nic sorry you guys are having such a bad run with health, its exhausting having sick kids
buffy glad your little poppet is recovering from her needles
elocin sounds like C had a great night, hope he does the same again tonight
nickers- what a horrible run you've had :( hope this is the last thing for a lonnnng time.
sararose - thank you for creating the group :)
buffy - glad to hear miss w is better today. watch out for those post rotavirus immunisation poosplosions...triple wash your hands & use sanitiser - i only say this because i wasnt careful enough with ds & ended up with a dose of gastro :o
peanutter - hope you're healing & you're fit as a fiddle for work on monday.
hi to everyone else!
afm, things are good. earlier in the week ds had some hideous tantrums that left me feeling like a crap mum but he's been better in the last day or so. i was beginning to wonder if there was a bigger issue than just being an almost 3 yr old. but miss k had a mchn appt yesterday & my awesome mchn told me that she thinks it all seems like 'normal' behaviour & that it's just his personality. on the other hand, things with miss k are pretty cruisy! she's now 5.28kg & had put 550g in the last 2 weeks & has gone into 000s this week.

Hi everyone! So sorry I've been MIA the last few days. I have been reading, but things have been crazy here and I just haven't had a chance to post. Sloane I hear you on feeling like a crap mum, I've been feeling a bit the same in regard to DS1 and my parenting. I actually spat the dummy today and had a little tantrum myself, complete with jumping up and down 3 year old style. I almost started a thread to see if others feel like they have become a worse parent after having their second child. But, instead I just keep reminding myself that this too will pass (hopefully soon).
Cooper's been going pretty well the last few days. I've started giving him Gripe Water which has made a huge difference with the wind and we went back to the Osteo again on Wed too. But I think I over did the caffeine today (both boys were up a couple of times last night so nobody got much sleep) because he's barely slept today. That combined with some not so likeable behaviour from DS1 and no nap either made for a pretty cruddy day.
Anyway, enough of the pity post. I hope everyone else is doing well and looking forward to a good weekend.
urghh we have now all woken up with sore throats, and I have AF! Not fair breastfeeding full time and this is the second time since having H, seems to be back to a regular cycle boo!
sorry jsut needed a rant
I hope the tantrums are on their way out girls. I think my kids feralness may have been partly due to them getting sick, now I feel guilty about having so little patience with them :(
Miss E how was Cooper after the Osteo appt?
I took ryker to my chiro yesterday and he was the most calm he has ever been! his usual grumpy time he was a melon little lemon!! he did want lost of cuddles but instead of screaming the house down even while we try to sooth him he was just chillin.....i am holding him off the zantac for a few days after his chiro treatment just to see if it has made a difference we know it was from chiro and not meds.
Sarah- AF oh that sucks, after ds2 i think i got them at about 3months and even though i wasnt bf i was pumping around the clock. over the last week i have had af type pains but no af as yet, wouldnt be surprised if she shows up any day though.
Ryker did his first shop with me thismorning while dh and the boys went to soccer. he slept most of the time :)
ive been busy busy trying to get everything done today so i dont have to do as much tomorrow and i am buggered......still got more stuff to do though grrrr
We went and got our shots on Wed, Sam was pretty good throughout the injections and only cried while being jabbed (and slept through the rota virus one). Took her to the docs for the 6 week checkup on Thurs and he said she is looking healthy. After getting her home it was constant crying and screaming, I think the affects of the vaccines were taking effect.
DH has come down with a cold (it doesn't seem to have manifested into manflu yet). Do you try and keep your little ones away from sick family members? So far it looks like we have avoided it, and as long as we keep our sleeps up we should keep it at bay.
For mother's day I am hoping to get my dog to dog obedience as I haven't gone since Sam was born
Hi girls, sorry havent been on, A has been an absolute nightmare of a child the past few days, absolutely REFUSING to sleep at all unless held, very very draining let me tell you!
Just wanted to wish all the new mumma's a very very happy first mothers day, and for us mums who've had mothers day before, i hope you have a great day with all your beautiful babes, hope we all get spoilt! im excited DD1 had her first ever mothers day stall this week, keen to see hwat she picked out for me :)
Sleepy vibes to all the bubbas
Happy mothers day :loveshower:
Happy mothers day everyone! I hope you've all had lovely, loved up days.
Nickers, we're really seeing a huge improvement from the Osteo. He slept for hours after his treatment on Wed and has definately been a lot more settled since. It was actually quite amazing to watch the treatment this time. Cooper's hips tend to lean a little to the right when he's lying on his back (I never would've notice if she hadn't of pointed it out). This time he slept through the entire treatment, every now and then he would stretch and reposition himself while she was treating him. Over the 15 minutes or so that she was working on his sacrum I saw his body respond to the treatment as he went from being curved to the right to lying perfectly straight - it was actually quite amazing to watch. I really hope Ryker gets results from his treatment. My only advice would be to allow a couple of treatments for him to start getting results. After Cooper's first treatment he was like a different baby for a couple of days, but then regressed back a little. After this second treatment the response seems to be even better and we haven't had any regression.
Zilly, how is Sam doing now after her vaccinations? I really hope things have settled down for her (and you). Is your DH any better or has it become full blown man flu yet? Personally, we don't bother quarantining sick family members, but we are extra vigilant with hygeine (and hand sanitiser). But, people outside of the family unit are different story.
Sara, big :hug: for you. Having AF back so early would truly suck! How are the girls doing? Any better yet?
zilly- i think your dh would be different to sick kids, he wouldnt acidently sneeze or cough on her or wipe his nose with his hand and touch her with it. when my big boys have been sick i have been extra vigilent with hygene, sanitser is all around the house and i didnt let them have cuddles with ryker, but they were still in the same vicinity as him.
Happy mothers day lovely mummies! i had a lovely day, dh fed Ryker at the 630am feed which allowed me to express, ds1 was already up and in with us and hanging for ds2 to wake up. i got a lovely wallet and slippers (which i bought myself lol) and ds1 got a nice coffee mug (actually is really nice!) and key ring from the mothers day stall. the best pressies were the kisses and cuddles and little drawings they did :)
then i got brekky in bed, then my and dh immediate family came over for lunch. I almost felt like i didnt own a baby as the 4 aunties were all clucking over him and 2 nannys. after lunch the kids and males went off to the footy and wow the house was so quiet! thats when i really got to sit down and relax and chat.
Ryker was an angel baby all day but when the fam left after coming back from the footy it was 6pm and he didnt take long to put his grumpy pants on. he is wriggling around in his bassinett now trying to go to sleep, sure i'll be in there again any moment.
anyway i hope you all had a lovely day with your miracles and families
Hi sweet ladies, hope you had a brilliant Mother's Day.
Apart from one glorious five-hour sleep, Willow has been feeding every 30-90 minutes for the past 48 hours. She also goes from happy princess to screaming seagull (gah...gah...raaaaaaaaaaaaa!) in five seconds flat. I'm exhausted.
Can only assume it's a growth spurt...? Please god, let it end soon. She's like a little succubus, draining the life out of me!
lol 6 weeks, yep you can put money on it that its a growth spurt hun! its very very draining but should only last a few more days. Big love xxx
AFM, WHY cant my baby be as good as she is in the mornings at night time?? every morning she sleeps until its time to go to school, then we get home, change her bum and have a chat and play, then she has her breaky, gets wrapped up, put her in her bassinet and she toddles on off to sleep for a few hrs, everyday its the same, but come night time she's this clingy, whingy little monster that will eventually go to sleep only to be awake 20 mins later!!! GAH, sorry tired and emotional today.
she seems to know that being wrapped means sleepy time now which is good and she's learnt if she not hungry to refuse the breast, we we're having major issues with her over stuffing herself and then spending the next few hrs throwing up and getting annoyed. i stilloffer it to her for comfort when she's crying even if i know shes not hungry, but now she'll say no to it.
Not much on today, its freezing, im tired and the man is home playing shoot em up games on the play station, joy!
morning ladies, hope everyone had a great mothers day
skybie hope you get a rest today with while your DF is home, miss A sounds liek H in the evenings, she seems to sleep for 10 mins feed, whinge and do it again from about 6 until bedtime at 8.30, Im just glad its earlier in the evening rather than throught he night. I hope you are loooking after yourself, it can be so frustrating
nickers sounds like a lovely mothers day, I hope Ryker settled without too much fuss in the end
buffy sounds like a growth spurt, hope she settles back to her normal routine for you soon
zilly Im keeping my DD's from getting too close to H to an extent as they have issues putting fingers up their noses at the moment (like most kids their age) and I dont want them giving H their cold germs, but DH and I are both crook but both looking after her, hopefully DH knows better than to pick his nose! (or at least he might wash his hands before holding H lol)
We had a busy but nice mothers day. I woke up to my first present of the day from Helena which was a number three that went out the nappy, through her PJ's, through her sleeping bag and onto my quilt cover so I had to clean her and strip the bed at 7 am but I did get my DH to remake it for me with clean sheets :) then tthe girls made me toast and OJ which I got to have in bed, I got a charm for my pandora bracelet from each girl H gave me a the letter H :) and a new pair of slipeprs, the girls had to tell me what was in each pressie before I had a chance to open it lol. Had BBQ lunch at mums then the extended family popped in to her place in the arvo and we went to the IL's for a light dinner.
Well we all have colds and I have absolutely no voice which will be testing today with the two bigger girls, DD1 is home from school as she has a croupy cough not terrible but didnt want to send her to school sounding like a walrus and it means we dont have to go out in the cold in the morning. Fx Helena is still well, although sleeping a bit more than normal this morning but Im not going to wake her incase she needs the extra sleep to fight off any bugsMy cousin is visitng this arvo as she hasnt got to meet H yet I warned her about our bugs but she said she is so desperate to see H she would almost risk the plague, hopefully she will keep the big girls entertained for a bit too
Buffy, yep sounds like a growth spurt. It will pass... I know that doesn't really help at the moment, but it will. Big hugs hon.
Nic, sounds like you had a fabulous day with your boys and the fam!
SaraRose, I hope your day isn't too challenging and I hope your colds clear up soon :hug:
Miss E, glad to hear the oesteo magic is working with Cooper!
Skybie, is A coming up to a WW? I hope she settles for you today and you get some rest x
I hope everyone had a fabulous day yesterday.
C isn't well this morning, he's either been asleep or crying since DH left for work at 7am... Snotty nose, bit warm, he is really fussy on the boob and doesn't seem to be drinking much. He just doesn't seem himself, barely any smiling or chatting. He seems happy just to lie on me and stare into space. We must have worn him out over the weekend, poor love.
After a couple of awesome nights, we've made up for it with some shockers... Up 3-4 times between midnight & 6am. C and I have been up for the day at 3.30am the last 2 mornings so I'm freakin exhausted.
I slept for a bit yesterday and DH tried to give C some EBM, but he wouldn't take the bottle so my nap was cut short. Looks like I can try and sell my pump!!
Catching up with some friends tomorrow and Wed & ABA on Thurs. My bestie is having her bub on Friday... I wish I didn't live so far away! I thought about driving down next week, but I don't want to do 4 hours by myself with C. Will have to wait til July to get some newborn cuddles!!
Nic - gah up since 330am thats rough. i hope you have a nice catch up with friends but dont fall asleep on them ok!!
Skye - ive resided to the fact that no matter what i do or try Ryker is a grumble bum in the evenings. i know i wont get anything else done, he wont be getting put down and he will be screaming for most of the time,.... its so frustrting but i dont know what else to do, and like sarah im thankful its not in the middle of the night.
Sarah - what a nice pesent helena gave u with a poosplosion, showing the love!!
i went to a friends place today (who also has 3 boys),got rykers pead check up tomorrow and another gf is coming over for a catch up on wednesday.
Skye and Nic, sounds like we all have cranky bubs in the evening.
Skye, how was A last night?
Nic, hope the paed check goes well.
Sara, sounds like you had a lovely Mother's Day - poop and all! Great pressies, the charms must be gorgeous. I scored big time too, a beautiful navy coat for winter and some vintage jewellery.
Elocin, how's Mr C feeling? Any better? And did you manage to get more sleep last night? I could have written your FB status about when Dad comes home - so true!
Morning to the other ladies.
AFM: first day solo yesterday and the feeding-no-sleep frenzy continued. Had our paed check, all fine ('normal female infant - lol). She has an umbilical hernia which should go away on its own, and he confirmed her behavior is likely a growth spurt (she put on over 100g since Thurs!). Arvo was hideous, she fought every nap and as soon as I put her down she was wide awake, so got more and more tired. When she gets like that it's like she's afraid to go down and will be so close and then squirm and jolt and get really upset. It's so frustrating for both of us. Anyone else's bub do this? DH got home while we were napping and cooked dinner, bless his cotton socks.
Thats exactly what addison does buffy! Last night she went down easier but was really unsettled feom about 4 an
