Hi everyone,
Just a quick message letting you know that I'll try to get on here more often and to touch base on how Loralei is doing. I haven't been on here for months so we all will need to be reaquainted.
Loralei has a cold at the moment so we're not getting much sleep here as she's keeping me up coughing and crying. I'm off to the doctor tomorrow so hopefully we'll see an improvement quickly. The coughing is brought on by her not being able to breathe properly though her nose and last night it sounded like it has gone to her chest a bit. She's sleeping at the moment, quite peacefully.
Loralei is moving about quite a lot. She rolls around all over the lounge room and has made a few appearances at the kitchen door to find me. I caught her day before yesterday twice up on her knees so crawling won't be too far off I don't think. Time to re-babyproof the house again. She absolutely adores her big sisters, her face lights up when she sees them and will make funny noises at them to get their attention. She's grown so much since I was last on here weighing around 8kg and is in size 00 and some of these are straining in length and width. Loralei hasn't taken to solids very well yet. I've attempted every second day without success, she just doesn't seem to know what to do with it yet. Her mouth will open but the tongue pushes the lot back out over and over again.
Anyway, I've got to get lunch for DD2 and myself.
Bye for now,
Cathy
Loralei is all healthy again. My dr checked her thoroughly last Friday and said just to keep an eye on her temperature but everything is fine now. I had the booster shot for Whooping Cough while I was there. Has anyone else had theirs done?
Hi everyone,
I haven't been in here for ages. This thread hasn't been moving very quickly so i haven't missed out on much.
Maddy is doing really well, rolling around everywhere, i don't think it will be long before she is crawling. Sometimes she gets up on her knees and rocks a bit. She has got her two front teeth, they came at about 5mths, i didn't even know until they appeared one day. She had no grizzling from them, but now i think they annoy her. She rubs her ears alot.
She has began waking in the night now (she slept through from 4wks), and i'm struggling to get her out of the habit. Its making me really tired and i don't know what to do. Last night she fed at 6pm, went to sleep at 8, i woke her for a dream feed at 10:30pm, she woke at 2:30am for a feed, 5:15am for a feed and was then awake for the day at 6:30am. I've posted in another area of belly belly to get some help and so far there has been a litle.
We went to swimming yesterday and she loved it. I dunked her head underwater, she got a little fright but was ok. I'm hoping to get her into lessons soon but i can't believe how expensive it is, they want $62.00 a month. Is it worth taking them to lessons when they are this young?
She is now weighing 6.2kg, so quiet little. she hasn't gained much weight in the last 2mths but te MCHN wasn't too concerned as she looks healthy and isn't under weight.
Curl: we are not having much sucess with solids. i'm not sure whether to persist or just stop and try again in a week or so. She is very interpentent and loves to put the spoon in her mouth herself, so i am going to buy and food holder, that you put food into a net and they suck through it, its a bit like a dummy with a net on the end. She tried one yesterday with banana and loved it.
I better go Maddy is crying, hope to her from you all soon.
Love Angie
Hi Ladies,
i hope you don't mind if i join your thread, i've been lurking around bellybelly for a while now but hadn't noticed this was here!
Riley was born on the 18th of September after a spontaneous 4 hour natural labour, he was in a hurry! he was 2.8kg and 49cm.
We had a bit of a rocky start.. bf troubles, tounge tie, reflux and all the normal newborn first baby things, but there just babies right? thats what they do.. all has settled down, he is a very happy calm little boy. going great with he solids, loves food! two little teeth and commando crawling- think i might have my hands full!
been a while since i wrote... been so busy with Shayla. she is totally crawling everywhere... she started at 5 and half months. she is standing up when holding furniture and is just now trying to walk around the furniture. no teeth yet, but they must be coming soon, cos she gets grisly every now and then, and bonjella helps
hope everyone is well! will write again soon i hope.
Fatguts - welcome to the thread, we've been a little slow moving, but it seems that things are picking up! Riley sounds like a little champ, great he's going so well after a rocky start.
Tazzy - Wow Shayla sounds like she's motoring along! My Xander is showing absolutely no signs of crawling yet teheh. He just got his first tooth yesterday!
Oopsadaisy - we're with you on not taking solids well. X is a big boofer at about 9.4kg but he doesn't like solids much either. He loves to stick out his tongue and just let all the food fall/dribble off! It's very funny, but means he doesn't swallow much. I'll be interested to see how you go with the net thingo. Those bad nights sound awful too! Fingers crossed they improve for you.
Curl - don't think I've had a booster for Whooping Cough done... shall have to check into that.
gobblygook - any teeth yet?
Chris - oh gosh I told you about it, then haven't posted for ages, oops! Hope all is going well with you and your beautiful bubba girl.
We're going ok here. My DH did his back about 3 weeks ago and hasn't been able to do a thing... eeep! Now i know just how much he used to help around the house! So it's been a bit busy, but I've got mum visiting from interstate (arrived yesterday) so that's making a big difference. Plus X cut his first tooth yesterday and has been very unsettled! Hopefully it'll settle down a bit now!
