Hollye..... since i have done that with the cot..Jack has slept in there :) the last 2 mornings he has woken up around 5/5.45am...give him his dummy til 6 then feed him and he goes back to sleep :D
Girls...after bub..this AF is HORRID!!!! NOT something you would want back in a hurry :(
I hope everyone had a nice Xmas with their bubs. :)
Sorry just a me post today cos I have visitors coming soon.
Normally I really like my ILs but I found them so annoying on Xmas Eve and Xmas day. They kept commenting on the fact that Maya was crying a lot and telling DH and I what we should do. And also making comments on how my nieces were never like that! Arghhh! It was really ****ing me off. DH stood up for me and Maya which was nice. And basically we knew the reason why she was crying so much was cos he has such a big family and she's not slept somewhere else before so it was all overwhelming for her. But they kept saying "oh she's got wind - you have to burp her". Sure enough as soon as we got home she's been settled again! I felt like a bad mum all Xmas day though. :(
My MIL also didn't believe us when we said Maya won't take a bottle. She was planning to baby sit Maya on Xmas Eve and actually cracked it at me when I said we were taking Maya with us. Anyway she went on and on at us for ages and finally I caved. Then she called us to come home early cos Maya wouldn't take a bottle! Derrrrrr! :wall:
I have noticed that Maya now doesn't like being held by anyone other than DH and I. I assume that means she knows her mum and dad now and doesn't like strangers.
Tomorrow we are staying at a nice hotel in the city. My hospital wanted me out early and gave me a gift to stay one night at a hotel as incentive to leave. Bizarre! Anyway, tomorrow was the only day I could find, before the voucher expires at the end of Jan, that DH and I are free and the hotel is available. We get late checkout and breakky included too. :) So just have to sort out dinner. And they have cots we can use so we are taking Maya with us. :)
tanya - dont let them get to you. IL's and parents and everyone you come in contact with LOL for that fact will always think they can parent your children better than you. I get the same - with ethan crying all the time, and he doesnt like being held by anyone but me and sometimes DH. I just tell people he has wind and a little reflux and he will be fine and move on. like it is any of their business.
As for the bottle. E wont take one either, and neither did DD for that matter. We went straight to a spouted cup at 7 months withDD and will do the same with DS.
But have a wonderful time away at the hotel. It sounds lovely! what a lovely break :)
HOllye - the cot is something you will learn for next time lol. DD would wake 3- 4 times at night to feed when she was a baby as she slept in our room up t 3 months. I put it down to we were waking her and she would wake us and rather than let them self settle would pick thme up thinking they are hungry when they are just farting or fussing to get comfy (like we do in bed ... well not the farting lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!)..
This time around i put DS in his cot in his room straight away and he started only have 1 feed overnight from 4 weeks and now will sleep all night. It is wonderful.
We dont even have the monitor on. i have the door shut. i figure when he is wanting me he will cry loud enough to let me know.
makes for a better nights sleep
Katones - see above lol.. and good work! i hope you get good sleeps in now!
As for AF i am still waiting... i am not looking forward to it as i havent had AF since sept 2006 ..... so will really be back with a vengence i think!!!
Well ethan sat in the upright seat of the the P&T pram today at the shops... ooooh he is growing up so fast. his neck muscles are really strong and pushing up on his arms.
Otherwise we are having a better day today ;)
hope all are ok and talk soon
Morning all..i hope everyone is OK...
PP...i have with my older 2 had them in my room for nearly 11/12 months in the first year..i won't have them in another room until they are just about 1. Then they go into a big bed, did it with the older 2 and had no probs..so that's how i am planning to do it with Jack :D
He has been sleeping in his cot now for just about a week.. and sleeping ALL night, which i am pleased about. Hubby and i are fairly noisy in our bedroom (getting up etc...) and it doesn't seem to bother Jack at all...
Poor lil man now has a cold...got a lil snotty nose :(
PP wow that's great that Ethan is now sitting up in the pram, I'm the same with Julian, I have the door closed(have to otherwise other boys go in) and I figure if he wants me he will scream, lol.
We had a great christmas, all the boys got spoilt and had heaps of food. I will have to upload some pics later on from christmas day, we had my brother and SIL over and it was great to catch up with them. My mum is suppose to be coming down on Wednesday so the boys will get some more pressies then. I think we will be trying to go to the beach or something on Thursday not really sure.
hugs xoxo
Just a flying visit - been so busy with visitors and Christmas etc - but popping on to lurk and catch up quickly if time permits at the end of the day.
We are all well, had a lovely week with family - and Zander showed off just how settled a baby can be - he has slept every night without trouble, and his day sleeps have been fantastic. Having said that, those with more than one know that this can change overnights so I am gunna have a brag whilst it is happening :ROFL: His feeding though is a bit scrappy (hope that makes sense) but I just put that down to the hotter weather and visitors, and think if he was still hungry he would be screaming for more - and his nappies have still been a good colour and not green so he is getting some of the fattier stuff.
Why can I never type less than 10 lines??? :)
Will catch up soon!
Hi
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! Ours was busy busy - and now I've a chance to sit and reflect it seems I've come down with not just conjunctivitis but also some kind of sore throat thingy - just great timing with Dom deciding he's going to be very demanding today - probably me not being 100% is unsettling him or he's having a 12 week growth spurt or dare I air it but he's been dribbling heaps - hoping it's not teeth!!!
Anyways off to try and ring the Dr at evening clinic.... so long as there's not too long a queue there!!!!
Hey I am still around but stuggling big time at the moment. I read and lurk but typing anything is a bit much. Hopefully in a few weeks the antidepressants will kick in and normal life can resume but till then it is an hour by hour life! I do miss you all though and read often hope everyone had a good Christmas.
Howdy! Byron had his 4 month shots today.. The poor little thing, he's real grumpy. He's growing nicely. He weighs a wopping 6.75kgs. He's in the 75th Percentile for his corrected age & 50th for actual. So he's doing really well. Me on the other hand, I have mastitis again. Not feeling real great. Been in bed all day. Am on antibiotics. Also, I had this big black thing scraped off my leg, last monday, & pathology has come back that it's melanoma, but showing signs of regression. So now I have to get it cut out but cause it's so big (between a 5 & 10cent piece) I have to go to a plastic surgeon. I'm a little worried, but am sure it will be ok.
My in laws and DH's brother & his fiance are here so my house is full of people. Then my sister arrives with her family on New Years day so all pretty hectic. I still lurk everyday, just not posting much.
Caoi for now!
I am reading but have to go to bed now - just want to say I miss you all! Waaaaaahhhh. :hug: to you all who are having issues with bubs, poo to mastitis Georgi but WOW at your gorgeous 4mth old boy what a superstar!! :D We are great! Sleeping beautifully, feeding beautifully and waiting for some MCN to arrive, hopefully tomorrow! Very excited! Off to bed -Iz has decided 545 is a GREAT time to start the day. Funny that my toddler sleeps worse than my newborn - well not so newborn anymore! ;)
dont mind me, but i need to get this out...
DP has trust issues, mainly cos i left my ex for him BUT that doesnt mean that he has to be suspicious of my actions. he thinks that im out lookin & questions my actions. he thinks that im bein dodgy cos im all 'wrapped up' when i go out with him but dress in singlet (on a F'ing hot day!!) when out by myself. he always thinks im doin things behind his back and that things dont add up so it must mean that im out to see someone else. he believes 100% that ive cheated on him in the early days & brings it up every single time we have a fight. he made me SO mad last night that made me scream at him & even slap him. he even called dragon 'mistake' & me 'regret'...at least he's stopped sayin dragon isnt his. although he's not a romantic, but he's a sweet guy. its all cos of his habit...cant wait til there's an end to it *sigh* my family dont know this side of him & i dont want them to find out, so there isnt really anyone i can talk to...at least things are back to normal now, but it never feels right to fight with him. i know there's light at the end of the tunnel but we're takin a 3steps forward, 2steps back approach atm :(
Oh Teru!
I am so sorry to hear that you and DH are having these issues.
Is he getting help for his habit?
It is hard enough having a newborn but also getting in trouble for tryingto feel half human with make up on when out with your family is not fair.
I never wear makeup but the last few times i have put it on when out with DH, as i need to feel human and girly... not just a milkbar on legs.
Vent to us honey! we are here for you!
im not a makeup kinda girl, it was simply singlet & shorts to the shops down the road!
he sorta does have help, but he always find excuses. also doesnt help when his frieds support his effort. tbh he was doin good after baby was born, until his friend offered & then it gone downhill frm then. his excuse is that he needs to get the car in the garage out (its been majority of the yr).guess its partly my fault for being soft on him...BUT he promised to stay clean for 2009,:crossfingers: he can stick to it...
oh Teruteru, that sounds really tough, I'm sorry to hear it. Good luck with supporting DP through dropping his habit - does he have any other supports to help him do it? And venting is good, let it all out here - it's a good place for it :hug:
I don't have time for personals today - but have also been reading... g'day to everyone. We're having a BBQ catch-up with friends today - belated Xmas/NY catch-up, another friend dropping by this arvo, organised dog-walker this morning... then flying off to Tassie on Thurs to see my family. So it's all busy busy busy atm, but great fun.
I just did a bad mummy thing. Carefully shut the nursery door so dog & cat couldn't get in. 5 mins later hear muffled miaows... I'd shut the cat INSIDE the nursery! Oops!!! :redface:
Hope everyone is well and the gorgeous bubbas are happy little munchkins :grouphug:
Teru - HUGS!
belfie - yes them cats are a worry hay. Mines giving me the ****s atm.. mayb i should sell him on ebay? ---- note to self----- never NEVER get another white long haired cat that persists in rolling all over the carpet and leaving big clumps of its hair behind!
thats about it for me.. mwah xoxoxo
PinkPalace - Yeah I was getting so frustrated with everyone's advice on Maya! If I want advice I'll ask for it! Oh and I tried giving Maya a spouted cup, but that didn't work either cos she needs to be able to suck and that's the whole problem. So I might have to wait till she's older. I reckon Maya's neck muscles are quite strong now too. I tried sitting her a bit more upright in her stroller cos I thought she'd enjoy being able to look around more and she cried the whole time. :wall: So I'll go back to lying her down!
Georgi - Sorry to hear about the mastitis and the melanoma! :hugs: When you're feeling better - I've been wondering what words you are first teaching Byron in sign?
kat*am*i - How's Dom doing now? And hope you're feeling better soon!
amy - :hugs:
teruteru - :hugs:
belfie & hollye - I'm finding it hard having a cat now! Maya is constantly covered in the cat's hairs somehow and the cat is always getting in places she shouldn't be!
To everyone else: hello!
Last night DH and I went to stay at the Sofitel. :) We went for a nice long walk through the city and then got take away for dinner to eat in our room. Then we STRUGGLED to put Maya down for the night. Eventually we came to the conclusion that we couldn't have any lights on - which also meant we couldn't stay up cos we were all in the one room. Then I decided to take a book and read in the bath while DH played games on his phone. So not a very romantic get away. But I slept really well and getting room service breakky was very nice. :)
I've been feeling down lately about the fact that Maya won't take a bottle. I thought I'd be able to get out a bit more now but instead I feel tied down. And then saying that I feel like such a bad, selfish mum!
I also feel really down about the fact that I can't get Maya into bed before 10 or 11pm at night! It seems like everyone else's babies are sleeping from 7 or 8 till 6 or 7 in the morning! While I struggle every night to get Maya into bed. The good thing is she does sleep till 5 or 6 now. But I'm not usually in bed till 11 or 12 and I can't get her to sleep any longer once she wakes. So I'm still surviving on about 4 to 6 hours sleep (depending on when she goes to bed and wakes up and how long it takes me to fall asleep). Plus my ILs made me feel crap about the fact that I have to rock Maya to sleep all the time. I have tried getting her to settle using other methods, but nothing else works! I feel like I'm doing it all wrong. :(
Sorry bout the sob post. I am happy for everyone who's bubs are sleeping well and self-settling. I just wish Maya would do that too!!!!
tanya
Dont feel bad about the bottle thing.
Seriously ashley was 7 months before she would take the cup and nothing before hand andwe tried everything.
Ethan wont take the bottle either. I will try a cup closer to 6 months.
Some babies just dont like the bottle and that is normal
As for the self settle. It can be hard work. I remember ashley took about 3 weeks of hard self settling and controlled crying to get her to sleep through. She was 4 months old at the time. before that we was waking every 2-3 hrs overnight to feed. Then i decided i cant keep doing this, It was exhausting to spend 1/2 hr to get her to sleep without a feed and teaching her to settle in the cot in the middle of the night but i am glad i didnt cave into the emotion and stuck it out. As she has self settled ever since and it is bliss!
Ethan will only settle at night in his cot. Throughout the day he wont sleep in his cot and needs to be in a vibrating chair or the cradle swing.
I think his night time routine we started early. really helps.
He has a feed about 6pm, then bath, then massage then we lay on my bed and have a feed, burp and then down in his cot with the night light on and walk out.
It took a week or 2 of him crying or not wanting to sleep and i would have to walk it and either pat his bottom (he sleeps on his tummy), or pick him up tell him it is ok until he stops crying then put him nback down.
Do you have a night time routine so bub knows it is time to sleep at night? t is never too early to start- even if it is reading a book. doesnt mattter what it is - even if it seems silly to such a young bub.. it is about the routine and consistency so bub knows what comes next. and give it a few weeks before you give up on it.
I hope this helps and you are doing a great job. E still wakes every now and then in the middle of thenight and sleep routines will change as rolling, crawling, teething etc all come along.. so when you think everything is perfect and bub has finally gotten it!! it can all change in the blink of an eye :) so dont get too discouraged .
just a quick one.
thanks for all the hugs, they come in handy :)
went to the movies with dragon tonight n he slept all the way thru! had to feed him in the sling just before the lights started to dim so theres my 1st offical public feedin LOL
Teru :comfort: hugs hun...it must be hard for you with your DH being like he is....I know before i met my hubby he drank alot..(complicated life with his ex) and since Jack has been born he has been drinking quite abit and i have had enough...i think next time if he gets blotto I am going out...i will leave him here to his own devices...i don't care for it one bit.
To everyone else...have a safe night tonight and a happy new year :)
We are doing NOTHING tonight AGAIN...BUT i probably wouldn't have the energy to do anything anyways.....
hrmmmm i wonder if i will still be awake at midnight...
Matt wanted to go out to his parents for new years and i said im not going n im not taking Mia. New years.. sleeping on a floor.. mozzies.. flies.. sweat... no thanks! so we are both staying home and visiting them on sat for the day.
omg PP! im catching u in the posts!!!
LOL Hollye do you have LOTS to say??? :p
i do! no life u see... if only i could find a way to put the cot and the fridge near the computer and i would be set for the day!! lol
hmmm thats an idea Hollye!!!! *must look for bar fridge when out shopping* hehehehe rubbing hands together
i wish at times i had more to say.....
oh Katones u are a pure LEGEND!!!! Orgainised Mia's cot today.. took a side off and put it next to our bed and she asleep in it right now!! only took 30 mins to get her to sleep!!!! OMG!! thankyou so much!!! The only thing i have to do now is lower it (its still on the high setting) to the bottom base and all is good!! yay!
AWWW Hollye i am sooo happy for you!!!!! Jack is asleep in his bed now too!!! I have just spent the last 45mins putting him to sleep as we were out earlier... he is down now..soo we shall see how long this cat nap lasts!!!
Thanks PinkPalace. I think what I'm struggling with most at the moment is how I thought it'd be versus how it really is. Like I just assumed every baby would take a dummy and drink from a bottle but Maya doesn't. At least if I have a second child I'll know not to expect anything! :lol:
Well after saying all I said last night.. this morning after Maya had finished her feed at 6am, I put her down in her bassinet while she was awake. I heard her 'talk' for a bit, then get the hiccups, then everything went quiet and I looked over and she was asleep!!!!!!! :) :) :) So I guess that means she CAN get herself off to sleep?! It hasn't worked during the day though. I've had to rock her to sleep. But I think I've now worked out that she was actually tired this morning and wanted to go to sleep whereas during the day she wants to stay up so I have to force her to go to sleep. I'm not sure what the answer is - to forcing a baby who wants to be awake but is over tired to go to sleep?! :dunno:
Our night routine is to feed in the dark and wrap her up and we give her a bath every second day (cos she hates the bath still!). On bath days she does go to sleep so much easier and quicker - but I think that's exhaustion from all the crying she does not from the bath. :lol:
Anyway, I am feeling better today. I think just having her go to sleep on her own this morning has given me hope again!! :)
Happy New Year girls!! Is anyone staying up tonight? I am normally up till 11 or midnight anyway cos I can't get Maya into bed before then, so I guess I'll be up! And I suggested to DH that we do a BBQ tonight and have a couple of glasses of wine. :) I just wish the weather was nicer.
HOllye - game on girl! lol
Tanya - woohoo for self settles!!! We have a couple of peeps coming over tonight with kids...
i am exhausted as DH took us all to the zoo... big day lol. Ashley had a ball and Ethan slept hehe.
Ill pop up some pics at the picnic lunch DH made for us and E and I just lazed around lol
here you go https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ry.php?cat=967
Happy New Year! :) I can't believe it's 2009 now!
DH and I had a BBQ outside and took Maya outside with us. She happily sat in her rocker looking at the sky, while we ate dinner. It was very nice. Then I made it to 11.30pm and I was soooooooooooo exhausted I decided to just go to bed! :lol: I did hear fireworks going off at midnight though.
I've uploaded some Christmas photos.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone. I had no chance staying awake till midnight. I did wake up though,it was so noisy when it hit midnight, all the fireworks, people yelling & tooting their car horns. I went straight back to sleep but.
My mastitis is healing up now. I feel much better. Still have to take panadol & the antibiotics. I also had good news back from pathology.... The melanoma had not grown through the skin so it looks like we got it just in time. I still need to get the rest cut out but at least it's good news.
TANYA The first words I'm teching Byron is Mumy & Daddy, then milk & more are the others that I teach too, just not as often as Mummy & Daddy. I also sign twinkle twinkle little star as I sing that to him. I do that a few times a day.
Hope 2009 is a great year for you all.... xxx
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.
I had no hope of staying awake until midnight, I crashed at about 11pm, but there was someone letting off fireworks close by and some idiot drivers racing around.
I had my parents and brother and SIL over today and it was a nice day except for the heat, it has been so hot up here lately.
hugs xoxo
morning girls...
i hope you are all doing OK and bubs are all well and happy :)
Jack is still sleeping :) he woke at 6.10am this morning..and i fed him and he went straight back to sleep :)
i can't believe he is 12 weeks old on sunday!!!! my goodness times flies when your having fun :p
hollye i just noticed the bit in your ticker....8 more sleeps til your 21st....wish i was 21 again :p add another 10 years to that.... gawd i feel old!!!
Georgi - I'm thinking of starting with signs for drink and milk. I'm trying to think of what words she'll need first. I think after I've done then for a while I might teach mummy and daddy.
katones - I'm with you.. I can't believe Maya is 12 weeks today!
I had such a bad day yesterday. :( Sorry long rant to follow:
Yesterday I decided that I wanted to get out of the house for a bit. DH has been wanting to visit his father and show Maya to his father's partner (who just keeps not turning up to anything we organise) so I suggested going to their place. They live in Geelong - an hour or so drive away. Maya slept most of the way there, so at this stage all was good. We arrived at my FILs and she was still sleeping but woke when we got her out of the car. We went into the house and greeted my FIL and when my FIL said hello to Maya she started screaming. And she screamed and screamed and screamed. DH was trying to settle her. And she always settles normally! But she just would not stop screaming. And the scream was awful! I have not heard her like that before! So my brain goes into over drive trying to work out what's wrong. Was it my FIL that set her off? She does cry when she is held by strangers but not when they look at her and she definitely doesn't scream like that. Was she tired? We had gotten her up from her sleep. But again she would never scream like that. Seriously the screaming was horrible and was breaking my heart!
So we decided to go back in the car and drive around and see if that would settle her. Nope. She screamed the whole time!! So we went back to my FILs house and I got her out of the car and took her over to a tree. And she quietened down finally. She was now sobbing but at least she wasn't screaming. So we went back inside my FIL's house and BAM the screaming started up again. And at this point I finally worked out that it was the smell in the house! Before we arrived my FIL had cleaned his entire house with undiluted disinfectant and both DH and I found the smell so overwhelming so I can only imagine it must have been too much for poor Maya. You could smell it from the street even! I took her back outside and again she settled - back to sobbing not screaming.
But what really ****ed me off is that my FIL and his partner kept saying things like "she must have wind" and "oh she must be so difficult!" Both DH and I kept saying over and over and over again that she's never been like that before and it must be the disinfectant smell! But they didn't believe us. And I am so sick of people not believing me! As soon as Maya behaves out of the norm people think it must be wind or they think she's always like that. And when I tell them it's not normal for her they don't listen to me!
What really really ****ed me off is that when I was outside with Maya calming down finally my FIL's partner suddenly grabbed Maya off me!! I am not kidding. She just took Maya out of my arms! And then she wouldn't give Maya back and Maya started crying again because she doesn't like strangers. And what's even worse she took Maya back inside the house because they didn't believe me that the house was where the problem was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Maya started screaming again!!!!!! I basically chased my FIL's partner into the house and yelled at her to give me back Maya. I took Maya back outside and went into the car and I told DH we were going. We took off and Maya vomited - I mean there was a serious amount of food coming out and she was making awful noises bringing it up. By this stage I thought OMG she's so sick. We pulled over and I fed her. She calmed right down and fell asleep straight away. Then woke up near home and was back to her normal self. And she's been fine ever since. In some ways I think how on earth could the smell/fumes of disinfectant cause that much pain for her but I am always second guessing myself and what else could it be! After this experience I've realised I need to start trusting my instincts more.
Though I feel like such a bad mum at the moment. How could I have let Maya go into that house three times when it was obvious something was setting her off in that house. And how could I have let someone grab her from my arms?! :(
Tanya you are not a bad mummy, how were you suppose to know what was wrong straight away but you did work it out and that what makes you a good mummy. As for this woman grabbing Maya, she had no right to do this and you will know next time you are around her to stay well clear. Maybe get DH to talk to FIL about his partners behaviour regarding this and tell him that it is not on and that it will not be tolerated. Big :hug:
hugs xoxo
Tanya - your not a bad mummy. I know when Mia is screaming like that your mind is racing a million miles an hour. PIL's really **** me coz of this reason, they think they can just jump in and tell u what to do and how to do it. Stand your ground sweety, she is YOUR daughter. Dont worry about the spew thing, Mia does the same thing after she has been screaming and she calms down a little. You did the right thing by giving her a feed and that just goes to show how well u know ur baby girl and how much of a fantastic mummy u are! big hugs sweety xoxoxo
Amanda - Thanks. I did talk to DH last night and told him I don't want his father's partner near Maya again. I don't really like her anyway and this latest incident has just made me dislike her even more. I still can't believe that she took Maya from me.. but I also don't really know how it happened or why I didn't stop her. I thought she was pulling Maya's top down (which was up near her head) but then she grabbed her and it happened so quick! I'll definitely stay clear of her.
Hollye - Thanks. My ILs are just driving me crazy lately telling me what's wrong with Maya and comparing her to the other children in the family, when they don't even know Maya!
Tanya - honey i would have gone spastic at your fathers partner!!! OMG not cool at all!
I am OVER vomit!
Seriously ethan vomits after every feed and between feeds and big vomits too.
i am sick of being covered, smelling like it, cleaning the floor and sheets and clothes ALL THE TIME arhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ok spaz over!
Just playing a bit of devils advocate - but I am sure that all the IL's and pain in the a$$ relations have good intentions. I mean, no-one starts out trying just to annoy people and upset babies etc. We don't see ours enough cos of distance so whenever we do I am forever shoving my babies into their arms/laps/faces so they can get to know them in a short time frame.
Tanya - don't panic about the settling honestly. Look if it gets to 6 months and Maya will still only settle with alot of assistance, you can do some gentle comfort self settling teaching then. During the day I give Zander big cuddles and a pat in my arms until his eyes look heavy and put him in the cot. Yep, he goes off then by himself, but with my DD - I won't go into it too much, but she was hard work, and remained so until she was 3. I still gave her a bottle up to 18 months overnight occasionally cos I just didn't know what else to do!!! and was too tired to deal with the cryng and continual waking overnight, espeically with DH away. It is all good now (mostly) :) - hard to see beyond what is happening in the moment I know.
Maybe your MIL thought she was helping by taking Maya as you were upset too which can make Maya upset even more etc - but if you asked to give her back, well, I don't think anyone can explain that one ..
Something can be said for the all experts saying some people keep their houses "too clean" for babies - better they are exposed to some dirt and dust etc for their immune system instead of cleaning chemicals. I definitely practice that :ROFL:
Quick Personals ...
Georgi - relieved to hear your results, but you must be so pssd about the mastitis again.
Hollye - damn girl you make me feel so old - I couldn't dream of having had a baby when I was nearly 21! I was no where near ready or mature enough at that..
katones - so Jack is doing ok again with his bottles??
teruteru - when you say habit do you mean illegal stuff or alcohol? I am assuming the naughty stuff when you said a friend offered. You are doing so well to stay strong, but remember the most important thing is that Dragon is safe and you are all happy.
PP - spew - I had enough with DD - she would spew morning noon and night - no wonder she hardly put on weight. I have hardly used a bib so far with Zander and believe me I TOTally appreciate it :) I remember going to a funeral with DD and taking 6 bibs thinking for sure that would be enough for 2 hours - nope, at the wake I had to ask for a tea towel I could take home with me and wash - she was so disgusting. I was so paranoid when someone wanted to hold her. Zander has an occasionally teensy chuck and that is it - my hair is loving him for it!!
belfie - hope you are having a lovely time in Tassie :)
I lasted until 11.15 NYE - not too bad I thought considering I have usually had and hours sleep by then. I kicked our visitors out at 10 cos my kids were exhausted, Riley already in but my party girl was in for the long haul and their kids are a bit older.
My darling boy turns 6 on 01/02 so I am thinking of what to do - I always shy away from home parties at that time of year cos it is usually very hot. Maybe Intencity - that is not too badly priced ... hmm... going off to research.
samiH Jack is doing OK i gues...still NOT drinking what he should be BUT it is getting better SLOWLY!!!!! and he has gained weight :) now weighs 6.48kgs :)
