Belle- How big is a big spew? Lu generally has a bit of a spew a couple of times a day, but not alot. And also happens mostly when lying down. Although i put her in the HAB the other day and she spewed down my cleavage! :cryinglaughing:

Definately feel like i am always busy but never do much. i am thinking the rest of my life will be the same!

Bp is getting there, stil have the occasional 160/110 reading but generally it is closer to 140/95, so it is coming down. It just means i have a darn headache alot of the time. But it's getting better! Thanks for asking. xx

STILL don't have a car, DH going to look at a couple today. But spending ALOT of time on computer looking for cars, am over not having a car, but more over trying to find one!

yep sure am still expressing, you should see my freezer lol! i rekon i have 2 weeks supply now and still going strong. anyway was meant to be going to the hossy tomorrow for them to help me with this side line tube thing they got in for me but they rang thismorning and had to change till wed. considering this thing was suppose to be in early next week i think its just yet another set back on the whole bf thing. i can only keep trying for so long and TBH its getting very frustrating when we go through the same routine every single feed for 2 weeks now.

i think my life just consists of changing nappies, feeding, bathing, picking up toys, packing a dishwasher and washing clothes lol! i did have a visitor today but its going on 3pm and all i have done all day is house duties!

thanks Ursula, Bankstown woul dprob be the closest i'll get dh to go there sometime this week.

hi girls and bubbas! WARNIG LOOONG POST!!!!

Myles has just gone done and i have some spare time away from the feeding machine! Everything is going great! He is stil having his feral arvos on some days but is sleeping for up to 7 hours at night! Which is bliss! His eye is better which is great and he is putting on weight really well! last monday he had put on 410g! going to the clinic this arvo to have him weighed again so fingers crossed he has put on some more!

Peta Myles makes noises when he sleeps too! He also makes them when he is feeding its hillarious! The first day home alone is hard hey, but you get used to it pretty quickly!
Dragonbub welcome to the group! congrats on your little prince! We swaddled Myles in hospital but he wont go to sleep unless he has his arms out! he looks like a cooked chicken when he is in his wondersuits lying like that!lol!
nickers i am using huhhies atm untill we get some mcns and we found that the odd nappy would leak! but we just make sure now its on tight and up far enough on his back! By the way you are the milk machine wow 7-8 days supply! i cant stand it when he has slept a little longer and there full! hope your not in pain! So glad your nans funeral was nice! It probably was her having the last say with the rain!
kotten! wow your bubba is getting lots to eat isnt he!
ursula thanks the pics are pretty cute hey! Hope maddis is more settled and not in too much pain with her reflux!
Catherine welcome to you and gorgeous rochelle! Iwas a little worried when we first went out with the BF but it gets easier and i dont care who sees me now cause im keeping my baby alive and trying to be a good mum so they can get lost if they have a problem! Like ange said the parents rooms are great! but you should do whatever feels comfy for you and Rochelle!
leah i found a hot shower with a face washer on my boobs worked really well for pain! hope all your family are well and didnt get the gastro!
celctic hope your feeling better soon! i would see your dr about it hurting when going to the tiolet! I had a epi and and episotimy and i have been fine so i would go see your DR!
Ange i thought i wrote yours but it disapeared!.. found it! hope your dh didnt get the dry retching relflex when little L had her poo-splosion! Myles poo is excatcly the same the middies said its just how it is spose to be when BF!

Well i started this post at 10:30 this morning and now only finishing it as Myles has been really unsettled! Its very humid today so it may be that! Just had him weighed too he has put on 210g which is great! He is sleeping now so will go try to catch some zs myself!
Sorry if i missed anyone! hope your all well!
xo

Maddi has been very unsettled these last two days, we only got 3 hours sleep last night, hoping tonight will be better.

Ange love the new pic of Lu she has such bright blue eyes, Maddi seems to have inherited Phil's brown eyes.

We have been using huggies & Maddi has leaked out of them a few times as well, always seems to happen when were going out some where.
Maddi hates being wrapped up if i do wrap her her arms have to be out of the blanket.

Amber glad Myle's eye is getting better & wtg on the weight gain

Hi All,

Still no Gastro but I won't feel like we are OK until about Wednesday.
Amara is doing the usual fall asleep as soon as I cuddle her and then wakes as soon as I put her down. I am worried about how it is going to go when Gary is back at work, I won't be able to get anything done and Eliza will be worse than she already is. We are having some issues about being ontop of Mummy at the moment even if it means climbing over the baby.......sigh I guess it is to be expected and I just have to say "this too shall pass" One baby was definitely easier LOL!

I have tried a ring sling but she hates it and I must admit she looks uncomfortable in it. She is too little for the Ergo yet so hoping the wrap carrier my friend is making me does the trick.

Re nappies, we use MCN but I have used a couple of sposies and I am finding the same they leak more than my cloth ones so I have used the last one and not bought any more. They were Coles Homebrand. I am using Baby Beehinds Bamboos for nights as she occaisionally does have a longer sleep then. Last night was 10.30pm, 3.30am and then 7.30am which was pretty good.

Anyone know when you are supposed to start tummy time?

**Khaleesi** · October 29th, 2007, 03:48 PM

Leah Maddi is the same, but she is getting better i can lay her down in the cot for naps during the day if i'm really lucky.
Hope the wrap carrier works for you.
Glad you still don't have gastro yet

Our Nurse told us to start tummy time at 2 weeks, Maddi loves laying on her tummy, she loves it even more if she's laying on mine or Phil's tummy lol

**petachristy** · October 29th, 2007, 03:53 PM

We tried the boiled water several times last night and Kaylee just screwed up her face and refused to suck! But she would take a formula top-up!? For now we continue with the S26 Gold (have 2 tubs in the cupboard) and will continue to add a little extra water. Will discuss with child health nurse tomorrow when we go to the clinic to get weighed... as for nights when I mentioned it to her before, she just said that it's just the way it is with some babies, and may take weeks to get into a routine

... I think K is getting a bit better at night and/or I'm just coping better.

Belle - totally know what you mean, all the hours and days roll together, I have to think to work out what day it is! And def feel busy, yet not getting much done... you are not alone!!

I feel like I've got a cold *cry*!

**Junglemum** · October 29th, 2007, 04:10 PM

We have been having tummy time since about day 2.......

**qhi** · October 29th, 2007, 08:34 PM

Hey everyone, not much to say...only that I look with envy at all the mums of one! I remember being able to focus just on my baby, oh, it was bliss!

Having 2 is hard, but it's also nice. Will stripped Theo's bed today when we had a nappy blow out, then sang him a lullaby version of the Transformers theme song, while I re-made the bed with fresh sheets!

Theo is doing pretty good. We have a couple of unsettled times in the day, but mostly they are in social hours, not over night, so I am getting pretty good rest!

Hope everyone else is going well.

**visitor1** · October 30th, 2007, 03:17 AM

Will come in and chat when i find time...just wanted to say hope everyone is doing well..

Jasmine is going good.....BF isnt so fun....so i dotn do it...instead i FF and use EBM for 2/3 feeds....

I have made Jas's site...click her name for pics.

Take care all...

**nickers** · October 30th, 2007, 06:38 AM

Just thought i'd mention it. BB does a secret santa which if you want to be a part of it need to email in by tomorrow! i did it last year it was fun, lucky i only seen the thread yesterday!

last year my baby buddies group did their own secret Santa. If we got enough interest in here i would run just for us. Let me know if your keen and i'll get the ball rolling. Usually say $10-20 excluding postage and need to be sent 4wks before xmas.

qhi- yep totally agree with more then one children lol!
Kim- each EBM Jas gets is extra goodies for her so keep it up whilst you can but your doing a great job and i know what expressing with a bub and another one around is like, not easy so well done!

got a good sleep last night. went to bed about 9.30pm after expressing. DH did the next feed 11.30pm. I woke at 4.15am with dolly partons on my chest Tyron started to stir i quickly expressed and got 340ml!! went to go get him and he was asleep again. laid back down thinking might get another 10mins, woke up to him at 6am!
so he did a 6.5hr gap but i pretty much had a full nights sleep, feels good!

**ninja_turtle** · October 30th, 2007, 10:23 AM
