Sass- DP thinks he's king ***** now.... but not making him be more./....well 'fatherly" He's just loving how she follows him with her eyes and calls out to him all day.
About the next baby.... i could easily go again (have had DP scared already) we'll wait til DD is 12 months at least (for DP's sanity not mine) And i just want to enjoy her as much as i can. Plus i figure 12 months plus 9 months of pregnancy (remember how long that is) is more then enough time to wait for another miracle
NaNa- LOL about your metrosexual hubby... mine on the other hand was an Engine reconditioner by trade... Always greasy, dirty... always working in new clothes... i keep telling him to wear older clothes while doing him odd jobs but nope its always the Whitest newest t shirt when he goes out to fiddle with cars or did on the garden, making this or building that... My DS on the other hand used to freak out when he got dirty but DP has helped out with that now he's digging in the dirt and playing in mud when ever he can... GRRRRR Thanks for the advice on the probiotic... i was thinking bout it but i'm having issues getting to take the neurophen and AB as is... plus forcing him to have fluids. i finally got him to eat some jelly today.. .his mouth is so sore, its bad enough when you bite your tongue and get an ulcer but to have so many on your tongue, mouth, throat and lips. We just found out today from the Doc that it is a form of herpes... (like a coldsore) i freaked out but he said its very common amongst kids could have picked it up NUMEROUS places... i'm already strict on washing hands and using that antiseptic liquid stuff (you know that you dont need to wash off) Guess i need to be stricter.
Mis sorry to hear about DS and his rash... i know both kids' eczema plays up in the sun. What does the rash look like??? could it be a heat rash??? As for the sleeping in his own room... i think its up to you as the parent.
Bec- glad cam went well at your mums. Hope he's feeling better soon with his cold... poor thing... and YAY on the rolling too...
Well i was feeling a tad empty this arvo and had no EBM in the freezer so i made a little bit of Formula for DD. She fussed at first but then drank about 60mls of the 120... feeling very down about it but i guess it will come down to it sooner or later. Not giving up... Will try to express as often as i can to pick up my supply and get some in stock. at least she drank it. so i guess i'll just look at the positive and say YAY she had a bottle...
Dp is at work now so i'm off to bath the kids... hoping tonight DD decides to have a decent sleep....
nana: my hubby doesnt care about gettin his hands dirty but when it comes to a pooy nappy he is liek urs. it takes him so long it ends up all over the change table and if any gets on his hand like a tiny spot he runs around like a fairy lol.
Jess: dont worry about having to give her some formula its better then nothing. i know u knwo this but try not to stress about it it will only make it harder to get some out lol.
i remember the doc and nurses telling me to relax while i was tryin to express. i mean seriously i had a huge chunk out of my nipple and i expressed more blood then milk how relaxing is that lol.
bec: yay onthe rolling both ways. is he rolly pollying everywhere now? we cant keep jayda still.
Morning everyone
Just a quick one as computer is playing up and keeps freezing on me this morning (might be a hint to do some housework) lol.
Hamish is a bit restless atm with teething and seems alot cuddlier than normal and is getting a little clingy towards me lately too. He still goes to anyone without much fuss but has me in his eye sight most of the time, its cute but hope it doesn't go to the extreme of not settling without me.
Bec wb was thinking you had ditched us lol glad cameron went well at your mums but bummer about the colds, hope you are both feeling better soon.
Sass my brother is like that with nappys too, i guess i am lucky with my dp he will change nappies no worries actually he does everything without a worry i guess i am lucky in that way. Dd's father was useless at everything, picked a good one this time though lol
NaNa have fun at playgroup, i must look into taking Hamish soon, he needs to play with other bubs, although he has lots of cousins only one that is close in age (12months) lives close by.
Jess I hope you are looking after yourself too with getting no sleep and Jordan being sick aswell. I hope things improve for you soon.
Mis Tree how is Seth's rash has it cleared up at all?
Ok i better go do some more laundry, it never ends in this house, i am over washing..
I'm back... but forgot what I was going to say so much happening today! um, yeah, playgroup is fun. It's just a bunch of mums from the MCHN new parents group, one of them was organised and proactive (not me!!) and booked a hall at the local neighbourhood centre for a couple of hours a week. Not everyone from the original group still come, and some weeks there's just a few of us, but this week there was 9, and someone even organised a morning tea roster! So all the babies are around the same age roughly, 4-6 months. We're lucky we have a big space with play mats where we can all just dump the bubs and let them "play" together and have a bit of a chat. The other mums are all really lovely. I was apprehensive about it at first, coz it could have potentially been a real yummy mummies crew, as we're all living in a suburb that's recently become trendy and a real hotspot for newly-rich hipster wannabes, but they're all really cool. I'll have to wait and see about introducing DS to older kiddies tho. He was a bit temperamental today because I took some of his toys along and made him share them!! It's a good opportunity for us mums to just get out of the house anyway, and that's vital.
Hope everyone's having a great day, sorry no personals, I need lunch now! Haven't stopped!
Hi all, Well things here are all over the shop... DS is still crook, Dp on night shift and DD screaming all day. We had 5 wake ups last night so at 7.30 i fed her booby then at 8.30 i decided i would give her a solid feed. (half a tin of apple and bananna oatmeal... ) she played for a bit being sooky and at 10.30 i topped her up and put her to bed. She slept for only 20 mins. i thought the solid feed would make mer sleep longer... So i let her play for a bit but she wouldnt. She just cried and screamed unless i help her. at 12.30 i told DP i was going up the shop to get lunch and i wasnt taking her so i went. As soon as i got back she started screaming again.... i expressed and only got 60ml FROM BOTH SIDES but i decided to add some farex as i thought the reason she didnt want the bottle was cos it came out too fast... Well she drank it ALL... was so happy... she played a bit but was very cranky. I gave her som potato (inside of the hot chip... (naughty but she loved it) She then sucked on the dummy for a bi in the highchair but within 15 mons was screaming and whinging again. i topped her up at about 2.45 and put her to bed and she slept for 3 hours. YAY... she is now happily playing under the play gym. I'm hoping to feed her soon then bath and then a solid feed (i know should feed 1st but i want her relaxed) then a little play and a top up and fingers crossed i'll get me some sleep... Please please...
awww Jess, you poor thing! Hope you got some sleep.
mis - Yay! WTG!
Aadi's 2nd tooth is almost here now too. I can see it. Poor poopy kid... it was soooo hot last night, plus he had a temp and was just so tired but still woke up twice, and for an hour at 4.30. He's moaning and whinging on my lap now. Must really hurt. Hopefully the panadol will ease it a bit, coz he's blowing raspberries out of sheer frustration! wont feed, wont sleep. It's going to be a long, hot day...
Just a quick one, on my way to playgroup!
Bec - welcome back!
Mis - grrrr at XP! Maybe it's boys germs? lol!
Jess - I know that rash... I had a minor case of it when I was working at a childcare centre. Apparently it's transferred thru saliva, and I was washing all the dishes and cutlery for 45 kids... I got the rash all over my fingertips and it was awful. Like burning hot needles tracing my fingerprints... *shudder* apparently it's quite common in kids, nurses, childcare workers etc. Doctors were useless tho, and I am SO lucky it didn't progress to mouth ulcers and the likes. Poor Jordan! Get healthy, little man! Good luck with it.
BBL!
