Belfie: You should continue to celebrate your baby's achievements. I wish it gave me hope but since every baby is different I don't have any clue if/when Jude will start sleeping longer at night, but that's my problem not yours.
Sami: I hope it's easier for me next baby, although at this point in time I can't fathom another child. Maybe after I get some sleep ... in a few years time. By the way, I'm older than my chronological age. I feel 100 some days.
Itsme: I know, Maya's the same as Jude. Maybe one day they'll meet and it will be destiny They have the same personality!! Be proud that you've made it to your mother's group. So far I've missed every single meeting, but mostly because I have doctors appointments at the same time. This week I thought I'd make it but again I missed it. That's ok, I want to join the new group starting in January so I can be there for the entire set. Hopefully there'll be some more babies Jude's age and I didn't miss my chance.
Teru: The paediatrician told me that some places want the baby to be 2 calendar months old (not 8 weeks) so I have waited for Jude's immunisation until next week, he'll be 2 months and 1 day. I'm not looking forward to it but at least my husband will be there with me.
PP: If you find time to bake a pavlova you should get a big gold star!
I tried to do some christmas shopping on Monday but Jude wasn't happy about it, so I bought just 1 gift for my sister in England. Hope it's not too late and it will get there on time. I just wrapped it with Jude in a baby bjorn squirming around and making it almost impossible to even cut the wrapping paper, so I just tore out a chunk out tied it around the gift with some tape. Lovely. Now I have to make sure I get to the post office today. I'm not loving Christmas right now.
In ACT they go by calendar months too so teruteru I would just check again just so you don't go to the effort of getting there and they turn you away??!!
I know for Zander's 4 months, the appt they had was ONE DAY shy of being 2 calendar months since his 2 month ones and they wouldn't let me book that appt.
RE Immunisations - Maya's having her shots a day before she turns 8 weeks. My MCHN picked the day so I assume it's fine. I'm just getting it done through the council, though I may decide to book into a doctor next time if the wait is too long!
Sami - We've got a Wii but not the Wii Fit. I love playing the Wii, but I haven't played it since Maya was born.
Hollye - My name is Tanya. When I signed up heaps of variations of my name were already taken so I tried Itsme (as in It is me) and obviously that wasn't taken. I'm not sure if I really like it now because it doesn't identify with me at all really, but I guess it's whom I'm known by now on BB and I'm not sure if I can change it?
After the mother's group meeting today someone suggested going to the pub! So it was Maya's first trip to a pub! It must have been a sight to see - a bunch of mums with babies and prams in the pub!
teruteru - that means you, me and kur have triplets lol!
the usually immunisation problem with doing it early isnt so much bub but medicare wont pay for it if it isnt on or after the date. if you dr is happy to hold off before they lodge that they gave the shots it will be fine.
both mine are booked in for the 1oth next week. that will be an experience
kur - no pav yet... might have to do on the weekend... didnt realise you have to cook for 2.5 hrs... so need dh here. but i will endevour to make rumballs...
well i have put ds asleep on his back tonight... will see how the evening goes.
DH is out playing squash and i am about to have dinner by myself (now that both kids are in bed!)
as for wii fit. we have one. it is great but honestly dont get the time to use it
Wii Fit - we got it while I was preggers (read: waaay too paranoid to do it) so I've only done a few of the exercises. DH loved it initially but I notice the first rush of enthusiasm seems to have worn off and he hasn't used it for some time (funny hey!). So saying, I'm really keen to use it again now - and I'm going to do it in a sec... re benefits - more core strength than real cardio IMO but beneficial from the point of view of keeping you focussed on doing what you can/healthy active lifestyle etc. I'd still want to do walking/jogging/cycling or whatever to supplement. I want to lose about 10-12 kilos and I'm hoping between Wii Fit, walking & expressing I'll get there!
Oh and I thought it was about $120 mark? Mebbe it's cheaper now.
My other major excitement - returned my hire pump, as my Medela Pump in STYLE (said in best Tyra Banks fashion) has arrived!!! It is SO cool - fits very neatly in the backpack with all the bits & pieces... woohoo! Xandy's milk factory is GO!
Itsme a.k.a. Tanya... um what about your fave colour with your name? I was greenbelfie on something.
Kuraiza
Oh and while names are being talked about I'm really Bella, but Belfie is nickname/pet name among privileged few so I like using it here - like my alter ego really. I still remember vomiting at 2am one night (food poisoning) and just hearing my DH exclaim in horrified tones as he realised I was sick "oh Belfie!". It was very cute.
Ok must go express. And hopefully Wii Fit. (or in my case Wii Unfit... haha).
Hello one and all
I am curious about this 8 wks verses calander months now! Bethany is booked in tomorrow morning I guess I can check it out when I get there and well if I have to do it another day I rebook. Thankfully the GP is just down the road.
We had a busy day today we went out and I finally got my bounty bags. Pretty cool I thought.
Oh we saw the nurse today, wouldn't you know it she feed like 200mls right in front of her. Talk about being a girl and changing her mind!! Been better today. Must have been a phase. Isn't it a bit early for phases??!!?? Not a great weight gain again, still just under the 25% line on the graph so we are ok for now. I think I will buy some new bottles next week and see if that helps with the wind and then we might be able to go up to the 180mls she should be having now she is 8 wks.
Well I am tried, missy was awake lots last night. Hopefully a good one tonight. Kuraiza I know how it is hard, we are still struggling on here, I am glad I watched the videos on tried signs and the like. Bethany isn't there yet but I am glad I am trying self settling. Well my version anyway which is a bit "softer"! Although I'll tell you a secret The frist few nights I would go in to settle her and leave and she would keep waking up...I was so focused on tired signs and her sleep I forgot about hunger!!!! Talk about silly. I think I have it sorted now, well for tonight atleast.
Oh and Bethany found her hands today...well I noticed today! She watches them and see if she can wack things with them, pretty cool Then smiles and says look what I have. Then she gets excited to see the other one. very cute!!
Hellos to everyone else, bit brain dead tonight sure I have other things to say!
Thanks SamiH.. i didn't even think of that...might just tell hubby i will take DS first thing in the morning....will talk to him tonight about it.
Well i got the christmas tree up today...Jack slept through the whole event and is asleeep still now.. so i am about to try and get dinner on the go....
