Well I'm madly trying to finish off a Christmas card / Thank-you card / Christmas letter! I reckon I can get 'em done & out by COB Monday... so most people will get 'em by Xmas day.... nothing like having a deadline to get me moving...
Katones - good luck tonight, I hope he starts taking more. Does he seem his normal self otherwise? Is he falling asleep or just refusing to drink more?
SamiH - I hope the panadol and the favourite side (lol) did the trick for Z, sending you some e-bubbles for good luck.
I'm off to express and then it's sleepy bobos time!!
P.S. have to retract what I've said re MIL... she's been around a few times recently and been just LOVELY! Fed my boy a bottle, helped me bath him today and is generally besotted with him, and he's been turning on the charm... knows which side his bread is buttered!
Well I'm up! Z just had a feed and it was a good one so I am relieved about that = and no crying whilst he was up so that is great - after he went to bed last night no peep until 3.50am so i didn't mind feeding him then - but i have been up just checking on him
SamiH yay for you no crying at night lol... Ethan woke at 430 (went to bed a little later 830pm) and so i fed him and he snuggled with me until 630
I hope today is a better day for you
Belf - woohoo on the sleeping bags. hope they make a difference for you. Neither of my children would use sheets and i think SB are wonderful. especially when they start walking in themand look like little penguins lol
And MIL surprise you sometimes dont they!
Katones - i am sorry you have so much emotional turmoil at the moment with Jack. Just know that he is getting bigger and so he is doing fine! Ashley was a snack feeder for 7 months. only would have th smallest amount (when we went to formula would be lucky she would take 80ml a time.) but would want to feed every 2 hours.. (even overnight unti l she was 4 months). She would only be putting on 100-200gm a month, and people always tried to stress me out over it. but she was developing normally! smiling, rolling and all that stuff at the right times so i wasnt worried.
Even now with weight she is only 10.5kg at 18months (my neice is 5 months and pushing 9kg lol) but that is just her!
I hope your paed can give some more reassurance today fo ryou when you ring.
Kurazia - Please come back honey! we would love to hear how your little one and you are going
Well Ethan is cooing and ahhing all the time now. LOL so funny to hear him have a conversation. ANd Ashley loves it as she thinks he is talking to her!
Have christmas lunch here on thursday for 15 people... still trying to decide if we eat inside or outside..... outside is more room and airy but inside is airconditioned and cramp.... mmmmmm decisions decisions...
Today i am planning a NOTHING day lol. me, he couch and reruns of monk i think hehe.
Well I have just had brekky - Zander is still asleep - so he must need it - that is 12.5 hours now with feed in the middle! But I don't wanna have a shower until he wakes otherwise I have to clean the bathroom afterwards from the projectile spray of my boobs
PP - Giselle is only just 13kgs and is 4 in April. Riley was 13kg at 12 months old! So yes, I completely understand how ppl stress us out with weight etc. She too developed normally, she is just petite!
Christmas in or out - if ppl are used to the hot weather and not from say Melbourne , I would eat out, then kids can make noise etc and it won't seem cramped.
It is supposed to be 31 here next Sat (my family will have arrived for our christmas) - and my dad is a fuddy duddy who will whinge about the heat - like I can do anything about it - we do have an aircon, but I better take an extra dose of patience that day.
belfie - e-bubbles - hopefully when we come down whenever next year we can have a glass and a toast to our X/Zander's!
katones - I understand re not taking much, and i know mummy's instinct etc - but we have nothing else to guide us but wet nappies, no temp, and smiles! It is hard, but if he is still sleeping well he can't be too hungry. That's what I thought about Z overnight, if he is sleeping well still, he must feel ok just really tired.
He is stirring and making a few noises - but it still could be 20 mins before he tells us he wants UP now - what a big sleep!
well he only took 70mls last night then fussed BIG time so i thought nup bugger you..of too sleep..and he did happily woke at about 6.20am...and surprise surprise..drank 130mls..and was then the happies in ages i have seen him..(not that he hasn't been happy at all) played for around an hour and then i put him off to sleep...which he is still doing now His tummy hasn't been as rumbly this morning either...and not as gurgly in his throat as he normally is after the NAN....
Hey girls.. I've still been lurking, just not posting. Don't have much to say.. Byron is doing great. I'm blessed with a great baby. I just love him more & more each day.
I did have an issue that he wasn't making eye contact. Everytime I got in his sight, he would look the other way. I got all stressed about it so I rang the Paed & he said it's nothing to worry about, it's just that some babies prefer to look at light other than peoples faces. He said just to keep in his face and keep singing to him. So that consumes most of my day. I'm seeing the benefits to it though. I'm getting alot more eye contact. Though he prefers if I do sign language with my singing (lucky I am fluent in sign as both my parents are deaf). He loves looking at my hands move.
I've been catching up with the girls from mothers group 3 x per week for a walk or yoga session. It's been great to get out and active again.
My mum is coming up from Sydney today to meet her grandson for the first time. I'm looking forward to having christmas here. She leaves on Boxing day then DH's parents come up on Saturday & his brother & fiance are coming on Sunday. I'll be pretty busy entertaining till new years.
Although I will still be reading your posts, I may not post so WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR! MMMMMMWAH!
