Cass_Blob aw thanks sweetie! In love your daughters name! And the spelling to by the way, its different and I love differene\t!
Hi all, I have been so busy at work so I haven't had a chance to get on here and catch up (the only chance I get to come on here is during work...hehehe...)
Well I am in pretty good spirits considering I have only had 4 hours sleep. Last night was the worst night with Sam that I have ever had. The poor little bugger has teething troubles. I have been using panadol and bonjela and they must not be strong enough for him cause it didnt seem to do anything, he was awake every 1-2 hours and he would cry out in so much pain, I felt so terrible because there really wasnt anything else I could do for him, but we got thru the night and I have been up since 5am but I shouldn't complain because this is the first interupted sleep I have had since he was about 8 weeks old. On the food side of things, his appetite hasn't changed, still loves his food. I made up a big batch of dinners and put them in the freezer, they are made up of beans, carrots, pumpkin, potato, brocoli, cauliflour, zuccini, mince and pasta. Anyway, we were all good with that for about 4 days and then he got sick of it, so I tried a little bit of gravy with it.....well, you should have seen him, he couldnt open his mouth wide enough and I couldnt put it in quick enough lol. A tiny bit of tomato sauce works too, so when they get sick of the same old thing, put a little bit of gravy in it and you will be amazed at the difference, Sam's favourite seems to be the chicken one. All I buy is the gravox ones that you can buy in the tins, good stuff lol.
And we have needles this thursday, I'm not looking forward to it, teething and needles, not a good combination!!
Sorry I have just dribbled on with so much but none of the girls here at work have kids yet so no one knows what I'm talking about!
Man, I hate it when I have to respond on the following page...lol.
Soul honey... I'M HERE!! Please stay and chat!! How's little Phoenix doing?
Ali, OMG @ the poo.... Oskar did the same thing yesterday and lucky it didn't go on his car seat!! I had to change him at the shops... I didn't realise it had gone up his back... gross!!
Jen, dribble on as much as you like!! That's what we're here for :)
Sarah, my honey, I feel for you so much, you've really get such a bad run of things at times. :hug: to you all.
Last night Oskar was a bit grumpy after his feed so I thought I would see if he wanted some pumpkin (I'd cooked it up about a month ago and frozen it) and boy oh boy he wanted it!! Last time he wasn't sure about it but now he was opening his mouth and loved it. He wasn't quite ready last time. So, I'll slowly start him on solids now. He likes banana but not mashed up.. only if he can suck on the one I'm eating!!
cass thank you, I recognised a few people but no hello's from theM,, thats cool "Your" here LMAO! Got a hello form someone I didnt know so that was great! Pheeny is great, spoult rotten and doenst sleep "Barley" but hes great. He only has little cap naps all day long, and it is driving me nuts to be honest. How abot lil Osc? Guess what???????? we are going to start ttc #7 yayayayayayayayaya
Just popping in to say hello! J has one of his mates over and they are talking boring stuff, and most of it goes over my head, and they get annoyed with me coz i ask too many questions, and then keep changing the subject to something more fun, so i came to play here instead. It was this or the ironing, and i would still be listening to them then, and this is more fun anyway!
Anyhoo, Welcome Soul! I remember you! I can't believe that you are going to try for number 7! I want to have 4, but have only just managed to talk J up to 3... What's your secret?
Nothing has happened to us today - we just hung put at home and played, so nothing exciting to tell you guys about...
Hope you are all good tho!
I noticed there a few people from the old belly buddies group and thought I would pop in and say hi.
I jump on and see whats happening occasionally( I suppose I am a bit like a stalker)lol.
A big hi to Soul,Ali,Jo,Cass,and to everyone else.
Sounds like all babies are going well.
Take care
Michelle
Alipralli, I told Dh I do all the hard work anyhow, so how is it so hard for him, why should he get to be the one who makes "All" the desicions, even if he is the bread winner, I am the one who budgets the money! But he gave up 3 kids ago, he knows its my dream and that I do all the work anyways, so how could he deny me my dream!
hehe your welcome sole...
jen - ohh poor sam, hope those teeth come through soon... Jen, how do you give him mince?
Cass - isn't it cute how they eat... hehe, i just did the good mummy thing and make up a whole heap of vegies and stuck them in the freezer
Michelle - hello... hows erin?
Well it's been a pretty eventful day today, but not the physical side, just emotional and im more tired now then what i normally am running around. . . Just custody battles over my DSS, it's hard...
But a nice holiday with me, tim, locklan and izzy should send the stress back down hopefully..
Izzabella has her 6months needles tomorrow, and everyone keeps telling me how nasty they all are, so im getting scared!
And funny story... my aunty who had her 8th child (5th biologically hers, 3 his = 8together) in april and had a tubal ligation after destinee was born, is now pregnant with twins hehe :) They are one short of a cricket team :)
Heylo to everyone i missed... catch you all on the flip side :)
Caro - i wouldn't of picked you for being 40 in your photo's :)
I am 33 will put a pic of me up in my photobucket link tomorrow.
Your very welcome!
Well izzy has had a very sleepy day today, usually im fighting to get her to sleep any longer then 45mins during the day but today she had two 2 hour naps! is now still awake at 7.30 tho when she normally is in bed at 6!
We're going holidaying tomorrow for the weekend, up in hervey bay, me tim locky and izzy is should be a lovely family weekend (pity we missing one of our boys :( )
hope you all have a wonderful weekend !
Kisses and huggs to all
Have a great weekend Cass!
At the start of this week, Nic changed from sleeping 45 mins at a time during the day to having really good 1.5 - 2 hours sleeps. He was a lot happier after such good sleeps. Today was very exciting. I had layed Nicholas on the floor while I was getting changed and he had rolled onto his tummy (has been doing that for a while), but he was playing with these balls that kept rolling away from him. He was flapping his arms and legs about trying to move himself over to get them, it was so funny! Then, he put his head on the groung and pushed his little bum up into the air! Such a clever boy!! He ended up going around in circles, and got frustrated at the balls that kept rolling away. I guess this is the start of something new for us all!
Hi everyone else!
Cass, with the mince I just cook it up like normal, then once the pasta and vegies are cooked I mash them and then put the whole lot, mince and all into a food processer and blend it all together. He likes the mince, doesn't mind Tuna either, if you are going to use tuna, get the sandwich type one in springwater, thats the best to mix in for them.
Well, Sam had needles yesterday, he only cried a bit, he was so brave! The nurse told me something interesting yesterday, you all probably know this but I thought I'd share it anyway. I have been giving Sam panadol for his teething but it hasn't been doing anything for him so I switched to Nurofen which made a HUGE difference. When I saw the nurse yesterday, she asked me if I had panadol for him at home, and I told her the nurofen story and she told me that I should always have both. This is because the nurofen is good for pains esp teething as it is more for inflamation, while the panadol is more for fevers. So she said because they do different things, you can alternate them and give them within 3 hours of each other. So I did that last night and he slept right thru to 7.30 thismorning.
Hello, just popping in, Ari has been very sick - in hospital Tuesday night for observation but out again in the morning with broncitus.
She is doing much better now. DS fete is on this weekend so have been busy but should be back in next week.
Gee Sara i hope she gets better soon, poor little thing.
Cass_Blob - congrats on the upending engagement, i bet you cant wait! I'd be excited everytime we were alone just waiting for him to do it!
Soul - Wow on having 6 children! I'd love to have that many! Can i ask what type of car you have? Im worried about having three and fitting them into mine, i have a rav4.
Caro - i agree with Cass, you DONT look 40! Looking good!
JenP - I like the mince idea, good one! I hope your little man is feeling better now.
There are so many ppl in here its hard to keep up!
Emily has just started to sit up by herself - very cute!
Hope everyone is going well.
PS. Is Natty still around??
Sarah... OMG you poor love. How is Ari doing now? I've been worried about Oskar cos he's got a nasty sounding cough... doc yesterday told me he's just got mucous and his lungs are clear as a bell.... I'm not totally convinced and I'm just keeping an eye on him. He has no fever or runny nose or anything... I hope Ari feels better soon, it's so awful having them not well.
Soul... big :hug: to you... glad you're staying!!! I'm jealous you're TTC # 7!!! Years ago I dated a guy for a while who had 6 kids so with Joshua it was 7... and I tell you it was so much fun. The only thing I didn't like was the washing!! lol. Phoenix is so cute. Oskar is doing great and VERY vocal. He just makes me laugh so much sometimes.
Hi Michelle :D so lovely to see you! How's your beautiful princess Erin doing? Lol @ stalker! I haven't been in for a few days, just been too busy plodding around doing nothing really in particular.
Jo, lol @ Nic going around in circles. Oskar does that, he doesn't roll, just flips his legs around and rotates... amuses me anyway and that's all that matters right?? ;) lol
Well, Oskar has had a very nasty chesty sounding cough for the past 2 days. I took him to the doc yesterday (mind you I had to see the one doc I don't like!!! Mine is having major surgery atm so he's unavailable)... he listened to his chest, took temp, checked ears... and said it's just mucous that basically is sitting in his throat. Problem is he vomits at times if he starts to gag from coughing! I am VERY happy that he's still in his hammock though cos I could raise his head up a bit and not bother him. I put some baby vicks on a tissue last night and put it under his sheet near his head and I think that helped as he only woke once last night. His cheek smelt like vicks this morning though... he must've been resting on it. The night before he woke at 1am coughing and coughing and wouldn't go back to sleep until 2:30!! I am going to do the vicks thing again tonight. I don't really know what else to do to help him. I got Dexrine (I think it's called) on recommendation from doc, but I don't really like to use medicated stuff... I used last night and about 1/2 hour later he kinda vomited but it was like (gross) a big snot ball in a way but out of his mouth if that makes sense. Then this morning I used Fess saline drops and it made him have a little chuck too... at least it's coming out I guess.
We got Pixi fotos done yesterday and he looked so handsome... I hope I can be strong and not buy them cos they're sooooo expensive for what they are IMO. Ummmm still not rolling, LOVES pumpkin and is wanting it now and is a really BIG chatterbox...lol.
Best be off as I think this is going to be a rather long post... hehe.
*Shell* we dont have a car at all sweetie!
cass aw poor lil oscar oh poor lil baby, give him a whopping big kiss and huggles from me ok. Your such a wonderful mother, so he will be ok. Pheeny is saying dad dad mum mum lol oh its sooo cute, he really concentrates when he watches you say it, love it!I got peed on again today, I thinks he finds amusment in that, as he has done it so many times I have lost count now!I looked at Oscars piccies with Joshy and they are both beautiful boys, just beautiful, not "Cute" "BEAUTIFUL"!!!
