Babies Born~February 16th-30th 2009 #5

hi!
sorry i banned myself from BB again! i have lots to catch up on!

I can see a few of you need seom :hug: :hug:.... xx

AJP - im rooming with antheia and the other girls!!!! if i had of read this thread before i would have been in for sure
xxxx

arrhh you should have come in here first!! bummer!

:( im sorry......

AJP - we are heading off to the USA, I think..maybe.. possibly.. not sure... next year - for the space shuttle launch (yep we are uber nerds in this household), so QLD might be outta the question... but ask me next week and we'll probably be doing something else **sigh**

Kaz - hun did you write up your birth story on BB? that might help you come to terms with what happened - helped me :D .. or you could just write it down on a piece of paper, and how you feel and why you feel that way and then burn it, as a bit of a cleansing exercise?
I think its pretty rude for people to poke and prod about what happened. Ohh :hug: for the friend who came over to sus out where things are with you at the mo.. I had one of those come over and she just talked at me for 7hrs, telling me how she had three blokes to choose from :rolleyes:.. ones enough for me!!

AFM - DH is in one of his moods - told me off yesterday for not being talkative with a GF of mine - he hogged the conversation.. i cracked a mental at him for not doing stuff around the house, so I guess we are even :rofl: Alex spends at least 4hrs a day sucking the boobie.. I have no life.

Sorry - double post :redface:

Oh Tarkine - big :hug: darl. I feel like I have no life either! And I don't feel as talkative when we're in social situations as well anymore. Not sure if it's just being too tired or whether it's because I feel like I have nothing to say to people anymore that isn't Jacob related. Hope your DH helps you out more.

Ok this might make you laugh girls. I was brave and put Jacob back in a cloth nappy last night. It was a GK with a normal insert, a booster insert and a microfibre insert on top. He was in it from around 9pm to 1am when he woke for a feed. I sat him up to burp him after he fed the first side and he wee'd out the leg and ALL OVER ME!!! :wall: He also got himself of course. I'd taken his sleeping bag off cause I thought he might be too hot. I don't know what's going on with his bladder atm. I'm probably putting some of you off cloth - they are really good we're just having issues overnight atm. So it was straight back into an Aldi while DP got up to bring me fresh PJ pants!

Quick question - he woke me at 8:30am this morning (also fed at 5:30am) grumbling and grunting in his basinette. I didn't go near him with a dummy like normal but got up and did a couple of things. He was staring at his hand and other things in his field of vision. Just went back in there now and he's fallen asleep again. Is it ok to leave him do you think? I always feed him when he wakes in the morning because the minute he knows I'm around he demands it. Perhaps he doesn't need this feed though? Could he have fallen asleep hungry?

kaz - he wouldnt fall asleep if he was hungry so dont stress :) xxx

Thanks RR.

Has anyone elses baby turned into a poo factory overnight or is it just mine?
J got up at 12. I changed him (wet) then fed. Then right after the feed he did a massive poo. Just as much poo was inside the nappy as outside (between the nappy and the cover) and I could hardly see any nappy on either side! Got it everywhere trying to change him so it was a change of clothes as well. Then we read a story. Right after that he did another poo that escaped outside the cover so it was another full change. Today he's been in bamboo fleece pre-folds that I made and PUL covers. Then I picked him up and he spewed on himself and all over my shoulder :wall:

It's seriously doing my head in. Please tell me your bubbas are doing the same thing? Feels like every nappy change involves leaks!

Kaz - I have a poo factory too! I think she leaked 3 times on the weekend which is really unusual. She is also really chucky. She is sucking her thumb heaps so swallowing a lot of saliva which is coming up - bleh! I can feel lumps on her bottom gum and can see 2 white lines there so I am pretty sure there are some teeth coming fairly soon. I am putting down the above symptoms to teething so I hope that they really are there :lol:

Kaz- :hug: Ash does poo alot but we re using huggies and havent had any probs. We occsasionally get a bit of poo leakage out the side of the leg but its normally if DP hasnt put the nappy on properly. hopefully some clothie girls can help. I would contact the person you are buying them from and tell them about the probs as well.

Jols- We started wrapping Ash again when we moved her to the cot a couple of weeks ago also its warmer for her. She still wakes up. last night wasnt as bad but it was still 3 times between 11:30 and 7:30

dd's DD fussing on my boob heaps

Oh god Nai I hope Jacob isn't teething yet! His cheeks were rosy the other day and he has been drooling heaps and the poo is so runny. Can't even see any milk curds in it anymore. I thought the drooling was a developmental thing?

SNAP Ali! J is fussing heaps too. No longer screaming but more interested in staring at stuff around him.

gee kaz your not having a good run with the poos/wee/vomit :lol:
and i wouldnt worry about him falling back to sleep! millie often does the same!!

nai teeth already!!! :o scary!!!

me cried twice thsi morning all before 9.30am!! mums taken sophie fir the arvo as she has a cold and so does she, just hope i dont get it.
sophie woke 4 times last night, shes doing my head in! millie woke the normal 2 times and went straight back to sleep

ETA the no curds is because j is using your milk very effectively!!!
ali i figured millie was fussing because i was feeding her too often :rolleyes: only took a week to figure that one out

I think he's just done another one :doh:

ETA: Yup! At least this one didn't escape the nappy. That's 4 changes in 90 minutes :o I've just put him down. Hopefully if he goes to sleep he'll stop pooing!

Sorry you're having a rough day AJP. Will you get that arvo nap now that DD1 is at your mums?

Nai- Omg!!! I cant believe that she might be almost ready to cut some teeth!! Scary! :o

Jols- :hug: you poor thing. As Heaven said in her other thread, I have no idea how you girls cope with more than one. Hope Sophie gets better soon and glad your mum was able to help out. You need a block of chocolate! Maybe I am over feeding her. She certainly is packing on the kilos (like her mum :redface: ) I try to replace with the dummy but she will only settle for the boob. Although I am noticing because I am lying down feeding her I dont think she is feeding properly and having a full feed each time she wakes.

Tarkine- I feel like I have nothing else to talk about anymore other than babies, I am trying to read the paper each day online or watch the tv so that I can at least keep up with the news. I am feeling that I am getting boring. Oh and DP is making remoarks being the sow of the family! WTF! I know he is only joking but i am sensitive at the moment about being overweight ands always feeding Ash. :(

How often are you girls all feeding during day and night? We tend to go 3 hourly during the day, sometimes 3.5hours. And at night we have a long 6 hour patch and then cluster feeds.

thanks for the hug ali!! ive cracked a block of choccy already!!
forgot to say had millie weighed today and she's 6.2kg!!

ali for feeds during the day was 2 hourly but im going back to 3 hourly or as she demands it abd overnight its anything from 4-8 hours inbetween, we still feed twice a night, last night it was 6.30pm then straight into bed, 12.15am and 4.30am

:rofl: kaz 4 poos in 90 mins that must be a record!!
no sleep actually going to go to mothers group, though i could have just had a sleep as millie is been asleep for 90 mins :doh:

Holly -Are you coming to the meet up on THursday?

AJP - Maybe Sophie and J should hang out toghether, as he is up in the night too!

Ali - Emilia is feeding between every 3-4 hours by day. By night she goes 10 hours (ish) between feeds.

J was a lot better last night. He woke twice. Once at 11 and once at 1:30. I amsked him if he wanted to dog to sleep on his bed and this cheered him up, so tonight I will put her on the bed again. (not something I like doing, but it makes him happy) Mis E slept till 5:30 then went back down till about 9:30, so all in all I am a lot more rested.
I am going to take the kidlets for along walk in the sunshine this arvo. Make the most of the nice day.

Jols - can you walk to mothers' group? The fresh and air and sunshine can do wonders (even if it is freezing!!).

Ali - don't worry you are still interesting. It's just that you are a bit preoccupied at the moment with a tiny human. Your interests will return.

I am freaking about the teeth a bit but have been expecting them as DD1 got them at almost 5 months and I got them at 3 months so we have early teething genes. I just hope they come through and don't torment poor Miss J by hanging around under the gum for ages. She isn't happy about them at all!

Wow - Early teeth Nai - Hopefully get them all over and done with early.
