Hi all

Tan that is soo cute of J - hope he is feeling better. I don't usually take the kids to hospital - usually docs if the temp is consistently above 38.5 - like, you give panadol, brings it down, then it shoots back up - then I'll go to the docs first to see if anything obvious is wrong - ie, ear infection! - and then see how they go.

Is he any better? He's just trying to get sick cos he knows we're coming to visit

Kel that is such a gorgeous outfit - she's such a gorgeous girl

Anastasia - we wake Miss M at 10pm for her last feed and she'll wake up around 4am for a chat, then puts herself back to sleep till around 6/6.30.

Hi sweetpea

Well gotta go - busy at work.

Hope ya'll are having a good day now.

[Jewel]

Afternoon.

HAPPY FIVE MONTHS TO MY BUBBABLUE!


Tan - I hope Jayden is better today.

Kell - That's a cute outfit! Hope the kiddies are good today while you're out and you have a great time with Kristy!

Pixie - Have fun at your MG christmas party! I bet your hair looks great. Nothing like a new haircut or something to make you feel better.

Tasia - We usually give Haydie his last bottle at 8:30 - 9. He sometimes falls asleep while drinking it, other times not.. but he drifts off eventually on his own. No, I don't wake him up during the day either. He doesn't sleep that long anyways.

Feeb, Mel, SW, Missy, Sweetpea, Zee, Belle, Mez, Bear and anyone else I might have accidently missed.

DS1 is kinda annoying me today. Not much else going on. Lol.

HAPPY 5 MONTHS TO HAYDEN!!! wooot!!!

[Anastasia]

Tenny- HAPPY 5 MONTHS BUBBABLUE
Thanx sweety. I will try the 8pm & see how it goes.

Mel- When i rang the 24 hr line, the nurse said to me that to never wake the baby it the baby is sleeping at night. Cause i used to give Jonathan his last bottle at 12am & he would be sleeping before that & I would wake him up to have his bottle. I just really should have left him sleep all the way through. Anyway I will give him his last bottle & take it from there.

[Arimeh]

Anastasia - thats fair enough - we never used to wake her either - but now that she is taking longer between feeds -she doesn't get all her bottles in for the day - so if we don't wake her -she goes down to 4 bottles for the day - and I don't think thats enough for her.. she'll start dropping weight cos she already is a small gainer.

[Anastasia]

Mel- Yeah that's cool. The last thing u want his for her to loose weight. She's is so gorgeous

[Missy]

Hi all

Well first off:::::::::::

HAPPY 5 MONTHS BUBBABLUE!!!

I have done all my Christmas shopping...wooohoo just have to get 2 x children tickets for my friends girls then that is it for me. Thanks god

Tannis love the photos of DD in the pool. She is so sweet. Just love them. Awww I hope DS is much better now. Oh and I think I need to say sorry to your DH if his name is Chris. I some how have him on msn and was trying to talk to him today but didnt have a clue who the hell he was. Its just clicked as he asked me if I knew Tania..I said no...lol Didnt think. I asked him if he wwas the chris that took me out to dinner. I had a friend that took me out to dinner before me and matt met and hadnt seen him in heaps and thought it was him. So please say sorry.

Would love to see some more photo Arimeh.

hey Feeb hope you had fun at your xmas party and woohoo on the shopping. Im doing very well hun just tired.

Kell im so happy you have settled down but I think you needed to say some thing. Awwww keira is just so so cute. Just love it.

Tenny Liam loves apples. I give that to him for lunch. Oh I tried him on Potato's tonight and he didnt really like them. Was gagging...lol..

Did anyone see on the news I think it was(mum was telling me) that they are saying you should now start babies now at 4 months. They said they have now found reason to start early. Just wondering if anyone esle had seen it. I didnt but mum was telling me.

Anastasia, Sw, sweetpie, zee. pix. and everyone else. sorry if ive missed you

[Tannis]

HAPPY 5mths HAYDEN!!!

Pix: Hope next week is better for you. Did you get your xmas shopping done? How was the MG xmas party?

Tasia: I give Ashlea dream feeds during the day sometimes, like today she refused to feed so I put her to sleep then fed her. Plus I dream feed at night too and her last one is usually between 10.30pm-1am depending on how late I stay up.

Tenny: How was DS1 for you this arve

Missy: Thanks....I think so but I have to say that LOL. PMSL, Chris asked me if I knew who it would be and I said yeah it would be you but not sure how you were on his msn, he got cut off or had to go cause he was at work or something....he wasn't worried, just didn't know who you were. I didn't see the news, but doesn't surprise me....they are always changing "the rules".

Sweetpea: Hope you can relax soon....Have a great xmas!

Mel: Yeah I thought in the end it would be pointless taking him up, we'd get seen pretty much straight away but what would they do that I couldn't do myself at home??

Jayden's temp was better today but still above normal, also kept saying his mouth hurt so I assumed a sore throat and he wouldn't eat. I asked if he wanted to see the Dr and he said yes but I left it then he asked later if we can go see the Dr so I booked him in. In the waiting room he kept saying ...See Dr now, its my turn....Come on mum see Dr now! In the end diagnoses is hand foot and mouth! One of the day care kids had it earlier in the week but Jayden doesn't go on the same days as her but we did see her at the xmas party on Sunday, hopefully he will be right by xmas day. No treatment other than Dymadon and Nurofen for the fever.
I have expressed a grand total of 60ml for Ash for tomorrow night How much are babies drinking now? I'm hoping to get 2 x 150ml but will that be enough? I'll be gone from 5pm until probably midnight so I'm thinking 2 bottles but just not sure how much, I'll be on a boat most if the night so not like I can leave early or sneak out. They decided not to make it a day thing as well thank god!!

OH and I am so excited cause...............

MELLIES COMING TO VISIT ME, MELLIES COMING TO VISIT ME!!! Can't wait for you to come up Mel. Its the 2nd you get here right? Ooo I'll have to plan something good for us!

[ShootingStar]

Morning!

Tan.. Oh poor Jayden. Jesse had hand foot & mouth a few months back. Poor pet. Hope he heals quickly. Yay for you and Mel!!! Wish we could all do a massive meet up one day.. hmmm maybe when i win lotto!

Missy.. yay for finish your Christmas shopping! Its a great feeling hey. Oh really.. well there you go.. lol see they change it every bloody year!

HAPPY 5 MONTHS HAYDEN!! Little spunky monkey!!

Tenny.. hope Elijah is in a better mood for you today!

Tasia.. during the day yes.. if Keiras sleeping too far into her next bottle feed i will wake her for it. But usually her feeds are, give or take, 7am, 11am, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm. The last one is more of a dream feed as shes usually always asleep from about 7.30pm. Once she starts solids i will cut out a bottle and make her last one around 8pm.

Pixie.. hope you had a good mums group christmas party. OH! I had a dream the night before last that you and i met up for coffee and Beth was crawling on like all 4's.. like standing on her feet but also using her hands. And then she stood up and started walking! We were both shocked at her doing it at 4 months old That was it.

Had a nice day with Kristy yesterday. Bought all of Jesse's clothes and a new pair of shoes for pre-school. Kmart have 40% off all clothes and shoes until Sunday!! Bargins!!
Last day of swimming before Christmas today.
Then we're off to get DH's Christmas present which is a new monitor for his computer and a new booster seat for Jesse so that Keira can go from the capsule into his car seat.

Have a lovely day all.

[thepixie]

Hey folks, just a quick pop-in to say had a fantastic time at the Mothers Group Xmas party yesterday! We are having another get-together today so we can all meet the daddies! Posted some photos here if you want to have a look..... BBL for personals to all!

[thepixie]

OK Beth's asleep so time for quick personals
Kel - what a cool dream! LOL!
Tenny HAPPY FIVE MONTHS HAYDEN!!
Tan - love ya babe, thanks for the card you're such a gorgeous family! Party was great and almost all the Xmas shopping is done - just need to get something for the ILs.... Hope J is feeling better and you can express enough for Ash to get through the party!
Missy - did you find out where your mum saw that about the solids? Would be interested to see why they have changed the recommendations again!
Tasia has J always woken up at that time or is it a new thing? We have had some weird wake up times this week, I am hoping it is just cause DD has a bit of a cold.... cause before that we were going consistently from 9.30 to 7am.
Melski - mwah
big to Mez, feeb, Belle, Zee and everyone else!

[Anastasia]

Good morning ladies & Bear

Well we had a wierd night last night. I gave Jonathan his last bottle at 8.00pm, then I put him in his cot he fell asleep straight away, but decided to get up at 12.11am. So I got up & gave him his bottle, went back to sleep again. He then woke up at 2.00am, I got him up cuddled him, changed his nappy, put bonjela on him, & he was still crying I went back to mu room in bed he was still crying, I then got up put his dummy back in his mouth, he then fell asleep after a few min talking to himself. He then got up at 6.30am. Hubby suggested that i should give him his last bottle at 11am. But after he has his 8.00pm bottle he falls asleep half an hour later & i really don't want to wake him up.

Pixie- What do u mean has he always woken at that time? Which time would that be?
I hope Beth gets better soon The bubbas look gorgeous. Glad u had a great time at the MG xmas party. Have a great day 2d as well meeting all the dads

Kel- That is great that u had a great day with Kristy. You must've got all excited that u got Jess's school uniform how cute.

Tan- I'm glad Jayden's a little bit better. I hope u & Mel have a great time catching u

[Arimeh]

:MELLIES COMING TO VISIT ME, MELLIES COMING TO VISIT ME!!! Can't wait for you to come up Mel. Its the 2nd you get here right? Ooo I'll have to plan something good for us!

Yeah its the 2nd. We get to HB on the 1st - then we'll leave on the morning of the 2nd - check in isn't until 2pm - so don't know exact plans for the day - but we have booked accommodation so we are definitely coming. So dunno if you want to do something on the friday night - or saturday - or both?

Oh - and Miss m is drinking about 150mls - 200mls now - but has been off her bottles lately so has only been drinking 100mls at most.

hehe

Anastasia - sorry you had a bit of a rough night!!!!! Hope tonight is better.

Pixie chick - *mwah* straight back atcha

Kel - no dreams about me?? awww guess I'm not loved enough hehehehe yay for 40% off - bargains!!!!!

Hello to everyone else.

Going to my brother & SIL's place tonight - going to babysit their 3 kids while they go to a xmas party. So that should be interesting!!!! So won't be online till tomorrow cos we are staying there overnight (yayyy a sleepover!!)

[Jewel]

Good morning.

Thanks for the 5month wishes.

Tasia - Good luck with trying to get Jonathan to sleep longer. It might take a few days to get into the routine? I'm not sure really. Sorry I can't help anymore.

Kell - Was Jesse excited when you were picking clothes for him for preschool next year? We got DS1's school uniform this week and he was so excited to try it all on. He looked so much more grown up. It's like a happy and sad moment all rolled into one.

Mel - I hope you have a great time tonight with the babysitting and sleepover and everyone behaves.

Tan - Poor Jayden. I hope he gets over it super fast. I can't believe he was asking about going to the doctors like that, he must have been feeling really awful.
Elijah was a little ratbag yesterday afternoon. It got worse when my mum and sister came around. I really don't know what's going on with him and his awful attitude. Today seems to be starting better then yesterday but I still see that gross attitude coming through in his comments.

Pix - Those are great photos! Does one of the bubbas have a santa suit outfit on? So adorableeeeeeee!

Missy - No, I didn't hear or see anything about it. That's interesting. Did you mum say anything about why they're recommending that now?

Haydie is drinking usually 200ml. Sometimes 210ml/220ml. He's a porky so :P

My poor Bubbablue is sleep asleep now cause he had such a rough night last night.
He's got a really running nose and stuff. It seems different then a cold so could it be related to teething???
I did search online and read something about it, but I don't know. Elijah was such a good teether we didn't have anything like this going on.

You ladies were talking about bubba shoes at Best & Less.. Do they have cute boy ones?

OoOohhhhh I think I hear a bubba waking up.

[Missy]

Just quick

callum sick again

Dont know where mum saw about solids will asks her

bbl

[Missy]

Hey Tania

Just popping in to say I love the xmas card. Its beautiful. Fab hun. Thanks for sending me one.

:P

[Jewel]

A little bit of a vent here I guess..

I'm so sick and tired of my own grandmother thinking she can just make these mean uncalled for comments here and there. They're comments that are to do with me as a mother and my boys. It doesn't help the fact that I feel like I'll never be 'good' enough as a mother in her eyes to raise children. (I've talked to my mum about it and she was treated practically the same by my grandmother when I was little.)
So I was with my twin sister and we picked up Elijah and went to Nan's place so Alana could say goodbye, merry christmas and stuff to her as she's going overseas for 6wks.
We get there and she's like "Where's the baby?" I'm like "He's at home with DP." then she goes "How cruel!" in this mean voice. Like I'm the worst mother ever. I was proud of myself for snapping back with "He's not very well!"
It didn't help that she had someone there visiting her at the same time, so it made me feel even worse and degraded in front of them.

I know I shouldn't let it get me down but come on after a while it just wears me down and I'm trying harder to be a stronger person but it's really hard work.
So basically...
I can't even leave the house without both my kids now?
I can't even leave my child(ren) with their FATHER?

Why does she treat me like this?? What the hell have I ever done??


I'm sorry. I really needed to get it out.
