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!
-
Kel- Yep that's me crazy :)
Belle- That's beautiful birth story, well done sweety :)
-
Belle- Yeah I do have face book you can add me to facebook if you like and anyone else to is welcome :)

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 :redface:. oh god imagine if i was to fall PG again :doh: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.
take it easy

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

Morning all!
Just thought id check in while Keira is asleep and Jesse's watching Dora.
Had another ok night. DH fed Keira at 11 put her straight to bed and she fell asleep no dramas woo! Then woke at 3.10am had a bottle had a few little issues until 4.30am but was asleep by then and woke at 7.10am along with jesse. Seems like the times for her to wake now 3.10am and 7.10am. But thats pretty good.. least its really just 1 get up in the night for me (other than Jesse's but hes straight back to sleep after i tuck him in).
Kristy.. have a nice day with your boys! Tomorrow was thinking about maybe Rouse Hill? Least its big and lots of room there for prams. Have pmed you on msn. Let me know if thats good for you.
Feeb.. oh it sux when they do that hey. Jesse use to scream alot during car trips. Makes it frustraiting to drive hey. You poor pet.
Well i best get dressed and go hang out the washing.
-
Kristy - Your photos are awesome. I love the one of you and the boys together.
Tasia - Lol. So excited to get AF. I'm hoping mine stays away for a while. Haha. You guys are eager. Wow!!!
Mez - They don't do the mothers group thing here either, I don't think. I think it's a great idea. I could have learnt so much from a group like that when I had Elijah.
Feeb - I hope Jacob starts liking the car. Hayden likes the car mostly unless we're going somewhere and he's hungry or grumpy, then he cries or whinges. Poor Elijah tries his hardest to distract Hayden and stop him crying sometimes but ends up real frustrated.
Going to check out Belle's birth story & pics. Yay!
Have a great day!!
I've decided thursdays are my sleep catchin' up days, just as long as Hayden sleeps too. Lol.
How sad having to plan when to catch a few extra zZzz.
hahahaha

Kristy loved your photos - especially the bath one - PMSL!
Belle great birth story hun :hug:
Mel and Kel - sorry to hear your having pain... bummer
Kel our DD is really good too - as long as we time the feeds right. Last night she fed at 11, then again at 3.30 and then woke us up at 7. She is usually great about going to sleep but she gets hiccups ALL the time. sometimes she hasn't even been eating. I will just pop her down in her rocker and pop - hiccups. It's quite funny but the poor little thing they shake her whole body. She is really patient with them though, she doesn't cry.
Feeb - hope jacob settles down for you soon babe.
Tasia - I really can't believe that you are thinking about another one already!!!!!
I should probably sign up for a mother's group but haven't got round to it yet. I am sure they must have some but I will ask at the Early Childhood Centre sometime.
The Bear has posted some new photos to our album at Beth
:hello: to all, have a great day!

Morning all,
Thought I'd quickly jump on while Isabel is finally asleep. Well we had a horror middle of the night feed (3am). Mel now that you told me what reflux is I think she has that cause she was kicking her legs and arching her back and not taking the bottle at all and just screaming this morning. I had to ring the helpline and she suggested it was heartburn too. So we had to give her a bath and then massage her tummy with olive oil didn't get back to sleep until 5am...:( it seems to only be the early morning feed that she does it though. This morning at 8am she was just fine feed well Oh I don't know it's just so hard being a mum.
Tenny - I hope you get a few extra z's today, I think I might too after our hard night.
Feeb - I too hate when Isabel is crying in the car I pretty much get DH to pull over and I get in the back seat to calm her down.
Kristy - Love your new pics sweet your boys are just gorgeous!
Belle - I'll go and read your birth story now hun and check out your pics.
Tasia - You are mad trying for another one so soon, but all to ya! I'm struggling with our little one and can't imagine getting pg now and expecting another in 9 months time.. Maybe mid nxt year for us to try again.
Mel - No pains here in my belly, just when I need to go to the toilet for number 2s the pain is worse than when I had labour pains.

Good afternoon all :)
I had a good sleep, I gave Jonathan his last bottle at 12am which I will be doing every night see how I go, he then cried at 3.50am for another bottle wrapped him up put him down & then he got up at 7.30am, so it was good. He's now sleeping we are going to go go & see a friend but scared to drive cause haven't driven in 6 weeks, & also scared because I will bedriving for the first time with Jonathan in the car. Everytime my hubby drives I always go in the back seat to be with Jonathan but I won't do it for too long though.
Mary- Poor little bubba how is Izzy? It's not hard being a mum u are just learning everyday as u go & ur doing a fantastic job sweety :hug:
Pixie- Yep we are thinking of another one, if you think about it right, say January If I fall pregnant the baby won't be born till October 2009. And Jonathan will be 1 year & 3 months & he will be off formula & I want them close together, it will be good, & who's to say I will get pregnant straight away it might take ages for me to get pregnant who knows. See how we go :)
Tenny- I am excited that my AF has come back but not the pain, which is not bad considering my peroid pain used to be worse back then but now it might just get use to it coming back & then later it might get worse, so I take Ponstan tablets they help.
Feeb- Yep I'm crazy lol.
Kristy- I'm not even thinking about control crying, I was just wanting to know how u guys were handling ur babies crying. To control crying Jonathan won't happen till waaaaaaay later. Jonathan doesn't cry much only when he doesn't see me or he wants attention.

Hiall
Kell love the new av hun. Cant wait to have mine changed
Well not doing personals again. Just thought Id pop in and say hi and let you all know that I took Liam to the clinic today and he is now 4kg. Little piggy. He is doing really well. He only wakes once during the night now, usually around 3-4 and then at 7 or 8 so giving mummy lots of sleep. DH will feed him his last between 10-11 as he is still up. He has abit of a cough but not giving him any problems feeding or sleeping. Wind is ok as well and over all very happy with him. He is drinking about 120mls-150mls. Is anyones elses bubba drinking as much or more. The only thing im worried about is he hasnt been startled with noise. Ive tried to startle him so I know all is ok with his hearing. Anyone else noticed there baby not startled??? It I cant get him to startle (sounds horrible I know) then Ill go to the gp.
Ironing, oh no I iron as I need. Also for those amazed at me going back to work, Im only going back 2 days a week and for those who dont know I manage a video shop so I can sit and watch DVD's if I get tired. Its a pretty easy going job.
Ok well better go
Oh Kristy love the photos hun/. Your boys are beautiful.
hi everyone:p
Take care and bbl

Just quickly popping in to let you all know I am alive!
We have had feeding issues (have posted in the breastfeeding support sect if you want to read up). All was going well until Tues night and Ashlea wouldn't attach again. I know it doesn't hurt her to be bottle fed but being the last baby I really want to do it as long as I can. Chris hasn't been too supportive with my decision but I have learnt to ignore him and his opinion and he has gotten a little better the past few days.....I think he has anyway, I haven't been paying much attention to him oops!
I have looked at all the new photos of the babies and all are just so precious!!! Tasia GL with TTC....crazy but good on you for jumping straight back in there haha
Missy Did Liam get a hearing test in hospital? Ashlea gets startled, maybe Liam is just a sound sleeper?? Best to get it checked to be on the safe side.
Thursday is turning in to my shopping day as Jayden is at daycare, I was meant to be home by 1pm but was with SIL#3 and I attemped to feed Ashlea while we were out (ended in a bottle). My next appt with the LC wasn't going to be until 29/08 as everything was going great but I called this morning to see if I could get in tomorrow, luckily there was an appt left so I grabbed it....Hopefully she can wave her magic wand and make it work!
:hello: to everyone

:hello: Everyone. Sorry I've been MIA lately but just coming to terms with being a mum. Ava's doing really well, she's a great sleeper and eater, though I'm struggling with the disappointment of not breastfeeding and have been posting alot in the BF forums. We give her a feed at around 10pm, she wakes at 4am for another feed, quick change and cuddle (I'm back in bed by 5) and then she usually stays asleep till a little before 8 (tho she slept through to 9 this morning), when its DH turn to feed her and I get a little bit more sleep.
She only crys when she's hungry and grumps a bit when she fights sleep, but I find she likes a cuddle and she's asleep in 15 mins!!!
Glad to read that everyone is doing weel and all the babies are putting on weight. Will try and get on later for some personals.
BTW - those who have had a c-section - is your stomach above your scar super sensitive??? I can barely stand to feel my underwear against it it's so sensitive!

Hi Tannis
Yes he did have his hearing test in hospital and all was ok. Im starting to get scared as ive tried a few times today but nothing. I hope he is only a heavy sleeper but I tried it when he was awake too but nothing. Ill see how I go tomorrow but if nothing will make an appointment at the gp. Im sorry your having BF hassels hun. I really hope things work out but hey if not dont knock yourself up about it. After all it all comes down to what is best for bubs. :hug:
Oh pink same with you hun, dont beat yourself up.:hug: Wow good little sleeper. Liam is the same. He sleeps well. Im so glad. He is so much easier then Melissa or Callum were. Third time lucky.
Well all hope the rest of you are not on as you are getting some sleep
Take care all

Oh and its natural for your c-sec scar to be numb kristy. Mine is and has aways been that way after my first one. Its evern worse now but you know what I hate touching it. Its like a numb when you go to the dentist. That kind of numbing. Is yours like that???
-
Tannis- Thanx for ur support :)
Pink- Mine was to sensitive but it's ok now, just the scar is dark pink is that normal?
-
Missy: hope you can get an appt, it's so hard here to get an appt same day. Thanks, I know Ashlea's well being comes first, still really frustrating though as things were going good.
Pink: big :hug: for you, you do what you want to do Hun, PM me if you need to chat or vent, we are both in very similar situations including our other halves attitudes. It's definitely harder first time around, I was lucky to have SIL's that were a great support with BF'ing.
I have no idea what is going on with Ashlea... I attempted to feed her at 8pm and after a few goes she attached and fed then refused the other side, I let her sleep and I expressed. 9pm I tried again and she eventually fed off the other side. Still have my appt tomorrow so just have to wait. As soon as this is all sorted I promise I'll be back more often.
