Well had a bad night with katelyn and her cold she only slept in hour and a half lots so was up most of the night. She seems find during the day and gets worse at night. Don't think the panadol does much I am wondering if they can prescribe her antibiotics to clear it up as she has had it well over a week now.
Thanks to you all for thinking of me! Yes, things should be better after MIL leaves tomorrow. She has been doing a lot of washing for me though so I will probably be busier!
Ally, poor Katelyn. I hope she gets better soon.
Emma. glad the visit went well and you both got spoilt. I think the broken sleep does catch up eventually. Try and get a daytime nap when you can. I wish I could more often!!
Kathryn, wow, 1 month already. Congrats. How are you managing with 3 boys? Yes, we are over all the visitors. MIL has been with us since the day I got out of hosp. My Mum has been up although she didn't stay with us, BIL just left this arvo and now Dad is arriving on Wed. We will be very glad to get back to normal with just us. The only thing I will probably miss is the luxury of going out and leaving one or more sleeping boys here!
Belinda, I have been out with both boys by myself a few times now and find it does get less daunting as you go. The best thing about MIL being here is that if Tom is asleep I can duck out without him so I'm about to lose that luxury. But I have managed when I've been out with them both. Luckily it's not too hard getting them in and out of the car, aside from the obvious bit about only 1 of me with 2 of them! LOL!! I'm glad you enjoyed your "me" time. I haven't even thought about Christmas yet.
Christy, huge congrats and welcome. I am looking forward to reading about your VBAC. I hear you on the milk. I was so engorged both times. This time it was so bad the midwives told me to express all the milk I could. They couldn't believe it when they came back to find 440mls in bottles ready to go into the fridge. The next morning the new midwife came in and said they were all talking about my huge milk supply!
Tegan, I'm so pleased you are getting smiles from your little boy. All you need now is some more sleep! I hope the doc is able to help you. It sounds like it could be reflux. At least if it is you can try medication and maybe accupuncture and hopefully get some improvement.
Kirsty, what a shame about your jug. At least you know now. I hope Jaz is more settled now. LOL at the eating. I eat a lot normally, even more pg and even more again when bfing. I was the same with Jack. In fact when I was first pg with Tom I was still bfing Jack and you should have seen how much I ate then!! They joked about it all the time at work - one day someone asked where the stapler was and someone else replied "maybe Mel ate it!".
Kate, I'm glad the accupuncture (or something else you are doing) seems to have helped Rylee. Is she still doing better? I hope you enjoy the birthday party.
Hi to Britney, Marion and anyone else I've missed. I will have to post more often - it takes so long to catch up when you fall behind with personals!
Tom wasn't so good last night. He woke every 3.5 hours and was up for over an hour each time. I think he was having trouble pooing. That seemed to have fixed itself this afternoon however - big time IYKWIM!! His crying obviously bothered MIL - she commented to DH this morning that it sounded like he was crying all night. Bring on tomorrow!! He also has been unsettled today and not slept much until now. After the big poos he fell asleep and hasn't stirred since!!
Well pretty sure charlie has reflux. He's been screaming all day and has had a few little spews today also which seem to hurt him. Poor little thing. Cant get into a doctor for a few days though. Not sure if i can watch him in pain for that long!
Tegan: Sorry to hear Charlie is in pain for you, you cant ring them and get an emergency appointment tommorow, if you go there regular they will usually do that, even if you have to see another doctor there, best of luck with it
Also you could talk to the chemist as they may suggest something he can try now he is over a month old
Morning girls. Must have been the night for 3.5hrly feeds ;) Ashton seemed to feed alot more generally all day yesterday and last night, but I think that is cause the weather is a tad cooler, so wanting more.
Ally - I hope Katelyn is feeling better soon. I don't think they give antibiotics this young although not entirely sure. Is she congested at night ??
Melanie - it isn't actually too bad with the 3 boys at the moment. Ask me again when Ashton gets on the move and I have to chase after 3 LOL. At least I know where he is at all times for now ;)
Well it is raining on and off here today and we have kindy/playgroup to attend that I have to walk too. So that will be interesting as it will be the first time Lachlan would have to walk in the rain. Hopefully we can time it between showers :)
Love
Ally, with Jack as he is a bit snuffly my dr said to put a few drops of saline solution inhis nostrils about 10min before a feed, as they (babies) are nose breathers helps to clear their ariways
Hey Girls
No time for personals today as I ahve 2 clingy girls that just want me. Gem has the flu and a temp and Jaz is constipated I think. I had them both in tears wanting me and cuddles. I've just got them both down for naps...................Might go ahve a coffee as I haven;t even managed to ahve anything yet. A red bull would probably be better!LOL!
Kirsty: PMSL at the red bull :) hope they have a rest for you so you can have that coffee
Kate: Yes i have shops in walking distance with woolies and stuff there so not too bad
Kate sorry to hear you arent getting much sleep, hope things improve soon for you
Kathryn: hope the rain stays away for you to get to playgroup
Well wasnt a bad night here, fed Cooper at 9pm, Dh got him at 2am then he woke me at 7am, i didnt feel like getting up so fed him in bed and then he went back to sleep till 9am, Luke had snuck Mason up and kept him quiet so he didnt have to go to school, sneaky boy, but i didnt really care that much this morning about school
Pretty warm here today, going to put Mason down for his nap and might go to shops when they get up, still umming and ahhing about it lol, wish i would just do it and get it over with
Rain held off YAY. Quite a nice day now, just a cold wind blowing.
Had to laugh at the red bull as well. I am sitting here drinking iced coffee. Argh and the boobies just filled up so that means you know who is going to be stirring shortly LMAO. God I am sure he can smell it from where he is just starting making noises, little bugger.
Belinda - go to the shops will you LMAO. You'll be fine :D
Love
haha i am still sitting here thinking about it, and its too hot now, what a shame i cant do it lol
Will just go when Dh is home now so then i can go solo :)
Maybe tommorow lol
Kate: Sorry to hear she has reflux, hope she can have something to ease it, and unfortunatley i have to use the car twice a day for school run, so cant avoid it, but at least then they just stay in the car for the round trip and then home again
Well hooray! We've had a lovely MIL free day today. MIL rang to say it's really cold in Melbourne and she wishes she was back here. What the??? MIL and FIL are moving back to Brissy at the end of the year - hopefully they'll settle a suitable distance away!!
Last night was 3.5 hourly feeds again. LOL at Kathryn putting it down to cooler weather, I'm putting down to hotter weather!! Maybe it's just one of those things!! It has been really hot here today and still is so we'll see if my theory holds up.
Kate, what a shame you have to go through the whole reflux thing again. I hope it settles.
Kirsty, hope you got your coffee. LOL at the red bull. I'm bfing so wouldn't even dare have coffee. I just ate chocolate and then thought uh oh, I'm probably going to regret that LOL!! Oh well.
I'm off to bed now. I hope all our bubs give us a good night's sleep!!
Melanie I quite often have coffee while b/feeding LOL. On wednesdays at playgroup I usually have 2 in the space of 2.5hrs... rofl @ the mother-in-law as well.
Belinda - LMAO @ not attempting the shops.
Kate - Sorry to hear rylee is getting worse. That is good that she has continued to put on weight though. You wearing rylee reminded me to get the HAB out of the car, cause tomorrow it is only drop Kam into kindy day and come home again, so we don't take the pram.
Love
Well have someone from online i know coming up this way at the end of the week, maybe i might attempt going out then if we end up catching up lol, was nearly going to walk to shops today but my legs are stuffed so waited for DH to get home lol and took Mason for a drive instead
Rofl !! Sounds like me Belinda....any excuse ;) Although have done 3 kids and shops alone.
i should really head to bed I guess. Ashton is due around midnight and it is already 10.30pm :eek: LOL
love
Well your doing well to do that :) or crazy lol
Hope you get a good sleep in, DH will be waking up to Cooper overnight so i am done thankfully
No sleep in here lmao. Andrew goes to work at 6am and lachlan is usually up around 6.30am.
Rofl I think I am more on the crazy side ;)
Love
Yeah same here, Bill goes to work same time, but he still gets nightshift lol, but i let him go to bed at 7.30 usually so he gets plenty of sleep before the wakeup call
Oh i meant hope you get a good sleep in as in just sleeping in general not sleeping in lol
like that would ever happen lol
Nitey nite :)
Goodmorning ladies
We had a good night.....up every 3.5hours and she slept so well and was easy to put down after a feed, no crying at all...yay!!!
Have a house inspection today, great! The place always looks like a bomb has hit it cause of Gem!
Kate-Don't have a hab but we do have a carrier, but I'm looking at geting one off ebay that I can comfortably wear around the house. Gem's sick at the moment so shes so clingy and a carrier would be ideal.
Ouchies at the infection Emma. Sorry can't help you with colic we have been lucky enough not to have had any kids with it.
Ashton woke at midnight for a feed then was up again just over 2 hrs later, but then slept for 5 hours. He has been a bit unsettled this morning himself, but basically fed from 7am till 10.30am, he is now sound asleep. Have just put the HAB on so we can go and get Kameron from kindy.
Love
Sorry cant help either with the colic, and i dont think they can have anything for it till after a month old, Luke had it and it was so bad so i can feel for you, hope it was just a bad night and things get better
Had a good night here also, DH got up at 3.30 and then Cooper didnt get up till right when we had to leave for school, so i risked it and put him in the car and hoped he would not want bottle till we got back, of course he screamed all the way back, was horrible but i knew he wasnt starving to death and had to get luke to school, so he was fine of course once he got his bottle at home, I put a blanket over the capsule to stop the sun going in his eyes and Mason steals it!! Used to have a fitted cover for the capsule when i had luke, might have to have a look online if someone makes them
Must weigh Cooper too, i havent as yet, that would mean i would have to leave the house lol :)
time for a new thread for us girls
Love
