no doubt bella will start enjoying being on her tummy more and crawling soon!
We all had a good christmas. Had my MIL FIL and BIL down from townsville staying with us.. LOL! i think they were in shock at just how nice it was down here. We had a lovely roast dinner with the oven on all afternoon and night (cooking my pudding & potatoes) we used our kettle bbq we got 4 chrissy for the meats... no aircon going.. it was a lovely 21 deg day or so down here.. bit of a shock for them! Im still cleaning up from christmas, ARGH! what a job!!!
Our latest news is that Im pregnant again! 8 weeks yesterday.. big shock 4 us. praying its a boy this time! Morning sickness.. can't believe im going thru it all again so soon!! (am i nuts? lol)
Alyssa is constantly rolling and turning around on her tummy. She dislikes being on her back, even so that now in the pram still with bassinette attachment she is "pram surfing" (rolling onto her tummy & having a look out) LOL! She is into holding, pulling and scratching anything that makes a noise the kittens included. Ive seen her a few times with her bum up and her knees underneath her but her head & arms are down.. i have never seen a baby get around as much as she does!! Yesterday she had about 3 bottles.. and a massive massive vomit that she rolled around in covering her top & hair.. lol.. hubby is a sympathy vomiter so it wasn't a good idea that he went to investigate why she wasnt sleeping that time.. LOL!
Im trying to keep my supply up and trying to keep feeding her.. working on drinking a ton of water and alyssa is feeding every 2.5hrs until night.. i dont have any problems with the night feeds.. i just wish she would sleep during the day for longer than a hour! She has 1 bottle of formula before bed and is awesome at holding the bottle by herself i just wish she wouldnt stretch my boob like she is holding a bottle (strangely only on the left side?!!)
We tried solids awhile back being rice cereal but she hated it.. went onto carrot & bananna and she loved it but got very constipated so i took her off it.. and will wait till she is 6months and try again... i do give her the odd teething rusk just so her toes, thumbs and toys get a rest from her teeth!! She has stopped biting my nipples, which is awesome! ^^
Hope everyone had a safe christmas!
We have rather quiet plans for NYE, another guest staying for a month or more, thankfully just a friend who needs a change.. Hubby still has few more days left of holidays due to kenworth trucks being shut down during this time (he works at a domed sticker place that mostly supplies kenworth)
So its nice to have him around! ^^
Wishing everyone a safe and happy New year! All the best for 2009!!!
OMG Dust , congratultions on your pregnancy.
I would love another one but Dh isnt so keen , although i must admit at the moment these three have me on my toes.
We had a great christmas and Lachlan got spoilt rotten , but so did the other kids, we seriously need to extend the house to fit all their stuff in.
Lachlan is still growing well and is a big boy weighing in around 9kgs. He is size 0 and some size 1.
He has now decided to start rolling around rather then rolling on to his tummy and crying. Yesterday he spotted a toy on the floor so rolled over to it. He is sitting up now too. My gosh he is growing up so fast. Lachlan loves the cat and dog and will watch them for ages. We have no teeth yet although they are all sitting just under the surface. He is loving his solids and will try and grab what your eating, he also thinks cups are cool he repeatdly grabbed my glass , so now he has his own sippy cup which he has water from. He is still breastfeeding and i doubt he will give up in a hurry, he loves the boob. Lachlan still fights sleeping during the day, which is becoming frustrating as he is tired and will just whinge all day until we force him to sleep. (lol that didnt sound good). This is normally dragging the pram in and rocking him in it which i am doing right now.
Hope u all had a wonderful christmas and a happy and safe new year.
Just a quick note to take my leave. I won't be returning to BB forums. It appears that someone on the forum has passed on some of my private information to my husband's family so I don't feel comfortable posting here anymore. The moderators have been very helpful and kindly removed all of my posts for me.
I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who has been sharing our 'trip' over the last year and offered so much support and advice.
I wish you all the best with your families and your beautiful children.
Jules
