Babies Born July 2007 #19

Back again! I should be cleaning while Oliver is asleep but instead I'm on the internet, again!!!

Well, I learnt something today and um, I feel a little silly! After 9 years of being a mother I have finally learnt what 'cross cutting teeth' means, exactly what's happening to Oliver, getting teeth in another order instead of the way they normally come through. ie first bottom two then top two is the usual order.

Took him to the doctors and he actually has a virus. His temp was 38.9 and Dr said teething wouldn't make it go that high. He also has a red throat and a slight rash on his tummy. Oh, and the doctor noticed a second tooth just under the gum, a bottom one this time. Just have to keep giving panadol or similar but as panadol is so disgusting I'm going to get him some nurofen or might even try the new Dymadon one.

Anyways, I'm off again.

Wow so much to catch up on.

I just thought I'd quickly pop in to tell my good news, we will have our new car my the 17th (hopefully), I'm so excited. And my revised personalised plates should be arriving soon as well.

Olimoo, sorry to hear about Oliver's virus. Hopefully he will get better soon.

BBL after I make some phone calls.

Hi,

Just a quick post now will be back later for proper personals

Mel, what car are u getting?

[Meluchja]

Hey Jas, a Toyota Kluger, Black one. Can't wait!! Have you seen the new Sunset design number plates? They are the ones I'm getting. Very nice, purple, pink, orange and black design. I feel like a kid in a lolli shop waiting.

Mel, oh cool how exciting! No haven't seen them but they sound nice!

How are you finding the doula course? I am going to start the optimum birth course this week and I'm really looking forward to it. I am just in love with conception, pregnancy, birth, babies and beyond just find the whole thing amazing and I am really excited about helping women through their journey's. It doesn't even seem like a job does it?! I think I already have a couple of births organised which is very exciting!

[Meluchja]

Oh yey Jas, another to share the Doula world with. You will love it, and make a great Doula. Oh that's great news, I didn't even know you were interested. I'm currently in talk with another qualified Doula about being back up Doulas for each other, maybe we could make it a trio!!! Anyway, congrats and I can't wait to share things with you. We definately have to meet up now

[Jas]

Yey I have been thinking about it for a little while now and it has been in the back of my head since I got preg and I have decided to bite the bullet! Thanks, I think you will be a great doula too actually! That sounds great! Yea we will definitely have to me up we're not too far away from each other especially with your parents at vic pt!

Hello all

I am at work so just a quick one to say I miss you all and I wish I could find more time to get on BB - but you all know how it is!!

I am LOVING being back at work and the kids have adjusted really well to not having me around for 5 days every fortnight but I miss them all and has made me into a more balanced "nice" mummy!!

I am going to try and have a read of all that has been going on over ther next couple of days so that I can say a proper hi to everyone!

I have to run and do some work and I also need to go and express as my boobs are about to explode!

Talk to youall soon
take care

Whoops double post!

[Ngala]

Oh boy, what a day its been with Avaleigh whinging. I hope that all this comotion has got something to do with teeth coming through and its not just a terror child!! We've had screams at nearly everything - changing nappies, now dinner time!

ARGH - better go save dad from the tears and try feed her myself again..

Hey everyone,
Just thought I'd pop in after giving up on the ironing. I swear it's not normal for a man to have more clothes to iron than his wife, lol

To my surprise, Jacks first tooth is about t poke through. I really wasn't expecting it for sometime, since Charlize didn't get hers until 12 months. So yey for Jack.

I found out Jacks fav food tonight. Ravioli, he looovvvveeedddd it!! He ate about 12 squares cut up into quaters. Plus his vege cubes. It kind of makes me sad, he is starting to get over spoon feeding and more into feeding himself. Where has my baby gone????

But on a good note, I mentioned to DH the other day about maybe having another one later on, and he said lets see. So yey!! He didn't say are you crazy. Fingers crossed my pregnancy days aren't over yet.

What is fenugreek? Does it boost your supply? I feel like I need to boost mine. Jack has been playing with me, and I think it's because he isn't getting enough. How do you take it? Can anyone help?

Anyway, as some on you might know. My sister is getting married in May. And she is having a Hucks night the week before when is she is down from Mt Isa. Anyway her friend up there has organised a hens night for her. I really really want to go, but I don't know if it's possible. I would have to express 5 bottles for that weekend alone, then another 2 for the hucks night, then another 3 for the wedding. I don't know if I have enough in me for this. I'm hoping this fenugreek will help. If not, what formula do any of you use to suppliment feed?

Sorry for the lack of personals, I'm just so tired.

Sorry.

Morning!

Megan ~ Sorry to hear you are having troubles with bottles still. What size teat are you using? I wonder if he would take more at one time if the flow was faster IYKWIM? Does he like sippy cups? I found when Lucas did go off his bottles it was when I was starting to up his food, as in going from 1or 2 meals a day to 3 regular meals a day. I added formula to what I could, custard, cereal, and even ? a scoop in veggies, with a dash of water and thinkened back up with baby oatmeal. If you do this with pumpkin it turns out like a soup! It is stressful when they wont take their milk I know, and I hope it turns around for you soon. 2months ago Lucas was 7.2kg, I'd say he is either just under or over 9kg now, could well be 10kg I'm not sure.

Well cant stay too long, off to work this morning. The teachers were striking yesterday so I had the day off but back into it today.

Have a great day everyone!
