ive heard theres some not so good suburbs right next to crestmead..... are they really bad?
Which suburbs were you thinking of, if it's Logan Central/Woodridge or Kingston, I would afree that there are beter plces. But Crestmead, Marsden, Heritage Park, Regents Park are good.
hugs xoxo
Amanda - u should of poped in and said gday - i live 5-10mins away from jindalee DFO!
hi guys,
just a quick one gotta do the chrissy shopping!!
jacob didnt want to settle last night so I ended up with him in our bed, all night, he stirred at about 5am (went to sleep around midnight) so I popped the dummy in until I could back up, but he fell staright back to sleep and didnt wake until 7 this morning, omg thats the biggest sleep he has ever had, my poor boobs arent liking it much though!!
also had a bath in the big bath with him the other night, he LOVED it, I had him floating on his back in front of me, he was smiling and kicking, splashing his arms around, wasnt happy when I tried to sit him down!!Then he did a poo, so we got out!!:lol:
he laughed out loud and was awake last night too, dp was watching tv and killing himself laughing about something he heard a noise and looked down and jacob was looking at him laughing too!! so cute.
anyway have a great day all, Im off to brave the shops....not looking forward to it!:rolleyes:
Oh no poo in the bath!!! :rofl: too funny! Aren't the smiles and giggles so adorable! Im trying to get them on camera but he gets all star struck when I pull it out!!
Off for day 2 of shopping hopefully will get it all done!!!!!
Same here Tan - I've been trying to capture the smiles on camera but Lara wont co-operate. Hopefully we'll get some good shots on xmas day.
Starrysky - Yay on Jacob's biggest sleep. Sounds like you both had a great time in the bath, apart from the poo ha ha. Good luck shopping today. I've still got a bit of xmas shopping to do too, not looking forward to it either.
DH has to work tomorrow now so today is his only day off until xmas. He is still in bed coz he never came to bed until 4am. Hes not a morning person at all but Im going to go wake him soon, he'll be tired and cranky but too bad!!!
Better go, hi to everyone and have a great day.
Leigh - good luck with waking DH! HEHEHE
Starry - how funny is that! Jacob pooing in the bath - funny u should say that i was actually thinking of having a bath with Bianca tonight cause she is getting a bit big for her bath but im now thinking twice! hahahaha
Tan - how are u going? feeling better?
Well we had another hellish night with Bianca - for some reason she is back to not settling of a night time! its driving me nuts! we got her down just before midnight! but i guess she at least sleeps for about 6hrs so thats something!
We have just got back from battling the shops!
How did everyone else go?
i survived!
At one stage i had my sister, her 2 kids (with 2 friends), my mum, my MIL n FIL and my SIL all is the same house. with me and DP thats 11 people!!!! omg.. how did i manage. Mia was fantastic as she usually is and gave heaps of smiles. She was GLUED to the TV today when Dora the Explorer was on.. oh bother! lol.
Off to the doctors tomorrow morning. Mia is still sick and has been for 2 weeks. Its not getting better and the panadol is doing nothing so off to the doctors we go. I just want her to have some relief. I was crying before coz she was trying to sleep and she couldnt because of her really yucky nose. I spoke to the guy at the chemist and he seems to think mayb she has an allergy? it makes sense as i have a very long haired cat and his hair is everywhere. Its sad to think we may have to get rid of him ill see what the doc says tho.
Apart from that shes been great. LOVES her new formula! This mornings she downed the whole 180 mls and this arvo she had about 150 so now wonder she starting to look like im giving her steak sandwiches!! As u will see from my pics in the gallery!
She has another MCHN check on monday.. im sure shes over 5 kilos for sure. Im thinking about 5.2 the little chubba.
Morning ladies!
How are we all today? We are good, my beautiful boy is sleeping well, sleeps from about 7:30pm to 2:30am then back down until 7am. Not as good as James Tan but I feel like I'm getting sleep! :dance:
We are off to Mum's today, and I have to go and get some photos printed for our Christmas cards (yes I STILL haven't sent them!) People might get them before New Years!! haha oh well!
Have a good day everyone! :D
Welcome Jindalee!!!
That's great Hippie!! I have my cards but haven 't printed them!!! I will post in the gallery for you all to check out!
Wow Hollye what a full house! HOw did your GP check up go. It's so hard when they have a cold for so long because nothing really works except time. :( I found with Izzy that it tends to hang around for a lot longer than it does with us and she tends to just get better and then gets something else. It sucks. I hope she's better soon hun. James was 5.1kgs at 4 weeks :rofl:! I don't think Mia is a chubber somehow! All his nearly 6 kgs of weight is in his cheeks!!!!!
HJ - Thanks for asking hun, I am feeling heaps better. Having 2 days with just James and a decent sleep in yesterday has made a world of difference! Iz had a great tme at mums and I got my sanity back!! :) How did Bianca go last night???
Leigh, Starry, Amanda and everyone I've missed huge :hug: to you all and your lovely bubs!!
Well Im thinking of switching to cloth. 2 in full time sposies is terrible - I feel bad for our poor old environment and our bins are overflowing every week so DH has given me permission to buy 4 to try out and see how we go! So far am liking AIO's and ones that the size lasts a while - so maybe GK, a BG and then Im not sure - maybe swaddlebees! There are SO many to choose from and of course I found one I loved that was $45!!! Eeeek!
Here is our Christmas card and here is James' birth annoucement card!
Hi everyone,
Hollye congrats on ur decision to move to Brizzy. I wasn't going to say it when you were deciding, but it'd probably be better - there's heaps more options there. That's about the only drawback here - very few options, and VERY poor shopping!!!!! The only baby shopping here is Target, Big W and Toyworld! It's crazy - it has a poplulation of over 50,000 and bubs galore!!! Anyhoo (*breath*)... We've actually been considering moving to the Sunny Coast for a while and it might be back on the cards again soon... But moving up here has been the best thing we've done. We moved for the same reasons - just coz we could (and my grandparents are here) and we hated Shepp. i'd never move back to Vic again now. I love the weather and lifestyle here too much.
We're doing well here. I've done something to my stomache tho. It started out like just sore muscles but then got worse in a couple of hours the other night. Now it's pretty bad at night and really bad in the morning, but for the rest of the day it's fine so long as i don't have much pressure around my belly button. It's above my c/s wound, but it's the same kind of pain when i couldn't put myself in and out of bed without DHs help. Maybe I have just stretched the muscles?
Anyway, Liam's great and I'm enjoying not having to worry about 'how he'll be today' especially when we go out coz I know I can take it in my stride whatever happens. We've still got him in his bassinette but he'll have to move into the cot soon (just as soon as we FINALLY finish painting it!!). I love the idea of putting the basinette in the cot,very clever. He was self-settling but now he's back to wanting to be put to sleep. Then (like now) sometimes he'll wake up 5 mins after being put in the basinette. Grrrr!
Is everyone elses bubs rolling over? Liam isnt even rolling onto his side or anything. Is there something i can do to encourage it?
1stbub27.. when u are changing his nappy while hes in his back, grab his legs and make the go to the side. Do this everytime and he will start to roll onto his side and then on his tummy. Thats what i do with Mia and its all she does now. Makes nappy time very very interesting lol!
off to get ready for the day!
mwah xoxoxo
Goodmorning All!
Not long now until Chrissy!!!!!!
Hollye - oh my gosh i would go nuts having all those ppl in our house at one time! exspecially since our house isnt the biggest! We are selling and moving asap next year too a bigger house for little Bianca! and i have put in my order for a house with a pool! hehehe
How did things go at the doc's?
Tan - im very happy to hear that u are feeling better! u should do that more often! Izzy loves it and so do u - so u both win!
We had a good night with B last night - but in saying that i think i wore her out shopping and than we had our street chrissy drinks last night - she was asleep at 2230 and woke up at 0630 this morning! She is sitting on my lap right now and she says hello!
She was eyeing of Jame's pics too! hmmmm i think i better watch her! :lol:
Also i have switched to cloth during the day with Bianca - but im using the good old fashioned cloth nappies! and i acutally don't mind it! of a night time and when we go out we are using disposables tho!
Hippie - yeah for getting some sleep - it feels great doesnt it!!!
1stBub27 - u could always move to brissy aswell (hint hint) I hope whatever u have done to ur tummy isnt too serious! Have u made a appt to get it checked out?
Bianca is rolling over from Belly to Back - but not quite Back to Belly yet!
She gets Heaps of belly time so i think that has helped a bit also! and im down on the floor heaps during the day playing with her and "teaching" her how to do it!
Liam will be rolling around soon enough! But what Hollye said is a good idea!
Apart from all that - not much happening from my end today! DH is now on Holidays (again) we are going to his parents tomorrow to do the chrissy thing. im so not looking forward to it! i wonder if i could come down with some illness that will make me temporarily bed ridden for tomorrow? hmmmmm
Oh i forgot to tell u all that Bianca had her first spew last night! it was massive, came out her nose and her mouth, ended up all over me and the couch (good thing we didnt buy a new couch) it was pretty awesome, but poor B!!!!
Docs went all good. Mia is really healthy he said and checked her over and said its best for me to wait out her cold as they usually last for a minimum of 3 weeks atleast anyway. But he checked her ears, throat, chest etc and all good. Just a yucky nose. He could have given her something to help dry up her nose but he said the side effects from it would have been way worse than her cold. So he doesnt like giving it to babies. So all good.. ill keep suctioning her snot out and raising her head when she sleeps.
Found a lady in town that was making xmas balls with names on them for $2! so i got one for Mia that has her name on it and its now hanging from the tree..
No drama's what so ever here... Im coping really well and Mia haas sort of put herself in a routine and its working well with both of us. Tho she is a little cranky now coz i got her up at 9:30am this morning and she usually doesnt get up till 11. Then usually naps for 30 mins and has her 2:30 feed and then about 4:30 shes goes down for about 3-4 hours, has another bottle and goes back down till about 6:30-7am. BUT today its been abit shuffeled around. After her 6:30 feed she went back down and i gave her a little before we left so she wouldnt scream the doctors ears off, so that feed stuffed things up but when we got home i made her another bottle ans she had 100mls at 11am so im hoping it will still be ok. But i know this sleep now is going to turn into a 2-3 hour one except a 30 min one. oh well..
wow i do ramble, i hope that makes sense.
as for rolling... Mia does back to tummy but not tummy to back. Doesnt help i dont put her on her tummy much coz she doesnt like it.
Hi Ladies,
It was my turn to have a horrid night/day. Olive and I had a huge day yesterday going to an LC at 6:30am, a peadiatric speech pathologist at 9:30am then xmas shopping till 5:30pm, it's no wonder she's unsettled! I'm also not sure if it's because I started using nipple sheilds yesterday arvo, she doesn't seem very impressed at all. I got about 5hrs last night of broken sleep and feel like s**t. Everything feels so hard today, the BF especially but i'm so determined to make it work, oh the joys of sleep deprivation. (you can read about the next BF phase in that section on BB). Of course it's all worth it and I love Olive to death, She's usually such a good girl, we all just have these days sometimes I guess. I also got AF back yesterday so I think thats contributing to my emotional state. I'm on the mini pill, has anyone else got AF back while on this? Do you keep taking it?
On a funnier note, yesterday when we were shopping Olive pooed everywhere! We were having lunch in Jamica Blue, I picked her up to go and change her and it went all over my top, on the floor, all over her, EVERYWHERE!!! Quite embarressing but funny at the same time. Then I went to change her and had left the wipes in the pram so had to use her wrap, needless to say I had a lovely mess when I got home. Definately going to make sure the bag has everything in it next time.
1stbub27 - sounds as though our babies have very similiar behaviour and they were even born on the same day. Olive is'nt rolling over yet either although she is trying.
Hi to everyone else.
yes u MUST keep taking ur mini pill!!! ALWAYS!!! EVERY DAY at the same time or within 3 hours. OK!!! lol
