Hollye & Istbub- Hope the hubbies get better asap! Can't be sick for Christmas!!
Tan- I would give flats a go, they aren't that hard but the trick I found to make them better is getting some mircofleece from Spotlight (has to be micro not just polar fleece) and just cutting them up (no need to sew the edges) and using them as liners, keeps bub feeling dry.
I've already forgotten the rest of the personals! Sorry to everyone else I've missed! My brain is worse than it was when I was pregnant!
We are having a lazy day today, ahead of all the Christmas madness!! DH has his work break up today and he said he'll be home about 4pm...yeah right!! I can see myself having to go pick him up at midnight!
We are off to the in-laws tomorrow (what joy! )
HJ did you find an illness that you came down with? Can I borrow it!! But I have already told DH we aren't staying late!
Well I'm off to do Christmas cards....yes I STILL haven't done them! oh well!
Well Bianca is back to waking up twice during the night - thank god dh is on holidays (again) and he is getting up too her! Its funny how just when u think u are in a routine they go and change it on u! cheeky little devils they are!
Hollye - is Mia really only having 4 drinks in a 24hr period? Bianca is still on 5-6! i wish it was only 4 - thank god im not BFing thats all i can say!
How is DP - is he feeling any better? nothing worse than a sick male! they are such sooks!
Hippie - nope sorry - a mystery illness did not come my way - i even tried telling him we weren't going to stay for too long but that didnt work either!
Sometimes i feel a bit cruel when i make comments like that - since he never complains about going to my parents, mind u my parents are soooo much more nicer and laid back - i still call his parents MR and MRS - they have never corrected me on it either! and we have been together for 7yrs! thats how much of a stiff they are! and i still have to wait to be offered a drink - wheres DH just raids my parents cupboards and fridge etc and calls my mum, mum - however my dad is called by his first name!
So good luck with ur Inlaws - are they are bad as mine?
1stBub27 - "internet virus" how funny are u!!!! thats a good one!
Hope ur DH is feeling better too! mines gone out to buy me more alcohol - hehehehe
Tan - i reakon flats are the way to go - they are cheeper and dry quicker, and are still cloth and not dispoables - they other ones are cute - but....... i still like flats! hehehe
How is the buisness going? Its good that Izzy is sleeping in a little longer!
Wait a few more years and she will never want too get out of bed!
Blizz - sounds like u are having a great time - if i was u i would check that pressie out under the tree - go on give it a little shake! hehehehe
yeh HJ - Mia's norm is bottles at 6am, 11am, 2pm ( in between here, depending on how much she sleeps is when the extra one goes in) 8-9pm.
Dp went to the docs this morning. SOme virus that affects his respitory something and puts pressure on his stomach?!?! i dunno.. lol.. some virus. So lotsa rest.. water.. panadol and vit c for him today.
HJ - James is still 3 hourly and sometimes more like 2 hourly during the day! He sleeps overnight though so I guess he is catching up during the day. He will feed roughly at 7, 10, 1, 4, then 6 and again at 730 then down for the night and is fully b'fed so that might make a difference. I won't be introducing water until solids at 6 mths, same as I did for Izzy but I think with hot weather and if you are FF'ing then some people do? I add extra small breastfeeds in if I think he might be thirsty on a really hot day. Not sure if you can do that with formula. Business is going well - we are busy but take it over officially on the 1st Jan. In the meantime we are sourcing new supppliers, setting up our MYOB stuff and data bases etc!!!! Great time to buy a business!
Wow Hollye - that seems like alot of water for a wee one!!! I guess because I'm breastfeeding I do things differently and offer more boob but I thought you would just offer more milk!
HJ - lucky you not BFing, you can have alcohol!! What I'd give today....!
Is anyone just using sposies? I'm surprised at the number using cloth. I always thought flats would be too much work but with the PUL covers & Little Squirt I think i could probably do them. I do love the fact my fitteds are gathered at the leg and back for more protection tho. Who needs to clean up more yucky bodily stuff.
Well i'm off to have coffee with a friend from work. Last time she just talked about work flat out and barely stopped to ask about me, bub, or our new life. I undersand and don't really mind too much, I'm just sooo tired and im hoping it wont feel like a chore. I'd planned to go to yoga tonight for 1st time. Not sure if I'll make it and not sure if i should anyway given my tummy (which is heaps better now). couldn't make an appoint with the Dr, yesterday was his last day and the docs still around were fully booked.
1stBub27 - yep i guess there are some good things about not bfing!
i got tipsy for the 1st time in AGES on friday night - thank goodness we only had to travel from next door - and i tell u what it felt sooooo good! But having Bianca kept me on the straight and narrow and knew when to stop! Party pooper that she is hahahaha
Have fun going out with coffee - and as for yoga - pft put it off until next year - hehehe! well at least until ur belly is better!
Tan - B usually sleeps over night also so i guess that might be why she drinks alot during the day!
Is there any reason why u are not going to try James on water until 6mths?
we have tried B on it but she dosent seem to thrilled with it!
we also tried getting B down for the night at 1930 but didnt work - she was down at 2200 which is around her normal time - i wish she would go down earlier just so DH and i could have some alone time, like the good old days - but they are well and truely a thing of the past!
What a way to start the new year - officially taking over ur own buisness - thats gotta be exciting yet scary at the same time - have u done any thing like it before?
ive just taught DH how to fold nappies now he does a better job than me!
Talking about DH - he has decided he is going to self teach how to play the guitar! so he has borrowed my brothers and he is out in the lounge room making a racket - Bianca is already not a fan! i think we should all make a bet on how long until the novelty wears off!
nah i wouldnt offer more milk, if i was BFing i would but too much formula will give her a tummy ache. She spreads the 200 mls out over the day.. like 30 mls at a time. She just loves anything to do with water.
HJ - I guess because I am breastfeeding that I know that if I offer him short feeds on a hot day, that is the watery foremilk and better for him than water and will quench his thirst as well. At 6 mths when he starts solids I will introduce a sippy cup with his lunch etc. I'm not sure with FF'ing whether to offer more water but I would have thought an extra bottle would do the trick. I would be scared they would fill up too much on water rather than milk seeing as their tummy is so small.
DH used to have a business but it was a bit different - he is a chippy and had a fencing business. This is a bit different selling novelty chocolates!!! It's fun though and fingers crossed we can build it up and make some good money on the side. The good thing is that we can claim holidays etc because we are stocked at many touristy places!
Ive only offered her water just to see how she takes too it - i wouldnt replace or use it instead of her formula, that always comes first!
Have u got a website set up for u chocolate buisness? i so could never go into a buisness like that - i would eat too many!
Bargin on the holidays!
)
oh well!
