Babies Born October 16th ~ 31st 2009

Jellybean - heheh yep we are a third time round here for smiles etc.. Though i think she is taking after my son, cause seriously she already is a good little chatter :lol:

Fi - Oh i love the pic :clap: I can't wait to take santa pics this yr

Rach - :dance: Yay on Luke smiling. Its so special when they give you that grin,it melts your heart!!

Stevie - Thanks hun. Damm i don't think we have somewhere like that, might ask a few of the girls from mummys group, they might know.

Well of to the central coast today for a bit of shopping. Another hot day here, so best inside in air conditiong i say ;)

Its a little quiet in here, hope everyone is doing ok :)

Turns out my bfing was an epic fail. i thought i had it but it turns out i dont, it seems like i am never going to be able to bf properly. i feel like such a failure. its depressing lol.
So as of this weekend i will be weening miss alissa onto formula, and seeing how that goes, mabe if i can feed her on that as well and give my boobs a bit of a rest, i might be feel a little more sane.
Going to see new moon again with MIL tomorrow, im addicted i cant wait til the next one. im thinking i might read the books again, but i really dont have the time and when i read a book, im terrible i cant put it down, DH hates it when i get into a book coz he cant talk to me lol.
anyway i hope everyone is well, and all you ladies suffering from the heat like me, i hope your bubs arent too hot and sticky.

Stevie - :hug: hun please don't feel like a failure. I have to give Evangeline a bottle of formula around that 6pm feed to sweety. Seems my flow is not fast enough for her then :wall: Though there have been some days where she has had more then 1 formula feed. So i am BF her and FF, iykwim. The way i see it as long they are healthy and content, then im happy.
hehehe speaking of twiglight, my DH has actually starting reading the books :lol: He wanted to see what the big fuss is about.

Hope everyone else is going good. My friend just had her little boy on sunday morning. well he's little 9pd 12oz, his feet are already bigger then Evangeline's :clap: But im so proud of her, she did it drug free, like she had wanted.

hi ladies I have been MIA sorry!
LJ William is perfect I love all he pics you put up on FB!
Stevie hun :hug: in no way did you fail, you BF A for as long as you could! :hug:
JB I saw New moon wiht Flynn, I was dying to see it I am such a hardcore fan and to wait a week was awful lol! I loved it! And FLynn was so good :)
Sorry I forget what else I wanted to say!

Not much happening here, FLynn was 5.28kgs at the last Mchn visit on wednesday he is sucha porker compared to Myles...feeds well but sometimes only has one side so I walk around wiht one little boob and one massive one hahaha! Myles tries to feed Flynn all the time when he is running around nudey lol. We are getting lots of sleep which is amazing but we are co sleeping from the start which has made the big difference!..dont mean to rub it in sorry ...but I do go to sleep when the boys do at 6:30 lol!

anyway must get M ready for swimming.

love to you all xxx

stevie :hug: the most important thing is not b/f but a happy muma cause that will make for a happy bubba, like me we gave the bubs a good head start FF is not a bad thing

sound slike we are all doing reasonably well

AFM we had lukes Paed check up yesterday he is 5250grm :o 56.5cm long and HC is 39.5cm she said thats about the 75 % for everything so beautfully proportioned

his little teste has dropped as well so :pray: it stays down so he doesn't require surgery in a year but she said the fact its down is a very good thing :)

my OB appoint went well, he agrees with GP about seeing a heart dr for fluid retention but aside from that all looks great I am free to drive again :dance: so hopefully I will get a chance to drive the new car if Jase lets me :lol:

my other little man saw a paed surgeon and has to have a circumsision :( but OMG he is booked in for thur week he could have gone in mon but jase is on shut down at work and the say the hosp systems are over run:o

boomba- Love your avvy! Co sleepers here too! Then early in the morning she pops into her own bed. Flynn sounds like he's doing great! Nice about the boobies haha I know the feeling.

LJ-Your pics on fb are beautiful! And your pics and skyes pics made me get my bum into gear and get some up of Lucy.

Stevie- You have not failed! Bf can be tricky at the best of tmes ;) You did everything you could and tried your hardest. I believe we should bf BUT only if we can. Your princess doesn't want to see her mummy in agony everytime she has a feed. Its surposed to be a bonding time (feeding your baby) weather it be FF or Bf :) So the sooner you can have relaxed FF feeds with her the better. And just remember you tried your hardest. There's always next bubs to bf ;):lol:

rach2281- What state do you live in? Holy moly your friend had a big boy!!

Rach75- Glad tests have dropped. I think I missed why circumsision is taking place?? Is Jack done too? I dont know what happenes with boys.

Ok ladies all is well here :) My girls are beautiful and more then I could have ever dremt of :)
I have put lots of pics up of them on Fb so have a looksie! They weren't alike at birth but are VERY much alike now! They have there mummies eyes and the same nose. Otehr then that mouth, ears and chin seem to be different.
Personality wise, both mamas girls. Annabelle has always been wise beyond her yrs, says very strange things that confirm she's an old soul ;) I think Lucy will be our joker, layed back heartbreaker!!!
Anyone got any tips on how to deal with not having dad around my girls??? Its truly getting to me, in a bad way :(

Kass its Jack that has to be done :( his foreskin is very tight can't be retracted at all and sometimes when he pees, his little penis balloons up and he can't control where the pee goes :( so to avoid problems in the future and infections he has to have one, the surgeon said it is wuite bad and the alternative of steroid creams wont work :( we are hoping luke wont be the same when heis older

Aw no! thats horrible! You wont do Luck just incase?

Kass both the surgeon and Lukes paed said to not worry bout him for now but when he goes to be TT we will know if he needs doing

JB I finally read that poem and it is beautiful!! Not sad like I thought it would be after everyone said they had tears in their eyes. Just beautiful and so true, I love the quiet night feeds where me and Leila enjoy a special bonding experience :D

Rach221 glad you like Leila's Santa photo! I love you little picture too. I notice everyone has pictures on FB but unfortunately I'm perhaps the only person in the world that isn't on FB!! I just don't think I would have the time to keep it updated which is why I haven't bothered.

Rach75 hope little Jack is ok and that his little procedure goes well :crossfingers:

Stevie, don't stress about having to FF. I'm amazed that you managed to continue BF for so long with all the trouble you have had, you've done a brilliant job :clap: you might even find that by giving a couple of FF you will give your poor bb's a chance to heal and may be able to combine BF with FF. Either way it really doesn't matter as we can all see how much you adore your little girl and I think as long as they are loved it really doesn't matter if they are BF or FF.

Boomba - great to see you back in here and great news about Flynn being such a porker! :lol:

Dedicated Mummy what do you mean about not having dad around? Is he workimg too much or just not spending quality time with the girls? I worry that my DH isn't spending enough time with Leila but when I suggest he interact with her or put her to bed or whatever he gets really sensitive and says I'm making out that he is a bad father! If I don't suggest he do stuff with her then usually he doesn't so what do I do? :wall: Men!

AFM not much to report, all going well. Am waiting to hear back from MCHN as I wanted to take Leila in today to get weighed - my local one is only open on Tuesday which is a pain so if I can't go in today I'll have to wait until next week. Oh well, from what I can tell Leila is growing well and is certainly a happy little baby so I'm not worried about anything, would just be nice to be reasurred with a weight check.

have a great day everyone ;)

My dad ;) Passed away in Feb :(
I used to worry that Clint wasn't spending enough time with Annabelle when she was 1st born. I found the older she got the more he got involved! I would get him to have baths with her etc, built there bond really well!
Now he just adores spending time with his girls at any age. Let your Dp do things without giving him 'advice' unless he asked. I had to learn to let Clint do things his way with the girls and come to me and ask if he really wasn't sure. I found this helped him bond even more as he didn't feel like a student and me the teacher ;)

Rach75- Fair enough. I always said I wouldn't get my sons done unless it 'needed' to be done. Poor bubba must be heartbreaking seeing go through it!

DM I'm so sorry for the loss of your father :comfort: and sorry for misinterpreting your post :redface: I know it's not the same but my dad lives interstate and suffers from terrible depression at times. Unfortunately he is not well with his depression at the moment and has yet to see his new grand daughter, my mum has been to visit me twice but unfortunately dad has no interest at the moment which is very disappointing. Like I said, no where near the same thing but I do still worry about Leila not having her grandfather around.

Thanks for the advice about DH. It is so hard to say things without sounding like you are telling them what to do but I think you are right, I should just leave DH to it and let him figure things out for himself or come to me for advice if he needs it.

Just quickly - It's 3:21am and I've spent the last 2 hours writing up my birth story - DS and I have our 6wk check ups today so I'm off to bed now he's fallen asleep
