Babies born ~ May 1st-15th 2011 #1

YAY for you! Well done on your boys for getting out so soon. You must be so relieved to have them finally at home where they belong.

River is ok most days, but I still wont risk a long trip. I think he is ok when he is asleep, but doesn't like it when he is awake, or trying to get to sleep. Caden was like that too but much later, from about 6 weeks I think. Oh well.

Gotta go, bbl

list updated for those i have details for

Hello All,
Farmgirl - I got Rivers hands and feet cast just last week . I had them done with Caden at 5 weeks too so it will be nice to compare them both and have them on my wall on display.

Kelly - you poor thing! Do you have other family support who can help out? I hear Red Cross have volunteers that come and give you a hand and a break.

MrsS - glad to hear the boys are gaining weight

Mellybelly - yeah River does that but it sounds different to his other cries. Probably having bad dreams which is a bit scary, what could be so bad? Reliving the birth?

afm - River is more settled today thank goodness. Still cant put him down though and cos of his cold he slept on me last night. I try each day to put him down esp when he is fast asleep but to no avail! Oh well i guess i cant carry him forever. i also have booked him in to the chiro. I did this with C and found he slept alot better afterwards. Last night he went absolutely mental and i just couldnt console him. then he let out this massive fart and fell limp in my arms and went to sleep! He is such a windy bub and gulps heaps of air when he feeds. I might go to the local breastfeeding group and see the LC there. I think part of the problem is my letdown and the other is he wants to feed when he has a sore tummy but fusses heaps and swallows lots of air. Thus creating more sore tummy! bleh.

sleepy vibes to you all

Dragonbub the bit of the show that upset me the most were some of the mothers comments. One who said she just ignores her babies cries until she sounds really distressed and then goes puts a dummy in and walks out.. another said she put her baby in another room because it was 'too noisy'

Me too and it was the way they were saying it, didn't sit right with me, however it is hard to tell what they really might think. I think on TV when someone is edited, some statements come across the wrong way.

Congrats on Jacob rolling over.

Jim's very strong but I haven't put him on the floor much, either there hasn't been a clear spot or I have been winding him.

I missed this show you girls are talking about... !

Oh I must be tired lol I was thinking about everything to reply, and now that I have gotten to the part of replying I have forgotten what I was going to type... dah.. lol

Someone mentioned weighing... I love getting Bree weighed to see how much she has grown, I always guess how much, and I'm usually not far off the mark.. It makes things interesting, and you can see how they are progressing. I had Bree weighed on Tuesday because she needed to be weighed before getting her prescription for losec, she weighed 6.2kg fully clothed. I am going to take her back on the 4th to check how much she weighs at 3 months exactly. I have a section in her record book to write down her weight every month. I have also been keeping a feeding chart since she was about 6 weeks old... I find it interesting to follow how much she drinks each day, when she is sleeping, nappies, I even tracked how much milk I could make from one tin of formula, worked out how much each bottle costs, how much she wastes from a full tin of formula.
Bree had a bottle at 8 last night and slept til 7am, the night before she had a bottle at 10pm and slept til 9am... I wonder if she has a bit of a cold, I was a bit snuffly myself yesterday. She isn't too bad, just a bit of a cough and a sneeze occasionally, maybe she is just going through another growth spurt? She has some days where she is awake most of the day and other days where she is asleep most of the day.
She is fitting 00 wondersuits well. I had her in a size 0 jacket this morning.
I have Bree in the lounge in her basinet during the nights. She sleeps better out there, and so does hubby lol. I still wake up as soon as she thinks about making a noise or before. This morning I woke up about 15 minutes before she started to stir.
Still waiting for her to roll, she doesn't like tummy time except for after bath time when she is getting a massage. I have tried tricking her into tummy time by rubbing her back, but she doesn't fall for that lol. She is too much of a sticky beak and gets annoyed that she can't look around when she is on her tummy.
She smiles all the time, tries to eat her hands, and dribbles all over the place, seriously she is like a dripping tap lol
Have been busy trying to pack, hope to be moving soon! The sooner we can get this done, the better.
Hope all is well.

I do ad hoc tracking of different things.

Well I think the probiotic might be working for Jim, he went from green poos back to yellow, and he seems a little less windy, so we shall see. I have lost my bottle of Infant's Friend though, so it will have to work.

We are having good morning BF's, and I manage to express a small amount some days.

I feel buggered even thinking of moving GG.

[Jellybean29]

I hope you're not moving too far away from me GG!
