Mmm Georgi bit concerned about you talking about vodka at 7am in the morning :0 LOL
Thanks - woohoo belfie on our beautiful, healthy, boobie lovin' little boys :)
Pretty goodnight - only 1 grizzle which eventuated into a 5am feed - but thats fine by me cos he went straight back to sleep ....
More later - busy - DH still away .....
YAY for 6 months! So far X has celebrated by spewing 3 times (I caught none of them, so 3 changes of clothes) and pooing out the side of his nappy! lol. Like a birthday girl, nothing less than 5 changes of clothes per day will do!
He says "happy half birthday Z!".
Mmm vodka (see, after 12pm, quite ok!)
Happy 6mths to Z & X.
Well I have spoilt myself with some of the Krudd money and got myself a BB life membership and will be getting my hair cut tomorrow, yay. Not much else going on, Julian is still rolling heaps, he has his physio check up on Friday, so fingers crossed that it is getting better.
hugs xoxo
lol well X has finally started on solids! We went to a council-run session today and the woman seemed a bit freaked out when I said we hadn't started yet lol! I swear X coulda done the "sitting panda" move on 'em all, he was much bigger :rolleyes: but when I explained that we'd waited due to allergies/eczema she got off my case a bit.
So anyways, was gonna start with avocado but they weren't ripe yet, so tried farex instead. He swallowed a smidge. Spat out more, made the poison face (soooo funny) and all in all, much fun was had by all!
AmandaJ - congrats on your life membership, that's great!!! And nice work on the haircut too.
any of you girls interested in the meet up of the June long weekend?? It is in Melbourne...we are having a a night out of dinner/drinks & bowling HEAPS of Belly belly members...
c'mon Belfie!!! and anyone one else that is in melb/anywhere for that matter!!!
Happy Belated 6 months Xander and Zander. :)
belfie - How's your DH going? I know how you feel having to do everything. That's what my weekend was like! Thankfully my DH is better now.
Yesterday I woke up with a really bad neck. :( I must have slept wrong. I was in so much pain I eventually got DH to come home so that I could go to the osteo. After that I was so much better but today I've woken up in agony again! I think from the treatment. It's so hard looking after Maya on my own when I'm not 100%.
I had Maya weighed again today and she put on 100 grams in a week!! :dance: The MCHN is really insisting I start solids. I thought BM and formula had more fat in it though and she'd be better off taking more feeds rather than starting solids. But the MCHN seems to think Maya would put on more weight if she'll eat solids. This is so confusing. :doh:
Tanya - she might not even be ready so how can the MCHN say that!! Appalling I think.
What I mean is - I thought Zander had all the ready signs - but he still has the tongue thrust reflex a bit - and honestly is not interested - so you never can tell until you try .......
No time for more - DH still away so mornings (actually, all day) is very chaotic but I did get to a ABA meeting yesterday and the topic was BLS - but I had to leave to get school run - so will borrow the DVD they have :D - going out for lunch with a friend today :)
Oh Kat, I've had my head under a rock, I'll check it out... soon soon, sounds fun!
Tanya - thanks heaps - i'm still flat out. So sorry to hear about your neck sounds VERY ouch! And i totally agree re it being hard when you're not 100% yourself. In the end I put in the call to the in-laws yesterday... I had to get the car to the mechanic for a roadworthy, vaccum, grocery shopping, bath X, feed, express, clean up kitchen, hang out washing, mow lawn, put rubbish out... well you get the idea. So they came & helped (not to mention dropped me at mechanic's for the car pick-up). It was a godsend, I'm so lucky to have 'em. DH had an xray on his back and we're waiting to see if it's anything more than "just" muscular. Finger's crossed hey. At least he can actually sit & feed X now which he couldn't do before.
Lol so funny I was so proud I'd done 2 loads of washing by 10am the other morning... but i didn't get 'em hung out until 11pm! :rofl:
Sam - interesting re the solids isn't it! X isn't too fussed with it either
How's everyone else going? It's been quiet in here.
c'mon Tanya, Belfie, Hollye.... you girls have got to come to the melbourne meet up!!! i am flying down from Sydney :) would be good to have a little meet up of some of our belly buddies.
well i have come to the point where Jack gets put to bedasleep..then maybe after an hour or so he wakes..BUT i just let him cry and put him self back to sleep...doesn't take long at all!! not even 10mins :)
he is getting up on his knees now which is funny to watch... and the new found noise of sticking ones finger in his mouth and blowing raspberries and spit everywhere!!!
Sami - Yeah my MCHN is annoying me at the moment. She's convinced Maya will put on loads of weight when she starts solids. But how does she know that? Maya could turn out to be just as fussy with solids as she is with BM!
belfie - Hopefully your DH's xrays results come back OK. That's so great that your ILs can help. I'm looking forward to moving and having my family around to help! It's so hard on my own - specially on days where I am not 100%! And I feel like I can't keep solely relying on my DH for everything.
katones - I haven't heard much about the catch up. At the moment I don't have the head space to consider it. Once I've moved I'll try and find out more about it!
Yesterday I decided to give Maya a piece of apple to suck on. I thought for sure she'd hate the taste but she seemed to love it! I don't know what that means in terms of starting foods though. Cos she didn't eat anything, just sucked the juice out. I think she still has the tongue thrust so I don't know if she'd be able to eat anything yet. Also I feel like I don't have time at the moment with all the packing and sorting out movers, cleaners, etc I have to do! We're moving in a couple of weeks so maybe I will wait till then to start solids.
Not much going on here, I took Julian for his check up at the physio this morning and his tilt has got better, but she is a bit worried that he isn't using his right hand very much, so we have some more exercises to do and have to go back after easter for another check-up. As for easter we've done all the shopping and have got everything for the boys and a very cute bunny for Julian.
Got my hair done yesterday arvo and I look decent again.
Tanya I wouldn't stress to much over solids and really the MCHN shouldn't be forcing her views on you, you know your baby better then her, so you start when you think Maya is ready, and if it's after you move then so be it.
hugs xoxo
Jack is getting so frustrated...only moving backwards...me...well i end up trying NOT to laugh at him....
we have.....
COMMANDO CRAWLING !!!!!!!
Soooooooooooo funny!!!!
belfie - found out on friday Mia has Excema (sp). is there anything that im not doing that i should? she had dermaid cream, sensitive washing powder, QV bath oil.....
Hollye - hijacking here :)
My first 2 had bad eczema - Zander seems to escaped it thank goodness.
Sensitive washing powder - not Lux - I found the sensitive flared my kids patches up even more so just watch for any reaction. Other thing to be mindful of too is making sure she is in 100% cotton most of the time so her skin can breath, making sure she doesnt get overheated - better for her to be a bit cooler and you can add a layer rather than too heavy and hot clothes-wise, dont keep your house too clean with sprays and stuff LOL - orange spray cleaner or something like that if you use it for benches, not spray & wipe etc - QV is good, we have used AlphaKeri and Hamiltons also both bath oils and lotions - try not to bath her too often so if you have incorporated a bath into a bedtime routine, try every 3rd night for a bath, and just put a massage with lotion in where bath should be .... Gotta take G to calisthenics - if I think of anything else I will pop back
again sorry to hijack :redface::redface: where abouts does she have it??
I steamed pumpkin and zucchini fingers for Z last night and I think he might of actually swallowed some too lol. He was keen so maybe he just needs real food hey! Upside, my DD who never eats pumpkin, thoguht the pumpkin fingers lookd yummy and cos Zander was eating them - she ate 3 thick fingers too :D:D
:yeahthat:
lol nice hijacking - agree with most :p of that
for us, the laundry detergents didn't seem to make discernible difference - we use Omo for normal washing and Amolin for nappy flats/towels (anything he lies on nekkid basically).
re moisturisers, we had recommended Dermeze (paraffin-type very greasy) and Dermaveen (just the normal lotion not hte eczema - oatmeal based, more of a lotion). The Dermeze seems to do much more for his dry skin than the Dermaveen which I think is a bit more anti-inflammatory but just doesn't do as much for him. We use QV bath oil in the bath (tried a sample of a dermaveen wash, wasn't as good for us).
We were also prescribed two cortison creams - Celestone-M for his body (but not in the "folds") and Dermaid for the face (use sparingly). Nowadays his is mostly in his little fat creases (knees, ankles, elbows) which is a pain cos we can't use the Celestone there anyway. So, I also bought some moogoo which seems to work just as well in the creases (given we can't use the cortisone in the creases) so I now use a combo of moo goo and the creams above (IMO the moo goo is a bit more expensive tho). I also tried "medihoney" eczema cream as I'd heard good things but it did nothing for X. I have also tried eczema shield (a probiotic) and additional fish oils - both of which maybe helped a little. Depends how bad she is too. The key is definitely moisturise, moisturise, moisturise - we do every feed (head to toe) and he only gets bathed once a week (he gets very grumpy/itchy after baths).
Definitely agree with SamH re cotton clothes. I have a heap of those polyfleece kinda blankets all sitting in the cupboard not being used. X seems to be a very hot sleeper so cotton layers work a treat.
Oh and I don't htink my house is too clean either mwahahaha.
GL with it :hug: I know I was really upset when X first got it, but now like anything, we've learned how to best manage it. I hope it's not bothering her or you too much. Mwah.
We tried X on some avocado yesterday, seemed to like it much more than the farex (well there was less of the poison face!), so will be interesting to see how today goes. Nice work with Z on the pumpkin too!
and Kat - :rofl: on the commando crawling, that's great! tehehee.
Amanda - Thanks. Actually I find a lot of people are telling me to start solids to help Maya put on weight. I am ignoring them though! That's great that you got your hair done. I can't wait to get mine done again. :)
katones - You'll have to tape Jack's crawling. :)
On the weekend I decided to try giving Maya some solids. I tried cooked apple because she seems to love sucking on raw apple, but nope she doesn't like the cooked apple in her mouth. I also tried some rice cereal mixed with BM and nope she doesn't like that either. I'm glad I tried it because now I can tell the MCHN that I tried. But I'm not going to push her to eat. I know she'll eat when she's ready. :)
Yesterday we picked up the keys to our new place. So now the countdown to moving is on.
:hello: Very quiet in here.
Just thought I'd pop on to say that other people are able to hold Maya now! :dance: For about 5 to 10 minutes. But that's so good! Before she'd cry the second I passed her over to someone else. I'm hoping that means she's growing out of it and other people can hold her (and then mind her ;).
belfie - I wanted to ask a probably dumb question but I honestly have no idea. I know you are still expressing and now I am trying to express a lot too to top Maya up after she's fed on the bb! (BTW it's such hard work expressing then feeding via bottles isn't it! I have a new appreciation for what you do.) Anyway.. I was wondering what do you do when you go out? Do you take EBM with you? If so how do you take EBM with you so that it won't go bad?
Hi to everyone else!
Hi everyone, my mum is down from Hervey Bay for about a week or so, it's going to be great having her here again...went and had lunch with DH toady at work which is really nice.
Tanya that's great that Maya can be held for 5-10mins, hopefully soon you will be able to go out by yourself.
Hi everyone else.
hugs xoxo
Amanda - that's awesome your mum is down - hope you have a lovely time.
Tanya - that's great re Maya being able to be held. X doesn't like his gramps (FIL) and usually cries when he holds him, so we're trying to get him used to him (as MIL has a bad shoulder). Re the EBM, not a dumb question at all! when I take EBM I do it either of two ways - if it's a short trip, my nappy bag has a little insulated section in the end, so it goes there. If I'm going somewhere for the day, i have a little cooler bag & freezer dooverlacky (proper word for those?) that i pop in with them to keep them chilled. Then I'd usually pop them in the fridge when I get to wherever I'm going. I remember on Xmas day I didn't want to freak out certain people in my IL family by putting my BOOBmilk in their fridge with THEIR food, so I actually kept it in the cooler bag and it seemed fine - nice & chilled (plus he drank it all that day anyway).
And remember, the ABA guidelines are: for freshly expressed milk, it can be stored at room temperature for 6-8 hrs (26C or lower). If refrigeration is available store milk there.
The next question is then how to heat it when you get there! Let me know if that's an query too!
Hope everyone is well! X's routine seems to be changing rapidly these days. He's awake for much more time (which is playing havoc with my expressing :rolleyes:) plus of course DH's back is still dodgy. Apparently is an inflamed disk according to GP. So 6 weeks apparently to fully heal. But I'm starting to get get organised (and realise I have to do DH's stuff - I kept forgetting to start with!) and my IL's have been helping so I'm very lucky there. Hope everyone is well!
We're back!!!!!
We had a wonderful break, cleared my head and feel much better...although I can't remember even telling you all what I was doing....I was pretty spaced out! Long story short, 2 weeks ago on Monday morning I woke up and knew that I was at that point where I needed a break and NOW. DH is wonderful but I needed time out particularly from the IL's so it happened to be the day before we got our KR money so I headed down to see mum for some R'n'R. Ahhhhh much better after some mummy time.
Although where has my little baby gone?? She has cut her first tooth!! At night will gum/play/suck about a tea spoon of rice cereal (I can't really call it eating!) she still wont roll front to back but pushes herself up on her arms lots, and yesterday sat on her own for a few seconds. I am proud of her but it seems like yesterday she couldn't even control her head!!! **Sigh**
Well I am stuffed from the trip today, Cairns to Sydney and then out to Newcastle is a LONG way with a baby and all the crap that comes with travelling like the giant suitcase!!
Welcome back Amy! Great to hear your trip went well and gave you some support. :hug:
And tooth, wow go Bethany! :cheer:
welcome home hun!!! glad you had a good break....
woo hoo goooo Bethany on the teeth front!!!! we have 2 sitting just under the gums..BUT they won't come through....
we are still commando crawling...and very successful moving backwards :rolleyes: and sitting for a while unaided :)
Jack has had the reddest butt for a while...i put it down to teething....
I went through my 'old' photos yesturday..and found 2 piccies of me as a bubba and OM F G!!!!! Jack is the spit out of my mouth!!!!
HI All,
Long time no chat too. Yet here I am again.
Welcome back Amy, I am glad you got some R & R in, and had a great time with your mum. Yay Bethany on your first tooth.
Katones - I am still crossing all fingers and toes that I get to make it tomorrow and meet up with you and the other girls. DD still sick, but I am starting to think that if she is still home tomorrow I will just bring her. I am sure she will enjoy it anyway. Woohoo little Jack on the commando crawling, what a clever little man.
Hollye - Sorry to hear about Mia's eczema, poor little thing. V had it very early on, but I would am expecting a flair up one day.
Tanya - All the best for your big move into your new home. I hope you build alot of memoral times there. hugs As for the solids, V is not all that fussed with it. So to help her get used to the taste as well as try and put on some weight, I put some farex in her bottle. So I guess we will see if she catches up to at least the 3rd percentile come her next pead appt. She did like some arrowroot biccies and milk today, didnt have much but opened her mouth up for more of that one. I tried her on the gel, omgoodness you should have seen her face, it was like I was giving her medicine. It was soo cute.
Amanda - I hope you have a wonderful time with your mum hun. Enjoy yourself. hugs
Belfie - Arent those faces they pull just sooo cute. V pulls it at everything I offer her. lol. Yet at least today she liked crushed arrowroot biccies in some milk without the face pulling.
Sami - How is everything going. Is DH home now? Glad Z Liked his pumkin and zuchini, well what he swallowed anyway. hehehe.
Well V is doing really well, doing really well with her rolling too. I often wonder if her first words are going to be Poo Poo's, as I always say that to her when I change her nappy and she babbles on saying something very similar to that. Then one morning she woke up chatting away to herself then she fluffed then all of a sudden you hear Poo Poo's, then that was it. :) Still probably a coinsidence but a funny one. I can just imagine her saying to me when she is older. Mummy what was my first word. Poo poo's. :D Not mama, not dada, but Poo Poo's. :lol:
OK I've done it.. I've finally done it.. I've made a hair appointment for Saturday! :dance: I'm so looking forward to it. :)
And today I made it to a mums and bubs session at the movies.
I'm so tired though cos Maya is suddenly waking a few times in the night again. :(
Amanda - That's great your mum is down. :)
belfie - Thanks for the info on carting around EBM! :) At the moment I can't keep up with her input so I take formula with me when I go out but at some stage I might have enough EBM to be able to take with me. Ohh.. heating the milk.. I hadn't thought of that. Although Maya will drink cold EBM, so maybe that's not something I need to worry about?! I hope your DH is feeling better soon!
amy - Welcome back. And wow.. first tooth! I thought Maya might have been teething because she's waking more in the night again and seems more unsettled. But now I think it's because she's hungry!
csab - Yeah Maya just isn't interested in solids at all. I've tried a few different foods now. I think what I'll do is just keep trying every now and then and give her different things to try. I think Maya is on the 3rd percentile for weight. I am now trying to get her up from there. But she doesn't look or act unhealthy at all. I think I'd just be happier if she was a bit chubbier. :lol: But maybe she's not meant to be a chubby bubby. :dunno:
Big hi to everyone - no time for all the personals.
Been awhile - but have read whats been happening! My DH has been away heaps so I have been pretty flat out. Zander still not really interested in solids, still has slight extrusion reflex and pincer grip still abit all over the place so I spoke to a MCHN and I agreed with the advice to let it go for another week and wait and see. I am still b/f so trying to keep things simple at the moment. He is sleeping crap during the day - actually no it seems that way but varies every day from 30 mins one nap to 1.5hrs the next etc - I have just learned to go with him and work around the pickups and dropoffs with school, and having a life - he doesnt get too cranky screamy when overtired so it is making it more bearable.
Giselle turns 4 next Thursday and I am in shock my little darling girl is growing up :( She still so little, but so damn clever lol. So her party is on Saturday with 16 other kids - man EVERYONE replied - you will find in future ;) always a few that cant come, and then a few who dont even reply, or do the night before etc (see, control freak I am) - but everyone is coming .... and then one of her little besties has her party on Sunday so it will be busy.
I have finished arranging Zander's baptism for 19/04 and found Riley's little suit thingie he had, and it fits Zander just without being too big so that is done also. In Ballarat so harder to arrange long distance - and i cant believe some family still said - oh yes I think we are free - man we are travelling down to make it easier for them!! But that is another thread altogether lol.
Went to movies also to see duplicity and i must of had a few less distractions than Tanya cos I got most of the plot and storyline :) I couldnt believe it though - there was like 40 babies there and a couple of toddlers too ... i went by myself and glad i did cos I couldnt have concentrated going with others anyway!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and keep posting :)
SAMI BJ is being Baptised, in Sydney, on June 14th. I'm going to buy him a little white suit. I found heaps on ebay for $50
TANYA Yay for the hair appointment. I'm still THINKING about it
CSAB Lol poo poo. Too cute. BTW, geez we've been having fun with the phone tag hey. I've had lots of visitors (MIL & BF from Sydney), but now they're gone so hopefully we can catch up over the weekend
KATONES Yay on the cammo crawling. I bet it's just so cute
AMY Welcome home! Hope you had a great time. Sounds like B is growing up very quickly. It's scary huh
BELFIE Gosh, I only know that sore back too well. Mine is still playing up. I also had buldging discs, 4 actually. Not nice at all. And good on you for still expressing. Wow, you're doing such an amazing job. You should be so very proud of that
KURAIZA I hope you're well, and Jude too!
AMANDA I bet it'll be wonderful to have you mum around. I hope she'll give you a nice little break from you're crazy boy filled household
HOLLYE Hope Mia's spewing settles for you. How awful
Well BJ woke last night at 3.30am & didn't get back to sleep till 5.10am Grrrrrr.... That's the second time in the last couple of weeks that he's done that. He doesn't get hysterical, just whingy.
He's now got two big bumps on his lower gums plu I can see 4 teeth through his bottom gums. Not sure how long these are gonna take to break through
He's also not fussed on rolling. He's rolling onto his sides, but not onto his tummy and rarely rolls from front to back.
I've had to cut back on his solids as he was getting disinterested. Plus he seemed to be going off his milk. He's back on his milk again, but still not fussed on the solids. I'm gonna give him another go today & see how he goes
My MIL was here for a couple of days & I was surprised how much BJ liked her. He has begun to cry when strangers hold him so I thought he would do the same with her as he hasn't really seen her that much. But no, he was really good. He must've remembered her
We're still doing our sleep/feed routine. It's going fairly well though he's not sleeping as well as he should be. I'm guessing he's going through a little growth spurt
Sami - Yeah I went with a friend to the movies and actually she interrupted my movie watching more than Maya did. First she arrived late so we missed the very start. And then she kept talking to me. Maya was OK except it took a little while to convince her to have a nap. I might try going by myself next time. It sounds like you're extremely busy but managing everything.
Georgi - Maya has also been waking up more suddenly! :doh: Happily she has been going back to sleep OK after a feed. But still it's hard getting up a few times in the night again. I could maybe try and resettle her but she's so tiny I don't want her to miss out on food if she's hungry! And usually she does eat a lot. I thought maybe teeth were coming but now I think she's just hungry and finally eating again and has a lot of catching up to do.
Today was my last yoga session. I'm going to see if there's yoga for mums and bubs where I'm moving to! I really enjoying doing it.
Today is also my DH's birthday. We're not going to do anything tonight to celebrate though. We'll wait and celebrate with family on Sunday.
And tomorrow is my hair appointment. :dance:
Have a good weekend everyone. :)
Testing ... not gunna risk losing post first .... :)
girls, please reset your moods.
i think everyone has already been told to reset their moods in the messages from bellybelly section :) https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-new-post.html
I'm happy my mood thing is gone now! I was stuck on HOT. :lol: It's now freezing here!
A quick me post cos I've got to head off very soon. Maya had her 6 month injections today and it went so much better than the last two. She barely cried at all went the needles went in and was happy as soon as it was over. The previous times she screamed and then kept screaming until I fed her. Today was a much nicer experience. :) Now I am just hoping that she doesn't have a bad reaction. :pray:
The annoying thing is that she has barely slept at all this morning cos the wait for vaccinations was so long! And now I have MG starting right now!! I really should skip it and let Maya sleep but they are having a going away party for me!! So I want to go. Maybe I can get her to sleep in a sling while there. Poor girl is not going to be happy later today.
OK.. gotta head off. BBL.
it won't let me reset my mood
nice to have BB back!
Quick me update...hhmm busy massaging lumpy boob. Just rang mum & asked her to come over & help out (she's down in Tas). DH back still bad (bit worse again actually) and I now need to get back to some bookkeeping and IL's are away for 10 days.... where's a clone cupboard when I need one?
thanks for nice comments re expressing. Was wavering in my determination but did some research over weekend and saw some interesting stuff re diabetes risk/gd and bf'ing, so renewed motivation to continue as long as I can - hopefully decrease risk of GD for next PG too.
oh and Georgi - FOUR bulging disks? Ouch, how on earth did you cope when PG???
Tanya- yaya for hairdo!
BBL gotta go out noww.
:hug: belfie sounds like you are going great dispite everything!! If I find a cloning cupboard I will let you have second go after me!!!!
yep they have, but i noticed not many ppl did in here.:
amy - its already done
Hollye - good luck at the RCH tomorrow, I hope you get some answers
Amy_o - lol that means we're really good, right? I mean, we want 2 of us... and yes, I think you're very generous with that cupboard tehehe :lol:
Tanya - that's great re the vaccination! X has his 6 mth one next Tues (we're running a bit late lol).
Georgi - I keep thinking I should call mine XJ instead of X... would match BJ hehe. Good luck with the teeth. We've got 2 bumps that I keep thinking are on the verge... then other days I think it'll be months yet. I'm intrigued re the solids. X is still not really into them at all, and some things I read suggest to give them a break... but then I'm not sure how long a break to do! So I'm still just offering him a bit each day. He'd be lucky to take a quarter of a teaspoon. At the moment he likes to take the food onto his tongue then just sticks his tongue right out to let the food drip/fall off... lol. So saying, he took a smidge more avocado than usual today...
SamiH - baptism not far away hey. good luck organising. Now you said that Z still has a slight extrusion reflex... how do you actually test/confirm this? I'm not really sure if X does or not? :dunno: does that make me clueless? Just re-read my post - it occurs to me that he probably does with that whole tongue sticking out thing. Mind you, he spends 50% of his waking hours sticking his tongue out and the other 50% blowing raspberries. It's hilarious.
Katones - lol that's too funny re Jack being spitting image. X looks nothing like me, my neighbour calls him Little Jon (that's DH - hmm is that breaking rules saying his real name? lol). How's the crawling going?
Csab - lol on V's first words being poo poos! too funny, I might have to start saying that to X.
I came across an unusual name the other day - Ysanna. I thought that'd be cool if I have a girl next... then I'd have X... Y.... lol might have to have 3 kids and finish off with a Z!!! :rofl:
Anyway, just finished my last express... hope your'e all having a good week, hi to all I missed.
Lucky you all mentioned the mood thing. I never look at that category & would never have known about it.
BELFIE XJ sounds like a luxurious car, actually, I think it's a jaguar lol. Yeah BJ went off his solids for a few days so I stopped all together, only for a few days, then he started taking them better than ever. Now he eats heaps & he's having more milk too, huh, who would know... I'm now starting to mix two foods & if you seen on FB, I am giving him strips of food eg cucumber & rockmelon. The cucumber he just chews on, but the rockmelon he downs it all. It''s so cute. Sounds like XJ is liking playing with the food. Thinks it's fun. There's nothing wrong with that. You might find that one day, suddenly he takes it all in & wants more. That's what BJ seemed to do. My back, funny enough, was excellent in pregnancy. Well for the 7 months anyway. Dunno how it would've gone if I had gone to term. I was still quite small so didn't have too much weight. All those relaxin hormones did my hips & back the world of good. But now.... Oooo no.. Terrible. I'm having some troubles but just trying to manage with walking & stretching.
TANYA Is Maya still waking for a feed?
Thankfully BJ is sleeping through EVERY night again. He seems to wake around 5.30am but plays in his cot till I go in to feed him at 6am. It'll be nice if he would sleep till 6am.
I wish this rain would stop. I've only managed a couple of walks this week & I'm feeling like an umpa loomper!
:rofl: oh I love that description, can I borrow it pls? tehehe:
And too funny re the jaguar... I don't think X is built for speed atm... oh and he took his avocado really well today - I think he actually swallowed a good tsp worth which is the most ever! Good on you for managing your back. DH is gonna be doing pilates once he's recovered a bit.
I got a new pic of X that i love, I stuck it in my sig.
Hmm I'm procrastinating now, the kitchen & washing are calling me (actually I think they're yelling!)... hop to it Belfie!
later gators.... hope you're all good.
Yayyyyy, BB is back, I've been having withdrawls, lol.
Tanya Julian and Maya must have been talking, he has started in the last week to wake two or three times at night for a feed, not on Jan.
Belfie what a cute pic, he looks so gorgeous.
Well it was good having mum down but she was only here for a while and it was way too short, hopefully it won't be long before I get to see her again.
Julian is having a bit of a problem with his teeth I do believe, as I said above, he's waking two or three times a night which he never does and won't go back to sleep with out boobie and the newest thing today is fighting all his sleeps so far he's only had one sleep today and I'm trying to get him to have a small nap before his dinner feed, I must admit I have no idea what is up. I can feel a lump where his bottom teeth are so hopefully it's just that and once they are through he will go back to sleeping as I'm soooo not use to getting up at night, lol.
Woohooo, look at my avvy, yay, I wish I was that hot.
hugs xoxo
