Babies Born September 2007 #18

[fianne]

hi ladies! looking forward to seeing photos of alister and miss e.

is there a guideline anywhere of when babies are ready to go from capsule to car seat? i put max in the car seat today and it was a good fit. straps weren't even in the lowest hole. the car seat we've got has the insert for infants. this is a second hand one that a friend had given us so i don't have any manual or anything. i want to put max in it because i think it may make car rides better for her and if she was facing front, she can see me and i can talk to her and it would hopefully make for a more peaceful car ride.
brisbane/qld ladies, are we able to meet up before arte crosses the tasman sea?
eta: this was typed yesterday and forgotten hope everyone'd having a good weekend

ok, i've gone through the posts since i started this....
...ms e and alister are such cuties!!! and nice to put a face to names, sherie and md!
...would've really like to have met you in RL arte, but i do understand how hectic things can get with the move. good luck
...arte, isn't it such a pain in the a$$ when people just can't make up their mind? i tend to make it for them. lol

morning,

Arte grrrr at your inlaws. I cant beleive you will be going so soon. Let us know if you do have any time for a catch up.

Fianne I am not 100% but I think they recommend forward facing car seats at a certain weight, about 9kg I think. It is just a guidline though and many people turn theres around when they think their bubs is ready.

Its has poured down here all night, my front garden is stating to pool. I much prefer it when it rains at night, I have a few loads of washing to do and I hate being stuck at home with nothing to do on the weekend- it means I have to clean my bathroom lol.

Hayley she is adorable, check out the little boobies- to cute. Did you play games at the pash party? I had one of those types of parties for my hens night and we played some pretty outrageous games. I am not puting Logan on solids until he is 6 months, we aren't in a hurry after all we have loads of time for him to eat real food. He has had rice cereal twice in the last two weeks.

We have had such a boring day today. Logan still doesnt seem to be hungry, he takes the breast butthen doesnt want a bbottle or doesnt have very much, I am hoping it means he doesnt want formula anymore. Otherwise I guess it could be teeth?? He is still a happy little monkey so I am not worried and just let him lead.
I hope everyone has had a good weekend. I hope LP is back on soon and that everything is ok.

time for a new thead again

Sherie - Oh that pic is so cute! Looks like you guys had a fun time. Have you ever met before?

Fianne - Thats good that you are happy with your decision. As you know you have done so well to BF for that long. I had Maddie on formula on week 2! At the time I felt like the worst mummy ever, but looking back I'm glad we made the decision to go formula. Whatever works for you both I guess.

Arte - I have since realised (partly from everyone's comments, thanks girls) that the CHN was over exaggerating. Maddie does the same with flapping around the arms and legs and face planting. However she has her moments when she gets right up there. Since I've been putting her on the tum heaps more there is already improvement. I think the CHN was also worried about the fact that she has a bit of a flat head at the back, so I need to get her off it as much as possible. I cant believe you are leaving for NZ so soon, I was thinking it was at least a couple of months away!

Katie - Are you waiting till 6 mths before starting Logan on solids? Only one still BFing, well done.

I went to a pash party last night, which is kind of like an adult shop party but not as tacky. It was a good laugh thats for sure! A lot of the girls bought scary looking sex toys, but I'm not into any of that hehe - instead I bought a game called 52 weeks of romance, and the whole idea is each week someone takes a card, and it will say for example leave a rose on your partners pillow or greet your partner at the door after work with a big kiss and their fave home cooked meal. Some are a bit corny, but we need to put the romance back into our relationship after 7 yrs and a baby!!
