csab - It sounds like Maya and V are very similar in their weight gains and eating habits! I hope you get some answers about V's size.
Georgi - Maya doesn't take a bottle well either, but I can only express a few mls after a feed so I've put pouring it into her mouth, rather than using a teat. A lot of it ends up on her top, but she will drink some of it.
We're back from Maya's vaccinations. Poor girl screamed when the needles went in. She then had a bit of a feed and calmed right down. Then she stopped eating cos there was too much to look at. We came home and she had a better feed. So thankfully she's had two good feeds so far today!
I'm thinking I might still go to my mother's group this afternoon.
well....
i finally pulled my ifnger out..and did the groceries yay!!!!
fed jack at 10am..let him have abit of a play whilst i wrote said shopping list... then shoved a nappy/wipes and spare outfit (for jack) into my handbag and off to shopping.... little man decided he would stay awake the WHOLE time.... then just at the end when i was getting fruit/veg he decided he was over shopping..so thought he would start grizzling... so i stood with the pineapples & cocnuts put wrap over him lightly and stood there rocking him off to sleep...must say i got afew stares... took him all of 2/3 mins to knod off....slept all the way home put him down he woke twice i resettled and heis still sleeping
amy..hugs hun!!! i hope you feel abit better after a well deserved rest!!!
Amy_o - meant to say earlier, I'm so glad you're still in BB, we'd miss you!
Cheryl - it's so nice having you back around, and sending good luck vibes for V's weight.
Georgi - have fun today, and great on the the feed
Tanya - sounds like the vaccination went well, hope she has good one & you make it to MG.
Katones - I shouldn't but I did laugh at your post re arms. Don't you hate it when you realise in retrospect that you shoulda done something different? Anyways, hope you can catch up on some sleep... and I imagine Jack will never be allowed to have arms out again!!
Teruteru - good luck with the bumbo, love to hear how it goes. I'll send you "book" vibes too I feel for you having to study, I'd hate to be doing that now, so you have my sympathy.
My little man has been super grizzly the last few days. I have no idea why... but it's pretty humid here now, plus we had a fabbo thunderstorm this morning. My legs looked black and hairy, the dog was sticking so close to me (no, my legs aren't actually black & hairy!). Actually I do have one idea... we just got a bookcase for X's room (finally somewhere to put books & toys).. and so we rearranged his room and I think he wasn't quite sure about it all!
I'm in super-expressing mode today, trying to get as much as I can before my day surgery (to get my episiotomy fixed up) tomorrow. MIL is looking after X (at our place) with DH working from home (so he's there as back-up)... should be interesting I just hope it all goes ok. Plus I found out it's definitely $500 for the surgery gaaaaaah serves me right for going private huh!!! But on the bright side, I get my new PC on Thurs (YAY!) and I've got an appt for X with the paediatrician on thurs too - the MHCN thought he had a "clicky" hip on one side. So I'll pick the paed's brains re hives/dog saliva problems too.
So it feels like it's all happening... and I'm buzzing around trying to clean up a bit today cos of MIL coming... more fool me I should leave it messy and see if she tidies up - HA!
Ho hum that's it for me - hope your days are all improving, special to SamiH & Amy_o having bad days.
belfie - hope all goes well tomorrow - put your feet up now and have a relax and make all that good milk for your little man - still in awe of what a great job you have done with expressing
I'm just crap cos of mastitis - not full blown - just getting dizzy sweats now, so wonderful hubby picking Riley up from school cos Ijust feel safe enough to drive.
I feel like I have achieved alot though - cooked 3 dozen chocolate and banana cupcakes for him to take to school tomorrow cos it was his birthday on Sunday - reminder, need to change siggie to say he is 6 - booohoo growing up
How's this for baby brain: I decided to go to mother's group. But when I went to leave it started raining so ran back in to get rain cover. Went to MG. Come home and saw my keys are still in the front door (which also has our car key on it)!!! OMG! I am sooooooooo glad we didn't get burgled!
belfie - GL for tomorrow! I hope it all goes well.
Sami - Hope you're feeling better soon.
katones - Sounds like it was a successful trip out. Maya fell asleep in her stroller on the way back so she's still in there now. Normally she wakes as soon as I stop moving it. But she's probably tired after her vaccinations I guess.
HI girls i have missed so much .
Sorry been busy and tired *yawn*.
Well Friday night went well had yummy thai dinner and a bottle of bubbly lol. As you can see from the FB pics for some of you. I got home about 1am (i left early) and got about 4 hrs sleep before DD woke up
Ethan took about 100ml of the bottle that night at 7pm - threw it up and then didnt feed over night, he woke at 6am - DH tried to give hima bottle - he refused all but 40ml so i had to stretch him as far as a could to BF him. Lucky i stopped drinking at 11pm so by 7am it would have been fine.
But yep he is refusing the bottle again. which i am not devestated about, as it is nice that he wants the boob again. but has been cluster feeding. Sometimes feeding 2 hrly andothers not hungry for 4hrs. but that is fine.
I got a hippopotamus swaddle and it is great - although he still manages to get out of it! go figure. But he woke twice last night and i re swaddled and settled with a dummy. it has beenabout 3-4 nights i have not fed him until 630 . He will wake every now and then but is haoppy to settle without bb's so i figure he cant be that hungry!.
I have E booked in monday for his needles while DD is a FDC. I am also booked in for a womans check (i havent seena dr since E was born). they are just too $$ and we cant afford it right now.
On the exciting side i got a brand new deep fryer from my rewards points on my credit card. (its nice to get something for nothing).. very exciting - cant wait for calamari!! mmmm.
hehe back frm a trip to the shops we ended up buying a brand spanking new bumbo for $70, the tray cost another $15 on top. at least DP likes it. now i jst need to be outbidded on ebay or i have to retrieve my bet somehow... we also bought some foam puzzle mats so guess that's what he gonna be sleeping on now. the floor mats were too exxy.
dragon was very angry today, been grumpy at both me & dp. wonder whats got onto him?!
well i finally get abit of time to myself...DH has decided to take Jack for a walk up the street Jack was so smiley & happy outside looking around everywhere...now to hang washing on the clothes horse and abit of time of the computer
Hope you feel better after a sleep!
She then had a bit of a feed and calmed right down. Then she stopped eating cos there was too much to look at. We came home and she had a better feed. So thankfully she's had two good feeds so far today!
