oh god Noni dont talk about KFC!!!!!!! Oh I would kill for KFC I havent had fast food in a week....and Im freaking out. I need to get rid of 6kgs to get back to my normal weight.....it just isnt happening!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I have a craving for KFC mash potato & Gravy YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be strong Renee, be strong! I had a melt down this morning because I couldnt fit into any of my work pants. Im still wearing my paternity pants

[*noni*e*]

renee - in my experience (lol because i am so wise now i have lost 4kgs at ww hahahaha) if u deny yourself you will inevidably (unless you are extrememly strong willed) end up bingeing on it and eat more then you would have, or binge on something u dnt really want.. id say you should eat something small from there and even it out by eating well the rest of the week gotta treat yourself every now and then.. haha last night i ate a flake and a mars bar!! needless to say today ive been alot more strict hahaha

[Artechim]

Gee it has been busy in here today! Have to post quickly because bath time is nearly over and he will want his mummy

Katie, it was great to meet up with you today. Logan is such a cutie. I had an extended stupid moment before I went home - I forgot my PIN number for my bank card and couldn't get any cash out for tolls to get home. I ended up in line to make a manual withdrawal when it suddenly came back to me.

Noni, hope your DP gets over his sulky and finds something else soon.

Can't remember what else has happened.

MD, I have realised when you asked about bath seat for older babies you meant the sit upright seats not the cradle type ones. We have to get W a sit up one now, he won't stay lying down at bathtime now. Do they fit in the baby baths or do we have to use the big bath?

Added a little series of photos to my gallery

[Artechim]

Double post

[*noni*e*]

arte - what a clever boy sitting up already!!!

[Ozstar]

Arte love the photos, he looks bigger in the photos then in RL. Thanks again for today it was great.

Noni I hope your DP gets over himself and starts looking for a job, sorry that wasnt meant to sound so harsh. You and Asha are going great guns with solids, good for you.

Renee I say just do it, go for the KFC. Mmmmm zinger burger *drools*.

Rach sounds like your going through heaps at the moment and doing a great job. I agree with MD about it being a wonderweek. I think Logan just had his last week but has been much better this week.

MD I wish we could all meet up, it would be such a blast and such a kodak moment. PMSL at your "wifely" duties to funny.

LP hows Scarlet doing now? She recovered from her needles?

Fianne I hope Max starts to settle soon and you get a good nights sleep.

Jazmum hope H takes to the food like a duck to water. I cant wait to get pics of Logan with food all over his face.

Pregpan I hope N starts sleeping through again, I am dying for Loagn to sleep through.

Sorry to everyone I forgot, I hope everyone has had a great day.

[reneenay]

Oh forgot to mention, Rory rolled from back to belly for the first time last night whooohooo!

Katie - okay you have convinced me (wasnt hard lol)! But if I put on any weight this week im going to blame you hahaha...only joking! But hey I need someone to blame! Wasnt Logan sleeping through the night not long ago??

Noni - Hope your DH finds a good secure job soon.

MArydean - Has your book come in the mail yet??

My Jack Johnson tickets came in the mail today! Very excited about that!

Look at all the posting I did today while I was at work haha

[Ozstar]

Renee you can blame me, I dont mind . Logan hasnt slept through since he was little. He only wakes once though (except the other night) so I don't mind to much. Shouldn't complain he is a great little bub who spends most of the day laughing and playing.

Im so bored and cant be bothered doing anything.

[Trillian]

Renee, you norti girl for posting at work When is your concert?

Arte, I reckon you would need to put those seats in the normal bath, the baby bath might not be wide enough? I reckon I need one of those, Alister likes to sit up in the bath and play with toys and my arm gets tired holding him.

I am trying to figure out how to upload to you tube. I took a small movie of Alister on my camera and want to show you guys.

[Isadora]

Oh far out I'm behind big time again!

Renee - Her daddy did that fateline sticker on her forehead!!! He is such a meanie. That was when I was doing up labels for all her gear to take to day care. How are you going with work? You are lucky that you can leave Rory with his grandma. Enjoy your holiday you lucky girl!!

Sherie - I've never used you tube myself so sorry no help there. I hope you figure it out because I'd love to see little Alister!

Katie & Arte - Sounds like you two had a great day, good on you!

Noni - Oh no what a shame that DP lost his job! I hope he can find another soon enough. Oh nooo dont tell me that potato and gravy has chicken fat in it haha its so good though!

Bilby1 - Hang in there!! Is she actually waking for feeds or just out of habit now?

Hayley - Wow you have a great caring GP! How nice of her to set aside time to call you.

Marydean - Yay for Elisabeth sleeping!

Jazmum - I hope starting Hannah on solids goes well for you. Isnt it weird, we have one bub who is supposedly over the normal weight and one below - all babies are different, I dont understand?

Wow seems like many people are starting their bubs on solids. I'm nervous about venturing down the solids path...I bought some farex stuff last night but I think I am waiting till she is 5/6 mths or at least showing an interest. Also I dont think Maddie has figured out how to use her tounge yet iykwim, she often still accidently pushes her bottle out of her mouth with her tongue.

I had a talk to my SIL today. She was still a bit upset about baby Spencer, apparently when he came out he was blue like no tomorrow. She said she was terrifed that she was going to lose him and says its going to take her awhile to get over it. OMG I almost cried. Other than that she is doing fine and is already going home tomorrow. She is bottle feeding and he is feeding well, so really no need for her to be in the hospital any longer.

[LiddlePixie]

Art & Katie ~ I'm glad you girls had fun! Are you going to do it again?! I hope so, I'd really love to meet up too Scarlet's temp has gone down but she's still being very clingy & sooky - I'm sure she'll be fine tomorrow. lol @ Will looking at Logan.

Hm, MD you just reminded me that my wonder weeks book is still not here, Thanks i completely forgot i ordered it, I will have to see whats going on.

I had soooo much more to write but i'm doing 5 things at once ~ Catch up with you all tomorrow!

ETA: WOW Art! Will can sit up on his own!?!

[Trillian]

Hayley, would you ever suggest that your SIL join up here? I completely understand if you don't, but she might benefit from being able to talk about it. Alister wasn't that blue when he was born, but by god it gave me a fright. I'm going to need heaps of time to upload it, its a big file and I only have dial up.

Arte, I uploaded similar pics tonight of Alister too LOL. Will certainly is a clever boy sitting up so well.

Rach, I'll jump on the developmental stage bandwagon too LOL. Fingers crossed she is past it soon for you.

I honestly don't know how Alister would go if I tried some rice cereal, but I am really nervous about allergies with him, so I reckon the April school holidays will be a good time to start - he'll be nearly 7mths then, but if he looks like he needs it earlier then I will try a little.

[LiddlePixie]

oh guys... I KNOW i should know this but.. What is a normal temp for a baby? I've completely forgotten.

[Ozstar]

LP I am not 100% sure but I think it is 36.5 to 37.5 (above would be a high temp). I would check my thermometer but it is in Logans room and he is asleep. If your concerned ring the 1300 Dr number.

[Isadora]

I think if its anything above 38 its too high. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sherie - I will suggest that she joins up here, but she is a busy girl. She is planning on going back to work 4 days a wk when he is 6 wks old, but I'm wondering whether she is going to change her mind now that she has her little man - its not like they need the money. In the meantime she said she is going to call me later in the wk when things have settled down to 'de brief'. I'm so glad I have someone to chat to on the ph about child birth!!! I never said anything to her while she was pregnant because I didnt want to worry her, but the first thing she said to me, OMG it hurt!!! haha.

[Ozstar]

Hayley its great that she has you to talk to. Joining here would be great for her, I dont know what I would do without Belly Belly.

[Trillian]

I think it is 38deg? Have you given her any panadol LP? Or tried a tepid bath if she is awake.

Hayley, she might change her mind, 6 wks goes by so fast, it will be here before she knows it.

Hi ladies, hope everyone is happy and healthy.
Its been a while since I last log in. I think I missed two whole thread at least
Life has been quite busy around here with DH moving to a different job. He used to be able to come home for lunch, but now the new office is quite far.
So he can only see William first thing in the morning and really late at night.

Since new year William has started to roll over both ways ... so no more quiet time for mum LOL. He has also cut one tooth - the bottom one. Funny to see the white tiny bits whenever he laughs. Hope he wont ever bite when BF
Another thing is, he is bald now We shaved his head last week. Its sort of a tradition in DH family and they usually do it before bub turns one month old.

With hair, I am losing heaps. Even DH noticed that and told me to ask the GP. But I think it would be useless, gp would probably say its normal

With poo, he is still having at least 4-5 per day. Still lots of nappy changes for us LOL

Weight, he is 6.9kg and 63cm. Not big compared to other bubs in this thread, but still looks chubby to me

LP - congrats on the course. Wow, Scarlet is going to be a tall girl Hope she bounces back quickly from the needles. W hasnt had the 4th month one, he was really unsettled last time

Noni, sorry about your DH. Hope he will find a good job soon. How is the solid going on, does it take a long time to prepare everyday?

Hayley - congrats on being an auntie! I am so happy for you. What a drama, thank goodness everything's okay. Poor your SIL, hope she gets over it soon. It broke my heart reading your post, cause I just watched video when W was born.

Sherie - good luck with the nick and stitch. Btw, what did you put on Alister skin last time? W has a rash around his cheeks, first I thought its just teething rash. It might be eczema though, cause I can see similar condition on his tummy as well
Btw cant wait to see Alister in action

MD - yay on E sleeping well

Katie & Arte - glad you guys had a wonderful time. Did you take photos of Will & Logan? Arte, Will is such a cutie and sitting down already!

Pregpan - we use car seat from the very beginning. Check toys r us, they sometimes have good bargain for safe n sound

Renee - Phuket sounds great. Ohhh no, now I am craving KFC popcorn chicken & twister LOL. Yay on Rory rolling!

ETA - LP I think above 37.7 is considered high. Try google it though
