Babies Born July 2007 #22

Jem, it looks unreal. Well done!

Mel, it took me ages to get autie onto a bottle (months really) In the end I think it helped most when I gave it to her when I knew she would be hungry (mid afternoon) instead of a snack. I propped her up on her flip out couch and let her watch Hi-5. Gradually she took more and more, though I suspect my milk was already on the way out by then and she actually needed it.

V, sorry to hear Avaleigh is still not feeling the best. Get some garlic into her! Must be nice to have time off and get back to her, even if she's not 100%.

Lis, I have heard that teething affects bottle feeding for some bubs. Maybe some Panadol or teething gel a little bit before would help?

Sarah, sounds like you had busy day. You must be full of energy to take on two more kids!LOL

Raels, thank you. That picture of Oli is super cute. I always love coming across that grin when I'm reading posts! LOL Walking is getting steadier everyday and she can now cross the room. Can't wait til she's park-ready

Well, my news is that this morning I tried Autie on peanut butter and found out she is allergic and had to call an ambulance She broke out in blistery hives on her face and neck straight away and then her eye swelled shut. I was not too panicky because she was breathing ok but thought I'd be better off getting her checked out by paramedics than trying to drive somewhere with her on my own, in case she got worse all of a sudden. So now she has to see an allergy specialist to find out if she will need an Epipen just in case. Apparently it's usually a year waiting list but my doctor got us in in September. So, no more PB in our house - and I love it (had to throw ole wiggly in, I do love him)

That's all I've got.

Naughty naughty - I am meant to be doing paperwork for DH but on BB instead..

Sacha - how scary!! Lucky you are so calm - I would of been a panicking mess. I might hold off on PB for a while here too.. just in case. I love love love your photo of Autie. She is super cute.

Thanks so much for all your replies girls about drinking/sleeping. Very helpful . Isn't it funny how we don't know each other in real life - but I think of you all as my friends and am so excited about all our beautiful bubbas and their birthdays!

OK back tomorrow hopefully for more personals and BIRTHDAY WISHES. I can hear DH coming - better look busy

[XRMummy]

Oh sacha Hope autie is ok..... Man i would have been freaking out BIG time if that was bayleigh Im shocking with all that sort of stuff
Thats good that your Dr got you in to see the specialist heaps earlier. Hope it all goes well

Sacha - your poor little girl, that's really scary, but you sound like you handled it really well. It's great that you've got an appointment in September though.

Mel - thank goodness I'm not the only one who has a breast obsessed child! I haven't been too stressed about it so yet, but am starting to get concerned that I can't even get him to drink sips of water from a cup, so no idea how I'm going to get him weaned off day feeds when I go back to work in October.

Jem - your cupcakes look sensational.

It's great reading what everyone elses sleeping patterns are like, and nice to see that I'm not the only one with a kid that is trying to get down to 1 sleep a day. He succeeded today, although I did optimistically give him 40 odd minutes in his cot during the afternoon, but to no avail. Just chatted & grumbled his way through the experience, till I went in and picked him up again. Still, having him in his room for that time gave me a bit of a break, which I needed, cos I've got another cold/cough thing happening. I'm so fed up with being sick, although on a good note I can't smell any poo whatsoever. To the point where DF picked him up today and nearly died, and I didn't even realise he'd done one

[BhoysGirl]

just coming in for a little woo hoo moment - this week, i've had 2 nights of 8.30 till 5am sleeps, 1 night of 11.30 till 7am sleep, and I've just had 2 1/4 hours uninterrupted morning time!! Very exciting, although I've probably jinxed it all now. And what have I done with the last 2 hours?? Well, nothing - and I've loved every minute of it, cos normally I run around like a bit of a chook. Anyway, my time is up, cos Liam is too

[jemima]

Hi all

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER!


Well poor Charlotte has been in hospital. I took her the the GP yesterday morning as she had a cough and runny nose etc and the Dr said take her straight to the hospital as she is having trouble breathing. So we took her straight away and her HR was 200 plus beats per minute and they couldnt get her temp down from 40 so she was admitted and had a tube stuck up her nose and they tested some of the gunk and she has RSP which stands for respiratory syncitial virus and is going around at the moment. She also has two infected ears. I was hoping to go home today but then they werent going to let her go home as she wasnt eating or drinking but thankfully she decided to have a good bf and some yoghurt so we got home this arvo.

She is still pretty blah but obviously better than yesterday. Poor thing! What a way to spend her birthday. Luckily she was none the wiser.

Well I am off to spend some time with DH who I dont feel like I have seen for the last two days!

Thank you again for all of your birthday wishes and I will pop back in later for a proper read.

Sacha OMG I just qickly saw your post about Autie. How frightening. How is she and how are you?

Take care
Jem

OMG, can you believe our babies are turning 1!!!!!


It's really upsetting & exciting hey!!!!



happy Birthday to all the little kiddies!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrystalBoo]

Big Birthday Cuddles for Oli and Charlotte!

Raels, hope you had a happy day together.

Jem, oh poor Charlotte and you! What a miserable way to spend the day! Glad she is home with you, and all the wishes that she recovers quickly. We are both fine thanks. She has to have some antibiotic eye drops for a few days which I thought would be a nightmare but she is surprisingly good with them. Other than that, all good.

Jan, that's brilliant on the sleeps. it keeps up for you!

Megan, how easy is it to spend in Pumpkin Patch?! I always said I wouldn't waste money on clothes but how can you resist all those gorgeous things? Luckily we have an outlet store here so I can usually get things about half price. How did the shoes go? Autie has already developed a shoe fetish and comes very quickly when I say 'do you want your shoes on?' LOL She has a pair of pink volleys which are great in this chilly weather, and they stay on really well.

Hi to everyone else. Is anyone else having trouble deciding how to dress at night time? Autie refuses blankets big time, and I sleep under a doona so it's hard to judge by what I'm wearing

[Meluchja]

Happy Birthday Charlotte, so glad to hear your starting to feel much better.

and

Happy Birthday Oliver, hope you had a great day.

Sacha, I missed your post and all I can say is OMG, you poor thing, you must of had a big fright, although you sounded like you handled it pretty well. How is she now?
