Friday morning Ash. Can't wait!! I just hope this little guy is due a good 3 weeks before Izzy's birthday. I hate the idea of their birthdays being so close that they don't feel as if they each have their own special day.
Yay Lulu!!! Little guy??!! Fingers crossed!
Quick one here - shouldnt even be on here Izzy was soooo upset and grizzly from 3-7 last night gave her some more panadol so that seemed to help. Poor thing - but she slept for 11 hours again - woooot! I had her in her polar fleece sleeping bag because her grobags were all in the wash so I wonder if she has been a bit cold the last few nights because shes been sick - I know I like to be rugged up when not well - wish she could talk
Back later - Sarah stay warm and lots of fluids hunny.
Hello!! Sorry, have to be quick again, Luke is on my lap and he's getting a little whingy already!!
Lulu - Thanks so much for the advice, its so difficult. I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. I've starting thinking that I'm trying to feed him when he's not quite ready to feed, causing some of the screaming. BUT, now I can't work out when he's hungry or tired. Its so confusing!!! He's been a bit grumpy lately too - I'm wondering if he's got a bit of hayfever - can babies even get hayfever. He's just sneezing a bit more than normal and his eyes water a lot. Both DH and I have had BAD hayfever this week, so who knows!!
Anyway must go! I'm really tired today, DH and I went out last night, it was his birthday and we had tickets to John Buttler Trio - it was GREAT but we were home far too late and I missed my little man like crazy!!!
Hi guys,
Sorry I'm MIA at the moment but we are having a little bit of trouble with our little princess. She is going through her 4 month figety mood where she is testing us and changing her rountine every single day and night. She is still being an angel for us but at the same time giving me troubles. Does that make sense?
Father's day was brilliant and Dave had a great day. He got a spade and a lemon tree. Weird requests but hey he was happy. We then took our two dogs with us down the park for lunch. It was quick an adventure but brilliant at the same time.
Olivia had another check up with the MCHN and she has only put on 140g in two weeks. She is weighing 5379gm and is quite slow putting on the weight. We have one more month doing it our way before we have to try top-ups or start introducing solids. We'll see how we go. Olivia has her next set of needles on Monday. We have a huge weekend coming up. Dinner out Sunday night, Phantom of the Opera on Sunday and then needles on Monday. Olivia is going to one grumpy little girl Monday night. Might have to leave her with daddy while I have a sleep LOL!!
Lulu - Can't wait to hear all about your scan on Friday. How exciting seeing when your next little one is due and how he's growing. I love the scans. Enjoy seeing your little one. How is gorgeous Izzy going?
Kelly – Honey I’m so sorry that Luke is still screaming during his feeds. I couldn’t imagine how hard it is for you dealing with it every day. You are doing an amazing job. I’m so sorry but I have no suggestions for you but know that I’m sending you heaps of hugs and I’ve got everything crossed that you get it sorted out soon.
Sarah – How crappy being sick. I hate being sick and not being able to curl up under a doona and sook for a while. Hope you are feeling better. How is your little man going with his bell? Has it dropped off yet? I’ve been on your website looking for the link to your webpage but I can’t find it. Any tips?
Danni – Hi petal. Has Mason settled down again or is he still being figety? Does he have a bottle every night still with Dale? You’ll have to put a photo of your new haircut on the website so we can all have a sticky nose. I’d love to cut all my hair off but I’m too scared. Enjoy catching up with Ash on Friday and your trip away to Brissy. I’m jealous. I’d love to go away for the weekend but we are so booked up we don’t have a spare weekend for over a month and then of course Dave starts cricket. Oh well!!
Ash – I think it’s fantastic that you are trying to relactate. Have you been expressing? You better before Danni get there or she’ll do it for ya. LOL! Enjoy dinner with Danni, Dale and Mason. Can’t wait to hear all about it.
Kirsten – Ok I’ve obviously missed something. What does MCN stand for? I’ve been looking into baby behind nappies but I’m scared that if they don’t work or I don’t like them I’ve wasted the money. Plus I’m really lazy when it comes to washing.
Tan – Hi possum. How is that gorgeous girl of yours sleeping? Is she back to sleeping for 11 hours? Or are you having to do dream feeds? I’m doing dream feeds wih Livvy and one night it works great and then next one it doesn’t. I’m sticking with it not only to try and get her to sleep through but hoping the extra feed will help her to gain some weight. I’m so jealous of Izzy sleeping 11 hours. I would love Olivia to do that. I’m trying snugglers at the moment and they seem to working well and holding quite a lot. Olivia was leaking poo all up her back and anywhere up to her nipples. It was getting quite gross. Snugglers are quite thin but seem to be doing the job.
Aniejade – I hear you about Khai only sleeping for two hours during the day. How is he sleeping overnight? Is he sleeping through? What is your little man weighing at the moment?
I’m just about positive that I’ve missed someone so if I have I’m so sorry. Sending heaps of hugs to everyone. Hope everyone had a fantastic father’s day and all our babies are behaving themselves and sleeping for their gorgeous mummies.
I’m scared to think how long this post has gotten because DH has just looked over my shoulder and ask what on earth I’m typing that is taking so long and is so big. If I wasn’t so lazy and did personals more often I wouldn’t take so long. I’m so lazy.
Have a great night everyone and we’ll catch up soon,
Lulu - OMG, so soon!!! How exciting!! Best of luck sweet!
Tan - is Izzy feeling any better? Mia was just getting over her cold, and now she's sick again! Her nose started blocking up last night - poor cherub
Kelly - I have no suggestions for you hon, because if I did - I'd be trying them out too! Mia still screams sometimes during her feeds (not always though, but I can hear her swallowing etc just after she cries poor cherub so I know it's the heartburn) - I've stopped giving her the Zantac as I'm convinced it's not helping much and she hasn't had it for the last day and is still the same, so I will see how she goes.
Sarah - how are you feeling??
Danni/Ash - have fun! Danni, do we get to see some pics?
aniejade - Glad to hear Khai is doing so well. Does he normally sleep so little during the day?
Mia's getting a bit sick again - I hope it stays away though, as she was only just starting to get better.
I've also started working a couple of hours for 2 days a week at Darlings Downunder (heaven... nappies all day long!! ha!) which I started today, and I'm really loving it. Tania (who runs it) is lovely, and although I miss my Miss while I'm away, I can work when she's napping so hubby can just be there in case she wakes up.
MCN stands for Modern Cloth Nappies - for heaps of choices, have a look at Darlings Downunder (shameless plug now!). The BBHs are great nappies, but there are LOADS of choices out there if you aren't sure of what's right for you. Tania has a great starters pack that lets you try one of every kind so you can see what you like - it's a good option too!
Hi Ladies!!! I am feeling a little better today, I had a fever on Monday night and it hit me again on Tuesday while out with MG which was really embarrassing, I did blog about it though if you really want to know
Dan, How good do the All in Ones look??? I might buy a couple now myself when I get the next FTB payment. I hope Olivia cheers up for you, Noah is going through a similar thing I reckon and it is so frustrating. About my website, I was only initially testing out this shopping cart so I didn't add a link from my main page. The link is in my public profile and soon to be in my sig when I get the green light about my MarketPlace Membership.
Kristen, Thanks for the shameless plug, lucky you to be working there!! I am feeling better thanks!!
Kelly, Lucky girl going to JBT! He seems to be down here a bit, must be something about us Canadians, you can't get us to leave Oz Babies can indeed get hayfever, I would ask your health nurse for suggestions. Poor boy... Hope he is a bit better today.
Tan, Way to go on the 11hours!!! I am green Fluids are being consumed, beer counts, right? jk
Lulu, Can't wait to hear the results of the scan, how exciting!!!
Ok that is as far back as I can go for now, sorry to anyone I missed.. Good timing anyway, Noah just woke up after being asleep for all of 20mins, that is the total for the day boys!!! Talk to you all later!!!
Dan - Nah, not sleeping through yet Lastnight he only woke once for a feed tho, at 12.30! But i don't want to get too excited and jinx it. But he still wakes 3-4times a night for a feed. He's weighing about 6.5kg at the momment, probabley a little bit more since i last weighed him. So Olivia only sleeps for a couple of hours a day?
Kristen - Yeah, he normally only sleeps that long his big sleep is around lunchtime and that's only for about 45mins! lol.
Has anyone started their baby on small solids yet? Im not sure when to start Khai...i don't really want to Lol, i don't want him to be big enough to have solids.
Steph - I feed Noah the Heinz organic rice cereal on occaision but more often Only Organics aplle custard, he seems to prefer a sweeter taste than the rice cereal gives. I have given him avocado as well and keep on meaning to give him banana but I don't want to see the stringy red poo yet. As for starting solids, the WHO says 6 months. I have read elsewhere that if a baby doubles its weight by 4 or 5 months or demands feeds more often than 2 hourly after 3 months of age you may start solids on a health professionals advice.
As for teething I think that Noah is on that train as well, someone said for me to get Bonjella?sp?
Sarah: Yeah bonjella is a numbing gel that you can put on their gums where it's sore. You can usually feel the spot where the tooth is coming through to make sure it is actually his teeth that's bothering him.
Steph - Mia's not ready for solids yet by a long shot - she's still very much a boobie baby, and with her reflux has trouble even managing that at the moment! Poor cherub!
Dan - haha welcome!! Let me know if you like anything
OK where do i start! I have been absent this week just trying to get this house organised and washing etc etc..
Lulu - can't wait till Friday!! How exciting! Hope your MS gets better. That is the only reason that would turn me off having another bub is the MS!! Fingers crossed for you!
Ash - how is the expressing and BF going?? Hope Blake gets the hang of it and those BB's get milking again!!
Tan-Hope Izzy is getting over her snuffles. Is so hard to kow what to dress them in for the weather hey. It starts off cool here but by lunch it is 28-30degrees! So then I have the aircon on in his bedroom!!
Kelly-yeah I would get Luke checked, maybe it is hayfever! I have heaps of allergies and get hayfever all the time and it does suck! Thank God none of the kids look like they suffer yet! Hope his feeding gets better for you also.
Dan - I hope Olivia is getting back in a routine for you! I am so slack at getting Angus weighed, I hope Olivia starts putting on some more weight for you!
Sarah-How is Noah's boy bits! Hope they are getting better! Once the ring is off I found it got better really quick and I wasn't scared to wash it and stuff! Hope you are feeling better also (and I'm sure beer does count as fluids!!)
Kristen - Do you believe I just ordered some MCN from Tania a few weeks ago! I just thought I would give it a go and use them around the house! I got baby beehinds and an AIO (not sure of brand is blue with circus animals on it!) I got a monkey doodlez as well but have that ready to send back as it is too small! So if you see a return come in that is a blue mokey ddodlez that is me!! I just need the next size! I got a few brands to see how they went. I love the baby beehinds but I forgot to get a cover so will get one with my exchange also! They are so absorbant I was very surprised! You only need to change as often as a sposie, unless they dirty of course! And they are so cute. I think I am hooked, just have to get some more now when I have the spare cash! What brands do you like and use?? There are so many dif brands I am still confused by them all!!
Aniejade- No Angus has not started solids yet! I am holding him off till 6mths, he is happy with BB's at the moment so we are just waiting, and I agree I want him to be my baby not eating solids already!! Where have the last 3 mths gone... No signs of teeth yet either, although the girls got their first teeth at 4 mths so maybe they will appear around then as well. He is a big dribbler and spitter! I have to put bibs on him cause he blows raspberries and gets drenched down the fron with spit!! Is really gross, but his sisters thinks it is hilarious!!
Anyway, I better go! Have to get Shayleigh ready for school, and Joey has swimming at 10am also. Today is out busy day! Might have to go shopping also I think! I just brought a Phil & Teds pram (Lulu you might need one of these for your 2 bubs!). My 3 yr old just didn't want to walk when we were out so I thought what the hell and brought one!! Mine is on order and the shop gave me one to loan and try out!! How great is that! So we have been practising shopping in it haha! Have to say it is a great pram and worth every cent! Now I have to seel my other pram that is only 4 mths old! Anyway, better get evryone organised!
Kristen-You work at Darlings Downunder? Omg I spent about 2 hours browsing yesterday, I even sent an email but no reply as yet. Can you be my nappy advisor, I need a little help, and mates rates are always good yeh? lol
I'll be back later for personals, I'm another one hoping to jump on the MCN bandwagon and couldn't keep my mouth shut lol
Michelle - Yay for you! What great choices!! Yeah, you need covers with the BBHs but Davina has brought out some nice PUL coloured covers now so it's not just the boring cream ones. That said, you don't need to havea BBH cover with the fitted BBH either - lots of other lovely choices as well!
Sounds like you got a bubblebubs AIO did you?
The MDs are wonderful - very popular. I haven't tried them yet, but I will! I am in LOVE with the ocean breeze and raspberry sorbet colours in the micro - SCRUMMY in real life!
As for being hooked... well - why do you think I started working there?! HA! I use mainly pockets - so BumGenius, Hautes and Green Kids (which Tania doesn't sell, but I want her to!). I also use the Bubblebubs AIOs (which Mia will grow out of soon) which are great, and I have a few Starbunz animal pockets, some BBHs, some TotsBots and Baby Kanga. Oh, and I have some Blueberry minky pockets as well.
Ash - Addictive isn't it?! I could browse all day... omg - SO MUCH WORSE in real life! I swear I will work for a couple of hours and then spend all my money on buying a new nappy every time I go there... HORRIBLE! Tania has a two yr old (GORGEOUS!) so it may take her a bit to get to you, but she will! As for advice, ask away!!
Danni - your poor cherub, have you gone to see the Dr to see what it could be? Poor little Mason as well Hugs...
