Sorry but cant do personals today, have a migraine.. Hit me after I went to the pead, which I had found out yesterday was actually today not Friday.
Anyway here's V's measurements.
Weight Birth - 2.38kg Now - 4.3kg
HC Birth - 34cm Now 39.5cm
Birth Length - 47cm Now 56.5cm
As you all may remember she has a little lump on the back of her head too the left, well at first the Dr wasnt quite sure what it was but has now told me that it is definately a Dermatoid Cyst and needs to be removed. He doesnt want to do it just yet, want her to grow a bit more but wants to see her again in 3mths time and will then book the surgery to have it removed. Thankfully he told me it is only day surgery so she wont be staying in hospital just for the day. I am really not looking forward to that day, let me tell you. Maybe thats why I ended up with a Migraine as soon as I stepped into the car when I left.
Sami - You have to sign up and purchase online or unlimimited to be able to view the recipes. You can also get recipes from the WW magazines.
Hi to everyone else, sorry but just not well enough atm hugs.
Had a hot stone massage today (belated birthday pressie) and it was BLISS! DH looked after X, and then I went to medicare and got like a million gazillion dollars back (I wish!) on the million gazillion receipts I hadn't submitted yet! I'm still trying to get all my bookkeeping stuff sorted, so had MIL over again on Tues... and X promptly slept for 4 hours through the arvo, so I'm sure she thought I have nothing to do all day lol but she was nice about it.
new pic here of my happy little boy in his new overalls (finally cooler weather!) - he was just super-smiley (usually it's instant frowns when the camera comes out) I could just eat him up he's so cute : https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...0&ppuser=11474
CSAB - sooo sorry to hear that V has to have an op ,how stressful for you hope the migraine departs asap too.
KAT - lol on the rolling!
GEORGI - eep those night wakes aren't fun. Fingers crossed he gets back to normal routine soon! And that's awesome on the weight. I've weighed in after my first week and I'm 1.6kg down so I'm pretty thrilled with that.
TANYA - I was thinking of you yesterday and hoping it was useful! I'm looking forward to hearing the update. Oh and I'm going to look for that book you mentioned too!
AJ - aaww that's so sweet he gave you that! I might have to drop some hints to DH. We've got our 10th wedding anniversary in May... hmm.
KURAIZA - lol I'm glad you like my addiction, I think I'm addicted to the oddest things! I'll look up those sleeping bags too... they sound good. As for the article, thanks heaps for the offer. I'm going ok so far, but i'll definitely come a'knocking when I start to plateau I'm sure!
SAMIH - yeah I'm not sure how much of WW online you can see before you join. I find it pretty good & user friendly (but i'm a nerd, so mebbe that helps?!? ).
Csab ~ hun V will be fine with the op (easy to say i know!!) but she is a fighter!!! and everything will be fine. Woo hoo on her weight by the way...i hope your migraine has eased.
Belfie ~ overall fan here to hun!!!!
sorry everyone else.... no personals..just not in the mood am off to work today to negotiate less hours
well success last night!!!! i wrapped Jack in the kiddopptimus as i hadn't 2 night previously and the bugger woke up BOTH those nights twice!!! well last night he didn't wake!!!!! i woke at 4am expecting him to be awake...but nope then i lay there thinking/waiting for him to wake... he fed at 6am and went straight back to sleep and is still sleeping now...
csab - Sorry to hear that V needs an op. But her growth is good.
belfie - Oh that massage sounds nice.
Georgi - What routine were you following? I've decided that I like to have a bit of a routine but I find it so hard to stick to any sort of routine as soon as I leave the house! Plus I find that a strict routine just doesn't work for me. Like now I am not supposed to feed her before 3 hours since the previous feed and I'm not supposed to feed her if she hasn't just woken from a sleep. But she keeps only managing to stay up about an hour or less even. Then she does an hour or hour and half nap. So sometimes that's 2 hours since the last feed but I can't resettle or feed her and I'm at a loss as to what to do. The nurse is going to call tomorrow so I'm writing a big long list of questions to ask her!
katones - Yay on Jack's good sleep.
So a woman from Tweddle came over yesterday. It was great having that extra support. I had tried some of the things she wants me to put in place, but I always gave up on them cos I never knew if I was doing the right thing or not. Now I have the confidence to keep going. I have no idea if it'll work or not for me. But something had to change and I think this is definitely worth a try. So far it seems to take less time to settle her down for a sleep which is good! But not everything is working at the moment or sometimes it takes a lot of resettling to get her to sleep or to go back to sleep. I just hope she'll be able to self settle at some point!
Anyway, I'm feeling more positive at the moment. And one of the good things is that my DH can again help to settle her. For a while now my DH couldn't put her to bed because she'd scream the house down and not stop screaming if he tried. So for me even that's a huge plus that he can help me with it again!
And I'm still down on all the sleep school waiting lists - so at least I know if this doesn't work out for me on my own I have those (when they are available!) as backup!
ETA - I forgot to mention that we also moved Maya to her own room and into her cot yesterday. She wasn't going to fit in her bassinet much longer and the woman from Tweddle thought it would be a good time to move her and start the new routine at the same time. I really missed Maya last night though. I love hearing her little noises and knowing everything is OK. Our room felt so empty last night. I keep thinking if I'm missing her this much and she's just in another room, imagine what I'll be like when she stays at someone else's house for the first time.
Hello all!!
Turns out my cranky baby turned in to a very sick baby. Short version she woke up Tuesday all phlemey and congested having trouble breathing, took to to emergancy, they wanted to observe her. While there she had what they call a "faint" where she was unconsious and unresponsive for about 5mins although still breathing (thank God!!) Mummy and daddy however were not!! So she was admitted overnight, then they found that she had RSV so longer stay. We got home a couple of hours ago, She is still clogged up poor darling and not well but I am happy to have her home, she can rest more and just chill here. Anyway I will be back tomorrow sometime...For now I want to shower and sleep after 4 days in a little hospital room!!!
Oh crap Amy!!!!! What is RSV - guessing respiratory something virus?? How absolutely scary for you - good on you for trusting your gut mummy instinct and getting her seen to - well done It's hard to know when to make that call sometimes ...
Heaps to say, been very busy - but no time Zander had a 5 months check up yesterday and was 7.7kg and 68cms long - so about 70th percentile all round .... starting on some rice cereal tomorrow, he yelled at us again tonight and as soon as he was on our lap and I gave him his own spoon - straight in his mouth and trying to grab my food - so cute. Digital recorder all loaded and ready for the mess
Amy - that sounds just awful you poor thing! Glad Bethany is on the mend! Oh and I googled RSV cos I didn't know what it is either- Respiratory syncytial virus (link).
SamiH - tehehe so cute from Z re the food. I think X isn't ready, but yesterday I had MG at my place and one girl bought chocolate snowballs (you know, the marshmallow things) and X kept STARING at them. Was hilarious... mebbe he wants solids now after all!
Katones - woo hoo for overalls & a successful night! Good luck with the less hours too - how many do you want?
Tanya - when we did a early parenting class (all about settling stuff) I came home mad keen to implement it, and nothing worked at ALL for the first day or so. So hang in there hun, good luck with it. Great that you get some follow-up and chance for more question.
I've got the IL's coming over this mornign (all the neighbourhood dogs have a regular sat morning play) then it's garage time! Hard rubbish collection on monday and my garage SOOOOOO needs a clean out. DH's back is bad atm, so him & MIL are on baby duty while I get into the cobwebs! And finally after DH has been snoring SO loudly all week I actually was so stuffed last night I fell asleep before him and got a good night's sleep. At last phew!
Oh and a teething question. We keep thinking X is teething... then he's not... then he is! His teeth on the top are very visible in the front of the gum IYKWIM (a friend yesterday who has an older child) thought they weren't far away at all. But the fact they're very visible, does that mean anything? I can't tell so much with the bottom gum, cos his little slobbery tongue always comes out to cover it! Plus last night he was waaaaaay grumpy, big red rosy cheeks, drooly and not a happy camper, jan! And he's munching on his hands, but he's always been a fist muncher anyways so I ignore that.
hope everone has a great long weekend! We only realised it was a long weekend on Thursday lol.
hope the migraine departs asap too.
