Hmmmm, where have I heard that before??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:
Veeerrrryy quiet in here!
I have a cranky bubba today :(
poor wyatt(hope i spelt that right!)
i have a sick bubba, feel like a cow cos shes got whatever it is off me :(
we have head controll!! still a little on the floppy side, but shes holding it up on her own! i kept forgeting to support her head all the time as the other 3 could do it from day1 so didnt need support all the time.
Yeah but I mean it this time lol!!!!:
Jak - aw poor bubba is he sick? Or just windy or something?
Sarah - S has had really good head control from day dot, like all my others. It's cool isn't it!! Although sometimes she looks like one of those bobble head toys....
Afm - all quiet here! S is feeding, Eden is sleeping, kelts is watching sesame st and Aricyn is on his laptop. Just a pretty lazy day overall. Better figure out what we are having for lunch I suppose, and prepare dinner while no one is whinging...
Double post :doh:
Yeah you spelt it right :D
I think it's wind, gave him some IF and he is fine now.
W has had a strong neck since the start too. He is too strong! Such a fighter.
Hey ladies, little K is the same with his neck but it drives me nuts because he acts like a little bobble head!
Yaaa for a quiet house Mel.. You are a busy woman indeed. So enjoy the quiet time when you get it.
I hear you on the rant with the government Jak.. Everyone says oh your income is sooo high.. Yes, love that is before the tax man takes almost HALF!!
Kyz, wish I would of seen you but had such a pj in bed day.. was so lazy.
I just switched K again as he just had a massive explosive poo that filled up two nappies. He was only on the Karicare for 48 hours but he was worse with wind and looked in pain whilst going to the toilet. Have now gone to SMA we shall see how that works.
Hello to everyone else. xx
Goodness do you have to buy a whole can every time you try a new formula??? I'd cry! Lol
Easier then watching little K in pain. Seriously last 24 hours was horrid. I only miss out on $20. So.. if anyone would like a free can of Karicare gold.. LMAO.
Urgh I remember that with kelti. She was so constipated that when she did poo, her little bumhole bled and she screamed like nothing I have ever heard before. It broke my heart. We had already gone through 6 different types, then ended up on goats milk formula - that was the best out of the lot. Poor little thing. :(
Oh Mel! That is so sad.. It would of broken my heart. : (
Mel, love the disclaimer on your sig,:lol::
And I mean it this time....
Jenna, id love to meet up one day, but am broke as for the next 2 weeks. have fun in brighton tho.
Haha Sarah that's cos I said I was definitely done after Eden *cough cough*
Very true my love.:
Argh! Why am I not getting updated?! I'm keen for a meet up, have you all got together yet?
Ummmmm I think I'm missing from this list :(
:
scone, that was the belly buddies thread, Kylz, werre you doing one for here? im gonna be a pest, can we make that baby taylor?
Let's make a lovely new list shall we??
Hey Tams was going to ask how k was going on the new formula, that sucks it didn't work out. I don't know anything about formula but friends have suggested nan ha. Hope I got the name right!
Yes let's have a meet up soon! Are we doing dfo again? I just realised I had the only girl from the last meet up!!!!
Iona, Sam, how are you going?
Haha Mel love your Sig.
How's your grumpy baby jak? We are having success with IF too thank god
Meanwhile AFM chloe got moved into her own room this weekend as DH is back to work and starts at 2am and wakes everyone up. Sooo sad and it's only been one shift haha. And as soon as he left i wheeled her into our room. I am waking up every hour or so to check she's breathing I am so so paranoid something will happen to her. Driving myself nuts!!! Going to chiro tomorrow, wish us luck! Anyone who's been before what do they actually do to bub? Something I hope, for $90 lol!
hi ladies, i have been reading but have been busy with doing stuff and getting ready for luke's birthday on thurs
argh i feel like crap....I hope it's just a 24hr thing as this morn, luke came thru to our bed and he was shivering but had a fever so gave him some panadol and heaps of cuddles. he fell asleep for an hr and then he got up saying he was going for a shower - next thing he threw up!! so chucked him in the shower, i cleaned up the vomit, chucked him back into bed with me and he slept til about 10 and seems to be a bit better. Now I feel like crap...headache, even tho i slept for 1.5hrs this arvo and feel like chucking - let's just hope i don't pass it onto Jack
Sorry Rhi I will add u what was ur edd? That was just from out belly buddies thread and having it reminds me of koby :(
Mildz I will add u too if u like.
Not a prob Sarah I will change it when I update it.
WE havent caught up yet. Waiting for Lou to be able to drive again. Im happy to go to DFO again.
Iona - I have had a shocking headache all day and last few hours have been feeling generally off.
Tams - J has Bellamy Organics its good.
AFM - well I think my BF time is up. I am having mixed emotions about it so please be gentle. I have been expressing and genereally only get 60ml from each boob once a day now :( I have had no appetite and went a whole day without eating the other day. I cant force myself to eat either. I dont know im just rambling. Sorry been emotional weekend and im just all over the shop. Maybe I try this again later. Sorry

Edd was 9 march, Eden Elizabeth born 18 march 8lb 5oz
If were going to meet up, let me know!
:hug: kylz
Bit traumatised today... Eden is 3weeks old. Went to visit my grandma today with my mum and my husband. Mum bought macca's for lunch. Mum was holding Eden while I ate lunch and she was crying coz she was hungry. Mum put her finger in her mouth to try and calm her, but Eden spat it out coz obviously mums finger is not a nipple. So mum gets a fry (chip) and goes to put it in her mouth :jawdrop: :wall: it didn't actually go in her mouth, but it did touch her lip. I said "uh uh" and was ignored so I said more firmly "no!" Husband said rather forcefully "Rhianon will take her off you!" I was amost in tears but held back and took Eden back anyway and fed her.
About 2hrs later I get a MSG from my sister saying mum was in tear because how harshly she was spoken to and that she was told that I'll never let her see Eden again.
I'm sorry. My daughter is 3 weeks old, take all food away from her!
Jeez scone, you let her off lightly - I would have slapped her!!!!! I nearly went off at the gym day care lady when she got a teething rusk and gave it to Eden when she was 5 months old - we do BLS so she hadn't eaten anything - and I didn't supply the bloody rusk in the first place, it belonged to some other kid!! I was furious, so I can only imagine how angry you are.
Kylz - I don't think any of us will judge you or anything lovely, god, look at all my previous bfeeding history! LOL... I cast no judgement upon anyone for the way that they parent, cos crikey, I've probably done wayyyyy worse.. lol Be gentle on yourself ok? :hug:
Iona - I hope you feel better soon :hug:
EM - we moved the basinette into our walk through robe today - sick of the kids waking her up, our house is so tiny, all noises go straight through to our bedroom. So its probably strange that our child is nearly in a bathroom to sleep.. haha!!! As for the chiro, I've taken every child to see one (so far, will be booking S in for a session soon) and they do slight adjustments on them, and just basically check that they are not out of whack from the birth and stuff. Both of my section kids had bad necks from being ripped out with forceps. Eden went for her reflux issues.
oh kylz - hugs sweety....don't think bad of not breastfeeding, you are doing what is best for you and jayden and remember we are not going to judge you in anyway. we love u mwah xoxox
Oh cool thanks Mel. I'm a bit excited to see if it helps. And prove to mum I'm not crazy for taking her haha.
Omg Scone I would have lost my sh*t at mum if she did that! Surely your mum has enough grandkids to know why you would go off at that. I think you reacted better than most would!
Kylz hugs hun. We would never judge you, do what's best for you. Xxx
Iona hope you and Luke feel better soon. X
Oh and kylz I can drive by wed/Thursday Woohoo!!!
Kylz: :hug: you poor thing, you sound so stressed. Like the others said you have to do whats best for you, BF or FF who cares, J's getting his food, guarantee he doesn't really care where it comes from :) dont beat yourself up.
scone: thats crazy your mum did that! I would have been P.O.'d too. I've already started lecturing my mum because with my brothers kids she gave them chocolate and soft drink etc when they were young because she's 'the grandma'. ha that excuse ain't gonna fly with my kid woman LOL Maybe just have a sit down with her and gently tell her why you were so upset with her.
Iona: hope you don't get sick I swear something is going around lately. Looking forward to seeing little Jack :)
lou: oh im not ready for chase to be out of our room yet, i think i'd miss him LOL the only one who is really affected by him being there is DH cos when i BF at 3am he is still trying to sleep cos he has to wake up at 5am. I suppose i will have to look at moving Chase out soon :(
Im trying to remember who i missed, i swear baby brain is worse after you've given birth!
Meet up: ive got a meet up with some girls with their babies from school every wednesday so any other day would be good but if we have to make it wednesday ill just blow them off. I love you guys a little more :)
Ugh our 16 year old next door neighbour just keeps popping over to hang out with my husband. DH is 25 years old...if neighbour boy is looking for a new BFF he might have to look for someone closer to his own age LOL The thing thats annoying is that he knows we have a baby, half the time i run around half naked cos im BFing and just turning up on our doorstep is sooo not appreciated.
Chase slept from 10pm to 6am this morning, I guess we have a routine now. If i get him in bed between 8pm to 10pm he sleeps for 8 hours :) Id like to claim its cos of my awesome parenting skills but I seriously did nothing hahaha but im a very happy mumma
Faaaark we are having the worst night. Been crying/fussing/feeding/screaming for 6 hours straight. Go to effing sleep!!!!!!! Ok vent over.
EM - they have a growth spurt at 2 and 3 weeks of age so she could be in the middle of that?
Really? That must be it! Have finally tamed the beast lol. I think. Need sleep ella will be up at 5-6. Lucky DH has day off tomorrow he is on ella duty for as long as chloe sleeps for. I thought having one kid was hard! Don't know how u do it!!
Having a **** night here too. I don't know what to do for his wind other than give him IF.
DH seems to think burping him helps him fart as well..?
I know bicycle legs can help but not ideal when he is stiff and screaming.
I feel like Such a ***** mother :(
Well I'm raising such a ladylike little girl... She just gulped down her milk, belched, threw up because she ate too fast, farted so loud she scared herself, then grinned :rofl: She's lucky I love her :p
Sent from my iPhone so forgive the speelung misstacks ;)
Jaki - I used infacol with my kids, only one it didn't help was DD1 - then we found out she had silent reflux so all her symptoms were that, not wind! Now that's a bad mum - you are definitely not one xxx
EM - it's easier when they get older. I've always found the first 6 months are the hardest, after that it's pretty cruisy.
So my first day on my own today with all of them. This should be interesting! DD1 is awake with DH at the moment - my stupid frikkin cat woke her up. So ready for this cat to eff off and stop waking my bloody kids up! DD3 is feeding, DD2 and DS are still asleep next to me. So it's peaceful for the moment...
Ellasmummy: That sounds good, will use Nan H next. I just moved K into his room a few days ago too. I still bring him back to bed to feed him though and promptly place him back into bed. I think i was waking with every single sound before and he seems to sleep better now in his own room.. minus the last two nights. Your not alone with checking the breathing. I am SO grateful for my video monitor. I can lay in bed and still keep an eye on K. It has saved my sanity and getting out of bed at 1,2, 3 or 4.. several times. I think with that has happened in the last few weeks, it is completely normal! Good luck at Chiro! Hope that works! xx
Iona: Aw poor Luke! I hope you feel better soon chook and do not get it! Look forward to catching up with you and meeting the new little man in your life. xx
Kylz will give that a go if I need to change again, thanks chickie. Btw, your decision is the best for you and J, so congrats on making the decision! No one here will judge you, we love you too much. xx
Scone: hello! I would be that upset too. Clearly, she just had a moment of not thinking? xx
Mel, Chiro? First time I heard this.. Maybe I should do that with K.. Hmmmm. Lol about S in closet, sounds weird but I would do it in a sec.. Your cat sounds like he needs to spend some time outside... : ) Btw growth spurt? That would explain my **** night the last few nights... and the feeding every 2 hours!
Kitty: Maybe that is why your neighbour is stopping by... Maybe dh is just an excuse :ROFL: Btw good on you with Chase! I believe it is your wonderful parenting! *Pat on back!! I agree baby brain seems to be MUCH worse after pregnancy!
Jaki: Ohhhh. Hugs! U ARE NOT a ****ed mom!! You are brilliant! Don't be so hard on yourself! Hope W is feeling better. Have your tried massaging his tummy with some lotion or oil? I don't know if K feels better when I do that or if it just distracts him but could be worth a go.. xx
Can I ask what infacal and infants friend is?
Afm: I have been feeding every 2 hours that last 36 hours.. Minus a few 4 hour periods. K seems to only cry when he is hungry... and when he is hungry he wants the bottle yesterday!! I am assuming that he is having a growth spurt. Here is hoping. I am so tired beyond belief.... but on a good front.. the last twelve hours has been good as this new formula SMA seems to be really agreeing with K. :pray:
I have an apt with a midwife for thursday, cannot wait have sooo many questions!!
Hope everyone is well. XX
Jak we were up til 3am so feel your pain. I rang mum and said shed been up from 6.30pm til 3am and all she said was babies her age shouldn't be up that long. NO SH*T. How much IF do you give W? We are giving c the full dose now, so .5ml, last night though aaaagggg. I had a milkshake and orange juice yesterday so one of them upset her belly too but don't know which. So now I can't have too much dairy,store fruit,dried fruit,onion,chocolate,sauces and juice.
LMP that monitor sounds awesome think I will have to invest in something similar.
Good luck today Mel!
Tams - sounds like k is having a growth spurt but I know jack has been going thru stages of either going 1 or 2 hrs between feeds
Kitty - yay on getting a routine at night good going chase
Jaki - If w is unsettled with wind, I use to put a wrap in the microwave for 30secs n then place on luke's belly on top of clothing n wrap Luke up and it would help settle him especially at nite
Kylz - hugs sweety. As soon as I know wat day my mw wants to see me will organize to come see u
Hi to everyone else
Hi all. Still feeling pretty crap so off for some retail therapy lol sure that just make it worse.
Lou - Ive been told NOT to have OJ. Apparently that makes them ill. I give J a 1/4 tsp of IF in a dummy medicator cause its so much easier than stupid dropper.
Iona - No worries Hun. Im happy to come to your place if you like. Easier with JM (Jack) cause JT (Jayden) likes to get out of the house as much as I do. Plus I have your linen still lol.
Jak - I feel your pain. J was such a pain last night. He just wont go down any earlier than 930. Ive started putting him down half asleep and he just grunts himself to sleep. He didnt want to go back down at 3am though which is the first time in a while he has done that..
Koby says hi to all and to let you know that she is doing ok. She doesnt feel up to popping in yet but wanted me to pass on a message.
Kylz: my theory is shopping makes everything better :) And for the info about OJ, will steer clear. Thats good to hear that Koby is doing ok, I still think about her daily.
Tams: Infacol relieves infant wind before painful colic can occur according to the box. I give him .2ml 5-20mins before feeding just in case I was worried about continuous use as I give it to him before every 2nd feed but my GP assured me prolonged use is ok. In my case its pre-emptive, if i don't use it he gets a belly ache. Neighbour boy doesn't really want to see the baby, he just wants to hang with DH *sigh* DH needs to stop being so approachable.
lou&tams: the clinic nurse I went to see told me that they have growth spurts every 3 weeks, so 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 9 weeks etc. So they will feed more often, Chase changes to wanting feeds every 1-2 hours and he fully deflates my boobs for about 2 days!!!
mel: good luck today :) ur a braver woman than I, one baby is hard enough for me, I still can't get any housework done
teni: Millie sounds like a perfect little lady ;) LOL my fav fart moments with Chase are when he is asleep in the middle of the night and then he wiggles and just lets out loud ones in his sleep LOL
jaki: you are a great mum, you are doing great. When Chase has a tummy ache I just hang him over my thigh while I am sitting down to try and rub/pat his back. My mum also reckons just massaging his belly clockwise helps but Chase hates me touching his belly :shakehead: The other thing I do is while sitting I pull my legs up into a hill shape then hang him so his head is over my knees and rub/pat his back. Don't know if either of the things I do are right but they seem to help Chase anyway :)
Won't be on the net from Friday to Monday this weekend, I have my BFF's wedding this weekend at Kingscliff and we are staying down there at Peppers Salt :) I'm really looking forward to it, my first holiday with Chase (sure DH is coming too but who cares about him LOL). I got my suck in my tummy undies I'm all good :)
Just put the boy down for a nap :) I'm free for about 2 hours!!!! woooo!!!
