Hi Girls,
Well I just lost my post... WTF
Noni- Sorry I can not help with cloth nappies.. But I use to have a problem with Olivia
Leaking though.. I went up in a size and that seemed to help. When do you find out about the house?
Tamara- Happy Birthday and I hope you had a wonderful day
Art- Olivia still dosent have any teeth..
Cally- Re High Chairs I love the ones with wheels and that recline back. I have a prima pappa and it was money well spent.. Wow on K's New Trick..
Xavier is back to normal now however my poor Jordy now has temps.. I think whatever X had now Jordy might have. He did a poo on sat night but I am still waiting for more...
Olivia is now going from a sitting position to a crawl position.. Although she only does it when there is something she wants.. hahaahahahaha.
Hello to all and I am off to bed. Sweet Dreams
-
yeah we went up a size but no change :( i thought wed here about the house today but shes still waiting to hear back from the owner :(
-
Happy Birthday Tamara.
Welcome Leigh and Ruby (love the name).
Noni sorry can't help with the nappies. Did you end up hearing back about the house?
Leanne I hope your little ones all back to 100% very soon.
Cally that is so cute that K wants to cuddle your photos. Great to hear that sleep school was a success.
Arte good idea about the toy library.
Pregpan I am with all the others and want a dinner invite to your house.
Hi to everyone else I missed.
I am so tired, we had a busy weekend and I think it is catching up with me. I am sure there is something else I wanted to say but can't remember, oh well it obviously wasn't important. Sweet dreams everyone.
-
Cally - Oh yay I am so happy that you had success at sleep school. They have given you some good ideas there. I've also taken note of the tricks they taught you, Maddie has been a cheeky monkey at bed time lately.
Tamara - Happy birthday!!! So glad to hear you had a good time here in Perth. Glad you scored a bassinet on the way home. We are travelling o/seas later this year and when we booked the flights we put in our request for a bassinet both ways and apparently this has been granted....better be anyway!
Welcome to Leigh. I'm another fan of the name Ruby, it seems very popular as I was just saying to DP a few days ago if we had another girl I'd like the name Ruby!
Noni - Good luck with the house! I cant help with the cloth nappies either sorry, never used them. Are you using huggies? I use cheapos during the day and huggies at night. Maybe try going up a size?
Leanne - Bummer about Jordy catching Xavier's nasty bug. Hope it goes away quickly! Wow go Olivia, cant believe she's going into the crawling position.
Marydean - I'm another fan of the autum/winter clothing selection. Especially for kids. I also did a double take at your bun in the oven comment, my brain was ticking over thinking hang on didnt her DH just have the big V done?! lol. You are brave asking the person in front to undo their reclining chair, I wouldnt speak up and would suffer the whole way hehe.
Arte - lol at Will's teeth grinding & bum bum!
Pregpan - Yes I would love the fish recipe if you wouldnt mind posting it? I'm also stealing your cheese sauce idea. You are very creative in the kitchen thats for sure.
Clare - I've been guilty of posting at work before. Naughty isnt it!! :p
Sherie - Aww can just imagine Alister's dismount from the office. Bet it wont take him long to master it in a more graceful manner!
Renee - Thanks, I am trying my best to be creative with Maddie's purees. Its actually fun once you get into it I reckon! Is Dwayne over east again? I noticed that your FB status says you are missing him. :(
I have been wondering about LP & Queenie too. Hope they are both doing well. LP certainly had a full plate with her bub and two nieces.
I feel as if we are going backwards with solids. For the past few days now Maddie has been putting a hand over her mouth or shakes her head from side to side as if to say no, even to sweet potato which she used to chow down. She just wants milk. I'm not overly worried as I know it does take time with some bubs, but it just seems strange to me that she was doing so well and now wont have a bar of it. Anyone experienced this?
-
Oh & Hi to Katie & Logan & Gracie & Lewis! Hope you guys are well.
Also Sherie, I have never seen a stripper either, I also lead a very sheltered life!!!! The girls at work always tease me because I am so innocent and naive.....or so they think he he he :redface:
-
yeah we use huggies and have gone aup a size.. the lovely lady at downings downunder (an online mcn shop) suggested instead of spending heaps on a night time nappy set up i just buy a good cover to go over the disposable to stop it leaking onto her clothes what a lovely lady :)
-
morning all - immunisation day today here so poor Noah... and just when he was amazing with his sleep yest so i was all happy, now this will come along and ruin his routine!
of course if you were here you would all be invited along to dinner!
fish recipe - take a small fillet of a mild white fish (i used ling) - make sure no bones. cook it in milk (150ml with bay leaf, black peppercorns (whole) and a few sprigs fresh parsley) - heat the milkon the stove and then simmer the fish fillet in it for about 5 mins (til cooked through) - take the fish out, and get rid of the seasonings from the milk. flake the fish into a bowl. cook some chopped leek in butter for 5 mins, then cut up about 150g carrot and add water and cook for 15 mins, then add some sweet corn kernals and peas (i just used frozen). cook for 5 more mins. then add the veges to the fish (drain off the water). Make the cheese sauce using the milk from the fish, add cornfour and simmer stiring til thick. then add grated cheese and marscapone. Add this to the fish and veges and puree (i think can mash when they are older). Noah loves it!!!!
I hope this makes sense... it is an adaptation from my annabel karmel recipe book. you could also stir it through pasta which would be nice.
noni - no helpo with the nappieshere - we are having the same prob!!! did you hear about the house?
Hayley - N is also not so into his solids the last few days - i think they go through stages. i just offer different things and if he isnt into it i pack it all away and we try again at the next meal. i figure as long as he isnt off his milk (as if he ever would be) we are all ok!
gotta go - hello to everyone else... back later
-
Hi Girls,
Pregpan- I hope Noah is ok today.
Noni- Yep thats a great Idea.
Well Jordy still has temps but they are off and on... I just rang the paedatrician and he is calling me back... Everyone else is great... I would love some sleep though... I am at work today so no chance for me.
Hello to all and have a great day
-
goodmorning everyone :)
still no word on the house and i am hesitant to call them today because yesterday i called a few times and the receptionist didnt seem impressed lol..
Ashas gone off her milk lately sometimes only drinking like 120mls other times drinking half a bottle and coming back to it later but shes just not finishing the 210 anymore.. ive tried backing off with solids but she just gets grumpy and it dosnt make her drink more :( any ideas???
leanne - poor jordy!!! hope the paed gets back to u asap and u get a good nights sleep!!!
pregpan - thanks for the recipe it sounds great!! how much does it make?
haley and sherie - ive never seen a stripper either!!!!
-
ohhhh and how could i forget to say!!
ASHA SAID MUMMA YESTERDAY!!!!
lol she said mum and a few minutes later mumma and i havnt heard her say it since lol hope she hasnt forgotton how to say it haha
-
Hi guys
Hayley - Dwayne is working 12 hr days/ 7 days a week :( im experiencing the same with Rory except with milk. He wont drink his milk but he wants lots and lots of solids. Every bottle is a struggle and its doing my head in! *sigh* I wish I had some answers hun!
Noni - Congrats on Asha saying mumma! What a clever little girl :)
Tamara - Happy birthday )sorry its late)
Leanne - I hope Jordan is okay :( Poor darling! Fingers crossed it passes quickly
Pregpan - Thinking of Noah today, I hope all goes well xx
I am going to the shops to pick up some things for Rory's solids. What basics should I get??
Just found out my Aunty (my mums twin) has a growth in her bowel. She had it removed last night and they are doing tests on it to see if it is cancer. She now has a bag. She hasent had a good run. Her 1st husband died of cancer, her 2nd husband just got over bowl cancer and she just got over a previous operation to correct a twist in her bowel!! Feeling a bit lost at the moment. I dont know what to feel.
On a lighter note, Rory can wave now :) He seems to only like waving goodbye though haha.
Okay Ive got to run, its up to the shops then down to the hospital. Might not be around for a little bit guys. I need to support my mum, she is a mess.
xxx
-
Thanks Sherie, Haley and Noni for making me feel world-worn...yep been there seen the strippers now I'm just a tired old world-worn hag...LOL.
Renee, so sorry to hear about your Aunty's setback - fingers crossed it's not a cancer at all. Go look after your mum. xxx
Noni, I'm wondering if Asha and Rory are drinking less because the weather's a bit cooler? Is there a guide somewhere that says how much formula they should be drinking for their body weight once they are established on solids? I bet there is and I bet it says a range rather than one single amount, KWIM? Also don't forget sometimes they are hungrier than other times due to growth spurts, activity levels, etc. Anyway clever Asha saying Dadda and Mumma, looks like all the training paid off ;)!
Leanne, I hope Jordy is feeling much better soon! It would be nice to know for certain what is bothering him, wouldn't it.
Hi Katie, how's Logan going these days?
Pregpan, GL for Noah's injections. E had hers yesterday and I was unimpressed with the nurse's technique. It was at the GPs so I won't be going back there again. E has sailed through them this time :). Hope Noah's the same.
-
Oh Renee thats terrible! Your family has been hit bad with cancer lately. :( Such a horrible illness, i'd be so happy if they could somehow find some magical cure. I hope your Aunty gets better, how sad for your mum.
I'll be back later for more just quickly popped on to say the above.
-
Asha has her injections late this avo too :(
asha is in love with vegemite lol she had vegemite toast and dropped alot of it and wanted more lol so i put some vegemite on a rusk and she has just about sucked all the vegemite off lol its bloody everywhere though!!
renee - :hug: look after your mum.. hope everything turns out for the best and its not cancer
md - not sure if there is a guide? on the back of the formula tin it says 210 - 3-4 times a day for 6mths plus i spose asha is probably getting 3 210s a day out of her 4 bottles that she dosnt drink all of but its hard to tell..
-
back from the injections and the littleman is asleep now.. he was so good, a few little cries when they went in but nothing too bad... now he is tired, i wonder how long he will sleep for.
Renee - i am so sorry to hear about your aunty, and i am sure it is an awful time for your mum and for you. thinking of you.
noni - cant be of much help with the less bottles and i mainly bf noah, but i must say when i did intro the bottle of formula (he now has 1 bottle of formula a day ready for my return to work) there is no way he can drink the larger amiounts all at once like the tin says. max he will take at one go is150ml. i agree with md they would drink less now it is cooler, Noah is (in bfeeds). i think he has prob dropped a whole feed. dont worry too much about it, you could try bottle before solids if you think that would help. Good luck with the house! I would keep calling. and HUGE congrats on the MUMMA - I wanna hear that!!!
The fish recipe makes a lot, maybe 8 meals (maybe more) - i froze it in ice cubes.
ETA Noah is also a vegemite fan! squeals when the vege toast comes near him!
-
Pregpan, how many icecubes of frozen gourmet meals do you give Noah at each sitting? E is up to 3 cubes (mostly veggie) but she wolfed down an entire weetbix this morning plus a big spoonful of apple as well. Just curious...
-
pregpan - i actually got my mum to ring the real estate this morning as she has written a letter that i put with our application that says she is willing to be garauntour on the lease and has sent a copy of her payslip etc to them lol.. the property manager said " i know noni and michael have been waiting to hear back on the property. my computer has been down and i am waiting on a response via email from the property owner and will hopefully know today" what a cop out!!
md - asha at breakfast will eat one frozen cube of fruit with 4 - 5 tablespoons (before adding water) of her cereal.. lunch time shed eat say two cubes mixed with cous cous or the equivalent.. she eats a whole small jar of babyfood when i run out of things to give her.. dinner last night she probably ate around 3 cubes worth of rice pudding when she dosnt usually eat dinner lol shes becoming a real guts!!
-
oh well noni at least you know that it isnt that you didnt get the house. let us know!
md - noah prob has 5 cubes per meal!! the little piglet!!! he has a mix of the protein and veges and also fruit and sometimes yoghurt or custard. in fat now i think about it i reckon he eats more that 5 cubes at some meals LOL! i am also starting w the figer foods so sometimes he also chews on a piece of toast or today he had cheese.... it sounds like a lot when iput it like that LOL. but no affect AT ALL on his milk intake. i guess thats why he is 9.5kg!!!
