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
Hollye I think I will give it a go. I constantly have to walk around with a spew cloth wherever we go coz she is a big spewer. It can be 4 hrs since her last bottle and Lara will still be spewing. Everytime I put her in her car seat she spews without fail. What formula was Mia on before the Karicare? I've had Lara on Heinz, s26 made her constipated.
Ive tried.... Karicare GOLD, Heinz, s26 Reflux, s26 LI, s26, NAN and she was shocken on all these. Check out my threads in the boohoo room!!!!! lol
Before this one she was on s26. Oh my.. we have gone through 2 bibs today and that was just from dribble!
This formula is hard to find and a little pricey coz its so good. Make sure u get the HA-AR one, not just the AR one. Im looking around to try and buy it in bulk so ill let u know.
Doesnt suprise me she is spewing on Heinz, its quite watery..
First JORDA IS 6 months today and did her first poop on the toilet.. ya ya ya.. I had ben potty trained at abot 14 months so this is going to be much easier. When you feed them they poop, so little potty feed them soilds while they sit on there... so easy!!
Second.. i think i am going to uni next year fro midwifery! i am so excited!!
Third.. weight in tomorrow i cant wait!! i think another 1-2 kg.. i am sooo motivated!!
happy 6 months Jorda!!!!! wow u are potty training already. I wouldnt be able to get Mia to sit still!
Well Mia started on her solids today, she had some pumpkin for lunch and she loved it. Got it all over herself but atleast she had fun. She has spewed 3 times today which is great. 1 big one this morning and 2 dribble ones.
Raining here today and both me and Mia have colds. So thats prob adding to the spewing coz of the phlem. We had a really rough night lastnight, i dont really remember sleeping at all.
My house needs cleaning but i just have no energy......
Well the dentist was much better then I though and the dentist thought and I walked away with moderate pain and minimal cost (still $190 but was quoted $350). I mean it's still not nice but I think cause I was so sure it would be really painful it was better then I imagined.
But then i've had a very hectic night since. First as I have said Olive has been a little off and wasn't very keen on her porriage so I tried her with some pear which she loved. Soon after though she got a rash all over her face. I gave her a bath and it settled down and she was happily playing then spewed. DH and I both noticed that her voice sounded croaky and I decided to take her temp. That was fine but when I took off her bodysuit she has a rash on her tummy and back. I rang the hospital and they said to come in and after examining her the dr said he thinks that she has viral croup and that she will probably get a barking cough etc. He also said that she her fontonell(sp) is a bit sunken so to really push the milk. God it's so worrying, I hope she will be ok.
Happy 6mths Jorda, such a milestone. Didi you sound really happy, good on you.
****! i decided not to weigh myself this week coz i havent reaally been trying. But just then i though.. hay why not.. i lost 1.8 kilos this week!!!! yaahhooo!!!!
OM - glad the dentist went well. Ide say she may have had abit of a reaction to the pear. Leave it for a week and try and give it again. All babies fontanelles are abit sunken, but i dont think it will be anything to worry about. Viral Croup DOESNT give babies a rash. Has she had abit of a cold? Croup stems from a virus she has already had.. such as cold flu etc. I know that when bubs do have croup its important you keep a very close eye on them such as sleeping beside them etc. Any sign of it getting worse, u need to call the hospital. So in your opinion as a mother...do u think she has croup? Mayb he thought her rash was measles (this can be linked to croup) but im sure if he thought that he wouldnt have sent u home. usually the symptoms of croup start to clear within 3-7 days. The worst day is meant to be day 2. HTH xox
Hollye - Are you sure it's the formula and not something Mia ate that's making her spew?If she is having lots of different foods could it be that upsetting her tum?
I'm not really sure about the croup but I know it's not just a reaction to pear. Olive hasn't been feeding properly, is really husky and tight in the chest but has had no runny nose. The rash has faded today but she still has the other symptoms. I'm hoping she isn't ashmatic as DH was as a baby. Anyway will see how she is tomorrow and how much she is drinking.
We tried sweet potato tonight which Olive wasn't that fussed on but will try again tomorrow night. How did Mia go with the toast?
Congrats on the weight loss
