Emailed you Chrissy - I'm quicker than lightning, I am. :p (slowish lightning)
SOLD All yours Nelle!! Got your email...will reply with bank details in the morning...hubby and I drove to fountain gate one morning to get Krispy Kreme donuts...a once in a lifetime adventure...its over an hour away from here.
I will post them thats no problem.
hi girls... i am going to do a chrissyt again and say i have read all your posts but there is no way i can keep up! ainsleigh is two months old today... very exciting. don't know where the time had gone. just have to say huge hugs to maz.... glad to hear you are seeking help and i'll be back next week. DH is home from the mine and we are heading down south for four days. (i'm in perth too sheree... leeming, where are you?)
Wicked. Going to be quick girls, because I've been really undisciplined and taken 'me time' at nights on the net and often haven't slept til well after 12 or sometimes even 1, which means the day starts way too late for me the next day.
Hey...speaking of avatars...when I get my baby bonus, perhaps I can pay up and go platinum finally!
How long does it take to get the baby bonus? (Please tell me it's not too long!)
Oww Caddie, hope you aren't coming down with a cold! Rest up!
Sharlene...Now I have that Dolly Parton song 'Jolene' in my head, but with your name in it! :p
Sharlene, Shalene, Sharlene, Sharleeeeeen. I'm begging of you please don't take my man!
Seriously though, it's a lovely name, glad you feel comfortable to use it now.
LOL Adele, and when Akira is older, she will get grumpy if you ARE early. My sister and I would always be like, 'mum drive slower, we'll be early! Can you drive around the block?' We liked to make a big entrance to places (still do!)
LittleP - Justin Timberlake's the bomb - he can sing AND dance! As soon as he's old enough to 'get' music a bit more, I'm going to introduce him to Jamiroquai...and change his funky little life! I really hope he won't be ashamed to sing when he gets older, it's in the genes :p
Hurrah for your clothes shopping!
Jodi & Caddie, I get you on the plonking-in-nearest-child-holding-device method of child care! I read your posts to Rans, it's what I do when I agree with something but don't want to attack him directly, so I say 'oh the girls hate it when their husbands do this, listen to this...' ;) And voila, he was a bit more 'hands on' today.
Probably also helped that I taught him the difference between the whingy 'hmm I'm bored don't want to sleep so I'm grizzling' cry and the full on 'I need something and I'm most upset about it' cry. Because we agree that it's good to leave Riv to cry sometimes, but he didn't know when. So now he knows that a hysterical cry needs attention.
Anna - hurrah for Xander! It's fun watching them in tummy time hey, cute photo!
Maz - I think counselling's an excellent idea, just to think out loud to someone objective who doesn't have a stake in what's happening in your life. That's brilliant, definitely go for it. I guess be careful of cutting Jed out though, I realised today that because I've been venting and chatting with mum, I haven't been talking with Rans about how I'm going and haven't been asking him how he is, so I have to remember to stay connected to him too!
Shell - a thought for feeding Ashleigh while you're away - does she like to suck on your little finger or something? Because you could put expressed milk in a syringe and pop that in the corner of her mouth while she's sucking on a finger. They did that with my colostrum when I was in hospital! Could be worth a try...
River's had a few really runny big poos today and yesterday, so I'm hoping that's mucous leaving his body! I'm a bit calmer about things now, I had a chat to God about it which helped, and also, really *sigh* worrying is useless because I can't watch him all the time, and chances are I wouldn't even hear him, he didn't make a peep when he choked.
He seems so much more precious to me now, nighttime feeds take forever cos I just sit and snuggle him. :)
And also I'm using the saline drops, which apparently thin the mucous, so hopefully he'll be less likely to choke because the mucous is thinner..
Still praying like crazy that he'll stay happy and healthy though!
Oh mercy me, I was supposed to be 'lights off' by now...whoopsy.
Might go shopping with mum tomorrow, Rans' work gave him a $100 voucher to celebrate River - how cool is that!
Take care girls, and big hello to those I didn't mention by name! xo
HI Girls
Rylee has been so unsettled - all day yesterday and so far today - I don't know what is wrong with her. Strangely it seems to be since I gave her the eBM but I can't think how that would unsettle her as she had another lot today and gulped it down. Don't know, these babies keep you guessing that is for sure.
ShellBell3 sorry that your bub isn't taking the bottle - I am sure you have tried all the tricks of the trade by now - I just know when I tried Rylee on some formula there is no way she would take it but as soon as she put some of the expressed milk on her lips she took the bottle straight away.
Better go, if she isn't on the boob or asleep she is crying - all fun & games...and to top it off lots of arguing with DH.
Have fun girls!!!
Laurin
Hi ladies, sorry another quick one from me, just too much going on at the moment.
Belle-Hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Julia's weight gain.
Nelle-Hugs, that must have been so scary.
Maz-Hugs hope things get better. Just want u to know that the little pm's from you when I was down helped me heaps and if I could I would love to give you heaps of hugs and support and make you better, so feel free to vent away I am always checking on here whether I can manage to post or not.
Anna-Yah for Xander.
Umm better go Eithans calling.
Love
Helen! Great to see you popping in even just to say a quick "Hi". Hope all is well.
Laurin - When I first introduced Xander to the EBM/bottle... he too gulped it down, and got a lot of wind pain which made him super unsettled. I read here somewhere (in another thread) that a bottle feed is much easier for bubs and someone suggested to try a slower flowing teat, even a newborn one until they get the hang of it?
Nelle - What a great idea about the syringe/finger feed thing. Hope it might work for Shell! Great score on the Baby Beehinds... I'm not allowed any more nappies, so norty me bought two more BumG's on sale (old style) just to prove that I can. :P
LittleP - How was the shopping?
Belle - Hope you are feeling a bit more on top of things today hon.
Jodi-Lee - Nina is lazy with the head control too huh? Glad I'm not the only one. I saw those sleep positioners; they look like a great idea! I just bought the one that looks like two bolsters joined in the middle that you put them in. I only use it for day sleeps when I can watch him and do it as often as I can as he already has a bad flat spot on his head.
Rikki - Congrats on making it to the 2 month mark without putting your baby in a 'return to sender' envelope and mailing off. Enjoy your trip South... where are you headed? Margrets'? Busselton?
Sheree - I'm another Perthie... NOR tho (I think I'm the only one) in Alexander Heights.
Maz - How you feeling hon?
Well... it is night number 8 of Xander going to bed at 9pm! I sure hope this continues.
OMG ... it worked!!! I bought this thing called 'Sassy 2 position sleep positioner' or something and she only woke once for a feed!! Went to sleep at 9.30, woke at 1am then not again until 5.30. She wakes at 5.30 every day to play with Daddy. She's so content now sitting in the bouncer watching TV. She loves that TV!
Anna** - Nina seems to be the same as Xander, she goes to sleep at around 9/9.30pm lately. That doesn't bother me too much as Heath and I are still awake. Nina too has a flat spot on her head, not really sure if we can do anything about it though.
nelle - my baby bonus took about 3 weeks (if that) to come through.
I wish Heath knew the difference between the cries. I know straight away if she has a dirty nappy, or if she's getting tired etc. But Heath has no idea and he'll continue playing with her thinking that's going to shut her up! I think these boys need a day or two at home, all day, to learn about their babies
laurin - how old is Rylee? Maybe another growth spurt?
Well I'm off to a funeral today. Heath's aunty's father passed away, so we thought we'd do the right thing and go.
Have a good day girls
good morning girls,
had a better night with riley he only woke up twice once at 12am and then at 4am then slept till 8am yay sleep in for me.
nelle - she like to be early so she can hang her bag up and have me read a book to her lol. so i cant complain she has never cried so far this term. last term was a different story all together.
boo boo - sounds like rylee is growing again. hope she settles for you today.
belle - ill catch up with you later today when i have been to medicare and to weigh riley.
maz - big hugs. you know where i am if you need to talk .
hello to everyone else i have missed .
later
Adele
Just lost my whole post and have a huge headache so I'll just say I am good (mostly) and hope you all are too
love
Merrie
sounds lika few of us had good nights :)
We went out last night so he slept some there then finally went down around 11.30pm after a extra feed again....but wait he didn't wake till 4am :) and then he woke at 6am but was just windy so we fixed that and he slept till nearly 9am :eek: but oh so nicve to sleep
Morning all,
Ashleigh woke twice overnight as usual but both times would only take about 15 mins on the boob so by morning I was huge, thought they were gonna burst. I was too tired to express anything overnight. They must be so heavy when they are full cause sometimes I wake up after sleeping on my back and have bit pain on my chest from the weight!
jodi_lee- Yay! glad to hear you found something that works to settle Nina, its always a relief when we find something that makes our bubs happy.
Nelle- Thanks for that idea, i will have to try that one out at some stage, at the moment I'm a bit scared to try anything again cause of the way i upset her! She sometimes sucks on my finger, she's not a big finger sucker though, sometimes i try to use it to settle her rather than use my breast and she looks at me with disdain as if to say "what the hell you putting in there".
ChrissyT- I still haven't even tried these Krispey Cremes. You travelled a long way to get them! I'm waiting for the Chadstone shop to open, I think its this week, then I'll go try them out.
Hello to everyone else, I still feel half asleep, been tired since Day light savings started, still trying to find that hour that i lost!
Time for a new thread girls.
