Babies Born September 2006 #54

I cant believe it, I lose my post the first time I manage to do a long one. grrr.

Nessa I think that the thread has slowed down a bit due to past dramas and life in general. Dont worry though I am sure this thread will get it's groove back and we will all be complaining that we cant keep up again.:p

Maz-That's good news that your day has come home, sorry to hear that your mum is being a pain. I hope that Vy gets better soon. I so hear you on the teething thing. Eithan's are driving me mad at the moment as he still hasnt got any but looks like he has about 6 on the move at once.

Kell-Ugh migraine, I hope that you feel a lot better today.

Laurin-That is nice that you got the email from your friend. How long now until you come home?

Meg-I hope that James starts to settle himself soon without the booby.

Ok so I hard more in my post before but that will have to do. I have to rescue Eithan from his highchair. Be back later to update you all on Eithan.

Love

Kelly owie for migraine hope today is better and the little man has some good sleep for you

Maz, :hugs: for Vy too, glad your dad is out and boohoo to your sister knicking off back home stariaght away hope the trip out with kids is nice and easy

Caddie, yay for Milana sleeping better, now for ruby to sleep thru for you

Helen hey ya you snuck in on me :lol:

we doing good today blasted rain, I know we need it but could it not have held off just a bit more till the fence got put up and the cladders were finished, they are going to put the windows in so will be traipsing dirt and crap in thank god for timber floors but like hell they are going into the bedrooms with wet shoes etc

ok best go want to take a pic of house before casements come out

have a great day girls

Every night except one for past week Ash has woken and doing her screaming thing but then as soon as I pick her up she is happy. At first I thought she was in pain but now I reakon shes mucking about cause last night she's trying to climb out my arms and wanted to play! So thats it, no more nice mummy, I made her stay in the cot and let her carry on, I just stayed next to her then she slept for hours!

Caddie- I never know when these growth spurts are, they just seem to be all the time!

Maz- Thats great your dad is out of hospital, and :crossfingers: that that bloody tooth comes thru real soon so the screaming can stop!

Kell- Hows the head today? Is there much you can take to help when you get these attacks?

Meg- We cut Ash's middle night feeds out cause she was waking every 3 hours so first few nights she wasn't happy but the accepted it. She now has feed around 10:30ish then we push her to go til at least 4:30ish at earliest.

Hello to the rest you lovely ladies.

sorry a bit of a zombie here, i thought caity was getting better, but was up all night with her throwing up all over me, and she has diarrah(sp) too, she wont keep her milk down will not eat, but luckily she gulps her water down. worried about her getting dehitrated(sp).
off to the doctors tomorrow, for me, so might get some answers.
maz...... chrissyanne1969@hotmail.com
im ok, just got the sh** with it all!!!!!

Hi All,
Had a much better night last night. James was down at 7:30 pm and up at 6:30 am. And guess what - looks like he got a visit from the tooth fairy last night, as he now has another new tooth! Woo hoo!!! I was in bed at 9pm. I had a great night sleep. (First in ages)

Shell - good on ya. I bet Ash is just mucking around.
Kelly - hope you are feeling better.
Maz - glad your dad is out of hosp. It must be tough having to do all the running around, with a sick little bub, plus you not feeling well either!!
Caddie - It sounds like Ruby is going through a growth spurt!!
Rach - good luck with keeping the house clean

Chrissy - Have you got anyone who can give you a hand? It sounds like you will need a break.

Chrissy - kick her to me, kick her to me...to give you a break. Will email you soon.
Meg - very jealous of you!!! dame it!!!!! Vy's tooth still hasnt escaped the gum yet!!!!
Shell - oh the little ratbag!!!! I told Vy to STOP! yesterday and put my hand up in the stop sign. She stopped alright then started again so I kept doing it. After the 4th time she stopped and stayed stopped. I just hope it works most of the time...I need some friggen sleep!!!!!
Rach - I would love to see your pics of the renos your doing...cant tell im a builders wife can ya..hehehhee. I have to find mine, I lost a heap of pics of my pc and im really miffed. Good luck with thte rain stopping, send it down here please if you like
Helen - I think Eithan and Vy are the only ones without teeth...god it drives me banana's
Caddie - OMG at Ruby drinking that much ..WOW man at Aaron cleaning can he come and rub off on Jed for me.
Ness - guess what my little man is watching ATM. Thank you so much , I just heard him giggle. He's sick too so it was excellent timing. I owe you BIG TIME.
OK going to hang some washing on the line before Vy decides to wake up. OH must share. I know its not a good SIDS thing to do but we hav eput apillow in Vy's cot. When she sleeps with us, her head is on the pillow and she seems to sleep better. Its keeping her elivated a bit so its gotta help with her cold.
OK BBL

:hugs: Chrissy wish I lived closer to give ya a hand

Meg woo on a tooth a great sleep

Maz will be sharing pics when its all done, as for pillow I have been considering one for Jack he loves to snuggle with a pillow, we have abreathing monitor so I dont have the sids worry is it a full size or a little one

well the cladders sat in extention for a hour talkign then just left :dunno: what they are doing its not rain ing anymore :dunno: there is crap everywhere the yard lloks like crap so much mess, and if they keep driving on the lawn I am going to scream

oh well they reckon once they gets going they'll be gone in a week or so, the only down side is I can't go to rocky for show now as they need access to house to do windows :( dont know why they couldn't do them today I told them not to worry bout the dirt grrrrrrrr..........lazy a little bit of rain never killed no one LOL

Maz.. Glad to hear your dad is out of hospital. Oh you poor thing.. running around like a mad woman! Make sure youre looking after yourself ok. Yeh, theyre generally go over night, but sometimes i get attacked 3 or 4 times in a few days by them. Im glad i dont throw up from them as some do as thats one of my biggest phobias. I do get the loss of vision (not good when driving home!), babbling (try to say something but comes out wrong - yesterday was telling Grahame how bad my mybrains was), then the severe headache and half my body goes numb.

Helen.. thanks hun.. oh i hate it when that happens!

Rach.. took some photos of jesse in his shoes the other day! will upload them later.

Shell.. oh good stuff.. hopefully she soon realises youre not gonna pick her up so she wont wake up. Head is ok.. feels a little light and bruised but alot better. I usually just take Nurphen plus but we were out yesterday so the panadol did diddly squat. Other than that i take either panadiene fort or Anagrain.. both of which i need a new perscription.. Havent had them for months so have been a bit slack. Will def get some now.

Chrissy.. oh poor you and Caity. I hope something pics up soon. Least shes getting her water good girl.

Meg.. Yay for James's tootie peg!!!!

Jess has escaped so back later...

ness - cladders people putting cladding on our house, you know like trueline aluminium cladding except this isn't true line nor is it aluminium :lol:

Just a quicky.

Maz and I really need the toothie fairy to come give our bubs some teeth, so please send us some toothie peg fairy dust our ways, we are going bonkers.

A bit of a whinge, Leith has gone away to another conference, but this time only for one night. Boohoo I miss him. Eithan is the biggest non-sleeper at the moment. I think I managed 2 straight hrs last night, other than that he was up at least every 30mins. Ok so now he is whinging on the floor (like mother like son LOL), better go.

Where are you Nelle?

Love

Aww guys, we've got toothy pegs happening here too. River's cheeks are ultra red.

I'm here, just honestly there's not much going on around here!
I think things are about to get interesting though, River's just starting to learn how to pull himself up on things, just to his knees at the moment, but I reckon he's not too long off his feet. I might have to get Rans to help me lower the cot later today.

Helen, I can't believe you're not frozen solid south of us, it's freezing here!

Hmm, might go rescue Riv from the bookcase...or the bookcase from Riv.

I think Ash has multiple personality or something, when I put her down for her nap today, well both naps, she starts screaming, then I hear her playing and laughing, then she'll carry on again for a bit. She is still awake at moment but definately needs a sleep.

Nelle- Things will get interesting. Yesterday I found Ash can pull herself up on the kitchen chairs the hold onto the side of the table and lift her legs off the floor so she is just hanging there.

HelenP- Oh god! I feel bad for complaining at least I got more sleep than that! Hopefully tonight he will sleep well.

Maz- I might have to try out that stop thing, I'll let you know how it goes. She'll prolly think its a game.

Chrissy- How is Caitlyn? Poor little thing. And you too having to deal with all the stress.

I've been doing bit cooking today, cooked up few different meals for Ash so got enough for the week now. Just all those dishes now :(. Can't wait to when we buy a house and I have a dishwasher!

Shell - Vy laughed at first to but I used a really stern voice and it was enough.....oh I hate dishes
Nelle - So can we say yay or not for Riv pulling himself up?

Yeah I reckon, he'll pull himself up soon enough, I've just finished babyproofing at one level, I'd like a breather before I have to move everything higher yet again!

And big sooky hugs to those who have dishes to do, I've got some waiting for me too. Not stacks like usual, I'm determined not to let them pile up this time. But yeah Shell, I have to make a whole lot of baby food too...what did you make? I'm thinking about using my little star/soup pasta and maybe some tomato and...not sure what else yet. Might see what vegies I have.

Complain all you like Shell, that's what we are here for.

Nelle-Nope not frozen, but yes it is cold outside.

Fed Eithan a roast meal last night. Cut up roast spuds, juliened carrots whole, brocolli, cauliflower and roast chicken shredded. I put it all on a plate and let him have it. He loved the whole hands on thing and ate heaps. So happy, if I had fed it too him , I know he would have gagged etc, a bit messy, but good anyway.

Better go, Eithan is asleep, so might try to coax Bella into bed with me and have a nap.

:

---

coax Bella into bed

---

That sounded awful LOL but you know what I mean.

Love

Wow all the Mums are back on again...

Better make this quick before Rylee wakes up.....

Kell - you poor thing - those migraines sound terrible - I sympathise with you. Do you think they are hormonal - I don't know if this will help but I used to get them loads when I was on the pill and started taking Evening Primrose Oil which helped a bit - just an idea.

Maz - You sound flat chat running around after everyone. We will be in Johannesburg for another 6 - 12 months - too long if you ask me, I would gladly be back in Melbourne in a heartbeat.

Shellbell - I need to start getting tougher with Rylee and do what you are doing with Ash - ie, not feed her all the time when she wakes during the night. Sometimes it is the easiest thing to do just to get them back to sleep...

Chrissy - Poor Caity - hope she is on the mend.

Meg - way to go with James' sleeping - send some sleepy vibes over here please.

Rach - I am with you on the renos - we were rennovating for about 18 months - at one point we were cooking our meals on a camping stove in the bathroom - its all fun and defnitiely worth it in the end.

Helen - Buggar on Eithan's sleeping but lucky little man with his roast dinner. Rylee still doesn't have any teeth - bit of a slow starter - tho my mum said I didn't get teeth till I was 12 months so maybe she takes after me.

Caddie - Yay on your cleaning hubby!!

Nelle - There will be no stopping River now he's pulling himself up.

Nessa - looks like we are all back in action on the forum.

Sorry if I have missed anyone. Where is Anna and AnnaT?

Have a great day girls - we are off for Rylee's 9 month check up and measles vaccination.

Laurin :)

Hi Laurin, goodlcuk with Rylee's chk-up and vac. Yep no teeth here either, but Bella didnt get hers until she was 10mths so I am hoping that Eithan will get his by then.

Well I enjoyed my 10min nap although I could have done with more. Even though he has no teeth he was still able to eat the roast well, plus he chows down toast for brekky in the morning aswell. Ugh he is crying again!!!! This cold and teething, poor bubba but tired mumma.

Love

yeh annat hasnt been on a while? come back!!!!
Not much to report,hubby made me homemade jesters pies.They were egg and bacon ones!
Millana is still running away from the potty and ruby just done a huge turd for aaron to clean!
Chrissy hope caity is better soon.Syringe her water if she doesnt drink.
Cute photo of vy maz!! such lovely eyes.
ok better chat to sis on msn be bbl for personals.

Im lurking, its hard for me to have the energy to post right now, most I do is a quick read through. Im just so tired lately, cant wait for that rumoured burst of 2nd trimester energy. Ry had the arvo off so I had a 2 hour sleep, I feel a bit better now, if only I could do that every day but Jett is lucky to sleep 40min. Except for when he is babysat by others or Ry has him, then he goes down for an hour+30 like he did this arvo *sigh*

Im still tossing up daycare, Ry thinks its a good idea but I just cant bring myself to ring any. I feel so guilty even contemplating even a day of care because Im a SAHM.

Otherwise Jett is good, being a funny guy and running me ragged. Still not sleeping well of a night, I need to get off my butt and ring the sleep school too.

I feel tired just thinking about all thar. BBL.

Thanks for asking after me Laurin :)

ETA - holy crap Im 8wks tomorrow! I just looked at my ticker and thought no thats so wrong Im 7wks3dys or something but nope IM wrong lol 4 more weeks til hopefully all this tiredness and m/s ends.

Ness - James now has 3 teeth.

Helen and Maz - sending you toothie vibes.

Shell - we only got a dishwasher 8 months ago. I will never go back. I love it. DH thought that it was the perfect time to renovate our kitchen around my due date. I went into labour the day the kitchen was finished!!!

Nelle - James' favourite recipe is chicken with leeks and rice. Basically slice leek and dice chicken. Then put 3 tbs of rice in 300mls water and boil. Then add rice and chicken & boil till cooked. Then blend up.

laurin - sending you HEAPS of sleepy vibes.

AnnaT - Just because you are a SAHM, doesnt mean that you dont need the break that childcare can offer.

Well thats about it for me at the moment. We just picked up our new car today, a Suzuki Grand Vitara. Brand new. It is great. Will be perfect for our move to Gisborne (50 kms North of Melbourne for all you non Victorians) DH now gets novated lease, so we are selling the XTrail.
I am off clothes shopping tomorrow with my mum. Nothing fits me any more. I have gone from a B cup to a DD and I cannot squeeze into any of my winter clothes. No problem with pants tho. I am actually smaller that I was pre bub.

Meg- When are you moving? You looking forward to it?

Ness- Lol at your dishwasher, my Df does the dishes every now and then but you can't tell cause they still have food left on them!

AnnaT- Don't feel guilty, if one day of child care is what you need then go for it, I don't see why not, Jett will prolly enjoy the interaction. What are the waiting lists like up there?

Laurin- How'd the check up and vaccination go? I know what you mean bout easier to give the boob, some nights I'm just too tired to argue with her so I just give it but try not to too often cause I don't want to undo all the work I've done.

Helen.p- Wow Eithan is eating well, I still have to mush all Ash's food, she'll only take finger type foods if I break off tiny bits and put to her mouth, if she has it in her own hands she is just not interested.

Nelle- I made Ash a mince, potato, cauli, broccoli and corn mix. Plus I made a sweet potato, apple, rice and chicken mix, mmm that one was yummy, I wanted to eat it.

I am soooo tired, nearly fell asleep on couch earlier, Ash exhausted me today, she never had that arvo nap.
Then we turned our back for a second today and she pulled the pram onto herself and bashed her lip hard enough to make it bleed, blood was everywhere the poor thing. She didn't seem in too much pain though, I just got her to suck on a cold wet flannel and it stopped, we felt so guilty though, this is our first injury.

Poor Ash, her first owie.
We are moving from North Altona to Gisborne. We move at the end of August. I am not looking forward to packing up the house, but looking forward to more space. Also DH will be working from home once we move, so he will no longer be away 8 days at a time, as he will do his 8 days from home. Basically they get to take the ambulance home, and if they get a call thet meet their partner at the job.

I hate packing and unpacking. Be nice though to have hubby at home all the time. I grew up near Nth Altona, just in Newport, my parents still live there.

another bad night here, no sleep again, craig came home from work at 12midnight to help as caity had totally refused any form of liquid, and was screaming for hours, we were about to go to hospital at 2am, but craig didnt want to bring the other kids, he wanted to leave them here by themselves asleep.........I DONT THINK SO!!.....so he got the sh*ts, and anyway we caity finally calmed down a bit in my arms he went to sleep, and i was up again at 3am.......mind you not that i actually slept, but i finally got a bottle of milk into her, she has lost so much weight, its amazing.......i have a doctors appointment today, so she will be cominbg as well.

i used to use family daycare for my kids when they were young, i found that really good as it wasnt as full on as a day care, and there is only a small number of kids in a home environment, i just got a quote from a day care centre up the road and its $35 a day, thats with the centrelink % come out, so there is no way we can afford that, but it would be nice to have a day free once a week:)

Aww Chrissy what a bad night....I really hope the doctors appointment goes well for you and Caity is on the mend and you do finally manage to get some sleep....you must feel like you are at the end of your tether with this.

Helen.. howd you go last night with the sleep? hope you got a little more.

Nelle.. Yay for toothy pegs! We have another 2 at the top too!

Lauren.. yeh ive been getting migrains since i was in year 7. At one stage they seemed hormonal and would come the week before AF was due.. the the doc put me on estrigin (sp) tablets.. which did nothing.. then they started coming during the month but in doeses of 3 in a matter of 2-3 days.. then wheni was pregnant with Jesse none! When i started back on the pill after him, bam i got them again, so stopped about 4 months ago or so.. now this was the first ive had since then.. which is close to a record. So i have no idea whats going on. I might try some of that stuff you mensioned, couldnt hurt.

AnnaT.. wow happy 8 weeks! lol Hope it eases up for you soon

Meg.. ohh new car! how cool!

Shell.. hope you got some sleep last night..

Nessa.. put your clothes back on.

Anyways.. i need some food.. back later..

YAY its RAINING!

:(Neesa I'm a bit sad to know that you are feeling this way, although I can relate to what you are saying (I self harmed late highschool yrs), I think that you should go to a dr and talk about this with them. It's not a healthy thing to be thinking about all the time and maybe the dr can refer you on or help you deal with this thoughts and perhaps suggest ways in which you can deal with feeling out of control. Hurting is not the only way to feel alive. Huge hugs, I hope that you havent taken offence, but go and get some help please.

Shell-owie poor little Ash. I hope that you can find yourselves a house soon.

Meg-Thanks for the toothie vibes, but still no toothe here. Yah on the new car.

Kelly-Still no sleep here, I am totally not coping at the moment. The house is messy, I have piles of lean washing to put away etc but I think I just need to go out today to help me calm down. I know that it's not the be all to have a tidy house, but with no sleep it is just really getting to me. I have a bad headache which could head migraine way, so I have taken some panadol and hopefully that will help. I still dont know how you cope with migraines all the time. I go months where I can have 2-3, but not every month like yourself.

Chrissy-I hope that Caity gets better soon, it sounds absolutely awful. Hugs.

To all those I have missed, sorry, Eithan is screaming.

Love

Ness,i totally agree with helen regarding self harm.You need to speak to your dr or someone about it. You can lose your self of identity when looking after your kids but when these thoughts start to pop in its time to reevaluate.Are you on meds currently for PND? i cant remember sorry?
Chrissy you poor thing.You should have left craig at home with the kids and taken caity but usually when they take a bottle they on the way to recovery.Just dont make it full strength formula,only half as less chance of vomiting it up.We have gastro alot millana and i.Millana had it bad 3 times last yr.But we know what to do now.Little different with babies.If you also gently pick up her skin if it doesnt bounce back she is dehydtrated.
MM,well same ol last night.Just getting up to the kids,resettling,wishing i was getting sleep as im sitting up in the dark but my sleep time will come.Im trying to remain rpositive!
Gym for millana,still deciding weather to go.Im feeling slack.
Annat if you going to put jett in daycare do it now!!! Millana refused to go and its harder with 2 bubs so let him get use to it now before the baby comes along and you have 2 much to deal with. If he hates it dont take him anymore.
Shell,poor ash! they do bleed alot dont they!! At least it wasnt your fault.I clipped millanas fingers with clippers as a bub and that was awful.I took her to the ED as i thought the top of her finger would fall off! silly me.
River congrats on your toothy pegs!
happy 9 months ryley! sorry i missed it.
Meg thats lovely your hubby can spend time at home.Is it more of a country town with being able to take the ambulance home? He must cope some flack with the weirdos out their.I always think ambo's save the lives initially and the drs then patch up the work!! Hope theirs no dr's floating around!!!

Morning all,
we had a better night, woke at midnight then didn't wake again til 6:20. Yay.

Chrissy- How is Caitlyn doing this morning? She managed to keep more fluids down? Let us know how things go at the Drs for you and her.

Ness- as others have said its definately best to talk about all that before you do do anything. I know a couple of self-harmers and its not nice. also maybe give yourself some ideas of what you could do if the feeling strongly arises such as calling someone you trust just to prevent yourself doing anything.

Caddie- One day that dream of sleep will come, you will be the one trying to drag them out of bed! I've done that too cutting Ash's finger with the clippers, luckily just a little.

Helen.p- I so know what you mean, I find when I am sleep deprived the state of the house really gets me down yet there is no energy to clean and tidy, best thing to do is go out so you don't have to look at it, get some fresh air.

Kell- I was the opposite, I rarely get migraines yet when I was pregnant, in the 2nd trimester I was getting them all the time.

Well I'm off to lunch with a friend today. Be nice to get out and about.

Helen.. you have to do whats best for you and like you said the house work is not the be all end all.. it can wait. Go out for a stroll if it will make you feel better.. the fresh air im sure will do you good.. or even just curl up on the couch with a blanket, a cuppa and watch Dr Phil! Youre only going to do more damage to yourself if you do the house work so have a day off! Get your self back to gether and then do it.. it will be there tomorrow.

Ness.. :hugs: hun.. hope today helps hun, but i think whats in order is a trip to sydney! :)

Thanks Guys

Caddie I am with you I am looking forward to 5 yrs from now when I can sleep through, no wet beds etc. The countdown begins LOl

Love

Hi all,
I just managed to resettle James basically for the first tome ever. He woke after 20 mins so I went in (He was looking wide awake) Went shh a few times, patted him a bit and left. I thought I would go back in 10 and get him up, and guess what - he was asleep! Woo Hoo. The tooth fairy visited again last night. Now he has 4 teeth.

Shell- I know Newport well. My mum grew up there, and my Grandparents live in Spotswood. I grew up in the East tho, and deflected to the West when I met DH who was from Hoppers.

Chrissy - I am sorry that you had another bad night. Hope the DR goes weoll today. You did the right thing. I wouldn't have left the kids at home. too much could go wrong.

Helen - It sounds like you need a personal health day. Shopping always helps me, although you gotta have money, something that I have a lack of. Kell has hit the nail right on the head in regard to housework etc. It is great in theory, we just have to learn to put it into practice.

Caddie - yes it is a country town, although to population is growing! A lovely family environment without the influence of McDonalds etc. You know a town is still fairly small if they don't have a McDonalds!!

OK so I am off to the shops with mum. Be back tonight to let you all know about my new wardrobe (Hopefully!!!)

oh im not gong to burst ANY BUBBLES!!!! ROFL - Nikolaus stil gets up through the night sometimes, even if its only a toilet break, you still wake up and listen. Wilhelm wets his bed about once a fortnight..Sorry girls and then there's the..Im still awake, I cant sleep.
*ducking objects being thrown from Caddie and Helen*

Ive decided to put Jett in occasional care with our local Neighbourhood house from 9-1 on Tuesdays, only costs me $13, theyre accredited, he'll be with other military kids and I think he will love it. Just enough time for me to have a sleep, clean, just have a morning to myself and he wont feel like Im leaving him there all day every day. I know what you mean Caddie, I want to get him going now before the baby comes because it will be a huge weight off my shoulders if he's happily playing for a few hours and I can spend time with bub, go shopping, make appointments for that morning etc I just know he will love it, he loves other kids.

I was still unsure until last night when I went to another military wife's house for a Mary Kay party. I wasnt going to go but I felt awful that she came round esp to invite me, she's a really nice girl (her hubby works with mine) and I said I'd go. I had a BALL! We gossiped and they told me that I have to come to their coffee morning in base every wednesday, if I dont theyll come fine me because I need friends and theyre great friends :cryinglaugh: They were really positive about the daycare (they use it) as theyve all got kids (one of them goes to the playgroup Ive been thinking of going to so she's convinced me to do that too) and theyre outgoing and fun like me. I havent felt so, normal I guess, since before we moved to Perth. Ive been invited to another party (Crystal and Linen) tonight so I told Ry he'll have to put J to bed because Im not going to be rude and I like going out. Im even going to host my own Mary Kay party when MIL comes over. Things might just be looking up for me now!

Im feeling better m/s wise, still have to odd spew but I dont wake up dreading eating food. Ive even put a silverside in the slow cooker. J is asleep and has been since 10:30. Im showered and my hair is blow dried (I know I cant believe I managed to do all that in a morning!)

Sorry this is a me post but Im feeling good today :)

Great news Annat - can I ship Vy up there too. Thats such a great price for DC.
Have loaded VY's 9 month pic and one of my fat belly for you all to gork at

:doh:I lost my post :doh:I hit something and then it was gone and well I am too lazy to rewrite :lol:

well OMG what a horror of a night here, we went to darts which is ok, Jack was really well behaved had a doze and everything, we got home bit before 11pm he had another bottle, and a bit of a play si i thought we would all go to bed together he was acting all sleepy so put him inhis cot, he had a whinge but I thought I'll give him 5min well after 3min I had to go get him it then took over 1/2 hr to calm him he was a the poi t where he was so hysterical he was struggling to breath, (in the 3 min I left him he went from whinging to screaming that when I got up) I have no idea what was wrong, gave him some infants friend inc ase it was wind, his belly was nice and soft, but he just sobbed gasped for air the whole hysterical crying :cry:it was horrible and there was nothing I could do but try and hold him till he calmed down poor baby never ever going to do the cry it out technique never never again

??? can it take 12 hours for a specific food to affect him and give a belly ache, he had a little mashed carrot, broc, peas, bean, corn mix at the lunch midday the amount of the last 3 was minimal in the mix

you look great maz :) and OMG vyolett is so darn cute

Rach - this is the stage we're they start testing us. They try to push how far they can get cause they've worked out if they say boo, we're there in a flash.
You poor buggers all of you. Vy's just had a 3 hours sleep and woken in a fantastic mood (for once) I cant believe she slept that long
Helen - toothy dust coming your way...ours is almost through now PRAISE THE LORD!

AnnaT.. thats great and for $13! Least youll be able to have a day to rest! Im sure towards the end youll be begging for it.

Shell.. hope you had a nice lunch.

Maz.. nice belly!!
A question for those preggy mums and those who have had more than one.. did you find when you were going for number 2 (baby not poo) that you were more bloated early than first time round?

Rach.. could he have been over tired and just got himself all worked up for no reason?

Jesse's been asleep since about 10.20am.. its now nearly 1pm wooo! what a sleeper!
