Nelly - how was your girls night out?

I got my car back on Friday - Yay!!! When the guy walked us through what was replaced the enormitity hit me again, the whole front end was replaced, back bumper, all the sides had work done - basically not one part of the car, other then the roof didnt have something done to it.

[Olive]

sad because sophie is not over not been breastfed yet, poor poppet doesnt understand yet

[taralee]

[visitor1]

Yep we still have one here Tara...only bed time though.

Vicky thats amazing about you car....glad you have it back though. As for my yippeeee...thats now changed.....all is good for now.

Oh Jols....Hugs....Im sure Sophie will understand soon enough...its probably a big thing for her and im sure for yourself too.

taralee - aston still has his, for sleeps. I have decided that it is going to Santa, so as we get close to christmas we will start the whole conversation about giving Santa his dummies to take to the babies, and that Santa will leave him something special for doing that. I did the same thing with Laura, but it was Easter bunny at the same age. Nathan- I took his away when he was 7mths old under the mistaken idea that he would suddenly start to sleep through the night because he didnt have it! Didn't work, he still didnt sleep through the night til he was 11months

Are you contemplating getting rid of Evies?

[visitor1]

Thats so cute Vicky.....wonder if it would work on Chelsea! Im lucky in the respect that Jasmine refuses dummies...so one less worry

[tiggerandpooh]

Kim - nothing ventured, nothing gained. give it a go.

[taralee]

Thats a great idea - giving it to santa. i was going to try taking it away ages ago but then when i found out i was pg i thought i'd keep it since a) i needed the sleep and b) i didnt want to go through changing heaps of stuff when there was enough change in her life.
but we only have it for sleeps too.
I heard of 1 thing to do is before they go for a nap to tell them that you're going to either hang the dummy from the tree or bury it for the fairies, which they can do themselves, then they go and have their nap - sans dummy - then when they wake up go back to the tree/burying spot and there's a little present for them. but yes, i think i will have to wait until she's a bit older for that to work!!

Also, how do i tell if she has a tiny giny infection? she seems to be grabbing at it, and wanting her nappy off and it looks a little red...lol i think i may have answered my own question

[*EmJa*]

thanks for the well wishes ladies will let you all know some news as soon as i can!
better try get some shut eye night xxx

[Gigi]

BLANCHE -
i know you're scared darling
can't wait to hear your news

TARA - what sort of yogurt affected Evie? i've been buying organic yogurt for bilby - first time in my life i've bought anything but the cheapest yogurt, i think the one i get is the JALNA brand. i wanted to give her the plain sort, but she finds that too bitter, so the next step up is the Vanilla one.

VICKY - wow, did you relive the crash a bit when you saw the car?
we are SOOO lucky you are still with us hon!

whoever asked about dummies, i didn't really notice it at the time, but according to our photo library, i can see dummies stopped being important to her around February - i didn't intentionally de-dummy her, it just happened. We do have alot of screaming - as her way of communicating, now. Sometimes it occurs to me, i wonder if she would take the dummy if i offered it to her (to stop even SOME screaming) - then at the relevant time - i am SO distracted by the screaming - i don't evenREMEMBER the dummy idea

poor dh looks like the elephant man or a pig dog - take your pick
he's recovering from the op fine
BUT
is having a massive allergic reaction to the post op bandages (he is allergic to latex)
we spent all afternoon at hosp with six doctors, came home with antibiotics, steriod creams etc - if that doesn't work - they will re-admit him and put on drips.
So, an unexpected week off from work - he is so sore.

TARA - i would expect a baby with a vaginal infection would look enflamed or have a discharge - get your GP to check if you're unsure?. Given bilby's often very loose bowel motions, and that thrush is caused by faecal matter getting into the vagina, i expected her to have heaps of thrust outbreaks - but this hasn't happened. I find it very "eeek" to clean out her vulva, i'm always terrified of being too rough, don't want to hurt her, but of course, don't want to leave poo there either - it's my most unfavourite thing to do. So much easier to clean the rest of her!

I did notice, back in the early days, when i used supermarket disposable wipes, that bilby looked red - i worked out it was a reaction to the wipes, so swapped over to facewashers and a waterspray bottle - that doesn't irriate her. so i don't think her skin could cope with the perfumes and chemicals in the disposable wipes. (Even though the packet said "Sensitive" "No alcohol" and all those other phrases companies put to suck you in).

Bilby likes to play the drum on her bits! a new trick, makes me cringe, and her father blushes, but she obviously likes it - no parenting book told me to expect this!!!! I'd only ever heard about little boys liking to "play" with their bits.

Bilby spent hours pushing her stroller round and round the hospital today, she just loves pushing!!! Impossible to sit and wait anywhere with her now.

[*EmJa*]

lol Gigi, Emelia loves to play with her girly bits as soon as the nappy comes off, difficult when she has done number 2!!! i always thought it was just boys too

well getting ready to head to the hospital, i got some sleep last night not much though!!

cya ladies...dont miss me to much

[taralee]

Yay Blanche! good luck and we'll miss you heaps!

[Olive]

GOODLUCK TODAY BLANCHE!!!!!!!!

you'll be fine and cant wait to hear!!!!

[tiggerandpooh]

Off to the hospital today for DH's MRI. He is nervous, not that he will admit it, just all his behaviour indicates it - cranky, irritable, smoking heaps! He is in in so much pain and discomfort too. should be interesting.

Yes it was a shock to find out how much damage I had done to my car, and I did "re -live" the accident. I havent driven the car by myself yet. I went to get fuel last night, and took laura with me, and she asked me why did I want her to go with me... I admitted that I was feeling a little nervous going by myself just yet.

Hope everyone has a good day - can't wait to hear the news about Blanche and Jack.

You next Taralee!!!

[visitor1]

All the best Blanche!!
