sami- sorry to hear abt AF...BUT i would gladly swap with u! r u exclusively bfing or not?

teru - yes I am exclusively b/f - i feel kinda sad about it cos Zander is our last bub and not having AF back was nice, and now here it is a reminder that i will never be preg again - see hormones all over the place LOL
belfie - u silly billy, but i like the red ones - we need to get a new one cos ours gets a workout and we have had it for 2.5 years ....I hope your DH is just leading you up the so calle dgarden path ...
DH got home and said - lets go to the beach tomorrow for a drive etc - he forgot we had already arranged a playdate for DS#1 from 12 - 4 so wont have enough time - so we are gunna go to a new tea house that has opened up and also does lovely afternoon teas .... awwww noice

lol snap SamiH - my AF has arrived again too. Guess I'm on a regular cycle already29 days...
We're gonna go out for lunch tomorrow or Sun... and I'm pretty sure he's not leading me up the garden path re pressie... don't think it exists. I'll tell him I need a shopping spree instead.
teru - I had a few ppl say to give panadol "in case' but then had plenty of other ppl say that's not done these days - why give it to 'em if they don't need it? And I must say, X hasn't needed it at the time of the needles either time. So i definitely prefer not to... but personal choice, tricky if DP is saying that methinks.
I'm getting to BAS time of year again and I'm sooo behind in our bookkeeping. The last one was Oct which was an absolute nightmare. So I could say that i won't be around much the next few weeks... butI'll prolly post more cos i'll be procrastinating!!!

Info :
Current guidelines for paracetamol.
It is not advised to routinely give paracetamol before are straight after injections.
As it can mask any initial reaction to the immunisations by reducing any approaching fever.
However if fever is extremely high or baby is very irritable this is when it is advised that paracetamol is better given
Hope that helps people out

one VERY tired lil boy...he has just been bathed and DH is feeding him now..then he will be in bed..he was falling asleep just before in the car on the way home from nannys house...
Registered User
gee i WISH Mia slept 2 hours during the day...... IS he still on Farex Katones?? is he liking it? have you tried the pear and banana one???
Mia missed out on her 7:30pm feed, that what happens when ur screaming at mummy for 1.5 hours and fall asleep exhausted and mum decides not to bother ur cranky little bottom. So im hoping she will still sleep till 11pm when i get her up to feed.
its starting to near the time where we are starting our bubs on solids.. how exciting!!
Registered User
HOllye are you waking her for a feed at 11?
Does she sleep through then?
i am putting off solids as long as i can lol...
Registered User

sami- sounds stupid but in a way i envy u. i need AF to come back so my BF wont have to suffer...

teru - I'm also against giving Maya panadol unnecessarily. I don't give her any panadol before injections. I have only ever given her panadol once now and that was after the last lot of injections when she was very unsettled with a fever. I don't think the fever really needed paracetamol to bring it down, but she was very unsettled and I suddenly thought what if she was in pain and couldn't tell me. In the end I don't think the panadol did much to help actually.
belfie - Oh gosh you reminded me that I still have to do my tax from last year.
katones - I hope Jack went to sleep for you.
PP - I hope Ashley's bedtime routine continues to be a success.
I have no idea when it comes to introducing solids. I like the idea of child led but I don't know how to go about it. Though sometimes Maya seems so interested in putting things in her mouth that I want to give her some of my food to try.
Well.. DH is currently trying to get Maya to go to sleep! We've been trying since 9pm. He's taken over from me cos I was getting annoyed!
Registered User
tanya - there are heaps of threads on her about BLS (baby led solids) well worth checking them out.

lol snap SamiH - my AF has arrived again too. Guess I'm on a regular cycle alreadySecond time I've had AF - got it for the first time last month. And yeah I assume the AF abbreviation is american... but guess I've just used it cos everyone else does... lol I'm a sheep then
Registered User
Hmm it will be interesting to see if I am back on the perfect 28-day cycle or if that was just because of the pill. I'm not on the pill now.
I have to admit, I haven't had sex since Jude was born. I've been way too tired, but now that Jude goes to bed at 6.30pm I think it's time. Am I the only one?

KURAIZA I wish you can tell my DH that. We've DTD (done the deed) about 4 times since BJ was born (5.5months ago) & he thinks he's got it bad. AF is quite a silly way to disguise menstration. Like Belfie... I'm just a sheep too
CSAB I never ended up getting AF TWL. Just a thought.. Maybe this is my AF??? Just clear
PP That's great that you haven't had AF for that long. And that you got your BFP while BF. I should be well & truely finished BF by the time we TTC again. We're starting in Jan 2010, BJ will be 1yr 3mth (corrected). I plan to finish BF when he's 1yr (corrected) in Oct. So maybe I won't get AF till I stop BF... That'd be nice
TERU The tell tale sign for me is the EWCM (egg white cervical mucus) but not everyone gets it. You can also take your temperature every morning & see when your temp jumps up, that means you've ovulated. Also your cervix becomes open & high (yes, that means you have to feel 'up there'). If you're really keen, there's a charting programme called fertility friend Fertility Friend OnLine

oh goodness we haven't DTD at all! My episiotomy took so long to heal (well it didn't heal properly) and now of course it's less than 2 weeks since it was repaired.
DH said rather mournfully the other day that we only DTD 4 times last year and it's true! How sad is that! Twice to conceive X. Then once in first trimester which resulted in bleeding & spotting and we were told to avoid DTD, plus he was waaaay too scared after that. Then in second trimester I had a huge scare and we were told bubs wouldn't make it (at 21.5 weeks) - turned out to be a false alarm, was just a vaginal prolapse. Then DH was too scared again (thought my vagina would fall out I'm sure!). Then in third trimester I bullied him into it (lol!) to try bring on labour - but that was only the once too... I think his words were "novelty value!"... and of course since then it's been episiotomy land.
I tried to console him by saying don't worry, we'll do it at least once this year to create #2...
Oh and he WAS faking me out yesterday - I got a Valentine's Day pressie this morning, two nice glassessneaky man tehe.
