Not much to report... DD has been a bit cranky and screaming, red cheeks and bottom, teething is a b!tch... poor bubba is chomping EVERYTHING... sleeping going ok, last night she wouldnt go to bed till 10.30 but slept till 6 fed and slept til 8 so not too bad considering shes having teeth issues...
Has a bit of a temp today but nothing too bad..... have booked a council clean up so we can get rid of the extra junk round here... driving me insane so what ever isnt uses is being tossed to the curb... so much to do....
mis- sorry bout your car...I hate using the steroid cream for the eczema also.... i use the cetaphil skin cleanser and moisturiser for DD and myself... (i have psoriasis and dermatitis) works well to keep the skin moisturised and the wash doesnt dry the skin out.
Deancey- Glad the solids are going well.. Were just doing the 1 feed a day ATM... Going well... The vege's seem to keeping her regular and no more constipation since we have stopped farex. Sorry to hear about the thrush...
Bec- My Dd can go 7 days without pooping... BF babies can go up to 14 days and still be NORMAL. The green coulour could be from the forula... (can take few days for it to change the poop)
Abb- glad Hamish is doing well, and YAY on the swimming
GTG- Preschool just rang and DS has a rash all over so have to pick him up
Abb34: havnt heard abotu the jobs yet. apps closed for one on mondya and the other yesterday so it is still early.
jayda is going really well with her sleep. she is goign to bed earlier now. ever since she was born she woudl go to sleep at 830 now it is down to 730 and waking up around 6.
we have just uped her bottles she was drinking abotu 180 but ended up having a extra bottle here and then so we have her up to 210 and she is sucking them dry.
i am steeming some carrot at the mo i am goign to give it to her in her chew bag thing tomorrow see how she goes.
about to take DH to the doc. his back is getting better slowly but even if it seems fine the 6 week ban of picking jayda up still says
omg i am on the last stage of my diet. i get to slow reintroduce food. i got to have bread milk and watermelon today i felt like crying it tastes so good hahahahahahaha.
i was gettin so sick of eating the same thing every meal each day.
Hey, I'm back! Brace yourself - full on babble coming up!
I'm feeling a bit more human after a couple of nights' decent sleep. DP is cranky, as I anticipated, but it's bearable. DS still isn't sleeping so well, and still has his times all messed up, but it could be worse. I'm trying hard to break his habit of wanting to play at 3 AM. He is having a few good naps during the day still, and maybe I need to try and drop one so he will sleep better at night.
I just really needed to catch up on a few nights so I could deal with it better. At least my friend, whose son would sleep 14 hours a night, is now waking every 4 hours. I have no sympathy for her and that's so bad, but hey... I would do drastic things for that kind of sleep just once! I'm convinced that it's just a normal thing at this age, though, and it will pass.
The teething thing certainly is a b!tch, and the toxic green poo and nappy rash that comes with it are just awful. I just wish a tooth would pop up and we could be over with it, for a little while anyway! If only DS would hold on for a day or so without pooping! At the moment it's about 4 a day!! And he's chomping and drooling and squealing so much. Cold carrot fingers and teething ring are helping, if only as a distraction.
I went to the Baby Expo today, and absolutely hated it. I did get a Jolly Jumper for DS quite cheap tho, and DS LOVES it!
Have booked in to see an immunologist at the Childrens Hospital as I need another opinion/more information on Yellow Fever vaccination for DS, because at this rate there may be problems if we go to Africa, then coming back into Australia if he hasn't been vaccinated but has potentially been exposed to Yellow Fever. But he's too young to have it, and altho I dont want to have to cancel this tripas it would cost us a fortune, if it's at the expense of DS's health then we'll have to forget about it.
AF came back this week. SOOOOO annoyed!!
umm... yeah.
LMK - nice to see you back here! Hopefully you can take heart that things are challenging for a lot of us at the moment, and you dont have to make that difficult decision to stop BF. It's hard when there's that feed-sleep association thing...
Mis_tree - geez, too bad about your car! What a pain. Good luck with the Dr and court stuff on Monday.
Jess - hope your DS is ok!
Sass - hope you hear back about one of the jobs soon. The nappies are good, but might last only another week or so before his chubba thighs dont fit! You probably would've gone nuts with them, as they're better suited to new-new babies (not that absorbent). I might donate them to the Russian orphanage charity organisation that's in the cloth nappy forum thread when I'm done.
OK, I have to go. DP NEEDS to go get icecream NOW... men!
BBL!!
Well HAd to pick DS up from preschool after they found a suspiscious looking rash.... i went thinking it was probably a heat rash or his exema but NOPE... I have never seen anything like it.... It looked like little pin *****s all over his face and neck... Like little pin *****s that make the blood come to the surface ofthe skin. Took him to the GP who said he's never seen it either and to take him straight to the Hospital.... WTF...i started freaking out at this stage... 3 hours at the hossy and we finally get seen by the dic. HE didnt know what it was and asked the senior doc who also didnt know what it was or the cause... So i just have to keep an eye on him... It seems to have calmed down a bit so fingers crossed it will be nothing.
DD is still having teething issues... She has started sucking on her tongue. If my mouth gets itchy or my ears are sore i do the same... she's been very quiet and not as talkative so will keep an eye on her also... few nights of 3+ wake ups again. last night i put her to bed at 8 she woke up at 11 so i wrapped her back up put the cot mobile on and went back to bed.... she went back to sleep... No dummy (cos she still wont take one) and no feed... So happy... She went till 7 this morning... Sorry to those not getting good nights sleep thou... dont mean to brag but such a nice change when you have several wake ups. We did some watermelon in the chewy sack thingy yesterday... Loved it at first but then didnt want it. DH gave her bananna in it in the arvo (was cross as i wanted to introduce 1 thing at a time) but she sucked on it for AGES. I made some watermelon balls nd popped them in the freezer for today.... even DS loves the frozen balls... (never thought of freezing watermelon before.)
Nana- I have to comprimise day sleeping for night sleeping... If DD sleeps well in the day i know we'll have a bad night.... BUT i;d rather have a cranky baby during the day then be waking up several times of a night. Hope you can get some sleep and you sort out the immunisations... Hopefully you wont have to cancel but FULLY understand if it comes down to DS's health...
Well GTG MIL is picking up DS for their day out... (basically just a shopping trip and DS gets milk shakes, donuts and lots more JUNK... glad its only once every few weeks... he'd be a fatty for sure... hehehe
Hope everyone else is well..
Oh Abb- sorry bout facebook, my DP was on mine when you sent the message... He didnt know who you were so didnt reply anything.... (men could have just said sorry its not Jess )
just poppin in quickly.
i tired jayda on food again yesterday and she was grumpy again. i guess leave her or should i keep going and let her get used to it?
Hi Everyone
No alot here to report again, just thought id come on and see how everyone else is going.
Sass - i am not sure if you should keep trying or not, i know some babies just prefer milk, my neice wouldnt eat solids until 7 months and i know my sis asked the mchn and they were not concerned as she was still having enough feeds and putting on weight. Might be best to just weight a few weeks and try again.
Jess - lol at your dh i thought it strange you didnt answer, but i understand now, men like to complicate things lol. I hope jordan's spots disappear soon, i am sure if he has no other symptoms he will be fine. My dd use to love frozen watermelon also, it is good on a hot day to quench thirst also.
NaNa- i was going to melbourne for the baby expo but had to cancel as dd had her entrance exam for secondary school saturday morning, i am glad now as i am sure i would have spent way too much money. Why did you not like it? It would be terribel to cancel your but health definelty comes first for sure. On the sleeping i find that if Hamish sleeps well during the day he also sleep well at night, i know some babies are the opposite, but if he is overtired he seems to wake alot, if that makes sense. I hope you get some well earned rest soon.
Mis tree - Good luck again for tomorrow, have my fingers crossed for you..
I am off to watch dp play cricket now , time to read a good book though lol..
sorry to those I missed yesterday...
we had a rough night again. I'm sick of it, but hey... boy-o wants to wake at 1 and 3 am, and wont resettle with me anymore. Every time I hold him he starts with the kicking/swinging punches/rocking business! DP had to take him from me last night coz I was in agony (my hip... dont know what's up with that), and now he is shattered and wishes he hadn't gone to football training yesterday. We're up again at 7 for a couple of hours, but DS is grumpy the whole time, then sleeps again for 2 hours. Aside from that, everything's fine!
Abb - the expo was ok, but I felt like there was a load of unnecessary, expensive stuff that a lot of pregnant women get sucked into buying. Don't get me wrong, I could have gone a bit silly with the credit card on some of the gorgeous MCN, but that would have been it. I was tempted but already got fluffy mail earlier in the week that I probably didn't need (need vs want nappies - how wrong is that??). But then, it was Saturday and hot and jam-packed with people and prams and it cost $8 for a cr@p sandwich and that may have clouded my judgement... and a security guy had a go at me for BF VERY DISCREETLY in a quiet corner of the foyer. There was a queue in the mothers room, and nobody else around out there, so WTF?! I hate that.
oh, sorry to vent... hope your DD went well in her exam! How exciting! High school - wow, that's a big deal.
I have to go again... time is not my own! Hope you're all having a great weekend!
WTF...i started freaking out at this stage... 3 hours at the hossy and we finally get seen by the dic. HE didnt know what it was and asked the senior doc who also didnt know what it was or the cause... So i just have to keep an eye on him...
