Babies born ~ May 1st-15th 2010 #4

**Kass79** · May 26th, 2011, 09:28 AM

Marni - Well we already have a big family - what's one more right? I already have most baby stuff, I budget for most things, use layby, and alot of second hand shops, ebay and garage sales for things I need. I am getting older, so I want to get it over with before I am 35 - I am 32 today...lol, doesn't leave much time..for TTC and actually falling preggers...hahahaha I am an excellent budgeter as well, bargains usually fall into my lap...lol

So if the 10th June suits everyone, we shall make that the date now, I am having a tupperware party on the 11th, so I can also bring some booklets with me if you guys want....

Elijah had a bit of a full on night last night, he spewed his milk (not fresh milk) all thru his bed, and hair and face, and it was discusting

had a bath at 9pm...mind you, Cooper was on the toilet and needed his bum wiped (he still can't do that himself - altho he tries, he makes it worse)....so was a hectic time of night. He also has a bad rash from the needles last friday, he has been doing super runny poos and gives him a rash if I don't get it straight away

so it was a struggle to get the zinc cream on him too, he was not impressed because the poor bub was in so much pain

but he'll be ok.....

Elijah also has a few bottles a day - I'm not too worried about how much milk he drinks, he will drink about3 bottle maybe 4 sometimes, but as long as they are eating their food and having plenty of water - especially in the cold months, I'm sure they'll be fine.

Milk - Zen is still breastfed and he has milk in his sipper cup plus he gets cheese and yoghurt each day, i figure that should be enough calcium.

Meeting - will do my best to make the 10th...stupid work overpaid me and i used it to pay out the last of our mortgage, now they want it back lmao - and i need to find the money to pay them

seems unfair that I should...well, i guess it is fair but i dont like it.

SLeepy - poor E, hope he is more settled today. Zen had a shocker night also - his other molar is through so its all fun and games here

fingers crossed you get plenty of that cream on his bum and fix it up!

**Marnikat** · May 27th, 2011, 08:13 AM

Tina - That really sucks!! You should be able to set it up to pay them back when you can! Maybe once your tax is back? It isn't fair cause you didn't make the mistake. I hope Zens tooth is through soon

Sleepy - I hope you had a great birthday adn E had a better night.

We had another shocker here, maybe Phoebe has teeth coming too. She still only has the 6 teeth she got when she was 8 months. I guess she is due for more! I think I have to start again with the night weaning though lol

Oh, and the 10th suits me

**TinaR** · May 27th, 2011, 11:04 AM

i am doing a payment schedule which I know they wont like - it will take me 5 years to pay back lmao...i've offered them $10 week. doesnt sound like much but I am on a really strict budget so it makes a difference. nope - not giving them my tax - thats my fun money

a girls gotta have something to look forward to!

I'm going with teething Marni - Zen has been realy bad the last two nights also. it must be so horrible for them

**traylee01** · May 27th, 2011, 11:27 AM

mmm so im trying to think of places to camp these holidays for a few days, there is a place called paradise dam, its $7 adult and $4 child for 5 to 12 i think, and under 5 is free, or i was thinking tin can bay, or rainbow beach or inskip point, they are all cheap to, beach camping, was thinking of taking our catamaran so can do some sailing round there and have a look.
anyone else been campin in those areas or near them
what is everone else doin holidays

**traylee01** · May 27th, 2011, 11:52 AM

mmm or i can hire a rental holiday one, they seem cheap enough if u have some extra people to chip in lol, can get places for like $500 a week, suitable up to 7 to 9 people

anyone wanna come holidaying lol

**JLeigh29** · May 27th, 2011, 11:53 AM

Tin Can, Rainbow and Inskip are all nice places. I know Inskip gets really busy over Christmas (like shoulder to shoulder with the next tent and a 15 minute line up for the portaloos) but not sure about other times. I really don't like camping, and beach camping I like even less, but they are all lovely areas so if you're into that kind of stuff, go for it. Not sure about places for a catamaran though...

What about Burrum Heads? Our family used to hire a house up there when we were kids.

**traylee01** · May 28th, 2011, 09:39 AM

jleigh, yea burrum heads is just up road for us, we live in hervey bay lol, but yea i am not huge fan of camping either, when i was a kid i liked it, so i want hayley and scarlet to get holidays on the cheap to like camping is, we are over goin down coast to see family as its just a boring down there, im lucky i met tina down there or i would have been more bored,

**TinaR** · May 28th, 2011, 09:49 AM

we are over goin down coast to see family as its just a boring down there, im lucky i met tina down there or i would have been more bored,

& it was SO good to catch up - except for those couple of snot monster kids who made ours sick

Can't wait for the 10th to have the big catch up of the SE QLD girls!!
well, Zen has shown he can walk, he basically chooses not to. its not a big deal, just colder for him being so much on the floor lol

**Marnikat** · May 28th, 2011, 10:16 AM

Tina - I know walking is exciting but take it from me, don't let him!!! lol It is just so much more work for you.

Traylee - I can't help you with camping sorry, I am so not an outdoors girl lol

Jleigh - Hi!

Well Phoebe is well but I am getting sick. I hate cold weather!! I am another looking forward to the meet up

Also I went back to no feeding overnight last night, three and a half hours we were up for with a crying child, well alternating between whinging, screaming and crying. I really hope tonight is better!
Hope everyone has a great weekend. It is nice and sunny here

**~Phoenix~** · May 28th, 2011, 12:07 PM

Hi everyone

Did a really big post and lost the whole lot

......will be back later to try again

Marni - Glad to hear P is all better!

**Kass79** · May 28th, 2011, 07:42 PM

Marni - I hope you have a better night sleep tonight..I feel for you, I really do, pretty sure we remeber those nights, and Elijah has been pretty good, apart from being cold coz he kicks the blankets off, he hates the grow bag, coz he can't move in it as well, so I lose either way...

Well glad we moved the date, because I am going to Gladstone this weekend, my sister really needs me, I am driving up on Friday, and coming home on Monday, she is struggling, finding it hard with 5 kids, and a hubby, so I am going up to help out and help organize things for her. Be a councillor too, he and her DP are finding it hard to communicate lately, so sometimes a bit of outside input can make a difference, I hope..lol I'm sure they'll be ok tho.

i am looking forward to the SE QLD meet too.....was exciting meeting Tina - I'm sure it'll be exciting meeting the rest of you lovely ladies

**TinaR** · May 30th, 2011, 01:14 PM

OMG! have been asked to quote on photgraphing a wedding in Dec! One part of me would LOVE to do it...the other is terrified!

Cant wait till the 18th when Sleepy comes over and I use her for a shoot...protrait and my entry in the arts festival

And YAY for the 10th when we all meet up

**Kass79** · May 30th, 2011, 02:04 PM

Tina - I am also looking forward to the 18th

and the 10th too..am really looking forward to the meet

. Thats awesome news about the quote to Tina

exciting stuff....

Elijah started waving yesterday

was so cute lol

And also DH said we can deffinately start trying for another bub in January next year

so thats good news

**~Phoenix~** · June 6th, 2011, 12:30 PM

Sleepy - we'll also be trying for another one sometime next year, if you think your getting old spare a thought for me I'm the grandma of the group at 35

so we might be belly buddies again....though think I want to wait until about March/April to start trying.

Weaning - hmmmmm so how do you do it, think I'm ready to drop her morning nap feed, not sure how she will take the news. I was talking to DH the other day about when she'll need to give them up and he reckons another 6 months

Admittedly I'm not ready to stop just yet, I enjoy my cuddles times before bed with her and she loves them lol

We are still not walking, well she will let go and take a couple of steps so know it's not too far away at least DH has been home to see her first few wobbly ones.

A big hello to everyone, hope you are all doing well and have fun on Friday

**Marnikat** · June 6th, 2011, 03:14 PM

Phoenix - We are down to 2 feeds a day. I would like to wean well about 6 months ago, lol! But Phoebe doesn't like that idea. I just cut out the day feeds and distracted her when she wanted one. Food and water. I offer milk but she wont drink it. And yay on the steps!!! She will be walking before you know it

Friday - Are Brisbane ladies still happy to meet? What time was it again?
