JB the end of our last week was ****ty for me too! DH comes home like after 6 pretty much every night and it is really hard feeding, bathing and getting dinner ready with 2 kids. Hannah is super whingy and chelsea is super clingy! sometimes it is unbearable and i too feel like i need to have more patience with them. i think we all get like that sometimes!
Chelsea has a chest infection and hannah has an ear infection! so that is probably why they have both been so hard to handle lately!
TL- cant wait to hear all about your TTC journey!
-
Thanks SP for the Baby Dust!
JB - sweetie post away after reading it all I say she maybe looking at dropping a feed C chews her teats. You are an amazing Mum I have seen you and you do a fab job sweetie.
Love you all so much fellow Mummies and I think we should remember this job is not meant to be smiles all the time like any job
-
Yeah, probably true. It is all a bit of a mess since she has a virus at the moment so I'm worried about her dehydrating and trying to get a lot of feeds into her. Then dealing with the hourly GREEN foul smelly dirty nappies and the nappy rash it has caused. She also has a temp :(
She won't let me put her down, even when she is asleep it is hard because her tummy is sore and her bum is sore so she doesn't want to lay on either! Oh and trying to get a urine sample from a 6 month old is FUN! Holy moly the things you learn as a Mum, hey?
I think she is on the mend, seemed more herself today and her temp has been normal. She is finally sleeping out of my arms tonight... fingers crossed.
-
what has she got JB? like a tummy bug or something? poor chicken! it really does suck when they are sick! especially when you feel like you have to go it alone! so post away!
-
JB i hope Immy is feeling better.
All is going well here, K still wont have solids but i'm not to worried she's still b/fing often enough to keep her happy. She's trying to commando crawl & even getting onto all her 4 now. Can't believe she'll be crawling after her sister soon.
Times goes way too fast!
-
Immy is completely better. Was just a virus, 48hr bug thing. We went through a whole LARGE packet of wipes, you know those huggies ones in the snap lock packet... anyway! Fun, fun... still feeling a bit un-together haha
-
thats great JB!
i know what you mean mo. chelsea gets up on all 4s and rocks back n forth. she is moving forward more like a caterpillar at the moment than proper crawling.
we r going to my 10 yr reunion this weekend then to my parents for the week. cant wait to get some help with the day to day running of ther kids! :-)
-
JB - great to hear things are improving. Understand the feeling 'un together' in the aftermath! Need lots of rest to recover from those sort of episodes.
Mo and Hollo - Wow those bubs are nearly on the full-on move! Miss T rolls around but not up on all fours yet. Maybe having a little sibling is encouraging your girls to get up faster. With big brothers and extended family carrying Miss T around so much she neednt bother moving herself I suppose.

Hey everybody!
I have been reading but not posting much lately. Am flat out organising visas and packing up our entire house to put into storage whilst going to specialists and dentist appointments and trying to entertain and feed a baby. My parents are here for a week from tomorrow and I'm so looking forward to having a break and some help packing and cleaning (I know exactly where you're coming from Hollo :D)
-
SP I'm hoping Kodi doesn't crawl for awhile yet, It's hard enough chasing one kid lol
-
Hi everyone :hello:
Ive been MIA for what feels like forever....I really have no idea what Ive been doing, but Ive been busy doing it lol
I will read back thru and see how everyone is going.....but for the time being, I hope everyone and their bubbas are doing well :)
As for us....we have started seeing a physio cos the family nurse that visits noticed Josh has Left Torticulus (nothing serious, just needs excercises to strengthen the left side muscles) I started going back tot he nurse because the Dr's were really annoying me with the rush me in rush out attitude..plus the nurse will visit us at home which is great cos DH had a change around at work and now Im pretty much carless most days. At his last check Josh was up to 8.6kg and we have started on solids...well mainly just farex and some pureed fruits but he seems to be really enjoying it...not enjoying the nappies tho lol.
I did notice in some earlier posts some bubbas are working on their crawling!!! How exciting!!! So far Josh is just rolling heaps but has someone found reverse and will park himself inbetween lounges lol
Anyway I best go get dinner started...just wanted to pop in and say hi and hopefully I wont disappear as much now that we have more a routine sorted here :)
Hugs to you all :)

It has all gone a bit quiet in this forum. Is there anybody out there?
My best girlfriend had a baby boy on Tuesday. He is 9lb 2 1/2 oz but looks tiny to me. Dont they grow incredibly fast!
FF - sounds very hectic for you at the moment. Hope you get enough rest.
Hollo - how did your 10 year reunion go? I bet everyone was worried about looking heavier and I bet they all were! Were there any really surprising changes in people you saw. Did many of them have families now?
Phoenix - I hope she doesnt crawl until our music studio is finished and I can get all the audio equiptment out of my living areas!
-
Just bumping us back to page 1.
Nothing much happening here, Kodi has so much more personality now. She is always smiling or laughing i really love this age.
I can't believe how close we are to Christmas, i'm really looking forward to it.
Hope all the Bubs & Mums are well.
-
We moved yesterday!! All went fairly smoothly, nothing discovered broken yet although I still have a few boxes to unpack. Imogen has been sleeping in her new room and in her cot so that is new haha.
-
glad to hear the move wasnt too bad JB, and that immy is in her cot! YAY
mo- yep they certainly do have a personality now hey~! chelsea is very giggly and giggles when we tickle her or blow raspberries! :-)
we are back from our holiday now. it was great to get away and have mum and dad there to help out. they took chelsea for a walk in the pram just about every morning. DH is back at work for the first day back today which i am not happy about! gotta get back to reality though i spose.
i have decided to become a tupperware demonstrator which is a bit exciting but also nerve racking. got a meeting tonight and then i have to organise my 4 parties that they make you do in 2 weeks! that is gonna be pretty full on.
hmm.. what else. oh chels is still doing the drag and pull to get around not proper crawling yet. she can get into a sitting position from laying down though the cheeky little thing! she has had conjunctivitis too, it is terrible trying to get those drops into a babies eyes 4 times a day! LOL
hope everyone else is going well.
-
hi all. sorry been MIA here too! I cant believe susie is 6 months old! eating solids, sitting up, showing lots of personality! she and I are both sick atm. both have a cold, Susie has a ratty cough too so we're off to doctors this afternoon! shes rolled a coupleof times but with the wind/reflux she still doesnt spend huge amounts of time on the floor so we just doing our best!
Hollo - v exciting re the tupperware! susie is still only haing milk from the breast so something like that wouldnt work for us just yet...but its something Ive been thinking of for a while now :) good luck with it! yuck to the conj. poor darlings! hope they better soon!
JB - sounds like you had a really rough time, hope all is settled down for you guys now!
Mo - Im loving this age too but missing have a lil bubba too lol! think we'll be looking to start trying for a lil bro/sis earl in the new year!!
Helen - very exciting J is moving backwards!
hi to every1 else, sorry run out oftime. gonna put lil miss to bedand go back myself
-
SP...its crazy how quick they are growing hey!!! I saw a friends 5week old the other day...Im sure Joshie was NEVER that small lol!!
~Phoenix~...this really is a fun age...watching them develop their little personalities and likes n dislikes :) Oh man I am so not ready for Xmas, as I suspected would happen, it really sneaking up on me this year!
JB...hope youre settling into the new place well :) thats great that Imogen is in her own room and cot, I hope she is liking it there!!
Hollo....glad you had a good time away and hopefully easing back into reality wont be too big a drama for you guys....thats the worst part of a holiday huh (that and catching up on laundry lol) Good luck with your tupperware selling...do you know if you can take orders outside the parties (would love to look thru a catalogue, Im a tupperware addict lol) I was looking at some party plan things too....its always those start up parties that stop me tho...very daunting to find that many and DH isnt too thrilled about them!
MrsC...hope you guys are feeling better soon, its never good having a sick bubba, but always worse when mummy is sick too :(
AFM....Im definately missing my tiny little baby at the moment lol (shhh dont tell hubby but getting clucky again lol) Josh is going thru a "no hugs" phase...I think because he is figuring out how to move around etc, he just wont lie still and nap with me anymore :(
We've been experimentng with different vegies for dinner and Josh is having weetbix for breaky now too. Only problem...he is doing three or four foul poo's a day!!! Bleargh!!! after having a regular once a day boy for so long, its taking some getting used to lol.
Still no crawling here, but he will happily sit up and play for ages. No teeth yet either....but still waking many times thru the night, and nearly every hour thru the nite he will scream out even tho he's still asleep....seeing the nurse later this week for shots so hoping she might have some ideas!!
Have you guys started going back to work yet??? Ive really been worrying about this lately :( not sure what to do!!
-
Hollo... glad the holiday went well and you enjoyed a bit of baby-free time! How cool that you are becoming a tupperware demonstrator, I love the stuff. Hope it all goes well for you :)
MrsC... hope you are both feeling better soon, it is no fun being sick!
Helen_au... yep, we are getting the million poos a day lately, too. We were quite spoilt there for a while with one a week but as soon as solids came into the picture it seems like I am forever changing dirty nappies. Sounds like it could be teeth giving him trouble. It sounds like what Imogen did when she got her bottom two... at 4 months! She still hasn't gotten anymore yet haha!!
AFM... We have just started sitting here but she is still a little unstable. No proper crawling but she gets onto her knees and launches herself forward like that to get around. We are going pretty slowly with solids, Imogen isn't too interested. She slept the best she has in months last night; only woke at 1am and 4am. She also spent the whole night in the cot (after a feed and resettle when she woke) so that is such a big yippee for us! DP has this whole week off work so we can really tackle her sleep and get our new place all organised so he has taken DD out this morning so I could have a sleep in and little break but I am starting to wish they would hurry up and get home, getting bored!!
I'm not planning to go back to work at this stage. Our plan is for me to go back to study when DD goes to kindy or if we have another child in between all of that, I will go back when the youngest starts kindy if that makes sense. So got a couple of years to think about what I want to study!
We are still discussing the second child dilemma. I am still scared, DP is still keen. I would love another but I am so worried about the pregnancy and birth (even though my first was completely trouble free.. I think it is that whole lightning doesn't strike the same place twice thing) that I wonder if I will ever be ready... for now we are just waiting... and waiting... and waiting!
Hope everyone is well :)
