thsnks danni! only a few days left!
hey girls,
we just noticed DJ has a black gum on the top area, and a friend said it is just because a tooth is coming through, and it has probably erupted into a cyst, which is fine, and would explain why when I have fed him his solids all day he has acted like he has had brain freeze haha I will keep an eye on it, and might just take him to the doctors tomorrow afternoon just in case :)
He only just went to sleep after being awake for 6 hours, stays awake so much longer now..... Hoping he will now just sleep right through tonight, but I doubt it. If I put him down earlier he still just wakes up around 9:30-10........
Hope you are all well.
Better go

Hey Shell,
I hope DJ is still asleep! I haven't seen a black spot on gums before, hopefully it will be fine.
Caitlin is having a rush of teeth over the last couple of weeks and she is really not eating well. You can see that her 2 teeth on either side of her top front teeth are just below the surface so won't be long until they are through and then hopefully she will be eating better. She got weighed a couple of weeks ago and was 9.1kg's. This dropped her from 50% to 33% She has only been putting on 30g a week when she should be putting on 60g so we have to go back at 15 months for an additional check up to be on the safe side. I think it is just because she has had a growth spurt so has thinned out. In the next month I am sure she will fatten up again!
Hey Jo - great to hear from you again, sorry e missed caitlins Birthday, i was thinking not so long ago that it would be coming up.
Cant believe that our lives totally changed sooooo much about a year ago. Fingers crossed that she was just in the middle of a growth spurt, MJ is like that she thinns out and gets taller then chubs up again, not that there is much chub on her, she is a bit like her Dad in that side of things.
Prama - 2 days to go! OMG!!! How is work going?
Shell, Mj will wake occasionally at 10pmish, but all i do now is give her a quick pat (like 15 secs) and she is back asleep, she does the same usually at 1am and 3am and is usually up at 6.30am
I am feeling less stressed over it now and she seems to go to sleep better.
The other thing i had been doing was give her her night feed about 40mins before bed, well then there were problems, now she has a feed one side, change nappy and into sleep suit then feed other side... then we close the blinds, switch the music on and give 'ratty' a goodnight kiss and cuddle then down into the cot (awake)... quick pat on the bum, then i leave my hand on her back til she is asleep... since changing this she has gone to sleep within 2 mins of going down and NO CRYING!!! its been great, it was doing my head in her crying as soon as we were in her room or anywhere near the cot.
She is at Mums tonight so we will see how she does there, hope she goes OK, Mum will do the same thing with her but obviously bottle feed her EBM :lol:
After speaking with a few friends, i have come to accept that night waking is the norm for most babies this age, and honestly even on the days that i am working, she settles so quickly that its not really a problem... obviously it would be great not to be woken at all, but its a small price to pay IMO...
Skye - belly dancing huh??? you have prompted me, i have a belly dance DVD and i am oing to put it on right now and see what its like.
DH birthday tomorrow, her is really down about it, have made a treasure hunt for him to find his pressie!
speak soon
hi girls, quick one.. i'm still not well. think it';s another tummy bug. was throwing up all day yest, better today but no appetite still.. going to go to bed soon.
thanks sj - just after midnight, early morning of the 13thlast year i was having BH which turned out to be contractions later on. i went to hossy at 4pm and was told i was 1 cm dilated and went back at 9pm and was 8-9cm dilated.. cant believe it was a year ago.!!
i remember posting - "I may or may not be here' wow, it's a yr already!
going to mil's tomorrow morning to make the cake. she's baked it so we'll do the deco. hope it turns out ok.
im so worried it'll rain on sat, i suppose if it does, we'll have to cancel.. :(
sorry for no personals, will try my best tomorrow.
Prama - Hope everything goes well tomorrow with the birthday. Caitlin's party was on a 35oC day (the 3 days before were over 40oC so we were thankful!). It was such a crazy day! I attempted my first novelty cake and it didn't turn out too badly! It was a Giraffe - here is a link to it on my facebook page Login | Facebook - I am not sure if you will be able to see it?!
All the best tomorrow Prama!
I'm leaving work early today so I can spend a bit of time with Jazz and pack some things for her as she's going to Grumpy & Gran's (my parent's) for the weekend. Hopefully we'll get a good sleep tonight. Have to be on the other side of town at 10am to take photos of the bride & bridesmaids getting ready.
Hi girls,
You know this week is the first week I have started to feel a bit of separation anxiety for DJ. Normally I can't wait to get to work for the break. But in the last few weeks I just would prefer to stay at home and snuggle up to him or play games. He is just going through such an adorable stage and all we want to do is hug him and play with him. I haven't stopped thinking about him all morning so much so that I am thinking about his first birthday..... kehehe and when I start thinking I really start thinking. Been trying to think of a good first birthday present for him keheee not too much, just 1 big thing and few little things. We are just going to have family and very close friends over to our place on the Friday night (of his birthday) for cake and coffee and finger food. Don't want to do anything flash for his first birthday since he still doesn't know what is going on yet. I will make more of a bigger deal next year when he knows what it means :)
Ohhhhh I miss my baby boy :( *cries*
The last two nights we have been able to put him down between 7-7:30pm and he is sleeping right through. The first night he grizzled at 2am but was fine when I went in there to settle him down and then woke at 5am for bottle and back to sleep until 7:30am, then last night bed at 7:30pm then woke at 7am this morning :) I was sooo happy :) He is finally sleeping through and going to bed earlier. Now I just have to wean him off being patted and rocked to sleep because it is frustrating for the carers at daycare. He won't sleep in the cot at daycare, but just falls asleep on the cushions in the play area. When they put him down in the cot he just stands up and won't sleep. So this weekend I am working on that, have to get him out of the habit even if I find it comforrting.
Prama - all the best for tomorrow hun, it will be a wonderful day for Poopy - make sure you take heaps of photos especically of the cake. I am going to make my own cake for DJ too, not sure how I will go... .Thinking of doing a test run first....kehehe
SJ - that is great with MJ's sleeping, sounds like she is much better. I think once they hit the 11 month mark they seem to just sleep better don't they?
Danni - good luck for the wedding photography over the weekend :)
Jo - I will check out the photos. I don't think I have you as a friend on facebook so I will add you :)
Well girls, I am off to the gym so chat soon. Big hugs
Shell xxx
Oooh Prama! One day to go!!!
So exciting!
SJ - The belly dancing was...interesting. Heaps of fun! At the end the teacher got us to lay on the floor & think about nothing for about 5 minutes with our eyes closed.........I got up with a huge headache! The only time I lay quietly with my eyes closed & think about nothing is to sleep! I don't think my head was happy to have to get up again!
I'm enrolling in a tafe course soon. I'm doing a Statement on Attainment in Medical Administration. I'm doing it through OTEN so I don't have to go to Tafe. Just need some motivation. Hopefully in 12 months I'll be finished & Jesse & I will both be ready for me to go back to work. Bri will be at school by then too.
The weather is horrible here. Raining all night & most of today. & bloody cold! I hope it goes away soon. Or Prama if you want you can send your rain here for the day, then take it back on Sunday, lol!
& its just started again!
All these birthdays! I can't believe they are all one soon!
We've all almost survived the first year!!
I forgot to say, I got a letter last night from the hospital next to work saying my specialist appointment for my bum issue is 24 Feb! I can't believe I got in so quickly!
Also glad my boss didn't question it when I told him I had to have 2 or 3 hours off that day to see a specialist. If he had I would have just told him it's personal anyway.
Danni - Good luck for the wedding tomorrow. I am sure it will all go smoothly and all the guests will be asking for your phone number!
thanks everyone! after so much drama, we managed to get a scout's hall up the road from us, and it's got a huge backyard too. we can still have a party and if the weather's good, we can be outdoors. such a relief!
jo - omg.. LOVE the cake!!! that's soo good!!!!
and caitlin's so so gorgeous!!! be careful of boys! lol
the feb thread girls, we all exchanged b'day cards, it was really nice.
oh and poopy made steve and me a Valentine days' card at day care!! i almost cried when i saw it.. it's got his little hand print on a heart shaped card, with pom pom ball thingies, and inside a picture of him at day care. sooo cute.. sigh!!! hehe.. makes day care worthwhile now..
thanks danni - yaay on your photo job!! you are really good, and glad you got ur appointment for your bum so quick :P
shell - they are getting more and more fun arent they!!
got pictures of cake in process but will take more tomorrow and upload them.
skye - wow belly dancing!! great for the figure!!
good onya for going back to tafe, sounds like a great course, what does it entail.
Good news on the venue. It looks like it is a great solution covering all bases with the weather!
I am proud of my cake effort! It turned out a lot better than I expected - I may even give one another go next year!
As for the flirtatious Miss Caitlin, she has already worked out how to get someone's attention and then reel them in - very manipulative but hilarious to watch!
:happybirthday:Have a greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat day Lakshman
Happy Birthday Poopy! Have an absolutely wonderful day with lots of cool pressies!
Hi Everyone,
It's been forever since I spoke to you all :)
First things first!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY POOPY!!!!!! :D
Jake is going well, he has 6 teeth, 4 top ones (which he got all at once over chrissy) and two bottom ones. He's been crawling since just before chrissy and is now standing up on everything and walking the furniture! He is still unsteady on his feet if you ask him to walk anywhere so I don't think he will be walking very soon :) which is good for me LOL He loves to play with the ball and throws it all the time for me.
We are going to start trying for another baby sometime in April/May which will be interesting....not all that keen on the idea but I want to get it over and done with earlier rather than later.
Other than that nothing much of interest going on, it's flooding here and we have no fresh food but we will all survive LOL
Cheers
Lisa
thanks everyone! despite all the hiccups, it turned out to be a great success!!!
it rained all day and so so glad we got the scout's hall.
i think all the kids had fun too. we had bought a jumping castle one ebay, new one cheap.. so the kids loved it, even the little ones. it was a rush cos we didnt manage to get all the food yesterday cos we only gt the hall at 6pm, so we were running around getting stuff the barbie. we didnt get any yest just in case we had to cancel.
anyway, lakshman was spoilt rotten, he got lots of pressies, hugs and cuddles. and he loved his cake, and trying to grab it. but when we gave him a piece he spat it out! lol
anyway, i'm going to bed soon. so so tired..
(cos he woke up at 3am teething and fever)
thansk again everyone for the wishes!
Sounds like Poppy had a good day. Happy birthday to him!
The wedding was fantastic! I worked my butt off for about 15 hours! Great photos, I'm really happy with them and will have one going into the Adelaide Advertiser in the next couple of weeks! I was also asked by another couple to do their wedding in October 2010!
I'm very sunburnt though. I was so busy fussing over everyone else that I forgot about me. I hope I get a tan, but I'll probably just go back to my usual shade of white as always.
