rach.

:happybirthday: Rach I hope you had a lovely day!!!

Tasia - Woohoo on the treadmill sweet, my DH wants one too but I just know that we will use it at the beginning and then forget about it so really it's a waste of money in our household!

Zee - How did Lucas do for you last night?? How are you feeling too?

Well today we FINALLY went to the accountant and logged our tax for 3 years oh I know we are bad but just really haven't had time or organised enough lol. We have to attend a 1st Holy communion tomorrow so little Izzy is going to wear a cute little dress. Hope you all have a great weekend.

A BIG :bluecheer:to everyone else that I have missed...

Mez.. Keira usually has bottles around 7-8am, 11am-12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9.30pm. But yeh i just work it out so she has 5 bottles between 3-4 hours apart. Shes not drinking enough at the moment for me to cut one out. At night, she's usually asleep from around 7pm and i just wake her, by changing her nappy and get her in her grobag and give her one last before i go to bed (the 9.30pm one). She usually will only have about 100mls max as she falls asleep on the bottle, but i just try and get as much as i can into her (by tickling and poking etc lol). I think she'd wake me earlier in the morning otherwise lol. If she doesnt drink much im not phased.. i know if shes hungry she'll let me know. I think you just need to make sure she's drinking enough for her body weight over 24 hours. They usually should have around 90mls per kg over 24 hours until theyre 3-4 months. But also every baby is different and unless theyre losing weight, theyll just drink what they need. Hope you get a nice pay out from your tax returns!

Tannis.. nah Keira stayed with DH and the twins were with Kristy's mum. So it was nice for us to have some 1 on 1 time with our boys. Have fun at the engagement party!

We just had home made pizzas for dinner mmmmmmmmmmmm they were so good.
Have to go shower with the boy now.
Have a nice evening all!

Hi all

Well had a nice day with Liam and Melissa. I did the ironing and Mel and I watched DVD's all day, Made fish and chips and Liam was just watching us...Callum and DH got back from seeing Thomas about 5pm. Callum was so tired. He had the best time. Ive uploaded some photos.

Tannis I hope you didnt go take him the hat. As you said he is only 5 mins away why couldnt he come and get it...geeee's men some times. Hope the vit gets down this time with out coming back up. Have fun at the party hun.

have fun at the movies belle

Ayapi oh wowo about the tax..can you go that long without doing one. Awwww cant wait to see the dress Izzy wears tomorrow at the communion.

Kell yummmy on the pizza's. I love home made ones. Now that I think about it I think Liam is only having 4 bottles some days of 200ml. The last couple of days he has been having only 150 and more then 5 bottles I think. He must be having a growing spert. I will have to make sure he has 5 bottles from now I as I just looked on the tin and he should be having 5. Thank for telling us. :hug:

Good evening eveyone :)

Hope everyone had a good day today. I just did laundry & grocery shopping. Now I'm just watching relaxing waiting for hubby to come home so we can have dinner.

Mary- I have just recently increased Jonathan's formula up to 150mls, instead of 125mls. He is doing great. I still feed him every four hours, his last feed is at 12am, then he will have one when he wakes up which is around 7 or 8 but i give it to him at 8, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm & 12am & so on. He doesn't wake up at all during the nite. So I'm really happy about that & the feed. I can't believe he is 3 months already. How is gorgeous Izzy going? Which church you going to for the communion?

Belle- they are such goregous photos of ur girls how cute :)

Missy.. oh glad Callum had a great time! Love the photos! If hes happy drinking the 200mls and only 4 bottles, and if thats right for his birth weight, then i wouldnt worry too much. Whats on the tins is only really a guildline. It says Keira should be drinking 200mls x 5 feeds.. and shes only having roughtly 150mls each.. if that. But she aint starving.. the little porker! ;)

Oh forgot to tell those who use grobags.. i think was it Mez saying Izzy's hands were getting cold? Or was it Beth's hands Pixie? Ive been putting baby socks on Keira's hands to stop them getting cold as it does still get cool of a night here. I forgot to mension it befor ewhen you were talking about it, we did that for Jesse too.

Ok just bathed the miss, fed her and shes in bed.. so think i might go too.

Night night all
xx

Anastasia had a great day thanks

Kell yes im not to worried as he is putting on the weight. If he wasnt putting on weight id be worried but he is. Oh YOur little one is a porker and I wouldnt worry if she is only having 150mls. Im sure the thinken formular fills them up quicker. Liam has started leaving some too so some times its 200 other times 150/170. Does your bottles go to 220 when you put the formular in the water..mine does???
