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:cry:
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 :dance:
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 :shakehead:, 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 :o
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 :D. 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 :rofl:. 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 :dunno: 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!
-
:hug::hug::hug: 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 :crossfingers:
-
Oh Ery that's horrible. Good luck with tresilian and hopefully things can get a bit better for you both.
Lukey loves Gymbaroo too! He loves the parachute at the end the most but is also pretty happy upside down.
-
On the upside, Ery, T doesn't ever do 8 hr sleeps and I can't believe she did a 5 hour stint last night! :hug:
-
Hi - Cam, just popping in to ask what they do in Gymbaroo.. Apparently one is starting up in term 2 and I was thinking bout putting DS in seeing he'll be 6 months
-
Hi LJ - William is very cute!
Gymbaroo is just play really. I like the fact it gives you time to actually concentrate on playing with them (rather than running off to unload the washing or answer the phone etc). You arrive and sing a little song, then we usually rub something over them which is different each week like a feather or a ball whilst giving them a baby massage. Then we can do a dance with them or use some equipment such as a slippery dip. after that we usually have free time with the equipment and you can do what you like. Our ones have ballons which Luke likes to hit, balls which he likes to play with and skateboards which he likes lying on and being pushed around the room. we then go back in and there is a big parachute with bright colours which the kids lie under or sit up and watch. It goes for 45 minutes which flies. What i described above was the babies class and we move onto the next stage up next term which i guess is more advanced games etc. I don't know about you but I find it really hard to entertain him so this is great for me.
Hope your well by the way...sorry I haven't being on for much chat.... internet is only sometimes up and then when it is Luke usually hates it so I just try and pay the bills and do the necessaties.
Maya - isn't great when the do 5 hours. Luke did 4.5 last night - maybe 5 tonight. Yeah!
-
Cam- Big :hug:. It must be so hard with a little one who wont sleep, the sleeping may just click one day, not giving advice as Im the last person who should but I know DD has only catnapped through the day since 9 weeks and now all of a sudden she is sleeping, hence me saying Im lonely....I miss my little girl, didnt think Id say that when she was only sleeping 20-30 minutes at a time :redface:. If not, I hope SOS is your thing. We sucked at it but as Jen said she had great success and I think KellyD did too. Luke and Gymberoo seem to be a good mix too, wish we had one around here, sounds like great fun!
Ery- :hug:, hun Im sorry you and Ella are having a rough time of it at the moment xxx Not a selfish post at all, I hope it helps to 'let it all' just a bit, you're doing a great job with such a trying time. How did you get on with Tresillian? Is the mastitis improving? Great that you are loving Gymberoo though, at least you have an outlet that you both love doing. Hang in there hun x
LizJessie- By all accounts William should luuuurve Gymberoo!
V-Love, Oz, Maya, Heavenly and all you chickies who havent been on :hello:
-
Hi ladies! hope your all ready for your first easter with ur new babies!!
izzy is getting new sleep suits and a grobag from the easter bunny and charlotte will have an egg hunt and some new pj's!
my first chocolateless easter, its going to suck soooooo bad!!!! damn diabetes!
hope all your partners are home for the long weekend, DF's working unfortunately :(
-
Am I a meanie? No pressies here! DS is lucky to get a bunny - last minute decision!
Skybie - can you have dark chocky?
Everyone stay safe over the holsxxx
-
i can in small amounts....but i have proven time and time again that i can not be trusted when it comes to chocolate!!! so i have banned it all together!
i bought cha cheap eggs so i wont be tempted to touch them!
-
Thanks for the info Cam :) I might have to look into doing it :)
Lily Dust - I'm pretty sure he will, seeing that he loves playing here at home (and there are just times where I just don't feel like playing with him, so it might be good to do)
AFM - William is barely sleeping more than 3 hours... again *sighs* BUT! This time, I put it down to the two lil toothie pegs trying to push their way out (well, one is out and just needs to grow up, the other one is pushing ever so hard to come out)
I haven't actually got DS anything for Easter :redface: I got everyone else something, but not him :( But MIL is getting him a little jar of Chocolate custard for a present - which he can have in 3 and a half weeks time (eep!)
-
LJ I cant believe William is getting teeth. The choc custard is a cute idea.
We aren't getting the kids much for Easter, DS is getting a small egg and egg hunt and a toothbrush (he gets a new toothbrush every Easter) and DD is getting some books (we LOVE books and I buy them every chance I get lol).
DD is sick here, tummy bug this time. Poor little thing hasn't been able to keep anything down. She seems brighter today though and has spent most of today asleep so fingers crossed it passes quickly.
Hope your all having a great Easter weekend.
-
Oz, I can't believe he is either :o One of them is coming through nicely - and you can barely see it if he smiles at you! Books are a good idea, I might have to buy him some when I get back to work.
I've been really lucky atm, DS hasn't been sick once yet - I must be doing something right! :D
-
Dont jinx yourself LJ lol, my DS hardly got sick but this is the second time poor DD has.
-
Skybie- that sux about the chocolate, good on you though not getting any because you would eat it! Well done! I bet Charlotte enjoys the hunt!!!
Maya- you guys stay safe too hun x
Liz- way top go William on little toothypegs :dance:. Sorry you are having troubles with the sleeping, makes thing all that much harder :hug:
Oz- Sorry to hear DD isnt well, I hope she is looking up soon. DD is getting a few books for Easter as well, one she can chew on and others for reading :D. DH is hopeless and buys just about anything the child looks at in the shop so she is getting some talking pig with rabbit ears as well! Im almost as bad and am a sucker on ebay....got her a trinket box shaped like an egg for a keep sake :redface:
AFU- We started solids today!!!! Went with BLS, DD was a little bit excited and had eyes the size of saucers :D. Had a bit of gagging which is apparently normal but still scared the crap outta me :redface:. All in all a big success and broccoli trees were the clear winner fo the day, I just need to steam them a little bit less!
I hope you all have a fantasic Easter and as Maya said....stay safe x
-
oh so quiet in here. Where are you all?
How is everyone going?
We are all good here. DD is up on her hands and knees rocking away. She commando crawls to the toys she wants which is mega cute. NO teeth yet, had lots of nappy rash but doesn't look like anything is happening. Started solids, not a fan of purees so doing BLS here. Loves fruit in her mesh feeder. We are taking it easy with solids and not rushing tho, pleanty of time for food. Still having one feed overnight but its a quick one.
I hope your all well.
-
Hi girls!
how are we all.
Maya hope the move went well and ur all setlled in, and T's ears are all better.
We have our first tooth coming through!! can see it yet but can feel its nasty sharp edges when i put my finger in her gob! she's done really really well with it, i didnt even know it was coming, her necklace must be doing its job well!
No other news really, all very quiet on our end. doing BSL with her too she doesnt like being spoon fed, well unless shes holding the spoon...i dont even need to tell u how that ends up! pmsl.
Hope u and ur bubs are all well
