Babies Born October 1st ~ 15th 2008 #3

:ROFL: belfie - you need another baby, quick - or if you have spare time come and help me LOL;)

lol you might be right! Btw, did you get your Zander a panda? BIL got it for us, and DH was thrilled as he had been planning to get him a panda for most of the PG!

HA! Sadly, his nicknames are Zander panda, or Zander boo .... Giselle calls him Boo now like the little girl off Monsters Inc LOL. Riley and DH calls him Zander panda pudding and pie, kissed the girls and made them cry - what's with that????

Yes, he does have a panda :lol:

haha love those names and I'm relieved he has a panda - wouldn't be right otherwise!! Our nicknames seem to have "departed" from his real name (mostly DH's fault).... Xandy, Xandy-Pants, Mr Xandy-Pants, Mr Pants (you may see a pattern here...), Mr Dude Pants, Mr Bottom Pants, Mr Cheeks (when the bottom was getting fatter!)...

went to doctors yesterday n it turned out my red dots were a really bad allergy reaction, so have to take antihistamine for a few days...while we were there dragon had his shots too...didnt turn out too bad. he was sleepin at first so he pretty much went bad to sleep after the shots hehe

picked up our photos over the weekend, turned out pretty good. Will post them up eventually.

just out of curiousity, what do u like to carry ur bub around with? we've got an ergo, i dont mind it but i wanna get a sling or something so that it'd be easier to do stuf ard the house as it's almost impossible to bend with the ergo...

ALSO, is anyone considering another baby soon? or taking a break before thinkin abt another one??

teruteru - NOPE WE ARE DONE :) Hun, I have 3, that is just fine for us

I have a Baba Sling and use it heaps for dragging bubs in and out of the car for school runs, taking DD to childcare (50 metre walk ;)), and used it heaps for grocery shopping, but now he has some head control he can start to go into the trolley capsules. I love it. Also when DH is away and I need him to have that awful late arvo nap I pop him in the sling so I can still get stuff done like pack bags for the next day, readers, all that ... he will snooze for up to an hour!

hope that helps.

belfie - when we were getting ready to leave this morning Giselle said - Mum, don't forget Boo! SO there you go ....

WOOOHOOOO DH went out and bought all the Wii stuff this morning so I am gunna wrap the accessories up now "for him", it's a start.

Riley had Christmas story play this morning, Catholic story - not Santa - and it was soooooo good. I think we were all surprised for 5/6yo how well they all did. So very proud :clap::clap: Zander slept in the sling the whole time ;)

teru I would really love another but 5 was DH's limit and we're at it now, so unfortuneately no more for me, just have to wait for my brother and SIL to start having kids that I can get clucky over.

Hi everyone else.

Well I've had a crappy few days, Lockie had a birthday party on Sunday and that went well and Sunday night we went to look at christmas lights and while out Wyatt threw up in the car. Got home and boys went to bed, then at 1:30am I get woken to Kailen crying and then running to the loo and throwing up (great). Then yesterday after all the commotion of the early morning I have two boys throwing up and crying and with the crying it kept Julian awake, just couldn't win. Kalien was better by about lunch time and Lockie is only just getting better this morning (oh the joys of stomach bugs).

This morning I had my 6 week check, all good, except BP is up a little still and will have to keep an eye on it. Wyatt and Julian got their needles done, wow what an experience getting a 4 yr old to try and sit still in a bear hug long enough for two needles, but I think the jellybeans and lollies that he got spoilt with after by the nurse fixed it, lol. Julian had a little cry and then had some boobie and is now in bed sound asleep, so far so good.

hugs xoxo

teru
i have a sling (babyrock) and i use it when i am out and about with Ethan :)

As for more kids SOON... ammmm NO. we are finished too. lol 2 under 16months is enough for me!")

Amanda - we tricked ashlye with her shots. I made her a choc milkshake and sat her on my lap, while she was drinking it she didnt notice me hold her tight and then OUCH lol... she screamed then went back to sdrinking.... 4 year old are next (yay for 2.5 years of no needles!)

we are going to start trying next year (december IVF) for my last (that will be number 4)
we started last december had egg pick up in Jan.. and found out the 15th Feb we were pregnant!!! so if all goes well next time round we will hopefully have another bub due when Jack turns 2 :D

belfie - Those pics are so cute. :)

teruteru - I've got a hug-a-bub and a bubba moe sling. Maya hates the bubba moe and I don't like it either. I find it too uncomfortable and hard on the back. She likes the hug-a-bub and there are many positions you can put baby in. I find it much nicer on my back but it does hurt my shoulders after a while. Also it takes a while to tie it around myself! But I tried a baby bjorn that my cousin has and I found that it was easier to put on but more uncomfortable to wear.

We won't be trying for another baby straight away. We have no plans for when we'll have another baby.

I look forward to seeing your pics of Dragon! :)

Amanda - Hope your boys are feeling better soon!

My DH rang me a little while ago to tell me that they are giving everyone a 10% pay cut at his work! :( Great timing!! He'll have a day off every fortnight with the pay cut though. So it's kinda a good thing and a bad thing. It'll be nice to have him home an extra day a fortnight but we could really use that money!! :wall:

belfie- was it u that had the tommee tippee bottles?? anyways i know what u mean that it leaks. Just got a 260ml one n it leaks a lil. didnt have the prob with the 150ml one thou...

thanks for the diff suggestions of slings, will look into them :P

we plan to hav the next kid in early 2010 (yr of tiger) so guess will b tryin next yr. DP was jst wrkin out when i need to stop BFin...had always thought id stop ard 3mths but i enjoy it so guess will b extendin it to 6 LOL

do ur bubs tend to suck for the sake of suckin?? i dont mind it, but it jst makes a mess...any help to reduce it?

Teruteru..i had the tommee tippee bottles and yep they do leak sometimes....
yeah we are hoping for a 2010 bub... as i need to have atleast 2yrs between caesars.... but this will be my last caesar (it will be number 4)
i have a ring sling i bought it off ebay..it is a godsend (it is called a Tillysling)
I have taken some chrissie pics of Jack

Teruteru - it wasn't me with Tommy Tippee - I'm using Medela... which are also prone to leaking :rolleyes: I also found when I was BF'ing that X would stay on as long as I would let him... he was quite happy to wile away the hours regardless of whether he was getting any good milk or not!!

Re slings, I've got a loaned baby bjorn that i'm using, which I find pretty good - but haven't tried anything else yet. I'm probably going to get an ergo down the track...maybe.

Tanya - thanks re the pics, call me biased but I love 'em. I'm a photo addict I think.

I'd like to have a second bubba, and hope to have "it" second half of 2010. I like the idea of re-using my mat clothes, and then the bubba would be born similiar time of year to X... it would all just be so convenient (big assumption that it would go to plan hahaha!)... but honestly I loved the timing climate-wise of this PG, it was awesome. My DH thinks I'm so silly to plan it around clothes though :rofl: but my obs says try to aim for delivery at about 36/37 y.o. if I can and not to tempt fate by leaving it longer if I don't have to...we'll see how I feel about that next year! Gotta DTD first hahaha!

Edit: geesh was just looking at all your ages in your sigs... feelin' old now!!! Eeeep! (X was born a week and a half before my 35th birthday)

Hi all, Hope everyone is going good and coping with the week before christmas madness. I had to go to the shops today for some last minute gifts....bad idea....
Anyway little possum is still sleeping so I am going to catch up around here while I have the chance!!

all going OK here..
EXCEPT for Jacks new trick...NOT drinking all his bottle!! sometimes only drinking 1/2 a bottle or pushing the teat around with his tongue/chomping down on the teat :rolleyes:
he is still having wet/pooey nappies so i am not overly worried.
H has had 2 decent sleeps today (in his pram) but i have place a pillow in there to raise his head abit more... and he has slept soundly....
I can't believ how fast it has gone since he was born!!!!!

Kat - maybe he is just having his moments with the bottle
like you said he is still putting out wet nappies so not to worry! and woohoo on the sleeps!

Amy_o i have vowed not to go to the shops again!!! well not on my own with 2 kids lol.. it is ridiculous out there!! what happened to 24 hr shopping.. that would have suited could have gone at 3am lol... well ify ou are up anyhow why not hahahaha

Belf - not strange at all to plan around clothes... trust me woul dhave been easier. i had one in june and one in oct. nothing Ashley had will fit ethan in the right season!!! lol and for maternity clothes well they arent cheap you know. just tell DH you are being considerate of his bank balance .
And i hear ya on the DTD comment:lol: poor dh's

Teru- the only suggestion is to give a dummy maybe?it is very normal for them to suck for comfort :) Year of the tiger sounds nice btw.. is it significant of anything for you?
:redface:

Tanya - sorry to hear about the paycut. but i honestly believe no money can ever replace the time you get to spend as a family. i wish i had DH home more - cant wait for the holidays to start next week. i get him for a whole 2 weeks wooohooo

Amanda - how are the boys.. is the gastro bug gone? how is your milk bath!! lol hope you have had a chance to relax!!

Sami H - go on test the wii out while DH isnt looking... you know you want to!

HOllye - how is that precious mia? when is the big move btw?

Kurazia - Where are you hun... we are missing you. hope all is ok at home :)

Georgi - How is byron? I sooo am trying to convince DH to bring me down one weekend lol... we will be down at tweed boxing day though!!!


If i have missed anyone it wasnt intentional... it is getting hard to write between long stretches lol... *hugs*...

what is santa bringing bubs for xmas?????

Santa brough Ethan his cradle swing early... ill put a bow on it for him heheh :)

Otherwise all is ok here. Had a mini melt down yesterday from being at the shops and toddler tantrums and baby :) arrrhhhh.. otherwise ethan is doing ok. looking around heaps and really wants to talk away and interact... i love this part when it becomes more rewarding....

Hello, I hope it's ok to jump in here and say hi :) I'm Kat, mum to 4 little munchkins, the latest arriving Oct 3rd this year. Domenik was a very much wished for baby - we had to go down the path of assisted conception to have him - in total 7 years TTc and we have our little miracle!!

Right at this moment he is on daddy's lap resisting sleep.. think I'll have to go rescue him... (Dom that is)

Looking forward to getting to know everyone here :)

Hiya Kat....welcome to our little thread....
