Babies Born October 2007 #23

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.

Hi All,

We also have TOOTH!!!! Yesterday it appeared. No warning really except maybe a bit clingy and buckets of drool. LOL, she is so cruisy.

Julia - Don't worry, we also have a stationary lump here! She gets up on the hip if she REALLY wants something but no rolling.....sigh

Thanks for the lovely comment Willow , if they don't sell Amara will have some purty nappies!

Played soccer today arrggghhhhh I am old, fat and unfit waaaaaaaaaaa!!! We did win BUT it was sad playing against kids that were LESS than half my age. What was I thinking?

Made Jamie Olivers slow roasted lamb for dinner OMG!! it was divine!

Night all,

Morning all

Things plodding along here. Nothing too exciting happening. Ho hum...

Congrats to all the bubs teething. Hopefully they are treating the mummies well while its happening. No signs of a second tooth cutting through here. Rash on the bot has all but gone, still doing pooey nappies, but no other adverse signs.

Going to a workshop this week on intro to solids. Looking forward to it.

As I said very dull here. Going off to be boring somewhere else. LOL

ROFL saffi- you can come be boring with me. i feel pretty boring these days!

A tooth one day and all fours crawling the next. Wonder if she'll do the washing for me tomorrow? wishful thinking.

so can we say that nappy rash at the current time is likely to be part of the teething set of problems?

little boy has a bot rash and some little red spots elsewhere. i see what they mean about all these different symptoms. he has the drool cough, excessive drool, increased reflux, the rash, irritability, sleep disturbance, clinginess and... the list goes on.

i wonder at what point i should take him to see his quack. i just hope he pops these fangs soon.

for those of you whose bubs have popped, did they go back to normal afterwards? he ended up sleeping in my arms on the couch from 4am to 6am. every time i put him back in his cot before that he just fussed for 20 minutes and started crying again. teething must really suck. i'm glad i don't remember it. DH says he does remember it from when he was about 2 or something. how weird is that?

also, does anyone have the clean shopper trolley cover? i'm looking at getting one. do they have to be self-supported sitting before they can use it?
