Babies Born October 16th ~ 31st 2008 #4

csab - ofcourse i have changed the teats. 5 different ones actually.

Long story short. Test results back, all look good. No LI. Havent had her tested for a milk allergy but i dont think there will be one. Since starting on solids i have noticed she doesnt only throw up milk but all her solids too. Toast, pumpkin, avacado.. anything that goes in her mouth comes back up. So now i have another refferal to see a pead in Shepparton and doc wants me to ring Royal Melb Childrens Hospital and see what they say.

Apart from that all good, still looking for a house, this one bedroom stuff is annoying me big time, to put it nicley.

Off to have a smoke b4 this girl wakes up..

take care ladies xoxoxo

oh leigh.. what mg are u on? i was on 10 and the doc has just bumped it up to 15.

Hi Girls,

Hollye - I am on 10mg and have a 2month supply so I dont go back to the dr til after that. I was only on 10mg last time aswell but I dont seem to be losing the weight as quick this time even though I am exercising and all.

HJ - Good to hear from you. Glad you are settling into your new house. Lucky B getting to go for a swim all the time.

OM - It is hard going back to work when you have a baby. Hope everything gets easier for you soon. Sorry to hear about your parents house getting flooded!

csab - I always say poo poo to Lara as well, hmmm maybe I really should start thinking about what I say to her. I am hoping her first word will be mama coz DD1's was dada.

I've been sick with a cold and a really sore throat, wish it would bugger off. I haven't tried my wii fit yet but having been playing the wii sports, it is so much fun. You even get a bit of exercise running around the room doing that.

Gotta go, hi to everyone I have missed

Hey hope everyone has a nice weekend..

Anything excited planned?

didi - 21st bday party tomorrow.. woot woot. Just out for tea. Having Mia ill be home by 8pm lol. so sad.

Leigh are you on Reductil???
How is it?
what is it?
Side effect?
anything else.
my sis wants to go on it.

yeh didi im on it too. It cost about $100 for a months supply. The only side effect i have got it excessive sweating. Its meant to reduce the amount of food u want and help get u fuller quicker, is my understanding.

ANother long story short (you will see my thread on BB if you want to read into it) Mia is off the the Royal Childrens Hospital on Tuesday.

Hollye - where abouts is that thread? Hope it's nothing to bad, will be thinking of you.

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend. I have had a pretty quiet one as DH had to work and took my car as his blinkers aren't working after it got flooded the other day but at least it goes. I worked yesterday which went alot better, Olive was happy and so was DH when I got home so feel alot better after that. I missed 3 days due to the floods so it was a pretty easy week after a horrible first day.
Olive seems to be allergic to apple and pear so that sucks. Hopefully she isn't allergic to to many other things. I gave her some pumpkin at lunch time today which she loved and this was the first time she has had a second serve of food in a day. I have cooked up a stack of organic vegies and freezed them in food trays to make it easy for when I go back to work and I think i'll continue just giving her her organic baby porridge of a night time as she loves that. She also has organic spelt rusks which she likes to munch on while I have breakfast. The Heinz ones made her spew and also have dairy which I have eliminated.
Olive is also getting a third tooth up the top by the looks of things and she bit my boob for the first time the other day and it hurt with her 2 little sharp teeth.
Anyway enjoy the rest of your weekends:)

Hi Girls, hope you all had a great weekend.

Didi - Yep I am on reductil, pretty much what Hollye said about it sums it up. I was on it a few years ago and it worked wonders with the weight loss. This time I am struggling a bit more to lose the weight but think that is because I don't have as much time up my sleeve to exercise as much. The only side effect I have as well is the sweating (didnt have that the first time I was on it) but my sweating has subsided a bit in the last few wks. I pay $80 a month for mine. When I was on it years ago I used to pay $130 a month so it has gotten cheaper.

Hollye - How come the dr put you up to 15mg? Is it coz you werent losing as much weight as you would have liked to lose? Maybe I need to go on the 15mg as well. Hope Mia is ok, I will read your other thread shortly!

OM - Ouch, bet it hurt when Olive bit your boob. Wow almost 3 teeth, Lara still doesnt have any. DD1 never got her first until 7 months. Bummer about Olive being allergic to apple and pear. I haven't started Lara on solids yet so not sure if she is allergic to anything. Hope you're enjoying work!

We had a few drinks on Friday night (about 4 -5, I wasn't drunk or anything ) but on Saturday morning I woke up feeling hungover. I felt like crap all day and DH had to work 12hrs, it was a nightmare. Must be coz I havent really had much to drink since before I fell preg with Lara.

Gotta go, hi to everyone

Leigh - Doc wasnt happy with the ammount i lost, so he bumped it up.

Has the amount or weight you lost since you've been on the 15mg a lot more? I really think I need the 15mg too

not on it yet, still have 2 tablets left of the 10mg. But ill let u know.

How much in what period of time you have been on it?

Also.. i went for a walk tonight.. and saw a guy under a lamp post getting off... it was awful.. a friend of mine and i saw it.. MAKES ME SO SICK.. awful people out there

Didi - Ew! How gross. There's been several of those around here on the beaches where the backpackers go. Pretty awful.

Leigh - isn't that weird how drink effects so much now.

Olive - How are your parents doing after the floods? Does it take long for insurance to kick in? How are you feeling being back at work? (even though its only been 2 days so far). Obviously you're feeling better about the decision with Olive being more settled the 2nd day, but while you're at work how does it feel?

Well sorry its been so long since ive been on again. just had the in-laws over for an extended weekend - 4 extra adults squashed into our very small house. It had me getting the house ready for 1 1/2 weeks prior to their arrival, happily gaving up our room and my sewing/scrapping room, we borrowed a camper for the 15 year old nephew while DH and i squeezed into Liam's room on the floor. And of course while they were here I was constantly on the go with looking after them and all the usual work involved with a baby. Well, it all was going pretty well I thought, until the last night when my usually bubbly SIL was talking to us and told us quite bluntly that they were leaving ASAP the next morning (meaning they'd be waiting @ the Sunny Coast for HOURS) because they felt so unwelcome. !!!!!!! WTF??????? !!!!!!! We're not the most natural entertainers, but not welcome???? Well, she was being a bit dramatic and I went off to bed before i said or did something i might regret. Poor DH then had to deal with the blow up (a smaller one than if i'd stayed up!). The excuse the next day was she's just recently gone back on the pill and has been really hormonal. So the whole time she's been taking all sorts of things completely the wrong way. Still, poor DH has been wanting them to come and see our new life up here for 3 years (while my parent are up 3 or 4 times a year) and had FINALLY got them up and it left a pretty bad taste in our mouths.

Oh, also, last Thursday when DH went down to the Sunny Coast to pick them up, he ended up almost blowing the motor and its still down there, going to cost $3500 to fix. Goodbye stimulus package plus plus plus.... :(

On other news Liam is soooo active ATM. He's finally rolling front to back and back to front, and you turn away for a second and when you look back he's completely changed position and direction on the floor. He's not far from crawling. He gets himself up on his knees, then pushes up even further and gets up on his toes! Like a plank in yoga, and holds it for a fair amount of time. And he's sitting up sooo well and even keeps his balance while moving around and reaching for things. Look out world, Liam will be on the move soon.

I'm off to see my new nephew today - with everything else i haven't been able to see him since he was just 1 day old.

Hollye how did Mia's appointment go? I hope all went well, big :hug:

1stbub yay for getting to see your nephew again, I can't wait until my brother and SIL have kids, it's going to be so great to be an aunty. Pfft to your SIL how rude was she.

Well it was good having mum down but she was only here for a while and it was way too short, hopefully it won't be long before I get to see her again.

Julian is having a bit of a problem with his teeth I do believe, he's waking two or three times a night which he never does and won't go back to sleep with out boobie and the newest thing today is fighting all his sleeps so far he's only had one sleep today and I'm trying to get him to have a small nap before his dinner feed, I must admit I have no idea what is up. I can feel a lump where his bottom teeth are so hopefully it's just that and once they are through he will go back to sleeping as I'm soooo not use to getting up at night, lol.

Woohooo, look at my avvy, yay, I wish I was that hot.

hugs xoxo

Hi everyone,

Hollye - I hope today went well, I still didn't get to read your other post to see what it's all about but am hoping all is good for you and Mia.

1stbub - good to hear from you. God all the relo's visiting sounds stressful, glad to hear Liam is good though. Olive is almost crawling as well.
The insurance assessor visited my parents yesterday and was really good. They can start getting quotes right away so hopefully it won't be too long before they are back to semi-normality.

Work has been delayed again as Olive is sick again. She has had diarhhoea(sp) for 72hrs and hasn't been feeding properly. She has also had high temps so have had her to the doctors and then up the hospital this morning. It's so stressful, I went to work yesterday arvo but when I got home DH was beside himself as Olive has been screaming so I stayed home today and we both looked after her. The hospital said that she is a bit dehydrated but not enough to need any intervention thank goodness and just to try and keep the fliuds up. She has just been biting the teats alot though and there is no easy way to get fluids into a baby that doesn't want to drink. The poor darling also has the worst nappy rash from all the diarhhoea. They took a sample but that won't be back for a couple of days so was probably pointless. Really hope she is on the mend.

Oh OM! What a stressful time you've had lately! Poor little Olive. I hope she gets back soon. :hug: to both of you.

Nephew was sleeping the whole time i was there so i hardly got to see him - sounds familiar, im sure Liam did that to my sister when he was that young too. Was good to see my sister tho. She's doing a great job.

AJ - Liam is suddenly becoming a bad sleeper too. Wakes most nights and can be hard to get back to sleep. I tried control crying today. :( Took him 30 mins to get to sleep then he woke up after only 30 mins and cried so hard again and was hard to console. DH settled him while i got to feel like the bad mummy. I've always been pro-control crying in theory but i'm not sure its the right thing for Liam. Or else i'm doing it wrong or just expecting more than i should at this stage (not expecting perfect happiness but the continued stress in him was not expected). Just really confused about how to get from where we are to him happily going off to sleep in his cot.

Going to bed to get some sleep before Liam's next waking. MG tomorrow - YAY!!!! :D

1stbub - can I suggest that you ring Karatani or tressilion in regards to sleep. They can advise you on how to go about control crying. I personally don't believe in it but I think that if you are going to do it it may be good to get some advice from professionals. There is also a book called 'No Cry Sleep Solutions', not sure who it's by but i'm sure if you google it you will find out. This is what some of the mums from my mothers group and aba recommend.

Om you poor lady!! Hang in there!!!
