Sorry I have'nt been on this week, I have been pretty busy with Briley, housework and tying up last minute things with the purchase of our new house. Not sure if i have told you guys but we just bought a place about 1/2 an hour outside of Townsville. Its a small farm on 5 acres with lots and lots of fruit trees. We move in on the 5 September. I can't wait. It has always been a dream of mine to have my children grow up on a farm with lots of animals and the whole country life. Brent grew up in Gilgandra which is in western NSW on 200 acres so he knows what its like. So its been a dream of his aswell.
Briley is going well. Her belly button has completely healed and her conjuctivitis has just about gone. She did get a rash on her cheeks which looked like a heat rash but i was'nt sure. I ended up putting nappy rash cream on it and it has completely healed. She is really starting to get into a routine at night times. Which is good for me!! She has a bath at about 7.30 - 8, then a bottle and bed time at about 9. She normally sleeps till about 1.30 and wakes for a feed but sometimes sleeps a little longer. She then wakes at 6ish for another bottle and then we both sleep till around 8.30 - 9.
She is growing soooo fasts. She babbles and smiles heaps now. She is a very happy baby really. I took her over to my dad's house the other day for the first time and she loved him. She was babbling away to him. My dad is'nt a real sensitive person at all and i think his eyes welled up cause he would'nt look at me after he handed her back. I thought that was sweet. Everyone is really starting to fall in love with her now. My family i mean. My brother is only 13 and everytime we go to mums he fusses over her.
Lea - How are you and Emerson going?? Its amazing how quickly they grow hey! I was reading your post bout your sleep walking. Thats feaky mate!! Lucky nothing happened.
Marlea - Hello there! You've prolly got plenty advice already but ill offer a little if you like. My DD Briley was struggling a bit with colic so i brought some gripe water and added it to her bottles and since she has been really good. I have also noticed a difference in her bowel movements aswell. She seems to move them a lot easier and not struggling as much. I also FF and have been using Heinz Nuture 1 Starter, it seems really good. You should speak to your dr or child health nurse before changing her formula but. Hope it all works out for you.
As for me, my bleeding has stopped but i have been getting a lot of yellowy discharge (hope its not TMI!!!). Yesterday i had some really bad cramps too. It was like real bad period pain. I have to go back to the Dr next week so ill have to talk to her about it. Other than that. We are all going well. Brent is doing an excellent job at fatherhood. I do have to remind him sometimes about putting himself before Briley but that is to be expected this early in the piece.
I hope all is well with everyone. I will be back this week. Till then, take care.
