Oh im first

I have just given Ethan some panadol, i have that yucky cherry one too! Ethan loves it though For those of you who have given panadol. Do you give it before or after a feed? Does it matter really? It was after his feed, and he just seemed to take it a lot better. Ethan is having a play!! at 10.45pm...Its the first time he has really been happy today so i dont mind too much, lol. That explains me being here.

Bec you are my first friend!! (on face book, LOL!) I got excited

Sacha i have only just joined face book, and i agree with bec, of course your still cool!

Any way im going to do some BB reading! While the bath is soaking in CLR! Getting prepared for tomorrow but as soon as ethan goes to sleep im going too!

[Meluchja]

Veronica, looooovvvvvveeeeee the dress, and you're looking fantastic.

Hi everyone

Wow, this thread moves fast.

Well, after a week of not being able to express milk, I woke upt his morning and got nearly 100mls on one session. Yay. Hope it stays that way.

Although Diana has rolled over before, she hasn't done it for what seems like weeks now, so I guess that all bubs are different. She talks a lot though and plays with her toys. It's so cure.

Veronica - your wedding dress looks beautiful.

Hmm, I can't remember what everyone said in the other thread. There was talk about facebook. If anyone wants, you can add me - Zofia Krawczyk-Bernotas. I'm not sure if you need any other info...

Hope you all have a great weekend.

[jemima]

Hello all
hope you are all having a great weekend.

Just a quick one for now -

V - you look fantastic and your dress is beautiful.

BBL to say hi again. We only have two children today and tonight as Oliver is going to MIL and FIL for the day and a sleep over.

Take care and enjoy the weekend
Jem

OK girls this is going to be quick - T is in bed and DH is at a bucks day at the races, so i am GOING to clean the house!!
I have put myself on Facebook - dont know if i am doing it right or anything (very bad at computer things!!) - and have no idea how to add people etc, so if anyone wants to add me - Very unflattering photo. I tried to find the July 2007 BB group but nothing come up..

[Meluchja]

Hey Em, I had trouble finding it too. If you look at my profile it should be under groups on the left hand side of the page, I think..... I'm new at it too. I'm getting all these drink requests and don'thave a freggin clue what I'm surpossed to do with them.

Jem, Hope you have a lovely weekend. I was going to say try and rest up without oliver, but it probably wouldn't make much of a difference load wise, hey???? Anyway, hope you have a good one. BTW I finally spoke to Relle, she sounds so busy now, I don't know ow she does it.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you all have great weekends.

[tears_of_joy]

Hi ladies

Hope you have all had a nice start to your weekend

Apart from me and ethan being full of germs, today has been a pretty good day.
The real estate agent rung at lunch time to say he couldn't make it to take the photo's, boy was i relieved i never finished tidying up my house isnt actually messy, i just feel strange having pictures taken of all my things! But im pretty excited about it all as he told us that...Our offer for the new house was accepted YAY YAY YAY! Still alot to organise before we can say the house is ours though lol. I seen our house on the internet and felt a little sad, i cant wait to move and get a new home but i dont know, its like i dont want anyone else to live here lol weird huh?

Any way im off to search the pantry, i've been hungry for something all day and i still dont know what it is!!

[CrystalBoo]

Just a quick selfish one from me tonight - Autumn had a reaction to the needles overnight and has had a temp all day. She tries so hard to be smiley though, just every now and then a little miserable cry comes out Also, regarding when to give Panadol, I know that after a feed is a big mistake for us - she spewed her whole morning feed up when I forced the awful cherry crap on her. The strawberry flavour didn't go down well either so I gave up and have just wet her hair all day and given extra feeds.
And thanks for the reassurance about my cool status guys

[mrscricket]

Poor you Sacha (and Autumn). Tom has reacted terribly to his needles as well, so we have had a very sooky bubba for the past few days. And its hot - he should of been born an Eskimo baby because he hates the heat! I wasnt expecting any reaction because he was fine with his other needles.

Hope everyone else is well. I will catch up with personals very soon xx

[tears_of_joy]

Sacha and Em- Sorry to hear both Autumn and Tom have reacted badly to the needles Ethan was like that when he had his first lot of needles, Ethan has his 4 month ones on Tuesday, if he is better by then otherwise i will wait a few more days.

Em- Ethan hates the heat too but its been forcasted that we will have temperatures around the high 30's again next week Maybe i should get him a little pool for christmas.

Well i am feeling pretty bored at the moment!! Its not very often that i have time for boredom any more lol but ethan is snoozing again and its very quiet, my mum is away for 2 days so i wont have any visitors in the next few days. Plenty of time to catch up on the cleaning and washing again i guess

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend! Alessia is down for the night - the little munchkin slept through her 4:00pm feed so she's only had 4 BFs today! She normally has 5 so thought that it was strange behaviour, but I just read a thread someone posted and the heat may be a contributing factor to her tiredness. Ah well...as long as she's happy. I figured she'd cry/wake up if she's hungry

Apart from that, nothing exciting has been happening over this way. David is going away for a business conference for a few days, so it will be the first time that I've had to look after Alessia TOTALLY by myself...I hope I cope!

[tears_of_joy]

Well im here again Ethan is too! He seems to be a bit better during the day when its warm, so he sleeps better. Now i think because its cool he is all blocked up again. As soon as my mum gets back im going to see if she still has a steam vapouriser thing and i will put that in his room at night. Hopefully after his next feed at 1am he will go off to sleep, i will be able to give him a bit of panadol then.

Hi Fran, Ethan eats less when its warmer too, doesn't sleep any better though as he hates the heat! Alessia will definately let you know when she wants more food.
I looked at your photo's on facebook today, its been ages since i seen pics of Alessia and i have to tell you she is just gorgeous! Very pretty eye's too. Oh and Alessia and ethan have the same play gym! How long will David be away for? You will cope just fine hun, your a wonderful mum. Hope alessia is a good little girl for you

Ok well im going to go and try a massage if ethan wants it, it may help him when he's ready for sleep. Bye!

[Meluchja]

Jessikah, wow I just noticed. Congrats on TTC again. I can't wait until one of you falls pregnant again. Just as long as you stay in this group too, he he he. Yey on the house too, I hope all moves along smoothly for you.

Sacha, sorry to hear Autumn had a bad reaction to her needles, Ihope she is feeling better now.

Fran, I'm sure you'll be fine with DH away. Mine leaves next thursday too, not looking forward to it.

Well ladies, only 4 more night with DH home, then it's just me and the kids for 4 weeks. I try not to think about it, I have no idea how I'm going to do it, if I'm not walking properely by then. I can start to partial weight bear today, so fingers crossed I cope well, and will be back before he goes.

Hope you all having lovely weekends take care.

Hi everyone

Diana had one of her vaccinations yesterday (for some reason they missed one at her 2 month session). So she is now all up-to-date. She was such a brave girl and didn't even cry or anything. I've been diagnosed with PND, which I suppose os a good thing, as I really felt like I was going mad the past few weeks. I have been ordered to take at least 3 days off work, which I am going to do.

Last night Diana and I went out to dinner with my sister and her firends for a girls night. It was quite good to go out, dress up and do something grown-up for a change. Diana was a very good girl, although I expected that she would sleep sometime during the evening, but only managed about half an hour. Oh well, she is still asleep now, so that's good.

Today I woke up with an extremely sore tooth (It was kind of sore yesterday, but I thought it would go away), so I am off to find a doctor or dentist that is open today. Why do these things have to happen on a Sunday?

[Ngala]

Good Morning Everyone!

Zofia - wow at being diagnosed with PND and I really hope you take those 3 days off work and relax! What happens now, do you need to talk to someone or??

YAY to those people TTC!! I cant wait until someone gets pregnant!! How exciting!!

Well Jason and I decided yesterday that we ARE going to the Maldives for our honeymoon. We really want to go there so we are going to go! But then this morning Jason woke up and said that he doesnt think we can go away on holiday. I asked why and he said because he cant leave Avaleigh behind!! Aww how sweet! I told him that I have absolutely NO problem with her coming with us and he said that she probably will! Sooo still thinking about it and trying to get information together.

Avaleigh has a small cold again today. She woke up at 4am with a really stuffy nose. I think its the weather change thats done it to her cause its been rerally warm and now its cold and raining.

Anyway better go have some breaskfast.
