Hello Ladies!!
Yep, I know I haven't been on in ages and ages. Moving house, fixing up old house, caring for Logan,pets and huband etc etc.
Have missed you all - just so hard to find time to do anything atm!
I have only read back a couple of pages - sounds like all doing well except the endless teething and sleeping issues. I expect most bubs are mobile too?
We are fine other than busy,busy.
Logan has EIGHT teeth and possibly more on the way.
Not crawling at all yet although he seems desperate to do so. Just can't figure it out poor little man - getting very frustrated. Mind you, it is good to be able to leave him somewhere and know he will stay there!
Definitely not sleeping through. We average 2-3 wake ups on a good night and usually up for the day between 5.30-6am (man I'd LOVE to sleep in until 7.30ish.
Still BF - 5 feeds a day. We attempt 2 solid meals but he is not that keen. Growing well though so no problems there.
Forward facing in car much as i wanted to resist it. he was just not happy facing rearwards and car trips were not pleasant. he is much happier sitting up and looking out
Sorry to not catch up a bit better but the little one is calling for food. Will try and get back on more often now we all moved.
-
Good to hear from u Meredith, sounds like u have been really busy! Goodluck with the move and everything.
Wow 8 teeth!!...we have 2 and the top ones are on the way...hoping they are anyways!!!
-
good to hear from you meredith!!!!!

BBL

8 teeth! We have 4 but I think there's more to come soon...she's biting everything and drooling all over the place.
Tara - get better soon hun! take care of yourself.

So good to hear from you Meredith. Was starting to get a little worried about you! 8 teeth WOW. Aston has just gotten his first. He is in the same boat as Logan, trying desperately hard to crawl, but only going backwards, and getting very cranky with it. I recently shut up the milk bar at night, and are now getting much better sleep, between 5-6hours consecutively, and he is settling quickly if he wakes. Only took about 3 days, for it to go from half an hour to go back to sleep, to less then a minute most of the time now. Thank god, because I was going a little bit mad!
Good to hear from you, look forward to hearing from you more, now that you are hopefully settled in.

Hello ladies well today was my exciting Sydney trip to meet my new niece Josephine Ellen and she is an absolute honey! I wish I was there for more than a few hours - stupid jetstar found a flat tyre just minutes before we took off and were delayed an hour aaaaarrrggghh! Should know better have vowed twice already never to fly them again but the fare was sooooo cheap! Daddy had Jake today and when he picked me p he was shattered! :lol:!! only had his shower when jake had his afternoon nap pmsl!!!!! Now he knows why some days he comes home and I am still in my pj's! My boobs are like 2 rockmelons just missing that one afternoon feed (he's dropped the am one again) and when jake saw me his face lit up and he held his arms out saying mumumumumu! oooh he is soo sweet!
Hi meredith noice to meet you!
Tara hope you are feeling better soon!
Vicky I am so glad you have your sanity back - are you going to the coast meet up?
AND we have cracked 11kgs! No wonder my back is so sore!
Off to bed for me 6am eercise class tmrw!
Take care and sorry about short personals - hope everyone else is coping with teeth / flus / rashes / feeding / sleeping!
What a lot we are! :lol: :lol:
-
Awww i wonder how much Chelsea weighs...?? We will find out next Tuesday at her MCHN check up! Im guessing maybe 8-9kg maximum.
-
man 11kg!!! wow sophie was 7.3kg at 8 months probably only 7.5 now!!!
i really think she is teething, she;s been cranky as today, cried tonight and she really doesnt cry at all!!! so inwith panadol and bonjella and hope tomorrow is better.
did our tax tonight i get around $2500!!!!DH $400, $600 tax benifit A and $500 tax benfite B cos we over extimated!!!!!! so were very happy indeed!!!
Me, well i have reduced my meds slowly and not liking it at all!!!!!! doing it very slowly but god i'm mightly moody tonight, brings back bad memories :( and to top it all off i think i have mastitis!!!! never ever had it!! boob is very sore so hopefully not infection just blocked duct
Got our new car tonight as well. it's been a very busy day here, sad to see the old one go!!
-
Oh AJP hugs hun. Mastitis is horrid. If you start feeling like you have been hit by a truck - fever, and general flu symptoms get yourself to the doctor. Lots of warm compresses, and heat in the shower, gentle massage of the area, and feed feed feed. If you can put sophie in the position where her chin is pointed towards the lump, and massage gently while feeding. Hope its ok. Try not to panic about how your feeling (says' she red faced!) draw on all those techinequies you have been using to relax.
Woohoo on the new car, and tax return. still have to do ours.
-
Nelly - I forgot to answer your question sorry. No - i wont be going, just a little too far, it would take me about 2hours to get there, and i'm too tired to drive 4 hour round trip in a day at the moment. Hope you have fun. I think I'm the only one north of Brisbane...
Had a shocker last night. Think those teeth are driving Aston mad, he was inconsolable, poor darlin. ended up getting the spare matteress and laying in his room wiht him attached to me. the best sleep he had was from 5.30 to 7.30 am. Absolutely shattered. going to go and lay down now....
-
Oh Vicky the same thing happened to us last night.
Ella woke up every 30mins and was just screaming with pain. I had already given her Bonjela and Nurofen so we just had to sit it out. I had her in my arms for most of the night and when she went back into her cot I lay down on the ground (sore back now) and had my hand on her leg. I'm at work today absolutely nackered!
Anyway when we got up she was sneezing and coughing and has a runny nose. I think she has a cold on top of her teething pain ---poor little thing.
I think we've got a couple of rough nights ahead of us.
Ann :(
-
sounds like our night - I'm not sure if there are more teeth but tried him without any doses of demazin, panadol, nurofen etc and he woke at 1 and didn't settle until about 4. poor sausage teeth are nasty things! That on top of my jetset day yday... sleep pls.... not possible with active boy.....
-
We had a good night... 8pm-9am!
Had to buy some 0 suits cos the 00 were bit figure hugging.... now these are to big and she has duck feet!!!
-
Im with u Nelly teeth are nasty!
we had a similar night here too, not much sleep last night up and down again, i gave in and Emelia was in our bed at 4am and didnt go back to sleep properly till 6am, im not feeling too good today, feeling quite sick.. really just want to go to bed but abit hard when Emelia not sleeping at all :(
hope tonights better for everyone
-
I want my boy back! Bugger the tooth friggin fairy, the tooth MONSTER has stolen our bubs! At least when I'm up in the night I will know that I'm not alone, somewhere in Qld, Sydney and WA there will be you Nelly, Ann, and Blanche... Aston is off food too, and has a streaming nose, and is just generally an unhappy little man. Bloody teeth.
-
:lol: Vicky that was us last week and this week but today the garbage guts is back and demolishing anything in his path - like a whole pear for afternoon tea! The top 2 are starting to drop down slowly and he's losing his babiness (my new word?) :cry:
-
I know, don't their whole face change with the appearence of teeth... You will have to start thinknig about no 2 nelly ;)
-
I think my poor little nugget has a full blown cold. She is so snotty and can barely breathe so i Fessed it up and seems ok now. Do any of you guys use Vicks to help with breathing during the night?
She's chewing everything in sight and has started dribbling again. When i came home from work she had the rosiest cheeks and wouldnt let me put her down.
She's been eating so much and feeding a lot too. For dinner she had 7 cubes of Lamb casserole and half a jar of mango and apple custard!
Like AJP's Sophie, Ella is a little munchkin so she needs to pack on the pounds.
Vicky - Fingers crossed we all have better nights tonight. But if not i like the idea that a few of you guys might be up with bubs too.
Ann
