Trish i'm going to try my hardest not to find out but i have no will power so who knows lol.
Poor K seem like every 2nd day our babies have a new bump etc..
Yay for K mastering the C Crawling look out world!
Hope everyone feel better soon Trish.
M was up from 3am til 5:30am she's getting her 8th tooth & it really seems to annoy her in the early morning.
Well I'll do my best to pressure you between now and your 20 week scan :P! Ick at the early morning wake ups, I can't believe she's onto tooth #8! K still only has his bottom two.
Spose I'd better get him out of bed, he's been awake for 20 minutes, but likes to play in his cot for a while before getting up.
Hey guys it has been real quiet in here lately hasnt it!? I guess all our little (not little for too much longer!!) ones are keeping us all busy.
It is tummy bug central here. I had to keep C out of d/are on Wednesday cause she vomited and now DH and I are both alternating turns on the toilet all day. Of course he is worse than me. Dont know if thats karma or what but either way I feel like carp.
Just a quick question. I would really like to start C on white/cheese sauce with her finger vegetables...does anyone know if it is safe to use the stuff that you can get ina tin from gravox for bubs or do I need to make a fresh load every time?? I know I am just looking for shortcuts but am doing my head in trying to finish work at 5 get home and have her dinner ready before 6 when she turns feral and thenjust refuses to eat!
Anyway - had better go get the little munchkin for daycare. Have been scrubbing my hands all day with that antibacterial stuff!! Hope she doesnt get this!!
Bec
MWAH
Hi everyone.
Mo - Mateo has been waking in the early morning with his top teeth coming through as well. I have been giving him a dose of panadol before bed so maybe it starts to wear off at this time? Congrats on the pregnancy by the way!! Very exciing! I'm jealous - I'd love to be pregnant again!!!
Trish - hope you are all feeling better!! It's awful when all the family is sick. Kieran sounds like he's really up and about now - there'll be no stopping him!
Rebecca - I always seem to post after your food q's and I probably give you the answers you don't want to hear!!! I would use slices of real cheese to have with her vegies if you want her to get some dairy or melt some cheese on top of them. I just think gravox sauces and processed stuff is just empty food totally deviod of any nutrients for little bubbas - but feel free to totally ignore me too!!!
Well today I had to do something very scary - I had to book my boy into daycare!!!!! I am back at work 2 days next term and my Mum has him one day but no-one for the second! So, went to one that my friend uses, walked into the nursery and one baby was feeding himself a bottle in a playpen, one was sitting in a highchair, one was in a cot and the other was in a capsule crying while the lady was making another bottle in the kitchen. And all I could think of was that at home Mateo gets sung to and read to and played with and fed all snuggled up against me. I asked the lady what they did during the day and she said they sometimes go outside and that she didn't really know what else to tell me! I walked out and nearly went into a hyperventilation panic attack afterwards!!!! OK, a little dramatic I know! Anyway, went to another one and was much, much lovelier - nice girls, lovely play area, bubbies all happy and playing and not confined to closed spaces and big sandpit outside that they get to play in all throughout the day. So feel better, but still a little scared - any words of advice from Mums that have done this?
Star i was thinking the same thing, because it's always around the same time, can't wait for it to pop through.
Sorry no help with the daycare & thank-you
Rebecca i do what Star said & just melt some real cheese over M's food, she loves it.
I don't see why it wouldn't be fine to use the packet stuff tho, esp if your adding water & not milk.
Trish if i crack & find out the gender i'll blame you for putting too much pressure on me
M took 3 steps by herself this evening, then fell on her butt so now she's back to crawling lol
Scary to think she'll just start walking soon, She's growing up too quickly!!!
I'm back! Actually nearly didn't make it home. Got to airport after they'd closed the flight. Luckily they'd re-opened it for me. I had had enough of Townsville and wanted to be back with my boys (sorry Rebecca - IK you love the place). DH did a great job keeping everything ticking along. He's clocked off now so I will be doing the night shift. I figure I owe him.
Oh, and it was so good to see L's face when he saw me. He was so happy and excited and recognised me. I missed him so much and I swear he's grown.
Terri- I found that I needed to trust my instincts when it came to choosing daycare. Eventho L's daycare centre needs a paint job the staff and Director are really great and everytime I spoke with them when I was looking I always got good feelings. Have you looked into family daycare? There are a number of providers out your way. L has certainly developed heaps since he's been in daycare and has done things like painting and craft since he has been going: things I wouldn't have thought of doing with him. Mo - it seems like you have been pg forever already and you're not even out of the first tri. Rebecca - Great memory. We were up there at new years. I used to live there and hadn't been back for 20 years and then twice in less than a year.
I think Heinz do a white sauce for babies. I'll hunt down some recipes for you and PM them. I think you might be able to freeze them and then just defrost or put them into the m'wave. Honestly I think it comes down to being organised, knowing at breakfast what you're going to give her at dinner. Thats what works for me, both for L's meals and ours.
Are you feeling any better? Trish - K is certainly making up for his slow start. Amber/Ange - see you on Sunday.
Milk - I was reading somewhere (here?) that its okay to cook with milk as heat changes it as is not the same as cold milk.
Daycare report that L was waving today! He does these involuntary waves so will need to test if he can do them on purpose.
Trish - sorry to hear you are all sick. But it's good to hear K is on the move. I swear Max is going to sit on his ar$e for ever! Took him to physio today and he cried and cried and cried! I don't know what to do short of forcing him along the floor. The poor thing must be soooooooo frustrated! Makes me want to cry! (we can both do it together!)
Mo - Go on....find out....I dare you! I'll put the pressure on!!!
Bec - You can get Heinz white sauce in the baby section (I haven't used it) so maybe add some real cheese to that? I give Max anything pretty much so I'm probably not the best one to ask. Yesterday he had cupcakes with green icing! Hope things get better your way.
Star - That first DC sounded awful! Obviously not enough adults in the room for kids (ratio). I have not done this personally with Max (nor do I want to!) but I WAS going to be a Child Care worker so did some study. CCW are supposed to observe children and plan / programme days with activities to suit development etc. (well that is a qualified CCW) I guess the best thing to do is ask if they do activities in the babies room and what kind (water play, sand play etc.) You will be happier to leave M in a place that has enough adult:child ratio, that way he can get a bit more attention (there is a minimum anyway probably). I know for sure when I did CC that I was a nut for the kids so spent a lot of time playing / observing them. It was FUN...and look at me now...my kid can't even crawl! If you go into a place and you see the kids happy and content, then it's probably not a bad place to leave them.
Other news....Max had a white 'spot' on his gum where his top tooth is coming down. Has anyone seen these before? It wasn't the tooth (wish it was though!). Now it looks like it's popped....?
Trish- ouch poor Kieran. they do get many bumps and bruises at this age dont they! I had 2 gf come over yesterday with a 14month old and 3 month old. The 14m old took a liking to biting Tyrons head and bit him 3-4 times on his forhead....... his mum felt pretty bad, he's still a baby himself but everytime Tyron came near him he'd open his mouth and try and sink his teeth into his head! He has these 3 strange bitemarks which lead into like a scracth mark when he has tried to clamp down poor bub. He's a toughy though Tyron, i seriously dont remember Nixon getting so many bumps etc at such an early age (prob because he wasnt as mobile as Mr Ty)
He now thinks he can stand up in the bath, crawl in the bath, lay on his tummy in the bath etc!
Nison woke at 6.30am thismorning which is an hr early for him and he didnt sleep ALL DAY. he usually has between 1.5 and 3hrs sleep so no idea how he kept on.... he started falling asleep whilst eating dinner but slack mummy wasnt going to let him to go to sleep at 5.30pm. he got a second wind when dh came home.
I havent spoken to claire for a few weeks but she was moving house so no doubt very busy and trying to get everything organised. she may not even have her pc set back up as yet
Hi all,
I'll do a proper catch up soon, just wanted to let you all know that we have finally moved so been really busy and was without internet for a while. Still unpacking and sorting stuff out, but getting there slowly. Bella has adapted to the move really well, slept all night like usual. Hope everyone is well and I'll be back properly soon.
Hi ladies
I have been sick, so thats why I havent been around much, got a horrible tummy bug, cant keep much food down, although I am feeling a abit better today.
Amber - congratulations on being a finalist
Trish - hope your feeling better now, K will be moving around all over the place now! i agree about loving this age too, they are so cute. Tahlia has been making this noise with her lips, and I think it might be kisses, cause I am always blowing her kisses... so cute
Rebecca - hope things are getting better for you, feel free to vent whenever you need to!
Mo - way to go on M taking some steps, it sure is scary thinking that they will be walking soon
Hi to everyone else - DH has just taken T out so I can rest, so I guess I should be doing that rather than being on here!
Hi everyone - if anyone is there - been a bit quiet in here today!
Anyway - things here have been a bit crappy. Caitlyn has done nothing but sook all day and of course H wasn't home as per usual. So all day all I have had is her screaming and crying and tanty throwing. Don't know what I am doing wrong or not doing or whether she is teething or waht but am basically at the end of my tether!
Oh I was drying her after her bath tonight and I have noticed a very little hole just above her little bot bot hole! Am just a little concerned (spot the sarcasm!!) Am going to ring the Dr tomorrow and get her in to see them - was a bit of a shock - has anyone heard of anything liek this???
Scared *****less there is something wrong!! I dont know if poo comes outof it - will have to check that out I guess to let the Dr know! I hadnt noticed it before!
Anyway - had better go get dinner ready with Dh. Hope you all had a great day!
Thanks for the advice guys - am starting to feel better about it all now. I suppose it is a hard thing for any Mum to do!
Julia - are you still going to be a childcare worker?
Nerida - your daycare sounds lovely! I don't know whether this one does craft with them - will have to ask.
Nerida, Amber, Ange - had a lovely time in the park - thankyou! Was great to catch up and see all the bubbas together - they're all so gosh damn cute, could have munched them all up!! :-)
To everyone else, hope your weekend has been lovely.
Rebecca i dont know what it could be? I would be really worried too. go see the dr i am sure they will know! Hope it turns out ok!
Terri, Ange Nerida, was great fun today! Good meeting you IRL Ange! i agree Terri they wer all so cute! Cant wait to see some pics!
Kellie hope you feel better soon!
Dianne thats great Bella was ok with the move! Hope you get everything soretd quickly!
Nic woohoo Ty on getting mobile! Hope nixon sleeps better for you!
Mo woohoo Maddi on 3 big steps! It must be so exciting seeing her walk! Hows the pg going?
julia Myles had a white spot on some of the gum before a tooth came through? Did it come through or was he just teasing?
Hi Trish, Viv, Becky, willow....umm i cant remember anymore sorry?
Well not much happening here, Myles is still a bit snotty but i think he is getting more teeth so i will blame that Other than that we are good, Myles slept a bit better last night he didnt come into my bed till about midnight so i got a few good hours sleep!
We had a nice weekend, we are all feeling sick still though so we took it fairly easy. We went and saw the Art Deco exhibition which was really fascinating. K slept in his Ergo like a good boy, he looked up at me with one eye open at one stage, just to check I was still there LOL!
Speaking of sleep, K has been having 2 huge naps a day, yesterday he had a 2 hour morning nap, then a 2 1/2 hour afternoon nap, he then slept from 7:30pm to 7:30am with no wake ups ! If only he'd do that EVERY day! He seems to be extending his day naps though, I'm getting so much more done. I did a big kitchen clean up this morning while he napped, may as well make the most of it.
Amber - How's Myles' rash going? Hopefully it's clearing up.
Star - I hope you get Mateo into the daycare centre you were happy with. It's a huge thing, I don't think I'd cope very well! I hope it all goes smoothly .
Rebecca - Poor Caitlyn! I hope she is OK, have you been to the Dr yet?
Kellie - You poor thing . There seems to be some gastro going around lately. I hope you're feeling better today.
Dianne - I'm glad the move went well. Have you moved much further away from where you were? Bella's a good girl sleeping all night still!
Nic - Poor Tyron! I hope those bite marks go away soon. I wouldn't be inviting that friend over again LOL! Thanks for letting us know about Claire, she sounds very busy.
Julia - K always cries at the chiro, even if he hasn't touched him yet! And he HATES it when I try and get him to get up on his knees. Max will work it out soon! K finally worked it out when he saw something he REALLY wanted, a balloon. Have you tried tempting Max to move with something like that? It sounds like you have probably tried everything! He'll probably just get up and walk one day LOL!
Saffi - Glad you're back from Townsville safe and sound. How cute that L is waving!
Mo - Wow @ Maddi for taking 3 steps! That's how it all starts you know .
Anyway, better run. K is trying to unplug my laptop...
Rebbeca- No idea either, Hope you get some answers today.
Amber feel ok, just really tired can't wait for this stage to pass.
Glad you QLD gals had a lovely time with Ange & Lu.
Julia-I agree with Trish he'll probably just walk one day lol. I read that some babies just don't crawl.
Kellie-Hope you feel better soon.
We were visiting one of M's great Aunties yesterday & she was showing off by taking a few steps by herself when she fell & cracked her cheekbone on the coffee table.
She only cried for 1min then was all smiles but she has this lovely bruise which takes up most of her cheek now. I dread to think how bruised she'll be by her first b'day.

Aww Mo is she ok! Poor bubba! when Myles had the fat lip i swear people thought i had given it to him, i kept having to start my convos with "he fell at the drs" lol! Hope you feel better soon too!
Trish he still has the rash but it is looking more like ezcema I think he may have soriasis(sp?) Dh has it and its heriditary so am thinking i might take him to a skin specialist! they are great sleeps K is having, can he come speak to Myles
Hope everyone is having a fabbo day! We just visited my friend woth the twins and they are so gorgeous! keeps my clukiness at bay
Amber she's fine thanks goodness.
I know what you mean about the looks, My MIL likes to tell everyone how Maddi swallowed the glass & you should see they looks people give me, As if i broke the bottle & forced feed it to her.
One of my nephew's suffers from psoriasis, i know it caused him some trouble when he was a baby/toddler but as he has gotten older it's gotten alot better.
Hope it clears up soon for Myles & you.
