Babies Born September 2006 #37

Well, I'll say this; if there are NO 7/11's there, Tasmania will have to step up on it's self-salesmanship! :lol:
Nah, it's been on my heart/mind, but the main thing would be if a good job presented itself for Rans over there. We're not proactive about it, but open to it. Does that make sense?
I'll just pray about it, and if God's got something for us in Tasmania then I'm sure he'll let us know. (I might also pray that they have slurpees of some kind over there!)

ETA: Rach, if it was me, I'd talk to him about it. Say something like, 'I put up with you when you're irrational because I love you. Now I'm going to be irrational about this, I think I'm being rational but you think I'm not, but I'm asking you to humour me when I say I don't want your parents to feed him just yet. It's a really special time for me when I feed Jack and I'm not ready to give up being his special bottle lady just yet. Can I have a little more time please, thanks I love you' (and then run away before he can say anything).
That might not be your style...:p But definitely talk to him and let him know that it's important to you, even if it seems silly to him.

Nelle you bought :cry: and :lol: to me with that post

god I am so friggin hormonal :wall: did I tell ya all I decided to take my left over clomid this cycle

I think I am going to have to bite the bullet bring it up and put up with him getting sulky, tonight before he left for work I point blank said are you having as affair :cryinglaugh: he was like when would I have time for that

also cause I am a selfish witch the reason i dont want anyone feeding Jack is right from word go everyone has critised how I feed him, becuase of c-sect and a weak muscle in one arm I laid him on a pillow on my lap and feed him like that, well without fail FIL comments on him laying flat or you holg the bottle high, or dont you burp him half way thru etc :wall:

ok going to try and get my boy to go to bed he is on floor playing and I am tired

Maybe just ask these unhelpful people if it really matters in the long run whether you burp Jack inbetween feeds.
Haha, when he opens his HSC score letter, 'We're sorry to tell you that you would have gotten a score of 98.6, and could have done law or medicine, but your mum fed you laying flat and didn't burp you halfway through, so you get 47.2. Someone should have told your mum it would matter down the track'.
Just ignore unhelpful people. They aren't helpful :p

Nelle-Sorry hun no 7/11's here. But I do know where you can buy a slurpee. I will hopefully have the stuff to you in the next 3-4 weeks. I'll let you know when I send it. I will also put a real estate guide in there. But it will only be for southern Tassie, not north. But I am biassed would much prefer to be down south.

Hope that everything gets sorted out Rach. Wowee clomid, I think I had some left but I think I threw it out. You must be feeling pretty emotional at the moment. I can remember how taking it made me feel, so I can totally relate, as can a few other ladies in here. Hope you get a BFP this month.

Love

thanks girls sorry to whine but..........anyway I feel a bit less stressed this morning just going to go with the flow and say nuh you can't feed him, and when FIL most likely starts on me, I am going to say he is my (our) son he is not a toy, feeding is my time etc :)

Rach

I know what you mean, I dont know what it is why everyone wants to feed babies, I dont like letting people feed her either. They feed so much better and less distracted when you do it yourself. Good to hear you are less stressed this morning mate. Fingers crossed Clomid does its work for you this cycle. I have two packets in my drawer.. mmmmmmm we arent ready yet I dont think..we are not actively TTC.

AnnaT - great news re DH agreeing on baby!!!

BBL for more personals girls Julia wants her solids!! our high chair arrived today must go and pick it up too!

annat - that's great news about the baptism. ggggrrrr at your mum, but great that IL's can make it! When will it be?

---

Saturday July 7th. He'll be 9.5mths old by then, how bad is that :lol: We'll most likely be in Sydney a day or two before that as the inlaws want a look around. May as well make it a mini-holiday.

BBL bub is grumpy.

not bad at all Anna I'm thinkin gcombining jacks firstbday with his christening, that way only one party :lol: and the church out here does christenings on sat arvie at 4pm :dance:

That's not bad Annat! We're not doing anything for Riv! :p He's your kid, do what you want when you want!

Belle, as usual, Julia is gorgeous in her ticker pic! I'm liking everyone's ticker pics actually...might be time for an update for River's soon...we actually haven't taken any photos recently...norty us...wonder where the camera is.

thank you girls all so much for all your thoughts and truely, I am alright. I am actually a little glad that it happened, especially with twins. Another learning curb for me. And please, dont stress about me any more, im good!
Has any one heard of ELite Kids modelling? I must have sent in a pic of my kids or something cause they want me to go to an interview in Melbourne next month. Sitting fee is $25 per kid and then $580 portfolio and $385 per year to 'sell' your kid. Dont think i'll be doing that one.
Rach - I hate other's feeding VY and your Jacks mum so they should just shut up. God people can be so rude! Kick them in the bum!
Nelle - brain wave, if you move to tassy - open your own 7-11 joint, the nyou can have slurpies all day.
Belle - yay on the new high chair
Hello everyone else - MAUW's to you all
Have any off you seen the new contreceptive ring on t.v? At least the guys can get a 'hoop' in if we got one. PMSL Dont think I could handle lthat though..I cant do tampoons let alone something like that.
BBL need to pee

hey Maz :hugs:

yeah I saw that ring thing um no way, not that I need to worry but nuh couldn't do it :lol:

Maz i keep getting visions of it coming out during dtd on him. **** ring pmsl.

Anyone thought about the cervical cancer vaccine?

Love

Hi all,

Maz- How you doing? Hope you are getting some time to yourself. I haven't heard of this contraceptive ring thing, how is it supposed to work? So are you going to go to the interview to check it out? Those kids modelling places must make a fortune with charging all that for portfolio's and "selling" your kids.

AnnaT- We still haven't organised Ashleigh's christening, I keep saying how I need to do it but never get around to it.

Well we just got back from MCHN, Ashleigh now weighs 7.015kg and is 65cm long. She's doing fine. The nurse told me usually once babies are on solids for 8 weeks they start sleeping longer at night, so lets hope, I am counting the weeks!

ETA: Helen- I have thought about it. My mum had cervical cancer at 37 and had to have a hysterectomy. I wanted to know how much it costs, I think its free up to 26?

Helen - im crying ahh fooy I now have the same vision, that is just too funny.
Rach - thanks again for the hugs hon but im the same OHHHHH
Shell - im coping (sort of) in my usual weird way...just me. The new contro thing is a silicone ring that you put up your woo hoo and it releases a chemical much the same as the pill. You have to change it every 3 weeks and it looks HUGE!!!!!!! And re the modelling thingo, I wont be going, it will cost me $75 just for them to see the kids. PASS!
there is a photo comp on the nuropean site if anyone is interested. You have to send in a pic (or email) of your child either smiling, sleeping or having fun...wonder if I can send in the pic of VY making her poo angel on the carpet?? PMSL

Maz,forgot to say that the taggy arrived and ruby likes it! I have to fight millana for it though as anything that arrives in the mail is her "party present". Another spin would to put different types of tags and such? ie) fat silk ribbon,felt? that fake fur stuff,some with rough texture like rope? Just a thought for your money spinner.
Helen.had to have a chuckle re your doodle comment!!! Way to funny.
Re the feeding,i do it all myself unless im out.Ruby tends to muck around when others do it.And i dont want it end up being a game at feed times.(LOL)

maz, i have been looking into the modelling thing for nicole it will cost me $500 to put her in, i send pics of her ( after advice from the girls here) and they all rang that day and wanted her in........i am going to qld in july so i might think about it after that, my eldest daughter did modelling when she was 4, and she did lots of work for bigw....not sure if you saw the pics of nicole but they are on my homepage. glad your felling ok.

helen..........wow love that **** ring PMSL

BBL kids just got home, and i have to do there assignmaents with them aarrrrrrrrrrrgghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, just popping in as I wanted to give Maz a (((HUGE HUGS))), sorry to hear about your loss matey :( I hope yuo are making some time for yourself, or are getting losta squishy cuddles from your boys and Vy.

PMSL @ **** ring...too funny....trust you girls!!

my sister asked me this question today and well :dunno: I am sought of up in the air you still have to have paps and such I dont know maybe if I ahve a girl but then I dont need to worry till she is in her teens so a lot more info will be available by then

:

---

Rach- good on your for sticking to your guns, i have a friend who has two kids a never sees them, they are always being baby sat, when she invites us over on weekends for poker nights she expects us to get our kids babysat as well, WTF i had these kids they are nmine and i dont like to palm them of all the time (actaully i hate having some one else what them!!) so i am saying long story short you are his mum and enjoy your time with him!! your IL had there own babies.

---

thats sought of how I feel, I had him and I am not palming him off for anything, the first time I will be away overnight is when I am having our next baby, they also go on about holidays and stuff well **** no way this kid is mine and until he is old enough 8 + and says he wants to stay at nan and pops it aren't happening

:

your IL had there own babies

---

ummm thats one of my arguments I am probably stressing over nothing but I am prepared :lol:

:hello: hi

check out my ticker :clap: my clever little man :)

:hello: kelly

Okies I am officially confused.

Paige was born on the 19th Sept, and her ticker says she is 6 months and 3 days old...as she turned 6 months on Monday, 19th.

Rach75 - your ticker is saying Jack is 6 months and 1 week old, but he was born 6 days after Paige...am I going dummer with age??

Just quickly about the vaccine for cervical cancer. I havent read the thread yet, but thought I would give you some info I found out from SIL tonight. You cant have the vaccine while BF or if you are TTC. So I dont think I will be able to have mine for free as I will be 27 5days after Eithan's first Bday and might still be bf. Personally I dont think I will be getting it. I have had 1 partner, my husband, and will continue to have pap smears anyway. I dont know I might change my mind. I was actually invited to join the testing for the drug, but was TTC and dont think I would do it anyway.

Glad to hear that I made you laugh Maz and that you are on the road to recovery.

Love you all.

Love

ok ticker fixed :lol: I didn't check the date it had and for some reason it had the 15th :doh:

helen ya still got to have smears even with vacine

Nessa thanks he finally did it my friend is the one who sat him up then tonight he did it again for a bit which was great

hello gorgeous ladies!!!

im back for good now!! yayyy

we are all settled in thank goodness!!

So now i have no excuse to not come on as much. I am going to make an effort to come on atleast once a day :)

My little miss is getting so smart and cheeky. She has learnt by herself to stand. She pulls herself up every chance she gets and stands there smiling and laughing at her new accomplishment. Yes we all think she will walk before she even crawls hehe What a little show off lol All i hear 24/7 everyday is DADDA DADDDAA DADDA
no matter what she is doing she just says dadda on and on.

Well like father like daughter (refering to my avatar) :wall:

So what have i missed out on?? Too much i bet :(

Maz mwhaaaaaaazz a big kiss and hug to you darlin xoxox

Hopin you are all well!

xoxoxo

luv ambz

Hi girls.... eyes are hanging out of my head right now as Xander is not well. He has a fever and wont sleep unless I hold him upright. I'm a bit suss that he may have an ear infection, but I'm not too sure (be nice if he could tell me what hurts) - he keeps writhing in pain even in his sleep. Poor little guy.

Just updating, sorry no personals.

mm sounds like an ear infection.Does he go swimming? That can cause infections.Any waxy discharge from ears? Tugging at them? A dr maybe needed.Dont forget panadol if he needs it! Poor you anna have had a bad trot with the sickies lately.All the perth girls have!!! Something in the water...

NIce to see you back on here Ambz. Wow at Savanna standing herself up.

Anna-I hope that Xander gets better soon. I would take him to the dr just to get it checked out to make sure that it's not an ear infection. Goodluck.

Caddie-I hope that you are doing a lot better now and that the girls are being good for you.

Well I feel like I have been hit by a truck. Everything hurts. I feel slightly drunk from the pressure in my head. I think that maybe I have a sinus infection as I cant touch my face at all and I woke all last night with an achey face an jaw. I felt like I had been in a punch up. I feel nauseus, and have the trots. I am claustrophobic so am having troubles sleeping due to the really blocked nose. I lay down and then start to get panicky that I wont be able to breathe. I actually woke up yesterday morning unable to breathe, until I sat myself up.
Eithan is getting better now, he has decided not to poo in his sposies anymore, just on the floor or in his cloth nappy. PMSL at Vy and the poo angel.

Better go.

Love

Anna**- Its awful isn't it. I remember when Ash had her urine infection wishing I knew what the prob was. Go to the Dr's get it checked straight away and just give regular panadol. If its just a viral infection they can't do much cept give panadol but if it is his ears they can pop him onto AB's.

Ambz- Hi, good to see you're back, Lol at the ticker, we have photo's of Ashleigh with a VB. And clever girl standing! At least with moving you could set up the whole house baby-proof.

Helen.p- I didn't know you had to wait til after BFing, do you know how long after getting it you can ttc? I might have to look into it a bit more.

maz- Lol, send in the poo angel pic, they said having fun, sounds like Vy was definately having a good time!

Our night sleeps are slowly improving, we had a good night last night but seems to be whenever we have a good night we have trouble with sleeping in the day or vice versa! So just can't win.

I am sick of this hot weather, where is autumn? Makes me want to do nothing, but sit on the net! Ooh I bought few outfits from the pumpkin patch website, they have an outlet store on there site so everything is alot cheaper.

Well! Must be the day for sickness and infections! I think I've got an ear infection - here I am keeping an eye out for teething related infections in River, and I've got pretty much every flu symptom there is (except death, thank goodness) and a super sore jaw which I'm assuming is from my wisdom teeth! I'm telling you, I think I'd rather stay un-wise, these wisdom teeth are not worth it!

So Helen, I had the same sleeping problems last night cos of blocked nose. And then halfway through last night my vicks inhaler (which I love) fell under the bed and I couldn't reach it. Poo.
But that must have been so scary to wake up not being able to breathe! Full on. I had that once with a mucus bubble in my windpipe. Valued my life a lot after that.

Owww River just grabbed a handful of inner elbow flesh!! It's because he's trying to catch me and eat me. Even though he just had some milk. Ungrateful, that's what it is.
Anyway, I'd best be off to change a nappy and feel sorry for myself some more! :p

huge hugs to all you girls who are sick or have sick babies.... i know how you're feeling. was really hard last week when we were both sick and dh was away. wondered where you were anna**, let me know if there's anything i can do....

lol @ poo angels and bubs who won't poo in sposies! ains is a pooing machine lately... and they have stopped being solids poos and back to runny poos (sorry if TMI) even though she's eating lots of solids. 2nd timers, is that normal??

ambz - good to see you back and all settled after your move.

best go and stitch... i have a 2nd bday this afternoon and i am making a tshirt, but of course i only started this morning! 2 letters down, 5 to go! also have immunisations for ains today :( speak to you all soon!

Shell-Not too sure about how long before you can TTC. I hope Ash starts settlling both day and night for u soon.

Nelle-What is this vicks inhaler thing? Is it like the sniffer one that looks the shape of lip balm? Hope u get better soon. My jaw aches aswell and I have already had my wisdom teeth removed, so u might be lucky it might not be them.

Rikki-I dont know how u do it without Sam home. I hope that Ainsleigh is well and truly over it. Have fun at the bday party. Ummm sorry not too sure about the poo. I have heard that panadol can cause it, aswell as teething, goodluck.

With BF and being sick, how much does it affect bubby if you cant eat much?

love

Hi girls,

Well it’s a sad day for me today. I’ve officially stopped breastfeeding. I thought I was ok about it all, but I’m not. It’s come too soon for me.
Nina has just been refusing the breast completely lately. And although I would have loved to express full-time, it was draining me so much to the point of it affecting my relationship with Heath. I was hoping to continue b/f, even part-time until 12 months, but it was just too hard to do, and Nina being ‘little miss independent’ wanted her sippy cup.
The sadest part is that I had no problems whatsoever with b/f. I never got mastitis, I never leaked, yet I had such a good supply. Even through the weaning process, it’s like my body new what was happening and I never had an oversupply, it just dried up.
I’m very happy that nina has taken so well to the formula. She’s such a happy baby lately, which makes it a bit easier to deal with.
Thanks to those who offered their support through this with me. It’s been really hard for me to do.
To those still b/f, keep it up as long as you can! Cause when it’s gone, it’s gone!

Sorry for no personals, just too sad today.

I’ll be back over the weekend for personals.

Oww big hugs Jodi :hug: Still, you've done a great job, and the fact that Nina's weaned herself means you haven't deprived her of anything - she's just moved on!
Maybe find something else that's a really special time for you two to sooort of fill that gap - like special mum and bub storytime or something? Nina really is little Miss Independant isn't she! :D
Still, hugs. I know I'll miss breastfeeding a bit when it's our time.

Yep Helen, it's the one that looks like lip gloss. I call it 'Smeller'. Yes, it has a name. Rans has woken up many a night with me shoving him saying 'you're lying on Smeller'. We're regular grade 3-ers over here.

And with bf and not eating, I asked my parents that, and dad reckons that it's worse for us, cos our body will give its best to the baby. Like in pregnancy. So, while it's bad for us, that eased my mind about River. A vitamin tablet might help though.

Rikki, River gets back to runny poos with teething. And also if Ains has been sick, was she mucousy? Cos they swallow a lot of mucous when they have a cold - that always made Riv's poo pretty runny too.

Right, well mum's gonna drop round for an hour or so soon, so I might go put some pants on! (I'm wandering round in a singlet top and undies :p)

OMG I am too dazed to do personals but Jack got up at 7.30am nice time I think we had a bath, feed play then got wingy wingy so I cuddled him for a bit, he started to doze off so i thought I would tak ehim into bed with me and see if he went to sleep well we both did I only just woke up 2hrs later and he is still going :lol:

JOdi honey - you can BF VY if you want. She's always looking adn trying but mummies got nothing. Yourve done a fabo job honey to bf this whole time. I take my hat of to you and all you mums who have been doing it this long...I hope i can again next time round. MAUW babe.
Caddie - oh I like how you think g/f I Might have to go to spotlight one sunday and have a sticky at some other fibres to use. Have you got your results from your cat scan back yet?
Rikki - OH runny pooh...I can so relate errrrrrrr have fun at the birthdya today
Anna- I hope Xander is alright and that your coping.
OMG Rach - look at Jack, he's so clever. WOW
Nelle - you coming to sam's next weekend?
Belle - honey thanks for everything this last week. Hows Julia Goolia
Nessa, Kell, Shell, The artist formally known as little P, Ambz (yay your back) Chrissy (were you hiding) Sharleen (hmm were are you lady) Annat (still havent gotte nyour emails, check that its not going to bigpong instead of bigpond) and i am so going to forget someone, I always do IM sorry my brain is still very soggy.
I want to thank you all for your wonderful support over the last week. Im a bit of a hard nut at times and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here for me when i needed to talk. OK enough soppy $hit
BBL must hang up nappies

popping to to say hello.. ive got a very clingy little man. who has just filled his pants AGAIN!!! bbl

im hiding at the gym most days, just did my first schwimcycle class, and i havent sweated and puffed so much in my f**king life...........45 minutes on a stationary bike..it was very good but extremely hard!

Jett and I almost died today :cry: On our way back from a catch up with friends we came the back way home and almost got broadsides by a MAC TRUCK! I was coming up the road doing the speed limit and could see the truck coming out of the yard on my left. I had right of way being on the main road and he was going slow enough that he wouldnt have been able to get in front of me without me having to slam on my brakes. Well apparently he thought different. I saw him come past the side of my car (JETTS SIDE :( ) and he didnt stop! I could literally see the grill on his truck out the side window. I nearly died ladies (literally and figuritively). I cant mention the names I called the stupid idiot on the drive home.
Im so tempted to call the truck company and give them what for.

I need to go lie down and cuddle Jett for awhile.

OMG AnnaT i would have shat! Get a scotch honey and SKULL!!!!!
Chrissy - so need to pull my fingy out of my nose and do something like that. Im starting to ride my treddly whilst watching the biggest looser
