Second appointment with the Osteo today, hard to tel if there has been much difference so far. She said that the first 24hrs she may be quite grumpy, but she had a streaming cold, sonot sure if it was the cold or the appoint that made her a bit more niggley, not too bad though.
She has been stretching her sleep out to 4 or 5am again which is nice as i get a longer chunck of sleep.
Went to CMHN appoint on Wednesday, she is 66.2cm long (almost at 90th %ile!) and just under 7kg which is above 50th %ile - so really happy about that.
Going to the starting solids talk next friday and they cover baby led solids so i am going to hold off til then.
She is sooooooo ready for it thou
Bron - so glad you got that Bonus, enjoy your hair cut - i went for one yesterday, took MJ with me as there was no way i was going to get any time alone (DH working 12-18hr days again this week and has to work Sat), she was good, had to hold her when i was having the cut, but she played and slept during the colour. DH still hasnt noticed Woohoo for the car seat - we need to get one for my mum too.
Danni - i know what you mean about you want to be the one introducing things. I hope this doesnt sound to harsh, but you need to have consistency for little Jazz, otherwise she will not get it. Unfortunately as you have had to return to work it will mean that you will have to miss out on some new things with her. If you start solids on the weekend, you need to continue it at the same time, this will mean passing it over to the people at FDC etc, for them to continue. It is awful i know, and i know that you want to be as involved as you can, but these are the sacrifices that we make. At least you can prepare the food so that Jazz is having food that Mummy lovingly made for her. Sorry of that sounds harsh
Hope Jazz and Matt are OK and you dont get it too
Right, i think that MJ is ready for a booby call, so i speak to you all later.
Hope you have a great day everyone
SJ, it doesn't sound harsh at all. I know exactly what you mean and hard as it is to admit, it is exactly like that. TBH, I would prefer the FDC lady to be giving her food if it's during the day rather than the centre though but I do have to get some consistancy.
Well, Matt's got Jazz all morning coz they've got their doctors appointment at 11am and then he has to take her to day care in the afternoon coz he's got a job to do. He's started getting some work for his business which is nice. A little extra pocket money.
Well, I'm off. I have training for most of the day.
Jesse has decided lately that if I'm holding him, he wants the boob inhis mouth. Even if he's not drinking from it. At least for the first few minutes anyway.
He's using his hands with alot more confidence now. Grabbing everything, including my watch, which he never really worried about before.
And chewing! On his sleeves, blankets or jumper. He loves to chew on any of those. As long as its material of some sort. He's trying to get my shirt in his mouth now!
He's rolling with alot more confidence now. Instead of going onto his side & just thinking thats far enough, If I can't reach from here I don't need it, he's thinking more if I can see it, I'm gonna get it! & he rolls & tries to move himself closer by lifting his bum & pushing himself forward.
He's looking for the boob again. I only took him off it 5 minutes ago. He's still happy, but he throws his head back facing me when he wants a drink. I think its cute!
Anyone sitting up alone yet?? Jesse can do it for a minute or 2, the leans a bit. Sometimes he will catch himself & sit up a bit again. He's getting there. Both my girls were sitting by now.
Oh & he plays peek-a-boo! He'll hold the blanket over his head & pull it down waiting for us to say peek-a-boo! Its so funny!!
Hows Summer going Trina? Is everything Ok? You haven't been around much lately.
Jazz grabs well. Her hand/eye coordination is getting good. Sometimes she snatches the bottle out of my hand and shoves the teat in her mouth and starts drinking. Chewing a lot too. She often prefers to chew her dummy instead of sucking it.
Found out she has bronchielitus so it's viral - no treatment. Just have to let it run its course and if she has any trouble breathing then we have to take her to the hospital.

Danni, Broncolitis is no fun, but much better than the other 2 possibilities.
Poor Jazz, hope she feels better soon and you dont have to take a trip to the hossy.
Skye, M will suck on anything too - yesterday she was sucking the haordressing wrap, i really didnt like that, most other things i just let her go for.
She is grabbing well as well, sometimes too well, when i pick her up, sometimes she grabs and pinches my neck ouch.
She loves it when i try and eat her and make growling noiss, she laughs and squeals
Another appont at the osteo next week and that should be it, she is really good and apparently her hips are improving which is great. Did i mntion that i was seeing d=someone at the bellybelly centre?
Yep WIll is sitting up a bit too we prop him up with pillows and he usualy falls forward before bacward. He is rooling all over th eplace and I Have had to put a sheet on the floor becasue of the dribble trails all over the carpet.I am looking for a good sized wooden play pen so I dont have to worry about leaving him on the floor. He had some apples mixed with farex after his morning bottle today after having just some apple yesterday. It makes him fart like a trooper and for now am only giving him a taster of solids in the mornings he is also sucking on a rusk I hold it out and say ta and he takes it from my hand and sux on it.I've really been watching for reactions to things and so far he has been good I dont want to overload him his grandpa wanted to give him mashed up baked dinner the other night and I had afit *L*at least want to have only 2 ingredients that I know exactly what he is having as I have seen some terribel reactions at work in kids to certain foods.Am in no great hurry atm as he is a bit off his feeds with the teething thing in full swing. Poor baby has missed both his sleeps in full today as the cement trucks were here again today and the builders have been so noisy.
He has a fascination with books and magazines and really loves catalouges. Today I taped the target catalogue on his roacker and he talked and tlked at it and shook in excetment it was hilarious. Am goint to video it to send to his other grandma who loves books
The leg where I had my clot in after having Will has really flared up and the red line is now about 40cm along around my thigh and red hot. Trouble is the huge dose of antibiotics plays havoc with my system...moan moan moan sorry
Am looking fwd to watching Olympic games opening tonight with a nice glass of wine an dpizza for tea. Hop eyou all have agood weekend
Bron xx
bjrose Will loves peek a boo too though he is only just learnign that he can pull the sheet down as well.
danni I do hope you guys all get better soon that broniolitis can be scary so hope jazz is ok
SJ - Lol - Jesse does that. I put my face close to him & he gets excited & grabs my cheeks, or whatever he can get with his nails & pinches!
He had the strap thing on his rocker in his mouth yesterday. Seeing him with the trolley strap in there today made me feel sick though. God only knows what germs are crawling on them. *shiver*
Bron - Thats a good idea! the mag on the rocker thing. When Jesse gets excited he kicks. He does it so hard on the ground I'm surprised it doesn't hurt!
Well, I haven't BF since I last told you which was 6am on 7/8/08, it's now been more than 48 hours and I don't feel any pain or discomfort at all! If I squeeze really hard then after a few attempts I might get a couple of drops out of one boob but I haven't gotten anything out of the other boob. I'm attempting to sleep without wearing any breast pads tonight. I'll still wear a bra but I'm hoping to stop that soon too. I'm sick of sleeping in a bra!
Jazz was so good today. We went out for a few hours to the city and she fell asleep in the car and then slept for the couple of hours that we were out and then just sat quietly in the car on the way home. She's been making lots of loud happy noises all day which is so cute. Her cough is getting better. She doesn't have severe coughing fits now. Still a few minor coughing fits but they don't seem to be bothering her as much. Also, apart from one time when I got up to put the dummy in her mouth, she slept from 7:45pm until about 7:30 this morning!
sorry I haven't been online, we lost internet connection the other day from the storm.... anyway back online.
We did the City to Surf today and they gave DJ a medal and he took his first bus trip too He was laughing so much today and everyone in the bus was smitten by him and we stopped in to see some friends and they absolutely loved him. Doni is going to take a photo of DJ with Doni's C2S bib on and the medal around his neck. It isn't the first time he has done C2S I did it last year 7 weeks pregnant.
I will do some personals tomorrow just too tired tonight. DJ is going really well though, still teething and no teeth yet..... He isn't sitting up by himself yet either, I always hold him up with my legs behind him. He does push himself up to sit up though, so he is getting the momentum.
Ok girls, I am exhausted arghhhh will do more personals tomorrow.
