love your av!!! :D
my tummy is hurting again too :(
Good morning ladies,
I just had to get on here asap this morning and tell you all about how good sleep school went yesterday. I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. I spent the day at the sleep school and they taught me so much. I thought that I was doing really well catching her tired signs but I was still leaving her awake way to long. I was missing her very early tired signs and the ones that I was noticing were her very obvious ones and so she was already overtired and that was why I was having a nightmare of a time settling her. I was also being way to fussy putting her to bed and messing around with her and I wasn't giving her the chance or opportunity to settle herself. Since they showed me the very early signs and how to put her to bed my little princess has been an angel and I am already noticing the difference in her moods.
I'm not at all deluded and realise that it is only been 24hours but I am so much more confident and realised that I'm not a bad mum if I let her cry. I must admit that yesterday she didn't like having to settle herself and she was bellowing and I burst into tears and they sent me to bed and they let her settle herself (took her 25mins).
Overnight she had her bath and feed starting at 6.30pm was in bed by 7.45pm and slept until 1.30am. Quick feed back in bed by 2.30am and slept until 7.30am. Each time she settled herself with only short length of crying. I'm just about bursting with pride. My little girl CAN settle herself. It was mummy who thought she couldn't. It is her crying that gets me so they gave me the tip to entertain myself for 5 mins by making a cup of tea or putting on a load of washing or locking myself in a room where I can't hear her so I am distracted and not standing at her door getting all upset. It is helping me as I'm not standing there watching her cry and throw her arms around so I don't feel like I have to race in there and pick her up.
One good day down let's see if we can have two in a row. One day at a time.
Tan - I love your avator. It's so cute. That is awesome sleep overnight that your little girl is doing. Keep up the good work Izzy. Isn't that witching hour horrible. It is so hard when they are so fussy. They really like to make us crazy don't they? I have the Beema Q Elite. It is a great pram and can be either laying completely flat or sitting upright and anywhere in between. It does take up quite a bit of boot space but I love it so I don't care. I'm not sure who much they sell for because I got mine as a deal and only paid the price of the older model (approx $400).
Danni - What have you been doing to make your tummy hurt? Make sure you look after yourself. You guys had major abdominal surgery and your bodies need time to recover. Be kind to yourselves. How long is Mason sleeping for you now?
Has anyone else's tummy muscles split? Mine have split and I can fit two fingers in between them. It's gross. I need to make an appointment with a physio. Better do that today before they get worse I suppose.
Sorry for such a self absorbed post. I'll be back later and catch up. I'm off to check out the new chat rooms. As if this forum wasn't addictive enough they give us live chat :dance:.
Luv Dan.
so glad to see you so happy dan! i really hope it works for your and Olivia. I hate the crying too...it breaks my heart!
Mason slept for 8 hours last night, feed for 10 mins, then down for another 3 hours. The night before he did 11 hours, 10 min feed, then down for 4 hours.
last night he didnt go to bed until much later, so from now on we will try earlier.
:hello: to everyone else!
hey guys,,, i managed to get time to put some of our professional pics on masons site :)
Hi guys
Just wanted to pop in and let you know I now have the flu, when will my bad luck run out?!
Hope all is well with mums and bubs.
Dan - I got all teary reading your post. You can actually hear and feel your relief and confidence. I was there too, with the help of mum and lots of time Im slowly working out those cues too although Im sure I get them sooo wrong at times! I still need to work on resettling her after she only sleeps for an hour. Big hugs to you hun - hope you have another good day and remember that even if you dont- it just means you can try again tomorrow.:hug: My av is cute hey - doesnt look a thing like me!
Danni - WTG on the photos - loooking good hunny!!;)
Ash - You really are having a rough time of it - Im sure everyone else will join in - because I think you need this:grouphug: Take care of yourself hun, Im sure things will start to settle down and improve for you soon.
Um gotta go feed a grizzly child - but before I do OMG! I want to know one thing.... How on earth does this small beautiful, gorgeous girl manage to s*** so much in one nappy?? I just changed one thinking I had wrapped it up tight and I dripped poo all over my hand, the floor and nappy bin. Grooooosssssss!
Hey girls,
Yay for all those bubs who are settling and sleeping well. Ash hope you make a fast recovery!
Sorry this is going to be a selfish post, we are having a hard time at the moment and I'm not sure what to do. Little miss is just so unsettled and cries constantly and then I end up in tears as well. I can hear her tummy rumbling so I think she has some digestive issues. My MCHN keeps saying she has colic but I think its more than that. I was also told to try her on formula as maybe my milk is upsetting her. So as much as I want to continue bf we are going to go on a trial of formula only for a few days and see how she goes. And I'll keep expressing to keep my milk supply just in case this doesn't work.
Keep your fingers crossed for me please as I don't know how much more of this we can take, breaks my heart to see her so distressed.
Ok dumb question for those who bottle feed, do you make the formula up straight into the bottles and can you make them up in advance and store in fridge? Sorry, no clue here! My friend recommended Nan, what does everyone else use? Ta!!
Lis - hugs to you too hun, you poor thing. Correct me if Im wrong formula mums but I read somehwere that you can make up a jug ( a days worth) or formula and store it in the fridge. That way you can pour it out into the bottle as you need it? I might be wrong sorry, but Im sure I read it in Baby love or in Kidwrangling. Will check now for you and let you know. I used NAN when i was topping her up in the first few days home as the hossy recommended it. BBS
Yep just checked Kidwrangling - they say you can make up a whole batch in a jug say, and then divide it up into your sterilised bottle and store in the fridge. Baby Love does too - obviously you need to make sure the proportions are right and they say you can store in either a jug or individual bottles.
HtH
Yep lis, I make mine up all at once, I have small 125mL bottles and large 260mL bottles. With the big bottles I make up 250mL and these are top up bottles (I have 6) and I have about 10 of the small bottles which I make up to 100mL (1 scoop per 50mL of water). You need quite a few bottles if you're planning on FF full time, just so when some are dirty you have some ready etc. We are using a thickened formula so not sure about Nan but have heard this is closest to breastmilk consitency, followed by Bellamy's Organic (Blake was on this and loved the taste, but he was having issues with staying full and chucking a bit hence the move to AR formula).
Lis - huge hugs for you. Unfortunately I know just what you're going through with Elena. I've just come through two weeks of hell with Izzy (she's exactly two weeks older than Elena) so maybe its a development issue with these colic/reflux babies?
Best of luck with the formula trial. One question though - who suggested it might be your milk that was upsetting her?? Not saying its not, but please don't think its TOTALLY your milk. I cut out dairy and then slowly phased it back in and it seemed to help Izzy. I also know not to touch garlic or chilli at all. May not be what is affecting Elena, but its worth a shot.
One final thing - the colic mix I am now giving Isabelle seems to be fantastic. It is completely natural, she likes the taste and it really seems to be helping settle her stomach and get rid of her wind. Please let me know if you want to try some - I'm more than happy to pack a bottle up and post it over. It may be coincidence, but she is certainly far more settled now.
Crossing my fingers things settle down soon for you.
Thanks so much girls, my mum is here today so I can get some rest but poor Elena is still really unhappy.
Lulu I've tried cutting out dairy, onion, garlic, chilli and a million other things. I also don't eat any processed foods or take away food, my diet is really bland and simple at the moment. It was my MCHN that suggested that it might be my milk, I'm not convinced but I'm willing to give anything a try at the moment. I've also got a natural colic mix as well that is made up by a naturopath, not sure if it is the same as yours? It does help her a little but I think this is more than colic now particularly as now she is so much better at burping all that wind out.
Ash and Tan thanks heaps, I'm so clueless lol!
Hello girls!!
We went to Melbourne as usual for Noah's foot and were expecting another plaster and then the tenotomy next week on Wednesday but Dr. P had a look and said that Noah has made great progress and he would like to put the tenotomy on hold. So Noah got fitted for his boots and brace and we go down every 2 weeks to review and make sure that he is progressing still. The boots and bar stay on 23/7 for the first 3 months and then for sleeps until he is 2 or 3. I will try to get pics on my webpage over the next couple of days of him in his new fancy shoes. These ones cost $550!!! Lets hope he doesn't need too many more...:pray:
Lis - :hug: to you. It is hard to see your little one so distressed. Just try what you need to and I hope you find something that works. Have you tried something for reflux? I can't remember if you had sorry.
Tan :lol: at the nappy thing, I am always having issues, today Noah had poo all up the inside of his singlet suit and all over him.
Ashlee - Have you still got the flu? Poor thing, you look after yourself hun!
Danni - I love the photos, they look great, what a gorgeous family you all make!
Dan - I am so happy for you that sleep school worked for you! Is Olivia keeping it up?
Well the boy is crying again, he can't handle not being in my arms and I have so much to do, I might have to take off the bar and put him in the wrap until I get things done. Talk to you all soon!
Hi everyone, just wanted to drop in and say that I'm loving mummyhood and enjoying my little man so much! Of course, it has it's moments, but on the whole it's just the best!
Hope you're all going well :) I still read everyone's posts, I just don't have much time to post myself.
Love Sez xoxo
where is everyone?????
Hey sez! i love motherhood too!
2 days ofbarely any posts....is everyone ok??
Hi Everyone!
I am so computer illiterate, have been arguing with mine all day aaargh!! Can anyone help - I am trying to put photo beside ticker but it says file is too big! I have been trying to reduce size and have nooo idea!!! I have been at the ticker website trying to work it out and am getting so frustrated, surely it can't be so hard everyonbe else has nice piccies of their babies!!! Please help!! Other than fighting with my comp, Angus has been a good boy today, has actually slept in his cot!! Went to sleep talking to his new mobile and listening to the music on it, what a good boy!
Lulu, Isabelle sounds like Angus, I had to cut out garlic, chilli, cabbage, lentils and stuff cause he had chronic wind the poor thing! Lis, I hope the colic mix and formula lets you have some rest, poor Elena. Sez, Danni, being a Mum is the best job in the world hey. I have 3 but am trying to convince my DH for another one!! Sure there are times when I pull my hair out, but on the whole it is so rewarding!!
Anyway my boy just woke up and thinks he is hungry. He has been snacking a bit today, not sure why?? He is a big hungry boy!! Take care everyone!!
Michelle :dance:
Hello!!
Thought I'd better pop in and let you all know that I'm still here!!! I've just had a really crazy week and haven't had time to post!! We've been out and about quite a bit, which has been really great, but I'm just soo exhausted from it all, so a day home today has been just lovely!!
We've had a few dramas with Luke throughout the week too - he's been extremely upset after feeds and at one point, was refusing to feed! It was sooo distressing but luckily we had an appointment with the paedetrician (sp?) and as I suspected, he does have refux. He's always been a sicky baby but it wasn't really upsetting him until now and it's certainly hasn't been affecting his weight gain (the big boofer)!! So they're reluctant to do too much about it at this stage but I think I'm going to have to go back as it's really upsetting him now. I've just had him screaming at the top of his lungs for the last hour and there's nothing I can do. Actually the doc told us we could give him a little bit of mylanta, so I might run out and get some - it's so distressing seeing him so upset - he's obviously in soo much pain, my poor little man!! Thankfully, he's asleep now and he's not doing it after every feed, so I'm still praying its going to improve again!
On a brighter note, we had our first long stint between feeds the night before last. My good little boy went 7.5 hours between feeds. Of course, it started at 6.30pm, so I didn't quite get enough sleep out of it but it's given me hope. I'm just trying to work out how we managed to do it coz last night, he was back to about 4 and 5 hours between feeds - still good but man, 7.5 hours would just be heaven if it happened at the right time!!
Anyway, thats enough from me right now - sorry for another selfish post.

Good evening mums and bub's,
I really quick post from me because I'm using someone else's computer and Olivia is upset and crying. Our sleeping has generally been going really well but she has had a few upset sleeps the last two evenings. Wondering if this is going to be her witching hour or if we are doing something wrong with our settling.
We are off to Melbourne for a week which I'm worried about because I have no idea how Olivia is going to cope being away from home and in a cot for the first time. Fingers crossed it will all be alright.
This going to be my last post until next weekend because I am going to have no internet access at all so I'm going to go into major BB withdrawal but catching up for lunch on Wednesday should get me through.
Sez - It's fantastic to hear that you are enjoying being a mum. It is great isn't it? How Nicky's weight gain going?
Sarah - that is awesome news about Noah. What a relief that he doesn't need this op. Hope he's adjusting to his new boot and it isn't bothering him too much.
Kelly - Great to hear from you. It's good that you've got it diagnosed that Luke has reflux so that you can do something to help him out now so he won't be in as much pain after his feed and hopefully he'll be able to sleep a bit better during the day for you.
Can't wait to see everyone for lunch on Wednesday. Olivia and I are really looking to meeting everyone face to face.
Hope all these gorgeous babies are being good and letting their mums get lots of rest and sleep.
Luv Dan.
Sarah - great news about Noah (although not good news about the price of that boot!!) Still, if it does the trick I guess its worth it.
Dan - good luck with your trip to Melbourne. I'm sure Olivia wil adjust well to her road trip and hopefully keep the decent sleeping going so you aren't so tired and can enjoy your trip.
Lis - how's the formula trial going? I hope its working and giving you some respite and Elena some comfort.
Kelly - sorry to hear Luke has reflux. Its awful isn't it when there is nothing you can do to help alleviate their pain. Hopefully the Mylanta will work.
Michelle - can't offer any help on changing your photo unfortunately. I have a computer geek husband who does all that sort of stuff for me! (he's not here right now so I can't ask him for you) but I think Sarah will know for you.
Michelle, Sez and Danni - I'm really glad you are all enjoying motherhood. I have to say I'm not - there are days when its ok and days when I truly hate it. I love my little girl but life at the moment is pretty miserable except for the very occasional enjoyable moment. Like today - she fed 3 hourly through the night and has been awake and screaming for hours now. I'm supposed to be going to my in-laws this afternoon for FIL's birthday and I'm just dreading it. Hopefuly she'll turn the corner soon and get more settled so that it can start being fun, but my plans for a quick No. 2 are definitely on hold!
kelly: try gaviscon. Sarah and I use it for our boys and it really works. you can get it over the counter at the chemist too. Hopefully he outgrows it quickly...Mason seems to have gotten over the worst part of it.
lulu: I am so sorry to hear you feel that way hunny. If she is so irritable, something must be hurting her? Have you seen the nurse or doctor? could it be reflux, colic etc? i really hope she becomes more settled soon :hugs:
Well Dale, Mason and I spent the weekend with Sarah and her gorgeous family! Our bubs were on their best behaviour and we so cute together. will get some pics off sarah soon! xx
Hi ladies - hope you have all had a great weekend!
lulu - hugs to you hun, I really hope things improve for you so you can enjoy your little girl. :hugs: It must be so hard for you - I hope your afternoon went ok too today. I know what you mean about number 2 - I just want my body/bbs/etc back for a while... maybe when shes about 2.
Kelly -I hope the mylanta works for you too hun - poor little Luke. Yay on the longer sleeps - Izzy does the same going down between 6-8 for quite a long time - anywhere from 6-10 hours! like you said - you dont necessarily get the sleep at the same time but I find i can spend time with Al and just relax a bit. Especially as shes quite unsettled leading up to this sleep.
Dan - only 3 more sleeps! Cant wait to meet you! Heres hoping Olivia sleeps for you - they are pretty resilient little things arent they though! Izzy has slept in her pram, on friends beds and couches, friends arms and grandmas cot -so far so good! I posted the other day about Izzys sleeping and I really think they all have a time each day that they just crack the s***s and wont settle even if they are bathed, held, fed etc.. they just want to have a grizzle and then get over it!
Michelle -I use photo studio to resize my pics - i choose the photo and then left clcick on open with.... photo studio and then when in that i go to edit= resize photo. I then save it as tcker or something like that. Having said that I havent had to do that with lilypie maybe my camera resolution isnt that high though. Sounds like Angus and Izzy both love their mobiles- although she doesnt fall asleep to it - but she just loves it in there and i love puttin her safe in there while i have a shower! I also figure Im getting her used to her cot!
Sarah - yay for Noah! You must be so pleased - but that boot and bar sounds expensive - heres hoping you dont have to update it too often hun. Have you decided about what you might do on Wednesday yet??
Danni- it was quiet in here wasnt it - has everyone been in the live chat - Im obsessed! Mad woman. Cant wait to see you and little spunk man again on Wednesday! Hope hes been a good boy!
Sez - yay for Nicholas - isnt it fun watching these little monkeys grow and learn!
:hello: To all you gorgeous mums and bubs that Ive missed!
Well ladies we have been really well- Izzy is really in a good sleeping pattern now - with the exception of her witching hours - which as i said before - i think is so normal, she is so good for the rest of the day and night that I thnk she deserves a few hours of grizzling and cuddles. Especially after she slept for 10 hours last night ! From 8pm to 6am... typical though - we had friends over and I didnt go to bed til 1am!!
Not sure that it will happen again because i put her to bed at 7 after her feed and she was still grizzling and sucking hard on her dummy at 8 so i gave her a little feed again, so i thnk thats what did it... not sure if i should give her a little feed every night 2 hours after her last one.
Shes also so responsive now to everyone.! We get so many cute gurgles and excited kicks and smiles now! Even Al was saying to someone today, no matter how tired or hung over he is !! when he goes in to her room in the morning and sees her little gummy smile it wakes him right up!
Well we got the Strider 3!! After all our dramas - took it out today - its great, I would have like a more outdoorsy pram but really - Im not that ourdoorsy so the latte pram it is!! Ha ha!! I love having her facing me too - thats the best bit about it i think!
Well ladies - Grays is about to come on and i need a rest from staring at this screen!
Danni, Alex and Dan - cant wait til Wednesday!! Anyone else joining us???? Kristen, lis, Sez..anyone else in Melbourne????
Catch you all soon!
hey babe, YES the small feed just before bed will work! mason always has a few mouthfuls before bed to fill him up:)
Hello lovelies! Just wanted to tell Kelly to try the Gaviscon, as Danni suggested. We use it for Nick and it seems to be working a treat :) Good luck hun!
Sorry for being AWOL ladies!!!!
But have been mega busy working, and had a housewarming and a 21st party this weekend!!
So glad to be sitting on my bum doing nothing!!!:)
Sounds like everyone is going alright...And these bubbas are sleeping for longer and longer it seems.. Toby slept from 9pm till 8am on Fri nite!!11 hours!! I nearly had a heart attack when I woke up!!:lol:
Hopefully I can make it on Wed girls.. cause I have some dogs booked in at 4pm.. but even if I can only come for an hour, that will be ok.. It will just be lovely to meet all you lovely melb ladies and bubbas!!!
Ok gotta get to bed..I'm freezing.....
NIGH NIGH( That's what Jack says!!hehehehe):p
Hi girls,
Huge hugs Lulu - I know exactly how you feel hun and OMG I could have written your post exactly. There are some days when I think I just can't do this anymore and others when I absolutely love it. I hope things start to improve for you soon. I'm with you on not rushing to have no.2, maybe when little miss is toilet trained so I don't have two in nappies lol!
Hi to everyone else, sorry don't have much time for personals. We had a great weekend with long sleeps and being much more settled but today she screamed again for hours. I just don't know what else to do. I'm going to see the MCHN again tomorrow so I'll see what she says.
Tan would love to meet you all but I'm so scared of Elena screaming like she did today, we haven't been going out much apart from visiting family and the short trip to the shops. Sigh I hope things get better soon so that I feel more confident taking her out.
Hope all the mummas and bubbas are doing well, sorry I'm a bit down today :(
Hi girls :)
Sorry i'm never around - i've just been flat out. Spent the wkend in Cooma (4.5 hrs away from my home) visiting Mum and saying goodbye to my Grandad who is dying and not expected to last the rest of the month. It was a tough, emotional trip but very worthwhile. I feel blessed to have been given the chance to say goodbye to my Grandad and have him meet my beautiful girls.
Tia is doing really well. We have a cardiologist appointment on Friday so we should get an idea of when her open heart surgery will take place (fingers crossed it'll be closer to 12 months than 6).
I have no idea what's been happening on here with all of you lovely mums and bubs but i think of you often and hope all is going great and that you are all enjoying motherhood as much as i am.
Lis - big hugs to you and Elena. I'm so sorry you are still battling against her horrible colic. You are an awesome mummy for soldiering-on the way you are when it must be incredibly difficult. I truly hope this passes very soon.
Ash - miss you honey - hope you and Blakey are doing well.
We have all disappeared the last couple of weeks!!! I might have to make Wednesday a miss I am afraid. I would really love to come but a combination of a lack of funds and now I am sick makes it a no go now. We will have to do another Melbourne meet up when the weather is warmer.
Dan - I am sad that I won't get to meet you this time but if I go back for another visit to Mount Beauty I will have to make a trip over your direction to meet up. That means me getting on my P's because Juz won't do the 7 hour drive on his own again :lol:
Danni - It was great to hang out over the weekend, we will have to plan to come down to visit you very soon. Noah has copied Masons bubble blowing :lol:
Tan - I think it is stupid the boots cost so much, theres nothing to them. Also considering the fact that if he had the tenotomy they would have been given to him at no cost. Definitly have to meet up again soon since I am missing out this week.
Ok Noah has cracked it again, I will have to wait until he goes to sleep to finish my personals. Have a great day!!!
Hey All,
It sounds like everyone has had a few bad weeks! We have all just got over the sniffles, then wouldn't you know it we have all had a 24hr gastro bug. Poor Angus 2 nights ago had really bad smelly diarhoea, wouldn't feed and basically screamed all the time. Poor little thing, I had to get a friend over just so I could have a bath and a rest!! Then yesterday my 3 yr old vomited all day!! She seems heaps better today though, but now I have about 10 loads of dirty washing!! Am waiting for my 8 yr old to get it now!!! I can look back and kinda laugh at our disastrous few days!!
Sarah, I hope you get better soon, nothing worse than trying to look after a baby as well as yourself when you are sick! Especially breastfeeding, and getting in and out of bed in the cold!!!
Lis, I hope things start to look up for you soon. Hope the MCHN helps you out, and you can get out and about a bit more.
Rae, good to hear from you, hope Tia's cardiology appt goes well. Sorry to hear about your Grandad, but it is nice you got to say goodbye.
Alex, what are the sleep secrets!! I was so excited that for the first time Angus slept for 6 hours last night!! 11hrs would be a god send!!!
Anyway, better go, it is a bit warmer now so I can finally give Angus his bath, was way too cold earlier!!
Take care all!!
Michelle
Hi all

Tan - can you email me your mobile number again? I'll SMS you tomorrow to let you know my final word!!
Danni - sorry to hear you can't make it. We'll catch up another time??
Big hugs to all the lovely May mums and bubs - screaming child, have to run!!!

Hi All
Just a quick one from me to say that I am still here and hope you all have fun at the Melbourne meet up today.
Have to go another day out today!! WIll be back to do personals and update u all on Bella. xoxox
Hi all a quick one here! Looking forward to out meet up today - although am sad Sarah and Danni cant make it :cry:
Isabelle and I are going great - she is really such a joy! She is chatting away at the teletubbies right now while I quickly type! They are a bit strange but they keep saying "hello" in a voice I use to get her to chat!!
We've been out a bit this week - and out again today! She loves being out in her pram and is so good during the day - I just feel so bad for Al, he literally comes home during witching hour. She screamed the house down after her bath last night so he ha about 10 minutes of her happy in the bath and that was it, and then she was straight to bed.
Anyway ladies - hope all of you who have been sick or have had bubbies and kids who are sick get better very soon....huge hugs to all of you!and a big hello to everyone else! :hug::hugs:
Hey girls, just really quick here too..
Not so sure if I'm gonna make it today cause my nana has just rung me,(she lives 5 mins away) and she has been feeling awful with this flu going round and I might have to take her to the hosp:(
But if I can be there I will...I promise..Ok Just gotta get dressed and go and see her...
XOXOXOXOX
Hey Alex - sorry about your nana, would love to see you but completely understand and really hope she is ok... this flu is hitting everyone isnt it?
xoxo
Thanks Tan.. I just have to tell you that the photo of Izzy in your ticker is just gorgeous!!!
Ok just got back from the hosp.... Had to wait 4eva!!! Thank god they had toys there and kept Jack busy.. She's still feeling crap but they have given her some ab's and told her to stay in bed. And I've been at her place for the last hour or 2 just getting stuff organised for her.. Usually my mum would do all this but she is working today...
Anyway hope u ladies had a lovely meetup and chatted your little hearts away...I was there in spirit!!!!!:p
Gotta go and get ready cause my dogs are coming soon... God I never stop!!
How did the meet-up go girls? I wish I was there but it turns out Noah got sick too anyway. It would have been a very long day. Anyhoo, I better go rest and the poor boy is crying again. I promise I will get to the personals soon.
Thanks Alex - I love that pic too - all bundled up!! Hope your nana gets better really soon!
Meet up was great fun!! So good to meet Mia and Olivia in person - and of course Dan and Kristen!! :p Seriously though - it was great and we should do it once every 3 or 6 months!! Funny when the waitress said - oh they are all close in age -did you plan to have them so close together - he hee!!
Anyway my dinner is waiting - have a nice night ladies, first MG tomorrow - whoo hoo!!
It was terrific fun!!
Izzy and Olivia are both adorable (can't say the same for devil child Mia who decided to take up most of my time and vomit all over the table and floor of the restaurant when I was feeding her... BABIES!!! Grrrr don't they understand I want to chat to my friends?? LOL)
Can't wait to do it again soon!
Had a great time - next time hopefully Mia will follow Isabelle and Olivia's lead and sleep without cracking it ;)
glad you guys had a good time. as it turns out i was gunna make it...then MONSTER mason decided to scream all day agin. This is the 2nd day in a row :( But he did sleep for 3.5 hours...so i think he is exhauted. so am i
good night lovelies xxx
Alex, im visiting a friend in werribee on sunday. Let me know if you will be home. I wanna play kiss chasey with jack ;)
Umm girls, I am so worried about Noah, his cold has come on so suddenly today and in the last few hours it has gotten a lot worse (More coughing and stuffy nose with liquidy sounding breathing). I called the MCHN hotline and was told to keep an eye on him tonight and take him to a doctor in the morning. How am I going to sleep tonight now? He has vomited twice while coughing so far and now I am scared to feed him again. Please tell me this is a normal cold and that I am over reacting. :(
Hi Everyone
Glad to hear the meet up went well.
Alex 11hrs that would be great the longest I have had from Bella is 11:30 - 6:45am with a dream feed at 2:30am to move her from the lounge to her cot. Also I hope your nana feels better soon.
Lis hope you are feeling betterand hopefully Elena settles down for you soon
Rae sorry to hear about your grandfather, it is great that he was able to meet the girls. I wish my grandfather had had the chance to meet my little one but unfortunately he passed just as I meet Paul and he didn't even get to meet him :(
Micehelle I hope you are all feeling better after the gastro bug - not what you needed right now!!
Sarah hope everything is ok with Noah and that you get some sleep tonight. Isobella is so awake atm so I don't know when I will get to bed
Tan have fun at MG tomorrow (today) hope Izzy behaves herself!
Kristen LOL that would have been a sight to see:
can't say the same for devil child Mia who decided to take up most of my time and vomit all over the table and floor of the restaurant when I was feeding her...
Well Bella is still keeping me up all hours of the night but once she goes to sleep she stays asleep for quite awhile and if she does wake it is for a feed and goes straight back to sleep. I have tried keeping her awake earlier in the arvo to see if she will the go to sleep earlier in the evening but alas nope she stays awake longer!! Anyone got any suggestions how I can get her to go to sleep earlier in the evenings?
I have to say it doesn't bother me if I get to have an arvo sleep but I only have the chance to do that once every third day and if I don't I get so grumpy and I am worried I am going to be so tired one night and really grumpy and loose the plot.......
Well got to go I have her swinging in her swing in the lounge room so I can pop on here and she is starting to grumble so have to check she is ok.
Goodnight xox
