Sonia, thanks for explaining. duuuhh me, stupid brain! I blame it on lack of sleep. i think it would be 150ml x 4.6kg / 6 or 7 feeds. Cool thanks. I've been making up batches of 125ml (cos i have those small Avent bottles that only hold that much lol) so i think that should be enough for her feeds using that formula.
Rachel, you clever thing! I didnt even thinkto check about the width of the pram, but some friends have leant it to us so i suppose beggers cant be choosers.
Richelle, I am having a difficult few days with Claire. She has been feral! Hubby reckons its a full moon and thats the reason, but I dont think its a full moon. I think she is just cranky for another reason. Glad I'm not the only one who is too wide for shopping centre aisles lol. I hope no one gets the chicken pox, that would be terrible.
Cass, i hope youre feeling better and Oskar is happier.
Sarah, woohoo on the nappy business, thats great news. Not sure on the rash, but I hope it clears up soon. No, we still have a hungry baby at night. She usually wakes at least twice: the first time she goes straight back to sleep after a feed and change, but the second time she doesnt settle again for ages.
Jessica, hope you havent caught that virus. I hope Tate starts sleeping through - i am waiting waiting waiting for when Claire starts to. Really missing being able to sleep in blocks of more than 2-3 hours.
well Claire is asleep now. She was so cranky last night and we ended up going for a drive as it normaly makes her go to sleep, but she didnt go to sleep, she just sucked on her fist the whole time and made alot of noise doing so! Then was very very cranky when we got back home. i hope she setttles down soon.

Sarah – not sure about the rash. Doesn’t sound like heat rash though as that is not normally raised or itchy. Sounds like allergy, maybe. Yay on the nappy business, you will have to let me know your web address.
Jess – I hope you don’t get sick. Hope all of your efforts pay off and tate sleeps through soon. Which playgroup do you go to? Is that for aidan or tate or you?
Well…we had another good night (sorry girls) although she never sleeps as long when DH is at work overnight. This morning is another story. Won’t sleep in cot for more than 15 minutes, fed after 2 hours, very grizzly. I was battling to keep her in cot but have given up now (after over an hour) and she is asleep in my arms. I suppose she just wants cuddles. She is 11 weeks today…have I read something about a growth spurt around this time? Have mother’s group this arvo, really look forward to it. I am going to walk there this week – hope we don’t get blown away though, it is so windy today, but sunny.
-
Thanks... she is going so much better today already, has decided she will do what babies are meant to and sleep! Total difference to yesterday where she didnt sleep a wink all day until about 7pm! Perhaps your hubby is right Karina and it is a full moon!
Well better go get done what didnt get done yesterday.

OMG I just can't keep up with you ladies!!!
Miss T I think is getting a cold - you can hear the boogers in her nose but they are too far back for me to get them. She's also got a little cough and is coughing at some mucus in her throat. Not sure if I take her to the doc or if I just let her get better herself?? Or is it even a cold?
Cleaned out the bathroom cupboard and I've been selling heaps of stuff on ebay! Up to $130 so far! Not bad for stuff I was just going to throw out! Got a big pile of other stuff to sell but I'm off to Tassie with TJ next week so I will wait till I come back!
Can't wait for the break! DH is really lazy sometimes and it's driving me nuts! I need a break before I really crack the sh**s with him!
xoxoxo

Well tomorrow is T day - testing day! Either the bleeding I had wasn't AF which would be excellent or it was AF and we are pg (not sure how I feel about that at the moment). On one hand I would love to have another baby but on the other hand wasn't really planning on having 2 under 2 :-)
Ari has been a little funny today - keeps screaming for no reason I think her teeth might be moving around as I can see the little tooth beds for her front bottom teeth and her gums are swollen and white. Oh and she has been pooing ALL day, really wishing I had those flushable liners.
My website is nearly there but it's not up and running yet.
Karina - yep Ari is up at least twice but as she goes to bed late she is usually settled until6-7am which is when DS is up anyway.
Natty - Woohoo on the ebay selling and have fus in Tassie

Hi All
Sarah got your email tried sending a reply but it came back to me. Thanks for the photos, i will have a look around Perth and then let you know what I decide. Good luck with your testing tomorrow. How does your DH feel about you maybe being pg again? ALso good luck with your new little nappy business sounds very good.
Nat: Yay for selling stuff on EBay that is fantastic. I am bidding on a sunshade for the pram at the moment.. its in perth so dont have to pay postage. YAY.. let s hope i win. Got 10 hrs to go on it i think.
Rachel: I didnt know they were going through another growth spurt at 11weeks which explains K feeding all the time and longer.
Jessica: K wants more than 150ml the little piggy so i give him the maximum of 180ml so we will see how it goes might reduce him down next week when he hits 12 weeks.. Oh my little man is getting older..
K now weighs 5.72kg at 11.5weeks.
K has been a cranky bum today after mothers group he didnt sleep a wink so now is very very very tired and irritabe. I hope he isnt going to be like this after this last feed which is in 20 minutes. He sleeps till about 7am and loving my sleep so hope that i dont have a crap night with my interview tomorrow.
Well must go and prepare myself for my interview tomorrow and get K ready for his last feed.
Ciao for now.
Son

Well.... we are not pg pheew! Just got bach from pre-prep where Xander's teacher asked if we could give Ari a bath in front of the class, she performed like a little star weeing as soon as I tok off her nappy:-) All in all the kids loved it, esp DS and I now have a little bubba who will probably think it is bedtime and sleep all day :-). Looking forward to this weekend as DH will be home woohoo (touchwood - no doubt we will have a few knocks on the door now that I have said that)
Sonia - good luck for you interview hope it went well and hope you got a good nights sleep! Sorry having email issues try the same start but with @gmail.com at the end

*yawn* Hi everyone.
Well I am officially sick, bugger. Tate is sneezings lots too, so I am in for a great weekend.
Rachel, we go to one in Hallam, it is for Aidan as the kids there are generally his age group, which helps a lot with his social skills!
Tate woke every 4hrs again last night. I fed him at 8pm and he woke just before midnight and I put a dummy in his mouth instead and he slept for another 2hrs, so he definietly isn't hungry, the cheeky monkey. Getting more and more frustrated with DH not helping at night. All I ask for is a little bit of sympathy and to atleast acknowledge I am up 2-4 times a night. And he has the nerve to tell me today 'you need to smile more'. ARGH.
Hi to everyone!
-
Sarah - pheew for you! Glad you got good news. I love the name of your business, very cute! Will be keenly waiting for the site to be up and running. How nice doing a bath for Xander's class Wow, I didn't realise they could teeth so early! That will make breastfeeding interesting.
Nat - well done on your sales. It's amazing what people will buy isn't it! Have fun in Tassie. I'm going to Adelaide next week (Friday) so will be in your stomping ground!
Sonia - that is what I have heard anyway. Your boy is getting big! I have no idea what Grace weighs now as we don't have another CHN appointment until the 8th. The chemists and drs surgeries don't have scales for babies so will just have to wait.Wouldn't be suprised if she is over 6kg as there are a few babies at mother's group that are over 6kg and they look smaller than Grace. The thing with Grace is she is long but not fat, she only has a little waist which is a problem with some clothes as they don't all fit her waist but we need the bigger size for her length. How did your interview go today?
Jess - bugger! How annoying being sick. Tut Tut at your husband, they have no idea really do they!
Grace has gotten herself into exhausted stage this evening with lack of sleep today. I was out most of the day and she just wants to look around instead of sleep! She's so curious. I'm going to get my hair done tomorrow! So excited, haven't had it done since the month before Grace was born! DH is watching Grace for the afternoon and a cut and colour is on the cards for me - have to fancy myself up before we go to SA! The best part is that my sister is doing it so it is cheap - just have to pay for the actual colour that is put on, $30 beats $140! She's an apprentice and did my hair last time, very talented she is. This will be the first time Grace has been left with my DH for more than an hour or so, will be leaving milk and stuff, should be really good for them.
Got 2 more nappies off ebay last night - baby beehinds were selling seconds for cheap, so got 2. Can't wait until they arrive. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
-
Just popping in to say I'm off to Tassie tomorrow (instead of middle of next week) because my step-dad is in hospital with heart problems and I'm going to look after my mum. So I'll be offline for a bit! Hope everyone goes well while i'm absent!!
xoxo
-
HAve a good trip Nat. I hope your step dad is okay.
-
Natty - all the best hope things work out OK
Rachel - yes we are relieved, woohoo on the BBH, I love them, just wish there was a nice cover to go over them as they are such gorgeous nappies. Thanks, I love the name too. Placing my first order next week but the webpage probably won't be up for a while so I will let you girls know what I get first and we can have a bellybelly sale.
Jess - Know what you mean about DH have the same problem here, don't you just wish you could go on strike for a week so they can see what it's like to be constantly sleep deprieved
-
wow! wat alot of chatting... i've scan through post... hope all you are doing well getting lots of sleep (lol) and all the beautiful babies are well...
i've uploaded more picz of izzy... look in sig...
Izzy has been good, had her needles, she cried i cried! but both got over it soon as it was finished... not much else is happening in izzy land...just trying to get photo's organised into some kind of order, instead of a organised mess ;P and looking to start izzy scrap book... We go on plane in 3 weeks, to tazzie... held of for as long as possible now im just missing mum like crazy...
Izzy still won't go to anyone else... which is very tiring sometimes. But it's noice to know that i am one person that can comfort her no matter what the problem IYKWIM?
Anyways lil angel is waking up... Sorry i didn't do personals. try to next time
-
Sarah, how exciting about your webpage, I can't wait until you get it up and running! Thank goodness you're not pregnant, I've been thinking of you and crossing my fingers for you! That would have been a bit of a handful :)
Nat, hope your time is Tassie is fun and that your s/dad is feeling better soon. Yay for the ebay profits!
Rachel, yay on the BBH, I have a purple one but it's such a shame you have to use covers with them (even though the covers I bought are cute). I so need to get my hair cut. Wish I knew someone who did it on the cheap, I might just have to bite the bullet and get it done. Although one of the women in my mothers' group is a hairdresser, maybe I'll drop a hint about needing a haircut and see if she offers to do one on mate's rates!
Jess, you poor thing, it's not fun being sick and looking after a small one - S woke up this morning around 4:30 but I'd fed him about 2 hours previously so just rewrapped him and he went to sleep for another hour! We usually get up around 5 on weekdays so I can't blame him for wanting to get up after that - but anything with a 4 in front of it is just too early!! Maybe you can dump Tate on your DH for an hour or so and get out for a walk or something to clear the cobwebs?
Sonia how did your interview go? I have to make an appt for Sebastian this week for his 3 month checkup, wow can you girls believe it's three months?!! I'll weigh him then, but I think he's putting on a bit of weight as he's growing out of the infant size nappies and is getting into crawlers!
It's a rainy day here in Perth. S is asleep right now - has been doing quite well during the mornings lately with his sleeping, what a relief! Place is a bit of a mess so I'll do some housework and DH will probably help with the washing up later, then I'm going food shopping because I didn't do it during the week! But can leave S at home with M so that makes it a bit easier. Then I want to bake some biscuits and make some meals for during the week! Hope you're all having a good weekend!
-
Rachel, that sounds soooooooo nice. Cant wait to see the new do!
Sarah, yes I would LOVE for DH to truly understand just what my job entails. They try to get it, but they never will. Soooo frustrating sometimes.
I am sniffing and coughing my way through the weekend. Tate fed at 6:30pm last night, woke at midnight-ish, and instead of feeding I turned him over, and he went back to sleep until 3:30am! I cant believe he keeps trying to trick me into feeding, when he really isnt hungry! I can hear him trying it on me right now.... I guess I better go!

Hi Girls
Interview went well. I hope to hear from them. Based in Fremantle which is only 10 minutes from my house. Dont want to get my hopes up though.
K is going well, sleeping through till 7am which i love.
Sleeps in between his pram and cot during the day, getting him used to sleeping in his pram so when we are out it wont be an issue.
Dh & I are heading out for dinner to a friends birthday so Nonna & Nonno *my mum and dad* are coming around to babysit, have one bottle for K all ready to go.
Sarah YAY for not being pg.
Jessica Hope you get better soon. I am on the end run of the flu
Nat Have a great trip to Tassie, you lucky girl you
Just made a cuppa so off to sit with DH and relax for a bit before feeding K again.
Love Son

Wha a huge day, this is the first time I have sat down all day. aAri hasn't slept all day so she was very hard to settle tonight, finally has gone down - touch wwod. I think half the problem is that she stays awake for about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs, falls asleep for half and hour and then wakes for a feed but instead of going back to sleep she wakes up! Then stays awake for another 2 hrs and the cycle keeps going. I've tried giving her a feed to sleep but she just goes to sleep without finishing the feed and wakes up in half an hour! Any ideas?
Sonia, that cuppa sounds so nice! Hope you have a good time out with dh.
Cass - sounds like izzy is doing well, hope you enjoy tassie, will you be anywhere near wear natty is?
We are off to Brissie on the 21st, can't wait to use some of my winter clothes (it never seems to get cold here)
Page has gone over and I can't remember what else was on there, sorry
Hope everyone is well and catch up soon. Off to make some more updates on webpage, I have some stock arriving next week so feel free to come and have a squiz

Hello from Tasmania!!! I just wanted to pop in quickly and announce that TJ let me sleep for 7hrs straight last night - for the first time!!! SO proud of her!!!!!!!
Hope everyone is well!
