    hi everyone!
    good to see everyone talking in here, its been so quiet in here!
    Maya im so sorry to hear about poor T, poor little thing, hope the packing is going well. it was hard enough moving while i was pregnant i cant imagine doing it with a little one!
    LD are u on FB chick? much more active over there!
    KT glad the spuds are feeling better.
    Kelly, what a clever little chickadee u have!
    Hi to everyone else, hope u and ur bubbas are going great guns!

    All good here, no teeth yet, im thinking soon though. Iz has been wearing a teething necklace since about 8 weeks, not because she was teething but because that was what age they reccomended u start.
    We've started half heartedly on solids, not a huge fan of cereal or mush, but she absolutely goes crazy when i put banana or frozen strawberries in her little food pouch thing!
    She's nowhere near sitting up, toyed with me a while ago my getting her knees under her but hasnt done it since.
    She's still sleeping well, besides the odd night when she wakes for a quick snuggle and feed. and she's a major thumb sucker! only thing i wish she'd take a dummy for is when she's having a spack attack and cant find her thumbs, would be so much easier to pop a dummy in!

    Hi all!!

    Gosh, it's fascinating reading where everyone's at..

    Maya- man, all of that sounds full-on!!! Good vibes for ease, joy and glory for the rest of your packing/move comin' your way!

    Heavenly- sorry for the loss of your grandad

    Kelly- we've been going to swimming since 4 months and she loves it. It's amazing how quickly they learn and shes exhausted afterwards

    Looks like I'll have to my a into g and order myself an amber necklace...awesome to hear that they're working so well for al of you. No sign of teeth for us, yet.

    Livvy's good...just mastered sitting but she's too wobbly to be left alone, lots of babbling and she's a thmb-sucker too. We're just starting to play around with Baby Led Weaning. She ate enough banana the other day to produce a foul nappy and had some success with some rice cake. Other than that, she's still lovin the boobs enough to necessitate a 2-3am feed every night.

    Have fun Vx

    Hi V!!! Great to hear from you hun. How clever is your little chicken sitting up! Gosh everyone is growing up so fast! Grab one of those amber necklaces they are great! That 2-3 am feed has hit here too, DD has never fed through the night until a recent growth spurt!

    Oz.....teeth hmmmm , we have 3 cut through the gums at the top but they just will not come any further then white tips through the skin. Also her 2 front bottom ones are just there under a fine membrane. They are giving her hell combined with a wonderful Wonder week this week. Amber beads are helping but she has been very out of sorts with it all. I wonder if I will get her up one morning and she will have a mouth full of teeth

    Maya- I am amazed at just how clever T is with her ECing! Thats is just incredible. How do you actually cue her? EC sounds fantastic, I had never heard of anything like it before you started to talk about it. Im being a big meanie on the food front too Maya, poor DD is like Miss T, trying to steal all our food but I keep trying to tell her its not long now!!! Gonna give this BLS a bit of a whirl and see how we go.

    Kelly- Wow, how great does Tara sleep!!! SOS must have been great for the 2 of you. She sounds like she is getting very strong and developing so fast. Fantastic news about the dummy....saves a lot of hard work down the track!

    Skybie my love.....nah not on facebook yet. Still livin in the past . I think yep I'll join then cant decide. It really shouldnt be such a big deal but I have an extremely unusual name and I dont want certain people (from my past) tracking me down iykwim! That sounds like Im on the run or something equally as sinister . I do need to be on there though, do I have to use my real name? Is that food pouch, one of those things you put all kinds of food in and they can suck on it?

    Today the Miss got up on her hands and knees and began to rock back and forth- all so exciting! She cant sit up though so I think she may have to master the balance of that before she can crawl Oh yeah and our very beautiful highchair arrived just in time!

    Hi Ladies

    Another quick hello! When it rains it pours in here!

    V-Love - Lukey is the same loves the boobs and still wants a feed and also loves his thumb - actually any finger will do!

    LD - those teeth sound horrible! Hope they huray up and come through. I think Luke may be having a wonder week too as he has being very sooky the last week. I still haven't tried SOS am giving him to the 6 month mark and then it's time to get tough!

    Skybie - I wish Lukey would take the dummy when he spats it as well. Would be nice to have something to shut them up with!

    KellyD - we love swimming lessons. The calendar does full up quickly!

    Maya - so much to say to you but not enough time to post. So quick hug, hope the packing is going well and the move is as stress free as possible.

    Heveanly - sorry about your loss.

    Oz - 11 hour drive is amazing!

    Will try and catch up again soon - glad everyone is doing well.

    Bye

    Hey girls sorry I have been MIA, I have been lurking though just not getting enough time or energy to sit and write!

    Im not even going to attempt to catch up on doing persies (sorry does that sound rude???)
    Its great reading how all the bubbas are progressing.

    Miss Ella and I have been having a tough time lately - we are going to tresillian tomorrow(sleep school) so hoping things may get better after our stay. Also seeing a counsellor as Comm nurse specialist thinks I have PND which I dont agree with but I do know I am highly anxious and stressed and tired ALL the time. DD is up every hour some nights, every 3 hours other nights and occasionally sleeps 8 hours! during the day its very hard to get her to sleep through a sleep cycle so often only has 2 1/2 hour sleeps.
    Her feeding is getting worse and worse, I have mastitis for thr second time because she is not draining me as is very fussy and comes off screaming and crying till we both give up and Im in tears! Im thinking she is associating the BB's with pain as she was so used to having pain cause of her severe reflux (which the new meds seem to be helping) but she is in very bad habits.

    So not a very positive post from me and quite selfish but just thought I'd let you girls know where Im at.

    On the upside we are doing gymberoo and LOVING it - she laughs the whole time we are there especially when I am swinging her upside down!

    Ery, I hope Tresillian is a huge help. It sounds like your doing it tough lately, I wish I was closer so I could help.

    Not selfish at all Ery....you are doing an awesome job holding up- that all sounds incredibly hard-going. How great are you being able to find the energy to take Ella to gymberoo??? Hopefully, Tresilian will do the trick for you, hun
