Tanya: I have a baby bjorn and it's not great. The shoulder straps just aren't adjustable enough and it's really hot and makes me sweat. A hug-a-bub is much much better on your back. A friend of mine has an ergo and loves it, I've only heard rave reviews about the ergo. Babes in arms sells it and their customer service is fantastic.
Jude didn't sleep so well last night, I nearly lost it. I was so tired and my boobs were out of milk and Jude just wanted to keep drinking so he was head butting me in frustration at 11pm and I just wanted my husband to give him formula so I could sleep. I feel terrible about how upset I got at Jude, yelling at him like it was his fault my boobs don't work.
Today I sat beside his bassinet and patted his nappy while I read him Russian folk tales so I could get him to go for 3 hours between feeds. He's been so demanding lately.
Kur - happy 2 months lol
on hotter days bub will drink more often (just as we do!)
Georgi - ethan wont take a bottle at all. think i will be selling all my bottles and steriliser now - didnt use them with ashley and now wont with ethan!

He is still sleeping from 10ish til 6/6.30am
He is going for his needles today at 10am.... then we are off to see poppy (its his b'day) and later this afternoon i have to take my dog (old girl) to the vets but am waiting to do that when dadda is home so i don't have to drag Jack and the dog along to the vet together.
We have gone up to 180mls at a time of formula.. although he doesn't drink all of it he trys damn hard!!! LOL
We are going great guns with our cloth nappies!!!! I love them
georgi! i am loving the outfit!! very cute.
I am still to sew something for ethan.. boys clothes as just a little bit too hard lol.
Kat - great sleeper there hon! i hope the needles go well. WE have ours on wed for both kids... fun fun
As for cloth DS slept 6 hrs in a Cute tooshies.. i am thinking i might get a few side snaps for sleep time as it maynot be as bad on his belly! i guess just spending the xmas bonus!
Ethan is awake now.. but ashley is still asleep! she must be tired from the weekend poor thing!
Hi everyone!! Did we all have a good weekend? Man it was hot and humid here but I could type that everyday for the next 4-5 months and that will get very boring!!
Had a great time a church Bethany slept the whole time which gave me a chance to catch up with the other ladies and kiddies, Baby Bethany as she is known is very popular with the kids and I need to provide a report each week on what she has been up too!! They want to know when she can start Sunday School. mmm lets wait for head control first hey?? Also got to catch up with and say good bye to a friend who is heading to Madagascar with her son and husband as missionaries. I admire thier courage, not for me I am afraid. It'll be tough on her and Charlie though going without the things we have here in Aust. I will have to keep my eyes out for boy stuff, he is 15mths so that would be about a size 1 yeah??
Busy busy week ahead here, must make time to rest!! Today we are meeting up with mothers group just at the local shops in doors and air con thank goodness!!
Tomorrow big shopping trip for christmas shopping, new bottles and other bits and bobs. I am taking Andrew's grandparents too cause they like to get out and don't drive. Also having Bethany's foot and hand mould done.
Friday is appointment with new psycharitist.....I hate new psycharitists, you have to start again so to speak. My psychologist will be there so that helps (yep they are different and do different jobs!)
And that is just what I know of this morning!!
Tanya~~ I LOVE my Ergo!!! Honestly it is the best thing. I use it all the time. Remember you need and infant insert until Maya is about 4-5 months. They can get a bit sweaty but it is all cotton so not really a problem. I love it for grocery shopping and just taking her out and about when I don't want to bother with the pram.
Katones~~ Good luck with Jacks needles!!
Bethany does the sleep whimpering too, the other night I had to keep getting up to give her back her dum dum but she was sound asleep the whole time!! (the dum dum was more so we could sleep with out wondering was she awake or what!!??!!)
Myabe the warmth making everyone sleep - my boy is still in bed at 9am!!! My other little boy DS1 is always awake by 7am - he got up at 8am today - he did have a party at a play centre yesterday arvo from 3.30 - 5.30 (weird time hey) - so maybe he was just exhausted. Giselle woke at 7.45 too - why can't they do this on the weekend?? Hubby home until lunch so he has taken Riley to school for me.
Zander woke at 4.15 for a feed and back in bed by 4.45 without complaint - he is sooooooo good overnight. He last fed at 6.30pm - if only he would wake for another feed at 9 - 10ish he would be sleeping through!! I might work up the courage to try and dream feed him - what do you girls think - leave it alone or try it and be prepared for a shocker night in case he wakes too much and gets upset???
belfie aka tech-queen how is Xander's eczema going?? Were you advised to use it for a week and clear it all up and then see what happens??
amy - dunno about sizes - my DS1 was in size 1 before he was 1 - but he was huge - I would go size 1 for now but if he is a big boy, he might need 2's by 20 months. We have only been to church twice since Zander was born - only cos I seem to run around after the other two and a bit hard with bubs too. We'll get there for Christmas Eve mass though LOL.
katones - hope needles and vets go well - bugger about the car though, I hardly hear a peep out of Zander - too much going on in my back seat
PP - I know what you mean, always one or the other! Maybe after the needles on Wed you should have that drink you posted in another thread What are you doing afterwards - play at the park, icecream???
Tanya - enjoy the extra pair of hands!
Gotta go - more personals later - need to have a coffee before Zander wakes, ...if he ever does ...
lol
