Lol amandaJ.....it is like he is dying....he went to the Drs...but Dr didn't give him anything.... i am booked in for my 6 week check up and i have a mole on my BB that is VERY dark.... Boooked Jack in for monday for his jabs
katones: probably just got a bit stretched and is nothing to worry about - the mole. my freckles and moles on my body have gone nuts during and since pregnancy.
my hubby had gastro after i had it. he got to sleep in bed for 3 days straight. i had to remind him that i had to look after crying jude the whole time i was sick so he should get up and help out if he was home from work. i was not impressed.
jude has stopped being soothed by stroller walks. i think it's too hot outside.
Yep, I grew a wart on my chest during preg - nice hey - had to have it burned off - ouchie, but gone now - never had one before - preg does strange things to your body ...
Like curl, I just don't get the chance to really exercise for the past six months, and feel crappy. I try to get out on the 2 day care days I have for DD, but Zander hasn't taken to sleeping soundly in the pram, and trying to power walk and push a baby and toddler in the pram is hard work so after 15 minutes I feel stuffed. I just like the idea of Wii - anything - to do something at home whilst the kids are playing/asleep etc - at least once we get the trampoline I can jump on too!
Short and sweet - Zander is shakin' it up and only wants to catnap today
PP - I have used that with all my kids - it's good for them to learn what comes next, helps them settle so much better. I would also add - if wake after only 1 sleep cycle to keep trying to resettle in cot/bassinette until they have been there for a minimum of 1 hr. SOunds tough, but after a couple of goes they get to predict you will come in and pat/dummy/touch/ssshhh (whatever you do) and then they have to go back to sleep again. If they just look up at you and are not crying, I don't get them up, tell them still sleep time and walk out. Doesn't work for all of course!
Zander seems to give this little 3 second cry/talk when he has had enough awake time - it's like he is saying - wrap me up, I'm tired and want some sleep - it's not continuous - unless I don't catch it and don't respond quickly enough.
The only time I find it is hard to get it to work is late arvo, but then that time of day is ok if the day has gone well
His awake time limit is around 1hr - 1hr15 at the moment. Of course when we are out it tends to stretch a bit more, but you can see he just wants to go to sleep - especially on school drop offs if I don't time it with his awake time his little eyelids just wanna close getting dragged in and out of the car.
Maya had her vaccinations this morning! She's 7 weeks and 6 days but they don't seem to go on exact months in Melbourne. I decided to get them done through the council and I'm so glad I decided to arrive before the start time. I ended up being about the 10th person in the queue and by the time I was leaving there were about 50 people waiting around!
Anyway, watching her have the shots was tough! She absolutely screamed when the needles went in. Poor darling! Then I had to wait around for 15 mins to make sure she didn't have any allergic reactions, so I popped her on the boob and she settled very quickly and fell asleep. She woke when I left and since coming home I've fed her, had a play and put her in bed. So far everything seems to be ok!
teruteru - I think sleeping baby photos are cute! So either way I'm sure you'll have great photos.
PP - I hope your routine goes well today!
Amy - I hope Bethany's vaccinations go well today!
Anyway, Maya's waking now so I'm off.. Hello to everyone I missed!
Rough night here last night, lots of wind and tummy pain ended up sticking her in the bath at 11pm so that helped but I am stuffed after 2 bad nights. However a few glasses of Coca cola later and of course the trip for the dreaded shots I think I can string a sentence together.
Bethany went well too. Cried with the needles but fell asleep soon after. Infact we had to wake her up with a needle to have the drops. So instead of the drops first then 2 needles she had needles drops needles. I told her that for being such a good girl she can spend the day on the lounge with me watching Anne of Green Gables....I am not sure who that is rewarding actullay. So far so good, just a bit red on her little legs.
She stired before and I changed her but she wasn't really interested in her bottle. She'll eat when she is hungry we are inside in the cool but if she hasn't had anything in a bit I will try and get some fluids in to her even if it is just water. Aww the little possum is sleeping again.
Must organise the christmas card list and gifts today...I need to know what I am doing...Did the little postcard thing of Bethany's christmas shots, very cute even if I did it all myself at home, I should try and scan it in so you can see it too.
Brain and fingers aren't working together and this is hard work so back to Anne I go but I will come back later...
itsme~~ glad Maya went well
Umm not sure whatelse I missed!
should have shared the kmart info earlier, DH works there we knew on monday they would go on sale today...oopps...will keep all the lovely BB ladies informed of Kmart sales from now on! Clothes are marked down too. 0000-16 kids, 30 odd percent I think...
Kuraiza - love the reason for the name, that's so cute! Plus I always thought it was a nice "handle"
amy_o - love Bethany's reward for the needles!
Itsme - sounds your needles went well too! I didn't get any further reaction with X, but I did check his temp just to be sure.
We just got back from the osteo... Xander has loosened up (he was tight all down one side, thought to be not helping with BF'ing and his snorting) so that was good.
I just had naughty lunch on the way home ... KFC chippies and softdrink... mm yum. Then I was thinking right I should eat something healthy now i"m back. I look in the freezer and see the mini-magnum's i bought. Ooooh! I figure DH has mini-me in Xander... so Mum needs a mini-something too right? I think i'm scared my GTT will be positive so I'm putting off having it, and keep eating junky in case I can't anymore. hmm probably not the healthiest way to do things! Have ta get back to the Wii Fit.
To those with DH's with man-flu... lol aren't they just hopeless!
Anyway time for me to express! Or as DH says "pump it hottie".
(oh and couldn't resist uploading a pic of one of my furkids - she loooves the near empty peanut butter jars... teheh
belfie~~ She loves it! Was worried that I had left it so long to introduce her to the wonders of Anne and Gilbert...oh well better late than never!! she is watching from her rocker now. (just to reasuure I haven't plonked her in front of the telly!! She is actually looking out the window but she can hear it in the background!)
Yesterday it took from 4:30pm to 10:30pm to settle Mia. She was not a happy little chappy and the bad mother that i am i have no idea why. Im thinking it may have been wind mixed with being overtired. Getting some of that Infacol u all rave about today.
anyway no personals.. got housework to do as shes just gone down for a sleep.
You are NOT NOT NOT a bad mum Hollye, we had the same night. I need to get new bottles for Bethany to help her wind.
You are NOT alone and you are NOT a bad mum!!!
