Blanche- sorry to hear about the pnd. Good to hear you that the medication is helping too. My thoughts are with you.
Lulu- We go to oceanic waterbabies at kaleeya hospital in East Femantle but they do have other locations but it is very popular there is a waiting list to get in.
Amelie absolutley screamed last night for an hour at bed time I thought maybe it was her teeth but I cant see or feel anything and she is fine this morning, except for waking up at 3:30am crying because she had flipped onto her tummy and couldnt get back. That is the first time she has done that and she wasnt happy.
Blanche - sorry to hear the PND has really set in but good on you for getting some help and great that the meds are kicking in already. Its bloody hard work mentally, physically and emotionally looking after two little kiddies and you're doing an amazing job - don't forget that. It does get better, so hang in there.
blanche - dorry to hear about your pnd but so glad its been recognised and you are getting some help. huge hugs hon, it cant be easy for you.
sorry this is a quick one we are at an internet cafe and dont have long left. sounds like a lot f unsettled bubs at moment, jo jo included, after two nights of barely any sleep and lots of crying a tooth brokethrough yesterday, then last night he slept better, i tell you i feel a whole lot better. got some commando crawling going on but he only goes backwards lol, time about to run out
hello to everyone be back on weekend to do personals
Hi all,
Just blowin back in again while I've got a spare few minutes- should be folding the washing ut bugger it I say!
My haven't we got some busy bubs with crawling, teeth & swimming certificates!
Lulu- good luck with the needles- Harry was fine after his 18mo ones so hopefully Izzy wil be too. Harry had his done at the same time as macey's 4mo needles and I think its better to get them all done together and out of the way. Macey was suppoed to have her 6mo check today but we went to the beach instead as the weather was fab so she'll get hers done next Tues now.
Blanche: Good on you girl for having the strength to acknowledge & reach out for help with the PND. I can only imagine how low some days must be for you but hopefully the meds are helping you to find the light at the end of the tunnel. My neighbour( & good friend) has just been diagnosed with PND and I've been feeling completely useless in not knowing how I can help her get back to a better place.
Macey is doing well- loves rolling on her belly but then gets stuck there. Last few days she started pulling her knees up underneath and then pushes backwards with her arms so she ends up off her mat. She is also getting stronger sitting up but still not by herself- is always easier though when she has a full belly to help her rest on :-)
Can't remember who wished me luck for my massage but it turned out to be faaarrrrr from relaxing. Id been getting aching legs of a nighttime in bed so the guy worked sssooooo hard on my thighs and lower back that I am now 3 days later severley bruised down both legs!-I kid you not! Both legs are black, purple & green down each side and has been so painful trying to sleep the last few nights. My DH couldn't believe it as I hardly ever bruise. He keeps telling me to explain to people how I really got them as I think he worries that people might think that he had something to do with it. So all in all, I don't think I'lll be going back to that massage man again.
We've had 2 hot dry windy days here and change has just coem thru with an awesome lightening & thunder show outside so I'd be go & post in case we lose power.
Hugs to everyone (especially Blanche) Never frget that you are a super-mum even if you don't always feel like it. Tommorow will always be a better day that today.
So sorry to hear that Blanche. I hope things start looking more positive for you from now.
beckstar - WOW! You must be in so much pain. He must have massaged you very deeply.
klee - woohoo on Joshua commando crawling, backwards! lol That must look so cute.
kristale - has she had any more screaming fits? Emily loves sleeping on her belly now. Each time I put her into bed for a sleep, she rolls straight onto her belly. We've had to buy some cot bumpers though, as she keeps getting her legs stuck through the bars, and screams. I know they're not SIDS recommended, but we had no choice. It's either that, or have her wake herself up at night.
laranna - that's good the needles went well. I still haven't booked ours. Emily isn't even 6 months yet, so I suppose it doesn't matter. I should ring up today though, to make an appointment.
Gotta run, Emily is cracking it.
ETA: back now, Emily woke up at 5.30 after doing a massive poo and leaking through. She's since done another poo, and is still really cranky. My guess is it's a tooth giving her grief.
I stopped breastfeeding last week. It was a hard decision, but one I had to make for the sake of my health. I have very low iron, and breastfeeding was taking too much out of me.
I tired Emily on yoghurt this week. She loves it, but she poos almost straight away, and has an unsettled period for a few hours after having it. So I think I'll ease up on the yoghurt and try and again in a month or so.

Jodi- Yep Amelie has still been screaming everynight. In the end I calm her down enough so she is quiet then put her in her cot and as soon as I close the door she starts again. So I have been leaving her 10mins and she is asleep before the time is up but that is sooo hard when she is really screaming and real tears so heatbreaking. I hope it ends soon. We are going away tomorrow to so it will be hell trying to deal with it at someone elses place.
