hi all,

Taz: Lochie has finally gone, we had tried the sugar thing twice and it didnt budge, so back to coloxyl drops and bang yeseterday he went with a vegence, the poor mite screamed and screamed and then it was like relief and a nappy to knock your socks off.
He isreally unsettled today, just had some infants friend, did a big burp and several bottom rumblers and has fallen asleep in my arms, problem is he will wake as soon as i put him down.

Congrats on Bondys new job.

Naomi: thats great that Bella is doing so well.

Welcome Elle

What is a dreamfeed?

I think when bubs is sleeping and feeding at the same time, my little fella can't seem to get this down, he wakes up too much!

Hi again

So, we still haven't heard any more about Bondy's job but hey, this week should bring a heap of good news!

Tan - glad that Lachie finally went! WOO HOO! I know what you mean about the nappies though - when Jess finally went it was a horrid one... never thought I would be so happy to have a pooey nappy!

Naomi - that's great that Bella is growing so well. Fingers crossed that when Darren has done his stint he gets out too. Not sure about you, but I could see the army sucking all life and enthusiasm out of Bondy!

Sheree - yep, will definately drop in for a visit if we end up down that way!

Jules - dream feeding is what I got told when I was pregnant to encourage the baby to do. But, I couldn't do it (apart from the fact that Jess wouldn't attach anyway!)... the baby sleeps in bed with you and is permanately attached to you so whenever bub is hungry it doesn't have to cry or anything...just suck.

Jess is going great guns. She's full of smiles and coos which I'm still loving. She is great at chucking temper tanties when things aren't going her way (which is usually revolved around me not having the bottle ready NOW when she decides she's hungry!). Bondy's twisted around her little finger. She spun us out on Friday by rolling from her tummy to her back. She did it once, and Bondy saw it and I told him that a baby of not-even-6-weeks shouldn't be able to do that, so I put her on her tummy again and saw it for myself! I'm so proud!

I went out last night with a girlfriend of mine for dinner, drinking and dancing (this bottle feeding has another advantage - I can drink again! LOL) and Bondy stayed home and looked after Jess. They apparently watched Rambo 4 which I think was far more exciting for Bondy than it was for Jess! Bondy has informed me that next time I go out they're going to watch ALL of the Rambo movies - oh, what fun!

Anyway, gotta head off and get stuff done around the house. Hope you're all having a great weekend.

Talk soon.

Taz xoxo

Taz - I am so jealous!! Instead of drinking I am working... And with a head cold.

If you know anyone who can shoot, send them my way - I figure I deserve a bullet to put me out of my misery.

Oh and Darren and the credit card have become to friendly with each other. I thought it was the womans job to shop and spend... I am at work and I get calls telling me what he and the children have just purchased and I roll my eyes toward the heavens and pray to whatever god is out there listening that his credit card will explode into a gazillion pieces so that he can not buy any more crap for a house that has no room left.

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick post inbetween housework and Kindy pick ups.
Lachlan is going great guns, Stewart is working stupid hours at work and is never home . which is driving me insane as i am having to do everything on my own.

Lachlan is starting to get into a habit of feeding around 8pm then going down till 5 in the morning, although he does try and sneak in extra feeds during the day to make up for it. Yesterday i left him at home with Stewart for a few hours, he had a bottle of ebm and gulped it down. But i think he was still hungry and missed his catch up feed so last night he woke at 2 am for a feed. ah well we will get there. He is growing like crazy though .

well take care all i am going to use the peice and quiet to get a few things one while Lachlan is asleep

Hi all,

Hope everyone is going well and bubs are sleeping well.

Poor Reaghan and I have both had the flue, she still is not sleeping well and still wont sleep in her bassinet, it worked for a week and that was it. Day times are getting hard as to get her to sleep I have to bounce her in the bouncer and when I stop she wakes up so cant leave her. Going to try some tuff love soon as trying the peacefull ways are not working.

She is getting better today and we are having or 6 week checkup on Thursday will be interesting to see what she weighs and how much she has grown.

Hey everybody,
Just a quick post before Riley wants his bottle (so know what you mean about the temper tantie when the bottle isn't delivered promptly Taznbondy!!) The little man is going so well, full of smiles. I dont know about everyone else but I could sit there all day pulling silly faces just to see those beautiful smiles!
Went for our check up with the community nurse, told her that Riley seems to be getting alot of wind and she told me that all the signs of wind can also be signs of being over tired and that he needs to be sleeping more. Problem is he sleeps for a little while then wakes up crying and pulling his little legs up, im pretty sure thats wind!!! Anyway i have put him on infacol drops and it seems to be helping, he is now sleeping a lot better and getting into a better feed play sleep routine during the day which is always nice!
Tan, glad Lochie is feeling better, its so horrible to see them in pain and not be able to do anything for them.
Sweetpea, think im getting the flu too so I know how you feel, just hope i dont pass it onto bubby. Hope your little one starts sleeping better for you.
Anyway take care all, hope everyone gets plenty of sleep!!
