Scone Great to hear the cookies helped! Too bad you forgot the sugar hehe. Just think about how much better they are for you without it... even though they probably tasted pretty bad! lol
Tams I don't know how you've done it by yourselves all this time! DH and I are getting along over the past week, but I think it's only because he's doing so much as well. When there's no one else you definitely need to both pull together.
EM How are you going today?
Kylz I hope you and J had a better day and night last night xoxo.
Sarah If you don't have anyone around that can lend a hand, I'd be happy to come over to help. My house is looking like a bomb has hit it at the moment, but I told DH to expect it for the next few days because I don't care lol.
Jenna I'm having the same kind of problem with H not wanting to be put down. I'm struggling with it because I don't want him to get in to that routine where he can't settle himself to sleep, but then I think, aww he's just so little he needs cuddles. Plus I want to cuddle him all the time so I'm not helping the situation lol
Mildez Firstly, Hi! Great to see you here :-) FX your little one has put on weight!!
Last night was a bad night for us. I decided to start H on a different formula yesterday and I don't think he likes it. He only drunk 100ml at 2am (he's on 150ml usually), then woke up at 4:30 and had only 60ml, then again at 5:30 and had only 30ml before going back to sleep. So at 7:30 when he woke I made a bottle with the usual NAN and he had the whole lot and we slept till 10:30. Little brat lol.
Weirdly enough I received my new medicare card in the mail last week, but when I called centrelink about the PPL they said it hasn't been processed yet. This means work isn't going to pay me this fortnight because they haven't received the funds from CL. Bastards! lol. Thankfully I kept most of my last pay aside just in case this happened.
Hayden had his 4wk check the other day and has put on 700g in the last 2 weeks! Little chubba lol. He's now up to 5.7kgs and is so strong! Last night he discovered for the first time that his legs can be used to kick and move himself. Now whenever I have him on my tummy for some cuddles he pushes himself right up and stares at me. It's so cute
I have been following along on tapatalk, but just feel exhausted lately and still not completely over this flu. DH has been taking H as soon as he gets home and also taking the 2nd night feed as H usually wakes just before he has to get up for work. I feel really bad about it because he then has to go to work all day, but he says he enjoys it and TBH I think he feels like he's making up for not being able to see his daughter. His ex took off with her when she was a baby and we haven't seen able to find her since, so he has missed so much I don't know how someone could do that to the father of their child, particularly when there's no reason for it.
I'm sorry I know I've missed someone but H is due to wake up soon and I have no bottle made. It's taken me forever to write this - I've actually written 3 posts over the past few days that I keep losin them lol
Just popping in, Tuesday night apparently I dribbled nonsense in my sleep to dh, yesterday he ordered me to have a sleep through the day. That didn't happen because Eden was either feeding or screaming or both ALL day. I think she slept for an hour and a half all day. I ended up calling dh, and then his mum and we ended up going with mil to a friends place for afternon tea and we had dinner at the in laws. Such a lifesaver!
I am so behind in the reading as i didnt see the new thread - I have been on the puda for nearly 2 hours writing my birth story, thanks for the kick Mel, I will post a link as soon as it has been approved (is this a new thing) so i really cant read it all now to catch up - so i am really sorry for the lack of personals
Took MJ to the Osteo on Tuesday as she is continually grunting and farting and doing bubbly poos so i know that there is a wind issue going on. It was amazing to see her work on MJ, so gentle, but really helped, we had such a great night afterwards, We are back tomorrow morning, she reckons i will need maybe 2-3 more visits and then she will be all fixed up - maybe worth a try for those with unsettled gassy babies?
Had a CMHN visit on Tuesday too, A is 55cm long and 4.5kg, she is huge for a 2 week old - it took MJ 6 weeks to get to those numbers and she was a bigger than average baby too!
Gotta go as want to try and squeeze in a cuppa before A wakes again, Mum has MJ for the night tonight so will have a bit of a less rushed evening
Will catch up soon and try and get on here more often so i cant actually contribute instead of just talking about myself - sorry
The boys had their needles today and they are both so unsettled. I can't settle them at all. Even panadole isn't doing the trick. I'm pulling my hair out. Poor little cherubs, i wish i could take their spot.
Ooooo so many bubs gaining great amounts of weight. After a rocky start I am so pleased little J has gained 160grams in 3days. I'm thrilled. She is now 60grams above her birth weight. Hopefully if she continues to gain like she is now she will be a chubber in no time. Have visitors so will have to go just wanted to share my woohoo. J needed to put on 50grams to stay out of paeds so she has well and truely done that plus 110grams more
Whoo Hoo to the weight gain Mildez, makes it all worth it now hey?
Kolton got weighed today and he is 9 pound 1. My midwife was so amazing. I am pretty blessed, not sure if you guys remember but at one point I was so frightened of midwives. Not anymore. : )
Still no internet using son's DO DO thingy so have to be quick we have been told internet will be connected tuesday i actully had to ring today and go off my nut and cancel all my services with telstra before a manager rang me to say they have organised it all and fixed the problem.
Sarah-Yeh! on a name for your little girl.
Tams-i have tried S26 gold S26 SMA and all gave Ella pretty bad wind i was told the more casin the heavier the formula so harder to digest and more likely to get wind so we tried karicare and Ella brought that all up so next was Nan HA gold which is 100% percent whey No casin and she has settled down but seems to be hungry every 3-4 hours and because she is feeding so much gets overfull and uncomfortable so now we are trying normal Nan pro which is 70% whey and 30% casin so hopeing the whey helps settle the wind but the little bit of casin helps her go a bit longer between feeds hopefully 4-5 hours.
We have also received Ell'a birth certificate it only took 2 weeks.
Mildez-Yeh on making it to our march group i dont pop into out other thread very much just dont have time.
Ella has just started to smile it is so adorable.
Sorry for lack of persies i just dont have the internet time to go back through all the post's i have missed.
AFM-Ella is doing great other than trying to sort out which formula is gentler on her belly but the little fatty has put on 900 grams in 2 weeks she is now 9lb 6oz which is 4.25kgs she was born 2.9 kilos (2940 grams) so the 3 hourly feeds can easily go to 5 hourly without affecting her weight gain.
She is now 52cm long and her head cm is 35cm so she is still a little bundle my SIL baby was born bigger then her and she is 4 weeks old tomorrow.
We have worked out when she is tired and gets cranky she likes to be put to bed and left to fall asleep which is good no rocking or patting here.
She still hates her baths and her nappy off lol but is such a little sweety has the prettiest little face.
We have finally moved into our new house which is really nice way better then the other place but moving after major surgery with a 2 week old was really hard i got an abcess in my c section wound which was really painful it is looking really good now though and the scar is really good just a thin line and no overhang.
Jaki-Hi chick thanks for texting me reminded me of how much i have missed you all.
Anyway better go i will get back on when i can and hopefully my internet will be on next week.
Mildez: Yay!!! Go you chubba bubba That should be a load off your mind, congratulations! She just wanted to take a little longer to get there
Kylz/Hope: The needles are def no fun, made me sad seeing him cry. Chase didn't really care about the needles after they were done, he cried of course and the nurse said to expect him to be grumpy but he was normal. Maybe he was just used to needles cos he had so many when he was in the SCN.
ferrals: no rocking or patting required for sleep?? How do you teach that LOL Ouchies about the abssess on your scar that sucks but at least you are in a nice new house with a land lord who isn't a giant pain in the a$$ I have a bit of overhang if I don't hold in my belly not overhang exactly but you can see where the cut was because my skin is tighter there. hope you find the right formula for your little lady soon
tams: Kolton's such a big boy! Doing extremely well, bet your a proud mumma
sammie: oooh cuppa i hear you on that one was waiting to see if Chase woke up at 10pm or whether he would sleep through and looks like he is sleeping through, oh yeah. So im gonna get myself a cuppa now. And hurray for bubs growing nice and strong, its such a great feeling of accomplishment.
Ali: and congrats to you too on Hayden gaining all his weight. What well fed bubbas we are all having. You Dh sounds wonderful. I love hearing about DH's who aren't addicted to online gaming, then I have something to refer to in an arguement so keep up with the nice stories hehehe
scone: thats so nice that your in laws were able to help you, Chase was grumpy yesterday as well, same thing almost no sleep. By 11pm I was pulling my hair out, I ended up leaving him with DH and going to bed. I didn't care that DH had work, seriously I felt so helpless I wanted to cry. And then DH got him to sleep in half and hour I told him I did all the hard work though so he couldnt take credit LOL
Found out Chase has ticklish ears today I had to put some sunscreen on him as we were heading out and he wiggled and smiled. And he has started making coo noises Like high pitched little noises when he is in a fun mood which is like....once a day hahaha. I'm really hoping I still fit into this bridesmaid dress on Saturday and Im freaking out about giving my speech!!!
Also back on the AF thing (i know i know, why wont this lady shut up about AF) but for those who have had kids before what was your first AF back like? I'm on day 2 and only wearing a liner and the blood is old blood too. I'm not complaining since the lighter the better but wondering if thats normal and its all just cleaning itself out. Was kind of expecting more. Not that I can really remember AF it was so long ago!!! LOL
Omg reading all these bubbas just hitting the 9pd mark - I will never see that day with my big boy but that's alrite I still love him no matter wat size he was/is
Hi ladies! sorry for my rant lastnight i feel heaps better today, i went and put Allyssa's forms in and had a wander arround the shops felt SO good to be out of the house!! i think thats been my problem, we dont all fit in df's car anymore, so im prety much stuck at home, never thought that would be the thing to get to me! i even got ALOT done once i came home, pluss our dog got the mouse tonight, so YAY!! (hoping with all hope it was just the one!) im taking the boys to the library tommorow morning, just so im out the house for a bit, seemed to do alot of good today.
YAY for all the babies putting on weight!!
Kitty, i think they should be fine, i used them first af after the others, was told to change them more frequent then usual, itms. i cant realy remember what it was like the first one, after krystal i only had like a half one, then was utd with allyssa, it sounds about normal tho. good luck with your dress!
Jenna, you cant aske them to keep it the way it is? i know they tried to change my pay to fortnight each time, and i lost it made them put it back to weekly im hopless at budgeting.
Tams, dont feel bad for boasting, it gives me hope that A will sleep in her bed all night yet!! i cant belive they messed his certificate up like that i hope they fix it and get it back to you quickly.
Ali thank you. 700 in 2 weeks, wow! go H go!

I don't know how someone could do that to the father of their child, particularly when there's no reason for it.
