peach: Aww i wish i'd got a cast of mu bump. but knowing daz he'd have left a few 'dents' in it lol. he was an active 'blip' haha!(can you tell how i got my name ;) ) yay for walks in the garden! glad to hear winter is into the solids...now the fun starts!
Antheia: aww about a/f - im still waiting for mine...2HPT and two :bfn: 's later you'd think i'd just 'deal' with it haha...but NOOO! when are you commin' down to melb? its bloody cold down here atm so you'll need to rugg up! (and if your DH is getting stationed at hastings as it? he'll REAALLLY need to rug up. its cold there!) did orson like spit/push out the food then kinda gag? daz did with the thickner gel...as for the hard poo...i found infants friend helped things *ahem* 'move along' with that. maybe swich formular brands? daz is on karicare and it seems to be (along with nan it hink it is) one of the watery-er ones. my MCHN said that if daz has hard poos to give him his bottle and the last 10-15mls of it add 10-15mls of water so he gets more water into him (which failed 'cus he wouldnt take any more :rolleyes: )
AFM: went out for lunch with a high school friend today (well we had a falling out waaaaaaaaay back in year 8 cus i went out with her ex :p ) but it was nice...her DP is 37, she's my age so it was nice to have some one like me out there! she's also thinking about settling down, her DP has a son whoes 15...but her DP was nice and made a joke about "i never had gray hairs untill boo" (my friend) and i said "yeah well, chris never had gray hairs untill i went into labour then i scared him gray!"
then had to drop into my mum and dads for some 'organic' lemmons (also known as the type they prune once a year and then get lemmons from :p ) for DH's cold. its man flu mainly (whingeing whineing YKWIM?) speaking of DH i better go make his honey and lemmon
hope every one is having a good weekend!

Hi ladies,
Well it's been a massive week for us!
Sammy is on solids and she is just like Winter and LOVING IT! She's been having organic rice cereal in BM and loves it. I am going to weigh her today to see how much she has put on in the last 2 weeks, I am thinking should be close to 500gr, she's just been eating SO MUCH. She has started waking up at midnight, 3am and 6am again :( I am seriously starting to feel it, but DH asked me to express as much as possible and he will do a feed, the midnight one so I can get more than 3 hours sleep straight. Going back to Sammy's eating, she is still eating every 3 hours during the day. MIght try to get an appointment with the EC nurse this week to have a chat, I guess once we find out her weight, it will give us a better idea. Another big one for Sam is that she is no longer sleeping in her snuggle bed, that went a few days ago and now the only problem is that she is able to roll in bed, caught her asleep on her tummy yesterday, so been very watchful and every time I hear her stir, I've been getting up to make sure that she hasn't rolled over but all and all, she didn't budge one bit and there was hardly any transitions between small and big bed, but I guess that could also account for her waking up at night and having problems resettle, shejust needs getting used to. Our other big thing this week is that Sammy is now able to roll from one end of the room to the other, she has finally mastered the full roll! You should have seen my face when I put her down, checked something on the computer and 2 minutes later when I looked again, she was 1.5 metres from where I left her and it was full of toys as well! LOL But watched her this am and there is no stopping her now, she has also started to hate the bouncer ( she just wants to roll) but her spews have really slowed down so is not so much an issue. ALRIGHT< enough about me!
Peach: thanks for the encouragement, I think I kinda hit a low last week and I have a feeling sleep depravation also has something to do with it. So glad your new house is awesome, having lots of space must be great! And really good to see you are out and about walking, its been raining here for the last week and I am getting cabin fever SOMTHIN' Serious! I find it really clears my mind and always cheers me up once I come back from my daily walk. Go Winter on solids and cannot believe she has teeth already! I can feel some bumps in Sams mouth but haven't spotted any actual teeth yet, mind you its so freakin hard to try and acutally SEE in their mouth !LOL
Antheia: Am not looking forward to get AF back thats for sure! is your ankle any better??
Try the glyceryn suppository for Orson, it worked so quickly and Sam has not had issues since, they are infants ones too so its not like a horse pill or whatever. Hope you and your DH have an awesome week together. You'll have to tell us how the super nanny went with Lily too.
Blip: Hope your DH feels better, you gotta love the "man flu" what would they do without women around? thats awesome that you pactehd things up with your friend and even better that she is in teh same situation as you with DH and all. Do you get a lot of "frowns & looks" when you are out with your DH? And I totally agree that I think ALL our DH's got grey hair from labour, it changes a man forever I reckon, after all, its not every day you see a baby coming out of your wife's woo woo! LOL
Sterla: Hope the house move is going well :) Looking forward to hear from you and how much you love your new home!
Alrighty, might try to chill out a bit before Sam wakes up :)
Mxx

moose: Woo for a rolling sammy! the image i had in my head made me chuckle! im glad to hear sammy is liking solids. daz hasnt had any yet. i have thought about it, but the way he is now with the refux, i dont want to have chunks *just* yet! haha. i so know how you feel about not getting out. i was cooped up all day friday and most of saterday (saterday being man-flu onset) i was about ready to thump DH for whingeing about being sick! (maybe he should try moring sickness on! hah) as for the age gap between DH and i we're pritty lucky 'cus i look older and he looks younger (to qoute a tafe friend "your only as old as the women you feel" ) the only time things where frowned on was when i was in my last year of high school...and i lost my best friend over it - and she then became friends with a wall - when i shoved her into it :duh: best choice i ever made. i hope sammy has gained heaps of waight for you! as for the 3hr feeds - most breast fed bubs do that (so i've been told) becuase the BM is more watery and better aborbed then Formular...mind you daz still feeds every 3.5hrs (and every 4.5 at night). i hope the waigh in goes well!
AFM i think i've got the cold WOO. and *hopefully* :PMS: cus not having a/f is bugging me! haha never thought i'd say that one! plus im hopeing its a/f on her way 'cus i woke up feeling like i wanted to vomit...so im hopeing that was an empty tummy kinda sick 0_o. took my car to be put on gas (duel fuel)but the stooopid people told DH 8am so we got up (DH took a sick day today..) and drove down (me in my old car DH in my new one) and waited untll 8:20 and gave them the keys, they said "ohh we dont open untill 9am" :o wtf? any whoo i better toddle off...and do some washing.
hope every one is having a nice day!

Morning Girls,
Blip- Gotta love how men always get "the flu" never just a common cold... hopfully your all eating lots of vegies!! What is BFN? I dont miss AF one single bit. Im such a cranky pants when I get it lol.
How did you get back in contact with your friend after all these years? Glad to hear you guys had a good time. How big is the gap with you and DH? How did you guys meet? (dont mind me nosy parker Peach :))
Moose- lol that is SO cute Sammy is rolling rolling rolling the whole way around your room too cute :) The first time Winter rolled I was out of the room and came back and she was on her tummy, so I can Imagine the shock you got.
With her teeth you should see a little white dot on her gums before the tooth starts cutting through. Also we have been using Hylands teething relief you get from the chemist.. works a charm.
Antheia- Oh thats is so horrible for Orson. I havnt had anything like that with Winter but she is BF and her poo's are like splodgy toxic green water. Even with the farex. Are you guys doing anything for your birthday?? Where abouts in mMelbourne will you guys be moving to? How long till you move?
Sterla- Hows everything going?? Hows the new place?? Hows Oli?
So its rainy and miserable here today, rain forcast untill thursday. Not alot planned for the week, wed mg is going to see "the proposal" which I have no interest in but I think Winter and I will go and have lunch with them after the movie.
Have any of you girls seen 'Changeling' with Angelina Jolie? I watched it on the weekend and to say it was disturbing would be an understatement.
Hope your all happy and well :)
-
peach: BFN = Big Fat Negative :bfn: :) as for being nosey your not! haha theres 10 and a bit years between DH and i. we met when i was working at a subway near his work (i was 3 weeks off turning 17) and he and another guy used to come in then DH started comming in on his own *just* before close time. he often jokes he thought i was cute screwing my nose up to the idea of tuna on a sub! and yes we've had all the jokes about daz being the "foot long baby" hah! as for a/f i miss it cus i'd like to know when i ovulate for when we TTC (well it'll be like TTC with darren 'when it happens, it happens' lol ) but still...plus i want to stop thinking i'm UTD...its driving me crazy!
-
Hi girls - just a quick note. Writing from my phone (internet not back on yet) so will be short.
We are all moved in - hooray! :dance: Everything went very smoothly and Oliver has settled in really well. I can't wait to get our internet on so I can update properly... I may even include a few pics :).
Hope you're all well.

Sammy is now 6kg! well 5.97kg but pretty sure that with what she just had to eat , she's nmow 6kg! LOL 400gr in 2 weeks, so we are happy and will up her formula to see if it may help her sleep a bit better!!
-
Thats great Moose! You must be so relieved and happy :) Stoked!
Glad to hear the move went well Sterla, looking forward to seeing photos!
Blip- Ah how irritating not knowing with AF. Before Baybay was conceived i was so irregular, it makes it hard. Constantly paranoid! How long did it take your DH to get the guts to ask you out? How long have you guys been together now? Wouldnt tuna make it all soggy? Bletch lol :)
Have a great night everyone!
-

(mind you two days before that i plaied paint ball...and did a 3am start in the deli...had coke and a banna for brekkie...never tuched a banna again!)
-
Awww Blip! Let's all share our stories of how we met our DH/DPs!
Mine is pretty boring. DH and I have known each other since Grade 1. In Grade 8 we became friends which turned into more... we were 'going out' by the end of the year. When DH turned 18 we got engaged, then got married a year and a half later. Who says high school romances don't last! :p
Who else wants to share?
-
Good Morning!
Im back on the BB train well and truly :)
Ooooh I love hearing how people met their DP/H's.
DP and I have been known to each other since '97 when we both started the same high school. We didnt become good friends till 2000 when we started hanging out in the same group(I was the girl who hung out with the boys pretty much even though thats completely changed these days! I love girly time) and then by 04 he was one of my best friends... one drunken evening we kind of kissed haha... and the rest is history! It so good that way I think, he has seen me at my best and worst and I never ever have to pretend to be anything but myself. We have been together 5 years in December. I love him so much! He's my best friend in the whole world :D
How is everyone today? Winter is having sleepy time, I just had a hot chai and Im feeling quite good. Having a friend and her man over for dinner tonight which will be good, Im going to make mushroom and sweet potato risotto with garlic bread...
How are the little ones??
-
sterla : aww that sooo cute!
Peach: LOL at the drunken kiss. some times boose loosens toungs and frees ambitions! looks like its worked out for you!
AFM: Daz *just* rolled from his back to his tummy! while i was out of the room! haha smart little chicken he is. soon he will take after me he is sneeky but he is far too tacktful (haha people tell me im as sneaky as an atomic bomb, with just as much tact LOL) Ohh and i got A/F :dance: haha never thought i'd be happy bout it though! haha...give it till next one and i'll be over it again! :P Ohh Peach i've PM'd you...
-
ooo its been quiet!
went out to a mums and bubs movie today. it was good. minus the fact they didnt turn down the sound (it was the proposal..) and didnt have dimmed lights it was dark! which was cruddy. but daz and i had lunch after it with two other mums from my MG which was nice. we met one of the other MG's girls mum and nanna! i also bought daz some rubbery mat thingys, that's got from a-z on it and they connect and stuff...so now he's rolling over and doing 'situps' he isnt bannging his head on the floor boards!
Speaking of daz Feed time!
hope every one is safe and well!
-
Oh nice Blip- Where did you get the mats from?
We had our mg too, I met them after the movie though. Gorged on sushi and walked around the shops for ages, love my Mummy meet-ups. Best thing I ever did was join mg.. and BB!!
Sterla- When does your mg start??
-
Peach: My MG starts first Monday in July - so pretty soon. I hope mine turns out as good as you girls have had :).
I'm hoping my internet comes on tomorrow so I can update properly. Miss you all!

sterla: aww i know i miss you too LOL. hows oli liking ruleing...i mean...living in the new house?

Hey Ladies,
Quick update for me, Sammy has slept through til 5am for the last 2 nights! BLISS!!!!! The solids are still going well and she is rolling all over the shop. Her teething has been pretty painful though poor poppet. We went out for dinner 2 night ago with friends and had to leave the minute we were done as Sam would not settle. Dh took her out for a quick walk in the pram (that ALWAYS works) and I ended up having to go outside and pick her up as she just wouldn't settle in daddy's arm. DH said it was the 1st time it actually made him teary and completely useless. She stopped crying within 5 seconds in my arms...just needed some mummy loving. We are going out again tonight, so hopefully better luck this time around.
Am off to the office to show off Sammy again, so better get showering!
-
moose: YaY for sammy sleeping though! that must be nice! aww poor daddy moose! i hope he gets his daddy confiance back! my DH has had that happen to him with daz too!
Sterla: hows the house? got the interweb back? hows oli?
Peach: hows things travling for you?
Anthiea: how you holding up darl?
'bow you gone MIA have you? :P
AFM: im bloody sick! grr. DH had a 'flu' as such (i call it a bad cold, but what do i know :rolleyes: )so i have a cough. well make that a bark. but sadly mummy-dom has no 'sick leave' esp since daz wont take bottles from any one but me! (DH has tried but he screams...and im not willing to let my Mum try and i think MIL would get a sore arm after a few moments! haha) so 'sick leave' may be possable with solids...but untill then...its not! we're going to a 40th birthday saterday hopefully im better by then...if not i'll be one sick little hippy (its a theamed b'day)
I better go...DH is *attempting* to bath daz...this may end in tears...or bubbls all over the bathroom...or worse...BOTH lol
