the sun is shining today - thank god! we went out and had milkshakes, and are having friends over this afternoon. are going to go exploring over the property and see what damage has been done, and how much water is about. it is so nice to see the sun!!!!!! Yay!!!!
TARA dont feel bad hun!! many more briuses to come!!
NELLY i remember having a perferated eardrum at 10, went to bed fine woke up with blood everywhere!!! hurt like hell to
ANN wow ont he 8 cubes sophie has nowhere near that much so she is certainly liking her food, i wouldnt be concerned at all.
VICKY yay for sun its 26 here!!!!! in melbourne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great day
we went out for tea last night to a place called Taxi, in federation square, very upmarket, meals start at around the $40 mark!!! big prices small meals!!! was ok but not worth that sort of money!!! dessert was $20!! i've had great meals for half the price!!
i still have another cold. coughing my lungs up at the moment, its amazing to think that breastfeeding is the best thing for sophie but is making me very run down, i've had cold after cold lately, but the good thing is everything i get, she then ammune to, so has its benefits
Chelsea has JUST gone to bed.... all day refused bottles... maybe drank a total of 1 all day
Last night wasnt to bad.. but worse then any other nights. 12am Chels was screaming...having a nightmare.. so calmed her down....then 1.30am screaming and throwing herself around again so fully woke her.. cuddles and calmed her down... back to bed and slept til 8am.
the sun is shining again today - yay! and the water has subsided from the roada, so the kids were even able to walk to the bus stop (much to their disgust!) I think I will pop out this afternoon, I have a friend coming this morning. they have a 4 wheel drive, so won't have any problem getting up the drive. I'm apprehensive about driving up, which is why I will wait til this afternoon to go out. want the sun to dry it out some more. I am going to ring the real estate though as it will need to be regraded - the flood washed alot of it away, and there are big holes everywhere. makes navigating it in a normal car interesting!!!
hope you all have a good day. Nelly glad Jake is on the mend - hope last night was uneventful for you.
AAhhhhh..... sleep what a precious thing - you don't realise just how much so until you have a baby! We had a fairly uneventful night - Jake stirred twice and resettled himself both times. He is now rolling his balls and chasing them all over the house... a much happier boy. Is this the last illness for us for the season?????
Vicky good to hear you can get down your driveway - it's amazing how quickly the water recedes! I guess it shows it's a good site for a dam... if we continue to have freak once in a century weather!
Ohhh Kim - what a merry-go-round we are all on. I hope she gets better - is she drinking heaps of water and eating lots of solids during the day bcos she may be self weaning.
Jols dinner sounded nice - it's just good to get out we are planning for that soon... one day! IKWYM about being so run down this is the sickest I have been in a season ever and my dr gave me a bit of a rap over the knuckles bos it is partly my fault for not eating entirely well. Back on the BF multi-vitamins and bio-c and I really haven't been too bad since.
Ann that is so exciting that she is pulling herself up! Maake sure you clear all coffee tables and low shelves - otherwise she will for you very very soon!
nelly glad you had a better night!!!!, i too really need to get back on the multis as well, over being sick alk the time!!!
VICKY hope the drivway hasnt washed away!! it will be nice to be able to get out and about again
KIM chels may just be having an off day and didnt feel like esting, hopefully today's a better day!
Well 12am rolled around and the nightmare returned for poor Chelsea... again fully woke her.. calmed her down and was back to sleep by 1230am
She is still asleep in bed now.
Nelly...whats self weaning?? Does this mean she wont drink milk anymore? What do i do now?? OMG...to much for me! She is drinking water....but not alot of solids in the day.... mainly night time is her feast.
Vicky, great to hear the sun is out....i was bit worried bout u over the last few days! As promised...i kept bubby inside!! haha
I'm feeling rather sheepish now - I had such bad anxiety attacks, and DH just put me to bed. so i'm feeling pretty exhausted. All that adreline running around for a while knocks you flat when its over!
Aston bit me this morning. I don't think it was on purpose. its the second time he has done it, think the 2nd top tooth that is still breaking through may be the problem. gosh it hurts though!!
I have been busy cleaning the house this morning - must be the spring feeling in the air, either that or I'm bored lol
Kim - like Jols said Chels may just be having an off day, she may also be filling herself up at night and not want to feed daytimes. But if she continues to refuse her day bottles over a week and she is getting her solids into her she may be weaning. This article has some info... https://www.bellybelly.com.au/baby/weaning-your-baby
also this is from another BB article:
... Consider: how often do you eat, drink, nibble, snack, or sip through an average day? Did you know that you would be having a cup of coffee at four o’clock this afternoon, or did you just feel like one? Did you tell your work colleagues you wouldn’t be able to have lunch with them at midday because you are not scheduled to eat until one o’clock? Doesn’t your hunger and thirst change according to the weather and your own activity level? As adults, we eat and drink according to our own body signals... and babies do too....
See how she goes - Jake has been dropping his morning BF everyday and somedays isn't too interested in his arvo feed, has a few sucks and is off and running.
She may however also be coming down with something - eg an ear infection it hurts to suck and chew as I have just learnt - and it is normal for them to go off their food when sick, getting sick or teething.
Have I confused you? Sorry if I have...
Those sharp top teeth hurt don't they Vicky! Jake has settled down with the biting now - apparently is a symptom of teething. Try some bonjela on him about 10 - 20 mins b4 a feed might help sooth the gums.....

: missed Vicky's post :redface:
I guess i always thought weaning was just BF babies.... which all articles refer too...but i spose FF is kinda the same but its never talked about in that way.
Evies not interesting in bf's during the day but guzzles at night - so i am EXPLODING here! i lent my breast pump to my SIL too....oh well, at least i look hot! lol
last night was pretty crap. i'm over trying to work out why she's not sleeping - she guzzles feeds like i said so maybe she is waking cos she needs that feed?
going to see nurse this morning to talk about night waking.
geez i have a great rack roflmao
We didnt have a great night, i was up looking after DP and Emelia.:s DP seems to be having his attacks at night and ive gotta get him through them and with Emelia waking too its exhuasting me, but i have to be strong for the both of them *takes deep breaths* i know this may sound selfish but when do i get a break *sigh*
blanche your not being selfish at all of course you need a break and deserve it but i understand thats not really possible at the moment, what time of day is he taking his meds???
Blanche I have no doubt that its just as hard for you as it is for him. Its interesting to hear from someone from the "other side" so to say, as I am the one in my house who suffers from anxiety attacks - and DH is the one who looks after me when I'm in the midst of them. Most of the time I can manage it myself - after lots of therapy and learning how to breath etc. but sometimes it goes to far before I can get a hold of it. Is your DP doing some counselling, or learning some breathing techniques? PM if you want to ask me anything. I have suffered from Acute anxiety disorder for a long time... Hang in there hun - is there anyone who can have Emelia for a few hours, so you can have some much needed YOU time?
lol Tara at the great rack... good luck at the nurse. Hope you get some answers
Kim - like Nelly said it sounds like she is weaning herself to me as well. Aston is dropping that first feed of the day at the moment too - today he didn't have a good feed til I went to put him down for his sleep at 9.45 - which he is still sleeping!! Hows your baby bump going?
Hi Christy - how's things in your world.
Lucky you Jols going out for dinner....really need to organise that soon to do with my DH too!!
