tanya- i have an appointment on thurs too! didnt really want to get out of the hse this week but wanted to get 4mth check over & done with

[Moi]

amy - OK maybe the ribs sticking out is just a growth thing then. That's what I think it is.. but can't help worrying a little bit. The good thing is that the MCHN said I could cancel any time before hand if I decide it's OK! But it's nice knowing I have an appointment to go get her checked out in case it's still worrying me.

teru - I know.. I don't really want to go out in the heat on Thursday. I'll see if I feel like she needs to be checked or not?!

My mums and bubs yoga was cancelled today due to heat. So I have to wait till next week to see what it's like! I have an osteo appointment this evening though. It'll be nice to be in air con for a bit.

OK.. think I might get an ice cream!!

yeh Mia is all ribby too!


oh my... if i could fit, i would be sitting in the frezzer right now..

[Moi]

I've thought about trying to get inside the fridge. haha..

Hmm.. OK maybe ribs are one of the first things to grow?!

I got Maya into bed by 9pm!! Normally I can't get her into bed before 10pm-ish! Had to resettle once.. now hoping she'll stay down.

[belfie]

Tanya - hope she stays down, I'm sending good vibes!

Well X has decided today is the day to roll. And roll and roll and roll and ROLL! But he only rolls from his back on his right to his front. Then howls in frustration cos he's on his front. He got his leg stuck through his cot bars earlier (cos I'd put him in without a sleeping bag cos it's so hot here... not doin' that again!). And now I've just tried to settle him with no success cos he keeps rolling lol!

So he's sitting on my lap thumping the desk as I write this! Any good suggestions for settling a roller?

oh my... if i could fit, i would be sitting in the frezzer right now..

And good luck with the weights for the ribby ones. I reckon some kids are just built lighter and some heavier. I think X's ribs are AWOL - he's got the opposite problem, I'm wondering if the MHCN tomorrow is gonna tell me he's too fat! Plus he's on a HUGE hunger bust atm... we've fed SEVEN times today.. compared to our usual FOUR . Eeeek! 'm puttin' him on rations!!!!

EDIT: fixed my roller with a tight sheet!

TERU - is next year tiger? I had to cease BF 100% to get af back when trying for ethan, Even cutting down and solids didnt bring it back.

Hollye - are you ok? (saw your FB comment).

Well rolling isnt happening here just - he is trying though.

And also waking up all night again. monday night he woke 12,2,4, 5 6 annd last night 3,5 and is still awake.

oh well what can you do

[teruteru]

post office again, hopefully 3rd time lucky...

[1MOREPLZ]

well....
one little toothy peg has popped through the tiniest bit...and you can definatly feel 2 in there
Jack is waking at aroun 5 in the morning again....so i reach over (in the dark fumbling round trying to find a dummy) give dummy back to him and put my hand on his belly..and off he goes back to sleep...he didn't do a houdinin on me last night..his arms were contained first time in ages!!!!!although after his 6am feed he just would NOT settle like he usually does until i set his arms free...
he can now quite happily (laughs after he does it when you look at him) blow lurvly 'spit raspberries'
he is also trying very hard to roll from his back to his tummy BUT isn't quite there yet....

i have also started him on 2/3 teaspoons of farex made with water and added a tiny bit of apple to it....ate the whole lot with gusto... and then he sleeps after this like a trooper..3/4 hrs in the morning!!!!

belfie - I think having a cuddly baby sounds nice. Maya still has some fat on her but she's definitely not the big baby I thought she'd end up being!

Well.. last night Maya went to sleep at 9pm then woke at 11pm. But DH managed to resettle her and then she slept till 4.30am. And after putting her back down she slept till 9.30am. So I slept in too.

And today I've decided to try the trip to my mother's house again. I am very nervous about Maya screaming in the car again but I've done the trip before and she was fine. It was only the last time she screamed the whole way back. So I'll see how I go. If she screams again I may never try the trip again. But I think this time I'll pull over and see if I can resettle her if she cries. And if she starts crying soon after I leave the house I might turn around and come back home.

Hope everyone is keeping cool!

Yeah it was a hard decision for us Rhoda.
DD was 7 months and we wanted 2 children close together.
So i had to make the choice of either continuing to bf or weaning 100% (as droppin feeds didnt work).
So we weaned and then got preg with E. We are happy we planned our children the way we did after all.
you have a year to fall pregnant though remember to make it in the year

Oh i saw on the TV that it is great to have a dragon baby! woohoo ... did you plan that as well?

Anyhow - DD is at FDC and i am going to lay in bed all day today, My parents have been here the past 4 days and i am exhausted playing host. E is in his cradle a -rockin lol so i am just going to veg

Hope everyone is ok *mwah*

Hi All,

Sorry havent been around for a while, with the school holidays and DH being home on holidays I didnt get much time to do much for myself IYKWIM. Anyway 2 darling kids off to school today just 2 to go. hehehe.
Well Olivia is doing really well, still little but she is getting there. Just over two weeks ago she weighed 3.390kgs hc 37cm and length was 53cms. She is so very petite. I still get asked how many days old is she, or how many weeks is she? My BF little man that was born just under 6weeks after Olivia was born is already bigger than her, yet I must admit her has always been bigger than her. She is also sleeping between 10 to 10 1/2hrs a night. She just loves her sleep. Her next appt for the pead wont be until early march. I still have her u/s to do which is on the 12th of Feb. Fingers crossed all will be fine with that.

Georgi - Hi hun, how is everything going? Give little BJ a hug for me. hugs

Hollye - Happy belated b'day tagain hun.

Sorry lovlies, have to attend to Olivia...... bbl...

Now no doubt I have missed so much and have missed someone as well, so my appologiesm it really isnt intentional. I hope you are all doing well, and I am going to try my best to keep up to date real soon. hugs

pp- dragon isnt really born in yr of dragon, he was born in yr of rat. but we'll prob have 1in yr of dragon too (2012). i know we hv a whole yr to try, but dp wants the 2 kids to b only 1 yr apart in school so need to find out the deadline for the youngest enrolment in vic. which feed did u drop? i heard it the 1-4am ones...we'll try that 1st, if not, then we'll hav to wean
tanya- hope the car ride wasnt so bad

hope every1 else is keeping cool somehow
