Katones~~ I still have Bethany on 180ml water 3 scoops, she should be heading up to the next level which is 240mls water 4 scoops total 260mls bottle. So I would need to change her to a faster flow teat, too much to have in the number 2 teat she has now but for now she seems happy with what she is having, each day or so I try a larger bottle and she finds it overwhelming. I figure she'll tell me when she wants more tucker
ive still got Mia on the 2 month old flow teats.. shes drinks way too quick and i dont think she has earned the 3 month ones yet ;) lol
Also, u always go by what is made up after formula is added. I asked my MCHN again last week and she confirmed it again for me. And so did my pead.
Jack is still on the teats that came with the MAM bottles...i have tried him on the next stage up teats and because he is a piggy he splutters like a mad man...so we are still on those teats (he takes 13mins- yes i have times it!!! to drink 210mls) and that is with fidgeting and smiling & talking in between...
Georgi - That's great that BJ is feeding again. :clap: I hope he ramps up his feeding soon and then goes back to sleeping through the night for you.
Maya prob only had 3 OK feeds yesterday. I kept trying to feed her other times but she just would turn her head away. It was so frustrating. At her before bed feed I got fed up and decided to put her down for a sleep, but she wouldn't go to sleep. Finally after an hour of trying to put her to sleep I tried feeding again and she had a good feed. :wall: Ah well.. at least she did eat a good amount in the end.
Then at 3am she started squealing and DH and I bounded to her. She had a fever poor thing. I tried feeding and she drank a lot! Gave her some paracetamol. But it took a while to get her to go back to sleep! Finally she went to sleep around 4.30am! And slept till 8am and had another good feed. So at least it's two good feeds so far today! Hope she keeps it up!
Her sleeping is terrible though!! I've been struggling to put her down for a sleep this morning and finally have her lying in the lounge with me, hoping she'll calm down for sleep!
I have mums and bubs yoga this afternoon. :) First class.
have fun at mum and bubs yoga!!!!
we have gymbaroo on friday at 12.15pm am looking foward to it :D
kat- good u got onto maz, i got outbidded YAY cos the seller still hasnt got back to me. so far he likes the bumbo, pop him in to watch tv so i can log on BB :D
tanya- dragon been like maya too, slight fever (i think due to teething) but im really tryin to stay away frm panadol
sorry every1 else i missed, all the posts r on prev page
i think i ate cereal with milk thats a bit off. due date on 4th but i think power outage made it go off. if i get a sore stomach later i'll know why!
woot woot money from Mr Rudd :D $950 for me and something for DH anywhere from $350-$950 :D hmmmm what shall i spend it on???
from what??? mr rudd is being very generous latley...:
home again from my having my episiotomy scar tissue removed & re-stitched (is re-episiotomied a word!?) anyways... all went well. Down south feels like it's been trampled by a herd of wild stallions ho hum - but not too bad I guess.
MIL & DH looked after X - and that went really well thank goodness. Plus MIL is coming around the next two days to help look after him. I'm really trying to be good re not lifting stuff so hopefully it heals better this time.
Incidentally X is still on his newborn teat - looked at me like "what the???" when I've tried him with different ones. Also, the amounts he'll take vary massively. He averages 230 ml, but occassionally does 260-270 or 200. He is actually taking less on average now than he was a few weeks ago. I figure like us, sometimes you have hungry days and sometimes not. Even though I guess that doesn't help when you've gotta make up a set amount of FF!
Better the money be spent on us the citizens that live here then have a massive surplus like with liberal. Anyhoo just my 2cents. Would rather do something with it than have it sit in a giant bank account somewhere. Besides, people spend and my DH who works in retail job is a little safer and that makes me feel better :))
Hi girls sorry I haven't posted much lately, I've been reading though, just haven't felt that I can add much and have been trying to keep the house a little tidier, lol.
Julian has started to blow raspberries now as well as poking his tongue out, it's very cute. I had a great day today, I went for a visit over to PP's house and the kids had a wild time playing together. Hopefully I'll make a bigger effort to post so that I don't get so far behind.
hugs xoxo
Hiya AmandaJ
don't you just love the raspberries?? Jack does it when he has his dummie in...so the dummy flies out...then continues to blow the raspberry and spit everywhere.
SAMI I guess you knew that they change just as you figure them out. Having the 2 other kids. I let it stress me too much, rather than just go with the flow. I like routine. I still do my best to keep him in it, but I have decided to relax about it & just do what he wants.
TANYA How was Maya yesterday? BJ was fantastic. He fed & slept really well. How was mums & bubs yoga? I have ours today at 11am. Last week BJ just cried the whole time cause he was tired & he just won't sleep unless he's in his own crib :wall: So I'm gonna feed him at 10.30am, in the car, before so he'll just sit in the pram & have his awake time with some toys. I hope it all goes to plan
BELFIE How are you feeling hun? I hope you make the most of your MIL being there to give you a helping hand
We had mothers group yesterday, which was nice. BJ woke at 12.15pm so I fed him then out we went. He never sleeps anywhere but his bed so I was prepared for that. Though he managed to nap in my arms for around 20mins. We got home around 5pm so I fed him again 30 MINUTES woohoo! But he refused to go to sleep. I kept him up hoping that he'll have a top up feed before bed at 7.30pm, but nope. So I put him to sleep & he woke at 12.30am for a feed. Then I heard him wake every hour after that. Another crappy night sleep for me! At least his feeding, so i'm happy with that.
HELLO to everyone else. Hope you all have a nice day!
I'm going to visit RENSTAR & Ava today. She mms'd me a pic & the gorgeous little thing looks so much like her daddy. I can't wait to have cuddles with her
belfie - did you ask in your new flash avvie that our Z/X's be the same ??? LOL I love the panda - wasn't any room in mine - and gee I have to meet your hubby now if he looks like that :ROFL: He would have to pretty pleased with himself too hey!
Well..
Monday - mastitis and headcold
Tuesday - Zander immunisations and he cried alot before bed last night (veeeeeery out of character for him)
Wednesday - Giselle woke at 5am vomiting and continues to do so - two loads of washing on the line, school drop off with her vomiting in the back of the car
When the frig am I supposed to get some flippin sleep??
Ok, rant over - back later.

Kat the suspense is killing me already!!!!!!!
Off to kindermuisk this morning...hopefully :)
Catch ya later ladies
OMG :dance: hadn't seen my avvi until I saw SamiH's post - I LOVE IT!!! YAYAY
BBL, hi to everyone
OMG - I had such a horrible day yesterday. After my post yesterday Maya did the most MASSIVE poop ever. Totally filled her nappy, went all over her play mat and into the carpet! And at the moment the cat decided to do a spew just to add to the mess. :wall: Then Maya was awake from 8am till 3pm!!!! I just could not get her to go to sleep. She would fall asleep in my arms, but the minute I tried to put her down her eyes would spring open and she'd start bawling. So around 1pm I gave her some more paracetamol cos I thought maybe she was in pain from the injections! I still went to yoga with her cos I figured she could be grumpy at home or grumpy there. :rofl: She actually did OK though, then fell asleep on the walk home. Then woke at home and screamed for half an hour until I finally got her back to sleep and she slept for AGES! After that sleep she was soooooooo much happier and not as hot (fever gone!). Phew.
Today she seems to be almost back to normal. I guess the injections really affected her this time!
Oh I loved yoga though!! It felt like an escape for me. I felt much more relaxed afterwards. :)
belfie - I hope you heal up soon. Love the avi. Specially the panda.
amy - Let us know how kindermusik goes.
Sami - I feel for you! I had a very similar time with Maya after these vaccinations! It really took me by surprise cos last time they didn't seem to bother her at all.
Georgi - How was mums and bubs yoga? Maya doesn't sleep while out either. And she was extra grumpy cos she hadn't slept for HOURS yesterday. But she was actually better than I thought she'd be. She only lost it towards the end and needed cuddles. Her feeding is still frustrating me. She has some decent feeds, but mostly is only on for a minute or two. I keep being scared my supply is going to go down. :( Glad to hear BJ is feeding better. Can you get him to talk Maya into feeding better too? :lol: Oh.. BTW I read in Baby Love about breast refusal and it said that it can happen every now and then and last between 2 days to 3 weeks! And they don't know why it happens. :wall:
Amanda - I haven't seen raspberries from Maya yet. It sounds very cute. :)
katones - What money? I'm thinking of trying gymbaroo too. It sounds good.
teru - I hated the idea of giving panadol too. It's the first time I've ever given it to her. But I think she was in pain and she had a fever after the injections.
*Tanya*
money from Mr Krudd...
if you earnt last financial year up to $80k you will recieve $950, $80-$90k you will recieve $600, $90-$100k you will recieve $300 or $350 (cant remember) also if you have children at school (not sure what years etc..and ages..) you will recieve $950 and if you recieve FTB part B (if you are eligible for it as at 3/2/09) you will recieve $950
katones - I hadn't heard anything about the money. Sometimes I feel really out of what's going on in the world! Thanks for the info. Oh and I just noticed your 'Ssssshhhhh SOMETHING is in the making.... keep your eyes peeled'. Very curious now... :D
*tanya* the money has kinda been passed but there are people apposing it so it may NOT come through...such a shame if it doesn't but oh well.
lol about the secret...have had peeps on facebook asking me about it...all will be revealed if it goes through!!
*hugs* tanya - i hope today is a better day for you.
Well i am offically in love with my kiddopotumus wrap. E slept through 8pm-6am no wake ups (usually e wakes and needs to be resettled). woohoo
Amanda - great to see you again yesterday! :)
Georgi - is it sunny down there today? Say congrats to ren for me!
belfie has an avvy!! its awesome girl!!
Kindermusik was great, Bethany loved it. More than Gymbaroo so for the time being we are dropping gymbaroo and sticking with kindermusick.
Have a dirty nappy to tend too....
BBL
amy_o...i am not a musical person but had thought about kindermusik (like to listen to my faves but that is it) so i hope everything goes OK for us at gymbaroo (i am a very shy person when it comes face to face IFGWIM??) and i hope when we go..Jack enjoys himself :)
Hello again
It's been a long time. I hope you're all well and your babies are healthy and happy. Despite all the problems I have had with Jude's lack of sleeping, my long-term insomnia and ongoing breast refusal that has me second-guessing myself every moment of every day, I continue to get by. I can't really believe it's 4 months and I still don't know what's going on. Tomorrow the MCHN is coming by to see if she can shed any light on the situation.
Georgi: I guess I "saw" you at mums and bubs yoga today. If you were there last week, I was the sorry sucker with the baby who screamed the entire hour, the one with the defeated expression on my face. I am so grateful he was peaceful today, I wasn't going to go back after last week but my husband convinced me and I'm glad I did go, because now I know it's possible. Going out is much harder now than it was when Jude was a newborn and he slept all the time.
That's interesting about the money being given back to us from the government (I just wish they'd stop stealing it from us in the first place), I didn't know about that either. My husband will be glad to hear about it. Poor man, all the pressure of having to look after his family. I need to start working again but I don't have a job to return to and I'm too exhausted to work.
Good to see our twinny is back!!! good to hear from you kurazia :)
kat - why is your fb saying you u are dissapointed?
oh something to do with someone..PP...just trying to ge something that they said they were going to do and now they have backed out...
anyways..i am majourly pee'd off!!!
we booked out trial for gymbaroo on Friday and now the class is FULL so we can't go to the trial BUT no one emailed me saying this..i had to email them and ask....
soooo angry!!!
Ssssshhhhh SOMETHING is in the making.... keep your eyes peeled ?????????????????? another bub???
HOllye when are you moving up babe! i need a hairdresser~! lol
Kat - i hope you can sort it out
tomorrow!! yay!!!!
bored....
ps. lmao! tomorrow.. i wish!
lol this secret is getting everyone's interest!
Kuraiza - I've missed you, great to see you back :hug:
hi to everyone - I'm most intrigued by kindermusik and gymbaroo - I know nothing about either (living under a rock? :lol:). I'll have to do some googling.
I've had MIL over this arvo helping out while I try to ensure my stitches stay put & it heals better than last time... I could get used to this lifestyle haha! She's actually been really fab. I retract everything bad I ever said about her! Bit sore still but not too bad.
For those who've had vaccinations, I hope things have improved.
SamiH - our Z/Xanders do look similar in the avi's, how very fitting! Oh and DH said to come on over ;) :rofl: he loves his pic! HAHAHA I must admit, it's made me look distinctly more va va voom than I currently do! I think it's me in about -10kg ha!
Oh and I'm sending e-sleep for all those who need it! It's non fattening, low cal, free and doesn't provide any actual rest at all!!!
Man E is doing some toxic farts today!
on verge of passing out............
belfie - prepare yourself - your husband is living a double life - with HOLLYE - check out the avvies - same hunk a spunk, but he put the short sleeve version on to see hollye as he was going north from melb.
I crack myself up
Is it obvious I am deliriously tired and BORED after being home all day with vomit??
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: and OMG you're so right! Wow, double life with Hollye, he's doing well to manage that!:
tell the two timer i dont wanna meet him anymore - no time for me ;)
Sami I hope that DD gets better soon, it sucks when they are so sick. How's your mastitis going?
Kurazia great to see you back, I hope that the MCHN can give you some answers tomorrow.
Belfie you sexy mumma you, luv the new avvie, rest up and hopefully the pain will be well worth it in a few weeks.
Tanya you poor thing, I hope that Maya slept a bit better today.
Georgi I hope that the visit with Ren was great and having nice cuddles with Ava.
Julian has been fussy for the last few days, not sleeping properly during the day.... not sure if he's got some teeth moving and causing a bit of pain or a feeling a bit off, has been sleeping for one sleep cycle then wakes screaming...poor thing.
Off to watch biggest loser, to get some inspiration.
hugs xoxo
jst a quick one:
holy moly, someone wants to pay $80 + $15 post for a 2nd hand bumbo seat?!
i paid $85 for a new one frm the shops...
amy - Good to hear kindermusik went well. :) I'd like to do either gymbaroo or kindermusik.. not sure which one.
kuraiza - Good to have you back. :) I hope you get some help from the MCHN!
Well I had a much better day with Maya. She slept well - probably to make up for not sleeping at all yesterday. She also ate a lot more than she has been. :hooray: I just hope she continues to feed well. :crossfingers: She was still quite grisly today, so I think she's still affected by the injections. But it was a much better day than yesterday. :)
My bestie rang me to invite me over to her sisters place. Her sister lives about 20 mins from me (which is a much better drive than an hour or more). So I spent the arvo with them and their two 1 year olds.
hey sounds like you had a nice arvo Tanya - that's fab!
Well I'm still walking around like a duck with a hooha up my quacker... hmm oh well (have you all got a nice mental image now? :rofl:). We're off to the paed's this morning, I'll have to try & walk normally hahaha! My new PC arrives today, soooo excited. I'm using DH's at present and I hate it.
Teru - amazing what ppl will pay when they don't realise the price of something new! I saw P&T sports on ebay for more than I'd paid too!
AmandaJ - how is the inspiration going? I'm watching loser for some inspiration too - might even start doing something about it in a week or so!
SamiH - hope you're feeling better. DH says he's devastated that you don't want him anymore, but he's gonna console himself with Hollye (will she get a shock d'ya think to discover she has a bonus DH!?!?! :rofl:)
PP - lol on the toxic farts, that cracked me up!
Katones - g'day! :hello: hope that someone somewhere is doing something that they were supposed to!
P.S> I'm only posting so I can admire my sexy avi again!
