sorry i have been mia...have been reading but not posting, haven't really felt up to it and it usually is the way that wnen i sit down to post lily wakes up or starts fussing. even as i write this i am doing so with one hand as she settles in the other
i can't believe how quickly our little ones grow up and some are rolling already!! wow lily is strong at holding her head up but not really moving yet. if i put my hand at her feet during tummy time she pushes and moves up the mat, but her arms arent really coordinated yet. she only started to suck her fingers!!!
but ladies.... i am so excited... saturday night lily slept 6.5 hours.... last night she slept through she went down at 9ish and didnt wake till 6am!!!! so excited and proud of our little girl. she hasnt slept much today so heres hoping she does it again
hoping you all have a good night sleep.... and i hope to catch up with personals later...

Hi everyone.
Havent posted for awhile but i also have been reading posts just haven't had time of late. Hamish had his needles on Monday, he screamed for about 5 seconds then went to sleep on my arms. I was really happy with the dr and nurse instead of doing one needle at a time they did them together, dr in one leg and nurse in the other i think it was a wonderful idea. He slept for an hour or so and then was a not very happy little boy all day and night, i gave him panadol a few times but didnt seem to help, he just wanted to be held. We had no sleep Monday night as he woke 4 times. Last night he was alot better, went down at 10 and woke at 3.30 then 8. So much better night. He hasnt slept through the night yet but i am happy if i only have to get up the once and he settles back after feed.
NaNa - i would recommend chiro, they dont manipulate ds just a firm massage and adjustments, i can really tell the difference in his head shape and he has opened his bowels every day since we went and before that it was only every 3 and he was very constipated. We go back again tomorrow, she told me it would be a few weeks before we see the changes but i have noticed little ones every day.
My chiro specializes in children.
I best be off to do some washing and hope today it will dry.
all is well here. Liam is doing well, he is getting so alert and laughs all the time, he is such a happy little boy.
Glad to see everyone is well. sorry this is short am off to sleep as tired this afternoon and i have BOTH boys asleep YEAH
CHat to you all later
I'm here, just don't get a chance to get to this thread & actually post too often
Miss Juliette is just beautiful, still sleeping & feeding wonderfully. It's like she's read all of the baby books & is doing what they say LOL! She's so good I'm almost considering TTC again!!! Maybe not quite yet LOL! I'm taking her to visit SIVF next week to show her off, I figure they should see her seeing as they did most of the hard work to get her started IYKWIM!
We're using the Coles brand nappies & finding them quite ok, I still haven't tried all the others just yet. The scary thing is, being over 6kg puts her into crawler sized nappies!!!
No rolling here just yet, she's just not interested, hardly even holds her head up properly when on her tummy. I don't think she'll be like her brother - crawling at 6 months & walking at 11 months. It'll be strange!
Well we've had a rough day... jordan fell over in the bath today and put his tooth through his lip... Took him to the GP to check it and while we waited i decided to get Tiahna's injections while we were there... She screamed the place down it was aweful
Once they were done the doc checked jordan's lip. Said i should take him to the hossy to see if they'd stitch it or not.
After waiting there for 5 1/2 hours i asked how much longer they said there was still a huge wait in emergency... By then jordan was hungry tired and the lip has started to heal up. I know i probably should have stayed but they said if they needed to stitch they would have to sedate him and that meant another few hours wait after they got around to doing it and no food or drink. I decided to just take him home... the lip isnt swollen anymore and the cut is like stuck back together... I'll take him back in the morning first thing i couldnt believe they made him wait that while time and expected him not to eat or drink and couldnt tell us how much longer. worst part was that stuck a huge pathch thing on there shich ended up sticking...
Oh crap Tiahna is screaming like she's had a nitemare about the needles,,, i'll come back later for PM...
Morning!
Jess how horrible for you, i hope jordans lip is better today. It must have been so frustrating waiting and not knowing how long before you were to be seen, I have been in that situation once before with dd it makes you so mad that we dont have a better hospital system.
Sarah good to hear juliette is doing so well, my dd was a perfect baby also, not saying ds isnt but he is alot more work than dd.
Deancey glad liam is doing well, they make your day when they are so happy i know, hamish makes me get all teary sometimes when he is smiling and goo ing, but i am a big softy.
Al wow on lily sleeping so well. Hamish isnt rolling yet either but i think its a bit early, he also can hold his head very well.
Sassy we use nappies from aldi they are fantastic, i was using huggies but a friend recommended aldi ones, i use there wipes too
principessa76 sounds like aiden is sleeping alot like Hamish, last night i put him down at 9 and he woke at 4am then 7.30am, i am happy with only having to get up the once. I am not concerned that he doesnt sleep through yet.
NaNA i hold hamish to sleep sometimes, if he is overtired he just wont settle himselfand i enjoy the cuddle anyway.
Mecil i hope all goes well with zali's appointment at Paed, Hamish is also all arms and legs atm, they look so cute when they are flapping about.\
We had mchn yesterday and Hamish now weighs 5550 which is 12'3 and 57.5cm long, he put on 450g in the 2 weeks so he is progressing really well. He has a little rash on his face and neck which maybe a reaction to his immuniations on Monday but its nothing to drastic. He is now mainly wearing 00 clothing. I am working the next 3 nights and a few hours saturday, i am not looking forward to leaving him so much but dp will be home with him and my best friend is looking afer him for a few hours friday night as dp works late. She is so excited, i just hope he behaves himself.
OK back for those PM's,
NaNa- sound like you doing great with the MCN's wish i was so enthusiastic.. Things are hectic with DS & i'm not on top of the laundry... Which is why i'm using sposies... Tiahna is sleeping like Aadi also... Been trying to stretch out the sleeps so when she does sleep she's more tired.
I read about the feed, play, sleep routine... It seems to be helping a wee bit... first day she was getting overtired third day she was better, then the 4th day she had needles and wasnt happy at all, wanted to feed all day and cried everytime she woke up (15 mins of sleep) but yesterday she did better... Only thing is i need to work on timing... She has a 2 hour sleep at 11 then another sleep from 3-7pm. i was going to wake her but i cooked dinner ate with both hands(yay) packed the dishwasher and showered. then she fed played and was asleep by 9 and i thought i'd be in for a bad night but she didnt wake again til 5am then went back to sleep and slept til 7.30 and is now asleep once again.
Would have been great except Jordan was up 1/2 the night throwing up... Think he picked up a bug from the emergency room at the hossy... GRRRRRRRR
AliciaK- I know how you feel thats how i post every time, Tiahna like to watch the screen, and likes the rocking of the chair so i often sit at the computer and rock then get bored so i post 1 handed. today is the 1st time i can post with 2 hands she's still sleeping. Also YAy on Lily's Big sleep, hope she keeps it up for you. Tiahna isnt a big day sleeper but i can handle it if she's sleeping through the night
Abb- wish they had of done both needles together for Tiahna... Poor thing was laying there all happy and the lady told me to hold her arms (my usually GP would have made me hold her and brace her as he did them but now get the nurse's to do them) she jabbed the 1st in and Tiahna kicked her leg (she didnt even hold it down properly) then poor sweety screamed like you could not imagine, then she jabbed the second one in as she was kicking and she screamed even worse... I couldnt consol her for about 15 min and i just popped her on the boob in front of everyone... didnt care just wanted to help her... It wsnt discreet but hey my princess needed me... Dont care who saw the booby... Now everytime she sleeps she wakes up screaming the exact same way until she see's me (real tears and everything)
Deancey- yay on liam laughing... Tiahna is more of a talker... Makes little conversations with me.. If i copy her noises she has a HUGE smile and dose it back... its great.
Sarah H- the snugglers small ones are like the huggies crawler except you get as many as newborn there a bit big for Tiahna but the huggies and babylove newborn are getting to small, trying to use them all up before i use my snugglers box... Anyone change nappies to a schedule??? we go through a few nappies... thought i was changing to frequently maybe???some of them are just barely wet.
Tiahna has started sucking on her hands like 100times more then she was... but now she's dribbling everywhere... Wasnt sure if maybe it was like the start of teething... My DS was very late with teething but a friend of mine who had her baby 1st may had 2 teeth at 8 weeks???? (not fully but cut through) She has discovered her hands and watches them go into her mouth and goes cross eyed watching them, Maybe its just that she's so interested in them ATM..??
Well best be off Tiahna is still asleep so i'll try to get few things done, no doubt i'll have a rough day now she's has so much sleep... Have to hang out the sheets and towels from jordan now.. YUK... At least there all washed did that straight away.
