Babies Born November 2006 #21

[nelly]

Hi there everyone - just let me reintroduce myself since I haven't been here for ages!!!!

Sorry I too have been feeling blah have been lurking and reading but not posting. Not sleeping very well Jake has been better tho but knocked myself out last night with a sleeping tab and went for 12 hours.

Jake has cut his next 2 top teeth in the past few days - he now has 6 - and the next bottom 2 are there almost about to cut. He has been on and off his food but I am blaming teeth for that.

We went to a 2nd bday on Friday and a first yday and more to come.... it's the beginning of party season!

I have a wedding this weekend and am away Friday and Saturday bcos I am a bmaid and Jake is with Darren friday and a friend Sat nights. It will be my first ever baby free nights. AM a bit worried about the boobies but Jake has started dropping back to just 2 main feeds and a snack after lunch so maybe I can get him to drop the snack this week so I only has to express twice....

Vicky hope you are hanging in there call if you need to sorry no personals me either but promise to keep up now.

NELLY yay for the 12 hours sleep!!!

KIM i would just dilute the gastrolyte until it solely becomes water!!

GIGI yep thought more about the pressie and books would be teh way to go as christy said!!!

booked our flights to QLD this morning for $24 each one way!! bargin!!!

[taralee]

Gigi - what about those crayons you can get for in the bath? they're quite cool - you can also get 'stick on' shapes that they can stick around the bath. just to take the focus entirely off crawling. These are a great way to develop fine motor skills and express creativity

hey everyone, havent been on much lately, trying to get over this damn flu.

Vicky, hope ur feeling better soon, sorry u have to go through it

Jols, Glad u were in the lolly shop, how scary to think if u werent :/

Kim, maybe try her with a sports water bottle, Emelia loves drinking out of mine cos she knows its mummys!! also maybe try a straw, Emelia has just started..she loves her water !!!
How u feeling, is ur tummy getting huge? i was just looking at my bump when i was preggers with Emelia and i was huge by the end lol

Nelly - wow six teeth we still only have 2 here!!

Tara - mmmm any flavour malibus are good do they not sell them anymore?

Gigi - maybe a gift card, nice and light then bubs mummy can choose!! WTG bilby on the crawling

Ann - they look so cute drinking from straws!!!

Christy - How are u? hows everything going?

well not a whole lot going on here, had a reasonable good weekend..feeling alot better today...so glad that i dont have m/s to go with this flu!

Emelia took two steps yesterday and stands up without holding onto anything, wont be long now!!!

[visitor1]

Good idea Jols.. ill give that a go!!

Blanche... hmm tummy = HUGE!! OMG i reckon im 1.5 times the size (bigger) then i was with Chelsea...and its horrible....and my boobies... holy hell....hmmmm yes.. off to get fitted for new ones this week some time!

[luua]

Kim - I was HUGE with Ella as well. People kept insisting I was about to deliver but I was only 20wks! LOL

Nelly - We're in exactly the same boat. Ellas 5th and 6th teeth are just under the surface and are pushing through. i wouldnt be suprised if i see them tomorrow. But yep, not eating much today. I find when she is teething she likes food that massage her gums - pasta etc.

Gigi - Ella was choking when she had mushed foods but we gave her some small button-size pieces of toast and she finally got it after a week or so. It was important for us not to force the eating chunky foods coz we didnt want her to feel negative about eating so we gave her toast every second day.

Vicky - how are you feeling?

AJP - which airline are you flying. We're thinking of taking a trip up to Cairns...

Blanche - wow she's so strong! Ella can pull her bum 15cms off the bottom of the bath. but that's it.

Ellas started clapping but she claps hand over hand instead hands together she's so cute.

Ann

[Olive]

Ann flying Tiger airlines, the new one!!!

well i was pretty small pregnant!! very compact, was constantly told was having a small baby!!

[luua]

oh Gigi - i forgot to mention Ella is on the 10th percentile but she eats so much! She's going to be like her little mumma

[christy]

Hello!!!

okay... I'm going to catch up I promise!

QLD mummies, would love to catch up sometime in the next few weeks!!

Jovie update: no idea how much she weighs but she seems to have skipped size 0, too bad too because I had some really cute stuff that she didn't get to wear (luckily they were Matilda hand me downs). She's mostly wearing size 1 depending on the brand. Two weeks ago she stood up on night & then whammo, she cruised around the table. Now shes up all the time climbing up & cruising. Still commando crawling though, not interested in proper crawling. She's into more stuff now and we've had to lift things up for a while & cover power outlets again. She's learned the "ah ah" phrase and now will crawl up to the oven, touch it and said "ah ah" and shake her head no pretty smart cookie.

Life for us: we are having a house built behind us which is so noisy during the day I tend to escape. Its beautiful weather so will have to get out & start walking now that my toe is healing up. No more excuses for not walking... other than its too hot

Working more lately, I get this weekend off.

What else...... not much really

I've been reading about you all and not respoding much because life has been hectic. Things will settle now. I'm joining a sewing circle on Wednesdays now so that will be heaps fun. Just something to do and we will all just go to each others houses & do projects & have the kids run feral.

[nelly]

ok I am not good today Jake is currently screaming his head off no sleep since 9am but still refusing to go down I am exhausted I need a rest so he can stay in there and scream....

*sigh*

where are those rose tinted mothering days we all imagined when pregnant????

[christy]

*hugs* wanna come over & join our caos?

[visitor1]

Chelsea has a cold. Coughing and runny nose...real chesty cough too....

[nelly]

silence is golden only sniffs and snorts sleep isn't too far away...

I hope this doesn't mean he won't sleep to night bcos of a late sleep

thanks christy you made me want to cry and I had a tear in my eye it is noice to know people care!

Kim Jake and I have that same cold and I am a bmaid at a wedding on Saturday what fun!

[Monchika]

Hi girls.........can I join in here??

My Mr Luke is finally sitting up and only pushing himself around on his tummy backwards. No teeth yet..........anyone else have bubs without teeth at this age?

[visitor1]

Welcome Monchika....

Yay another boy for our girls to fight over (we only have 3 boys in here...the rest are girls..lol)!!

When was Luke born?


Nelly you poor thing....Chelsea was very unsettled last night...3 hours to get her to sleep (12-3am) and then she was screaming at 7am again.

[Monchika]

Thanks for the welcome....Luke was born 22nd November...........I am very lucky, he is a great sleeper and has been since 4 weeks.........he must have known that his mummy would be very very grumpy without her sleep LOL

[*EmJa*]

Welcome Monchika...we only have 2 teeth here!

Nelly hope u get some sleep

Christy - how cute that Jovie shakes her head "no" very smart cookie indeed!!

Kim - Poor Chels, i know how shes feeling

Emelia has been an angel in the days lately sleeping twice a day now each time 2 hours, but still waking at night for dummy, want to ditch that damn dummy!

[taralee]
