Hi All...
Well DD is still having fevers and not sure why..... can oral thrush cause fevers.... DD has had it for the last few days but i didnt put the 2 together until i realised she might be in pain or discomfort... I've never had oral thrush so not sure if its painful but DD has been crying for no reason..... took her a long time to fall asleep last night but when she finally did at 10.30 she slept til 4.30 had a bottle and is still playing in the loungeroom...
She's loving sitting up with jordan (think he enjoys it too) She's trying to be happy and her normal self but just doesnt seem to be 100%..... so were off to the GP today also speech with DS...
Abb- i used to love the beach until i put on so much weight... now i detest summer and all water sports... Hopefully once i drop this extra 40 kgs i would LOVE to loose i might enjoy it again...Your doing great with the BF.... I got a bit upset again when DD started the fevers.... It was like the minute i start full time formula then she gets sick.... Have to admit BF is SOOOO much easier and cheaper.... I have gone throw almost 1 tin in less then a week.... And she has to be on the HA which can be $20-25 a tin..... plus the washing sterilising etc.... Phew... i tell you you miss the convienience of a quick "pop" out of the boob.... DD still isnt used to waiting for me to make her a bottle... She isnt very patient... hehe.... Also sounds great looking into the nursing again...
NaNa- Its good to have you back... Were having those toxic poops also... i'm changing her so much the last few days cos i cant stand the smell... its like 1 wee and i have to change her... Pong.... Well done on the BF also the heat really dropped my supply to nothing even with drinking 3-4 litres a day...Keep up the good work tho,....
Sass-- I guess if being healthy was easy we wouldnt have fat people... It sucks..... the thing i am noticing is i just have to dust myself off and get up and try all over again... Too many time i have said its too hard.... I really dont wanna be like this so its time to get tough on myself... we'll see... It wont happen over night but hopefully this time next yr i'll have a nice slender body... hehe
Mis- Glad to see you back in here... I read about Stanky's incident... Poor bubba.... Glad you got somethings sorted and are getting some help... Wish i could get some ova here... feels like all i'm doing is accomodating other people.... it sucks being nice you get walked all over...
I kinda freaked Dp out last night when i was talking about the new baby bonus scheme... You now get $5000 in 13 fortnightly payments of 382 (i think from memory) and i was saying its like maternity payment now.... he was like.... I'll have to get another job to feed everyone etc etc... OMG how will we manage with 3 kids... Blah blah... He's so not ready for another baby... I was a bit upset with him saying 5 yrs tme but i think its just to make me lay off the subject... HEHE... i think he seeis himself getting older and not being able to do all the thinks other guys his age are doing... He's approaching the big 30 in few yrs and i think he's feeling OLD or something... HAHAHA.... It cracks me up that he's freaked out about getting older....

jayda is powering on. she is up on her knees crawling prop now. she is starting to pull herself up on things. she is so much happier now she can get around and sit up. she is also sitting her self up.
she is a bit constipated but i guess she has to get used to the food.
i dont know wat to give her for breaky. she doesnt like rice cereal and i tried giving her the kids wheet bix but it constipates her she doesnt really liek custards first thing.
jess: i so know wat u mean. i give up so easy. DH and i started Tony ferguson and he gave up after 2 days but that was cause he just didnt have enough to keep him going for 12 hr shifts so i dont balme him. but i gave up aswell. i was gogin to start again but then i think oh we r goign away on the long week end so ill start after then. then there is easter, then there is jaydas birthday lol.

i need to loose atleast 20kgs b4 we can have another bub. we were going to start tryin again after jaydas 1st birthday but i dont think that is gonna happen.
ill start a thread in the health part the exercising one come chat to me in there cause ill prob get introuble if i keep goign on about it in here lol.
abb: it sucks doesnt it that they r just that bit too little to be out when other r. i wanted to take jayda to the beach the other day then i thought about the lack of shade part lol. oh and her prob eating a buck load of sand.
i am prob very slack but she had her first time out on the grass yesterday (i mean rolling and sitting and crawling) and all she wanted to do was pick the grass and eat it.
Mis: welcome back.

Bec: how did ur friend go with gettin her cancer cut out of her foot is eveyrthing ok now. i guess they wont knwo straight away?

Abb - IKWYM about the beach... I grew up at one of the best beaches in the country, and when I go back there on holidays with Aadi, I have to sit under the umbrella and try and stop him eating sand, while DP's out swimming and enjoying himself... blah. I'd rather be out swimming past the breakers and checking out the surfers!! Good on you for persisting with the BF as much as possible. Aadi's reverted to commando crawling too, but he's going from one end of the house to the other now, getting his belly-button full of dust!! (my new vac is getting repaired - already!! :( ) At least he's doing his share of the housework and polishing the floors for me! lol!
Jess - I don't know anything about oral thrush or whether it might cause fevers... best check it out with the GP. Scary stuff. The toxic-smelling wees were getting dreadful here, but Aadi's fourth tooth has cut thru this morning so it seems to have settled down a bit. It was foul, and he was still sleeping in our bed for part of the night, so I was back to doing night-time changes. Ghastly! oh, and my DP is 39 soon, so he's the one pushing for more kids. He's training with a personal-trainer friend of ours every weekend to maintain his fitness so he can keep up with Aadi and the 2 other kids he wants to have ASAP!! And if it means I don't have to go back to working as a chef any time soon, I might just consider it... OMG did I really say that?? :lol: good luck today, hope Tiahna's feeling better really soon.
sassy - Yay! Jayda's first taste of grass! Exciting, yeah? haha! I went to the park with another mum from playgroup yesterday, and both our boys were eating grass and leaves. And acorns. Not cool! We're up to 4 teeth today! I hope that's the last of it for a while, it's been non-stop with one after the other for ever now, it seems!
Have you tried making porridge for Jayda's breakfast? I give Aadi the Bellamy's organic rice and millet porridge, which u can get from Coles I think. He has it either plain (with EBM) or I mix a bit of fruit thru it. Or what about toast, with banana or avocado?
Good luck everyone with your weight-loss plans, but I'm sure you're all yummy mummies just the way you are!

Sassy,
The sleeping is better than I had expected. She went to bed at 6:30pm, woke up at 9pm, back to bed by 9:30pm, woke up again at 12:30am, and cries during the night either wanting to know I am there or am making her too hot or she wants to be feed. She is getting better at sleeping in her cot during the night. Last night I was too lazy to put her into her cot, so she slept with me. She is good at settling herself but sometimes doesn't want too and prefers to cry for 20 minutes before she gives up.

Jess,
Are you pregnant? Or planning to have baby number 3?

NaNa this time next year i think will be alot easier with beach etc although i am sure i will be chasing him around like crazy but atleast i will be able to take him instead of staying home. I went for a walk along beach late last night while dp looked after him and was tempted to go for a dip then but was a little worried about the jelly fish at 9pm.lol
Sass - Hamish loves the grass, always picking it up and trying to eat it and he did the same with the sand on the beach but when i took him last he was tired so ended up rubbing most in his eyes and it was not fun at all.
Jess i know what you mean that Bf is easier and i hope i can continue but atm i am just taking one day at a time and hopefully i can keep going a little longer. I hope tiahna and her tonsils get better soon, poor bubba i know how it feels.
Well we had some terrible news last night my uncle (mums brother) died of a massive heart attack, my mum is just a mess atm, i feel for her so much, it is almost a year since my nan (her mum) past away. Anyway he lives in qld so i willbe flying up on the weekend for a few days with Hamish so it will be a busy few days for us and a very sad time. I am feeling very much for my cousin who gave birth to her first child on Saturday and now her dad has passed, i havent spoke to her as yet but i imagine she will be heart broken and how difficult this time will be for her. Anyhoo i have vented enough and probably in wrong place sorry. I best be off and get some more house work done.
-
Oh Abb, that's really sad news... My thoughts are with you and your family, and especially your cousin. That must be just heartbreaking! Best of luck for your trip up to Qld with Hamish. Hopefully having him there will help lighten the mood a bit for you and make it easier to deal with. My condolences...
I was meant to go visit my great aunt after christmas, but she was deteriorating so quickly, and her room at the hospital was no place for a baby...it was a 2-hour drive for what would have been a 15-minute visit and she could barely speak and probably wouldn't have known who I was anyway. Late on the 29th we got a phone call asking us to come straight away, and then another 5 minutes later telling us she had passed away. I spent most of new years day sorting out her few belongings. Sad that all that remains of that entire generation of my family is a pile of horrible nylon cardigans. She had a very sad life. Good reminder to do something worthwhile with your time!

Hi ladies
Been so busy lately, today is Cody's 5th Birthday. we took him bowling this morning it was so much fun its the first time we have taken the boys and they loved it. Lachlan was so well behaved it was amazing, we will definitly be going more often. Having fmily over tonight for dinner ARGH so many people in my house its going to be trashed :wall: Oh well dh is still on holidays he will help me clean up:D
Abbie has been much better the last few days with her clingyness (sp). Its such a relief. The last few days i can put her down in front of the wiggles on tv and she sits there like a stunned mullet lol. Its great when i need to get a few things done. Does anyone else's bubs like tv yet or do i just have a couch potato on my hands.
Today she went front laying down to sitting up all by herself!!!!! She will be crawling very soon and she is rolling pushing and rocking heaps and heaps she ended up in my bedroom yesterday which is around the cornor down the hall a bit from the lounge.
Jess i hope that Tiahna is feeling a bit better now the poor little thing atleast she is eating and sleeping a bit today:-)
Abb i am so sorry for the loss of your uncle, my thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. And don't be sorry about venting in here i think this group is about more then just the babies, i think its some where where we can come and talk about anything not just the babies. Although i know its suppose to be about the babies but us mumma's need a vent too sometimes.
Nana sorry to hear about your great aunt as well.
Sassy great to hear that jayda is doing so well!
Hi toeveyone else sorry abbie is cracking it so i must be off but i will tryand get back soon and catch up more sorry
Take care nikki

Well Jordan is at preschool today...Woot..... Dd started out great this morning... she woke at 2.30 had 150ml bottle and fell back to sleep... :leap: then woke up at 7.30 had a solid feed at 8 then we took Ds to school and she just had another 150ml bottle.... So she is at least eating and drinking today.... she's rubbing her eyes and is tired but doesnt want to sleep.... but thats ok its only us today.... once she does fall asleep she should last a while with no noise here....
Abb- So sorry about ur uncle... hugs... hope the trip isnt too bad for you and hamish... On the BF... i think i kinda cut DD off a bit quick... i woke up leaking last night... :o and with her being sick she was always trying to make me give her booby.... but cos i had started the normal Pill i couldnt feed her....
Speaking of no longer BF.... I still have no AF... its great but not at the same time... i realised it was probably not the BF that was keeping it away and more like the PCOS. But its ok... we have had 1 baby after the PCOS diagnosis and i'm sure when were ready for #3 that i will again... have to have hope...
Nikki- Happy Birthday to cody.... also DD has been seen sitting up and no one knows how so she's either doing it herself ormaybe its DS and DP ?? hehe.....
NaNa- sorry to hear bout ur great aunt also....
Girl.... Nope not preggas yet.... maybe next yr i'd like to get some finances in order and do some more bits and pieces to the house 1st.... DP would like to wait longer but we'll see...

Thanks Girls
Was a bit upset when i posted the other day, heading up to Qld sunday and will be back tuesday, will be a short trip as i am not taking Maddi so dont want to stay too long. Hopefully Hamish flys well as it is only a brief visit he wont have time to settle afterwards, and i am a little worried how he will be at funeral also, but i suppose there isnt alot i can do. Anyhow i will manage.
Jess we have decided to try for another baby when hamish is 18 months, was not sure i wanted another one, before having hamish i was adament we would only have one but now i want another one. Dp has always said its up to me but he would like more but has never pressured me into it.
NaNa sorry to hear about your aunt, it is such a difficult time when someone passes, but even more so when you realise they didnt have mush of a life. My great uncle was the same, mum use to tell us story's about him when she was little and he never married, had children and never travelled or did anything exciting, makes you sad to think what they missed. My uncle was such a fun guy, i have some great memories of him when growing up and Maddi has some fond memories of him too, so it is important for me to attend funeral etc even though it is so far to go for such a short time. Enough of the sadness, i was looking at your pictures on facebook, what a great time you had when on holidays, aadi looks like a little water baby. so cute.
Nikki - thanks. Hamish loves tv, especially roary the racing car and new mcdonalds farm. Hamish is also not really crawling, he manages to move about though but i wouldnt call it crawling as such, he can sit from laying also and is now trying to climb up on things which is kinda annoying.
Hi to everyone else and hope you all have a great weekend.
