Sherie, I hope A's appetite improves and he's all better. E's still off her food and apparently off boobie tonight which is a bit of a worry!
Thanks for asking, I get to speak to DH most days which is nice but also a bit tricky depending on when he can ring. However the convos aren't often very deep as there is always someone else in the room at the same time at his end. He's having a really hard time because he's missing E so much, he feels really bad that he's missing 3 mths where she will grow and change so much. They have a bit of a chat to each other on the speaker phone every few days but TBH I think that just makes it harder for him.
Rainy, good luck, i hope the MCHN is worth her weight in gold! I haven't weighed E since we left QE2 either, feeling bad about it because her weight bottomed out and I really should follow up on it. Oh that fire sounds sooooo nice. My lecky blanket stopped working the other night and i was in full panic mode (how will I get thru the night in my vast cold empty bed LOL??) but then it was just the plug had come out a bit. Sorry the doggy is depressed. My Bosty loves the cold weather cos he's such an excellent lap warmer and his services are in demand. LOL Plus he gets to wear his very smart little coat .
Ange oh I am jealous of your snow! We'd been promised a freezing day with sleet and possibly snow but it was a complete lie. It was colder and wetter yesterday!! I turned out ok tho cos we made it out to the markets today (ethiopian for lunch, YUM) but stayed home in the warm all day yesterday.
Hello everyone! What are we chatting about today? Is anyones bub walking yet? DD holds onto the furniture and walks if she has a good reason to, but that's all so far :P Are our bubs all eating family foods now?
hey everyone
well big news here Asha slept through the whole night IN HER COT!!!!! i kept checking her because i thought something was wrong with her lol hoping this is a sign of things to come!! we actually introduced a pillow to her cot a few days ago because she is always laying on ours when we co sleep she makes her way up to the pillows and it seems shes much more comfy now.. i figured since her cot is litterally touching our bed it would be a good time to try using one...
mmmm what else i just gave asha a little corner of my peanut butter toast so will be watching her closely! is it true they usually have a reaction the second time they have it tho? so i will need to give it to her again to know?
we went to a fancy dress party on the sat.. have pics on my facebook of the 3 of us if your interested
ummmm what else lol i havnt been on in a few days so there must be more to chat about haha...
lol theres always that dps been saying for a few weeks hed like to have another baby and when i turned around and said ok i think id like to have another one now too he told me hed changed his mind!!! golly gosh menplay such head games!
apart from that everything is going well.. still waiting for asha to take some steps on her own, dont think its too far off now. that and i am trying to plan her party which is getting closer and closer and ive done well not much lol...
babysocks - theres a few bubs walking in the thread.. Asha is around the same stage your discribing she waslks along the furnature and sometimes can let go and stand alone but thats about it.. family foods.. Asha eats just about anything, she dosnt always have the same thing as we do for dinner tho just because she eats so much earlier than we do just depends.. shes still eating a fair bit of baby foods tho like the custards and she eats alot of puree fruit (i give her the goulburn valley ones)
md - hows e going is she back on her food and boobie now?
rain - hope the mchn is really good!!
sherie - glad A is fine hope the specialist lets you have chocolate again too!!
ange - i used to go skiining when i was younger now uve made me wanna go hahaha bit hard with an almost 11mth old lol! how pretty watching the snow falling.. its so cold here though i am glad its not snowing!
arte - hopee W has a nice long day sleep so u can have a nap!!
Hi babysocks, how is everything going with you and A? I have a walker, he is almost running now but gets the speed wobbles lol. He eats family meals with us all the time now, I sometimes give him a few extra finger foods but mostly he just has what we are having.
Rainy, I really hope the new MCHN has some good advice for you. Last night W slept from 8pm-8am with only wake ups at 10.30pm and 6am. If someone had told me that 3 weeks ago I would not have beleived it. I couldn't see an end to the 6ish wake ups every night and now they are the exception rather than the norm. I really hope Lewis starts sleeping better for you. One thing I have thought of that may or may not be helping is that for the past few weeks we have been giving him Weleda teething powder every night. Before I was only giving it to him when I thought he was teething. I missed a night a couple of nights ago and he woke up every hour again. Not sure if it is coincidence or not. The other thing I wanted to tell you is that we aren't alone. I was talking to some girls at W's music group and they have/had the exact same problem. They also fed to sleep and then ended up with the hourly wake ups. It is very common but no one talks about it.
MD, good to hear you still get to talk to DH even if it is with someone in the room. Our ex neighbour that came from South Africa was here for 2 months before his wife and daughter and missed her first birthday and first steps etc and was very upset about it. He had tears streaming down his face talking about them one day. I didn't know what to do lol
Trill, bummer about having to skip chocolate! Hope A is all better. Must be nice to have a bit of almost kid free time.
Pregpan, I saw in another thread there has been a bit of progress on the crawling front?
No snow here now, the past few days have been clear and lovely. We went for a picnic yesterday. It is still quite chilly but the sun is trying to shine. I feel spring coming. I am starting to regret teaching W about the jacket, now he keeps grabbing it and giving it to me so he can go outside and I feel like a massive meany when we don't go out.
W is adorable, he keeps standing in front of the toybox/washing basket and frantically throwing stuff over his shoulders until he finds something that catches his eye - it is like a cartoon lol
I forgot to tell you the other day, a lady from W's music group had a baby in the car last week lol. Her contractions started 1 minute apart and by the time they were 10 minutes down the road the baby was coming out!
good morning everyone
sherie glad that A is ok and also that your skin is getting better... i was telling DH some of Aand your other kid's antics last night, he was loving it - i was telling him how with each bubba we will get more relaxed etc etc and how much i learn from you and your attitude.
MD that must be hard for DH to miss out and to really feel it, these 3 months a lot happens too hey... how long has hebeen gone for now (1 month?) how does DD1 handle it all?
Rainy - soooo cute L crawling over to look at the snow. did you let him touch it at all?
Ange I am loving the olympics!
Babysocks - hi!!! There are a few babies in here walking, lots at the stage of your DD and all except N are crawling!!!! wrt foods - my N ets pretty mich everything now, just depends on textures but he tries it all... he does not eat the sae as us each day but thats more bc of timing than anything else - ie on weekend he does have the same bfast and lunch usually...
afm nothing too exciting really - have been in a bit of a mood all weekend, think the juggling is getting to me and the stress... so need a holiday... not long to go now! N is ok, the conjunc flared up again but seems to be under control and he had a bad night last night, i think maybe he is getting more teeth (tho i cant see anything). off to melbs tomorrow until sun - DH is looking after N wed-fri... (geez i cant wait for all his fam to tell me what a hero he is for that - sorry see themood i am in)
better go, heaps of work today
bbl
ETA Noni and Arte we were posting at same time. WOO HOO to both of you regarding the sleeps!!! Arte - yep we are making progress - he is moving arounda lot kind of rolling and wiggling along the floor - still a long way off though!!

MD - I know what you mean about changes in 3 months. That's how long my parents are away for and she wasn't even crawling when they left and she's almost walking now!
K fell over this morning and knocked her teeth. Blood all over her top and a fair bit on me too. Her gum was bleeding between her top front teeth. They don't look chipped or anything so I suppose I just leave it and see how she goes. I don't think there is anything a dentist or doctor could do. She fell asleep fine for her nap.
Arte - wow, W is really getting better at his sleep isn't he? That was a quick labour - the car wouldn't have even warmed up!
Baby socks - DD is eating most of the family foods, it's really just if we have something spicy or nutty that she doesn't eat it.
Pregpan - we gave your salmon balls another go yesterday and she loved them this time.
Noni - that is great that A slept in her cot all night.
Rainy - good luck at you MCHN appt today. Hope she has some good ideas.
Trill - glad that A is better and your skin as well.
Cally, Alister has done that a few times now and it worries us more than it does them. If the teeth look fine and can't be wobbled etc, then it's fine. It's hard to get a good look at it though when they hurt their mouth.
Pregpan, awww thanks hun It's been a long time since you've been away. You have to have another holiday so I can live vicariously through you again
Arte, sounds like Will has really turned a corner with his sleep. LOL at him getting the speed wobbles.
Noni, *YAY* for Asha's great sleep! Peanut allergies may not present for months after the first exposure. When I had Lindsay he was having peanut butter sandwiches for lunch at 12mths and I didn't even think about it, but I *know* a lot more now kwim? She will probably be fine with it. Alister has had a pillow for months now and it made a difference to him too.
Hi Babysocks. Alister has been walking for nearly 6wks now. Alister's not eating a lot of family foods as we are still having issues with sleep from some foods, so we are just taking it slowly. I haven't had a fussy eater yet LOL so I'm not concerned at this point.
G, I haven't had A weighed by our MCHN in ages either! I hope the new one is better. I think I'll book Alister in when he's 12mths.
Marydean, Awww, poor DH. I can imagine how hard it must be for him I nearly hyperventilated when I read that your lekkie blanket wasn't working! I would die without mine ATM LOL - it is sooo cold here and when DH is on nights I put his side on too because it's too cold still otherwise.
AFM - The prodigal Brass Monkey has returned LMAO. I think we are having the coldest weather this year ATM. I have a heap of washing to do, but I can only do the essentials and put it in the dryer because it is just coming over with misty rain every now and then and nothing will dry.
I have to go to school assembly today too and the place they hold it is sooo cold in winter. I will have to really rug up LOL.
Cally, if the teeth are moving at all, take her in to see a dentist. Gosh their mouths bleed a lot, don't they, it always looks like so much more blood than anywhere else. Always a very spectacular injury LOL. I hope she's feeling ok when she wakes up, might be a bit puffy around the mouth?
BBL for personals everyone, just having a quick read when I'm supposed to be packing up the care parcel!
Cally - OUCH poor Katie!!! Glad she is sleeping ok, i reckonthey let you know if something really hurts.... must have been scary for you!
Sherie - we are off to Bali at the end of the month - i cant wait. it is only a week though, so i will prob unwind just in time to wind up again. am looking for where to go for xmas/ny this year - we need a good break. i am thinking maybe sth coast for a week and then melbourne for a week or so...
MD - what's going in the care pack?
noni e - walking along while holding furnature is a sign of imminent walking! Could be any day now.
artechim - Aurelia's doing well! She's going to bed really late though, that's the only thing. Tonight she went down around 10pm. Last night she woke up in the middle of the night for a party and didn't go back down until the wee hours of the morn! That's so amazing about the lady's labour. I know someone who had a 10 minute labour with her son in the bath . . . and she didn't even know she was pregnant!
pregpan - hope you're feeling better today! Don't worry about bubs not crawling, some never crawl at all. My stepdad never crawled, his mother tells me, but he's whip smart.
Cally - I haven't introduced nuts to DDs diet either. I don't know when I should? I thought 2+ years but really i have no idea!
Trillian - WOW early walker!
My mum (i'm living with my folks atm) keeps leaving the cats bowls on the floor and Aurelia keeps eating the biscuits! It's driving me bananas! On a good note though, Aurelia has started standing up without grabbing onto something first. Seriously, she's gonna walk any day now i'm sure of it!
Babysocks, sounds like she is really close to walking! W didn't figure out standing without pulling up until he had already been walking for a few weeks.
Rainy, I am going to be asking you a million question after you have been to the sleep place. When L is having a nipple in mouth night, do you put your finger in to break the suction first or pull the nipple straight out? I find W wakes up sometimes if I just yank it out.
Clare, lol you plug a wireless router into the internet hole in the wall (I am assuming you have cable or adsl?). Then you set up your computer to recieve a wireless signal from the router so you can access your internet anywhere in the house wirelessly.
Fianne, good to see you back. Very cute pics! We go to playcenter from 9-12 tuesdays and thursdays and a music group on wednesday mornings for an hour, it fills in my week quite nicely.
hey everyone
well we had another all nighter in the cot last night!!! looks like we are turning a corner FINALLY!!!
arte - i really wanna do something like music group or playcentre with Asha i think she is bored.. with no caror anything tho that makes it hard..
babysocks - yeah i am just waiting for her to let go and walk somewhere lol shes still a bit wobly and scared to let go tho so not quite ready..
fianne - wtg two posts in one day! congrats on the walking too
sherie - what is roseola? hope A is ok!! how is he doing now?
rain - glad the mchn was so helpful! good you only have to wait a few weeks instead of 5 for the sleep school too
cassius - i think i will feel better when i get used to it.. atm i am waking up freaking out shes not ok lol coz i am not used to her sleeping for so long without stirring lol..
md - what a cute idea with the pillow case! shame he didnt cry tho (assuming that was ur aim?)
lol gotta go ashas been quiet for a while and i just glanced over and she is playing in a tub of nappy cream eeeeek its always dangerous when they are quiet!!
.
I nearly hyperventilated when I read that your lekkie blanket wasn't working! I would die without mine ATM LOL - it is sooo cold here and when DH is on nights I put his side on too because it's too cold still otherwise.
