Babies Born March 16th-31st 2009 #2

I havent been able to get on here for days :-(

All is good here, cant believe how fast Ella is growing, she is so much more playful now. we got a roll from her tummy to her back this week but she wont do it again might have been a fluke :D

Talking about the SIDS my mum said they had to put there babies on there tummies in case they chocked on there vomit, it weird how now we get the opposite advice.

We have a great mummies group going, we have found a place that is going to set us up some baby equipment for us each week. Its very cute watching them start to interact with each other

Sorry for the selfish post, hope everybody and there bubs are good

I am having trouble getting a routine going, are they supposed to be in one yet?

Boy did I miss Belly Belly when it was down!

I think we are still having problems! I just wrote a nice big post and it is gone :( Ahhhh

Wow its not often I have to search for us on the second page lol!! Either everyone is having a very busy weekend or the BB downtime is continuing!

I agree Kellbell....its crazy how the advice and do's/dont's change like that! My Dad keeps telling me to put glycerin on Josh's dummy to settle him...when I say thats really bad for them he tells me how I had it all the time and loved it and Im still alive so wheres the problem lol Plus he thought it was cruel I didnt have a pillow in the cot....reconed it would be so uncomfortable for Josh to be lying flat like that :rolleyes:

I hope everyone is doing really well with happy growing babies :) and maybe even getting some sleep!

This week Josh has freaked me out two nights in a row by sleeping right thru...one morning I actually had to wake him so I could take DH to work lol. He hasnt been feeding more thru the day tho...just sometimes drops that night feed...I guess his body will let him know if its not enough. I keep waking up at his normal night feed time and cant sleep without going in to check him afew times lol. Poor thing woke up with shocking diarrea today...hoping its nothing serious :(

Hopefully this post wont get eaten.....I will try to get back thru the week for personals....but for now Im off to my birthday party :dance:(30 ouch!!)

Kodi is now rolling from her tummy to her back, every time i put her down for tummy time & she doesn't want it she'll just roll over & give me this big cheeky smile.

Helen Kodi is mostly sleeping through now, she'll have her last feed 10-11pm & usually wake up 6-8 depending on her big sister. Sometimes she'll wake up just for a comfort suck & fall asleep within 1 min.
Happy Birthday & Have fun at ur b'day party, only 2wks till my birthday where has the year gone already.

Hi to everyone else

hi all, been a very windy whingy week here/ monday i know it was cause i had dairu sunday but not sure about rest of week. she had a huuuge pooh this morning, really wet one, but then went a couple of changes b4 another one. we found gripe water has helpec a bit, calms her down a bit!! but yeah poor lil tyke...and shes sooo tired, even though she went 10 hours between feeds last night woohoo! but she hasnt had any long sleeps during the day!

shes still hating tummy time, just sticking with doing it on my chest in the recliner! she can push up against me so i guess shes getting wat she needs for now~!!

Cant believe shes 8 weeks tomorrow!!! I'm hoping only another 4 weeks till her tummy settles but I hope they dont go quick cause I hate her growing up so fast!

helen - if you're interested in baby massage, our classes were run by a physio at the hospital and she showed us the techniques and gave us a sheet with all the techniques listed on it. And we also watched Pinky Mckay's baby massage dvd which demonstrated all the techniques. If you have the techniques written down and an alright memory you only need to see the dvd once. The dvd is available on her website or possibly you could get a copy from your local library.

has been very quiet on here lately! hows everyone going? we're doing ok here. Susie had a better day yesterday, not as much screaming. Brett had her for 2 hours..went to the supermarket to get a few things..she spat up on him 3 times lol, brought her home to change her then took her for a long walk! was loely for me - i had a nap then did some sewing. but I could tell he was WIPED after 2 hours. think he's developed an appreciation for how tired I get especially when we alone for the day hehe!

Baby Massage is awesome isnt it!! Susie seems to like it :)

Hello everyone! We are doing good.

Yay Ella for rolling!!

Yay Josh for sleeping through for two nights! Has there been some more repeats of this since, Helen?

Yay Kodi for rolling!! It is also good to here about her sleep habits, how lovely for you!!

DD is into a pretty good pattern, too. She goes down at 9pm, sleeps till 4am, has a feed and falls straight back to sleep before waking at 8 for her next feed. She will then sleep a further 2hrs till 10:30am. If I have to go somewhere before 10 she will usually still sleep, just in the car etc. During the day she is a bit of a snacker and napper. She will sleep 40minutes here and there, have small feeds every 2hrs or so and spend the rest of the time awake.

When should they start to be in the pattern of defined day naps? Right now, I am still just following her lead and watching for tired signs but do they fall into their own day sleep routine or is that something I have to look into encouraging? I have no problem with the way her days are now, I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing by her! How can I tell if she is sleeping too much? As long as she is fine when awake and has awake time during the day, is that enough of an indication that her sleep is okay? I *feel* like everything is good so I guess that is a positive sign.

Anyway, I gotta run! DD has finished feeding which means it is time for me to stop browsing!

Sorry to everyone I missed. Hope you are all well.

JB i'm just happy at least one of my kids is sleeping through, My toddler is waking at 3-4am every morning & refuses to go back down.
I really wouldn't worry about routines just yet, I think FF babies get into a routine sooner. Once Immy hits 12wks she'll start having more awake time as she'll want to start playing with more things :)

Hi to everyone else, hope your all well :)

We are still here just had a busy week Miss c is 2 months today

Hi, can i join???? My little girl Lily was born 6 weeks prem. She is now 10 weeks old...but her adjusted age is 4 weeks, so her development is wa behind anything ive read here. We spent the fist 4 weeks of her life in NICU and hospital and its been a real tough journey!! She is struggling to put on weight and is a very grizzly baby....cries a lot and just wants to be held all the time! we cant put her down for a second...and i'm pretty sure we've tried all the strategies from any parenting books ive read!!! look forward to getting to know you all...and hopefully getting some tips too :)

Hi Dotty & welcome.

We're still here too, just been busy, argh sometimes I hardly seem to sit down at all!!

The lumps on Noah's neck are swollen lymph nodes & nothing to worry about. phew.
Catch up with you all soon!

hi dotty welcome

Hi Dotty! welcome for sure :) just a thought re clinging bub - have u tried a baby carrier/sling? may help her settle and still give u some freedom!

Mo sorry to hear about the 3am wakings!! hope she settles down!

Jo glad the lumps are nothing to worry about!

Jitter - Susie is really only catnapping mosr of the day here too, 45 min blocks mostly. but going for longer sleeps at night so guess it balances out!! I'e just been letting her dictate day sleeps too and put her down if she falls asleep!

hi everyone, god its been ages since i've been on here. we had our 8 week checkup today, David's been doing really well weight wise last visit he put on 480g in 2 weeks. but this week 20g in 2 weeks which isn't good. He is feeding well every 4 hours, seems to be latching on okay, sleeping well and a happy baby so its a mystery. I think its because I was demand feeding and MCHN said to not feed him unless its longer than 3.5hrs between feeds, he's been averaging 4 and a bit but maybe he was hungry and I didn't realise. I have to see MCHN thursday and wake him for feeds in the daytime (not at night thank god) and hopefully he's gained some, otherwise i'll have to express to top up his breastfeeding see if that helps. Otherwise she said it could be some underlying medical reason. I don't know its a bit baffling :dunno:

Has anyone elses bubs not gained weight after a huge spurt?

I have a question as well sorry if too much info:redface: but has anyone had their period back, just I think I've got mine the child nurse said its unusal but possible but I don't see Obstrecian for 6 week checkup till next week as his on holidays for 3 weeks . I didn't think you normally get one when your exclusively breastfeeding.

On a positive tummy time is going super, he can hold his head and chest up a bit which child nurse said was excellent they don't expect that until 4 months and he's only 2 months.

Hi, thanks for the welcomes.
MrsC_Aussie yeah i do have a sling, it helps me heaps during the day, just still wish i could get her to sleep in the bassinet rather than on me!!! maybe in time...fingers crossed!
auzzie.chick- yes ive already had my period back, and i thought the same thing..that it shouldn't come back while you are breastfeeding!!! oh and my little girl has been terrible at gainign weight the whole time since birth, but this is prob due to being prem. She is now 10 and a half weeks and weighs 2.715kg only!!! its a worry for me everyday, but hopefully we will get there in the end!!!!

Hi Dotty,
That is reassuring that people do get periods whilst breastfeeding, it probably is that then, which sucks really I thought it was gone for good whilst I was breastfeeding. Will keep an eye on it and check with obstrecian next week.

My niece has had problems similar to you she's 6 months and still struggling to gain weight it stresses my sister out no end.

auzzie.chick i thought i'd have a holiday from the periods too!!! sucks doesnt it!! heres hoping the weight gain improves for you niece as well an my DD!!!

hi everyone, i have been reading but havent had a chance to write. sorry bout that! :-)
welcome dotty.

we are going for our immunisations tomorrow, not looking forward to that. i am getting the implanon implant too, i am sick of the pill. btw- i have heard of heaps of ppl getting their period while breastfeeding, i dindt get mine first time round til 17months! YAY, dont have em yet either.

i have a bit of a head cold actually, its making it hard to be patient and energetic i can tell you! chelsea had a big cry in the car yesterday (she hates it) and when i finally got to her she had a runny nose! i am hoping it was just from crying and that she isnt sick. speaking of sick, is anyone freaking out about swine flu?

sleep... hmm.. some days are good some are bad still. i just cheer myself up by thinking how much of a bad sleeper DD2 was and now she is almost three she is pretty good.. so it doenst last forever! i know what you mean about wishing they would just sleep in cot/basinette, it kinda sux at times when they want to sleep on you. but really when they are all grown up you are gonna look back and remember those special times and miss it!

oh, i have found that chelsea sleeps heaps better on her tummy but i am so nervous about it still. the other night i waited up til 11pm before i went to bed cause i copuldnt go to sleep with her on her tummy in her cot in the other room! i ended up going in and flipping her over, of couse she woke up so she came straight into bed with me. to tell u the truth i was much more relaxed with her in there with me.

milestones-- hmmm.. not much in the rolling or head lifting department here. its wierd cause DD1 was super fast at reaching those milestones, she was crawling at 5months!! i dont think chelsea is gonna be quite as fast with it all.


anyway, glad that everyone is doing well!

Welcome Dotty!

We got immunised this morning and it was horrible. Alexandra is a pretty quiet baby and she screamed and screamed then fell asleep a few minutes later. I think it was a coping mechanism for the pain because she is usually awake at that time of morning. She was grizzly all day and had a few more screaming fits throughout the day so we have had lots of cuddles today and she is asleep on my chest at the moment :lol:

Hollo - sucks to be sick, hopefully you get better soon and the kids don't get sick as well

Dotty and Auzzie - Sending you good vibes and hoping that your bubs keep steadily putting on weight. I was freaking out when Alexandra hadn't started putting on weight 2 weeks after she was born, thinking that she wasn't getting enough milk and that i was starving her. She was a big baby to start with, 4.44kg and lost a couple of hundred grams, but once she started to put it on she has turned into a little heifer and is 6.2kg

Hi Ladies!

Welcome Dotty :p

Gosh the thread has been busy all of a sudden... love that.

I understand about the stress of babies not putting on weight, Edison didn't put on ANY weight for over a month. In the end he was put on formula and is now doing really well. Hang in there everyone, sending lots of chubby thoughts to you all!

Poor little bubs who are getting immunised - I think it is worse for us sometimes. Good Luck with it all, hope it all goes well.

auzzie.chick - I hope the weight improves, I was feeding every 4 hours as well and he was sleeping fine and doing all the normal things, was just weird he wasn't putting on weight, in the end I had to feed every 2-3 hours and supplement with formula then breast and so on, I had to stop with the breast in the end as everytime we did the breast he would cry and I would have to top him up, the breast just wasn't happening for us... He is great now and has a little cute double chin... Great news on tummy time and holding head up!
funkeefrog - Hope Alexandra is better today and over her little grizzles.
Hollo - Get better soon lots of rest - which is easier said than done with 2 little ones! I love co-sleeping too and find it easier to do sometimes, so go for it if you get more sleep...
Jitterbug - Edison catnaps during the day and does a big sleep at night - I love the night sleep, he sounds very similar although he will do a 2 hour sleep in the afternoon, not the morning and feeds every 2 hours as well. I thought every 2 hours was a lot and was thinking about giving more formula to keep him going longer - hmm - I know I have to increase the formula for the first wake up feed of the morning as he is STARVING - so funny... Yay for the rolling too!
MrsC_Aussie - Glad to hear the gripe water is working for you, we have to burp during a feed for wind or else we have nasty times - hurry up and burp by themselves I say!
Storm - Good to hear that the lumps are nothing to worry about :)

We don't have rolling here yet, but the head is pretty much supported now which is amazing, won't be long til it is totally supported which is exciting. Still we don't have that many smiles yet, only on special occasions - I think he saves them up!

OK! Sorry for the long post, trying to get to the personals :)
xxx

Hollo - hope you are feeling better!! and that chelsea didnt get sick!!

dotty and auzzie - bummer re the periods! no signs of them here yet *fingers crossed*

funkee - poor lil chooken with the immunizations!! am sure she was glad to have mummy to cling to!

Susie is not having her immunizationst till next week but DH and I had the whooping cough one on monday.

How much is everyone's bubba sleeping? I don't think Susie is sleeping enough, she is getting a good 6-7 hours block at night, but shes only catnapping during the day. longest sleeps are in my arms! shes still having quiet alert happy time, but yeah, surely she should be having a couple of 1hr + naps during the day.

Hello all

I am sorry I have been so slack I have be trying to stock up the store and I am almost there

We had 2 month injects yesterday miss c is clingy today

Weighed in at 5.42 and head 39cm

Linda

hi all,
it has been at least a month since i was on, the laptop broke and had to be fixed.

Allyeria is doing well at her 8wk checkup she was 6.2kg and 61cm long, my big bubba! she is into 00 outfits now. she drinks about 150ml-200ml every 3 hrs and sleeps from 6:30/7pm to 7am with some stiring starting from 4am but goes back to sleep with her dummy. she smiles all the time now and talks heaps. when she is napping i sometimes get a giggle but wont do it when she is awake and we r tickling her like crazy. we have a pretty good routine now but somedays she catnaps at 20mins a time and only when i am holding her - she is abit of a koala its hard to get anything done around the house. we borrowed a swing but she is not very impressed with it and i may only get enough time to pee before she cries. she hasn't rolled yet but can lift herself right up on her hands. she only ever sleeps on her tummy (since birth) and has no probs - she wont sleep on her back at all. she is very much a little princess and she lets me know everyday :) we are just soo in love with her, she has us all wrapped around her little finger.

i have had a few problems with AF i have been on the pill for 2mths now and for most of that time i have still been bleeding i even got a higher dose but i still spot it is driving me crazy.

sorry for the long post i hope to be able to get on more often now, it sounds like everyones bubbas are thriving well!!!

take care
treena

Hi Everyone and welcome Dotty,

Treena, Dotty and Auzzie - what a pain about AF. I had been getting worried as I was still bleeding from the birth up until 8 weeks, but then (thank goodness) it stopped. Not expecting my AF to return as my cycle is almost non-existent (hence the IVF).

TL - I hear you about the clinginess after the immunisation. Jasmine was very clingy for about 48 hours afterwards and also ran a mild temp for that time (had to give her panadol to bring it down). Great weight gain.

Mrs C - I've had problems with Jasmine sleeping during the day also. My MCHN says that babies have a 45 minute sleep cycle, and it looked like Jasmine was just going to sleep for one of those. The nurse has said that I should be trying to get her to sleep for 2 45 minute cycles during the day. So our plan now is that we feed and play for 1 hour, then try to get Jasmine to sleep for 2 (doesn't always work though!) My nurse suggested that when she wakes from the first cycle to try and resettle her where she is... that is rocking in the pram or patting on the back, but trying not to pick her up to settle as that will just wake her up more.

Hi to everyone else... hope all is well...

Well yesterday was very strange for us. Jasmine was cluster feeding all day. Normal she feeds every 3 hours (breast) during the day, then I get one 5 hour stretch over night then back on every three hours. Well yesterday little Miss decided that she needed to eat every 2 1/4 hours up until 10:30pm (that was tiring!), but the great news is that she then slept for 7 hours!!!!!!! That is the first really big sleep I have had since she was born... WOW I forgot how good it felt. We are back on 3 hourly feeds so far today. She must be going through a growth spurt and stimulating my milk supply for it.

She is putting on weight well - which is such a relief as it is hard to know if she is getting enough food when you are breast feeding. Now weighs 4.835kg at her 8 week check up which is a total weight gain on 1kg in a month. She is getting so strong with holding her head up. No rolling yet, but so proud of how strong she is getting.

Talk Soon,
Janie and Jasmine xxx

Hi guys
I havent been near the pc much lately...I got a shocking head cold and now have a grizzly clingy bub....hope I didnt get him sick too! Ive still been reading the email updates, just havent had a chance to post much :(
So good to see more new peoples popping in :) welcome welcome :)
I hope everyone else is hanging in there and going ok!! Someone mentioned AF returning.....we are formula feeding and yes I have had AF return once....remains to be seen if its back to a regular thing yet.
Got Joshie weighed at mummys group yesterday......he was chucking a huge tantrum and wouldnt sit still....so his clothed wriggly weight is 6.5kg.....really didnt think he would be that big!! Yikes!!
Getting more sleep thru the night now too which is really good and makes these grizzly days so much easier to handle!!
Hope everyone is well..... big hugs to all :)
Hopefully I will back to normal soon....miss you guys!

hi all,
chelsea got a temp from her vaccinations too, panadol did the trick. luckily she wasnt clingy or whingey, she was quite sleepy. i think i have given her my germs too, she is all snuffly, poor little mite.

i thought her weight 5.4kg was quite big but i see some of your bubs are weighing more. so cute, i love their little chubby legs!

i got the implanon implant too, and had to go back cause i couldnt feel it. i have to get an ultra sound done to locate it. bloody hassle!

thats all from me for now.

Charlotte has been clingy after her injections and sleepy to hoping tonight she way go back to her own bed for a bit

:hello: to all I am almost finished stocking the store so I will be around more soon I promise

Hi everyone!

Wow you've all been so chatty!

Been pretty busy here, hopefully things will settle down now.

Noah is going well, weighs 5.65kg & is 59cm long, just about ready to bust out of the bassinet.

I have decided not to have this op done, just too invasive, going to wait & see if it grows back, then I'll get it done. I am so glad I didn't give up BF all together so I am now going to wean him off formula , with the help on the SNS :clap:. Then we have to work out his allergies :rolleyes:

Hope you are all doing well.

Is anyone Else's bubs getting a bald patch at the back of their heads yet? When I get Noah out of bed he leaves hair on the sheet argh wish he didn't turn his head to look around so much.:lol:

Well that's it for me, washing machine calling me:wall:

Hello everyone. Been getting into a bit of a good routine lately and starting to enjoy it all a bit more. Made chicken and vegetable soup the other day and it was a huge hit. My Mum stayed for dinner and wanted seconds!! DF has finished work for the week but is having a sleep with DD since he got home at 6am. Doesn't have to go back in till Tuesday afternoon so a huge weekend for us :) Tomorrow we are getting DD's feet and hands sculptured... should be interesting to see how she handles it. Not much else going on here.

Storm -- good to hear you are able to continue breastfeeding!! I really hope that it doesn't grow back. DD is getting a bald patch on the front of her head!! She looks like her Dad who is balding at the front haha. My Mum and I keep teasing DF, saying he better not have passed his baldness on (in a nice loving way, of course hehe). Also good to here that Noah's neck is fine :D

Good to hear all the little ones who coped okay with their needles! Aren't they all growing so big? I haven't weighed DD in a while but she was 5.5kg at her 2month needle appointment and she is now just 12 days off being 3months!! Will have to get her weighed sometime this weekend, it is always fun to see.

Hollo -- how annoying about having to have an ultrasound! Did the implant hurt? I'm terrified of needles. Hope you both recover from your germs quickly! We let DD sleep on her tummy occasionally and I understand what you feel. It is weird because 20yrs ago, Mother's would have felt like they were doing the safe thing... my Mum tells me she should be fine but I can't help but worry. I am a little less worried now that I know she can move her head and roll over but I still only let her during the day when I can watch her like a hawk haha.

funkeefrog -- hope Alexandra is feeling better after her jabs now. It is so hard, isn't it? I went in wanting DF to hold her but as soon as I saw the needles, I wanted to be the one comforting her... even though it was hard hearing her cry :(

Helen -- seems a few of us are coming down with things. I hope you are feeling better today and Joshie hasn't caught it. My DF is a bit sniffly and I keep telling him not to breath on DD or me!! So far, we haven't got it but I'm thinking it is just a matter of time...

Janie -- how nice to get a good chunk of sleep! Good to hear about the weight gain too. It is a bit stressful aye? Boobies really need a clear window!!

treena -- Sucks about AF, hopefully they can sort something out soon. Aren't the smiles just the best? I've started having to not smile while she feeds because she will smile back and fall off!!

linda -- so good to hear your store is going well :)

Phoenix -- Ah, that would be frustrating! Hopefully, the toddler starts sleeping a bit longer soon!

Welcome Dotty! Congratulations on your little princess! Hopefully you can find some good advice ;)

MrsC_Aussie -- good to know I'm not the only one doing that!!

auzzie.chick -- I hope David has gained some more weight this week. I was told that it can sometimes give a better picture to weigh over 4 weeks and then divide so if you look at it that way he has gained over 100g a week which isn't bad. Hopefully, if this week has been better then it was just a slow period iykwim? We don't weigh DD that often so for all I know she could have some slow weeks, too! Sending you chubby bubby vibes ;) Sounds like he is doing well other than that! Sucks to hear about AF. She hasn't made an appearance here, thankfully but I have been a bit crampy this week so it could be soon... we are breastfeeding here, too so I was hoping for a bit of a break!!

RazRock -- that does sound so similar to DD. She has a long sleep at night (8+hrs) but catnaps, snacks etc during the day. I'm okay with it and she seems happy so I guess I'll just keep following her lead!

Wow, this is a hugely long post! No doubt I missed someone, there are so many of us now :) Sorry if I did, been trying to write this in between the regular morning distractions. Hope everyone is doing okay. DD had a screaming match for a few hours last night, still no idea why!! My Mum thinks she could be teething because she is drooling everywhere but it seems too soon?? Anyway, better run!!

Take care everyone :hug:

We had our immunisations on Wednesday night, so David was very grizzly and clingly he got a mild temeprature (which was lucky it was mild as we had no baby panadol). He had a few massive throw ups which unfortunatley i wore, side affect of the rotavirus immunisation . Which at 2am I was a tad emotional and grumpy, so today have brought myself a body scrub from body shop and told hubby that he can entertain David for an hour while i have some self pampering.

Gym is going well had last personal trainer session today, geez I'm going to ache tomorrow been doing mostly stomach and back strengthening exercises. Oh and a little bit for my arms. Managing to get there twice a week, thinking I might try to walk to mothers group though, only down side is its all up/down hills. Will certainly be a work out.

Jitterbug- thanks, bubs weighed in at 5.69 on Thursday so had gained 220g in four days really confused the MCHN so have another weigh in on Tuesday just in case, before we have a gap till his 3 month check.

That is great news auzzie.chick -- sounds like it was just a slow couple of weeks and you are doing a fab job! Hopefully, the numbers are still climbing on Tuesday :)

Enjoy your pampering!!

I'm still around just had a rough week.
I'll bbl with personals when velco girl lets me put her down more than 2 mins.

Mo - I have velcro girl's partner Koala girl!

Well if I get half an hour with Miss C asleep on the couch there will be a party! :cheer: she has been majorly clingy since her injections and my arms are sore. I sooo glad I have the baby ktan and close to keep her in!

:hug: to everyone will do personals soon xxx

Thought i would put us back on the 1st page.

I think Kodi has finally built up my supply enough to make her happy, these last couple of days have been horrible. Felt like all she to do wanted to do was feed 24/7.

How's everyone been? Anyone do anything exciting for the long weekend?

Nothing exciting here.

I gave Noah a bottle of EBM last night at 7 & he slept til 8.30 this morning so I know it's not my milk, although it did take me a week to get enough for a feed :rolleyes: time to boost it back up I think all the bottles he has been having have caused it to drop off some.I'm so glad he still settled at the breast though otherwise I'd have no chance.

Hope everybody had a great weekend, we had lots of rain & my driveway is mush, 3k's worth of slip & slide as Katie nicely puts it.

Have to take Noah back to the specialist tomorrow & the little 2 are at pre school/day care.

Hi All,

We had a busy weekend, caught up with some friends, managed to get some work done on my assignments and also buy an album to put all of Alexandra's baby photos into and get them in there which took a while. We had a big cull when we sorted out which ones to print but still had 250 photos, mostly baby photos but also some during pregnancy from holidays and stuff. Also put together some mini albums and fridge magnets for great grandmas who we won't get to see for at least another couple of months.

It's pretty much same old thing with us, not much new happening. Alexandra is in her cot at the moment staring at her rainforest mobile. She gets so excited waving her arms and kicking her legs and making this noise like a hiccup and huge gasp combined. It is really funny to watch.

Great to hear that Noah is happily taking your milk Jo - hopefully you can build up your supply again quickly.

How did David go with his weigh in today Auzzie.chick? Sounds like he's back on track from your last post.

Hope everyone else is doing well and had a nice weekend

busy weekend here too..went to my in laws. was a lovely weekend except susie and i hae both got a cold. horrible hearing her struggle to breathe! using saline dtops a lil bit (she hates them), bit of breast milk up the nose, eucalyptus oil on a hankie under her pillow and we'e done the steamy bathroom twice..before bed last night and justy a few minutes ago. DH and I hae decided we should get as vaporizer/humidifier thing so will have to do that today. for now Susie is back to sleep!
no mothers group for us today, dont want to pass on the germs. will hae to check if she can still have injectuion tomorrow!

mrs C is she has a runny nose you can get this thing called 'little fess' or something similar and its like a little suction thing that you use to 'suck' the snot out. LOL sounds gross, and it is kinda gross to use it but it is so good to get all the snot out because of course they cant blow their noses.
