Ruby sleeps in a bassinet in my room.I hear every little fart and groan too! If i put her in her room she will wake millana up as ruby still awakes every 3hrs.little turkey.
Well maz,those lights sound fun.Hope that headache goes for you mate.
Adele a headache that long is probably from tiredness and stress.Only a miracle gets rid of those 2 things!
Not much else happening,i ironed millanas clothes,made cupcakes and did washing.Now the arvo is mine and hopefully the 2 angels behave...
my headache is gone now. i got my depo provena shot today and it was gone 10 min after having that done they think it might have been my cycles causing the headaches to last that long. who knows.
riley still sleeps in my room cause he wake every 3 to 4 hr sometime 2hrs.
well im off to find some k k pressies have no idea what to get still.
:)
Adele
finally 5 1/2 hrs after waking we have crashed and not too soon I say my back an dshoulders were going to give way I think
NO ME TIME! Ruby wide awake and she wants me to hold her all the time.I get so fustrated sometimes as i want to do stuff around the house.Oh well better go pick her back up,again.
Maz- I like that idea bout the fairy lights I have some away in the cupboard that i pull out each xmas and string round the lounge, this year Ash will love staring at them.
The felt pictures that I put up in her room to decorate have now come in handy, she loves looking at them, one hangs next to the change table and she smiles at it while I'm changing her, so now I alternate the 3 pics around.
$hit CAddie here i was going to ask how the hell you find time to make cup cakes....get a tribal sling mate. I bought mine from a lady on ebay for $35 and its wonderful. I throw Vy in it so I can still do things around the house with my hands free and she's asleep within 5 mins. Or buy some fairy lights..I cant bleieve how well their working (touch wood)
Why oh why do we do this to our selves. For those who have had babies before.....did we forget alot or what? I have forgotten so much its not funny. I bumped into an old friend of mine and she said I was mad going back for number 3. Her DD just turned 1 and she has said NO MORE. I had to just laugh at her and told her i was far to tired to tell her to get f'curried!
Ah $hit there goes elephant again.....ah see i spoke to soon about those blasted lights!

hope you all have a great night
brrrr its so cold here in melb
luv ambz
enjoy ur night out ambz.
those photos made me laugh chrissyt! love the sunnies!
chrissy the photos are cute where did you fine glass so small?? i need to get riley some as the sun is bad in summer here. lol
Just a quickie (again! sigh). Thanks for your support will get into it more later. For those having problems with milk supply. I was too as Eithan was getting dry lips and not quite enough wet nappies so the MCHN suggested I get 'goats rue-fenugreek drops' . I started them last night and they worked pretty much straight away. My milk seems creamier now and Eithan will now sicky up white stuff not just water stuff. It tastes gross though but well worth it. It is nearly 6pm Eithan had a feed 2hrs ago and my breasts are nearly full again, whereas they are usually pretty empty.
Love
F8ck, he's awake again, so will be quick.. this 12 week growth spurt is driving me insane. Thank god he is still sleeping through the night otherwise I'd be going mad. He is feeding hourly again and only taking quick cat naps during the day... oh, and I've got him in a sling most of the day as he hates been put down. Somebody shoot me.
Maz - I totally agrees with your post about this being such a great group etc, I'd be lost without you all. I love the new ticker shot of Vy, those rolls are so cute!!!
Rikki - Monday the 20th sounds great to me, just let me know where and what time etc... my e-mail is bikergrrl79 @ hotmail.com (without the spaces).
Gotta fly, will try and be back later... I'm only just managing to get enough time to read the posts before he wakes. I hope this growth spurt doesn't last too long!
Loves ya all.
well as I said Jack crashed just before 3 and slept thru till 5.20pm when we woke him for a shower and feed as he hasn't fed since 11.30am:eek:, bu the is now happily feeding with dad, I have given hima 180ml bottle, otherwise he will cluster feed for the next few hours
anna still no teats :( and I feel bad now as I put Jack onto #2 today :(
are we allowed to post a link to a dropshot account does anyone know ???
sent an email to you anna, and to your hubbie's hotmail caddie.
The sunnies are Baby BandZ and I got them from the local baby shop here....but you can order them from their website...or Myer stock them as well.
thanks chrissy i thing our baby target stock them gonna have a look when i get time.
Anna, I'm like you, just as I finish reading posts, I need to go again!
Went looking at couches today, while mum babysat, Rans is almost talking me into ones that have cup holders :eek: cos they have inbuilt storage and the recliners go almost flat for snoozing. I think the plan is not to get totally awesome couches til way in the future, so these are couches that kids can be naughty and bouncy on and spill things on. I also don't have the stamina anymore for this sort of shopping, so I'm happy to let Rans make the call.
Oww ChrissyT, cool photos, how UN-summer was today though. Unbelievable. I reckon Riv's head is still too small for sunnies. Did you get the moolah for the BeeHinds? Just checking.
Oh wow Helen, that's awesome about your milk supply picking up, where did you get that...goatsy fenugreek stuff? Riv fed super well this morn at 4 when I was really full, but otherwise he's started with this lazy slow suck...guess if my boobs were fuller he'd have to feed well, and we could get it over and done with quicker, hopefully.
Ambz! Saw 3?? Will that not be incredibly traumatic to see? I'm way too impressionable for those sorts of movies (not as in I'll kill everyone after seeing it :p more like I'll have dreams and spook easily). Give me charlie and the chocolate factory or the princess bride anyday...
Maz, Rans is begging to put the Chrissy tree up, cos he looooves the lights! What a fun idea for Vy. Fairy lights are awesome.
Oww Caddie, Riv's been pretty clingy today too, think it's cos he's back home after being away for the weekend. On the upside, all that wailing should help him sleep well...surely it must...:pray:
Adele, so glad your headaches are gone! Is that the 3 month injection you were talking about? I'm thinking about getting an IUD...anyone had one of these? I just really want to avoid more fake hormones in my body, totally kill my sex drive!
So, second week in December for our chat? Cool, I'll keep an eye out for pressies now! Hmm...HMMM.
Where's AnnaT at? Has she moved and doesn't have the net yet?
Oh and those who have slings, do your babies lie in them? I've got my auntie's sling, and Riv hates to lie down in it and can't seem to sit too well in it, so perhaps I'll try again in a while when he can sit better upright. The baby bjorn's awesome, I just wanted a sling for the house when he's clingy and I can whip him on and off depending on what job I'm doing...Perhaps I'll just need to plan to pee before I start the housework!!!
Righto, well hope everyone's feeling well and happy. Also hope Riv's reluctance to settle doesn't have anything to do with that frozen coke I had...I don't want to be dealing with a caffeinated baby!! xo
Nelle, got the $$$ thanks!!
btw - the sunnies have an adjustable velcro band...so you can make it as small or as big as you need.
Nelle-from a chemist that has a homeopath. It's herbal lactation drops.
Belle- hi hun yes same no. found it in bella's room.
Love
nelle yes its the 3 month one where you get it every 12 weeks. a few of my friends have had the iuds and they didnt work with them as the lost there sex drive big time. but its different for everyone.
chrissy - thats even better as riley pulls of his hat already the bugga.
well im have a sore ear again so im off to the drs again tomorrow i seem to live there at the moment.
anna - sorry i missed you on msn but i got you message. well get on there at the same time one day.
well girls im off to get akira to bed and then riley and i might be able to get there tonight can only hope.
later
Adele
Hi all,
Helen nelle my naturopath has me on goatsrue as well and I am drinking fenugreek tea. it seems to be working slowly to build up my supply but I have to be sure to get plenty of rest and drink enough water too.
I have changed my ticker again this is my first photo of her smiling. She is over 6 weeks now and is changing so fast. Her head control is really good and she will hold her head up for a really long time now. She also sleeps a good 7 hours every night fingers crossed she stays such an easy baby.
I went to visit my neighbour who has been diagnosed with breast cancer today. She is doing well and recovering from her surgery before she starts chemo. I really feel for her and her kids. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could do to help them out without getting in the way. I offered to babysit whenever she needs it.
It sounds like you are all doing good. I hear you on the chocolate wine and long hot baths Maz unfortunatley I have vowed to go chocolate free for November. God knows why.
Love to you all
Merrie
Helen, thanks for sharing the info about the goats stuff. I've had a similar problem with my milk so I'm going to see if I can get those drops, it might just do the trick. How do you know if your chemist has a homeopath? Do you just ask or do certain chemists have them?
merrie, harrie is gorgeous in that pic. Babysitting is a good suggestion, taking the kids away from them and letting them have a nice dinner by themselves or something. Can you afford to take them to a spa or something like that to pamper them and take their mind off it?
Jodi -lee that is a good idea. I had been thinking of a massage for her or something. Maybe for a christmas present. They are really good neighbours.
ok girls am trying to find the words to a song
I dont know the name but it goes splish splash I was taking a bath.....etc anyone know the name
I think it might be called Splish Splash Rach :p
Google 'Splish Splash I was taking a bath lyrics'.
Hi Panna. I was reccommended this particular chemist from my MCHN. I dont know if it is a homeopath or naturopath there. But it is someone who does the natural remedies thing. I would just mention that you are after goats rue and fenugreek drops (one product) as they are a herbal thing to assist with milk supply. If they dont have them I am sure that they can point you in the right direction. Goodluck.
Well Eithan is asleep so I better go and tackle some more housework.
Love
Hi Nelle, another late one?
Love
cheers nelle
Sharleen did you get the bottles? So far i havnt recieved yours yet.No matter.
Merrie how bout some muffins or cake,that usually cheers people up and the kids would love it!
Regarding KK? How much do we spend again? I forgot...
Chrissyt,very cute!! I need to get some for millana!
Ruby finally asleep at 430pm an still asleep and its 8pm.Thankgoodness!
Hi Helen - yep! Riv was due for a feed at 11 so I'm like ummm, should I nap or will he just wake up the moment I hit deep sleep...would it just be better to stay awake...
I think I'll sleep, cos if I stay awake, we all know that he will sleep through the night :p
Ooh yeah Caddie, I've forgotton how much to spend too!
OH Merrie! I bought these Wiltshire muffin cups (I think from Target...not super cheap but I had a voucher I think...or maybe just Randall's wallet :D) and they are silicone and come in pastel blue, green and pink...you could give the muffins in those and then they could keep the muffin cups! Well...that's what I would do if I was that confident in my baking ability.
How old are the kids? Would they like blowing bubbles? Blowing bubbles always cheers me up :)
I'm sure whatever you do, your gesture will make your neighbour feel really cared for.
Okay...I will put this computer away any minute now...
Sorry just a quickie re milk supply, I take th horseradish, garlic, vitamin c, fenugreek and marshmallow for it, and I have heap :D sorry don't mean to brag but it's really good..give it a go
Now why would you do something silly like that???? LOL. Great new ticker pic!:
I have vowed to go chocolate free for November
Rach - I can't believe those teats haven't shown up yet? Where the hell are they? Nevermind if you've gone to #2's now, when the ones I posted show up, give them to someone who needs them as they are brand new.
I must go check out the fenugreek drops I think... towards the afternoon I really struggle to keep up with Xander.
Adele - Sorry I missed you, will try and catch you sometime soon. I'm nearly always on at this time of night - but the time difference might make it a bit tricky (3 hours)
Nelle - What are you still doing up woman!? It's nearly midnight on your side of the country!
Rikki - Got the e-mail! Thanks for the invite.
Belle - How you going hon?
Maz - Where are you hiding?
Jodi_Lee - Were you the 'Jodi' that added me to msn tonight?
Magic - Marshmellow hey? If only it were the marshmellows you get in the supermarket we'd all have a mega milk supply! LOL Thanks for the tip.
Hey Anna, just another quickie but I noticed you were a biker chick.....me tooo luvey. I grew up on a farm so had my first one at 5, my last one was a TL1000 which I sold in 98. But I loved my GSSXR600 the best......
magic - we are meeting up on monday 20th if you would like to join us at my place in leeming
i got fenugreek tablets on my friend who is a mw's recomendation before i had to give up. you can have them when you come over on monday anna, give them a try
ooooooooo a biker chicky! woo hooo... yep, I lurve my bikes. I've had a few now, but my last was a 2001 GSX-R750, I loved that bike. Shame I had to sell it, but I'm looking at gettign anew one again as soon as I can.
Thanks Rikki!
good morning girls,
last night was hell. riley was up most of the night and akira was just playing up but on top of that i have a sore ear and just couldnt stop coughing through the night. i asked simon to stay home this morning so i can go to the drs and he said no why should i stay home and let you sleep when i have work to do *****.
next time he is sick he better not hang off me like always cause he will get knocked out grrrrrrr im so angry with him at the moment. he never helps me out when im sick but if i dont help him i get told im not a caring person. PIG ARSE that is.
sorry but i feel a bit better after getting that all off my chest.
later girls
Adele
anna - yep that was me. I'm not a biker chick but Heath loves his bikes. He's into dirt bikes. I know nothing about bikes.
adele - hope you're feeling better soon hun
Heath informs me last night that he thinks i go out for coffee/lunch too much and i should be home being a housewife doing housewifey things :angry: I'd go crazy if I had to stay home all the time!
I've just managed to get Nina back to sleep. She's only been awake since 5.30 but Heath was playing with her heaps before going to work and she got overtired and fought going to sleep. I should be going back to bed, but I'm not tired anymore ... god damn it!
And who said they were going chocolate free in November? Like Anna said, why would you do that?! I have to have my chocolate fix everyday otherwise I can't function properly
