Morning
Well what a time we have had. Where do i start.
Friday morning we packed up the car etc, it was so chockers. We headed off mid morning and as much as i tried to get going straight after i fed hamish it didnt work that way but anyway it worked out ok. We drove for about an hour and half, hamish slept most of the time then we stopped for a toilet stop and i fed him. Back in the car he slept the next 2 hours arrived at dp's grandparents place. We stayed there for the day and he was very well behaved. Dp's pa is very ill so i was suprised when Hamish was on the floor having a kick he decided to join him. Dragging his oxygen tank over and laying on the floor beside him, it was a moment i think dp will always remember. We left there place around dinner time and back in the car for another hour to dp's brother and sil place. They live on a huge property with a beautiful new 2 storey mansion, they have no children as yet just animals. Omg when i entered the house i was shocked and disappointed, all you could smell were cats (yuck). Anyway we went to sit in lounge room but i couldnt put hamish down any where not even on couch, there was cat hair everywhere and house smelt like cat pee. They had two dogs inside, gorgeous, friendly dogs but they had not been around children before so they were very inquisitive with hamish. I think i nearly spent the whole time up stairs in bedroom as it was the only place the animals where not alowed, so i had somewhere to put ds down for a play, but as we never took monitor with us i had to stay with him entire time. That night was not too bad, it was ds first time in a porta cot so i was a little concerned how he would sleep, he woke once at 2 then 6 so it was ok, i only wish i has slept that long, with all the animal hair i had really bad hayfever and could not sleep. It was good for dp to spend sometime with his family but it was disappointing they were not very accomodating with us. We had breakfast with his parents and then lunchtime we headed back towards the city for the night. Omg was the motel room a nightmare, i booked a one bedroom apartment where the bedroom was suppose to seperate from the lound so ds would sleep in the lounge but instead we had a studio which was all one room. Ds was not a happy boy the whole time we where there, he never slept longer than 2 hours at a time, by 6 am i was exhausted and i said can we just go home today, lucky he was thinking the same thing, so we had breakfast with my sister and met friends for lunch before heading home. Hamish was so good travelling in the car but just a nightmare to sleep in porta cot, i even tried him in bed with us but he was so unsettled. When we got home he was a different baby, slept from 8.30 til 6.30 this morning and is back in bed now. I dont think i will be in a hurry to go away again. It was great to see everyone but with being away and not getting any sleep i was becoming grumpy and irritable so i am glad to be home. Dp mentioned this morning he was glad we came home a day early as he started back at work this morning and yesterday we just relaxed around home so he felt like he needed that day at home after travelling. I think i have vented enough now. Sorry it turned into a bit of a whinge. I hope everyone is well, i will get back later hopefully for personal. Hamish has his needles tomorrow yuck. I am looking forward to finding out how much he weighs etc now, as it has been a month since we have been to mchn. Ok best do some washing.

Hi All,
I will try to make this one a quick one, as we are going out soon (to mothers group).
Abb - sorry to hear your break away turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. Some people have no idea when it comes to childen do they. Even if they don't have childen, it's just common sense to have a clean house for babies (or for houseguests for that matter - I know I clean the house big time if I know someone is coming to stay, childen or not). Good luck for your DS's needles todmorrow.
Sassy - Yay on the sleep through. It is a great feeling to wake up when the sun come ups instead of 1 or 2 times during the night. Are you doing a parents group at your house?
Jess - I don't think it would be a major problem with her touching herself. Cameron has also started to do this in the last week, really grabs himself too, i figure if it was hurting he would stop. I guess they are just learning there body, and possibly the more you make a big deal of it, the more likely they are to keep wanting to touch (because they get a reaction when they do it). Cameron is also trying to grab his feet, it's quite funny to watch the positions he gets into. Good luck also for your needles on Friday. And hope all goes well with the earrings. I was watching Friends last night and for some strange reason I thought of you when the sister got Emma's ears pierced without Rachel and Ross knowing. I think little girls look cute with there ears pierced. Also a Yay to you having a few nights of sleep through. How did she go last night?
Cameron had his needle yesterday. He was fine. I was the bigger sook, I was starting to get teary before they even had the needle ready. As DH also had appointment with Dr, and me being a big sook, I ended up going into the next room for when they gabbed him. I heard him scream, but it was nowhere near as big as last time. They then brought him into me, and he just gave me big cuddles and sucked on my shirt. It was soaked by the time we left, DH pointed it out, and I was like "he can do whatever he likes", he was such a good boy. Didn't even shed a tear himself. Thought it might have effected his sleep, but no difference, he still slept from 8.30 til 7 this morning.
Well better go finish getting ready. Have a good day everyone.
Bye for now
(that was close - lucky i copied this post, computer when funny when went to submit)

heyheyhey!
How is everyone? We had a very disrupted weekend, as DP likes to go out and do things as a family, and cram in as much as possible, but it just throws our routine out the window! Yeh, still... It was nice to get so much done around the house and also go out to a festival and do all sorts of things, but by the time DS has missed his second nap for the day, he's just grumpy and impossible to get settled at night. Of course, DP still can't understand why he wont sleep on weekends... argh! Anyway, by Monday everything's back to normal and DS had an extra-long sleep during the day.
Even though he's been sick, DS is so happy. I wish he wouldn't keep smiling at random strangers tho, coz it's like an invitation for weirdos to talk to me, and touch him, and I HATE that! Do any of you have that problem? How do you tell some random loony that yes, he's cute, but I don't know where your hands have been so don't touch him! It was bad enough people wanting to touch my belly when I was pregnant... It's getting to the point where I dont want to take him out in the pram because at least when he's in the sling people are a bit more hesitant about coming that close... (except for a couple of super-screechy feral women at the market the other day, they were getting right up in my face and I was about ready to slap one of them. Luckily Aadi decided to chuck right at that moment! Perfect... ) But he's just getting too heavy now. I've adjusted and re-made my sling, but I can still only carry him in it for an hour or two at a time. I shouldn't have to break my back because people have no manners!
Sass - WTG on the weight loss! :cheer: That's awesome! How's it going with Jayda having solids now? I've been putting Aadi in the highchair for a while now, just occasionally, but it's been packed up until yesterday. He's decided now he prefers lying down to play, and pushes himself down when I sit him up. Funny how last week he wanted to be sitting up all the time, but not anymore... easier to kick things from lying down, I guess?
Jess - congrats on another restful night! Still jealous... :( Better to get Tiahna's ears pierced now rather than later. Good luck with it, and the needles too. All in one day - ouch! My mum had my ears pierced when I was 8 weeks!! I guess I had no hair for ages, and so many people thought I was a boy!
Wouldn't worry too much about the *ahem* touching business... wait till later when they do it all the time, in front of company, and just wont stop! My friend's 3-year-old is going thru that now... humping things and stubbornly refusing to stop. Embarassing, no?
Abb - shame about your weekend... what a disaster! Hope you can put it behind you. Any tips on what to take, or what not to take?? Nice to have that moment with DP's grandfather, though. That sounds really lovely!
mecil - nice to see you back here! wow, can't believe you're back at work full-time. How do you do it? Congratulations on the block of land, and best of luck with the building project! It'll be great for you to get out of an apartment. We had a 2-bedroom apartment, and that was too small. The move was a shocker, but it's sooo much more comfortable now in a house. Zali is obviously going great, you lucky thing! Well done!
Hey beckstar- glad I'm not the only one who seems to be starving all the time! I eat more than DP now, it's scary!
Bec7 - I'm glad the needles went well for you and Cam! And the swimming lessons. I walked to our local pool earlier today, and it's empty. I think that's taking water restrictions a bit far... guess it's back to the bath tub for us!
right, off to the clothesline - my new favourite place ;)

arggggggggggggggggggggggggggg i just lost all my post. I thought i copied it but it didnt work... whats going on with BB...
NANA- IKWYM about strangers. i just avoid eye contact and smile politley and keep walking saying thanks. i use the sling but am finding DD is getting too heavey. Now if i use the pram i drape a cot sheet over the top i find if they cant see they cant gush over them. My DS was a big toucher but thought it was a boy thing... Musty be a curiosity thing...
DD has slept last few nights from 8.30-5.30-6am. Having a few 1 hour day naps also... but her awake time she is still VERY sooky and whingy.
Bec- glad cams needles went well. I think girls look adorable with their ears pierced but also it might help people distinguish that she's a girl... (even though she's always in pink)
Abb- Sprry your break away didnt go thaty well... Nothing worse then cat pee smell. Also i wouldnt have been able to stay there... I'm majorly alergic to cats and certain dog heir... I think its yuk having oets inside but thats my opinion.
HAd such a better post but this will have to do i have tonns to do now that DP is off at work
-
bec7: i do family daycare.
i am trying to decided if i should go back to work on friday or not. At the mo i am working 7 to 430 mon to thurs and it is gettin to me. i would much rather do 830 to 430 everyday.
once the twins leave next yr to go to skool i wont have anyone starting b4 830. yay a sleep in.
DH has just found out he has to have a op on his nose and get braces. so we r gonna be up for alot of money for those.
the sleep through only lasted (lol that doesnt sound right) one night. lastr night she woke up 3 times for a bottle, i guess she was making up for the night b4 lol she was so crabby yesterday basically slept all day.
there is one thing that is really p!ssing me off. Y R THE SLATS IN THE COT SO WIDE APART? jayda would prob sleep through if she wasnt constantly gettin her legs stuck or hitting her head. Does anyone else have this prob?
Nana: omg i so know wat u mean about people touching bubs all the time. or when they get so in their face and make them cry and then go oh they must be in a crabby mood today.
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORED the kids r down for a sleep.
-
Im not sure what is going on here but i have lost a post so i will try again.
Sass - i still wrap hamish so no trouble with cot yet. Bummer on sleeping all night as a once off, we have had 3 weeks of all nights now with the exception of our trip away but i still am aware it can change at any moment. I am going back to work full time in december, but i dont want to, hopeing dp gets a promotion so i wont have to go back until early next year.
Jess - i felt awful as i know how much dp wanted to spend time with his brother but i couldnt stay there any longer, when i got up in the morning and came down stairs i found dp sweeping the floor, trying to tidy up before ds got up. The thing that annoyed me about it was apparently dp's brother was away with work for the week and only arrived home 5 minutes before us so dp's sil was suppose to clean up before we arrived, but when we got there she was in bed 7pm. Go figure...
NaNa - i packed so much i dont know how you will fit everything in to go overseas. we didnt end up using the pram as it was easier with the carrier (for dp) my back is buggered so i cant hold him in it for long.Hamish didnt like the porta cot at all, although it was his first time in it so maybe he wasnt use to it. ikwym with nosey people looking at bubs, we get it all time especially living in a smallish town and dp working at local paper, and hamish being in paper they seem to think they know you so they can interrupt you at anytime for a poke. :wall: I would hate to be famous i dont know how they cope, its as if they have never seen a baby before.
Bec - i am the same, the house is extra clean when i know i am having vistors. Glad camerons needles went well, lol at the wet shirt. Hamish is also trying to grab his feet, he like to watch my feet also, weird.
beckstar - i hear you on the eating thing, i would like to lose weight before summer but just eat everything in site atm.
Mecil - glad to hear zali is going well, you will be busy with building its an exciting time but also very frustrating.
Mis tree - i hope things are ok with you and Seth's hip problem is being sorted out. And i hope your ex isnt giving you too much grief.
Deancey - where are you???? hope everything is going well..
Hi to anyone i have missed.
We had needles today and hamish seems to be ok, he didnt even budge for the first one and cried for about 20 seconds when had the second one so not too bad. There was only one nurse there today so had to have the seperately but he coped fine, dp came along so he held him for me as i am a sook. He weighs 6.8kg (14'15) and 61cm in length. He is 7 cm shorter than dd was at his age. He put on 600g in 4 weeks whih doesnt seem like much too me but she said it was fine, he is in 50 percentile for his weight. I have to stop comparing him to dd as she was always in 90 percentile or more and is 5ft 7 already and only 12. My exh was not tall and i am only 5ft 4 so im not sure where she gets it from, my mum jokes and says its from the hormones in chicken as she loves chicken.:lol: Hopefully hamish stays settled and has no reaction to needles as dp wants to go out for dinner tonight, dd is away at friends for holidays and returns friday. I think i have blabbed enough for the day so i will be off now....
-
Sass- Wasnt it a while a go that you said you wanted more time with Jayda??? It must be tough opn you working 4 days. dont know how you are all doing it. I am trying to make the decision to go back to work at all. DP doesnt want me to. I dont want to give it up then few months later regret it. I hate the whole interview thing.
Also about the cot... I brought one of the special breathable bumpers. 1.. so she cant see out, and 2 cos my Ds once got his fat leg stuck while trying to stand up. took us ages to get his leg out.
Abb- thats aweful that your SIL didnt clean and your DP had to do it... Glad the needles went well. YAY on the weight gain... All babies go throu a slow weight gain period. I;m sure things are fine.
-
Well we had a great night last night, i was expecting the worst with the needles. Hamish had a screaming session for about an hour or so then did a really gross runny poo(tmi), which the mchn warned me can happen with the syrup (rot). After that he was back to his happy little self again. Slept from 8.30 to 6.30 and has been back in bed from 7.30 still asleep now. I am starting my diet today, so sick of being lazy and i eat so much its just not funny anymore. Need to shed some kilos before summer, i am feeling very uncomfortable at the moment so i know i need to get it happening. Hopefully i can do it on my own, but if not i will look into a program. Ok i best go do some housework before Hamish wakes. Have a nice day everyone.
-
Jess: yes i did want to take more time off not long ago. but with dh's op and teeth and the loan we already have we r struggling really bad. it makes it really hard because DH gets paid monthly. the only reason y i wanted more time off was cause of the long days i do. next yr once the twins go i will be doing 830 to 430 and not letting anyone talk me into anything dif.
it is so hard i need to go back but i dont want to. i am sick of borrowing money off people i absolutly hate asking so thats how bad it is for us at the moment. but yet DH's family think we r loaded.
well even after jayda gettin up 3 times last night i still had a great morning this morning. i got on the scales and so far i have lost 14kgs in 7weeks wooo hooo. if i keep going the way i am i will def be finished by xmas.
yesterday i forgot to take jayda food downstairs so i didnt worry abotu her solids yesterday and then she had 3 extra bottles yesterday. today i gave her some about 30min ago and she scoffed it down so fast. so many i think she is def ready and i will keep her on them.

Hi All,
It still seems like there are problems with this site still (or maybe its my computer, or a combination of both). Cameron will probably wake any moment, so I won't do personals at the moment.
Had a strange couple of days. Yesterday we were woken to Cameron crying at 3.30am. It took me a moment to adjust, as he hasn't done that in about 8 weeks. He seemed to settle, but started crying again after 10mins. Both DH and I went into his room, and to our surprise Cameron legs and arms were dangling out the side of the cot (between the bars). He has done this before, but he is usually only dangling his legs out, like he's turned 90 degrees, but this time he was still long ways, with the arms out to (IYKWIM). He just looked strange. But it wasn't until DH picked Cameron up, that we realised that he was also on his tummy! We turned him around, rewrapped him (as he always unravels himself anyway) and Cameron smiled and went back off to sleep til about 6.30am.
So I guess has now worked out how to roll onto his tummy, shall mark it in his record book. I could see it coming, as he quite often gets on his sides, but he obviously pushed himself too far this time. I wonder how long he might have been like that, as he is getting use to tummy time. Occassionally I've put him down to sleep during the day on his tummy, as he sleeps for longer this way. Only do it during the day though, so I can keep an eye on him.
Then this morning he woke at 5am, just as DH left for work. I went in, he had a very wet nappy, I changed him and rewrapped him and once again went off to sleep til 7am. It has been a strange few days, I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
Because Cameron had kinda tangled himself in the rails and it gave me a bit of a fright, yesterday I went and bought one of those venting airwraps for his cot. This morning (at 7am) he was kicking his feet again the side again (turned 90 degrees again), so probably could have had the same problem if I hadn't bought it.
Well better go see what other housework I can do, Camerons still sleeping, usually only sleeps for an hour during the day, so far we are at 1 1/2 hours (I got him on his tummy).
Bye for now

Not sure if i mentioned i brought a JJ. DD loves it but likes it when she cant reach the ground and it kinda swings... She laughs and yells out... licks her legs and makes it bounce. i have been trying not top pick her up but its so hard when DP is sleeping. will start her in the cot shortly as the basinette is getting too small... i just hate letting go. Might try putting the basinette in there tonight and then later on next week remove the basinette. fingers crossed things work out. her room is right next to ours so i dont think i'll need a monitor. (need to buy one but not sure if it'll get used being so close to us)
Went for a walk yesterday and got 15 mons away when DS fell over and hurt his knees and hands. Of couse he wanted to go home so my walk ended very quickly.
Sass- thats an awesome weight loss... for got to ask if its just diet or are you working out also. a friend of mine got one of those vibration fitness thingys. Working really well. Thinking of tryong one. (she's alot thinner so mainly just tonning up... but they say its great for weight loss also??
I also know whats its like borrowing momey... I just finnished paying off my MIL. (borrowed money for deposit.)
Bec- its not just ur puter... the site is having issues. i got DD to sleep too so off to hang out more washing.

I'd actually went to post the above at 12.45 today, luckily I'd copied it as it doesn't seem to have posted (even though when I submitted the reply twice, it told me it was being duplicated, can't even see 1 post let alone 2), I'd saved it somewhere else when I couldn't see it.
Had to wait til I put Cameron back to bed, as been busy playing, talking, crying then feeding. He seems to be crying and screaming just before I feed him at lunchtime - this is after a good sleep (close to 2hours sleep), a little awake time (bout 10 - 20 mins is the usual routine). He is ok until I lay him to feed, I then sit him up, talk to him and bounce him on my knee then he is ok, so I try to feed him again, he starts to cry (tears and all). He's done this for the last couple of weeks, usually at the 3rd and 4th feed, never any problems though at the 1st or 2nd feed of the day. Usually it only lasts 20mins, but today it took 1hour to get to feed him. Occassionally I've got him an express bottle (didn't today, as only have frozen expressed milk left which would take to long to prepare), which he usually takes without fuss, but I think that's because I put him in his cot while I get it ready and he is crying - possibly wearing himself out. Eventually after he has fed he is fine, happy - smiling, talking and wanting to play. Any ideas to try or what are your routines for the day?
Also when he was crying it gave me a good chance to see in his mouth, as I have a feeling he may be teething, mainly the rosy cheeks, little extra drool (not overly to much though) and seems to gnaw on his fingers (and mine when he gets hold of it). I thought I could see a little white dot on his bottom gum. I'll check it again tonight and get DH to see what he thinks. Maybe this is why he is more unsettled in the afternoon? Could the aching of the teeth happen at certain part of the day? Which in our case seems to be almost every afternoon (particularly lunchtime).
Off to work out what to do for dinner now.
Bye for now

Whoops! Apparently my original post earlier had posted afterall. I swear it wasn't there when I had logged on, even after a few refreshes. It's even taken me a few attempts to reply with this, is it me or is everyone still having problems? Sorry about the duplication (kinda - I did add a little extra to the last post though), and I hope this doesn't duplicate to.
-
Bec- sorry i didnt reply personally to you... didnt have to double post... HAHA
i just love the air wraps... love bumpers but i know there not safe. This way bubs is protected from getting stuck out the sides and also i think they just look so cute.
Teething i guess could happen at parts of the day.. i know when my teeth hurt its not all day but not sure bout it being every day same time... Could just be the arsenic hour.
Things seem to be back to normal on here. I joined AO the other day... itss actually nice to see others having issues with there bedroom issues just like us.
I found DD has been whingeing from tummy aches... I probably mentioned before that she can go 1-2 weeks without a poop... well i've starting again on the infnts friend and she's back to 1-3 days and today she has been a bit better... Must have been all buiilding up and so uncomfy for her... i'm thinking maybe trying the osteopath (spl) to see if they can sort something out.
-
where to u get the air wrap things for the cot from. how much r they? i guess they r mainly to stop them gettin their arms and legs stuck not padding for hitting head.
-
Hi,
Sassy- I got the airwrap from the baby store we'd bought all out stuff from - it was $40 (although I didn't realise the price until I paid, as I knew I needed it).
MisTree- We've also got a jolly jumper, but Cameron can't reach the ground, so we've been putting a little stool (like they use for toilet training) underneath for him to bounce off. I wonder if your DS had a nightmare of being jabbed again. Hope you feel better soon.
Jess- Hope you've sorted your DD's poop issues. I know it's very uncomfortable when you haven't had a movement for a few days, let alone a week or 2 (had this problem for a few weeks after Cam was born). It even effected eating properly, as always felt bloated. How did the bassinet in the cot go? Maybe an idea could be (if you haven't tried it already) is to put DD in the cot for her sleeps during the day, so you can comfort her when she wakes and she'll hopefully realise it is a safe place. The airwrap thing ain't that cute when I had to change the sheets this morning, it made it a lot harder then it already is.
Wednesday must have been the day for clumsyness (like Jess's DS) - I went for a trip myself. Was trying to walk through the garage past the car, trying not to trip over something laying on the ground, but managed to step on my own thong, ended up scratching my hip on a plank of wood, bumped a few other body parts on things and then banged my head on a rail. My bruises have appeared today, and head it a little sore (which will make it a little sore to wash this arvo and I had intended to blow dry straight for going out tomorrow night). I just burst into laughter when I did it as it would have been a funny sight to see me go down. I'm a clumsy person anyway, walking into walls, almost tripping over at least once a week etc, I hope Cam doesn't inherit this gene.
Off to hang the washing out before Cam is due to wake.
Bye for now

This site's been messing up for a couple of days now for me, so I haven't posted and I spent my time unpacking boxes instead! I have way too much junk... Everything's been pretty normal round here except for yesterday when DS woke up early, was really clingy and cuddly, had two naps before midday and then just wanted to cuddle and sleep all afternoon. That's so weird! Unfortunately, he slept from 2-4.30, then from 6.30-9.30, and then wanted to play and squeal for a couple of hours. Right when I was ready to sleep! After letting him have a play for a while, he was yawning and obviously tired, but kept fighting sleep. Literally! He was punching and kicking and squirming and squealing for a solid half hour. Finally got some sleep, but he woke for a feed at 3.30, then at 5.30 he has this semi-regular, annoying problem of waking up and getting agitated because he has a tummy ache. He starts banging his fists on his belly and grunting. This escalates to kicking, back-arching and screaming. His little belly is so tense and he wont relax unless I'm holding him upright. I usually end up shuffling around the house in my slippers while holding his back to my belly, wrapping my arms around his chest and letting him dangle in front of me. When he suddenly feels really heavy, that's when I know he's relaxed and I can try and put him down again. I tried to put him down three times this morning, and DP ended up taking over for a bit before he had to get ready for work, but he just wouldn't relax and didn't stop struggling until I fed him (which was awkward! kicking little monster!). I finally got an appointment for a paediatrician in late November, and even though the initial referral was for the reflux and chucking, which has since eased considerably, I'm still going to go and try and find some relief for this. And no, I still haven't gotten to the chiropractor... really should, but life's been kinda hectic lately!!
Mis_tree - that's what happened with my DS after his first needles too... woke up screaming. I popped him straight in the bath with me! He calmed down straight away. We're going for the next lot of needles next week. Shame about getting a cold - hope you're feeling better soon. I know how dreadful it is (I'm still coughing!) so hopefully Seth doesn't get it too. A vapouriser is really helpful, and an oil burner with some eucalyptus essential oil (not the cheapo stuff), especially if he does get sick too.
Bec - ouch! At least you weren't carrying Cam when you took a tumble! I'm pretty clumsy too, but prefer to call it "gravitationally challenged". Sounds like you've been having an interesting time of things with Cam. It's been similar here, and could be teething or some other developmental milestone? Things change every day! I'm really flexible with our routine especially since everything got messed up with moving house, so I just take each day as it comes. Sometimes DS just doesn't want to feed after a sleep, which disrupts my whole notion of feed-play-sleep, but I can't really force the matter! It would be a real challenge if I wasn't breastfeeding, I'm sure. Not very helpful, am I??
Jess - good luck with the ear-piercing today, and the needles!!
OK, gotta go. The grunter is awake... sorry to all I missed!

DD had her injections yesterday... We went to my regular GP and his nurse was FANTASTIC with her. although thery couldnt do 2 at the same time she was talking to her and making her laugh... (dd gave her a filthy look after though... hahaha)
She's now 6.5kg (doubled her birth weight ) 61.5 cm long and head was 42.5 (both almost 10cm since birth) She cried a little bit but not for long. She had a fever last night about 38.1 so i gave her some panadol stripped her down a bit and gave her a good feed and she thankfully slept all night (although i didnt) She is still sleeping now and hopefully will be for little bit longer so i can clean up.
Now her pooping is sorted she has been alot less whingy. I thing it was a combination on poop pains and wind and the reflux... I had fixed up reflux and wind but not the poop... Hopefully i can keep the 3 naughties away and she's be back to being a fantastic baby.
Sass- i got my Air wrap at Big W. and yeah there about $35-40.
Mistree- Yeah i got a stand with my JJ. The stand is so huge it looks like a freakin tower in the house... take up so much room but she's loving being upright. The chain is long i can make it so she can touch the ground (sorry should have clarrified. She just likes it when her feet dont touch every now and then... we just lightly push her back and forwards... Her face lights up and she starts to laugh and squeel out... Its so cute... She only lasts about 15-20 mins max at the moment. and i dont like her to be in there too long incase its a bit much for her back... she likes looking outthe front door and just to be upright i think is really helping her reflux also.
Bec- I actually didnt do the basinette in the cot. completly forgot and put her in our room... She sleeps in the cot for short time during the day so i think she should be fine... Might do the basinette when she wakes up so i dont for get tonight. Hope ur ok from your fall... I'm a tad clumsy myself.
NaNa- dont ya just had that darn wind pain... my DD gets it alot... tense tummy, screaming (mostly in the late arvo or night) i feel so bad. she usually wake up tooting in teh morning.. HAHA She fluff so many time its no wonder she was screaming... i have just been using the infants friend before every feed (also helping with the pooping and the refluxy stuff too) i hate that distended tummy and thepoor painful screaming cry... Poor Bubs. Hope ur little 1 gets a bit beter. November isnt too far away. hopefully the pead can help him out.
Also didnt get the ears pierced yet... thought i;d see if she got a reaction to the needles so might wait til next weekend maybe. (although would have been good to get all the pain over and done with.
