Babies Born March 16th-31st 2009 #2

hey all

Ally can roll onto her side but not all the way yet. i help her a little bit to get to her stomach to show her but she doesn't seem very interested in doing it. she has very strong legs and loves to stand up. we have great conversations now and loves to watch tv esp when i am trying to feed her.

her cradle cap is not too bad but as her hair is falling out u can see it more i have just been using the baby shampoo and scraping it off (when she lets me) is there anything out there to help with the scraping ( i dont really have any nails to help get it off)

we tried a little bit of apple puree yesterday the look on her face when she tasted it was priceless. but she still has the tongue relex and push some of it out, so we r going to leave it a little bit longer.
she is trying to sit up all the time now, if i have her lying in my arms she will keep leaning forward until she is in the sitting position. she gets very frustrated when she cant sit up.

i cant believe that most of the bubbas are rolling around

mo- i hope the infusion has worked and u r feeling better.

take care everyone.

:cheer: Immy good girl. Go get rocker babe!

Treena have not tried the fruit yet :)

treena i used to use an eyebrow comb to scrape the cradle cap off DD1 head, but sometimes it can get a bit red so i just stopped when that happened and used oil soaked in first to soften it up.

chelsea tries to sit too , just the same way you describe it treena. :-)

David seems to have good and bad days feeding, we are trying breastfeeding and then offering formula a short while later suprisingly he had a breastfeed then had nearly 150mls formula so wondering now if he's actually getting enough when he's on the breast. I have to admit though its kind of nice feeding him with the bottle as you can actually see what's going in and he actually sits still and drinks rather than messing around like when i breastfeed him. So its all a bit odd, we've got weigh in tomorrow so i'll be interested to see how he goes. The mchn said it could be my milk fluctuates with my cycle as it could drop in quantity when i have my period/ovulate. At times I wonder what it would be like formula feeding.. but i love breastfeeding him its such a nice bonding time.

Got to organise his immunisations shortly as we're overseas when he hits 4 months.. so its a busy few weeks coming up

Jitterbug- I haven't tried the moogoo cream for cradle cap but I use their shampoo myself as i get eczema on the back of my head. David has cradle cap but mild but mchn suggested trying it seems to have minimised it but i haven't used it for a long time yet. but seems to be doing the trick

Phoneix good to know that there is some light at the end of the tunnel with the fussy feeding David's showing.

Helen- i think i won't worry about his flattening head for now see how it goes, as it wasn't our usual child nurse

jb i use moogoo on everything did not think of cradle cap but it works a treat on my eczma too

just popping in to say that chelsea has started laughing! LOL its so funny and cute, she gives herself hiccups from them! hehe

Hollo how cute!
I love it when Kodi laughs, not that it happens very much her laughs are more silent now lol

Linda slowly starting to feel more human :)
Yay for Miss C's sleeping. That is great i hope she continues it for you.

Treena- Kodi loves sitting up, which is why i'm always bumbo for her. I'm lucky she has very good head control & i can leave her in it for awhile.

Hi to all the other mummies & babies :)

We get the laughs that end up in hiccups here as well haha

Awe how cute are the giggles!!! Josh will start giggling and get the hiccups.....so I start laughing and he gives me the funniest look...like "Mummy your so mean laughing at me!!!" lol priceless!!

We are lovin our bumbo here, best thing ever. She loves it and is happy to sit in it for a while as i do stuff. We had a little 2 yo boy here for morn tea and all he wanted to do was sit in, it was very cute :lol:

We have needles next monday, cant believe how fast the next lot of vaccinations have come around, i hope its goes as good as last time.

Charlotte is a bumbo fan too

She is trying hard to say hello and copies to her best. Think there was something that sounded like Mum today when she was upset beacuse I was working

Hicups Lauging and Talking happening in her rocker right now just too cute :)

Hi everybody! I've been super busy the last 2 weeks trying to get 2 huge assignments done - they're finally finished and in the post :) Still trying to catch up on my sleep though because i was staying up till around 12 or 1 every night then waking up at 6.

Alexandra was 3 months yesterday, got her weighed and she is 7.32kg. She is giggling and squealing and sticking her tongue out all the time. She has rolled from back to belly a few times but doesn't seem interested in going from belly to back. She loves to talk to her grandparents on the phone, we put them on speaker phone and she makes so many different noises and won't stop to let them talk :) very cute

Hope that everyone else is doing well, i should be around more often now that i have the time

Been slack too - sorry everyone.
Got sick with the flu then had visitors - back to normal now!

Wow - everyones bubs are doing so well, it is great to hear.
We love the giggling and chatting, it is so cute.
Got the rolling from back to side, but not tummy yet, still trying to hold his head up on his tummy, that will come soon I am sure.

Oh yes, we love the Bumbo too.
Super curious too, has to be involved in everything which is cute.

Funkeefrog - hope your assignments go well.
Kellbell - Good Luck with the needles

Hi everyone!

Congratulations on Chelsea rolling back to front! Imogen kind of looks like she is trying to but hasn't gotten that far yet.

Good luck for Hannah's operation tomorrow. Will be thinking of her and you xo

Hollo Yah for Chelsea rolling :dance:
Good luck for you and Hannah tommorow, hope it all goes well

Kell how quickly has the 4 months gone, Maddi will be 2 in 2 months & i still can't get my head around that lol.

Justine what a great weight Alexandra is, Kodi is weighs 5.5kg, but i'm sure next weigh in she'll be close to 6kg.

Hope everyone else is well :)

wow everyones bubbas are rolling! Susie is prob not getting as much floor tiome cause shes still windy and refluxy but seh'll roll when she is ready!! shes giggling for us now!
weiighed her on wed and she was 11pd15...has only put on 14 iz in 4 weeks, but she is chubby...still a few more weeks till her next nurses appointmemn so will be interestingt to see how she goes!! shes grown to 56cm...so I guess shes a shorty atm too lol!

shes still doimg ok most nights too, last few nights have ad between 6 and 8 hour block of sleep so that feels nice!

cant believe she'll be staring solids soon! haing a tupperware party soon to get some of their ice cube trays for freezing mashed foods

Miss C has only rolled twice

Gp has us starting her on solids she has done rice ceral and now pear good girl

Weight is 6kg no idea on length

Linda how come the GP wants Miss C on solids?
If Kodi doesn't start having good weight gains, they want us to start her on solids.
Are you planning on doing anymore amber necklaces soon?

Mrs C yay on the good nights sleep. hope Susie's keeps it up for you & Kodi is 61.4cms :)

Well my daughter is 4 months!
(in 3 hrs and 14 minutes)
We have started rice cereal and some apple and pumpkin, she really likes it

Our old preg thread is open for 2010, we were all getting our positive preg test this time last year now we have 3 almost 4 month old babies :o

hey klell, i was thinking the exact same thing the other day! LOl we were pregnant this time last year! :-) goes by very fast hey!

hannahs op went well, the worst bit was the gas mask getting her to sleep. when she woke she was a distressed and upset but it didnt last long. she has her hand bandaged for 10 days so thats a bit of a pain. she is good though.

chelsea is still plodding along :-)

Mo GP said she was showing signs she was ready so start her it will also help with iron if she is found to be anemic which I hope not but is genentic.

I will PM you re amber

Charlotte has pears today with her rice ceral and loved it.

This time 12 months ago I was sick on IVF drugs :lol:

Ella's Nanna made her a cake and bought her a present for being 4 months old, i think she might be a little bit spoilt :lol:
It was really sweet though!

ohhh too cute

Linda thanks for getting back to me, Can't wait to see it :)
Hope Miss C isn't anemic & it's good that she likes her food.

Kell how cute & hope Ella's needles don't hurt too much today.

Hollo so glad everything went well with Hannah's op & good to hear Chelsea is doing well.

Nothing new here, My milk supply is right back up which is a relief & i get Kodi weighed on Thursday.
I'm sure her weight gains will be right up as-well now i'm starting to feel better :D

Hi to all the other Mums & Bubs.

ohh mo i hope so

I bet Mo that Kodi gets a great weight this week:D

Ella was 66cm and 7.4kg today, my little Buddha
She was great getting her needles, she has been her happy self this arvo, hope she still feels good tonight

hope evrybody else and there bubbas are good :D

Mo, glad to her you are feeling better and your milk is up! YAY

kell- thats a great weigh in, i have booked chelseas 4month needles for 3rd august. i have a feeling her weight gain has slowed a bit cause just lately i reckon she feels lighter.

is anyone elses hair falling out? i kinda remember it falling out a lot after having hannah but this is ridiculous! its like i am molting! eeeew!

Good luck Mo with Kodi's weigh in tomorrow :D, hope it all goes well

Hollo love your new ticker - very cute with your girls :dance:

thanks kell, i have been meaning to mention yours too, soooo cute! :-)

it was good to meet some of you gals today at the BB meetup, your bubs are so gorgeous!

a bit of a woohoo- chelsea was layin on the floor this arvo sucking her finger looking a bit sleepy so i picked her up and put her in her cot (wide awake) and she went to sleep by herself! oh my goodness, i never thought that would happen, it never happened with hannah til she was over a year old! LOL but.. a bit of a boo hooo tried it again for her next sleep, nah she didnt have it! bugger!

Thanks i love that photo of her, she is very cute but then i am a touch biased :lol:
Must be great having two little girls!
Thats what i want a couple of girls
Does Hannah like having a little sister?

It was lovely to meet you and your girls. I can't believe how much Imogen and Chelsea look alike!! When she was playing on the floor while you were getting ready to leave, I was stunned by how similar they are!

jitterbug- LOL i know, that what i thought when i first saw immy. they could pass as twins i reckon! LOL

kellbell- yep she loves being a sister, at first there were a few attention seeking issues but the older chelsea gets (dunno if its cause she smiles and laughs and is more alert or cause hannah is just more used to having her around) but they are playing together. hannah lays with her on the play gym and rattles toys to her, sometimes i put chels in hannahs room on the floor and hannah will play around her, chatting to her as she goes while i go and do some housework. chelsea absolutely adores her too, she will just smile and smile and hannah and half the time hannah doesnt even notice! it is harder with two though, hannah still has to wait a lot for things, poor thing! :-)

Kodi had a great weight gain, She now 5.9kg & 63cm long :)
She does have to see a Dr about her head circ as her head isn't growing, It's only grown .2cm in 2 months. You can tell by looking at her she had a small head, but i never thought i'd have to worry about it. Hopefully it's nothing to stress over.

Kell, i love(most of the time) having 2 girls. Maddi is a lot like Hannah, but being younger than Hannah, Maddi gets so jealous & doesn't like it when she has to wait for things so she'll take it out on Kodi. Most of the time M loves her little sister tho.

Hollo & JB glad you both had a good time

:dance:Yah for Kodi's great weight gain :dance:

Hi all,
Doing well here, David had his 4 mth jabs Tuesday which didn't go to bad. Last time the rotavirus made him all spewy this time it was his bottom end with diarohea. Thankfully that seems to have gone/eased. He has been feeding much better since I've been expressing and the odd formula bottle its taken the pressure off too as hubby can feed him as well. David was fussing so much at the breast we were all getting very stressed out. I'm curious of how his weight has gone as got 4 month check next week (a bit early cos we're off o/s next weekend).

Hubby and I have started chatting about trying for second bub, thinking summertime when David is 8 months old so would be 17-18mth age difference. What do people think is best age gap between kids, as there is 9.5yrs between me and my elder sister and 6yrs between me and younger sis. Hubby seems to think 18-24 mths is good gap as that whats between him and his bro and they get along well. In a way it seems far away as he is only 3 mths at the minute but at the same time quite soon as well as time is flying!

Phoenix and Hollo- i noticed you both have two bubs how do you find it with them both being young.

thats great Mo, glad that kodi had a great gain. try not to stress about the head circ, i'm sure it will be fine! :-)

auzzie.chick- i think our age gap is great, hannah was 2 and 8months when chelsea came along, to tell you the truth i wouldnt have handled less of an age gap! hannah was pretty much toilet trained, good language skills, able to get her own food out of fridge and do other things for herself. but i know heaps of people who have a 12-24months age gap and they love it, so it just depends. personally almost 3 years is great for me!

We have an 18 month age gap here & honestly it's hard but you manage. Once you get a routine it's much easier.
I think being pregnant was much harder with a under one, i couldn't rest when i needed to & M/S was shocking! The end result was worth it tho ;)
If we do try for a 3rd i think we will wait till Kodi is at least 1yrs old this time, only because life is so full on with 2.

I've Booked Kodi in for her 4 month needles on Tuesday, will get the Dr to look at her head while i'm there. I'm not really worried as she is doing well with everything else :)

hey all,

Allyeria had her 4mth needles yesterday no drama only cried for 20 sec and then she was fine. she is 7.8kg and 66cm long. she seems to be growing 5 cm every 2 mths. she is starting to grow out of her 00 dresses and will need 0 jumpsuits very soon. even with nappies she is almost out of the crawlers - she must have a big butt!
still no complete rolls yet but she is still wanting to sit up all the time so we have started to put her in the walker so she can see everything.
we started farax this week and she really likes it.

mo- glad to hear everything went ok with the op!! Yeah for kodi's weight gain :)

aussiechick - we have 5yrs between the boys and jayden was just over 2 when ally came. i think 3 yrs is a good gap i really enjoyed having lachlan very independant by the time jayden came. am still getting used to having 2 so close together as they are both very demanding, but it will work itself out as they get older.

take care everyone
