Babies Born October 1st-15th 2008 #6

Sami - I noticed today Maya has a little white dot on her lower gums. Could that be a tooth?? I have no idea what I'm looking for. And for all I know that dot has always been there cos I've never studied her gums before. :rofl: Also it's not in a location I would have thought a first tooth would be - so I'm not sure if it really is a tooth or something else.

csab - Hope V is feeling better soon.

kuraiza - You are very lucky that Jude had a good reaction to the vaccinations. Maya slept heaps after the 2 months vaccinations and I just expected it would be the same deal for the 4 month ones. But she was so unsettled and had a fever this time. And that's when she stopped sleeping well! :( Dinner sorted for the week is great. :) The gallery is still around but the link to it is gone. You'll have to search around to find it.

Amanda - I hope Julian is feeling better soon!

I had a better night with Maya - so belfie your sleep vibes worked for her. :) She was in bed at 9pm and woke at 1am, 5am and 8am. But the fantastic part is that I could actually put her straight back down after feeding at 1 and 5 and she went straight to sleep. :hooray: She hasn't done that in ages now. It's not the getting up to feed her that bothers me - it's the rocking her to sleep for ages afterwards that bothers me. So it was great that I didn't have to do that last night. Though I still had a horrible nights sleep cos I kept expecting her to wake any minute. :rolleyes:

I had to rock her to sleep for her late morning nap - which I wish I didn't have to do, but it's not as bad during the day as it is at night time! I still might consider sleep school - but maybe a day stay or something. Just to get some ideas on how to settle her. Today I'm going to go to the library though and borrow books on getting babies to sleep, so maybe one of those might help?!

Ok.. off to get a coffee!

Hey - it might be - or it could be thrush too :ROFL: not that thrush is funny :redface: but yeah its hard to say without seeing it - the teeth pop up a little further back in the gum than when they are fully through, is that what you mean? Otherwise, if any of your friends are around or MG with other kids etc - get them to have a looksie.

I checked Zanders again this morning, I think he will end up betting both very close together, they are just sitting under the skin - maybe another week?

put him down for nap, he is up and down at the moment with uncomfortableness - and when down last time after 30 mins woke and did a poo so I couldnt really just resettle him lol.

kat - there is a thread that i didnt read :redface: random act of kindness day - everyone who upgraded to plat could nominate another member to be upgraded, or if they are already plat (like me) they get another year added on to their membership. lovely gesture - so PM me whoever it was ... I have a little idea, but they are not supposed to put it in a thread etc .....

She doesn't have any other white dots.. so I don't think it's thrush. Unless it's just the start of thrush. :dunno:

What do you mean by they pop up a little further back in the gum? Do you mean towards the back? Or further left or right? The dot is further left along the gum line.

I did have a look at another kids gum at MG cos the mum said her baby's teeth were starting to push up and Maya's gums don't look the same at all. So that makes me think it might not be teeth. Maybe it's just a weird blemish. :rofl:

Well that was fun. I found the gallery but now I see why there's no link to it anymore. I managed to upload a few photos, but it took a good hour.

Here's one: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...8&ppuser=14092

Question: Does anyone's baby suddenly wake up and bellow out a very loud and very real cry (not a sob, I mean a full-blown wail)? Sometimes I think Jude's having nightmares.

Congrats csab & SamiH on your RAK'ing! (is that a usable word?) :clap: very well deserved.

Tanya - so glad to hear the vibes worked!

AmandaJ - lol I bought 12 - 18 m.o. size in overalls... cos I, um er :redface:... already have sufficient overalls in any sizes less than that! So it'll be a while. But you'll see the next ones I have lined up... sooooo cute! Like I said.. I have a problems. Is it possible to be an overallaholic?

kuraiza - :rofl: re the vaccinations!! And yum on the food, can he cook enuff for all of us? teheh

csab - aaaw poor little sick chooky! Have V and Julian been sharing snot?

Ok, back to my bookkeeping - got MIL here looking after X. And I've been good, only posted once which isn't too much procrastinating at all!!

I'm back!!!! Did you miss me???? I am not even going to try and catch up on what I have missed!!! LOL :)

amy - Welcome back. :hello:

kuraiza - Cute photos of Jude. He looks so much older now. As for crying out in sleep - Maya does that too. But I wonder if it's when she's about to wake.. and then doesn't actually wake. :dunno:

I went to the library this afternoon and have borrowed Tweedle's book on sleep so hopefully it'll have some good tips for me in there!

Poor Maya has been doing huge vomits today. She hardly ever vomits and when she does it's always small. So I dunno if that means she's sick!?

hiya girls....
not much happening here....
didn't go away this week..due to shiat weather.... been out abit..shopping/movies/shopping...hehehe

afew new piccies of barge bum jack....
https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...t=1041&ppuser=

7.9kgs as of today :D

Wow-zuz! He's younger than Jude and Jude weighed just 5.3kg yesterday. Jack's on solids already, and look at how he's loving it!

Sami - Congrats on the RAK'ing, I got RAK'ed too.

Belfie - Thanks so much, V has more than likely been sharing snot with Julian, hehehe. Poor little bubs. She isnt a happy chappy at all today. I thinks I am going to be in for a hell of a night tonight. As for the bookkeeping, gee arent you good, I still havent looked at mine today, I must tomorrow tho. So much to do. :wall:

Amy - Yes we did miss you.

Amanda - I hope Julian gets better real soon hun. I knew it was only a matter of time before V got it. hugs

I am so sorry ladies, but I must tend to V.... hugs I hope all your bubs have a good nights rest.

csab - woohoo you are deserving well and truly - such a kind word to say to everyone :)

Well it made my day - I am trying not to go out of my mind with Z - he has been such an easy going bub - the last 2 days he wont sleep more than 30 minutes stint ( sorry yesterday mornng was his last good one - 2 hours), won't resettle, i know the teeth are coming, but shouldnt muck up that much - and for a change he is feeding beautifully the last few days :rolleyes: I thought, house is much quieter now school/preschool started - maybe he is just missing the kids. I just dont know - i havent changed any routine, when he wakes from the 30 mins and has a hissy fit and i end up picking him up - he cuddles into me and closes his eyes again, but back in the cot after 5 mins he is crying again - i have always put him down semiawake so :dunno::wtf:

any ideas i can extract from your brains ladies?

I know i cant beat myself up too much, i am giving him all the right conditions, right environment, I can't make him sleep - but frustrating cos I honestly cannot get anythign done inbetween school runs etc.

aaww SamiH - as you said, don't beat yourself up! You're doing everything right, I remember a post the other day about Infant's Friend, no joy from that? How long ago were his vacc's? I know X was really not his usual self for a full week (but I have a feeling that timefram has passed for Z). Hang in there, it'll get better... and don't beat yourself up if stuff don't get done.

X has just whispered in my ear that he knows what the problem is... Z doesn't have any of this Panda bedlinen! http://www.bubbablue.com.au/BubbaBlu...ne/362ImgA.jpg

k must go sleep now!

hun thanks 4 giving me a big belly la ugh first thing!!!!

He was kind last night though - slept from 7.30 - 5am - feed - back to bed until just now I can hear him gurgling 7.40am.

See what the day brings. At least waking now he will tolerate the school/preschool run and be home to go to bed 9.30ish. phew!

Well since I have a bit of time on my hands now I will fill you all in on our goings on. Miss Bethany coped with the move really well, barely interupted her routine, She is sleeping in the own big girl room no worries. :) However since she is the only bedroom with aircon she has DH in there on a matterss on the floor for sleep overs each night!! I am fine with the fans I don't see the big deal....Anyway. Its great having more living space and not feeling all cramped like in the unit. Its also nice to look out and see garden not someone elses unit!!! LOL Most of all I love the fact that my carport is right outside my kitchen door, at the unit I was about 150 or more meter away from our garage, we had to walk around a block of garages and then up a path to our unit, imagine doing that in the rain with a baby and shopping!!! The beach is about a 2min drive, Bethany and I are thinking of going walking down there soon once we sort out our new routine!!

She is rolling over all the time now, still can't get back to her back though so when she gets sick of being on her tum she crys out!! She mostly sleeps on her tummy with the butt up in the air, so cute, she is also sleeping with her 2 snuggle blankets now. It is adorable. Pics posted in gallary.

Congrats to the RAK people well deserved!!!

Glad all the other bubbas and their mammas are good!!!

bigs hugs from Bethany and me too!!

PS Katones....Bethany misses her BF any new pics up I can show her??? :D

Just got home from MG, it was our last one and we have organised to go out for lunch next week :)

Mia had her 4 month check today..

Birth -
3.5 kg
34 hc
45 cm length

4 months -
6.5 kg
41 hc
61.5 cm length

needles tomorrow argh!!!!!!!!

katones - Jack looks like he's loving solids. When did you start him on solids?

csab & Amanda - I hope your bubs are feeling better!

Sami - How did Z go today? Sleeping better? Oh and I read up about white spots on gums in Baby Love and I think the spot on Maya's gum is a cyst, which is harmless. So no teeth here. It would be nice to have an explanation of her behaviour over the last few weeks though! :doh:

amy - Good to hear the move went well. :)

Hollye - I hope Mia's vaccinations go well.

Hi to everyone else. :hello:

Well.. I've had a FANTASTIC day! :hooray: And a good night too. Maya woke twice (as usual) but I was able to put her straight back down after the feeds and she would fall asleep on her own. :dance: Then this morning I got myself out of bed earlier than normal and headed to the movies - mums and bubs session - with my friend's sister and her 1 year old to see 'He's just not that into you'. It was so nice seeing a movie again though at times I was distracted with Maya. But gosh I am loving that she is taking a dummy now. I popped one in her mouth when she was getting grisly and she was quiet for the rest of the movie. :) Then we all had lunch together and with dummy in her mouth she had a snooze in her stroller so I was then able to do some shopping! And the best thing of all.. she didn't cry in the car. :leap: I am SO loving the dummy right now. :)

Tanya: Wlecome to dummy heaven. I don't know how you coped before without one.

Jude's been weird since his vaccinations 3 days ago, he's been sleeping a lot and today he's been quite grizzly. Do the effects last this long?

Kuraiza - with us the effects of the vaccinations lasted one week! Sorry - hope it doesn't last as long for you.

Tanya - wow what a lovely day, that's so nice! I've been meaning to see that movie... haven't made it to the movies since X was born.

Hollye - hope the needles go well tomorrow, and go Mia, looks like she's growing well

Amy - yaaay welcome back hun :hug: nice to have you back. I'm so glad to hear it all went well, and congrats to Miss Bethany on her rolling! X still hasn't worked out how to roll off his fat gut... and for a first today I found him asleep on his tum! I was so surprised. When I went to roll him back, he'd woken himself up and was most sleepy and surprised to find himself the wrong way up!

csab - that was so nice of you to say I'm good going my bookkeeping. The reality is I'm just soooo far behind it's horrific, but I'm adopting a very strict prioritisation approach - i.e. get this BAS done and THEN I'll start cleaning up the last year. Good luck with yours!

SamiH - hope Z behaved himself today. I told X to send him good vibes.

Katones - ooooh wow Jack looks so happy with his solids! Gorgeous pics.

Well my AF took a turn for the weird. Even though it started the other week (or so I thought) then it stopped after a day or so. And now it's started again. Has anyone else ever got this weird messy kinda start/stop bizo? Is it cos i'm still expressing?

I'm going to my first WW meeting tomorrow - feeling highly motivated at present (hopefully that'll last!).

belfie - AF could go a bit weird - i spotted on and off for a while, then had it for only 3 days. Who knows hey???!! WW - i would love to do that too - good luck, you will be a star - i need to do something where i have to face someone everyweek, not strong enough jsut for myself or DH :ROFL: Plus he buys me treats the bugger!!

Z slept well last night, had 1.5 hours this morning (after a resettle) but then only 30 mins and woke at 1.30 - and then when getting tired i ahd preschool/school run so home at 3.30 - whipped him into bed at 3.40 but had to get him up at 4pm for calisthenics until 5.30. So he is absolutely stuffed!!!! He went to bed at 6.45pm so fingers crossed ....

Oh, and I found a neat way to tell if teeth coming through - get a clean glass, put it in their mouths like having a drink and gently of course, push the glass ontheir gums - of course it will go whitish cos of restriction of blood, but you can see really clearly if there are teeth there or not - and Zander's aare definitely there!

Tanya - i sooo wanna see that movie - good on you for getting to it - the most exciting thing i saw was Bolt in 3D with Riley :rolleyes: - but Zander was really good then a month ago.

gotta go - need some fruit for lunch boxes so sending DH off to market, to market ....

Anyway, on a different note. Jude was a nightmare last night. I hope that was the last of the immunisation effects. He kept waking up. I guess the one good thing about breast refusal and formula feeding is that my husband has no real excuse not to share the burden on a night like that.

Sami: That sounds like a good trick for seeing teeth, it's like a magical looking glass into the future. I don't think Jude will be teething for a while. But I just wanted to tell everyone that my niece had her top teeth come through before her bottom teeth, so don't forget to look up top, too.

OMG I am so super cranky... Miss Bethany had just had her 6amish bottle and had re settled and my mobile rang, (I leave it on over night for emergancies, old habits die hard it is from years of living alone!!) Anyhoo through my sleep eyes I gaze at the id screen......It is my younger (much dumber) bro. Calling at 7AM MY TIME!!!!!!!! Ok so that is 8am his time but I can kinda get it he runs one of the family motels (there are 2) so he is up and about but really come on people. I managed to indicated that this was not a good time for a converstation and hang up. But too late the damage was done...guess who wanted up and out of the cot and play time??? Grrrrrrrrrr. She is usually really good about snoozing till about 9 after that feed. Weirdest part, I NEVER hear from my bro NEVER. This is the first phone call in like months. And he had to make it a 7 frigging am. Well atleast I got the floors cleaned before it got to hot.

:ROFL: Amy I can't believe you are complaining about being up at 7am .... but i get how frustrating it is for bub to be woken. I leave my mobile on 24/7 still so you are not alone there .....


belfie - i wanna buy new cot sheets now :( but this being our last bub i am not allowed to as it is too extravagant considering we wont use them again and i have 5 other sets of perfectly good linen in the cupboard ..... men :rolleyes:

LOL Sami it was more the fact that she had re settled really well and I could see a window of oppertunity for a little more shut eye.....just a glimer....Then BAM the glimer goes.....Also makes for cranky baby being woken...but she just had a power nap so hopefully she will be fine for the rest of the day. We have a funny kind of routine cause of DH's work times and all that, the fact that we just have the one too means we can be a bit strange but hey whatever works for us hey?? :D So Miss Bethany usually doens't offically start her day till around 9ish. Long story. Anyhoo. Life goes on and all that. Just cranky I missed my little lie in, I am so tried......and sooo sick of getting things fixed in the damned house!! LOL

*thinking to myself* --- mmmm maybe circumcision ... maybe not ....

Amy - i'm just green with envy that i can't start our day at 9am - but then again my kids are all mostly in bed by 8pm so that is good too - shouldnt be greedy hey!

More Anzacs in oven to rescue - DS loved them so much after baking them for the school fete i did some today for a little treat when he got home from school - probably the only time i will ever bake as such :lol:

kuraiza - I'm definitely loving dummy heaven. :) But now I'm not sure how often I should use the dummy. Do you only use it for bed time?

Oh and you won't want to hear this but Maya has not been the same since her 4 month injections, which were 3 weeks ago!!!! She's been harder to settle, feeding more and waking more at night since then! :( Hopefully the effects will wear off for Jude soon!

Last night Maya woke 3 times and was really hard to resettle after one of the feeds (up for nearly 2 hours). Sigh! I just don't know why she has changed so much and will it ever go back to how it was?! :pray:

I had a good day though. My DH finally took a day off that he had owing. :) And I went and had a massage while he looked after Maya. :)

just a quick one frm me...
exams all finished, YAY!
wish me luck with the ILs, hope i dont get into a fight with DP. I dont agree with their child-bringing methods etc PLUS DP is guaranteed grumpy as he's been naughty up till not so long ago...2mths of crap in his system & then without *sigh* hope the meds will do its job. his friend said that getting off the stuff will cause him to go into depression, not lookin forward to it. anyhoo better get our ass out the door to the airport, will post when we're back...
have a good weekend everyone :)

Tanya: Well Jude and Maya have been tag-teaming since they were born, having quite similar temperaments, so poo to that. Maya waking up 3 times a night and being so hard to settle is terrible, it hasn't come to that with Jude but I had to feed him twice at each feed last night, once from the boob and then from bottle because he wasn't satisfied so I was up for ages twice through the night, but once I'd filled him to the brim he went to sleep easily, even without his dummy.

btw, I use the dummy whenever I want to, I don't worry about it only being for bed. I have vague memories of there being rules back at the start, but I quickly got over that. Jude doesn't always take a dummy and he doesn't always need one, so he's definitely no Maggie Simpson.

Teruteru: congratulations on finishing your exams. I missed out, what are you studying? That must be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (etc) hard with a little baby.

teru - woo hoo congrats on the exams!! :clap: I still don't know how you do it, so well done. I hope the trip goes well too.

Well we had a very unsettled Mr X last night - who was he on the phone to? :lol:
And he had his bath this mornign which always makes him mega-grumpy... poor laddie gets the itchy scritchies afterwards. MIL was over and was quite struck by how unhappy he is afterwards (which was kinda gratifying cos I had explained that this happens), and that's why we do it on the day, not at night. Oh well, at least it's over for another week.

I went online shopping and bought myself a superstar galactibra (a sports one - but not underwire) to hold in my E cup girls, Estelle & Edna (no, i don't really call them that :rofl:). I'm hoping it'll be good, cos i just can't find a decent bra anywhere atm, and I want to be able to walk without knocking myself out! Fingers crossed it'll be ok.

Oh and SamiH - u can live vicariously thru me, cos i bought those cot sheets. In return, you can have my share of the anzacs :p

hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I couldn't sleep until 4 am - combination of DH snoring, unsettled boy, and "healing discomfort". arrrgh :wall: zombie-belfie needs caffeine!

Ugh, judging by the wet patch and the ache in my ovaries, I'm back on a 28-day cycle. Not that it matters since I'm not having sex. God, my poor husband.

Anyone have set plans on when/if they will have another child?

no plans here ... we are done :):lol:

Kuraiza
as for AF....mine is all over the place...it has only been 21 days since last AF.. and she has returned with a vengence!!!! its days like today i hate being a woman!!!
As for kidlets... want 1 more (that will make total of 4) BUT we are not 100% sure if/when we will start IVF again...IF we do..it will be January '10 when we will start, we will have to do a FULL stim cycle as we don't have any frozen embies :( we only got 2 eggs last cycle and only 1 was viable (and that 1 is Jack)

Teru
congrats on finishing your exams :D
and i hope you have a great trip :)

Katones - wow 4, i can't imagine it.

we're gonna start trying for #2 probably Oct onwards. My obs suggested we should be trying then because of my... ahem... advanced age :lol:

OMG.. Maya only woke ONCE last night at 4am! I feel like a new woman! Though she was hard to settle after her feed and was up till 6am! Still.. getting up once for 2 hours is better than 2 or 3 times! I really hope she keeps doing that and is over the waking many times!!! :pray: And yesterday I visited my mother (hour long car trip) with no crying!!! :hooray:

teru - Congrats on finishing your exams! And have a great trip! :)

kuraiza - Yeah I'm using the dummy now whenever I feel it's necessary. I don't think she sleeps as deeply when she has a dummy in her mouth so I try settling her without it but if it's taking ages I pop the dummy in. It's also great to have for car trips cos she hates being in the car but at the moment the dummy seems to keep her calm. :) As for more kids.. I'm planning to have them far apart. I wouldn't be able to cope with another one while Maya is still very young. Maybe when she's 3 or 4? What about yourself?

belfie - You're not that old! I'm not that far behind you in age! As for bras.. I think I've been wearing the wrong size maternity bras. I am so annoyed cos I got fitted twice and was told two different sizes. One was too tight and the other was quite loose so I went with the loose fitting cos it's more comfy. And I've assumed that maternity bras are meant to be loose and unsupportive. But I am sick of having bouncy bbs so I went into a store and tried on heaps and I now think I am in between the two sizes I was fitted for and gosh it's more comfy having supported bbs! But I've forked out so much money on maternity bras and now I'm going to have to fork out a whole lot more money on this new size. :wall:

Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all having good weekends. :hello:

Tanya: Breastfeeding bras are meant to be very supportive. You have a little baby tugging on your boobs, stretching the muscles and skin and you need to keep your boobs firmly supported to stop them sagging and dragging on the ground.

The jury's out on whether we'll have another baby. I think it's likely because I always wanted 2 babies, but with this lack of sleep thing I've been rethinking things. However, if we do have another child the earliest we'll be trying to conceive will be August 2010.

kuraiza - Yeah I can really feel the difference with the new bra. I'm actually really p***ed off that I had TWO proper bra fittings and they were BOTH wrong! And then I spent lots of money buying bras in the wrong size. What's the point of getting properly fitted then?!?

It sounds like you'll wait as long as we will to have another child. I've decided that I will definitely have a second one, but the earliest we'd start trying is mid-late next year. That way Maya will be around 3 and can maybe go to early kinder.

Question: Where do your babies sleep? In your room or another room? And do they sleep in a cot or bassinet or in your bed? And if they are in another room how do you hear them (do you have a monitor or do you just hear them when they cry loudly?)? - hmm.. I guess that's questions not question.

Jude sleeps in his own room in a cot. His room is next door to ours and we leave his door open and ours open just a crack. We live in a small rented apartment, I can hear him from anywhere.

I also was properly fitted for maternity bras 3 or 4 times, and every time I was told something different. I also wasted money on expensive bras. I now live in my Big W soft-something bra that cost $20 or something.

Tanya - maybe your BB size changed? I got fitted in late PG, but I don't like what was available (think granny-style with a big seam across it that shows under t-shirts!) and find it very difficult to find things I like/fit properly. When I've been to Target & Big W just NOTHING fits me! I can't wait until I'm back to a C-cup again and can actually fit into more mainstream stuff! So I'm with you on spending a fortune. And lol I shouldn't joke around my age, it's just my way so I don't take myself too seriously teheh. Really we're 35 and 33 years young :)

Oh and X sleeps in his cot in his own room - we leave the doors open usually but also have a baby monitor which gets used when I have any of our 2 cats or 1 dog inside, so I can safely shut his door & still hear him. One of my cats has decided that a cot is surely nothing but a cat-sized bed and makes a beeline for it. So our door-shut policy has become even stricter! We tried him in our room but he snored so loud it just didn't work - was my first preference tho.

So saying, DH has snored so loud that i've slept in the lounge the last 2 nights! :wall:

We just had a family picnic in the park with my mother's group - 9 bubbas plus hubbies too. Was heaps of fun seeing how different all the babies are - we put them in a big circle & took piccies tehehe.

belfie - I don't think my bbs have changed. I got fitted late in pg too. At one fitting I was told a size that was too small and just really hurt me. At another fitting I was told a size that was too big but comfy. So that's the size I bought cos I was told my bbs would become heaps bigger when my milk came in. But they didn't.

kuraiza - Yeah I bought a couple of $10 clearance bras from Kmart - plus a couple of more expensive ones. Plus I bought a few of those Bonds singlets which aren't that cheap! Now I have to start from scratch. :(

Maya has been sleeping in our room all this time in a bassinet. But she's almost too big for it and a cot won't fit in our room. I actually don't like the idea of moving her to her own room. It's so convenient having her in our room cos I can hear her straight away when she needs a feed and I can just pick her up and feed her in bed while I snooze. When Maya moves I'll have to get up and retrieve her from her room to feed in bed which = me waking up more. And I already have lots of trouble getting back to sleep as it is. We also have the problem of a cat, so we can't leave her door open and I'm not sure how I will hear her unless she's screaming. I'm actually partially deaf so she'd really have to scream for me to hear her. Maybe a monitor is the way to go.

Tanya Julian sleeps in a cot in his own room with the door closed (otherwise older brothers like to play with cool toys) and we have our door open and I usually hear him when he wakes and as soon as he makes a cry I'm up and picking him up for a feed.

Belfie I've added to your overall obcession, I put some on layby at Big W yesterday and was thinking that you would love them, they are winter ones, so when I get them off layby I'll put them on him and put a pic in the gallery :). I've also got E sized boobs and it's a major pain to get a nice bra anywhere.

Kurazia not sure on another bub, I would like one more but will have to see what DH says, if so I wouldn't start trying until at least mid next year.

Julian has nearly got over his cold, so will have to take him to the Drs for his needles this week. He has his appointment at the physio tomorrow at 2pm for his torticollos, so will see how he goes then.
