Watch out for too much iron fortified rice cereal and constipation, seems to be a link around these parts......

Hi everyone!

Well, I'm back home and our wireless internet is back up and running . Yay to DH! We are now using ADSL2, but it is making our VOIP phone dodgy so I'm not sure if I'm happy with it yet.

Last night I put K to bed at 7:30pm, gave him a dreamfeed at 10pm and he slept without waking until 5am! He had a feed and slept until 7:30am. That was unheard of for ages, I am very excited! Hopefully it just gets better and better from now on in. I feel kind of human today . My mum is so wonderful and she is willing to look after us next week if we need it, what would I do without her?!

Ange - Thanks for your comment, it really has been all about survival. Does Lu like her toy?

Viv - Re: solids, what the other girls said. I give K rice cereal in the morning and evening now, he tried pumpkin and sweet potato mixed with his cereal while we were at my mum's and he seemed to like it. I've been giving him the Rafferty's organic rice cereal and he hasn't been constipated with it, it actually has made him poo more often!

Willow - K has forgotten how to sleep past 40 - 55 minutes again. Sooo frustrating! He won't let me resettle him either, I'm not sure what to do with him! I hope L has gone back to normal for you.

Julia - K only rolls from his tummy to his back if that makes you feel any better! He works hard to roll the other way, but he just can't do it. I'm sure Max will roll and then crawl all at once or something lol!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

trish - where do you get rafferty's from? mostly he doesn't have const issues but i notice this last time he did - talk about a fart-bag too. pew. *gag*

also, jj very rarely does longer than a 45m day nap. occasionally he'll sneak in a 1.45 but usually it's short and sweet, up for more play (usually 2 hours).

my poor little boy has been clingy, teary, cranky and all-round miserable today. as usual i put it down to teething. he didn't even like his carseat today. that was sad. either me or dh has had to be with him all day.

raffertys i have seen in safeway/coles... purple soft ziplock pack with a giraffe on it i think. Another goodie is ballamy's organic range, made in tassie.

trish aquarium is great, that is how i resettle her. If i pat her or touch her she goes nuts for me to pick her up. Seems the music is better for us both! thanks. Hope the good sleep continues for you.

Viv - I bought our Rafferty's in Safeway (Woolworths), Ange described the packet exactly. How many naps a day does James have for you and what time do you put him to bed at night? I find it hard to only have 3 naps a day when he only does 40 minutes, it's a killer trying to stretch him out!

Ange - I'm so glad the aquarium resettles her! Maybe I should have kept it and tried it on K (just kidding )! I have another cot toy that I haven't used for a while, I might buy some more batteries and try it out on K again.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Been feeling down in the dumps lately so haven't felt like doing much at all.

Ethan is sleeping fairly well. Still not sleeping through but only waking once a night which is great. He is still not fussed on solids but that is ok.

I am sure that he is teething so he is a cranky little bub but I suppose it all comes with the territory.

Well I have made it back to my pre-pregnancy weight at long last but am still 1 size too big. Doc has told me that I still need to lose some weight for my liver's sake but it is not working too well. She now has me on this really boring diet which eliminates anything tasteful!!!! What upsets me th most is that I thought that I was doing the right thing and eating well but now I really can't have much at all. SO SAD!! Oh well, in 6 months we are going to try for another baby anyway so I only have to put up with it till then.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

Hi Everyone

Saturdays must be the clingy, whingy day of the week coz Max is beeing a real poo!

Just happens I want to get things done and DH is doing the majority of the minding and he's getting annoyed coz he just wants to watch footy...te he...try telling him it's hard to entertain Max...he can't last for 10 mins without telling Max he's being annoying!

I think I'm coming down with a cold or something, feeling VERY average. Not to mention I think I'm PMSing...I want to do a biggest loser style binge on chocolate! sigh!

Well ladeez, my little lady has cut a tooth!
I was thinking she was just getting older, more alert and therefore a little grizzly, but noooo i failed to notice she has a tooth which has cut through her lower gum. It all becomes clear....... nappy rash, waking in the night, grizzly. So, no need to give her back, all is ok! \

alz- here is a great place to be when you feel down in the dumps!

Oh and regarding weight, i don't know what was wrong witht he scales i stood on , but unfortunately when i got on the scales at mum i am NO WHERE near pre preg weight. At least it explains why my clothes still don't fit!!! Still another 7kg's to shed. Ah well. it's slowly coming off. Just another reason for me to keep bf'ing.
