LOL - at least she sleeps!
she doesnt get much of a choice lol.. otherwise she turns into miss cranky pants!!!!!!!!
B is awake - my day official starts now! its full on now until 2000/2030 when she goes to bed!
I don't believe it. I thought I felt fat this week but actually lost 2kgs! i'm very happy but had to check a couple of times just to be sure.
Hollye - not sure about top teeth and when they come through. Mia is in a good routine isn't she?
hj - Olive liked her rice cereal last night but unfortunatly she did wake up. I think it was cause she was to overtired and if she doesn't go to bed before 8pm she doesn't sleep as well through the night. She woke at 1:30 then stayed up until 2:40am then woke again at 5am. I brought her into bed with me and she slept until 9 though so that was good. I think Olive must be having a growth spurt cause I noticed this morning that some of her body suits were to short.
its 12.. so mia is asleep.. yeh not sure what the go is with her teeth. She will prob be one of these kids that dont get one till like 12 months.
woooohooo on the weight loss!
wow HJ that is a massive amount of time for her to be awake!!!!!
Hollye - tell me about it - come the end of the day im exhausted - im in bed right after her!!! she only has 5-10min cat naps here and there if im lucky!
OM - what are u trying Olive on next?
Amanda - how did u go yesterday????
hj - I will probably try apple or pear next but I was thinking I might cook and puree some pumpkin to freeze for when I go back to work. I find it kind of confusing as to how much to feed Olive. I started off with a teaspoon then have slowly built it up so last night she ate about a tablespoon. Mum said to keep her on rice cereal for a couple of weeks then introduce one new food every few days and build up the amounts slowly. How much is B eating?
Maybe there is something wrong with Jorda.. she sleeps sooo much during the day and then sleeps sooo much at night time.. all night.. mm I just wish Ben was like that when he was little.
Off for a run and the gym again!
OM - we started B off on about a teaspoon also - but now she eats a tablespoon plus some!
we have also started her on potato - which she absolutly LOVES! how many times a day are u giving Olive solids?
Didi - u are soooo lucky that Jorda sleeps heaps!
Hi Girls,
Hollye - I lost 2.3 kg this week, can you add it to the list please.
I am not starting Lara on solids until 6 months but it is interesting to read what you girls are giving your bubs. Cant believe how quick our little ones are growing.
Lara sleeps approx 9pm until approx 7 am - 9am overnight and then after her first bottle she goes straight back to sleep until around lunch time, then is up for a few hrs, then has an afternoon sleep around 2:30pm for an hour or so then is up until bedtime, sometime she might have a few cat naps in between her afternoon sleep and bedtime.
She still doesnt have any teeth, I keep checking everyday but I don't think she'll get any anytime soon, DD1 got her first tooth at 7 months but once she got her 1st her others came so quickly after, lucky she never had any real problems teething.
Has anyone done water aerobics before? Is it really hard? I am interested in going. I am really unfit though and will be shame if it is a real struggle.
I get my implanon removed next Monday so I guess its back to the pill for me.
list updated...
i think i jixned myself in telling you girls Mia is a good sleeper. 1 hr at 9am.. 30 mins at 12 and 20 mins at 3.. :( *sigh*
hj - Olive is still only having one 'feed' of solids per day. I have been giving it to her at around 5:30pm. How about B?
Hollye - oh no, I hope Mia isn't going through the same stage as Olive and B.
Leigh - congrats on the weight loss. Is yours purely due to diet or have you been exercising more too?
Olive is generally a good sleeper(has had a few bad nights of late) and is so much happier after a good nights sleep. She has been down since 6:30 so am hoping she sleeps better tonight after a huge play, solids, a bath and a big feed of bm. Olive has no set times for feeds. I still just feed her when she is hungry which is generally every 3-5hrs but sometimes she just snacks. She always goes back to sleep after her first morning feed for a couple of hours though and generally doesn't go longer then 2hrs without a sleep in the day. I want to get her into a better routine but I don't see how and would rather follow her lead.
OM - I have been trying to eat healthy plus I have been dragging myself out of bed at 6:15am to go for a walk. I am not motivated at all but really need to lose this baby weight. Hope Olive has a big sleep for you tonight!!!
Hollye - awwwwww maybe you should of touched wood before u said it! hehehe
Sounds like everyone has good sleepers except me! However............. B slept thru last night from 2030-0600 woohoo - i think she wore herself out she was cutting sick in her bouncer kicking and playing with a few toys - was absolutly hilarious to watch - DH and i have never seen her do that before - we were killing ourselves laughing and the more we laughed the more she put on a show!
OM - we do the same - 1 feed a day and around 1730 also! hehehe - good to hear we are both doing the same thing!
B would of ate almost 2 tablespoons of potato last night - she loved it!!! and wanted more but nope we stopped at that!
Leigh - awesome weight loss - good on ya for getting up early and going for a walk - maybe i should do that instead of jumping on here! hmmmm
i have done water aerobics before - and it is pretty good - not too hard but not too easy - being in the water helps alot! its good if your not overlly fit!
Mis didnt sleep through *sobs* she woke at 12:30am, 3,330,430,500, 530,600 and i finally gave in at 7am.
oh i is sleeeeeeeeeeeeepy today. oh well.. could be worse.
house inspection at 11am.. that should be fun.. not..
Ok girls.. i have to say..
I HAD TEH WORST THING HAPPEN TO ME YESTERDAY
>I went for a walk last night with a girlfriend the lady i have been walking withI.. LOVE her.. so fun.. and who did i walk past my EX.. the WORST Ex i ever had.. abusive etc... bad bad relationsp.!! YUP..OH my god i thought i was going to throw up.I was chatting away looked up and he was looking right at me and walked past.
we made eye contact and we kept walking then i told Sheridan..>she looked back and he was gone.>I knew i would run into him someday.. but at least i look a hell of alot better then what he does.. Anyways i am fine now.. i have a good husband and kids! But just made me feel sick.. seeing him.. he definilty knew it was me as I was talking quite loud and well i dont have an australian accent.
God i hated that
Oh didi that sounds awful! At least he didn't talk to you but still it must have been a horrible place to go back to when you saw him. Hope you are keeping busy and not thinking about it to much, sending you a cyber hug.
I'm peaking out abit cause I am getting a wisdom tooth out next week. Hollye I know you've had yours out, tell me the truth, how bad was it? It's my last week at home before going back to work so I don't want to be totally out of it in pain or on meds but at the same time it was soooo painful when it was infected last week. I should stop thinking about it and just do it.
Olive ate lots last night and had a big sleep, from 7pm till 5am. She moved a few times and woke but went straight back to sleep. Hope all the other babies slept well last night.
We went shopping this morning to get some things she will need for daycare. I was wondering if any bottle fed bubs are feeding themselves yet? Olive is showing interest in it but doesn't yet. I got an Advent bottle which converts to a sippy cup as the one she has is to big for her so maybe she will be able to do it soon. Not that I really want her to, I like to feed her myself.
oh didi... i have an EX like that and i think i would physically vomit if i ever seen him again! hugs!
Oh i have my baby girl back! You girls have prob seen my thread around here somewhere.. I started Mia on rice cereal on sunday and if u read back i was starting to have all sorts of problems with her. So i tried 3 days, 1/2 teaspoon in the morning and she got so badly conspitated, went from pooing 3-4 times a day to 1 tiny pellet passed in 3 days! She wasnt happy, always grizzly. So i stopped solids.. and wahhh la! shes done 3 poo's already today and sleeping like a dream again. We have decided we will wait till shes 6 months to start her on solids and to hell with the rice cereal!!!
OM - oh man it hurt. The numb it.. get these big plyers and rip it out. IWhen they are doing that it doesnt hurt as such but the side of your mouth hurts coz you have to open so wide coz its right at the back. It bled for a while but i think it only took about 2-3 days before i was feeling better. I need to have my other taken out but i cancelled!!!!!! lol. that side of my mouth is SOOOO much better tho. It is worth having it done.
Om.. i had mine out as well.. are they there or under the gums??
didi - It goes up and down but there isn't enough room in my mouth for it to come up fully so when it gets infected my mouth gets really swollen and very sore as all my teeth are impacted. How was yours?
OM - i had all 4 of mine out at the same time! i went under to get them out and i will be honest with u it was not at all nice! however DH had the same done and he was fine!!!
I Hope all goes well with yours!
Didi - wow i also know what that is like - my ex was highly abusive, physically and verbally - it has been awhile since i have seen him thank god - but i remember the last time i ran into him all too clearly! so big hugs to you!
Good thing u look better than him tho! hehehe
Hollye - glad u got ur little girl back!!!
Hi Girls,
OM - I had all 4 of mine ripped out at the same time too. I wasnt put to sleep though. I was given 8 local anesthetic needles to numb my mouth. Like Hollye said you can't feel pain while they do it but it is hard trying to keep your mouth open wide for so long. Your problem sounds like mine was. He had to chisel out my teeth and some he couldnt pull the whole tooth out at once so he had to break them. Sounds worse than what it is, I didnt feel pain. However the pain killers he gave me for the next few days were good, I have never slept so well in my life. DD1 was 4 1/2 months when I got them done so DH looked after her mostly for the next 2 days. I had mine done on a Saturday and by Monday I was feeling pretty normal, not too sore. Hope I havent scared you!!! Its not that bad! Hope you enjoy your last week off work.
Didi - You poor thing running into your ex like that. God I hope I never run into my ex's.
My birthday is on the 29th of this month and DH came home before and he'd bought my bday present. I got it early but I am so excited coz he got me a nintendo wii plus the wii fit to go with it. I can't wait to use it. I know some of you girls have the wii fit, is it hard? I am pretty unfit but hopefully the wii fit will sort that out.
Went for lunch with a friend today, totally blew my diet, must get back on track tomorrow.
Better go.
oh i forgot to add.. Mia was 10 days old when i got mine done.. so that was fun.. all the pain from the c/sec too so i dont think they pain was too bad after it coz i was still on really strong pain killers from that.
Leigh - you are sooooo lucky! I WANT A WII FIT!!! but DH keeps saying NO!
Im totally buggered this morning! EVERY 2nd hour Bianca Jane woke up last night! im NOT impressed!
Im going shopping at DFO today and if she thinks she is getting anything she has another thing comming! lol
i want one tooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HJ - that sucks!!!! do you know why she kept waking???
Mia had a great night lastnight (sorry HJ) she went to sleep at 7:30pm lastnight and i gave her a bottle about 11pm and woke me up at 7am this morning. Quite pleased.. :)
No idea!!! maybe just being a typical difficult female? i wish i knew! she is horrible today also!
I love my Wii fit, it's fun but you defineately fell the benifits of it as well.
HJ have fun at the DFO today, do you have msn? Leslie was great, will either talk on msn or PM you about it.
BBL
hugs xoxo
Mayb i can get Mia to buy me one for mothers day??? thats not too far away!!
hj - That sucks:( maybe you could ring Karatani and get some advice.
Do you give her a bottle each time she wakes? Have you swiched formula or done anything different? It just seems odd that she is FF and on solids and still not sleeping through. I have heard that babies who don't sleep through the day are less likely to sleep through the night so maybe thats it. She could be getting over tired/stimulated and it's causing her not to sleep. Maybe you could concider taking her to an osteopath or a chiro who specialise in kids and just make sure there is nothing out of whack with her little body. Good luck and happy shopping today.
Thanks for the teeth stories girls, I am offcially scared s**tless. I'm not even sure I can go though as DH is to scared to ask to get off work early as there is someone else away and I can't drive myself as it's about a 2hr drive. Gee what a pity.
Thanks girls.. i am feeling better now... he was just a bad bad boyfriend!
Hollye can you update my weight loss to another -2kg last week!!!
Have a good weekend all!
Amanda - i have sent you a PM - i have been dying to hear how monday went!
Hollye - hmmm thats a great idea! i think we deserve something like that for our first mothers day! hehehe
OM - We havent done anything different at all with Bianca - could it be maybe the fact that she is on solids now? and i have no idea what to do to get her to sleep during the day! she just wont! But i think that has alot to do with it! if only i could get her to sleep during the day!
Oh and dont be too scared about getting your wisdom teeth out - the pain is only brief but would be different and for longer if you don't get them out! so be brave and do it! we all have so you can too!!!!
OM teeth were not that bad.. Make sure you keep taking pain meds.. even when you have no pain.. and whne the pain comes back.. ITS BAD BAD BAD!
Whats everyone up too this weekend?
Didi - we are packing this weekend - we move into our new house on wednesday! oh and im getting my hair done on sat - have a wedding the week after and im a bridesmaid in a wedding the next week after! oh and we are voting this weekend! thrills! what are u up too?
hj sounds busy!! Good for you! love busy!! is this your first house you have bought.. very very exciting!
Didi - i love busy too - but i hate packing!
This is our second house we have brought and its all thanks to Bianca! hehehe we were happy in our house but after having her we decided we needed a much bigger one! so we are going from our little 3 bedroom 2 carport to a 4 bedroom double lock up garage and a inground swimming pool! im soooo looking forward to it!
And this new house is a open house so Bianca can see me if im in the kitchen etc where with this house she cant!
Hows your weekend going? i have packed another 2 boxes so far! hehehe i hate packing!
Hi Girls,
I am exhausted, I've been shopping all day as my mum is up for the weekend. It was fun though and I spent way too much money than I should have. Lara was an angel the whole day thank god.
Havent tried my wii out yet. We havent set it up. DH wont do it until my birthday which is Sun 29th. I am going to break my diet tonight though coz I am having pizza for tea.
HJ - Hope B sleeps well for you tonight, man you must be getting so tired. How exciting moving into your new house, wish I was moving into a bigger place. We live in a 2 bedroom unit that my inlaws own. It is far too small for us now but DH refuses to move coz they only charge us $100 wk rent. I said once Lara goes into a bed we are out of here coz we wont fit 2 beds in the girl's room.
OM - Dont be too scared about your teeth, you feel so much better once they're out.
Gotta go, hi to everyone I missed. Have a great weekend.
Happy 5 months to my gorgeous little girl! I cant believe how fast you are growing up!!
list deleted.
Hey all just a very quick one - i may be MIA for a little while - cause we move on the 25th and wont have new phone line hooked up until the 30th!
So try not to miss me too much! and i will try not to miss you all too much also!
