Hope you all had good weekends. Mine was pretty good, went shopping both days and other then that just hung out at home. DH and I watched a vid together and I had a few wines on friday night which was nice.
Olive was abit out of sorts yesterday afternoon and last night. She is getting her second tooth and it seems to be giving her more grief then the first. She wouldn't eat her dinner so woke up 3 times last night and only had 2 20min sleeps today which isn't like her at all. She ate her dinner tonight so will hopefully sleep better as I am buggered. I'm going to watch Underbelly while I express and go to bed. My FIL visited today and Olive hated him, poor guy. She just screamed whenever he looked at her which is strange as she is usually really social. We did have a big morning though as we went to the centre where I work and had a welcome back morning tea for me. I wonder if she knows a big change is coming.
Shame about the weightloss, why isn't it allowed? Not sure how much I weigh today as I haven't had time to scratch myself but feel about the same.
hj - wow on B crawling, I don't think Olive will be far behind bu i'm kinda dreading it as it means more baby proofing.
Ok.. as u all might know about Mia's reflux/vommiting issues.. she spews about 45 times a day. Seen pead today just to get told theres not much he can do. He wants me to start her on solids asap but to forget about the pureed stuff and go more onto BLS. He also wants me to cut down her milk (which i wont be doing) and try her on Karicare HA-AR formula. So i wnt to the supermarket and got the formula, some pear juice for her (ive been told it helps with constipation), vege teething rusks, sweet pot and some pumpkin. So ill let u know how it goes...........
She also has abit of a rash on her tummy.. he said just to moisturize it but ive been doing that and its been there for 2 weeks! exema (sp) is worrying me.. could it be that? DP's brother has it really bad.. so its in the family.
HJ- WOW!!! Congrats on B crawling! That is amazing!!!
OM - haven't you had a baby???? Wisdom teeth are nothing! You don't feel the pain at the time, its just the pulling sensation, which is just a pulling sensation - nothing to be scared of. I had heaps of teeth work done a few years back - probably 8 trips all in all. Only 1 was bad coz the tooth was stuck under the bone so it took about 45 mins of pulling and shoving etc. But that's REALLY rare and I'd do it again if i had to. Just concentrate on your breathing rather than what the dentist is doing, picture yourself in a lush rainforest or something. Make sure you take plenty of pain killers until the pain's gone. You can psych yourself up to make these things worse than they are, so just relax and make the best of it.
Leigh - I did aqua aerobics. It's great whatever fitness level you're at. You have a floaty thing so its not like you get tired and have to struggle. It's fun!
Liam's doing ok. He started this screaming and squealing thing lately. Like a 2 year old trying to get attention. I've been caught up with preps for my sisters baby shower so maybe that was why. Have been concentrating on playing with him heaps since (it was saturday) and it seems to be disappearing.
And he's woken up around 12/1am the past couple nights - VERY unusual for him. I gave him a 2nd solid feed today. We'll see how that goes.
HJ - I've been reading lately its common for bubs their age to go back to waking at night. It can be that they're needing more feed, or are feeling temperature changes, or they can be going through developmental changes that seem to effect it - theory is they're excited by what they've discovered they can do and want to be awake more to try it. Given B's moving ahead so quickly i wonder if that's it?
I couldn't help myself had to pop over to mum and dad's to use their comp to say hello!
i dont want to miss out on anything/updates of all our beautiful bubs!!!!
We move tomorrow - so can't wait until its over and done with!!!
Amanda - we are moving to forest lake! and im dying to hear all the goss on ur visit with Leslie!!!
Hollye - glad we can still keep our little weight loss thing going! i only lost .1 last week - dont even think thats worth mentioning!!! im so disappointed!
i dont understand why your pead thinks cutting back on Mia's formula is going to help???
But thats a bit exciting the solids bit!!! cant wait to hear how Lil Mia goes on it all! Hopefully it helps tho - must be upsetting seeing her vomiting all the time!
1stbub - woohoo on Liam starting 2 lots of solid a day - im not sure when to start B doing that?
B finally slept thru last night - went to bed at 1945 and woke at 0600!!! thats the best sleep EVA!!!
we have been trying to get her to sleep more during the day so maybe that is what is helping her sleep of a night time - around lunch time we pretty much let her cry herself to sleep - i hate doing that but its the only way she will go down - we dont let her get too upset tho! im too soft to let her scream for too long!
but twice now we have done it and she has slept for about 1hr! so thats pretty good
OM - a 2nd tooth for Olive!!!!!! oh my gosh!
Leigh - nah unfortunally we dont have a video camera and my mobile was down in the car!! but since than i have got pics of her up on all 4's - it was soooo exciting - im just glad DH got to see it and didnt miss that milestone!
and how awesome are u doing on the weight loss! you go girl!
anyway i gotta go! talk to you all soon hopefully
Hugs and kisses to all the bubs
xoxoxo
HJ Forest Lake is a bit closer to me, I'm at Crestmead, just past Browns Plains. Yay for B starting to crawl, my first two were early crawlers which made them early walkers too, how exciting.
Hollye have joined the group and posted my weight loss of 800g, how exciting for Mia to be starting BLS, I think your right in not lowering the amount of milk she is having too, she still needs her milk.
OM congrats on Olive getting another toothy peg.
1stbub how did the second feed go?
Well I got Julian weighed yesterday and with clothes on he was 7.4kg, so he's getting bigger now, defineately in 00 clothes now. I also used some of Krudds money on myself today and got myself a BB lifetime membership, yay and I'll be getting my hair done on Thursday too. Got to go, boy awake and crying.
hi girls, sounds like everyone is doing fine. Can't believe that some of the bubbas are crawling and getting teeth. Meara is drooling everywhere so she mustn't be far off getting her teeth. She is still under 7kg but she has chubby little legs and belly so she is ok.
I have given up on the weight loss for now as there is alot of stress in our house atm. Can't concentrate on me when my eldest DD is having these problems. Will explain later.
i cant get Mia to sleep longer than 10 mins at a time today!!!!!!!! whats the go with that??????????
HJ - coz she has so much trouble with her milk, the more she has, the more she spews. but i went out and got the karicare HA-AR formula, so ill see how that goes. Its bloody expensive, i dont know how im gonna keep up with it. Last night, it cost me nearly $27 and shes lucky if a tin lasts her a week. Has B been crawling around like a mad woman??? she is just so clever! so glad she slept well lastnight, as i told ya.. the more sleep she gets during the day, the better she will sleep at night. So looks like im in for a big night..
1stbub- Thanks your right, thats exactly what i needed to hear. I know it will be much better once it's out, it's just a stressful week for me with going back to work next Monday. Glad to hear Liam is doing ok, hope his squealy thing settles down.
Olive was a bit better last night, woke at 10:30 and again at 4:20 then we got up at 6:30after some unsettled sleep but she had done a poo. I'm so tired with the waking and hope it settles down soon. Olive actually lost weight when we went to clinic today which has never happened before, she lost 200g. Not sure why, she has been a bit off but I thought she would have put on weight with starting solids, anyway she is still in the 97th percentile so we just have to keep an eye on her. She grew another 2cm in height though up to 68cm and her HC is 44.8cm.
Hollye - good luck with the solids. The vege teething rusks make Olive spew and she never spews so we have stuck with the plain ones although she doesn't like them near as much. What are you moisturising Mia's tummy with? I have heard goats milk soap is great for ezcema and stick to plain creams like sorbolene or moo goo.
Hi to everyone else, wish me luck for tomorrow.

Ok back for a bit lol. 3 out of 5 kids out with DF at soccer training.
From previous post you can tell I'm having some "issues" with my DD1. Truth is she has been drinking, stealing, lying and not sure about having sex . This is causing some major headaches as you can imagine. In the process of trying to find another school for her so she is not hanging around the same kids and one that really sticks to discipline. She is still losing weight so very frustrated about that too. Now down to 47kg and she is 175cm tall.
Missing from my ticker is the ttc#6. We have decided to either wait or not have another one at all. Just too confusing atm for the whole family.
Kim - What a stressful time you are having at the moment. Hope everything with your DD gets sorted soon. It must be very worrying for you.
Hollye - Good luck on starting Mia on solids and with the new formula. Lara spews about 45 times a day too. I have to change her clothes that many times a day plus I am always getting spewed on. She is not a baby I can bounce up and down when I play with her or anything otherwise I cop spew everywhere. Maybe I need to change Lara's formula too. I spoke to my GP about it and he wasnt too concerned because it doesnt seem to be worrying Lara and she is gainly weight nicely.
HJ - Good luck with the move tomorrow, I hate moving but it would be exciting moving into your new home.
1stBub - Water aerobics is on tomorrow morning, if I am brave enough I might go. It is from 8am -9am but I will then have to rush home to get DD1 off to Kindergarten. I am dying to give it a go though.
Gotta go, Lara is starting to cry, it is bottle o'clock for her lol.
oh my.... Mia has spewed once today!!!!!!!!!! thank goodness for this formula!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING has worked till now!!!!!! Leigh i reccomend it BIG time!!! Karicare Ha-Ar
