Babies Born March 1st - 15th 2008 #2

**all girls** · June 16th, 2008, 09:14 AM

Glad the trip went well Prama and poopy was a very good boy by the sound of things.

Shell have fun at work showing DJ off they will all fuss over him i'm sure.

I am off for another flogging at the gym, hopefully i will feel fairly normal this time bloody cold!!!! Nothing like trying to get fit when you aren't 100%. It always hurts when you have had a few weeks off, very frustrating when you start to get somewhere then get sick and have to start all over again.

Summy didn't sleep too well last night, i ate lots of veges last night trying to be healthy, hope they don't upset her tummy

such a PIA cos salad and veges give her wind but what do you do?????

Hope you all have a good day, it's horrible here and i have the biggest pile of washing which i have to carry out to the laundry in the rain.

All girls - It's finally stopped raining here!I've got about 8 loads of washing to catch up on. & that doesn't include stripping the beds. Not looking forward to it. Will be good to finally have some clean clothes though!
Have fun at the gym. Well, try to.

On thurs Jazz is having her first trip to the movies. I can't wait!

Yesterday I suddenly felt really overwhelmed so I said to matt that I had to get out the house for a while and needed to be by myself. He looked after Jazz and I felt heaps better! He's getting more confident with her now.

Hi girls,

I took DJ into work and they loved him and he had a mini chuck on one of the girls, luckily she was a mum so totally understood. He was a little unsettled but he was just overtired, and finally slept and just fed him and he is back to sleep. I spoke with my boss about returning to work 3-4 days per week and she said that was fine and just to let her know what days I will work etc she also said she is flexible on my hours which is fantastic!!! She has a 1 year old so totally understands what I am going through. I told Doni about my visit to the office and he wants me to return to work sooner than September but I don't want to. I am not ready yet, want to enjoy my time with DJ and go back first week of September. Men!! they just have no idea!!! And anyway Doni's work's creche is not even set up yet, well doesn't officially open until July anyway

kehehe

Trina - it is frustrating knowing what to eat because it will cause bubs to have wind. I find it frustrating and don't worry too much about it anymore because when I checked out the list of fuss free foods, they even list chicken and beef, and I think to myself what are you supposed to eat - nothing??!!!! I had heaps of veges last week in a soup, and DJ got lots of wind but he is starting tto deal with it much better.

Prama - sounds like you are having a great time over there!! missing you as well. Yeah I went today but Ness decided to cancel Monday's - not many people attend on Mondays. Tuesdays are fine with me anyway. Miss our coffee catch-ups already.

Skye - hope Bri gets better real soon

it is horrible to see the kids sick

Danni - have fun at the movies with Jazz this week.

Well i better go and get some housework done before my hubby thinks I do nothing all day. haha

Cheers

Question about your babies and their farts: Are they getting smellier? Now that Jazz is going for 1-2 days without pooing her farts smell terrible! Is she the only one?

**india44** · June 16th, 2008, 08:35 PM

Danni Will has only ever pooed every 3 days or so and as long as 6 days and right from the start he farted like a trooper and smelt like a dog *L* it was embarassing and now even worse becasue when he farts he lets out a little cry then a giggle or a smile if you are with him as if to say how proud he was of it.

**shell_120308** · June 17th, 2008, 08:24 AM

DJ poos every 1-2 days and yep his farts are very smelly so much that I always think he has done a poo but no poo just a very smelly fart haha

**Sammiejane** · June 17th, 2008, 08:55 AM

Prama - glad the trip went well, it must be so lovely to be with your enormous family again, i am sure that Poopy will settle with the heat soon.

Trina i ate fruit salad last night and MJ was up at 3am for a feed, she is needing an extra feed ver ight this week, either midnight or 3am- she must be growing, hopefully its not the fruit as it was awesome and i having more today!!!

I have no washing line atm, we are re doing our back porch and that is where our line was, so its clothes horse until the weekend at least - ahhhhh, its beatuiful weather too which makes it even more annoying!
BJ i hoped you managed to catch up with your washing - im not looking forward to next week!

**all girls** · June 17th, 2008, 02:37 PM

been trying to post since last night!!!!!!! so frustrating.

Yep SJ lots of washing only got 3 loads done so far as it is taking forever to dry in the dryer as it is about to die

it wont dry on the clothes horse i did it last week and it took 3 days to dry and smelt all musty so i had to wash it all again... Yum on the fruit salad... the veges have given both me and Sumzy wind, sux cos i really enjoyed them and i have been craving too.

Sumzy has stinky farts sometimes depending on what i have eaten.

Shell, nothing like a bit of spew on your work mates!!! Better his than yours i say hehe.

I have enjoyed my quiet day today, its been great, watched bootmen Adam Garcia grrrr he's hot!!! i have seen it so many times now. Nearly time to get the girls from school geez it goes fast!!!!!!!

Back later if i can

**shell_120308** · June 17th, 2008, 09:19 PM

Evening girls,

Hope you are all well. I am pretty good, just put DJ down to sleep. Doni is away for the night in Newcastle (thankfully only 1 night) so the TV is on Foxtel - channel E

DJ is good, a bit unsettled this afternoon and feeding every 2 hours and this is on formula, so think he has hit another growth spurt.

Took DJ out to get some groceries, so used the trolley seat for babies and put my nappy change mat down on the seat and he just sat there all smiles and laughing and looking around each aisle. Absolutely loved it

Going to get one of those trolley mates, because I was always worried about him touching the trolley seat - so many germs

Trina - sounds like you had a great day and yeah I agree on Adam Garcia - loved him in Coyote Ugly.

SJ - I keep forgetting to get DH to put our clothes line back up because he took it down for when we had kids over playing soccer in backyard for bbq. Mind you I just use our dryer to death. Been too wet in Sydney to get things dry outside

Well girls, I am going to get back to relaxing while DJ sleeps.

Chat soon

Hey guys.

I watched Bootmen today too. Well most of it. Was trying to get some house work done at the same time. Anth sat there & watched the whole thing though!

I used to use my dryer for every load of washing, but after about 2 years doing it I decided to get off my lazy butt & use the line - & try to save myself some money! Hopefully all the bending down will pay off & I'll stop feeling my belly wobble when I walk! It feels so wrong considering I don't actually have a belly there.

**all girls** · June 18th, 2008, 07:21 AM

Is anyone else having probs getting on to BB or posting?

DH is going away for 3 weeks next week he's off to Spain sailing alright for some hey! It's his birthday today he's gone to work already before i even got up!! It's Tahnies birthday on Sat she is turning 5, she is so excited not sure what to get her though, they all have so many toys might get her some jewellery although that would probably get lost in the bedroom jungle.

BJ don't you wish the jelly belly would disappear? I am trying so hard not to worry about it too much cos i know it takes quite a while to go.

Shell hope you enjoyed a nice quiet night.

I'm off to get lunches ready.....

**shell_120308** · June 18th, 2008, 08:39 AM

Trina - yes I have had problems getting onto BB for the last week and my posts are always chewed up and never make it online. Drives me nuts especially when I type a long reply and then it disappears.

My mothers group is meeting today at Rouse Hill Library for Baby Bounce - looking forward to it. Hope DJ is good, last few mornings he has been a bit cranky. I am wondering if that is because his routine is out by an hour, do you think that could be it? This morning he was fed at 6am and then was hungry at 8am - doing all of the hungry cues so I knew he was hungry so I fixed up a formula feed and he took 70ml. I think he has just hit another growth spurt..... Ah the joys hey???

Better go, can hear him crying.....

Really sad this morning my mum and dad have gone away for 7 weeks. I have been teary about it all week and didnt sleep last night Sounds silly I know but my mum has been such a great support and companion since Will has been born I feel sort of scared that my back up is gone ifkwim. Not that hubby isnt a great support but he works all day and I cant bounce alot of stuff of him or just go shopping and have a coffee.Its also nice to watch Will with his grandparents and he will change so mcuh by the time they come back. I know some people dont see ther parents at all or not for a very long time and am being a bit of a sook about it.
Our mothers group is meeting today for the first time out from the community health centre so it will be interesting to see how it goes. Is cold foggy and wet here but the cafe we are going to is cosy and has a lovley open fire and am looking fwd to their home made hot chocolate. Making the most of it as a girlfirend and I have made a deal to start back at weight watchers in July trying it get back into a normal eating pattern and is easier when you have support.
Got to go my boy is awake

We are interviewing a couple for family daycare this afternoon and another lady tomorrow afternoon. Jazz slept for about 6 hours last night!!! I however slept for about 4.5 coz I didn't go to bed until about an hour and a half after her. At least now I can turn the monitor off and not get woken by every noise, just by actual crying.
