There are many issues that you will encounter as a new parent. We have put together this list of useful articles and threads in order to assist you with some common questions or issues you may have, and to provide you with bit of extra support that we all need as new parents:
Please contact the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) or a Lactation Consultant if you are concerned that you may have breastfeeding and/or supply problems, and before the introduction of solids.
Your old thread can be found HERE You may have noticed that the baby details are missing at the start of the thread. This is so parents can post where-ever they feel comfortable without having their details in 1 thread and posting in another and often feeling like an outsider within both threads. We will be increasing signature lengths slightly soon so you can accomadate your babies birth details if you wish and can't already fit them it.
Deb, glad you enjoyed your trip - hope Al's cheeks have survived and he's over his 'tea and sugar' addiction from everyone believing he needs it! So sorry to hear about Al's Teddy. The same thing happened to DD and we went out and bought a new, almost identical one the next day. She still sleeps with it.
Just to say we have updated Al's page so you can see some recent photos of him and his big mumma!
I'm just about to contact the airport to see if Teddy has turned up there. Al managed alright last night without him, but does keep on asking for him. Thanks for your thoughts!
Aww Deb, I love Al's website. I laughed when I saw Al and the newspaper on the plane! Looks like fun. He's growning up beautifully. Such a happy and good looking boy. I did have a tear however when I saw Al's missing sign. Poor T-e-d-d-y. I hope you can find him.
Hi Bec! Hope the IL visit is going well. We'll be with ours this weekend...
Rachel - thanks for looking - and for the compliments!! :-) He's such a little darling, even if he still wakes us in the middle of the night!
Teddy Update - Teddy has been located!! they found him at the airport and is now, of all places, with the Police!!! We can bail him out today. Bad Teddy!!!!!!! But we're relieved he is ok.
hi girls, sorry I've been MIA, been sick and also very busy with just stuff, you know how it is.
DH and I both had this awful gastro type thingy this week, but we were vomitting all week, lovely! Can't post right now, but not much has been happening with us except I enrolled Super C into a baby gymnastics class and he absolutely loves it. I would recommend it to any of you mums who have very active little boys, it certainly gives them a workout...must dash, catch up with you all soon...xxxoo
Kate, I read your massive post in previous one, you definately put me to shame. I always have a pic of kids with Santa, but until they are about 3 -4 DH and I are usually in the pic too, holding child, and sitting on the arm of the chair KWIM??? So maybe you could hold Kelsey and Santa Rylee?? Or maybe you hold Rylee and Dh hold Kelsey ??? Thats what we do anyway.
Deb, that is a gorgeous website, and I love the running commentary, I was devestated for Al's loss, but now the world in right again *phew*
Bec, hope you enjoy the IL's visit
Brooke and Maya, Hay and Pup + 1, Gemma and Amy, Rachel and Blake, Bel and Coby. Love to you all
Well I am exhausted, but exhilerated. The girls birthday went off fabulously. the lunch was perfect and everone loved ice skating and were all doing well by the end of the session ( except Rianna - she had a go between my legs, but found it a bit scary)the house is nearly back to tidy, and all in bed asleep ( now Im gunna go to I think zzzzzzz)
my nephew's party tomorrow ( he was born the same day as the girls)so busy busy.
I hated Santa when I was a kid. Almost every photo we have (actually, EVERY photo!) is one of me crying!! Funny now though!! We are taking Pup to see Santa at Myer next week when we are in Melb for our anniversary/Xmas shopping. Hope it is a good one like last year!
Deb, that copper looks MEAN in the photo on your website. BTW, website looks good and glad you found T-e-d-d-y!!
We had our extended family Xmas BBQ yesterday in Melbourne and then didn't get home until almost 9pm. We stopped in Geelong on the way home for dinner (Hungry Jacks). Pup drank 1/2 a small drink of coke, so he was wired until about 11pm!!! Sheesh! It also didn't help that he fell asleep in the car ont he way home, so there was no way he was ready to go to bed when we wanted him to. Ahh well, it's only rarely this happens. I can live with it.
Have another blood test on Tuesday and then ultrasound on 14th. I am taking this pg in my stride a lot better than Pup's, but will still be utterly relieved with a great scan.
Hi, we have been with the ILs over the weekend. Kept close eye on MIL so there was no big drama for once. Although she did attempt to off load some of her clutter as usual, DH is such a sucker he came home with a bag of wires and some very old and useless xmas decorations...the type of stuff you look at and wonder what do we do with it?? Otherwise it was pretty good. We did the very traditional start to Christmas, with advent candles and songs and stuff like that. DH is trying to show us the way they celebrate here, which is much more formal than I'm used to.
Thanks for all the nice comments about the site. We have a happy boy with an even stronger affection for his t-e-d-d-y.
Hope you're feeling better Bel.
Hi and hugs to all!!
Uh oh. Al had a 40 degree fever overnight and now has spots!!!! I wonder what they will turn out to be? Keeping a very close eye on him right now. Its just one thing after the next with this kid - I remember how simple my life was before I had Al to worry about!!! Will keep you posted...
