finally some cooler weather :)
Isabelle is not feeling the best last night she vomited about 2 hours after a feed, lucky I was talking to my friend near her bed as I think she might have choked on it other wise (we where staying on a farm for the weekend in a hall) She vomited a few more times and has been unsettled all day. Her nose is blocked so perhaps a cold or allergies. She is drinking lots though and wet nappies are OK to.
Hi ladies..
I hope you are all keeping cool! The last few days all I can say is 'bless the person who created air con!'
heidi, hope Isabelle is feeling better today.. Its hard when they are so little and you dont know whats wrong..
Blessedmum, good to hear your on the mend. Its hard when your home alone, sick and you have to look after your babies. I normally get out the dvd's too..
Ella, what a good boy! Rolling at 8 weeks!! Good luck with Uni today! Hopefully the boys will settle and they start sleeping for your soon.. I love infants friend.. I give it to Panayiotis when ever he isnt settled and it helps.
Danni, I use a swing, a play mat and my porta cot music and vibrations. but the one thing I use most is my old fashioned bouncer.. Like one that our parents had for us.. lol I put him on my kitchen bench while cooking.. Put him on the dinning room table when we are eating.. I take it to my parents, I take it to friends houses.. I but an attachment that plays music and give him toys to hold. Over the weekend I put him the stroller facing me while I hung the clothes on the line.
Blondie.. Yep sucked in sounds good to me. hehe... and yes he is an arse.. Panayiotis is just learning the bottle but he is doing the same thing I just take it away for a minute or two and try again.. Mean while this goes on for ages.. lol mmm sounds like bad advise.. lol
afm, got into a massive fight with my bil the day after the cyclone. I was talking to my sister and I said, 'next time there is a cyclone you get the hell out of there.' she goes, 'I didnt want to leave' then my bil starts yelling out in the background f... this and f... you and f.... this and f.... you... at me!!! I couldnt talk to my sister he was going nuts... So I go look Ill call you back later but can you tell your husband (knowing he could hear me) he is an ass...., w...ker, d...head... and hung up..
I got a message from her saying he thinks we always blame him for everything.. but ummm he always does stupid selfish things.. He is a big fat bush pig!
so my sister and her girls are ok, they got really strong winds, but they were lucky.. If it hit the way they were predicting they might not have been so lucky..
After all that cusing at me I have decided not to invite my bil to my sons christening.. and I have managed to reduce the numbers to 40 adults and 10 kids!! Yippeee!! Told my Mil and mum and they both seem happy. Now for a venue.. Still havent found one that Im happy with.
Panayiotis, has been a good boy. He has been sleeping around 6-9 hours at night and has two good sleeps during the day plus a couple of small ones.. He isnt rolling yet but he is trying to pull himself up. At the moment he sits in his bouncer and trys to pull himself up and lifts his feet up into the air a the same time.. Like some yoga move.. lol
Im taking him to the doctors tomorrow to have these moles checked. He started with about 6 and now he has 20.. I pray its nothing..
Ok well mr is up and dd is colouring in and Im starting to get hungry.. Have a great day..
So quiet in here???
Everyone ok?
I just had both boys sleep 6 hours straight. So nice to have a little unbroken sleep!
all good here..
How about you? how are you doing balancing Uni??
This time last year.... DH and I were busy creating our beautiful baby boy!! haha
:rofl:at Eng. I was just thinking the same thing but mine starts next week. Poor DH got nearly a whole years worth in that 1 week.
All going great here, keeping busy organising the christening. Did my invites last night. I also made a door thingy for Macey's door.
Oh and I thought a name change was in order, I was over the other name.
I thought we had a new person Blessedkazzo.. hehe
Well IM sure we were all getting busy this time last year!
This time last year I got a opk+ so the 12 to 15 was my window.. lol funny cos I have the same cycle as this time last year... Might have to get busy with dh tonight.. haha
AHH I still dont have a reception venue.. I have been busy ringing schools for DD.. DD starts prep next year... Time is flying...
We went to the beach today and Panayiotis got to put his feet in the water for the first time... he loved it.. Might have to go a couple of times more before the end of summer..
Ok Im off to bed ;) hehe
Im different from you two ladies, hubby and i were NOT busy this time last year but my boy was cooking in the IVF clinic :). I officially got preg on feb 15 (mum and dads wedding anniversary).
I have been thinking about our options of another bub - we both want to get preg soon, if not naturally we will go back to IVF in May. It was funny when i got my baby sample bag there was a pack of condoms in there and my cousin came around and i asked if she wanted them for her nephew and not thinking she said "wont you guys need them" i just looked at her for a few seconds then we both cracked up laughing - it was funny to us anyway.
I got Dylans suit last week it is soooo cute. It was so frustrating though with the size differences. He is in 00 clothes at the moment so i thought i would get an 0 so it is a little big on him but he can get more wear out of it. We tried the 00 on first and the vest and pants fitted how i wanted but the shirt looked 2 sizes too big. Then we looked at another 000 suit - different brand and it had no hope of fitting him, the lady let me pay an extra $10 to get a different brand shirt in 000 but i think he will grow out of it very soon. I just wish they would make a standard size. They had little shoes there but they looked a bit ummmm not very boyish lol we ended up getting him the cutest pair of volleys, they are black and grey check so he will be formal up top and casual down the bottom, they look really good with the suit :)
Im a bit excited, im getting a tattoo tomorrow cant wait. Ive been wanting to get another one for ages but never knew what to get so im getting Dylan 12-11-10 and some fancy stuff.
Eng do you pronounce Panayiotis like panay otis or panay i otis?
is anyone wanting to get pregnant again soon?
Tammara- I would love to get pregnant again soon but with uni and with Orlando too I think I need to wait for a little while.
AFM- Olrando is sick with a cough that I'm now getting and I think Leo might be too as he's coughed a few times this morning.
O woke up at 2am and wanted a sippy cup. He woke Leo up just as he was walking to my bed, so then I had to sit up with him and feed. Finally put him into bed and got a call at 3:20am that DF's bottle shop had been broken into so the phone woke Leo again. Then DF woke O as he was leaving... in short I have had 30 mins sleep since 2am. I'm in a terrible mood lol. DF is still at the store waiting for forensics.
I'm so cross at his work. They pay them pitance for such great responsibility. DF had quit smoking till this morning and because of his stress spent our last $20 to buy a pack of smokes. Says he will throw them away when he gets home and start again but I'm so freaking angry.
Sorry girls just needed to express all that. His work is causing us so much stress and lots of fights between us because he is getting paid for 38hrs a week but is there at least 60 every week.
Hope you're all having a better morning.
Tammara, how did you go, where abouts did you get it? I will get another tattoo but I am going to wait till I finish BF before I get it. They get addictive I think.
Macey is always trying to sit herself up now, whenever I lay her flat she strains for ages trying to get up. She also does not like lying flat in her bath anymore, she wants to be sitting up. She does love her showers though so we have a lot more of them.
Better run, my little chucky bum has just saturated herself.
Hello,
Tam, its pronounced.. Pana yo tis.. DD already nicked named him Yoti.. lol
Hope you are all keeping well.. I have been having a few problems during the day with DS.. He seems to be crying alot during the day, its kind of doing my head in. Im not sure if its my milk so I be giving him 1 ff a day but today I might actually do 2.. He seems so hungry all the time.
I feel like the kids are playing tag time. Once I settle Panayiotis down then Ireni starts up.. You would think that with Panayiotis sleeping between 8-10 hours at night I would be well rested but nope.. Im stuffed and to be honest I feel very run down.
I went to a primary school yesterday for Ireni. Im so confused at to where to send her next year for prep.. private or public..
Ok I best get going.. DH should be home soon we need to paint a wall and the carpet isnt dry from the steam cleaning..
Later...
Hello Ladies
Isabelle has changed her sleeping habbits and we are now getting up for a feed between midnight and 3am again :( hopefully she will swap again soon as this only started when she was not feeling well and she is back to normal again now.
We went to a mum and bubs session today at the movies which was nice..she was overwhelmed at the large screen but went to sleep soon after it started and slept most of the movie :) I think next time I will catch the bus as parking was a bit expensive as we walked around the shops for a while after the movie.
I was worried she was not making enough 'happy' noises but the last few days she has been chatting to her mobil in her cot very happily and making lots of noises.
Hello Mummies
Thanks so much to all of you that answered my question about how you keep your babies entertained :) I really appreciate the advice. Gave me some more ideas... I sure have an active bub on my hands! Blondie I couldn't find the By My Side Rocker @ Big W (it does sound good). Eng you sound like me with always having bub with you wherever you are in the house lol gotta love bouncers. And Blessedmum - Damian NEVER liked lying down - he was always the type of baby that loved being upright from day 1. For little Damian now we have a bouncer, cot mobile, rocker, toybar, playmat and for now I guess that's gotta do! Can't spend much more on entertaining him lol he seems to get bored easily so I just keep having to change things up.
I hope you all enjoyed your Valentines Day and got spoilt... Us Mummies deserve it! Hubby gave me roses, chocolate, a teddy (from Damian) and a Guess Bag... AANNDD time to have a bath... BLISS!!! Lol so I'm feeling very spoilt. We also have our 5 year anniversary (since we've been together) coming up soon. Time does fly! Yes and with conceiving our bubs... Hubby and I decided that we would just keep doing things as normal and let things happen as they are meant to (without protection) and without even actively trying bub was conceived a few months later, being around Valentines Day! So yes it has been a special week remembering that.
Damian has also changed his sleeping habits!! Unfortunately we've also gone backwards and he no longer has his big 5-6 hour stretch before he comes to bed with us. And he's been staying up later then he used to. As soon as we thought we had a routine happening... He changed it! But he does have a 7ish hour stretch in bed still, but he does feed throughout that a couple of times. LOL. Just gotta go with the flow. He also seems to be feeding a lot again...and OMG lately he will NOT feed with me just sitting down!! SO much for feeding being relaxing!! I constantly have to walk around whilst feeding... and boy oh boy he sure is heavy!!! He's been better in the car and enjoys going out so that's a good thing. He also has his days with making cooing noises.. sometimes he does a lot then he'll go a day or two without saying much. I wonder about him grabbing though... he loves grabbing onto things like his bib, toybar, us etc but he doesnt grab to pick-up. What about everyone elses bubs?
Have a lovely night ladies :)
Girls - it's been so quiet the last few days!!
Hope all you Mummies & bubbies are going well!
On a positive note - the day after I wrote my last post worried about Damian not grabbing yet - well my little boy decided that he LOVES grabbing toys from my hands! So cute... he loves holding them & trying to eat just about everything LOL.
Hope to hear from you all soon!!
Thats good Danni! Isabelle thinks her dresses taste wonderfull she is always grabbing the bottom of them and putting them in her mouth
Evening..
Gave Panayiotis his first taste of food this morning.. The little piggie knew how to eat!! I thought he would end up wearing it but nope.. He ate it.. I mixed only 2 tsps of baby rice, with 50mls of formula.. I gave him about 4 little spoon and stopped so his belly would get use to it..
I wasnt going to start yet but in the last few weeks he has been watching us eat and moves his little mouth like he was eating.
Booked him in for his 4 month injections on Thursday.. Cant believe he is 16 weeks old already..
Hope you are all taking care..
Ah Eng, Love your new Avie. Your little man is 16 wks already, where the heck has time gone, feels lke we are travelling at warp speed. I wish I knew where the slow motion button was.
Danni, sounds like Damian keeps you real busy, an active baby is so much fun, he will always keep you on your toes.
AFM, Macey is till my serious little bubba, although she is starting to giggle a bit more now. She is a watcher, I think she will beat anyone in a staring comp. DH went away for the weekend and I loved having just my 2 girls around. Amelia had a bad dream on Saturday night so she slept in my bed (something she nevers does) all night and I loved that they were both with me. Macey's flattened head has improved so much, I got her checked last Friday and they said it is nearly spot on. Yippee.
Macey's baptism plans are coming along nicely, we bought a Marquee because it was so much cheaper then hiring one and I am doing all the food myself so now I just need to see how many people come. I was a bit shocked in the amount of people we invited (83 including kids) but I don't expect a few to make it (kinda hoping really). We bought a new fridge too, it gets delivered next Monday, I am so excited and it is just a fridge.
Well I hope everyone is going great.
OMG Isabelle is getting teeth already! I thought she has been teething for a week or two now but my mum said to early...so today she cried a lot and was enjoying getting her gums massaged then after her bath tonight I felt a very sharp bit so looks like a tooth has just come through!
