Babies Born September 2006 #36

Well poor Jess has been screaming the house down.. thought it was his teeth but did a pretty solid poopy this evening so maybe it was that too.

---

have ya thought about trying infants friend, its natural remedy my sisters uses it before she uses panadol with everything from teething to wind and belly aches

well Jack has been a right royal pain today :lol: couldn't leave his site or he got all sooky :( dont like him being sooky I know sometimes it has to be done, but today I was not in the mood, so basically worked round his catnaps got lots of washing done but thats it :lol:

well best get some tucker started turning last night roast and vegies into fritters *licking lips* I love fritters :lol:

---

I think she looks alot like her mummy!!

---

you reckon? I have heaps of people say she looks like Heath. I'll get a pic of the three of us tomorrow and upload it so you can see.

I'm naughty and eating fish & chips for dinner! NRL starts tonight ...
so GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!! I found a cowboys size 1 jersey for Nina on Ebay which I'm gonna get for her, how cute

nina is too cute, Jack got the same walker for xmas :)

OMG.. Nina is so cute! I cant wait until Alexander can sit up like she does!

Ah crap! Dinner! I knew something was missing! :lol:
Though we did have nachos at youth group...and I bought my carload of girls slurpees. They were such good sports tonight.

Talked too much though (I know, I know, you're all very surprised), and I've got a sore throat. Might go to bed! xo

Rach.. no i havent heard of it but might have a look out for it. Can you get it at chemists? or health stores?

Jodi.. yeh when looking at the pic of you in the Hospital yeh for sure. Oh how cute!! Would love to get one for Jesse but DH and i go for different teams.. he goes for St George and i go for Manly.. might have to get one of each! Mum nitted him a beanie of each before he was born.. so cute!

Nelle.. Sound slike a great night!

Ness.. oh this may be TMI.. but i squeezed my boobs last night and had a drop of something or rather come out of either of them! Does that mean theres possibly still milk in them?? After stopping breastfeeding like 6 months ago??

Jess woke at 3.30am again this morning.. then 5am.. then 6am.. ahhh why does he keep waking and rolling over, crying and then when i roll him back he's out again! Not like he's hungry and wants food or something as he goes straight back to sleep. And he normally sleeps either on his side or tummy (whether i roll him back or not) so its not like thats a shock to roll over.. very strange!
Ok.. have stopped taking the pill.. had another migrain this morning. Do you think thats ok to stop half way through a cycle? Might mean i get a breakthough bleed early but if its gonna stop the migrains it doesnt bother me.

Oh hey.. someone a little while ago was telling me about a good site to chart.. does anyone know it? Im going to start charting now so i know when is the good and bad times of the month to DTD.

HAPPY 6 MONTHS ALEXANDER!
HAPPY 7 MONTHS EITHAN!

kel - I stopped taking the pill halfway through my cycle. I know they say you shouldn't, but oh well! And what is it with Jesse & Nina waking at the same times and doing the same thing! Nina was 2am, 4.30 & 6am, all the times cause she had rolled over and was trying to escape lol
Dunno about the charting website, maybe ask the girls in the TTC thread?

nelle - bed at 11.30, bit early isn't it!!

Gotta get stuck into cleaning the house now, Heath's home and I've made a list of what we need to do.
bbl when it's all done

Thanks Jodi, you must be so organised and have everyones bday's written down. I need to get organised with that too.

Anyway Happy 7 months Eithan
Happy 6 Months Alexander

Sorry for not many personals, I am feeling pretty craphouse at the moment.

Maz-Huge hugs, I hope everything has settled down.

Kell-My boobs leaked everynow and again when I wasnt BF and that was 3yrs after I had Bella, and I only BF her for 5mths. My obgyn said that once you have had a baby it's quite normal to have it happen. So maybe go to you gp and let him know that you can express a few mls when you try and are really interested in getting the tablet to help bring on lactation, if your gp doesnt know then ask if there is another dr who would know. Goodluck with it all.

Nelle-Tassie is great, it is the best place to bring up children. If you are interested in finding out more feel free to email me with as many questions as you like. Yes I have lived here all my life. I grew up on the west coast and then moved to Hobart area when 11. I have been most places so I should be able to answer most of your questions. Hope little River is being good for you.

ugh sorry no more, I am feeling sick.

Love

HAPPY 6 MONTHS ALEXANDER!
HAPPY 7 MONTHS EITHAN!

Cool.. thanks Jodi.. found that fertility friend website.. will give that a go.

Thanks Helen.. thats a good idea as i didnt know what id say.. Just going to see whether Jess will latch on then might just do that. Thankyou!

I use Fertility Friend Kell. Its free :)

OMG.. Nina is so cute! I cant wait until Alexander can sit up like she does!

Ditto to everything! Ah I see Im not the only one to let their bub have tummy time in the bath..........I got so sick of wrestling with him to make him stay on his back :lol:

Im noticing a trend with the after birth pics of the Mama's - I look the crappest yet I had the easiest birth?????? ;)

Well. Last night was shyte but I wont go into why. Lets just say I had two children not one, one of whom had a temper tantrum and flung things around my house. 2 guesses who it was :wall: He is doing a parade through town today so he wont be home til later this arvo. We're supposed to be going out for birthday drinks with friends tonight (its a spouse's birthday) and he wanted me to find a babysitter - yeah right on St Patricks Day???? So guess we'll take Jett along and only go for one or two.

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!!!!!!

morning all..its my Little Mans 6 month birthday!!!

Happy 7 months Eithan

BBL .. i need to get some houseworkd done!

AnnaT - you dont look bad!! I have loaded some of my birth pics..i am a shocker! i think everyone hates the way they look after giving birth!

kel - good luck!!!

annat - we couldn't stop nina from wanting tummy time in the bath so now just let her do it. She's learnt to lift her head when rolling so she doesn't get a face full of water.
You may have had the shortest, but your body worked double time to get him out quicker, may be why you were so exhausted afterwards???
I just had a look at your pics and you look fine! I look absolutely crap in my after birth photos!
gggrrrrr at DH !!!!!!!!

well I still haven't done any housework, so better get to it

ETA: helen, you feeling ok? Yeah I do have a list of everyone's b'days!!

Rach.. no i havent heard of it but might have a look out for it. Can you get it at chemists? or health stores?

firstly you can get it at woolie and chemists 2nd fertility friend is a great site for charting stick with basic free charting if ya had no probs falling pg :)

well my boy was sought of good this morning woke at 6.20am had a bath and feed a play then a big poo :lol: then at 7.10am we both hopped into bed with jase and the 3 of us slept till 8.40am but now I feel like crap so shouldn't have gone back to bed

was nice to curl up in bed with my boys :)

but even though I was tired it has wrecked my day I am exhausted, and I was like I am sick of feeling like this and Jase reminded me **TMI** he goes Rach you have had AF of course you feel like crap, you have low iron etc, so having AF just wrecks you, well how stupid did I feel hadn't even thought of putting tiredness, moodiness exhaustion etc down to her being here this week *DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Oh Rach I have AF too! If we miraculously get pregnant this cycle we could be DD buddies !

ETA - Maz I'd be interested in buying three taggie blankets off you too!

I am exhausted from the house hunting. One place we found we're interested in, its in our price range and doesn't need any work inside. Only downside is its on a lot of 3 houses but they're good size and decent backyard.

Can I ask what is a Taggie Blanket?

Rach- Hope you start picking up, you on iron tablets or anything?

Nessa- Glad you had a good night, must've felt good to get away from the kids for a night.

AnnaT- Enjoy your st patty's night out. make sure there is no tantrims tonight (unless it from you! Lol)

Kell- I used Fertility Friend too. I actually did the part where you pay a small fee for 3 months. I can't remember what I got for the money, i think just more info.

BBL Ash is whinging, must be near bed time.

:redface: I am being bad this month and taking the last of my clomid I have in the house :pray: it works, sought of

did I tell ya all about my physic reading ..............ummmmmmmm can't remember well anyway she saw a girl born sept 2008 and another boy nov 2010 and says get some good b/c as the keep coming :cryinglaugh:

so I am much more realxed cause I just have this feeling she might be right, before I read what she had to say I felt like she would say there was another girl and boy in the future for us :dunno:

Shell yeah I am on fab 1 a day iron capsules + 5mgs folic acid and 1 innerhealth + capsule, was supposed to be have a yakult a day but I just can't do it I gag the whole 65mls

I am on iron 100mg twice daily as the dr said im so low he wondered how ive stayed awake plus the strong drugs.A few times i nodded off but in bed at 730pm.Lets hope i pick up soon!
Goodluck rach and annat! perhaps you will be belly buddies?
Maz you ok?
Helenp,sorry i missed you.
Shell hope the house is promising for you.Goodluck
Hi nessa!
How are you riki and anna?
Okay may look round the BB site now.....

I forgot to let you girls know that Sharleen's modem is stuffed so she'll be offline for a bit.

rach - hope that lady's right with your readings,. That'll be cool if you & anna are belly buddies again!

hi girls,
i've been so busy with DH home that I have not been able to keep up, but I have been reading and thinking of you all. DH is back at work now so I will try and keep up.

Caddie, your bruises were amazing... hope they are well on the way to healing now. I am good for Wednesday as long as it suits Anna** and as long as you are feeling up to driving that far. Let us know.

Ummm..... sorry I am braindead. I went to a baby shower today and made the mum to be a tshirt with the babies name stitched on (similar to annat's jett tshirts) they were a huge hit, i was so proud of myself :D went to the psychic on friday and she said that if we don't want another child immediately to be very careful!! and that we are going to have another boy as DH needs the karma of payback in the way he behaved as a child. great, i have to put up with a boy that was as naughty as DH was when he was young!!!!

think that's all our news. will try and keep up, but it's so difficult with such a large and active thread. xxx

Okay rikki,i am free wednesday.Can you msn me (email) your addres and ph no again please.)I will have to bring millana but will bring a dvd to keep entertained.

Oh yes.. thats all Jesse plays with when he has his stuffed toys.. the tags! Or any handing strings or ropes. Id love to buy one too off whoever makes them!!! Jesse would have a field day!!

Oow Rach! I would love to get a phsycic reading done!

Shell.. yeh it looks interesting. Will be interested if my temperature goes up tomorrow as i should be entering the ovulation period.

Well not much news here.. Jess is sleeping and im fixing up my old computer for my dad. Just thought id check in while the updates are downloading.

Well hope ya'll have a good night.. when are we organising our next MSN Bash??

Ciao ciao

xx

I have a friend who does taggies as well she calls them woogies I think as taggies is a registered comp in US

yeah Caddie mibne are incredibly low after 16 years I have finally found a dr who wants to know why :dunno: everyone freaks when they see my levels :lol:

well Jack is down and out for the night, we have had early mornings lately cause he wakes up cold, around 4am we are pulling up the wool quilt so whoever wakes in the mornign to do this is going to go in a put a blankie on jack hopefully means he sleeps a bit longer I am exhausted he had 8 x 120ml bottles between 6.30am and 8pm today *yawn* had the nap (a 1hr 20min) this morning and then only had 3x 30-40min naps from 10.30am - 8pm *yawn* I am so tired he is being a bit clingy, is this age ok to let them winge a bit before picking them up etc, I know the crying thing is not recomended for under 3mth olds :dunno:

HELLO.. HELLO.. HELLO.. HELLO.. HELLO.. HELLO..........

Wow its quite in here.. i can even hear an echo echo echo echoooo...

:

---

Rach- i let annika cry sometimes when i know she is just whinging. i think a mum can tell it something is wrong or they are just having a sook! half the time she will just end up going to sleep any way

---

this is when he is on floor playing it has only started the last week or so he is fine if he can see me or jase if he is home but if no-one is in room then winge winge

Oh thats all Jesse does when on the floor! As soon as he rolls over to his tummy and is up on hands and knees its just whinge whinge whinge.. i just let him go until it gets to more than a whinge..

Rikki - That t-shirt sounds cool! Sorry to say, but I think this Wednesday might be out for me... it is my Mum's birthday that day. Will let you know on Monday as that is when she is back from Sydney.

Kellxx - Your a dag mate! :lol: @ the echo!

Caddie - I really hope you pick up and feel better soon. I think low iron levels make you more prone to bruising too?

Nessa - I'm sitting here alone tonight too, but I am actually really enjoying the time out to be honest. Xander is asleep and Scott is out with a mate.. as Scott never goes out, it is kinda nice to do my own thing for a bit.

Maz - How are you going hon? No more spotting?

Rach - I really think you have to decide, as his parent, to do what you feel comfortable as far as letting them whinge/cry and stick to what YOU believe in. But from what I have read, if you did want to let bub cry a bit, it is suggested to wait till around 6 months.

Shell - So are you putting in an offer on the house? I love house hunting!!! I'd move every couple of years if DH would let me.

AnnaT - Hopefully this cycle will be a sticky one for you...

OK, will do more personals tomorrow, I think I might go snuggle up in bed (ahhhhh... the whole bed to myself. Bliss)

Big hellos to Jodi, Belle, Ambz, Chrissy, Sharleen (if your comp gets fixed), and whomever else I may have forgotten at 11pm at night!

You forgot me! And I'm so offended that I"m going to bed :cryinglaugh:

Ahhh man our mate just left and Rans is in bed singing a song that sounds like 'I miss my wife why won't she come to bed', and I'm like 'you better not wake the baby!!'
Though we were pretty loud tonight and he didn't stir. He does well with noise.

I agreed to sing at church tomorrow morning instead of my sister, no biggie, except that I have to be there at 9am...that's rather early for me!!
Ahhh Rans is singing again. Better go. Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow!! xo

good morning all !

Nelle - thats great that River sleeps through noise.. I have a cd playing in Alexanders room all the time or sometime i put the radio on do its never quiet.. With a 3 year old who does not know how to be quiet in the house we always have noise!
Maz - hows things??
Anna** - did you enjoy falling asleep in a big bed.. Did hubby wake you when he got home?

BBL - gotta put Mr A to bed..grizzle bear ... when he is tired he is "my boo booo boo"" so off for a top up and then bed!


Updated my website with more photos.. for your viewing pleasure!

Rikki.. well done with the shirt!! Wish i could sew! Oow and the phsycic.. wow very interesting... have got to find one myself.

DH got up and let me sleep in this mornng.. how nice. Though i was up at the usual 5am and 6am with a little screamer. Have just felt the other front bottom tooth in Jesse's mouth so that could be the cause of it im thinking! Hopefully when this lil bugger raises its head he'll go back to sleeping through :)

Tis a very brisk Sunday morning in ol Sydney town! DH has even broke out the uggies!!! Bring on the cold!!

ps.. Oh Annie that is a beautiful photo of olivia & Alexander where hes lying down sleeping.. aww how sweet.

MM that is naughtey nessa,perhaps he couldnt say no to his friends but they should have been friends enough not to place him in the situation.
Hubby let me sleep in this morning too.Millana is being so naughty at night and ruby a gem.
My brother is coming for roast tonight.Its nice to see someone! I have been crying due to lonliness.I dont want to see anyone as such but just miss seeing family as im use to seeing them everyday.I dont know how im going to get through the next yr.Soon winter will come and that means aaron can spend more time with us which will be nice.The only thing with mum and dad going away i rely on aaron more,even with emotional stuff so its a good thing im opening up.Usually i just bottle it away.
Enought whinge.Just have noone else to talk too.Must catch up with my friends but they are pretty busy with their own newborns and family.

Morning all,
DH let me sleep in till 8 too! Must be a day for sleeping in. Nina was great last night, in bed at 6, woke at midnight cause she was cold, then at 5.30, gave her a bottle, went back to sleep till 7. But now she's cracking it. She's tired, but fighting it. She's in her cot getting cranky every now and then. We're going to friends at lunch for a BBQ. It's raining here, so real sleeping weather. Plus it's a little cool too. (well cool for Cairns, not for you guys!)
I was just having a look at someone's homepage, but don't know who it is? That's bad isn't it! I recongnise the names, but can't work out who they belong too, but ... they're gorgeous pics!
I'll be back when I work out who's is it ...
ETA: it's annies!! You have gorgeous kids there. You know when you see someone and think, they really suit their name, well I reckon Olivia really suits being Olivia IYKWIM
oh, and Nina's asleep now! I knew she was tired, mummy knows best :)

caddie - I really don't know what I'd do without my mum being here. I see her almost everyday. I know how you feel cause mum lived away from us for 7 years, and that was really hard.
nessa - I hope DH has learnt his lesson, and that was a silly thing to do. Don't worry, we're not gonna judge him on it.

Caddie.. hope youre doing ok mate.. you always have us to chat to whenever you need to.. theres usually someone on MSN at one time or another.

Nessa.. oh dear.. i hope he does learn his lesson and doesnt do that again.. only takes one time. Grahame was caught speeding nearly 2 years ago now doing 130 in a 100 zone during the long weekend so it was double points!! Was 5am on his way to work.. well he nearly lost his licence and would have meant good bye to his job.. but luckily they put him on a probation thing with 1 point for a year. They just dont think theyll get caught.
Hope you have a nice swim.. its freezing here today.

Ok gonna go find something productive to do..

Helllllooooo in there....

HELLO!!!
Bit quite in here today

hi girls!

Been busy all weekend with DH and Julia... and went to my brothers housewarming without them was nice to see my family and also some of my friends without worrying if Julia was ok IYKWIM.

Shell the hypnosis was good, just deep relaxation meditation really but it seems to have bought out some issues with other things so my head really hurts this weekend...I cant stop worrying about things.

Maz - hope you are ok mate...keep me posted.

Anna - how you doing?

BBL for more personals girls.

Bel

Hi all,
I been out shopping all day, went with mum to DFO, bought runners couple items of clothes and some outfits for Ashleigh, mostly what was on offer was summery things so didn't come home with as many things as I would've liked.
Ashleigh was such a good girl, only complained when she was tired but after 10 mins grizzling fell asleep.

Belle- Hopefully after a few sessions of the hypnotherapy it'll start making you feel relaxed in everyday life. With the other issues it brings out hopefully you'll be able to resolve them to start making you feel alot better.

Nessa- Oh i would be peeved too. One of Df mates does it all the time after a boys night and it ****es me off that none of the group of guys tries to stop him! He says he'll take the back roads or whatever and that ****s me cause I think its not a matter of getting a fine its a matter of you may hurt or kill someone.

Jodi- How was the BBQ?

caddie- Hugs Caddie, I miss my family just living on the other side of town to them. It can get very lonely when your days are spent chasing after kids, need that adult interaction with someone close. Its good though that you and Aaron are brought closer by you opening up more to him.

Nelle- How did the singing go? No one put there hands to their ears and run out? Lol!

Anna- yeah we are thinking of putting an offer in for the place we liked, just gotta work out all the financial stuff first and we want to go and have another look at it.

Hello to everyone else, seeing as it has been quiet in here today we must be having a good weekend.

Oh mercy it IS quiet in here! My eyes hurt, I'm so tired (waking up at 7:30 was a bit of a shock for me :lol: and it was that annoying thing where the alarm was set for 8...don't you hate when you wake up just before the alarm, so can't get back to sleep??). Anyway, even though my eyes hurt, I'm on the computer.

So had church, then mum looked after Riv while we went on a triple date (with two of Rans childhood mates and their wife/girlfriend) to a shooting range! Was really fun, we lay on mattresses with rifles and shot at targets! We learnt how to load a gun and shoot! I'm not too bad either, though Rans is totally excellent! A lot of fun though.
But then with picking up Riv again and feeding/bedding him, I'm glad to have some 'me' time.

That's great you had fun with your bro's housewarming Belle!

Caddie, while it totally sucks that you miss your family, I agree that it's good that it's forced you to rely on Aaron a bit more - anything that brings husband and wife closer has to be a good thing.

Alright you other slackers, you better come back with news bout your weekends ;) Hope all is well with you and those close to you. xo

ETA: nope Shell, it was just singing like 'leading' everyone else who sings, so no-one listens to you anyway :p I could be singing anything really!
BUT, scary thing, my cousin's wedding is end of April and she wants me and Leo to sing The Prayer. Leo's like yeah no worries we'll sound great. I...am still pooping my pants. That's the kind of song that if you do it, you better do it pretty freaking good. I should get onto practicing that really...
Now to read the rest of your post...

HAPPY 6 MONTHS ASHLEIGH!

PMSL at annika, now cute!

I've had a great weekend. This is the first time since new years that I feel we're into a bit of a routine, where Nina is being predictable and sleeping really well at night! For those who can't remember, Nina started sleeping through at 6 weeks, but then when she was 5 months old everything turned to s**t and she started waking heaps at night. Well now she's back to sleeping between 11-13 hours a night. She might wake briefly, but it's either cause she's cold, or it's like 5am and she needs a top up, then goes back to bed. I'm really hoping this lasts, at least for a while, cause it's great!

nelle - good luck with the singing! Heath's a great singer, but I suck! It's great to have 'me time' isn't it.

shell - great to hear you had a good day, hope you enjoyed the shopping.

heya belle! I ditto what shell said, I do hope you start feeling better, and can work through those issues.

Jodi – Thanks .. We think our little Olivia suits her name.. thanks for your kind words!
Caddie – if you ever need to chat just email me! And we can exchange phone numbers. We have moved away from my mum.. I miss her heaps.. and all my really close girlfriends.. so we could help each other out/..How was your brother and the roast?
Nelle – well have to start calling you the wedding singer!
Shell – anymore houses to look at?
Nessa – how was swimming?
Belle – good to hear from you.. Glad that you enjoyed seeing your family at your bros housewarming!
Rikki – has hubby gone back.. you must really miss him when he is gone.
Happy 6 months Ashleigh!
Kell /Maz/Anna**/AnnaT/ Rach- hello.. hope that you all had a great weekend!
