Well Ella's on the losec now for the reflux, though havent notcied much of a change yet. Also has a case of the snuffles -awful when they cant breathe properly and are a bit miserable!
The paed told me to start Ella on solids in a few weeks to , so will be interesting to see if this has any effect!
Been very busy gong to a few different mums groups - have no idea how I will ever go back to work - lol.
Been away for a week - was weird, not sure I can be bothered rehashing it in a Boo Hoo thread, was bad enough in real life! I went to my parents where my sister was, but a childhood friend of my mum's was there, and therein lay the issues...a weird egg who kept making sly comments to my sister about how my daughter cries too much and that my son is 'bad'...WTF?? The weekend was great when I ditched DS with my sister and parents (and biatch features) and took the girl and me to the fire brigade championships.
Heavenly - my mum's from Honduras, so right next door My rellos are very Mayan, rather than from Spanish heritage.
Jen - yep, thanks for asking, T is all better! This time last week I was still getting quizzed by my dad as to whether I'd be taking her to a doctor, and before I knew it there was no wheezing and she's fine
The leggings are very cute and I'm going to make some more and get better at this sewing caper.
I won't be introducing solids any time soon, and probably not at 6 months (DS was about 10 months before he started eating non-BM in any kind of earnest). My babies have to at least be sitting unassisted for that caper! I don't use the guidelines, I go more by developmental cues. I won't be doing Farex (again) because I've heard too many constipation stories and the iron in the food doesn't absorb into their systems anyway - there's a lot less iron in breastmilk, but at least all of it is absorbed and I can count on that. She watches us eat and not with any greater interest than she watches us use to loo, have a shower, etc - it's a developmental tendency for them to start watching and copying from abotu 4 months, not a need to be eating solids. I've got no reason to believe that my milk isn't providing what she needs, and also for that reason I don't feed solids before BFing - if the solids fill the belly up, then that's a bellyful of limited minerals and vitamins that largely won't be absorbed anyway, whereas a breastfeed provides a broad spectrum dose of good bacteria as well as vits and minerals that haven't yet been quantified by scientific types. Plus, I love the old tenet - food is fun till they're one
T is moving backwards in a kind of commando crawling motion - not much, but when she gets it, it's backwards!
I dunked her in the caravan park pool where I stayed with the brigade team - twice! She dealt with it very well and I had been priming her for weeks for it. I'm really looking forward to babyswim lessons next week with my next water baby
Better go, DS has picked up a lovely habit of spitting from a GF's son and I want to kick him outside NOW...
hey all, serenity was 4 months yesterday so very exciting , was a big day she moved out of newborn size nappies and we finally upgraded completely out of 00000 so in 0000 now and i finlly put away all the clean clothes in her basinet so now she can sleep in it lol
erybery - hope the losec is starting to work for you gorgeous girl hun xx
Ozstar - way to go on the rolling!!! Charlotte is almost there can't seem to get the shoulder around and then cracks it!!!
KellyD - my hair is everywhere too!! I have far too much hair anyways so love it a good de-shag-a-fi (he he he I know its not even a word)
Skybie - not long till you go away either... or are you already there???
AFM- sorry haven't really been around much... Charlotte isn't a fab sleeper at night so I have been well and truely sleep deprived and chasing a very active 2 year old!!!! SHe will get there I know.... she still has loads of gas and crys a lot - Dh calls her 'cranky sumo' !!! Cause she is a little chubba bubba(love it) we are already in crawler nappies and 00!!! Its so different because ds was long and skinny!!!! Went and saw a knee surgeon yesterday and it looks like I may need my patella replaced!! Off to have more scans today ... needless to say my knee is buggered!!
Anyways hope you all fab and your beautiful bubas are too x
Chepie when will you have to have surgery? Hoe is Mr A doing? I think our ds's are at a such a fun and at the same time frustrating age lol. My dd thinks he ace though.
Ery have you started solids? How is she taking to them?
Heavenly I cant believe she is still so small. How is she liking the bassinet?
Maya how is the baby swim going? Wow at the commando crawling, T is a clever little thing. I am pretty much the same as you with solids, dont do farex and will wait for developmental cues that she is ready. I am in no hurry its just another thing that I will have to do each day lol.
I have been lucky enough to have spent this past weekend with Skybie, Nina21 and Jen, we had such an awesome time and got lots of photos of our girls together.
I was looking at the pics as they came in, what a great catch up you had!
Chepie - was great to read from you Yep, I second Oz, DS is so great, yet so trying. It's so hard to stay on top of his needs and tend to a littler one, too - it's when I really lament the loss of the 'village' because at this stage we'd be able to send our older ones out to play with and learn from older children and mix with other kids their age...and they'd be out of our hair so we could be with our babies! There's lots of frustration ensuing when I can't drop everything for DS
T is going great, as usual. Yep, she has started the BabySwim classes, but the first class was a bit boring considering what I've already been practicing outside of class! Plus, class time is really not working - it's during her cluster feeding time and can't feed for an hour before lessons (they're much more likely to poo otherwise, though T wouldn't cos we've got a different toileting pattern where she'll have done her poo on the chamberpot after some cueing), so she was really quite upset by the time the lesson was over. May have to look into another time if this week is the same. She's enjoying the water, anyway - may end up like her "I like to float face down, Mr/Ms Lifeguard" brother...
Been very busy here with packing up the house (well, DP has been...bit hard with one or the other child hanging off you!) and preparing for the next phase of life. This week is me running around finding out what banks will lend etc while maintaining normal activities for DS! Before we know it we'll be moving to MiL's and organising our shed cum temporary housing. Life could be worse than having one of the highest hills in the Korumburra area with clear views to the Prom! Oh, and I reckon DS reckons life could be worse than having a tourist railway as a boundary fence...
T is really getting that caterpillar thing happening, so she's moving all over the bed when she's not quite asleep and being fidgety. Right now she's completely starkers, and has been all sticky night - this EC is paying dividends already! I wish I could call her clever, but really it's just lucky genetic pre-programming throw-back - nice to share it in DP's gene pool, though
I haven't booked T in for her shots yet, must really get onto that. Her growth has slowed down, so now she's not overtaking DS anymore, thank goodness! She's actually sleeping in our hanging hammock now - I realised that DP had tied the 'back up' string so that the spring didn't have enough bounce. Now that it can spring the whole length she goes to sleep in there, and doesn't already have to be asleep! DS was never able to just drop off to sleep (aside from teh car) so this is quite novel for me to have a baby who'll just nod off without help!! I just got used to DS needing help to go to sleep and I didn't mind it because it was all I knew. I'm so glad he was first - LJ, when you have your second you will be glad you had the challenging baby first!
Better go and get some things done (like showering) before T wakes up again.
