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!!??!!)
A big hello to everyone else!!
Have a great Monday!!

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??? :wall:
belfie aka tech-queen :rofl: 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 :rolleyes: 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 :juggle:
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:
-
Sami-H lol... how about a drink in the park! lol :)
-
Georgie - Almost bought one of those outfits for Olivia the other day, it was for the little bubba girls one. Size 4 zero's, would have been sooo cute, yet as it didnt have the headband with it decided not to get it, as it was the last one too. Ohhh well. I just love how well Byron is doing. hugs
Kuraiza - I am glad Jude is taking the formula from the bottle for you as well as BFing him. Its nice when the DH's can help out and have that one on one with the little ones. That is another reason I want Olivia to take a bottle every now and then so DH can have time with her, and not just when she is asleep after a feed etc. hugs
Well must go Olivia is calling.
-
Jack has been very unsettled since his needles but was all smiles for his poppy...
he is asleep on my knee right now , due for his bottle at 2 :)
He screamed for the oral drink part of it...til i shoved his dummy in his mouth :) then screamed again for both needles :( i felt like a horrid mum :(
-
KAtones... when ashley got her 1 month shots she moved suddenly and the nurse missed and so she had a puncture wound and they had to try again!!!! so stabbed 4 times for 3 immunisations...
i wonder if she will remember when we go in on wednesday...
should i do her or ethan first ahhhh
-
PP You should do her first, that way she won't know it's coming. Gees you're keen sewing clothes. I wish I could sew.
KATONES I think Byron was really unsettled after his shots. I also think that drink thing gives them the bug a bit. Byron got real spewy for a few days after. I take my hat off to anyone using cloth nappy's. I won't go near them lol
CSAB Nice chatting to you today. Will have to do it more often
SAMI I have tried dream feeding Byron but it doesn't seem to make him sleep longer. I'll dreamfeed him if his last feed was 5.30ish, feed him around 10pm but he wakes at 2/3am every time. So now I just try to get his last feed around 7/8pm so he'll definately sleep through till 2am if not the whole way. I reckon you should try it though. Some babies it works for
AMY It's hard to determine the sizing of boys but you're probably safe getting a size 1. Is he a normal size for a 15mth old?
BELFIE Thanks for that. I'll try it next time. The santa suit was from Big W. So cute aye.
HOLLYE How's that sunburn?
KURAIZA I hope Jude slept better last night
TANYA I have a baby bjorn, I really like it. It doesn't hurt my back at all, though I do get very hot
BBL

kuraiza & amy - Thanks for the ergo suggestion. I actually was going to get an ergo but a friend of mine bought one and didn't like using it with the infant insert so she got a hug-a-bub for her new born and loves it. I do love my hug-a-bub. It's easily adjustable and I feel like Maya's close to me and she does like being in it. But it does hurt my shoulders after an hour or so.
Georgi - Byron is so cute in his Santa suit. :)
katones - Maya would scream every time I took her in the car too. Then I realised she was always sweaty when we arrived somewhere, so now I open her window and she seems happier. She still cries sometimes, but not every time now!
PP - Poor Ashley getting jabbed four times. :( It was hard enough watching Maya getting jabbed two times! Maybe Ashley should go first cos she'll understand what's going on, but Ethan won't.
Maya had her hip ultrasound today and her hips are fine! I knew they would be but took her to her appointment anyway just in case. Tomorrow she has her 8 week check up.
I've also uploaded some new pics: here and another one here.
-
Georgi - it is my little bit of sanity for all those times i just 'cant get out of the house' lol
Sami - Dreamfeeds never made a difference to ashley nor ethan for us either!
Tanya - great news for maya! you must be happy for the confirmation!
Well i am off to eat rumballs lol

hey
Mia had a rough night lastnight. She had an upset tummy and was spewing all night the poor darlin. SO im buggered and shes buggered and as a result had a pretty average day.
Had her check up today and she is now 4.7kgs! yay! For everything she is smack bang on the 50th percentile except her height. Thats at the 35th i think so shes still a little short. At the end of the day i have one very average bub so nothing exciting there. My MCHN is sending me to see a counciler as im abit depressed. More of its in my head. Its not so much just the hard work its the whole BFing thing that is doing my head in and with it being 12 months on friday since my dad passed away, i just need to get back in the right head space. It will be nice to talk to someone i think. My mothers group starts on the 15th January woot woot! i cant wait.
Went and got some aloe vera spray from the chemist for my sunburn.. feels a little better.
sorry no personals.. have to find something to eat for tea and then its an early night here i think.
-
PP - i will have to check your spelling after the shots and the visit to the park ;) Riley would dream feed beautifully but Giselle would purse her lips and nothing was getting for the dream feed - so that didn't work!!
Georgi - yeah, when Zander is asleep - he is asleeeeeeep. Riley was a big boofa baby and was always ready for a feed - I think I will leave it for another couple of weeks and see what happens - can't complain about 4am really at 10 wks old :rolleyes:
tanya - glad the hips are fine - best to check them out than not (links not working??)
katones - how is he doing now???
ok - testing out this smile!

pretty good day here all round, out about about most of the morning. Mothers group met for coffee at one of the shopping centers. indoors and air con this time!! Then I went and had a heap of blood tests taken, got a sore bruise now. Basically since then we have been home in the cool, although we lost power for about an hour earlier, it came back thankfully would have been a long hot night otherwise!!
I am sure there are personals to write but I am heading to bed for an early one...
Tomorrow is another day! Wish me luck I am going to try and do all my christmas shoppping!!
-
Evening all,
PP was great meeting you and Ashley and Ethan and Nic too, hopefully next time I won't have all the boys to over whelm Ashley. Yeah shopping was good, but my migraine made it a quick outing.
Well I've a busy weekend, on Saturday I had to take Cody to the hospital as he had swallowed a toy whilst playing with Wyatt in their room, was bloody scarey he came out coughing and gagging, so DH put him over his knee and whacked in between his shoulder blades and it must have loosened it and it went down instead of out 3hrs later after xrays, got told it will pass in a few days. Then yesterday he got a temp, which Wyatt had earlier in the week but no other symptoms so panadol and early to bed with him and me. I had a really bad migraine so was in bed by 8:30 and slept until 4:20 when Julian woke for a feed then back to sleep until 7:30 was great and no headache.
We had our playgroup break up today was great lots of fun for the kids and mums and santa even came and gave the kids pressies, it was great we had it at a local park and the kids just went wild on the play equipment and we got home at 2:30 so was a big day. Then tonight we walked around the neighbour hood to look at the chrissy lights.
Have read all posts but a bit time poor, so will try personals later or tomorrow.
hugs xoxo

Jack was VERY fidgety last night but still slept all night til 6.30am :D and was in cloth again last night.
Do any of you girls live in sydney?? so i can meet some of you?? and have a get together?? i am jealous of all you QLD girls....
-
Im jealous of the BRISBANE girls too. Come down to the goldy pleeeeeaaase...
I didn't get a chance to share something with you all yesterday. Warning TMI>>...
Well, Sunday night I woke up around 3am & found my pj shorts to be quite soiled. I thought I'd peed myself until I felt 'down there' & realised it was thicker than wee. I went to the toilet & wondered what was going on... I was wondering what the heck was going on. It was kinda like my waters broke again lol (but not so much)... Anyway, I had to wear a panty liner all day & found later that day to have lots of EWCM. I mean heaps of it. I guess I am O'ing. Gosh, lucky we used a condom a couple of days prior. I hope I don't get AF in two weeks. Could it be too soon? Has anyone else experienced this in the past????
My goodness, Byron is sitting in his rocker & I can hear the explodapoo's coming out. I'm in for a treat!
-
Georgi - LOL I just cleaned up poo-soup myself this morning - he was fussy feeding around 8am and I was getting frustrated - then 4 very lovely noises - I use Aldi nappies and they have never leaked yet thank goodness!!! He does one at least every day - I shudder to think what it would be like if he waited 3 - 4 days as some b/f bubs can ..... eek!
Yep, not too soon to ovulate even though you have been b/f. When Z was 8 weeks I got some very light spotting so I am looking for signs too - I will be peeved if AF comes this early - with the other two DS1 it was 7 months and DD was 4.5 months. So if you don't want an oopsie baby - be careful ;)
-
since stopping B/F that is what i am dreading...AF.... I know for certain though i can't get preggers....
Jack hasn't pooped for 2 days now.... i am scared....LOL he is farting like a trooper and boy does he stink!~!!!!
