Evening Ladies,
Just poppin head in quickly. Bout to head off too bed. Still feeling yuck. Almost went too the hospital lastnight cause i had bad tummy pains. I thought i had apendicitis cause i was really tender in my lower right side. So i had a hot shower to go into the hospital and the pains went away so i just went to bed. Woke up feeling yucky thismorning but well enough to go too work.
Briley is going through hell with her gums!! I dropped her off at FDC thismorning and she slept from 9.10am till 1pm!!! Now she is having a bath and off to bed again.
So am i!!!! I am buggered. Everything is catching up on me.
Sorry this post has been all about us but i am too tired for personals. I am thinking of you all though.
Back in the morning.
Ni night!
Morning ladies,
Feeling a tad better thismorning. I would have had a better sleep in but my dog was howling so i had to get up and let them off!!
Briley has been up and down all night. I ended up putting her in with us at about 4am cause she was waking up so much. She slept a little better with us. Her gums must be really aching.
Kim - I give Briley either a half or a full weetbix for brekkie every morning. I did hear that your not meant to give them wheat till a certain stage cause they can get allergies from it. But like a lot of ppl i know have said, they gave it too their children and they are ok now. My mum even gave it too me. I mean obviously there is that % that would develop an alergy too it but i am not going to starve Briley just worry about that little %.
I have even given her ice-cream. Only little bits but she loves it ofcourse!!
I hope Darcy is sleeping ok for you now....
Vic - I am 7 weeks and 1 day now that i have a new EDD.
Are you ready for the school holidays??? 4 kids all at home!! Woweee you going to be a busy bee!!
Alison - I hope you have a great weekend!! We dont really have much planned. We have a 1'st birthday party too go to this afternoon but thats it really. I just want to stay home but they are expecting us. Have to go and buy the little girl a pressie sometime today too.
Jody - Has your cousin spoken to a Dr about her baby?? Thats odd the the baby is'nt doing things like shaun is. I hope s/he is ok.
Yeh that would suck having someone suck your pool dry. But yeh like some of the other girls said, if it saves someones house then so be it. Water is replaceable, personals possensions are'nt.
Not sure if you saw my msg's on MSN lastnight, but thanks so much for the chrissy card. They are awesome. Its must have cost you a fortune to do the magnet calendar. I would have loved to have done something like that and sent it off to close friends and family. I am going to head out and buy some chrissy cards today to send off.
Nat - Nah don't feel bad mate!! Sorry if i made you feel like that. I am not around as much these days either. Like you i do feel a little bad, but i am too tired to come on sometimes. I try to make an appearance at least once a day.
LOL @ Em pulling the Tic Tac stand down!! It would have been so funny to see!! Luckily for me Briley cant do that yet!! I always lay her down in one of the baby trolley seat thingys so she can't really reach.
Hope you have a great weekend. Sounds busy. BTW - What does HN stand for???
Leanne - Hope everything went according to plan for you!!!
Well i am off to give Briley and me some brekky and then tidy the house. I think my mum is coming out for the weekend so i had better have a tidy home!! Nothing much else on except for the 1'st birthday party!!.
Hope you are all well.

Darcy's a huge fan of caramel sundaes! She does want to eat, she just doesn't like farex. Simple. I added apple to the vb this morning and she wolfed it down. Can't put enough on the spoon.
We aren't doing much either this weekend. My entire support network is away (except for you guys). Darcy's having a jammie day because it's cold and nothing else fits her (will have to go and buy more large bonds suits).
well morninf all
excuse any spelling mistakes my head is very fuzzy all a bit much christmas cheer last night man am i paying now what was i thinking stupid stupid... does any one know how long i should express for before feeding ryan again after a drink or 2 34567 i'm going back to bed DH has had ryan all night and all day so far god love him BBL
Just a quick post gals, WE ARE BACK, got home last night and I must say things are Absolutely Fab, will come back and give more detail over the weekend, but for now I have one drinking/eating and sleeping baby (without the dummy I might add, no dummy since Monday!!!!!!!!) I am so proud of him. We have been doing the control crying self settling thing and I must admit as hard as it was at first it is working, puts himself to sleep atleast 2-3 times a day with only crying for about 5ish minutes. Last night we put him in his own room in his cot, YAY, finally finally we get some sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy atm, will give the details soon, but I really believe that, that dummy may have been the part of the problem to his drinking as he is consistently drinking between 130-160ml every feed. Solids aren't great but they are getting slightly better all the time.
Sorry didn't have time to catch up on the posts, hope all is well with everyone.
Will come back over the weekend and fill you in on the whole story.
Luv yas and thanx for all your support AGAIN.........
Oh and we put him to bed at 7.45pm and he was asleep by 8pm and then slept thru till 6.15am. WOW!!!!!!!!!!
Just got back from lunch with old work mates and seeing santa with Em. Em was quite good good with Santa. Didn't really cry though got a bit scared of the lady that was trying to make him smile. He had just woken up so was all wide eyed and open mouthed LOL. I haven't seen the photos yet as Gordon picked them up for me as I was going to lunch. Then at lunch Emerson was a right little so and so. First he did this great big poo that went up his back side and all over his clothes. I didn't realise this till I went to change him in the pram (because there were no changing facilities where we were having lunch ) and then he kept moving around so the pram got covered in poo as well :eek: . I didn't have my emergency clothes as I used them on him yesterday and forgot to replace them. Then he vomited all over me and then all over himself. And to top it all off after throwing his bottle around I decided to take it off him and as I was taking the lid off to put it away he launched out of the pram for the table and hit it everywhere.... Not to mention the entire time he just wanted to escape the pram or high chair... We agreed that next year I will just bring a photo of him and leave Em at home LOL.
Kim ME – have a life?!?! LOL. I am getting things ticked off my list slowly but surely. I forgot how much longer things take with a baby in tow! *I think* the milk and fibre thing is frowned upon due to allergies etc. Em has weetbix every morning for breakfast made with his formula and he loves it. He was never a huge fan of farex either but loved his fruit so I just gave him that. I have also heard that cows milk is fine in their diet after 6 months as long as its not the main component – which in your case it definitely isn’t. Green tea – that is really surprising! YAY for her being able to drink out of cup – Em struggles with a bloody sippy cup LOL.
Vic Good luck with the school holidays. Some parents dread it and others look forward to it! I let Em have pizza crust as well as well as chips – he loves them.
Alison YAY for having a newly fixed laptop :lol:. Sounds as though you’ve got a busy weekend! Em didn’t take too well to his needles last time either. I might wait until next week for Em to have his rather then the week before Christmas LOL.
Sara I hope you’re feeling better sweety. OMG Em eats 2 weetbix each morning… is that a lot?
Shazz hahaha @ you being hungover :lol:
Sheree Welcome back hun. I’m so glad to hear that things have improved with your little man! What a great Christmas present!
Em is asleep so I'm going to either wrap presents, write our cards or go and blow up the new pool we got the other day LOL. I also have washing to hang out and ironing to do (despite thinking creases are the new in thing LOL) - oh the joys! I hope I haven’t missed any one!
Oh and I’m sending out my Christmas cards over the next few days so can I grab everyone’s addresses?? (if you feel comfortable with me knowing where you live :lol: - lea13@bellybelly.com.au) thanks girls!!
Nat you can have mine if I can have yours:P !
Cool I'm coming to you girls next time. I bought some extra yoghurt to try with the porridge....but, I had a look at the kids porridge and it says for 1 and over too! So much for good advice from the health service :dunno:
Hey Sheree, that's great to hear he's drinking well. Darcy's not a big eater either. It requires you to sit still too long. How was your time away?
Shazz, hope you're feeling better.
OK so I've reread this bit and it's just a rant. Skip please.
I've had a weird day too Nat. Some good bits and some bloody awful bits.
Darcy let me snooze til 8, but wouldn't have a morning sleep. I went to have lunch with Cam, but he was as cranky as all get up. I got a great price on a wondersuit because the lady got it wrong (3.87 instead of 7.97), but I'm pretty sure my marriage is unsalvageable. I was ready to call it quits and then I spoke to Cam who said he'd apologised to all the poeple he offended today and got some good advice and was going to get some help. He's taken a couple of days off work and is coming to the sleep school with me, but last night he was so convinced she was crying with him on purpose and nearly threw her. I got to see my sister's wedding dress, but felt so crappy that I couldn't get as ecxited as I should have been for her. I have just had a weird day.
Sara, glad you are feeling better today. I had one of those nights with Cooper where he woke constantly, and by about the 6th trip into him, I decided to get into the spare bed with him. He sleeps soundly when I am with him and we slept til 7:45 which was nice. mind you I get woken by a cold hand put on my cheek...cheeky boy.
Shazz...hope you have recovered from your night out. I only need 1 drink these days and I am ready for bed, sad hey. Hows the head?
Sheree, so glad things have turned around for you and Lachie. Sounds like they have done wonders with him, and woohoo on getting a full nights sleep. I bet you didnt know yourself today.
Nat, sounds like an eventful lunch. Yes I would hold off on the needles if you can until after Christmas at least. It took Cooper a week to get back to being his happy self. I was getting ready to cancel my trip to Sydney he was so grizzly. But my mum would have disowned me had I done that.
Kim, I am so sorry you and Cam are having these problems. I dont really know what to say, but I am thinking of you :hugs:
Cooper took a bit to settle tonight. Normally he has his bottle, a cuddle with me for 5 mins then I put him in his cot and put on his ocean wonders aquarium...and he goes to sleep. Not tonight though, he fell asleep during his bottle so I put him to bed and had my dinner. Half an hour later he screamed and I resettled him, he went to sleep. 10 minutes later he screamed again. This went on for a few times. Each time I left his room I thought 'Ahhh thats it, he is going to sleep'. But nope...he kept waking and screaming, so i resorted to panadol. Poor mite...he is asleep now and I think will stay that way. Boy its tiring, I'm not use to a struggle at night. He got some Chrissy presents today so enjoyed playing with them. He is spoilt! He will get a ton tomorrow from his nanny and poppy, they spoilt him even before he was born!!!
Time to do some tidying, the house is a pig sty. Have a good night everyone.
he he i'm all good NOW ... won't be doing that again for a very very long time
i'll be on tomorrow for a catch up i'm so so tired
nite
New thread time girls
Love
