I'm sorry, I haven't done my homework and caught up on what's what.....I've been very lazy. Still got the outlaws here, they head home tomorrow and are taking Ben and Clo with them and then we'll follow later when DH gets home. So we are heading up to their place for the weekend while we still have some tax $$ to catch up with friends. I can't wait as I have a friend I chat to every week there and I love to actually SEE her. So next week when things are more settled I promise to get back into the swing of things.
In baby news, Jake learnt to roll from back to front last Saturday and is now at it constantly. So exciting but makes me so sad still.....where is my baby going?? Growing too fast. On the BF front things are going well. Down to 100ml top ups but he can go with out them a lot. I was naughty today and forgot to give him one at his 11am feed and then when he was doing well without it I also skipped his 3pm top up. He wasn't bothered at all, but i think I need to just reduce them slowly, rather than going for the chop!!! It's so tempting though, I just wanna get rid of them!
I've been missing you all terribly (luckily Mel has been keeping me informed and sane!) and can't wait to get to know the newbies! I'm not usually this scatty....I promise!
Off to do the dreaded top up bottles and tidy up for tomorrow. Hope you all have a good weekend and give those gorgeous plump cheeks a big kiss for me ( I LOVE smooching Jakes chops! lol).
Welcome to Sunday morning with a baby! i have been up since 4am when Sam decided to wake for an hour then go back to sleep,thing is I'm now totally awake!
Oh he has been so bad! I really hope this is a faze.He has been waking 5 - 6 times a night, sometimes more for the last 2 weeks.
He goes down very easily at night but just wont stay down.During the day it's a whole different story! HE WILL NOT GO DOWN! every time I try he screams and screams, he wont eat before going to sleep, or take the dummy.Nothing seems to help.
I have tried everything, Stretching out his feed so he is extra hungry, stretching out the time he is awake to make him extra tired,letting him fall asleep on me then putting him down,it just doesn't work.I know he is tired though, He was falling asleep in the Jolly Jumper on Friday,and the second I tried to take him out , Screams!
I'm out of ideas. I'm worried I'm not making enough milk anymore.He had his 4 month check up last week and was 8.8 Kg and 68.5 Cm, I wonder if my milk can sustain such a big boy.ahh I don't know.
Dh is very annoying about it too.Yesterday when we were driving Sam was crying for about 5 minutes then fell asleep.DH now thinks that if we let him cry for a couple on minutes he will just fall asleep,he doesn't seem to realise that being in the car is what got him to sleep.
On the plus side I'm coping pretty well with it all.A month ago I would have been crying along with him.
Better go, the Big Man is waking again!
Hope everyones weekends have been a little better than mine.
Been a while since I've posted (although I typed a post here the other day which was lost just as I was about to submit ... looked like the internet gremlins got to the BB site).
Anyway, I won't do personals tonight (... I will later in the week) but just wanted to say welcome back to Bec, send a dozen to Mel and a few to Laura too.
We had a moment during the week ... Cam rolled for the first time (luckily nanna and poppy were around to see it, cos mummy certainly wasn't!). He FINALLY rolled from his back to his front. Actually, I was pleased my parents were there to see it as they head back down to Tassie on Tuesday after 5 weeks caravaning near us and/or staying with us. It's nice they were there for one of Cam's "milestone moments".
All's well in our neck of the woods. Cam and I had a lovely time on the Sunshine Coast with my parents. Will have more time to jump online later in the week.
Hi Girls
Oh what a weekend we've had. I woke Isabella up for a feed about 9.15pm on Friday (I always wake her at that time) and she didn't seem right, Mick notice that she wasn't breathing right - very shallow so Mick unwrapped her and then she had a fit. She started to shake all over and her eyes went sidewards and Mick tried to get her to look at him but she wouldn't. I rang for the ambulance and they were here within 5 mins and the lady stayed on the phone telling us what to do. It was all very scary.
We we to Hospital and they took some blood for testing but that came ok. It took 3 doctors 5 goes to get blood from Isabella and the poor thing was screaming. WE spent Friday night in hospital. I finally got to sleep about 2am but was awake every hour on the hour til about 5am when Isabella fed. The doc came Saturday morning and said we had to stay another night just in case. I did manage to sleep a little better til about 2am when a little boy was admitted and was in the other cot in our room and that was the end of my sleep. I was glad to sleep in own bed last night.
We got the all clear at lunch time yesterday to come home and we went brought a motion and sound monitor with the sensor pads that go under the mattress. We weren't going to take any chances.
They didn't find anything specific wrong with Isabella other then she had a cold. Isabella has to have an EEG in a months time to rule out other things.
Anyway I had better go and try to get my house in order and hang some washing out
Take care and give your babies a big cuddles
Jo
