morning everyone
not sure whether it was teeth, tummy ache or tiredness but last night Hannah was soo unsettled. She went to bed at about 6:30pm and woke again at 9 ish. She was squirming, throwing her head back and clawing at me. I gave her a spray of the Tissue salts stuff and she let a few fluffs off. I thought it may have been the bread she had yesterday, but surely she wouldn't have ingested enough?
I started the mini pill yesterday - i guess this could probably effect her too - but so soon? She has pooed 3 days in a row!!! - since she had her Bowen therapy - the therapist must have pushed the right buttons lol.
hayley - lucky you having the laser treatment (does this mean your leaving the 'no sex' club ? lol)

Katie - I had it done at hairfree. It costs $75 a go for extended bikini. You need about 7 - 10 treatments, and then a top up once a year, before summer. They cant promise that its permanent removal for some people, but it reduces it alot. My friend gets brazillian and has finished her treatments, and only has a few strays here and there.
Jazmum - Poor Hannah. Maddie was the same last night. I'm the same with you with wondering if its the solid food. Since we started she has been so unsettled at night, whereas before I'd put her down and that would be it. Leaving the no sex club hahahaha....maybe!
Poor Maddie is in the wars lately. She has woken with a green, snotty nose. Sorry if TMI. She is happy though. She is getting a pic at portrait place today lol. And I have woken with a sore throat ahhhh!!

Hayley, I've always wanted to get the hairy bears sorted out once and for all but I've never been game since I have thigh hangups (! from being called thunderthighs constantly by my MOTHER when I was a skinny lil teenager - don't even go there!). Anyway, it's a bit of a TMI question, but do they go right in and get the hairs on your inner thigh? What happens about your umm modesty?
Registered User
hi md - thats a good question. hairy bears
Registered User
lol hairy bears i am too chicken to go and get anything like that done...
gave asha a bit of toast n a tiny bit of vegemite on it this morning she sucked and chewed and had a great time
Registered User
Glad all my fellow yeti-women are coming out of the woodwork again!
Noni - mmmm toast n vegemite, she's a happy little Aussie!
Jazmum & Cally, I hear you on the crazy nights, my sister kept telling me E had wind while we were there (on account of all the night time crying) but I'm not convinced. I still think it's teeth, combined with possibly some separation anxiety because Daddy suddenly disappeared for a week each time. At least I know it's not the food since she was like this before we started the solids. There was even controlled crying talk at our house last night (really it's beyond a joke now) but she's too little yet. I'm hoping she'll pop some teeth then go back to sleeping like she did with only 1 or 2 get ups every night (I can handle that alone)...if it gets closer to DH going away and she's still like this then it will have to be controlled crying or the sleep clinic, or I just won't cope. DH was practically delirious yesterday, he's been staying up and letting me sleep because I was sooo tired (he's like an automaton like that) but now it has taken its toll on him too.
Clare, meant to say re the cheese - perhaps try leila on yoghurt first for a couple of weeks, if she gets the rash with that you will know it's a dairy thing, and you can wait a month or two and then try again. The thing with cheese is, it's quite high in tasty food chemicals (amines) so the rash could be from that, instead.
Thanks all for your ergo comments, have convinced DH it's the way to go - now just shopping around for a MD bargain.
Gracie, I should've known you'd be in the thick of the batchelor watchers (I only ever watched the one with the tennis guy and thought it was Hee-larious)! I've not been watching much telly lately except for Doc Martin, Life Begins and *of course* Big Love...just saw two episodes I'd missed from the first series, man they were soooo good! Agree with the platinum, not sure it would help me be an effective single mother though LOL I'd be too tempted to stay at home all day everyday watching telly.

Marydean - Lol hairy bears! If you have bikini or extended bikini, you can keep your knickers on, and they get everything that isnt covered by your knickers iykwim. You can hike your knickers up a bit so that they take more than just the bikini. If you are getting the whole lot then you obviously have to go nakie!They make you feel so comfortable as well. It literally takes 2 minutes so you arent lying there in your knickers for very long. I dont like taking my knickers off for waxing etc. I had to once and lay there the whole time mortified lol. However, they have seen it all, you should so give it a go if you are interested. Its so easy I was so suprised and I'm just sorry that I hadnt started earlier.
Noni - Oh yay glad Asha enjoyed the toast. You have inspired me, I'm going to give Mads some toast this morning when she wakes from her nap.
Registered User
Well havent you all been a chatty bunch today.
Noni gald Asha liked the toast. Logan has vegimite or plain bread. I just cut the toast into 3 pieces (thast what I call soldiers).
Renne had to laugh at Rory looking like you fed him lemons. My SIL let L tatse a lemon over Easter, It is the funniest photo we have of him so far.
Hayley Pixi photos are bugging me to come in but I know I will spend to much money so I wont go. I used to work at Portrait place ( I am sure you care lol).
Cally good luck at sleep school.
Sherie I got my hair cut too, not very short though. My hairdresser had a laugh at all the short bits at the nape of my neck where Logan has been grabbing.
MD I hope E starts sleeping for you before your DH goes away.
Gracie have you seen "a shot with Tila Tequilla" on MTV? Its like an outrageous bachelor.
I got my hair trimmed and eyebrows waxed today and feel great. It was nice to get out without Logan (that must sound terrible). I had a lovely dinner and am now kicking back having a drink (lets hope Logan doesnt wake up and want a feed lol).

Sherie - Oh I know I get sucked in big time lol. The pics are just beautiful though and I have to buy a couple. Just cant believe how expensive it can get.
Katie - What was it like working at portrait place? They had a sign up saying they were looking for people and I have to admit I went oooh! However I think I've just got free photos in mind hehe. Feels great to have a pamper session doesnt it.
Noni - I'm also wondering how long they stay on purees for, so I'd be interested to hear what the experienced mummies have to say. I havent been introducing in any order either...whoopsies?
Renee - All up on food shopping we spend $180 a week and then $30 - $40 on fresh fruit and veges every weekend. I use snugglers during the day and havent had a single problem with them. Otherwise I have also been told babylove are quite good. And also I used the woolworths select brand once and they were great!! Renee I love Judge Judy, I just love how she puts people in their place! She is so good.

Noni, we're following an allergy-prevention program with the food introduction because of the high no of ppl in my family with atopic allergies (eczema, asthma, hayfever) but I'll be a bit more relaxed about it than I was with DD1. It means only introducing one new thing every 2 or 3 days so if they are going to react to something you know exactly what it is. So far so good. BTW toast soldiers is when you cut the toast into long skinny fingers (like you do for dippy eggs LOL). After a while on very well blended purees you can start offering things that are more coarsely mashed, and then you can start adding more textured stuff gradually, so the food gets lumpier and lumpier until it's practically normal food. Done gradually over a period of time. When your bubs is eating well you can start experimenting with texture. It takes some bubs longer than others.
BTW, photos please of all the new hairdos!
Sherie I had a good giggle over A saying clock! LOL Well we can only hope. E hasn't sustained any bruises yet but it's only a matter of time, I had her sitting up in a circle of cushions and she managed to fall over onto the only hard plastic toy in the entire 360 degree arc LOL.
Renee, we've been using the Aldi nappies and find them just as good (and a bit less smelly) than the Huggies ones. When i'm in non-Aldi land we used baby love or snugglers (*snap* Hayley). Also, good tip with the winter gear, if you want them in tops and bottoms, get the body-suit singlets - that way you still get the mix n match effect of the outside clothes without the cold tummy!
Cally good luck at sleep school, I can't wait to hear all about it, especially the techniques they use, just in case we're next. (I'm assuming that's QE2 in Canberra?) Did you have wait long after you contacted them for a booking?
Hayley, I'm still stuck on the extended bikini line - do you mean you get a narrower runway or a shorter runway? LOL Sorry if TMI.
We went to the hard rubbish recycling place today and got a stool for sitting next to the big girl cot for our patting and shooshing sessions, also found a FisherPrice activity board thingo and one of those step thingys for the dunny (when they are toilet training) - all in v good condition. Not bad for $8 all told! Also went to the lighting shop for a 15 watt bulb and while we there I found this groovy LED lightbulb that changes colours - it goes in a normal light fitting and only uses 1 watt of power! How cool is that. Now we're fighting over which room to put it in.

Ladies, thank you so much for your kind words, they mean so much for me
I didnt cry when I left him at childcare but reading your posts made me teary, honestly!
Sorry I couldnt post earlier, DH is sick so I have been taking care of two babies LOL
Re. W's first day, he cried and was unsettled in the morning but they said he was a bit better after his nap. But he still refused EBM in bottlebut had a little bit of banana there.
The other thing is one of the carer whom we both like and who took care of him most of the time on 1st day is leaving. I am hoping he didnt have to go through the same stranger-anxiety again next week when the carer is gone.
Guess this is the way with childcare, staff moving all the time. Actually all the carers there have been working for >10 years so hopefully this wont happened again. We had no luck with FDC so we need to follow this path for the time being.
His solid is getting a bit better. I think I mentioned last time that he refused everything, so we stopped for a while until he looked really interested and grabbed DH's chocolate croissant LOL. He now loves finger food and bread.
His favourite thing at the moment is moving on his tummy backwards. It frustrates him though. He wants to grab toys but the more he tries he moves even further from them.
Okay, time for personals
Registered User
Go vegemite! Lots of true aussie kids here LOL. I think we might give that a go shortly, he loves chewing bread so far.
Re words, he still babbling bababa, dadada, and wawawa but not mummum (I envy you Renee LOL)
Sherie, I was going to mention about sale at myer, cause I remember you like sprout range too, but I guess I was way too late LOL. I bought W a coat and a jumper for winter. Yay on the haircut and LOL at clock. Poor A with the tumbles.
Cally, yay on the teeth appearing with no problem. GL with sleeping school.
Noni, he is not into puree so we've started on finger foods or just simply mashing the food with fork.
Renee, we still use huggies. I bought some bonds wondersuit several months ago when it was on sale, size 0. We tried it on him yesterday but it wont fit him, too small
Gracie, congrats on the photos. Glad you and Lewis werent home on Wed, lots of trees falling here too, not to mention the sand storm
Katie, love Logan photos esp. the smiling one on highchair. Have to agree with MD on your quote, it says everything. Re bread, we give him wholemeal bread too.
Arte, Will looks so happy going on a boat trip
MD, re signing that reminds me of meet the fockers movie where robert de niro signed with his grandson so hillarious
With teething, hope Miss E is better. W has 4 teeth now and I have to agree with you that bonjella didnt do the trick for us either. What works best for us is Braueur teething relief.
Hugs to you, hope the sleep gets better and sorry to hear about your DH. Platinum foxtel, bring it on!
Jazmum, hope Hannah is feeling better, poor bubba. I guess I am in the no sex club too LOL. GL with the christening. W was baptized back in December.
Hayley, hope you and Maddie are better now. I am sure she looks so cute in the photos, don?t forget to show us if you can.
Leanne, yay on getting less pressure at work.
Pregpan, yay on fdc placement, weight loss, and back at work. I am going back to work in May so hoping W will settle in childcare before that. He is there two days a week now.
Charlismum, have a nice trip
Hi Supa, Clare
Have a nice weekend everyone
Gottago now, he is waking up

Just popping in to say hi. I am in the south island again for a friends wedding, mums car died and I had to leave in a hurry a day earlier than planned so she could use my car to go to work.
Wedding went well, Will was so good. He was really tired but was still smiling at everyone. Had a taxi driver that thought it was o.k to drive on the wrong side of the road! In NZ you don't need a car seat in a taxi, can just hold them in your lap in the back - we took our own seat!
I will catch up with posts later, hope everyone is well.
Oh, he got his first tooth on friday, didn't even know it was coming. I think its buddy is giving him a bit of trouble though.

just popping in to say Hi *waves madly*. I am feeling supa dooper tired today so will try to jump on tomorrow for personals.

Me too LOL - kids had yet ANOTHER birthday party today and I am a bit over it already - the year isn't even halfway through yet.
how did everyone's bubs go with daylight savings ending? Alister was OK - not up too much earlier than normal, but tonight he was in bed by 7.30, when it is normally 8.30. So not sure if that will last or if he will work it out and go back to 8.30, either way it isn't a problem.
