Kell - No I haven't tried the colic relief, today I bought Gripe Water and going to try that but I really don't know if she has colic or if it's reflux? She is asleep at the moment so that's good. I gave her 10mls of warm water this morning which seemed to work. My MG was organised by my MHCH for first time mums.
Belle - Isabel has the dummy when she is crying heaps it helps settle her, whatever helps me I'm happy to do. But like Tara she doesn't always take it only when she is in the mood for it. I do believe that they will tell us about how to settle your bubs in one of our session which will be great. Can't wait I'm looking forward to making new friends as most of my friends have kids that are much older.
hey Tasia - that sounds good Tara drank about 100mls when I was express feeding her every 3-4 hours sometimes bit less. OMG you got your period. already? darn it LOL Im not looking forward to that.
Mez - yeah im looking forward to new Mothers Group too!
Kell - hiya mate, gotta love the no ironing lol!!! how are Jesse and Keira tonight?
Pixie - sounds great! I love going out and catching up for coffee!
Girls I put Tara's birth story in the birth story section if you are interested and I uploaded some more pics in Tara's album.
Have a good night, im going to bed now...so tired.
Anastasia - at least if you have your period now you can start planning on conceiving number 2 bub
Belle - out every morning?! Geez you guys must be busy down there - no wonder you are tired!!!! Take it easy honey.... and just think - since most of our babies seem to be clingy - lucky we had them in winter - they keep us all warm... lol... and yeah, I thought they went through their first growth spurt at 3 weeks too... she didn't sleep much this afternoon, has just cat napped and stuff... so soon I'll go to bed (9.30 for this mumma) and DH can do the last feed and bring her down to the room, and then I hope I won't feel so stuffed when she wakes up in the early hours!!!!!!
Mez - I think with reflux they pull off their bottle/breast when feeding, and arch their backs and scream and stuff... colic is their wind usually after the feed and pulling their legs up to their chest - thats what I've read about each of them anyways.. I was going to try the gripe water, but colic relief was cheaper - and it works which is great!!!!! I think its fab that you guys get set up with a mothers group - they don't do things like that up here - didn't have a mothers group for DS and don't for DD - but what do I need one for - I have you guys - you're all my mothers group.. lol
Kel - pmsl @ the iron comment - OMG.. that is sooo like me.. lol...
Pixie - don't forget to be careful about which nappy creams you use on the MCN's when you start using them - can't use normal creams on them cos they'll stuff up the absorbency.. Glad you guys are having such a good time with your little one..
Ah well time for a cuppa and then prepare for bed I guess....
Oh - c-section ladies - anyone else having any belly pain? I've got bad burning belly pain, but not near my scar.... I'm guessing its nerves reattaching - yay... the fun continues... but at least my pelvis is getting better.. there is a silver lining.. lol
Mel.. i got some bad belly pains yesterday. Not sure if theyre the same as yours but they were kinds all over my belly. DH said maybe the uterus contracting/shrinking? Was kinda weird.
Belle.. will check out your pics in a sec. Both are good so far and asleep yay
Anastasia.. yay for AF.. not! lol you trying already? yep you crazy lady!
Mez.. yeh our hospital does a similar thing for first time mums. Though i wasnt told about it until too late with Jesse.. although i was still in agony for a few months after his birth so prob wouldnt have gone anyway. Hope the gripe water works hun. Does she pull her legs up whens shes crying? That can be a sign that its colic. Hope tomorrows a better day.
Still yet to feed Keira her 10.30pmish bottle so will see if the wicked witch rears her head once again after that feed!
well i'm back. this is amazing i have another quiet moment so thought i would pop back on. Dh is at poker tonight and mum came for dinner but left a few mins ago and the kids are asleep.
the twins would usually sleep now till 2am but i think i will wake them at about 11.30-12ish and feed hopefully they will then sleep till morning. its a school day for isaac tomorrow and DH has the day off so i'm going to sleep in while DH drops him off and than we have all day to ourselved (well in 4 our intivuls anyway) maybe its time for some nookie. hehe . oh god imagine if i was to fall PG again oh crap and im told if you have faternal twins like we did it is an 80% chance of having more twins. i think i would have to check myself into a mental home.
Anastasia yeh i wouldn't control cry for a few months yet. all you can do is try to train them by getting a good bedtime rutine like say bath - massage - feed - wrap - quick cuddle than into bed, thats what we have been doing. and maybe pat them if they cry. i read that 3-6 months is a about the time to start to control cry. but to be honest the patting method and reassuring method worked better for us with isaac. letting him scream the house down just made everyone stressed. besides nightime cuddles is great bonding time. i just wish i had the same time for the twins as i did with isaac.
Ayapi i'm glad you enjoyed your mothers group. i went to the one at the hospital and it was good but i got a bit bored with it. i keep thinking i would like to go to another group but don't know if i could be bothered now. their is a new free toddler group every 2nd thursday at the hospital i would love to go to but isaac has school that day. i might call the mba (multibul births of australia) and find a twin one.
mel sorry no pain here. infact i have no feeling in that area at all. about 1-2 inch above and below my scar has absolutly no feeling. been meaning to get checked out but been to buisy. it's not bothering me so i'm not worried.
we are having some family pics done at portrate place in a couple of weeks. i got some done for isaac too. not sure what i will wear jeans and a nice top i surpose. i bought a top for it but its a girly style i don't usually wear. i will have to take some sample pics to see what it looks like in a photo, i don't want to look stupid or too fat, i got some tiney overalls for the twins and john and ike can wear jeans too. the photos are so expensive i worked it out at about $400. its a lot of money but you only get one chance at baby pics.
well better go i want to brows the net for nappy companies will need a few more soon.
Hello all, took Jacob up to see my best friend today and her 3 kids (oldest is 3 tomorrow, 18 months and youngest is 6 days older than Jacob) and he screamed hadl the trip there and half back (45 min trip).
The losec is soooooooooooooo hard to give so dont know how much he is getting each time as he spits so much back and coughts and splutters so bad.
Anastasia i wrap jacob after a feed when i want him to settle (he settles in my arms an dthen straight into basinet for short period as he hates sleep) U R crazy wanting to ttc again allready!!!!! But good luck
Belle he is getting wg freauently as he is slow to gain wg.
hope everyone else is good just relaised time better go to bed before he wakes up from his sleep (this is usuall a good 3 hrs) unlike rest of day
. oh god imagine if i was to fall PG again 
oh crap and im told if you have faternal twins like we did it is an 80% chance of having more twins. i think i would have to check myself into a mental home.
