Fuzzy - I knw how that is, but I have a cold lately, so have more time ( couped up at home) so have been on here a bit more.
Belfie - hugs for DH he's just having a rough time of it huh?
Vix - yay for 9 months. I was saying yesterday - 22nd June - that Hannah was as old as a pregnancy! Right now my darling girl is laughing as she licks the rug she is sitting on. ( I typed this bit last - got to run now)
Pretz - I hear you - HB is cutting 3 teeth at the mo, and has been crying lots and really restless... but so far so good she hasn't caught my cold.... yet. FX.
I don't think we have a list in the thread - I have one someone I think, or Buzzie used to do them up, I will see if I can find one from our belly buddies days.
About being low on iron? Are you cold too? - I used to get so cold and shiver but wasn't sick with the flu. Also try iron rich foods - obviously meat and non meat things like - almonds, apricots, hommous, avocado, figs, miso soup, prunes, potato with skin, oatmeal, sesame seeds, peas in pod, soyabeans. I lost a lot of blood during one of my labours and was anaemic afterwards. I went to the Dr and was taking fefol ( iron and folate I think) and the accupuncturist also spoke to me about diet. But also increase your intake of water and fibre - iron makes you constipated and also turns your stool black. Yikes!
Symptoms include - fatigue, poor concentration, dizziness, reduced recovery from exercise, poor memory.
Dory - hat was from a little boutique store down here called Little Tackers. I've seen some other cute "owl" beanies at Little Illusion (google it - they're based in Tasmania). Otherwise I reckon markets might be a go to find something cute & unique?
Fuzzy - don't go! We all go through patches where we haven't time to reply or do persies - it is ok!
Pretz - I was thinking you sounded too tired, and that I have way more energy than that... then I got a feral head cold - so that showed me lol! Seriously I reckon checking out iron & thyroid is a great idea as both can be a bit dodgy after having bubs.
Vix - I love the name Alannah - was one of my finalists thanks for the comment re your dad. Reminded me we need to do some follow up as the scan confirmed there is one more stone just waitin' in the kidney... DH wasn't too thrilled to hear that! They haven't said he should do anything to avoid them, but I think it's worth double checking!
AFM - trying to get little missie to take a cup today. She only ever takes 30 mls, but starts next month in daycare 1 day/week (was delayed). So today I'm not feeding her until after 5pm & just repeatedly offering her a variety of cups! Wish me luck!!! DH still ok, but not feeling all that great. Oh and I have a great new pic of my little chubba darling
Belfie - feel better soon love - I have the feral head cold too. Thanks for the tips about hats too. Love the pic of A but also the one of X and the puddle and your comment was just so apt. Good luck with the cup. H likes to drink from bowls, not a great look, but it gets the job done. She's just worked out how to blow bubbles back into the water. It's so gorgeous, I can't help but laugh.
Uhm, well bit glum here tonight.... just found out my step dad has bladder cancer. He has an appointment next week with the urologist, and then I suppose the oncologist. I know tragedy doesn't take account of personality, but he is genuinely a really nice bloke. It's a big one too, according to the scans. Hopefully it hasn't metatisised and the treatment is successful. Feeling a bit angry at the universe, tonight. Another night with a heavy heart....
Dory - that is sad news. Is it treatable? I never heard of bladder cancer or what could cause such a horrible thing. *hugs and prayers coming your way*
Belfie - I love your photo. She is devine and I could gobble her up. I don't have aFB account atm so can't show any pics. I do have a photobucket account but find it so painful to use!
Fuzzy - I have no clue what to do re: night feeds at all so can't offer any advice. Maybe offer her water if she wakes up and I guess if after a few nights she decided water is not what she wants, she might just stay asleep...but like I said, no clue here! Hope it does not interfere more with your sleep though. Sleep dep sux!!! lol
Pretz - feel like I am soo cut off from everyone on FB now. Have you been to the doc about being tired etc?
AFM: Alannah was up on a fours last night and on two seperate occaisions, she moved a knee forward!!!!!!!!!!! *happy loopy dance*
