Sorry to hear about Isla. I can't believe everyone told you it was nothing! Good on you for listening to your mummy instincts and getting it checked. Hopefully the brace works quickly and doesn't bother her. If you need to vent about stuff, vent away! I'm sure none of us are having things go perfectly - I'm having a tired day because Annabelle was up every two hours last night. Except she forgot to wake up at 3:30 and kept going til 5 lol.
Are anyone elses boobs still getting bigger? I've got that horrible thing going where they're coming out the top so I've got four boobs lol. Not a good look! I don't know if maybe because Annabelle's demanding/taking more, I'm making more? Either way I reckon I've gotta go get properly fitted, it's getting uncomfortable.
In other news, Annabelle is rolling! She's finally figured out how to get her arm out of the way and get all the way over. She looks so proud of herself when she does it She seems so keen to just keep going on to the next stage though, the rolling doesn't usually get her exactly where she wanted to be, so she pulls on the mat and kicks her legs trying to go forward lol. Usually she ends up spinning around, and she's getting a little frustrated. I think she'll finally be happy when she can crawl, but I'm hoping she doesn't start that too early!
PZ - sorry to hear that Isla have to have a brace. But well done you on noticing and persisting till you got heard! She will thank you for that when she is older.
Kaytee - wow sounds like you do need a new bra! I'm not able to breastfeed, so I don't have that problem, but sounds like a pretty good one to have!
DS2 has rolled twice, both times from his back to his tummy, but it has been a fluke more than anything.
We tried solids - DS2 was super keen and got the idea very quickly. He was opening his mouth really wide and pulling the spoon in! But I don't think the pumpkin agreed with his stomach as we had two very cranky days after that one meal. That was about 5 days ago and I'm going to try pear today I think.
For the bottle feeding mums out there, what bottles are you using and why did you choose them? DS2 gets terrible wind still and spits up a lot and I'm thinking of trying him with a new bottle type. Currently using avent as we were giving some when DS1 was little and needed to be formula fed.
kaytee - i just do home pilates, cant see the reasoning for a gym at their prices. glad the hammock worked and that belley is doing well.
william does raspberries too, showering everything in spit, and the cutest noises ever.
yeh i get a lot of extra top boob in the morning, but after william feeds a few times they are back to normal, so i just deal with it. william still hasnt managed back to front rolling yet, only onto side but can do front to back. coz he can get right up when on his belly so that he has weight on his hands. he kicks around so that he either spins around like a clock face or moves downwards. he is continually getting frustrated at not being able to move around, so i think he will be happier when he can. but then i will have to run after him continuously.
bloom - william tends to sleep for around an hour at a time in the day, occassionally 45mins then also 1.5hours. with 3-4 naps during day.
mm - sorry to hear that hamish isnt tolerating the lactose, hope he gets over it soon so you can enjoy your cuppas again.
pz - sorry to hear about your dd hip dysplasia, but glad you went with your gut and kept on at them about it. so now you can get it fixed earlier rather than later. good luck with the brace.
afm - started trying william on food, but he tends to gag a lot and then swallow. so at least he has the hang of getting food to back of mouth just not tolerating the different texture yet. but always trying to grab stuff off of us to eat and drink, especially loves cups and cans. so i will keep trying him on little bits of rice cereal to see how he goes, and after he has already had a bf.
i had two orientation days last week, so dh stayed home with ds. and the first day he was really good, drank ebm out of sippy cup and then came into hospital at lunch time to have top up of bm. then went home and had a feed again when i got home. next day was only half day, but he did really well and didnt drink ebm but fed when i got home. it was good to leave him with dh so that i now know i can leave him with someone else and he will be fine, even if i miss him heaps.
I feel sorry for you ladies who must go back to work- however, many women find it makes you a better mummy and wife and person- to have life outside of the home and to be able to retain some sense of self that can be lost when you spend all your time with your child/ren at home.
Sophie got an eye infection yesterday so this morning we took he to the hospital. The dr flushed out her tear ducts and has given us some drops for her. Flushing out the tear ducts was awful but it seems to have made a difference already.
Looking forward to the 6mth check- Im dying to get her weighed and measured. She feels so heavy.
Today when I made her lunch she grabbed the spoon out of my hand and laughed, she was so happy when I gave her a rusk to munch- doing it herself, but she wasnt really sure about the texture and the faces she was pulling were priceless
The boys are back at kindy today, it feels very empty at home after having a full house for the last few weeks, but its good for them to be there.
I have been soooo completely slack! I'm sorry everyone and thanks Kaytee for bumping this!
DS2 is going well - sitting nicely but not yet crawling. He is super big - well into size 0 and grown out of some small size 0's already! Particularly as we cloth nappy. We've had terrible trouble with the food - he LOVES it but has had an allergic reaction to the dozen or so things we tried and it makes him really cranky/in pain with rashes and swelling of his eyes and mucous in poos. So off to the pediatrician on Wednesday to see what to do. He is completely happy on just milk- so hopefully we can keep doing that for another few months.
What is everyone else up to?
I must remember to take DS2 in for his 6 month shots soon!
We're going really well. DS2 is sitting and trying to crawl. It's pretty cute. We moved him into his room last night. Stayed in there till 1am and then I was sick and couldn't be bothered trying to re-settle him so just bought him back to bed with us. Hopefully we'll do slightly better tonight Food is not a huge priority. DS can take it or leave it.
