Hi,
Debbie - That is great that you can make changes without medication. I bet you did feel tied to the house so now you should feel alot better, especially with the weather warming up. I know if I don't get out every day I feel cr*p too. And I know what you mean about the AF feeling like contractions, it's horrible isn't it.
Lewis had his injections this morning. He slept for 2 hours afterwards but he's a bit grumpy anyway from his gums so I'm just going to give him panadol today and hopefully by tomorrow he will feel better.
Celsie - Hope it is just a cyst and everything is okay. You know we may all have things like that in our bodies and would never know because we don't have scans, but because he has had a scan your attention is drawn to it. So positive vibes coming your way....
Anyway must be off. I'm looking at buying cookie cutters on ebay in the shape of prams and baby bottles so I can make biscuits for Lewis's christening bonbonieres. It's not til February but I thought I'd have a practice.
I'm also going to make my own xmas cards this year with a photo of Lewis in a santa hat on the front :lol: Thought I should tell you in case anyone else wants to do the same thing! You can buy the blank cards with a hole in the middle to put the photo in from craft shops.
-
Hey girls!!
Celsie - Happy anniversary for the other day - time flies when you're having fun hey!! Thinking of you and your DH :hug: Praying that is simply a cyst and nothing to worry about. xx
MumofLewis - I love the cookie idea! That's so sweet! We too do the christmas card thing and I set a chrissy theme and snap away to get that perfect shot! Its so much fun to mess with the pics in photoshop and then make those precious chrissy cards. Although last year I was in the throws of morning sickness (where has the time gone?!?!) but we still managed to take pics of DD, DH & I with chrissy hats on and then I printed a whole heap off, cut them out, stuck them on folded card and then shaped gold and silver pipe cleaners into bows above the pics so we looked like a present.......hard to picture but it worked, well everyone loved them so that's all that matters! :p I really am looking forward to making chrissy cards this year with my two munchkins! It's going to be so much fun!
Debbie - that's so great that medicine could be avoided and that you were able to take forward steps in giving yourself time! That's so important and I am really am so happy for you!! You're amazing! And :confetti: on AF returning for you!! Woohoo!! Sticky vibes and baby dust all over again!!! Woohoo!!
Jen - have been keeping up with your thread re: Mackenzie and that is so wonderful and great to hear that she is coping with her little sling!! Been thinking of you heaps! So glad you both got some much needed rest! I hope you enjoyed your red! xx
Feathertop - how are you feeling chook?? Hope you're getting better love! Take it easy, well as easy as you can being a wife and mummy ;) Thinking of you lovely! xx
Teepee2 - :lol: on your little one not finding anyone elses 'jewels' - oh that's a crack up!! DD#2 does seem to get her hands in the way though at nappy change time - mostly when there's is a poo spread from here to woop woop!! :rolleyes: I know she has no idea what she is doing but I am forever moving her hands away! Actually, it's DD#1 who sat in the bath the other day and well.......I think she's just wondering what's what.......:redface:
DD#2 is having a slightly restless day today but I think that its because its warm and so she is dressed down and I don't think that she likes her arms completely naked. So have resorted back to wrapping her in a bed sheet and now she's fast asleep.........yay!! But the little munchkin has become much more mobile that I have found her up the top of her cot stuck on her belly as she hasn't quite worked out how to roll from her tummy to her back yet......gave herself a mark on her arm that actually looks like a "love bite" coz she gets her arms stuck underneath her when she rolls onto her tummy so sucks away!! :redface: Am already starting to train DD#1 to keep her toys up off the floor and put them away because before she knows it, her baby sister is going to be into everything!!!!!!!!!! So trying to prepare her for the shock of it all! Lol!!
Actually I was looking at my girls today and I thought oh my goodness how much I love them and how truly adorable and beautiful and cute and precious they are!! Not to mention completely cheeky!! Caught DD#1 peeking out of her door at nap time and I cracked up laughing as she bolted behind the door so as not to be seen!! Found it so funny that I rang DH at work just to tell him!! LOL!
Christmas pageant tomorrow!! Yay!! Not going into the city this year because DH is working, plus it's going to be quite warm so DD#1 & I are going to make a big deal of it at home and get ourselves all set up in the lounge to watch it together.............can hardly believe that 3 years ago, I sat like a beached whale, 40weeks pg urging DD#1 to come out now!! Although, have never missed a year of watching the pageant, whether it be at home or actually being there so I told her that she couldn't come out til after the pageant (if she did try we had to have a tv on at the hospital - that was DH's instructions...lol!!) but then I remember watching the repeat of the pageant later that afternoon and saying to my belly, "It's only a repeat, you can come out now!!" It was a whole week later and we had to kick her out in the end!!! LOL!!!
Can't get over the time whipping by!!
Must dash now that I have typed your eyes off!! LOL!!! Hope you are all having a great day and that you have a fab weekend as well!! Take care! BBL lovlies!
Mwa!!!
-
It just occurred to me that we haven't heard from PrincessMya, Nellnell, MacKusz & Tanz_ava for what seems like forever!! I hope you girls are all doing really really well and are enjoying your bubbies!!
Mwa!!

Hi all, just a quick hello. I'm still ill but improving, on antibiotics and it looks like I'll need another course to get over this bug.
Debbie - glad to hear aobut your drs visit, hope you're on the up and up now you've made some changes.
Celsie - fingers crossed it's just a cyst, thinking of you both (actually all three of you)
Jen - have been keeping up with Mackenzie's arm story, looking forward to hearing she's back to normal next week.
Angus had his injections etc yesterday, he did very well, didn't cry for too long. The anticipation was the worst thing I think as when he saw the 2nd and 3rd needles he knew what was about to come. Poor little love. He's been off colour all day today, hot and much less active and more sleepy than usual. He power vomited the whole first morning feed all over both of us, it was like throwing a full cup of milk over each of us! We gave him some panadol, let him have a quiet day, and put him to bed early, hopefully he'll pick up by tomorrow. I'm a bit worried about him as he wasn't right but I guess that's what mummydom is all about, you worry about everything.
Anyway, off for the dreamfeed now, see you soon.
-
Hi Feathertop,
Glad you're slowly on the mend.
Two things, how come Angus had 3 needles? Lewis only had 2 plus the oral rotavirus.
Also regarding your dreamfeed, when will you stop doing it? I dreamfeed Lewis too, about 11pm, but was wondering how long I will have to do it for. Do you think when they are on solids they won't need it anymore? Have you ever missed the dreamfeed to see what time he wakes up? I often wonder what would happen but enjoy my sleep too much to find out!
Oh and Charly, I think I will steal your pipe cleaner idea, thanks!!;)
-
Charly - I did have something to tell you in this post, but DH is singing playschool songs with Caeleb at the top of his voice and has completely made me lose my train of thought! LOL :rolleyes: I'm sure it will come to me.
Sarah - Caeleb had 3 needles too. I don't know what they were all for (I was just focusing on trying to calm him down), but it might be worth calling your GP. Maybe it's different for each state? Nah, that doesn't sound right. Maybe yours had all the ones he needed in two needles? Let us know how you go.
Thank you all for your kind words. I'm keeping positive, no matter what. In fact, I'm so convinced it's nothing that I'm sending DH off to have his swimmers checked, see if he's sterile or not after his chemo. If they are no good, we've decided that we'll get the IVF process started some time in the new year. There's just no telling how long it might take to get PG. Anyway, will cross that bridge when we come to it.
We had a gorgeous family moment in bed this morning. DH is not longer working Saturday's (YAY), so we were all in bed together, talking and playing with Caeleb. DH and I had our feet sticking our the bottom of the covers at the end of the bed. Caeleb was obsessed with our feet, so DH decided to do a "puppet show" and gave our feet each there own little voices and wriggled them about and told Caeleb a story. LOL :lol:
Caeleb has the lumpiest gums. He's teething! He's being really good about it though. I've given him a rub of Bonjela the past two nights over both gums so he can get to sleep. It's horrible seeing him in pain. :(
Okay, I promised to record the pageant for a friend, so must go!
BBL
Celsie. xoxox

Hi,
Lewis had Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type B, Hep B and Polio in one needle and Pneumococcal in the other needle. Plus his oral rotavirus. Has he missed anything there?
Also, am I the only one who doesn't know what a Christmas pageant is ?? !!
-
Hi all.
Sarah, in Perth, they have a christmas pagaent in the city, a parade of floats, bands, dancing school, celtic groups etc.
Celsie - Caleb should of won. Not being bias, but, i reckon he was the cutest.
Aiden had 2 needles, adn the rotavirus. I thought that was all there was. He had no after effects from the needles or the oral vaccination thankfully.
Celsie - cute moment. I love our little family moments. They are precious. And, we get more of them now i have finished work as i have more time in the evenings when DH is home. These times that we get as family moments, no amount of money can buy, so as much as i liked the extra money, i am happier to be able to have the experiences.
Charly - ditto, i have been thinking about those girls as well. I havent seen Princessmya at all around on the forum. I do hope that they are going well.
Sarah - on and off, i do a dream feed. i find if i miss it, then, its doesnt seem to make a huge difference to how he sleeps. Mind you, he is on solids, and i guess that helps alot.
Speaking of, how are people going with solids.. those that had started? I make all AIdens food. I do have a couple of jars on standby thou. He has roughly the equilivent of a jar for breakfast, and for tea, as well as at least 5 bottles a day. I dont always give him solids every day thou, i try for every evening, but, not always breakfast. If i miss a solids for a day, he will have sooo much to drink. I would say easily 7 - 8 bottles over 24hours. Each bottle being 200ml. In the evenings, i make up a bigger one for him. During the nights when he wakes, he will either wake once and take 1 massive feed, or, wake twice, and take 2 lots of 100 - 120ml. I much prefer the one massive feed thou. If no solids, then, its two big feeds at night.
Anyways, my ironing pile is calling.. :cry: best go make it look like i have done something :p
Have agreat weekend all
-
Hi all! Just thought I'd pop in quickly as I can hear DD and I think she has rolled over again! :rolleyes: So she isn't too happy atm!
There was also Lolly at one stage too who popped in I think - I hope she's ok!
Guess what?!?!? DD#2 had such a fussy day yesterday that I was planning on feeding her between 8.30-9pm last night but she woke early so fed her at 8pm and thought I'd leave her...................didn't hear from her til 6.30am this morning!!! :dance::dance:
Very happy!!!!
"Okay, okay.....coming coming!" mummy calls to her so unhappy bubba............... :p
bbl lovelies!!
Mwa!!
-
Hi,
Charly - Lewis slept til 6.40am this morning aswell, it is a record! And when I woke up and thought 'umm better go check on him', he was just lying awake in his cot playing with his hands :heartbeat: What a cutie!
The Christmas pageant sounds great, I read they are going to do one in Sydney, I must see when it is.
Also what about Meegm and Naomi54? Hope we didn't bore them to tears :cryinglaugh:
-
Hi all,
The immunisation regime differs slightly from state to state, that's why the 3 needles or 2 needles deal. Angus is still out of sorts, he slept for a good 13 hrs last night and still wasn't himself today, hot and quiet and whingy. No sleeps at all during the day today either! I'm so worn out.
I've been thinking about trying to drop the dreamfeed but I've decided not to as he only feeds 6 times a day as it is, and I reckon he'll wake up looking for that missing feed and get all out of whack. When he starts refusing it I'll know then!!
Anyway, it has been a long day as Angus hasn't let me out of his sight all day, so it has been full on. Being ill doesn't help, had to get more antibiotics. Anyway must go and say hello to my lovely husband. Hope you are all well, those who we haven't heard from in a while - we miss you!
-
hi everyone
just a quick hello - i'm still reading all the happenings to everyone
I had 2 days of nasty gastro early this week and then because I was hardly eating and feeling pretty low I ended up with mastitis:(
hope everyone else is well
Luv Mel
-
Oh yes! Naomi54 and Meegm! Wow there are many June mummies aren't there?!?! Hope you are all doing well where ever you are!! Thinking of you all!! xx (and yes, I concur with MumofLewis - hope we didn't send you into a deep sleep!! :lol:)
Oh sending you :hug: Feathertop and Mel_thekiwimum! I really hope you are both feeling much better really soon.
Feathertop - after DD's 4month immunisations, it did take her a lot longer to recover than with her first immunisations too. She was sleepy, yet restless and was more happy in my arms than in her bed - very taxing. But am really feeling for you being unwell on top of all of that sweety!! Thinking of you hun!
MumofLewis - :dance: That's so fab!!!:dance: And it is gorgeous when you find them so content and awake, so precious!! Actually, DD#1 took a massive stack tonight and squealed the house down but bizarrely DD#2 didn't wake!! I went in to check on her and she had her arms above her head and was sleeping so peacefully. But it was so beautiful when I gently touched her tummy with my hand, she smiled in her sleep but didn't open her eyes! Awwwwwwwwww :heartbeat:
Well I've rearranged DD#2's room for the second time in a couple of weeks- first to accomodate the manual roller blind winder and now this time, with our aircon, we have to leave the doors slightly open to the room with the vents on. Where DD's cot was, she could see out the door and even though I put a blanket on the side of her cot, she could still light coming through the top half of the door. So we have moved her cot to behind the door and completely rearranged her room - funnily enough, looks better, less cluttered and I am hoping its not co-incidence but DD has been sleeping now at her nap times - not squealing and yelling her way through them!! :D
Well, off to go have a minute, watch some mind suck TV and have some ice cream!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
Mwa!!

Hi everyone
I feel like I haven't been around for ages, although it's only probably been a few days...
Our wedding went well last week. I put some photos up in my gallery, but I am going to have to do a proper write-up and post some more photos soon.
Diana had her first outing to the beach yesterday, but I don't think she liked it very much. Too cold and windy... She got to dip her feet in the sea for the first time though, so that's kind of cool.
Mel - hope you feel better soon.
Hi to everyone else.
-
Congrat's Mrs Starfish! Looks like you had a nice day!
Lewis has come on really quickly in the last few days. Not only is he laughing non stop at everything we do now, but he can also turn around on his play gym so he faces the other way and he did his first roll yesterday too, from front to back. So he's mobile at last!
We just went to Toys R Us. We are going to get him a baby walker for xmas, although not sure if we will use it as a walker yet, it's just that it converts to a rocker and it also has lots of toys on the tray so he can be upright when he's playing. I think he is getting a bit bored of always being lying down. They have a great sale on if anyone's interested. The sale catalogue is on their website.
Hope everyone's well :)
-
Hey where is everyone! busy enjoying the sunshine maybe!
I've been busy this week making Lewis's Christmas cards. They look really cute, especially with the sparkly pipe cleaners around the photo, thanks Charly for that idea! I took a photo of Lewis with a santa hat on and he is really laughing in the photo. I can't wait to have his first santa photo done!
I went to the library today to get some books on weaning. I don't plan to start until xmas time but thought I'd read up on it all.
Lewis has started rolling from his back to his front this week. Trouble is as you all probably know already, now I can't leave the room because he gets stuck and starts whinging!
Apart from that we have been out walking every day. I've come to the conclusion my scales are dodgy, the other morning I weighed at 6am and then was 500g lighter at 8am ! I'm determined to get back to my pre pregnancy weight before xmas so that I can go swimming without people thinking I'm pregnant! I just can't seem to shift this last 4 kilos though and it's all around my middle :doh:
So what has everyne else been up to? I hope all the bubs are doing well. Can you believe how much they are changing?
-
LMAO ladies, no you didnt bore me to tears!!
Im hear, i rarely get time to get on these days, will still be a while before i get another chance to get on as im about to start my nail technician classes next week.
I havent had a chance to read to much, but just managed to read about the immunisations etc, Lachie had his 4month ones and had a reaction, he got a fever right up to the borderline of heading to hospital (37.2, thats the limit and thats what he was) he got a slight rash on his head that took 3days to go away, his drinking was all over the place for the 1st 24hrs but by sunday night (had immunisations friday morn) (except the rash) he was back to normal.
Lachie has rolls from his back to his belly like its going out of fashion lol, for the past couple of weeks he doesnt whinge much when he does it as he has learnt to manover some what to get to his toys, so he doesnt seem to mind when i leave the room, he is trying so hard to crawl atm its the cutest thing.
When he got his 4 month immunisations 26th October (4months 3days), got him weighed and measured, although its prob changed now he was 8.4kgs and 66cms tall, in the 90 percintile!!
he is learning so much atm, i can hardly keep up, as soon as i ring to keep people updated on what he is up to, he does something new!!
Lachie eats solids for lunch and tea, mainly avacado at lunch and potato, butternut and sometimes carrot for tea. I dont give him solids all the time, might only have lunch one day and tea the next then nothing for a day or two, depends on what he is like with his prior bottle. He loves his food though.
I hope he copes well when i start my course next week, as for 2 nights (til 9.30pm) he will either be at mums or at home with Rick, during the day he will be at mums, during the day im not worried about, its at night that concerns me, he has hit the stranger danger stage and although its not bad this week as it was last couple of weeks (litterally only rick and i could hold him or anything!) i guess im worried that it'll start when im not around iykwim
anyway better be off, really only jumped on here as i saw you ladies concerned you had bored me lol I do come on and read when i get the chance, but i dont get a chance to post all the time, sorry.
Hope you are all doing really well
xxoo
p.s oh and if you check Lachies website out in a couple of days you'll see some updated pics, re-doing a website for him
-
Heya Naomi!!! So good to hear from you!! Good to hear that you are awake and well, lol!!! Your little man sounds like he is doing so fab!!!
I won't stay on long as DD#2 is keeping me busy atm with rolling over in her cot and not being able to roll back and therefore getting severley frustrated!! :doh: Her day time naps are scarce atm because of it and its slowly driving me nuts - then the moment she does snooze, its like DD#1 has a sixth sense and will drop something on the tiles or scream the house down...................grrrrrr.
Have gone and gotten sick too which is highly inconvenient as I am in the throws of organising DD#1's 3rd birthday party for this Saturday!! Have sniffles, sore throat, blocked sinus and temps...........................again, grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
So life's a peach! :lol:
Hope you are all doing well, hopefully will bbl so I can post to you all!
Mwa!!
-
Hi,
Naomi - Good to hear from you, sounds like Lachie is doing great. Funny you should talk about stranger danger, Lewis stuck his bottom lip out for a full 5 minutes today when my MIL held him, maybe that's why!!
Charly - Have you thought about one of those anti roll pillows for DD2? Lewis has one and it's great because I know he can't go anywhere while he's sleeping. I know Teepee has one too which she likes.
-
Hi everyone
I have had an extremely crappy week and am looking forward to it being over. (You can read about it in my other threads if you want, although that probably would bore you to tears...)
Good luck for your course Naomi and hope that Lachlan handles it well. When I was studying a few months ago, it took Diana a few weeks to adjust to not having me there in the evening, but eventually she was okay.
I met with my mothers group yesterday and we took photos of the babies together. It was so cute. I will post them in a few days time (after getting permission from the mothers). Diana seems to be the smallest. I hope that she's just naturally little and not because she's not getting enough milk. (I fear my milk is drying up due to recent stress, etc.) I suppose I will know when I get her weighed next. Last time at 20 weeks, she was 5.9kg and 65cm long (I might have posted this already.)
Anyway, better be off. Hi to everyone else. Good night.
-
Charly: Like sarah suggested, have you thought about an anti-roll pillow? As soon as he rolled over a couple of times in a row, i went out and bid on one on ebay to have my mum come over the following day with a brand new one lol so now i have two lol, but it will be great for when he sleeps at mums, means i have to take less with me iykwim, the one mum brought cost her $25.
Bugger at her rolling over in her cot, Lachie doesnt do that he just does 360's and gets himself in werid possies that way lol
i suggest for your sanity and hers that your prob best off looking at an anti roll pillow and a mobile? keep her entertained on her back, although if she like Lachie, she'll soon figure out how to get out of it without rolling over!!
Rick is sick like that too, he has had today off b/c of it, hope i dont get it!! Doesnt sound pleasent, hope you get better soon.
Sarah: its amazing with the stranger danger, he picks and chooses who to get scared of, a friend of ours his girlfriend, he wont cry at her but will at him, will cry at mil and bil and partners but not at my mum. They soon figure it out, at first its quite cute, but after the 6th time it kinda gets to you that, only you can hold them, i struggle to soothe him when he starts so its better not to have him start at all iykwim
Zofia: what did you study?? it'll only be 1 night where he'll be in unfamiliar place (at mums) without me, when i go off to the shops at night he is ok at home with Rick, so hopefully not that bad, course only goes for 7 1/2 weeks anyway, so not that long.
Cant wait to see some pics of Diana, dont worry about her size, as long as she is happy thats all that matters, like you said you will know when you get her weighed next time, but you could see it in her if she wasnt getting enough iykwim
Well better be off ladies, my man has half learned the word mum and calls me num (has just learnt the n letter) and is calling to me from his bead where he is supposed to be sleeping lol
Catch you all soon
-
just to add, Lachie had his eyes closed teasing him self with the dummy, like he was telling his hand off, everytime he pulled the dummy out he would whinge and call num then put the dummy back in and be fine, all with his eyes closed!! lol
-
New thread time ladies
Love
