Babies Born March 1st -15th 2008 #5

bron - yaay Will! he's doing great!!
we gave him some fish with potatoes and carrot. he cried eating it and then threw it all up.. poor bubba. I then ate it and it wasnt nice.. i tasted it earlier but not ate it, ate it. i should have added some cereal to make it yummier. maybe it was too bland for him.

my darling baby has a sore throat.. he sounds like joe ****er.. he woke up today and his voice went funny. im going to go to the chemist tomorrow and ask if he should have anything for his throat. thot of getting some teething gel as well.

oh, he did a caterpillar crawl yesterday! we were at mil's at he lifted his bum and moved his knees forward. he did this a couple of times. eeek.. im so so not ready.. the house is not ready. maybe this could be a blessing in disguise and steve wont leave his crap everywhere????

Prama - Jesse's been doing that for a few weeks now. Digging the feet in & lifting his bum right up trying to get around.
He's getting around a bit now. I have to make sure the girls don't leave anything lying around, coz he's getting too good at getting hold of things he shouldn't have!

The blankets I'm bringing out to put him on are getting bigger & bigger & he's still finding his way off pretty quickly!

Hi girls,

Well back to work for me tomorrow, and I am sooooo organised kehehee washed my hair tonight. Got DJ's rice cereal in bowl, bottles ready, nappy bag packed, my clothes ready to go. kehehee I am sooooo organised. I even pureed some pumpkin!!! My mum is looking after him tomorrow and then my stepmum the other days this week. Doni is going to speak to his work about the creche but my stepmum is happy to look after him for me in the long term if need be.... so that is good.

I took DJ to Gymbaroo today and he loved it, smiling and laughing. We were dancing around and he did a leap out of my arms and I was lucky my arms were quick enough to hold him back.... arghhhh he is going to be an active one for sure..... then he was on his tummy and he tried to get ready to crawl. Just one small creep I was smiling but of course this was the first ever day that he peed on me !!!! It took 5.5 months but he finally did it. They had lots of equipment etc to encourage tummy time. It was great, lots of exercises to strengthen his shoulders, legs and tummy etc :)

Prama - oh no poor Poopy :( It is horrible when they are sick. DJ hasn't managed to get rid of his sniffles, but Dimetap seems to help if he is really blocked up and of course we love the Little Fess. And wow on the caterpillar crawl, looks like he might be crawling soon Wooohooooo but know what you mean about not being ready. I keep saying I need to babyproof house but never get around to it....

Bron - that is great news about Will's progress and what a star holding his own cup. I am trying to train DJ to hold his own bottle with the handles. Getting there..... I think the handles are too far, coz he can hold his bottle for a few seconds by himself.

SJ - congrats on the weight loss and just before your 30th birthday. Hope you have a wonderful birthday sweetie, in case I don't get on here before then. Congrats again. It is hard to lose the weight, I still have a flabby belly, that never seems to dissappear....

Trina - I am actually looking forward to getting dressed up and stimulating my brain. So yeah it will be exhausting but hey I have to take care of me. Oh bugger on Summer getting upset at creche while you were with personal trainer. Well done on your training, you are doing so well.

Skye - hope your dad gets better :)

Well girls, I am going to finish my cuppa and head to bed.

Have a great day girls, and I will let you know how my first day back was.

Shell xxxx

Shell hope you have a fantastic day back at work :) Gymbaroo sounds great

MJ wok up at 5.30 this morning, feed change then didnt want to go back down, ended up taking her into bed with us, where she cooed and chatted... i managed to fall asleep at about 6.30, then my alarm went at 7 - bugger that i thought, i will sleep til 8am, but DH phone rang twice so i just got up... think i will walk around in fog all day.

I hope poopy is feeling better and his sore throat doesnt bother him too much - poor thing

Wow Bron, Will is growing up fast! i hope you are doing OK with everything- im thinking of you :hug:

Whats the weather like with you Skye? has it cleared so Anth can work? must be such a bugger with seasonal work

will be back laster i can hear MJ stirring

HAVE A GREAT DAY BACK AT WORK SHELL

Morning all

My little Summy is all of a sudden not going down easily during the day, I am still wrapping her during the day as she wont sleep otherwise and now she is ready to not be wrapped but if she isn't she just rolls over and plays and crawls all around the cot and just yells and yells. And of course last night she woke up and does what poopy does but in stead of the crying she YELLS so loud but nothing would make her stop so ended up feeding her about 4 times during the night.

She can sit now for long periods, she still falls forward if she reaches too far but sometimes can put her hand out and lean on it. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks for ages its very cute and she can get around the whole loungeroom now which is a pain because i have to check the floor for little toys or fluff or food etc as she finds every crumb and goes play with it or puts it in her mouth, she is growing up way too fast she is going to be a mummys girl she is starting to get upset if she can't see me.

I put some pics in the gallery, i took them yesterday one of her rocking with bare bum.

Good luck today shell, you will be buggered but will get used to it quickly.

SJ yep summy is up between 4.30 and 5.30 nearly every morning and lays next to me babbling makes you so brain dead and not feel like doing anything until mid afternoon (well me anyway :rolleyes:)

Skye i have given up on the blankets on the floor, a few times i have found summy all wrapped up in it hehe funny girl. Hope Anth is back at work crack that whip :cryinglaugh: Do your girls have polly pocket stuff? Mine have so many tiny little toys doll shoes and crap have to be so careful checking the floor cos summy just finds every little thing and is so fast now that she can get to it in a second.

Prama poor poopy:( hope he is ok. It looks so funny when they are up on their toes,
he will be getting around in no time.

Sorry for the long post nice to talk about 'other' things

I've uploaded some photos of Jazz that we took on Sunday.

sorry didnt do personals yest.

poopy's throat is worse, hardly slept and now has a cough. taking him tohis gp this afternoon. he still seems to be squealing from the bottom of this throat..

sj - you go girl!! fantabulous!!!! so proud of you!
how's your day going? hope you're not too tired..

trina - geez, the girls at the gym dont have to be baby experts, but you'd think they'd have some common sense. can you say somthing to the management?

yeah, we hardly slept last night, as soon we put him back in his bassinet he'd cry again. so in the end, we did what we didnt want to do.. we took him into bed, and he managed to settle down. we were just too tired. he did the same at 6ish. i put him in bed cos i just couldnt cope getting out of bed over and over again.


shell - hope you're having a good time at work, enjoy your peaceful lunch!!

i got back fr the osteo just now and he said one of my disc is drying out because the others are compensating that, i asked if all this could cause bf problems and even PND. he said yes. I guess a bad back is a contributing factor.

hehe, im in tracks all day and wear jeans when i go out. we can wear jeans to work so hehe not much will change. but nice to wear a nice top and some makeup..

better go. poopy's crying

Hi girls.

First day at work was great and I had two coffee's uninterrupted and ate my lunch which was still warm. Didn't have to worry about feeds or nappy changes, but I did miss him heaps. I have two photos up on my desk so I can see him while I am at work :) He was soooo good for my mum but I think he is starting to sense when he isn't in his own environment or when I am not with him. Mum took him for a walk in the pram and he looked shocked and looked around for me kehehehe so cute :) he expected to see me :)

SJ - I have had a few mornings like that and it wrecks you.... How did you survive your day? It is hard once they are in a good routine and then they break it....

Prama - how is Poopy feeling? how did you go at GP? Poor bubba I hate seeing DJ sick :(

Trina - oh that is sooo cute of little Summer.

I will have to check out pics Danni and Trina :)

Not at work tomorrow that is my day off Woohoooo so have mothers group and Doni and I have plans afterwards.
Shell xxxx

Hi guys.

Trina - WOW!! She is growing uo too fast! When Bri started crawling it was hands & feet! So she had her bum right up in the air when she used to rock!
I think Jaz has some polly pocket stuff, but those things usually fall to the bottom of the toy box & stay there. Its more beads & stuff lately. I just either vacuum them up or sweep them & they slowly disappear.
He's getting around so much more just in the last 24 hours. & getting more & more determined to get what he wants.

Shell - My Dads fine. He was up & walking around by the time we got there at about 11.30. I dunno. He might have probs, but it really doesn't worry me too much. He hasn't treated us very well over the years.

More Anthony than me. He actually threatened to kill him 5 years ago. We split up for a few weeks & he did it just after we got back together.
Some times they are really good mates, other times (more when Dad's showing off in front of mates) Dad rules the world & Anth can't do a thing right. He uses him as his run around/slave. Most of the time Anth lets him do it, but he does say something lately.
He treats us kids like we are here for him. Rings us up out of the blue to drive hours to pick him up from somewhere. & it usually ends up being me, coz everyone else is at work. So off I go with the 3 kids for a great day in the car.
I'm over it.
Sorry, vent over.

Anth's back at work today. Work is starting to pick up again now. Winter is usually pretty quiet, but as long as the rain stays away during the week things are looking good.

Prama - I hope poor Poopy feels better soon. When Jesse had a sore throat I just made sure I fed heaps & gave him drinks of water too.
I hope you feel better soon too. Your back sounds painful.

Danni - cute pics!


Jesse is sitting alot better now too. He looses his balance pretty easily when distracted though. But he was sitting & eating happily on SIL's table for a good half hour. I had my hand behind him paranoid he'd fall, but he didn't.
I was really p*ssed with Anth (again). The twit had Jesse on the floor in front of him, then went in to the bathroom. He left a pair of scissors (he reckons they fell) on the floor. I was cooking tea & went to check on Jesse & found him playing with them! They were open.
I stormed into the bathroom & threw them at Anth telling him to effing grow up. I was so p*ssed.
Just so you know these things don't normally happen. I'm pretty sure they did fall, but they shouldn't really have been left down anyway.
Anyway. I've had my winge. I even winged about Dad. That's something I try to pretend doesn't exist to stop myself getting worked up & stressed. Oh well.

Sorry guys. Thanks for listening.

Jazz was really good in the morning at daycare today but then she got very unsettled and refused to have much to eat/drink, I think it's coz her gums are hurting. She was much better after I gave her some panadol & teething gel.

shell - glad you had a good day at work! and nice you're having a break tomorrow to have a rest, well rest from work at least. so sweet that dj is looking for you.
poopy;s getting cheeky, as soon as i leave the room he cries. this afternoon he was asleep in his bassinet and i went to check on him. he woke up after 5 minutes, i was sneaking in and he was looking around and playing by himself, and as soon as he saw me, he started crying.. aaarrgggh.

it will be nice to have a webcam at work so you can see what he's doing at home!

skye - so sorry to read abt your dad and anth. :hug: sounds like some days are hard..
what are polly pocket stuff.
wow on jesse sitting!! they are changing so quickly so much arent they!

took poopy to his gp, and looks like he has a throat infection... he sounds like joe ****er now.. his cries are more heartbreaking now...

im going to go to bed. i had a bad day.. i think the lack of sleep is making my pnd worse. i have all this energy i need to vent out but dunno where to channel them.

Prama - Polly Pocket is a little doll set. The doll herself is about 2cm tall. Then she has her own little house sometimes with furniture & it all comes in a little case big enough to fit into your pocket!

Hope your PND starts to come good soon. I've been there with both the girls & I feel like I'm going down that track again, but trying hard to avoid it!

thanks skye - i hope you dont.. it's so crappy, im having highs and downs, and i dont feel like me sometimes.

gee, i never knew dolls were so tiny.. i would loose little bits and then get annoyed w myself and spend hrs looking for them....

morning...
