Hollye - I recken keep the dreamfeed, if it's not broke then don't try to fix it, they keep us on our toes enough!!!
Leigh - I'm not sure about getting Olive christened either. My mum would love it if we did but i'm just not sure. I was thinking of a naming ceremony instead but have never been to one so I don't know what they are actually like. Has anyone been to one?
Amanda - How is the mastitis? Did you need AB
Hi to everyone i've missed.
Olive has still been really unsettled and is taking AGES to get to sleep. She had her immunisations this arvo which was horrible but apart from the initial screaming seems fine so far and is asleep now.
I feel like @#!* from the meds I am on to clear up my infection. Headaches, shortness of breath, lightheadedness and nausea, just what you need with a baby and i'm not allowed to go in the sun either! I also feel incredibly guilty about the formula and Olive hates it and looks at me like "what is this crap" everytime I give it to her. Dh is also PMO because he has gone fishing tonight, is going surfing tomorrow and fishing on sunday so is in the bad books big time! He knows it and is trying to suck up but all I want is to feel myself again and have some baby free time. It's my sisters hens night tomorrow night but i'm not sure if I will go or not due to how i'm feeling but at the same time it's a good excuse to leave Olive at home with her dad and take my mind off it all. Hope i'm feeling better by the actual wedding next weekend. Olive tried on her little mini light gold raw silk flowergirl dress yesterday and it was the cutest thing ever! My mum made it to match my 4 other nieces' and it is just lovely. My MIL is babysitting for a couple of hours so hopefully that goes well, she is SO excited.
Sorry for all the whinging girls, hope you all have lovely weekends.
I forgot to add that Olive sat up by herself for about 5mins today on several occasions. I sat her down then she used her arms to hold herself up clever girl!
Aw OM :hugs: Sorry you're having such a hard time ATM. Don't feel guilty about the bottle, you have no choice. Even if Olive were to remember it down the track I know she would understand. Baby's just love routine (can't blame them coming into this strange strange new environment) so the look and any unsettling is just due to that, not coz she thinks you're a bad mum. It's actually good she doesn't seem all that impressed with it. Should make it easier to wean her off it when you're all cleared up. That was my prob with Liam, he got the bottle and LOOOVED it. I'll be holding off on the bottle as long as i can for the 2nd one.
Liam can sit up for a few minutes on his own but he balances forward and i wonder how he can breath properly like that, though he seems happy...
Amanda - hope Julian gets better. Hopefully its just a short lived thing.
BTW, the play gym you have him on in the picture, with the bug (butterfly?) head - I have that one!!
HJ - I started Liam on rice cereal last Monday and Tuesday. I used the Rafferty's Garden organic with extra iron thing - in a squishy pack in Woolies. I haven't used it since coz he was cranky the afternoon afterwards, and has been good since i stopped. So I'll leave it a week or 2 then try again. Every book and website I've read up on has suggested starting at 4-6months, depending on the baby. I figured since he seemed hungry and interested I'd try and if we had problems i could stop and try a little later.
Oh! I've rediscovered my love for opshops! I picked up a multifunction bar-mix type thing with a good sized chopper for baby food, for only THREE DOLLARS!!!! LOVE a bargain.
Just a quick one my lovely's! i have just added some more pics of Bianca if anyone wanted to check em out - and i have a link thingy at the bottom of my signature!
Well it seems as though all of our bubs have had bad reactions to their 4mth needles. After sleeping from 5:30pm-5:30am Olive woke up screaming and didn't stop. We gave her panadol and she slept but then was really off for the rest of the day with fevers and even spewed twice (she NEVER spews). She also has a nasty red mark and lump on one of her legs. She is asleep now after being dosed up again so hopefully she is better tomorrow.
p.s DH didn't go surfing and stayed home to help me so is in the good books again
