well wait to you see my belly..i think its huge as well..maybe tomorrow

[Boo Boo]

Nelle - thanks for the photos - your belly looks great.

Rylee went to sleep without a peep tonight, first time in aaaaggggeees.
Yes, it is hard with DH being away but the job he does is quite specialised and he would have to wait for a project to come up in Aus and even then it wouldn't be in Melbourne so that is life. There is always something in our lives that isn't perfect, some people have money troubles, health worries, etc, etc and I guess this is my thing so I just have to cope with it. That comes out making me sound like a martar but you get know what I mean....Anyway, enough about me.....

Wishing you all a wonderful sleep.

Lol, well that would make for a freakishly looooong baby Caddie, considering that it's engaged! Though that's what much of Riv's weight was, his length.
I think the butt's around my belly button, I'd put my money on that bump being a foot, my right side is getting quite the battering lately.

That IS an incredibly busy day, good on you!! Sounds like your rest is well earned!

Nothing much more to say, just trying to wind down with a beer mug of milk before bed.

Hope everyone has a great night's sleep, along with the rest of their families!

Hi Girls. Sorry Ive been slack about posting more but both boys have a cold and my inlaws arrived Monday so not alot of privacy.

Ive got an appt with my GP for thurs to get Ripley seen to finally. The poor kid just cant settle or feed well, he's constantly groaning and crying. I really think there is something wrong, so Im hoping my GP takes me seriously and we can fix the poor boy so he's happy again.

Ive also decided to give relactation a crack I can still squeeze some milk out of my boobs but it isnt the good stuff so at my appt Im going to ask for some motilium to get my supply back and slowly reintroduce it. I tried latching him on tonight to see if he remembered how and he did it first go so no issues with attachment thankgod. I hope Im making the right decision, I really miss it and life isnt THAT much easier with him being ff.

Anywho Im trying to get him off to sleep so best get back to that. We're off to Melb on Fri night for 3 days with the inlaws and our friends+kids so excited to take the kids to Aquarium and Zoo, oh and get me some Krispy Kreme's

Big hugs to everyone xoxo

Nelle, your so tiny still, where are you hiding that baby girl? Yes Im 100% sure its a girl Not long to go now, you must be so excited!
Maz, Mat is gorgeous as always! Cant believe theyre 2mths old now

[Nelle]

Ive also decided to give relactation a crack.

If you need a cheer squad, we're right here mate. That's awesome that your little guy reattached well, sounds like he feeds like a champ.
Hope you can get stuff sorted at the dr's too.

As for the gender, well, you'll all just have to wait and see won't you? You're right though, not too much longer for Ness and I at all!
Time flies when you're having fun hey! Don't believe me? Well how about this - in about 5 months, some of the older bubbas will be turning 2!!

[Freya]

Hush Nelle, I think we're all living in blissfully ignorant bubbles where 2nd birthdays are concerned

I personally dont want to think about it because then I'll have to be sad that Ripley will be 1 a few months later Atleast I might be pregnant again by then

[Marnikat]

Thanks to everybody for the advice! I have tried pretty much everything. She wont eat any fruit either - except for fruit flavoured yoghurt. That is why it concerns me so much. She never used to be fussy then suddenly one day she decided that she didnt want to eat anything! Veges are shocking - the only way i am able to get her to eat anything other than mashed tato is to grate them up really small and mix them into 2 min noodles. She loves those. If I puree them into her potato she wont eat it. I have tried all fruit she wont eat any of it. Occasionally she will eat a banana muffin for me. She even picks the sultanas out of hot cross buns before eating!! I will try the baby vitamins and hope that one day she will start eating for me again.

Annat - good luck with starting breast feeding again I really hope that it works for you both. I also agree with you on not wanting the to turn two. I just want Tiana to stop growing up! I want my bubba back.

Jodi - I hope that you and Nina are feeling better. Lemonade icypoles are great when sick

Maz - Thats great to have made it to 8 weeks. He is such a gorgeous little boy!

Ambz - Thanks for the vitamin name. I will have a look for it and see if she can take it.

Nelle - Its hard to believe there is nearly a full term baby in there! You have a cute baby belly.

Nessa - Did you finish packing? Hope you are feeling better and everything is settling down.

Sorry to all that I missed. Hope everybody is having a lovely week!

I don't like this undressing themselves business! I put Ash down at 12:20 for nap, 1:00 she is crying, go in she is sitting with her legs dangling thru bars, naked (cept for nappy) all her PJ's on the floor, sheet, teddy all on floor!

Marni- I was thinking too bout suggesting smoothies? If she likes milk type drinks maybe you can make fruit smoothies, that was only way my sister got fruit into my nephew and he wouldn't eat vegies either.

Jodi- How are you both now? Ash has had some diarrhea too yesterday and so did Dh last night, lucky nothing explosive and no vomiting. Make sure you both keep up your fluids.

Mum3girls- maybe you could try the mylanta on the nappy rash, worked great for Meg and J. If you can predict when its happening you could even try next month using it just bout the time it occurs to stop it.

AnnaT- Hope relactation works well for you. Have you stopped BFing all together at the moment or were you still doing 3 feeds a day? I think it should work out if you persevere, maybe try expressing bit too just to stimulate your breasts and help get your supply back up and running. breastmilk might also help his tummy bit too.

Nelle- I can't guess with you what you are having, my mind won't decide, hmmm must mean its twins and you're not telling us! And fruitless hot cross buns are the best! Saves me time from sitting there carefully picking out every bit of fruit (which my sister and I used to do when we were kids)

Belle- Oh wow I hope you find out the flavour and let us know too! (not like nasty Nelle keeping secrets, lol) Has the m/s settled doen for you yet?

Ambz- Those teeth broken thru yet? We are having similar probs here Ash is chomping on her fingers constantly and getting very grizzly.

I have been baking mini banana muffins from scratch! (I'm usually a packet chick) taste quite nice too, just hoping the real food critic passes them.
Went to the park this morn befoe it started heating up and stopped off at newsagents for my powerball ticket, tomor night I'm planning on being $15 million richer.

[Boo Boo]

Oh Jodi what a horrible night you have had, bad enough just one of you being sick but both you and Nina - not good - hope it was just a quick bug and you are on the mend. Hugs

[maz]

only a quicky..sorry girls

Jodi - OMG you poor hon!!! I hope that the gastro nicks of really soon.

AnnaT - way to go hon...Am sure you can do the relac thing!

MArni - I have a penguin waffle maker and make zuchinni ' penguins' in it...its the only way i can get Wilehlm to eat zuchinni and mushroon, and onion..let me know if you want the reciept..

AH having a horrible day. vy got her 18month needles (chicken pox) and Mateauz got his 2 month needles...Im ready to run for the hills. If you hear youdelling...its me!

[lilima]

Jodi - Hope ypu get a good rest today.

Shell - I too pick the fruit out of hot cross buns. Even better. get the chocolate chip ones.

Marni - J is also totally off food. All he will eat is cheese sandwiches and fruit. He used to eat everything, but since he got sick about a week ago, he will eat maybe 2 spoons of veggies, and that's it.

Shar - Like Shell said, try putting mylanta on her bum if it is sore. It worked for J. was recommended by the GP.)

Nelle - Nice belly pics!

Caddie - Busy day yesterday. Hope you have a quieter one today.

AnnaT - Good luck with the relactation.
