Scone - how come you are surviving on so little money? Did centrelink screw up or something?
Kylz - yeah coloxyl is for constipation, I used it a lot with kelts. Have you tried going to a homeopath? Kelti had a formula made up for her for her reflux, maybe it might help your little dude? Kelti was a 2 hourly feeder too, cos she had silent reflux she had to have small amounts of milk more frequently. Think it helped with her pains. Maybe he's doing the same thing?
Jenna - glad everything is going well!! Aricyn was drinking 120ml at 2 weeks old - now that's a big eater. If only the bugger would eat now lol
Not much going on here, boring Sunday. Just toddling around doing some housekeeping stuff. Thinking of selling some of my CDs, DVDs and books - cos I have so much friggin stuff and I don't listen/watch or read them!
Oh and does anyone know how to get mould out of material?

hey guys back again! Wedding was beautiful except the bride came down with gastro the day of the wedding. My poor BFF was so sick she ended up getting taken to the dr and getting an injection and on tablets to try and stop the vomitting and diaorrhea. Got through the wedding and we got like 10 bridal party photos before she had to go up to her room to just lie down. She made it down to the reception and was able to cut the cake then did the first dance straight away and then she had to go back up to her room. No speeches or anything. Then we had the reception without the bride or groom, just 80 people having dinner and drinks togetherI feel so sad for her, it was her wedding day and she missed it pretty much. I gave C to DH and spent the night dancing away. DH retired early with C and I followed up at 11pm and both were sound asleep on the bed
yay daddy!!
Lisa: Welcome to our group! I'm supposed to be in the 1st feb -15feb group cos C was early but I love it here with my belly buddies
mel: ugh don't even get me started on cleaning. Walked into the house saw the pile of dishes and wanted to walk right out
re smiles: nurse told me that babies start smiling from 6 weeks oldish, some do it earlier some do it later I think Chase was close to the end of 7 weeks when I got a real smile from him. And even now I have to catch him in the right mood to get him to smile at me but I have noticed he is smiling a little more each time
The saddest part is he loves his lolo (its what we call my dad, we have different names for each grandparent because there ware six of themmaybe then he will want to talk to me
gotta go his highness has decided to awaken from a long slumber

Oh, that makes my wedding whinge just petty
Arimeh - I put the forms for the baby bonus in on the 24th march at Medicare. Centrelink tell me that there has been "an influx of babies and theyre still processing flood/cyclone payment and it'll take 3 weeks /21 days to process". According to them the 3wks is tomorrow (18th April). If it's not in there tomorrow, I'm to call on tuesday. I'll be calling on Monday, not tuesday. Dh told me to go in to their offices and ask to see their lunchroom so we could have some food.
I went on maternity leave at 34 weeks (I work in a nursing home- it's full on), was paid 6 weeks maternity leave, which was less than my normal pay (it was an average amount, I knew I wouldn't get the same amount as normal cOz my normal pay includes a lot of penalty rates). Because it was less than normal wage, there was nothing left to save for between maternity leave and when centrelink came through. DD was 9 days late anyway so for the last 6weeks we've been living on all the savings we had (all gone now!) and PIL have been helping us out heaps. Unbelievably thankful to them.
On the upside, I used a lot of food that was just sitting in the pantry!

Wyatt still does those really obvious newborn BFing signals. That's all I go by.

Kylz, If DD takes what's offered I assume she's hungry. She wont open her mouth if she doesn't want it. I'd have thought it'd be the same for breast and bottle fed babies?
I had been wondering lately if DD is ready to roll. I was cooking dinner (at lunchtime!) and I could hear her crying. She had been sleeping in her sheepskin on the floor, sorta on her side (her big fat cloth bum had her sort of on her side but not quite already). I asked dh why she was crying - he was in the loungeroom with both kids playing ps3 and he looked I've and told me she was on her tummy! Funny thing was, she was asleep she did it!
Tummy time the other day, she had a towel under her chest to try and help her, I turned to help DS and turned back to her and she'd pushed herself over the towel and was face first in the carpet! The towel was under her hips!

Wow scone that's a bit rough - and I thought we were on a tight budget!!! Hope your money comes through soon. Wowto your dd moving already!!haha must be something in the name cos my Eden is pure mischief!!
Kylz - S does the hungry cry - the nahhh nahhh sound (I had the dunstan DVD with Aricyn) so I know she is hungry. Plus she will spit out the dummy if it's the boob she wants! Lol
Kitty - wow that's so awful for your friend!!! Talk about your worst wedding nightmare coming true....

First night home alone with W tonight. DH gone to brissy for meetings

Yeah the nehnehneh noise
Ella turns her head with her mouth open like when bubs are just born looking for the breast.
I think Ella has a touch of colic she is asleep and then will let out a sceam pull her legs up fart and stop crying poor baby.
We have been putting her on her tummy on a hot water and she settles and sleeps for ages on the lounge DH wants to put her to sleep in her cradle on her tummy but i am to scared to because of SID's we have an angel care sound and movement monitor but i just dont think i could relax and sleep with her that way even knowing the monitor would go off if she stopped breathing.
Does anyone sleep there bubs on their tummy she does settle so much better.
Registered User
Ferrals - so far S is the only bub that we haven't had to put in their belly. The other 3 wouldn't settle on their back or side. I've always had a breathing monitor though, I'm pretty paranoid about it, so wouldn't be able to ever sleep if I didn't.
Registered User
Fingers crossed that money is in today... I'm not looking yet, otherwise I'll never get to sleep!
Both Edens share the same middle name as well! My Eden's is spelt with a z though, I wasn't allowed to spell it with a s.
Argh! Eden's been awake since 2, just smiling and looking around. I'm so tired

Ferrals how do you stand the noise of the angelcare monitor? Is Ella in your room? I have one for J but its to noisy right next to my ear. I want her next to me also so its not an option to put her in another room. I usually put a pile of blankets on top of it top muffle the sound. I just want the flashing lights and the alarm not the beeping. Also J has a faster then normal respiratory rate so I'm looking at 50-60 beeps a minute minimum. J also lets out a scream in her sleep, farts then back to sleep. Sometimes it sounds like she has blown a hole in the nappy its that loud. As for sleeping on the belly even with the monitor I'd be to scared to also. I would do it during the day whilst I was watching her. In SCN the majority of bubs sleep on their tummy as they do sleep better but we could only do it if they were monitored. I must say I never had one that stopped breathing or was having difficulty because they were on the tummy but still I would be to worried to do it myself at home.
WMM How was your night? I hope you had a good night without your DH.
Kitty your poor friend.

Scone - Go completely off your nut at them, sometimes it's the only way to get anything sorted out with them... can't believe they've left you waiting for this long, it only took them a little over a week to get my baby bonus payment to me.
Hi everyone else, sorry for so few persies, trying to get Elise to sleep. Will be back later to do more.
afm - Elise hardly slept yesterday, DS was a horror, I didn't get to bed until after midnight last night, and then was up at 5:30 to feed Elise again... I'm buggered, and Elise has been feeding every 1-2hrs during the day since yesterday... I have noticed though that she sleeps longer after a formula feed than she does after the booby juice...
Speaking of the booby jice, my supply has started to drop so I'm going to get the ingredients for those lactation cookies this afternoon and make some up.
Is it normal for booby juice to be a bit watery? I've noticed over the last couple of days that my milk has gone a bit watery and isn't as creamy-looking as it used to be
As for pp bleeding, typical that after my post yesterday it has started to die down a bit lol, down to only 2 pads a day now
Well, Elise is finally asleep again and DS is happy watching TV so I'm going to go and express once more (going to try expressing a bit more often too to see if I can get my supply up a bit by doing that), and then get some dishes done.
