I little tip from my sister. She said if the needle site swells up then mix bicarb soda and water until it is a paste and put it on the site. She says its makes the swelling go down. Not sure if it works but i thought i would let u know.
Mia's great and im stll great. No real hassles here. She had another one of her "moments" lastnight that lasted for a few hours but it happens everynight so im getting used to it. She finally settled at 11:30pm and slept till 6am. so all good.
Belfie - i hope X's needles went well.. poor little bugger.
Curl~~ Feeling less stressed today thanks. I will have Bethany checked tomorrow, we have an appointment anyway with the baby care nurse. I am thinking it is just heat and humidity. It gets me so it must be tough when you are a baby.
Only got the vaccuuming done, to hard to mop, try again tomorrow! Did make an appointment with Twinkle Toes though to have Bethany's casts done. Looking forward to that.
SamiH~~ Saw your pics they are gorgeous!! You and DH make good looking kids!
Hollye~~ Glad things are good, keep up the good work!
Belfie~~ Hope vac's go ok, we do ours on Thursday... I'll be thinkin of you!!
teruteru - Welcome! What's your son's name? What 's his birth date?
Belfie - Wow.. 1/2 your Xmas shopping done is impressive. I don't think I'll be able to manage shopping with Maya. Yesterday I went to the nearby chemist with Maya and she started screaming and I couldn't hear myself think! I'm going to get DH to do the Xmas shopping this year.
curl - No Maya thankfully didn't get the gastro.
To everyone else: hello! I hope everyone is OK. There's been a few people MIA the last couple of days.
Itsme - So glad to hear that Maya didn't get the bug too! I like your idea of getting hubby to do the christmas shopping. My DH is useless at it though and would end up gettting nothing but gift vouchers for everyone including children! I hear you on baby screaming at chemist, Loralei has had a few moments like that when out and I quickly make my way to an area for a feed (5-10 mins tops!) and then she's settled again (usually). I've had a few people tell me that my baby is crying... derrr! I have ears and they work! What do they want me to do? Push the mute button? If only it were that simple. Besides when Loralei puts on a really good performance I always seem to be in a checkout queue and I can't whip a bb out then so she has to wait a bit.
Amy - I too only got the vacuuming done! Well half the house anyway the phone kept ringing and then the kids were demanding food (how dare they! LOL!).
SamiH - I looked at your pics too and agree that you made a beautiful baby. I finally put some pics on too for the first time.
teruteru - welcome and congratulations on the birth of your baby boy.
Well, I had a wonderful sleep again last night. Loralei went down at 9.30pm and woke at 6am! I am so loving the full nights sleep! She is sleeping again now and am hoping for a repeat performance tonight. Let's hope this is her new routine . Hubby comes home Thursday night and the girls have been counting down the days while he's been counting the hours! He will be home on holidays for just under 6 weeks over Christmas and I just know we will drive each other mental. I'm so used to doing everything and being able to have the lounge room to myself (read: in control of tv etc) and he'll want to watch the cricket () and hog the wii (love wii fit!). I won't want to be doing the wii fit while he's around because I'm self conscious about such things so I'll have to change my routine and do it in the mornings when he's still asleep.... basically reality has hit me and I'll have him underfoot. That said I am really looking forward to having him home with us. I'm so pleased his official posting has come through and as of Feb he won't be at sea for 2 years.
Curl - OMG at people telling you your baby is crying ! that's hilariously stupid!!! Oooh and I keep meaning to start doing Wii Fit! Tomorrow tomorrow...
SamiH - oh I am SO proud, it's like I have a second child! ok so maybe not, but well done on uploading some pics such a gorgeous collection of kiddies you've got there!
Itsme - that's so hard when she cries! Does it make a difference if she's in a harness or stroller? X always goes to sleep very quick in the stroller which makes it sooo much easier!
amy_o glad to hear you're feeling a bit better & always nice to get some reassurance when seeing the nurse
teruteru - g'day and welcome
Hollye - luckily didn't need the bicarb tip, but thanks anyway (maybe others will find it handy).
Was fascinating going for the vaccination - big hall full of bubbas, kids, prams & parents! Had lovely chats with various mums sitting near me (as you all realise, me being the shy retiring type that I am... ). X was GREAT! He is such a little legend. Screwed up his little face & cried a smidge (after sleeping the whole time we were waiting, and waking up at 7.15am to feed JUST when I wanted him to, for good timing). He'd already stopped crying by the time I stood up, and was asleep again within 2 mins. He's been fine all day - if anything a bit sleepier than usual - all feeds have been 4-5 hourly and he's been very settled (and we were out at very noisy BBQ tonight - lotsa young kids there). I was warned by DH's work colleagues to panadol beforehand, but I didn't, and I'm glad I didn't as he didn't seem to need it at all.
Amy_o, good luck with your vac on Thurs, hope it goes as well as ours did.
Awww fanks everyone, of course I think my kids are cute too
curl - IKWYM - whenever my DH goes away for an extended time, the adjustment period is always hard - like, no, I NEVER put that there so don't - do it my way or maybe I am just not as patient as you ....
belfie - yeah I found Zander slept alot on the day of his needles, and glad to hear your little one didn't get a sore tummy. My other two didn't have rotavirus (wasn't in the schedule) I think that is why I was probably more observant than previously. Glad you are proud - yeah life sure is a juggle sometimes with priorities with 3 kiddies
Holly - love your new avvie
teruteru - welcome to BB = look forward to chatting with you
Itsme - sometimes it just seems easier to stay home doesn't it! I had one of those days today - but I did get to wrap all our christmas pressies for the kids so I feel I have achieved something
amy - Bethany is just doing the girl thing already and keeping you on your toes! Hope your appt tomorrow goes well with the nurse.
I am a bit peeved cos it is 12.50am - Zander woke at 12 and I thought the clock said 2 and I just got up and fed up, if I had of known it was 12 I would have tried giving him a dummy first - now I will probably have a 5am feed which means not worthwhile going back to bed afterwards with school and everything. Oh to just have a baby again LOL - nah, wouldn't have t any other way of course .... except maybe on Sundays ... a biiiiiig sleep in would be noice But I DO NOT want to go back to 2 feeds a night again - how selfish am I hey!
oooh how annoying on the 12 am feed! I'm sending good vibes that you ain't sitting feeding atm, but are happily still in bed snoozing away! Clearly I'm not still snoozing.. but his last feed was at 8.30pm last night so that's just dandy
