Have spent the last 2 days out and have to say I am exhausted!!
Danni, I hope Mason is feeling better the poor bubba. Nothing worse than watching them in pain, hopefully his antibiotics have kicked in by now!
Kelly, I found when I tried to dream feed Angus it just made him worse! He would start waking 3 hours from then for a feed! So I have just let him be and every week he seems to sleep a bit better and a bit longer, so hopefully he will sleep through soon! Hope your Mum is better.
Lulu, no I am not back at work yet. I did take 12 months off, but prob will think about going back a few days a fortnight in the next few months (maybe!!).
Sarah, how is the rice cereal going? Noah sounds like he is growing fast! Angus is 5.96kg and he is 11.5 weeks. But he has only put on 300gms in 3 weeks? The nurse didn't seem worried but I spose he is a big boy anyway and is maybe having a slow growth period!!
Dan, nursing is good that is adaptable hey. I work for QLD Health in our public hosp, so can basically pick and choose what I want to work when I go back beacuse they have to be "family friendly". Have thought about doing my midwifery, what was you course like?
Jan, I hope you are feeling better. I think exercise would be good for me too, just to get out of the house and get some fresh air has to be good!!
Hello to everyone else~!! Angus just woke up and is trying to help me type!
I had the worst day today! Was shopping in target and one of the front wheels of my pram fell off while I was pushing Angus in it!! was scary! Anyway I rang childcare and they are sending me a new wheel, but after doing some research on google, seems this is a common prob for the pram I have. Not sure if I want to trust it even with the new wheel. What do you think?? What pram do all you guys have - are they good?? Think I might look around and just get another one?? DH will spew though cause this is a brand new pram! Anyway, wriggle worm is getting cranky on my lap!
Well finally I have a chance to catch up on my personals that I lost the other day!
Michelle- OMG at the wheel on your pram!! I would be so p!ssed off.. you pay a lot of money for these prams and that’s really dangerous! We originally had the 4 wheel Steelcraft transaction – had problems with the wheel lifting up and down too and the handle was kinda wobbly, so now we have the strider 3 – we love it – I like being able to see Izzy in it-as she can face me while in it. No complaints so far. Hope you have caught up on some rest too after your busy days.
Sarah – go Noah!! What a little champ hey! Glad the rice cereal is working for you – and mmmm for chocolate cake! I made a chocolate self saucing pudding that was terrible at a friends place last night (packet mix– serves me right!) I think you are right about the growth spurt too – more on that in a bit! How is Noahs foot going hun?? How is your internet rule going?
Kelly –Sorry to hear about your mums DVT....How is she going?? I’m glad they found it early and are able to treat it. How’s Luke going? Sleeping any better for you? Whenever I’ve given Izzy a dream feed or if we have been out and I feed her later in the evening when we get home she sleeps worse than if I let her go. She used to go to bed at 615ish – no I stretch her out because Al gets home at that time, so I take her for a walk in the pram in the afternoon so she will get a nap in before he gets home and I can keep her up until 7, she then sleeps though til 5-6 most nights. Sometimes she will still get up after around 6 hours though. Anyway I hope you can work something out – and you are right – their cheeky grin and gummy smile makes it all worthwhile hey!
Jan – thanks so much for the advice! I have been putting water into the heating recesses too since your post because the house is really dry and it’s a good way to rehydrate the air – a few of our main ducts have a spot you can just tip water into. More on the poo in a sec!! Hope you are doing well, glad you are doing some things to help you feel better – gym sounds great, I really want to get back into some more high intensity exercise other than walking.
Danni – hope Mason is feeling better :hugs: Its so hard to see these little ones upset or in pain isn’t it. I’m glad your trip to WA went well, I wanna see pics – have you guys got any?
Dan- Has Olivia settled down a bit since your post? Seems like a bit of unsettled time for lots of babies at the moment. How exciting about the baptism and BBQ – I’m sure it will all go really well and you will be happy and exhausted by the end of the weekend
Can’t wait to see some pics and I love your new ticker pic BTW – its adorable!! Glad to hear she got a clean bill of health too – whoo hoo!!
Lulu- your meet up sounds like it was great – pics please! I haven’t seen the movie you were talking about – in fact I can’t remember the last movie I saw at all – I know I was pg at the time!
All other ladies and bubs :wave: hope you all doing super well and big hugs to you all!
Well I think Izzy wasn’t constipated as much as just backed up IYKWIM!! She only did one poo for two days – and I know its normal for b’fed babies and they can go longer but when shes gone from 3 a day to only one that’s a big shift. So anyway she did 5 HUGE poos yesterday – so I think it was all just a little slow in there for her after our trip and it has all come out now!! She still makes weird straining noises at times but its not like she does it when she poos so not sure what that is all about!
Izzy has been sleeping ok since we got back from Bright – Ive been working hard to make sure she gets back into some sort of routine – especially so Al can spend time with her in the evenings. Not sure who was asking but Al 's new job is working in construction for Docklands Studios on the new Band of Brothers TV series by Spielberg and Hanks! Pretty exciting – so that’s why he gets home a bit later than he used to and I’ve shifted Izzy's sleep time to 7 – cant wait til daylight savings when it should go to 8! Whoo hoo!
Going to get Pixi photos done tomorrow – yay and Im pretty tired now so gonna cruise forums for a bit before bed!
Catch you all soon! xoxo
Quick one here - another crazy busy weekend! Al's birthday today (and our 10 years together anniversary!!) - out for dinner last night, people over tonight, wineries for lunch tomorrow, dinner out 3 nights next week - pheew!
Pixi photos were soooo cute but decided to do a big order when she is 6 mths and sitting upright and we might get some family shots too! They put a huge pink tutu on her and it looks gorgeous! Have scanned a copy of the plain paper copy we got and uploaded to her August pics - be warned they are REALLY blurry!
Lulu - I havent even thought about her rolling in bed but Izzy is in a grobag and then we tuck her 2or 3 blankets in over her really tightly so I dont think she could roll at the moment even if she tried - not sure what we will do later on though! Good question!
Hope you are all well and will catch up more soon!
