Kim,
You can also buy I product called Euky bear rub, It's simular to vicks baby and works wonders. I was told to put vicks on your feet if you've got a really bad cold, haven't tried it but my friend swears by it! Hope your girls are better soon, it's so horrible when they're sick no matter what the weathers like!
Hollye,
Yay for Mia, sounds like she'll be up and moving before you know it!!
Hj,
Fingers crossed for your house, hopefully it sells soon for you!!
I hear you on the laughing front, it's so hard to tell them off when they're like that wait till she gets older. So many times I've had to restrain myself but sometimes you just can't help but laugh too!
Hi to everyone else.....
Hayden's starting to get upset I think he wants another feed, he's still all over the place, but luckily for us he hardly ever gets upset!
Snoo - I have to agree with your friend, I put baby vicks on my kids feet and put socks over it too as well as on their chest and back when they are sick with the flu and it really does work wonders. You should try it next time.
I hope all you ladies with sick bubbas and kids, I hope they all get better quickly. Sending lots of get well vibes your way. hugs
Well today I have my Appt with the Physician to see why I am ANA positive, so it is going to be interesting to see what they come up with. Not sure on how long it is going to take to get any results back tho. Still cant believe 3mths has been and gone already. hugs
no offers on the house yet - however have had a couple come thur 3 times - so hoping they will put offer on!
As for B - had her weighed this morning and she is 6.2kgs!!!!
sorry im not doing personals - i have been naughty and have had a few glasses of bubbly so this small post at the moment is taking me ages to type!
Hope everyone and their bubs are doing well!!!
I just lost a huge post which was the icing on the cake for an already crap day but I will get to that later.
Didi - I have just started back on weight watchers as I lost 15kgs doing that before and kept it off for 2yrs up until having Olive. I put on 25kgs during my pregnancy despite exercising daily and eating healthily but I also think giving up smoking contributed to that. I lost 15kgs in the first week after getting home from the hospital as I also carried alot of fluid so I want to lose about 5-10kgs to get back to my healthy pre baby body. It's only really just started to bother me though.
In regards to the HPT I am relieved as I don't think we are ready for another baby just yet. We want to try after xmas but in saying that we definatly would have embraced it had it been positive.
hj - have you bought the other house? Sounds promising that someone will buy your place soon. Was it you who was having trouble with B not liking baths? Olive is going through that ATM and she is also really frightened by loud noises.
Hollye - glad to here that Mia is having good weight gains. The medication is obviouly working and the 2 of you must be so much happier.
Hi to everyone else.
Now for my vent sorry ladies but here goes.
Had a terrible nights sleep then got ready to go to ABA meeting, got to the venue only to find out that it isn't till next week.
My nipples are really sore and it feels like I have got staph or thrush again. I'm also spending about 6hrs a day expressing ATM so haven't been able to get much housework done.
We had to get Olive's next urine sample today so am stressing about the results of that.
She hasn't done a poo for 2 weeks so is getting pretty annoyed about that.
Then DH gets home and seems really cranky and it turns out that his work are changing his hours so he won't be able to look after Olive when I go back to work in April meaning that we will have to use FDC 3 afternoons a week. They are also changing his role so they can pay him alot less and keep him casual even though he works like 50+hrs a week and just got his truck licence cause they asked him to in the hope they would give him FT work.
One gorgeous thing that did happen is that my mum was holding Olive and when she saw me she smiled, put her arms out and leaned towards me. Awww even after a horrible day being a mum is the best!!!
OM - I'm sorry to hear about hubbys work. How scumbaggy can you get. About Olive not pooping try prune juice. A couple of mls a couple times a day works wonders. For your bbs I bought some Rite Aid breast pads and in the box it contained some hydrogel discs. These are for sore, cracked nipples and areola (sp ) and you can even put them in the fridge before using them for extra coolness. I used them once and they made my nipples feel soooo much better. I'm glad Olive can make you feel better with a smile. It really warms the heart.
didi - I too am having trouble losing weight but this is after 5 kids lol so I have to expect it. I have started doing exercises in our pool every day and have lost some weight but am going to have to lose heaps more before we get married.
Oh god am I having a stressful day. Both youngest DD's are sick and it looks like the others are coming down with it too. DF is stressed and swearing his head off at the kids. Money is tight and we have to do so much this month on top of birthdays and rego's. I need to win lotto lol.
Have to go and have a shower with Mimi (as Kaylee calls her) as DF won't do it. Night all
Hollye and KimB - I already give Olive water and have since birth even though they say BF babies don't need it (not that I tell the ABA meetings that). My doctor says it's fine for BF babies to go 3wks without pooing but something is definatly annoying her lately. Will try boiling some prunes though and adding a little to her water, thanks ladies. She gets weighed tomorrow which will be interesting as they say that when they don't poo they are absorbing all the BM.
OM - I just use sunraysia prune juice and give it to her straight. It doesn't hurt them and it is effective lol. I also give Meara water and have since she came out of hospital. The CHN was horrified but the sister at the chemist said she recommends it. I have done it for all my kids and they are all fine. You could also try brown sugar in the water, that is supposed to work too.
