Babies Born September 2007 #29

[Patooties]

Renee - Jess never crawled properly - she went straight from commando to walking. I hope Rory has a better night sleep for you tonight.

pregpan - you're not being self absorbed - and even if you were - you have every right to be! it's so hard having a sick bubba, and even harder when your dh is away. i hope you get to have a good night's sleep tonight. re the nipple biting - ouch! hannah has bitten me once but thankfully hasn't done it again. Does N do it at the end of a feed?

cally - hope K's tummy settles for you - and her. that's great that she is drinking the water. Hannah doesn't seem to like it - but i think i need to buy her a cup with handles.

md - so glad that fdc went well today, for both of you.

Are any of our babies sleeping through the night?

[Ginger]

hello lovelies

md and pregpan- i'm really feeling for you guys right now. dp was on his way home from work when he just got a call out to a job in malvern and then has to go to another call out in pakenham (miles away from each other).
ggrrr he won't be home for hours and i hate it already! i'll have to bath lewis and cook by myself and just the thought of it is not cool! i don't know how you do it all the time!

i'm heading off to the baby bonds search in the morning with a friend and her dd (thanks for the tip-off fianne). i think it's going to be an absolute nightmare though and i'm not looking forward to it. think i might end up in the food court munching on some lebanese food somehow....just printed lewis' number and he is 43000 something!!! crazy huh?

noni- asha's prof photo is great. did you get many other ones or just the one?

[Patooties]

gracie - i saw some photos from the Bonds search in Brisbane - a huge line up! I guess if a baby is still happy after waiting for so long - they'll do well in a photo shoot lol.

[Trillian]

Gracie, May the force be with you tomorrow - patience you will need It is insane allright - I saw it on the sydney news last night and So many kids were just completely over it and their parents should have taken them home and not worried. I'm a big believer in that if it isn't fun for the kids then you shouldn't do it. Wouldn't it be fab if he got through though?

Cally, It could be something as simple as having too much solid in her belly - let us know if cutting it down works for her.

Jaz, I don't think there is anyone who is getting a full 8hrs solid sleep LOL - I know I haven't since he was 4-5mths old.

Pregpan, if he hasn't pooed for a while, then it might be a sign he is near the end of it. Fingers crossed that it is.

[MamaPan]

oh i wish he was over it - he did a big poo at about 5 oclock, just too late for me to collect and drop into pathology and then he vomited when iw as giving him some potato - i think it was that he gagged and it all came up but i am not sure. and now all my hard work with offering lots of small feeds and trying to get him to have the gastrolyte has been spewed up... great... thanks for all the support ladies, i really do appreciate it. i hope it ends soon it is AWFUL!
Gracie - good luck tomorrow, i am sure your little cutie will do well. i dont think i could brave the lines of people!!
Jaz - N hasnt slept through since he was 4 months. i got wooed early on witha good sleeper and it has been downhill from there LOL! in fact i think Cally may be winning o the sleep stakes now (though Rory sounds like a champion sleeper!) ETA HAYLEY we were postinga t the same timeGO MADDIE THE SLEEP CHAMP!!!
MD is that osteo in tuggeranong? a friend went to one there for her DS and he was highly recommended and she RAVES about him.
ok i think i will try and get N to bed early, he may as well get a bit of sleep under his belt before the night really begins (plus to be hinest i have had it and would love him to go to bed)
Gracie - will think of you when i am showering N tonight and when i cook dinner- there are a few of us doing it alone tonight!

[Isadora]

Pregpan - OH NO poor Noah, that sounds terrible for the poor little thing. And not to mention the worry and sleepless nights for you! I hope he gets well soon. Maddie had a gastro bug from daycare at one stage too and it seemed to go within a couple of days, hope Noah's is the same. Also dont worry about being 'self absorbed', we are all as worried as you are.

Gracie - I agree, anyone who can look after a bub and the house on their own is a champion! I need all the support I can get as I tend to be a stress head lol. Hope your DH is home soon!

Jazmum - I feel a bit bad admitting that yes my Maddie does sleep straight though and rarely has a rough night. Touch wood. Now she's gonna be up all night for me isnt she?! We havent had much teeth action yet though. Maddie has always been an excellent sleeper since 5 weeks, I bet the second child will get me.

Renee - As long as I dont go back to FT work we should be right for the baby bonus and I dont see myself going back FT for many yrs. More than half our wage goes on the mortgage too and we certainly arent rich lol. Glad to hear the night terrors havent made a second appearance. Rory is doing so well drinking from a glass and I think the baby juices are quite diluted with water anyway? I agree, as long as he is getting some fluids seeing as he isnt touching his milk.

Noni - Wow another glass drinker, thats excellent. Go the cloth nappies. I still cant see the gallery I want to check out Asha's pics!

Agnes - Sorry to hear about your crash, thats so scary.

MD - YAY going home!!!! Here I was thinking home for you is NZ but I think I'm getting confused with Arte lol.

Sherie - What are Alisters tummy pains from? Dinner? Sounds not nice.

[Trillian]

Hayley, Not sure what it is from - we cut out dinner a few days ago to see if that helped. I'm thinking maybe because he is lately having so much more milk that it is just building up over the course of the day kwim

[Isadora]

Gracie - I missed that, go Lewis at the bonds search!!!

[Isadora]

LMAO just had Maddie sitting on my lap at the computer while I typed, gave her a pen to hold and didnt realise that she drew ALL over her face!! Too cute.

Sherie - Hope Alisters tummy settles soon. I made a puree with red lentils in them but it seems to have turned Maddie into a trumpet bum!

Pregpan - That bug sounds so awful

[Trillian]

Pregpan, When Lindsay was about this age he caught a tummy bug that lasted a week (around the time of 9/11 and because I was so sleep deprived when I turned on the TV that morning I thought they were doing a movie review) and he wasn't that sick with it, but could hardly keep anything down and what he did keep down was either vomited back up or pooed out. It was exhausting for me and I was constantly washing towels etc and also very mentally drained. He lost nearly 2pounds of weight too in that week, luckily he was so big to begin with. So I totally know how you feel hun. *Hugs* for you too.

[reneenay]

MD & Pregpan - I may be in the same boat as you soon as DH has applied for a few FIFO jobs today.....well if it does happen I'll be the only one in the boat coz you guys would of had your hunny bunnys back LOL!!!!!

Hayley - Rory has been sleeping through since 5/6 weeks too, 12 hrs most nights. Do you find it really hard to cope when you do have a rough night?? I fall to bits LOL, I shouldnt laugh because I really do find it hard! I dont know how im going to cope next time around. Yep and now we have said that our buggalugs wont sleep tonight LOL!

Agnes - Im sorry to hear about your accident! You poor thing! That would of really shaken you up im sure. I hope you are okay now. How are you feeling hon??

Gracie - Good luck tomorrow. Make sure you pack lots of toys to keep L amused LOL!

I just picked up my photos from kodak, 370 of them haha! Jesus, cost me a bomb. All well, its worth it - if our computer crashed we would of lost all of his baby pics!

[Ginger]

oooohhh now i really don't want to go- hearing about those long lines interstate!
well my friend hasn't called me yet so maybe she's changed her mind about going too.

sherie- i can't believe that there were people still waiting with upset babies, no way! as soon as lewis starts crying i'm out of there. sort of fynny that you thought sep 11 was a movie review- i can totally see how that could happen. it was so unbelievable.

renee- wow 370 pics! you'll need to buy a big album lmao

hayley- lmao at pen face maddie, you can't turn your back for a minute now can you?

pregpan- ooohhhh it's bachelor night!

[Isadora]

Gracie - Yeah even when they are on your laps you have to watch them lol.

Renee - I totally fall apart when she has a bad night! I feel like a zombie
