Anthiea : how are you love? how are your kiddies? i have a question for you - when babys teeth do the teeth look like little white dot on the gum that feel hard? or is it really just vermix under there (like a MCHN told me?)
AFM: busy busy day for daz and i! had a Gp appt thismorning and im starting to not like my GP. i tried talking to him about what happend in hospital RE the failure to thrive. he told me 'take some time out for your self. got to a coffee shop and have coffee" :wall: that helps...NOT! i guess i wanted him to be able to tell me if the crud i had running though my head last weekend was normal or not...but NOPE dismissed again... then to medicare for some other stuff. bonus - it was quiet! :dance: then quick pit stop at homeand off to MG (nice and early to feed darren so he didnt spew in the car!)had MG we've arranged to keep it going every other week at peoples places which is nice! then i had a MCHN appt that i forgot about. but im happy daz is now 5.790kg :D and 61cm long. it was also a differant MCHN. but im waiting untill friday to call the dietion 'cus im going to see the LC on friday, so i want his waight taken from there - as they're scales have been used more often and seem to be a little more...correct!(plus it means a little more time to put on some waight aaaaaaand work out the perfict 'nah-nah-nah-nah DARREN IS FINE EAT THE PROVERBAL AND DIE!' speech for one phone) got home from MG, darren was alseep...untill i took him out of the car. had a snooze between 6 and 6:45 which was good then was reeeeeeeeeeeeaaly cranky. he then settled on DH...then DH wanted to go to bed...so i spent the next hour trying to settle him down, i even gave him some brauer's colic stuff...another 20mins after that and he took another 100mls of milk and went off, but i expect him to wake up around 12 for a feed (he's had a refuxy day the poor thing) and tomorrow i hope to clean the house up and maybe even do the shopping...friday is the LC aaaaand saterday...was...something something...woo mummy brain strikes again! haha...im going togo and make a *hot* drink and hopeufully have it *hot* haha
hope every one has a wonderful thursday!

In my experience teeth look like white lines under the gum (so youre seeing the top of the tooth) and also just before you see the tooth the gum looks pale white and hard. Orson has a white spot on his gum that is hard, but it isn't a tooth. I've no idea what it is, all my kids have had it. When its a tooth you'll know it. They usually start to teethe around 5-6months but sometimes earlier. (DD started at 3mths that is when i first could see it under the gum but it didnt erupt until 7mnths. It was a long and painful 4 months let me tell you!)
What exactly happened at the hospital that you want to complain about? (i must have missed this bit)
AFM: We had a very good breastfeeding day! Only one feed was there screaming and in the end he BF anyway :D
-
ahh thanks anthiea - a river of wisdom you are! as for hospital - what didnt happen is the question! its in my blog if you want the full story lol.

Hiya yummy mummies,
how is everyone this morning? We had a bit of a rough night here. Sammy had problems going to bed last night, was up at 2am after she did a massive poo ( not liking what formula does to her poos I'm afraid, it reeks and is more solid!!), took til 3 to get back to sleep then up again at 6am... and was also possibly up around 5 its all a blur. She went back for a bit of sleep til about 6:25 and is asleep now. DH was like WOW that was rough ( cause he got up and did the 2-3am shift for the 1st time) and is still sleeping mind you :) At least, he is not going to work today as he is off sick (final day before he goes back to work) but makes me giggle because I don't know how many time I've done it and it's like "yeah, been there and done that"
Had Mg yesterday which was good, a very nice group of mums we have and I really enjoy getting out. The weather this week has been shocking and with us having colds, I haven;t been out for my walks in about a week and I really miss it. today is looking just as gloomy :( Dh even commented on how grouchy I've been in the last 3-4 days and I think its because all 3 of us have been cooped up in here for a week with minimal time apart and sick on top of that! LOL We are also in the middle of getting plans & design to build a house sorted and its doing our head in!! so much to learn and do when you are building.
Blip: About your GP...just write the letter love, don't ask for anyone else's advice and do it. Alternatively, you could always make an appointment with someone in the hospital (that handles complaint ) and have a a face to face with them. Glad your MG is going good too, it'd be nice to meet at other mums place but for us too many of us live in units and can't handle 9 prams!! Poor little Daz having a refluxy day..awww hope he feels better today. and YAY on Medicare not having lines, that IS always a bonus!
Sterla: have you started packing yet?? When is the big day you are moving in? Dh saw Oli' picture yesterday and thought it was hilarious! Are you still getting laughs when you do Peek-a-boo? i blew a raspberry on Sam;s tummy 2 nights ago and got a real "reaction"laugh for the 1st time. She laughed before but not as a reaction to what I as doing. Was awesome but she's been holding them all in since then cheeky bugger.
Peach: Hows everyone in the Peach's household, everyone getting better? Winter still fighting it? As for expressing, I didn't mean to scare you! LOL It all depends on how much milk your boob produces. If you are like sterla and have magic milk boobs, then NO WORRIES but if like me, you just need to plan ahead a bit more. It's REALLY nice to have a night out, make sure you do it!
Antheia: Go Orson!! Good on you for hanging in there with BF! Hope you are feeling better too and for your infinite wisdom about the development of our little sunshines!
Raver: Everything ok?? We miss you :)
Sammy is up now, so better get the mummy hat on and go play with her
have a good one everybody :)

Must learn to write SHORT posts! LOL
-
Hiya ladies!
For some reason I missed that there were new posts all yesterday... I didn't get any notifications. Hopefully I will next time.
Blip: I hope Daz is a bit better today :). How are you?
Jords: How are you and Winter? How was your day in your dressing gown? lol
Moose: That's no good about your rough night. I hope Sammy slept better for you last night. How fantastic that Sammy is laughing for you! Oliver is still laughing when I peek-a-boo. I was doing it today when I was changing him. I held his little jeans up in front of my face, then took them away saying "Boo!". He looks really shocked/surprised for a second, then bursts out with a giggle! He doesn't do it all the time - I think he has to be in the right mood.
And as for packing... um, well, I kind of haven't started yet :redface:. It's such a huge, daunting task that I keep putting it off and putting it off. We get the keys next Wednesday, but won't be moving until either the first or second weekend in June (depending how quickly my DH and helpers can get the painting done). We have a few boxes, so I think I'm going to start packing over the weekend.
Yesterday Oliver and I went to my lil' sister's school for playgroup. I thought Oliver would be the youngest there, but there was actually a 4 week old baby boy there too! Oliver couldn't exactly participate in the activities, as they were more aimed at toddlers, but he still enjoyed looking around at everything there. I think my sister was pretty happy to show Oliver off to her friends too ;).
This morning I went to the Learning Ladder Get Together. There were a few other mums there, all with bubs about 6-8 months old. It was great to see all the other bubs sitting, crawling, trying to stand, etc - I kept thinking, "Gee, Oliver's going to be doing all this soon!". I ended up ordering a few things... a couple of books, a play-centre and some First Words cards for when he's older. It cost more than I'd usually spend, but it's so hard not to spend money on Oliver, lol :lol:.

ello ladies.
sterla - daz is better today not so much chunder! yay for play groups! i rember going to one when i was little...good times all round! and i SO understand about not being able to not spend money on out bubs! but i guess we can spoil them now...
AFM: went to the LC today. made the choice that BFing isnt going to work. darrens too alert for it and gets too upset by it. so im a little down about it. but i guess i tried...wont stop me beating myself up though LOL. other then that things are going ok here...only down side to going to the LC is its in the mat. ward...so seeing all the little babys has me wanting nother one already (mind you i started talking to DH about the 'next one' about a month ago... :redface: )
hope every one is having a good night :D
-
We had to go to the hospital tonight because Orson has lots of green gunk coming out of his ear. Turns out that the pressure build up from the mucus in his sinus(from his cold) has perforated his ear drum! Poor little thing. Makes sense now why he has been so fussy and upset the last few days, he's been in pain :(
-
aww poor orson :comfort: anthiea. i hope you're both ok!
-
Antheia : Oh poor Orson, you must have freaked out seeing green gunk out of his ear! DO you know if his eardrum are damaged forever or will this repair itself with time?
Blip: Great to hear Daz is feeling better and with the BF'ing, honestly darling, so many people would have given up MONTHS ago. Daz is almost 4 months now and only has 2 more months (or maybe even less) before he starts on solids, so you've done a great job! Will you still express or straight formula from now on? AS for baby #2, I actually took a pg test earlier this week as I thought I was getting pg symptoms and because I am not getting any periods, it is possible, but it was a BFN and thats ok, although I think that secretely, it would have been ok to be pg again. We are hoping to wait 18months before trying again so we can enjoy Sammy and our time as a new family.
Sterla: that sounded like a cool thingo you went to and yes, it is very hard not to buy so many things for our bubs. I have to be very careful as we are really watching our money at the mo. W've had 3 friends who had babies recently and I always end up buying something for Sam as well when picking up their pressie! lol
AFM: I got my electric breast pump yesterday and OMG...what a difference!!! I love it! I was able to express 40ml in one go and have not been able to do that ever and its so much more comfortable ( I had an 8 year old manual pump) well worth the investment. Got a pretty quiet week-end ahead of us, I want this stupid rain to STOP, so I can start walking again :( the washing is starting to pile up as well! Okies, better get this house semi-cleaned. Hope everyone has a fantastic week-end!!
Mxx
-
moose: thanks darl. i know people would have given up but it stil feels like a kick in the face KWIM? i'm still expressing...it'll take me a while to give that up. i've fought that hard for this long to keep my supply up...im not going to quit now (i think i'd get v. depressed if i had to stop) as for the preg test i was like that last week too, but i didnt buy one...as i was fine so im thinking maybe low iorn so ive been chowing down the red meat like there is no veggies on earth! as for no a/f becuase you're b/fing and expressing (now) you most likely wont ovulate. so a/f wont come as my health and humdev teacher said "untill the night feed drops A/f wont drop in!"
oo gotta go daz is up!
-
Apparently his ear drum will heal up like new but i have to take him to my GP in about a month just to make sure all is well.
-
Good evening ladies :)
Moose: That's great about your brand-spanking-new breast pump! Must make such a difference! I hope the rain stopped for you.
Blip: That's right, you did try! You've tried and gone through much more than most new mums do, and you've persevered through so so much! Don't feel bad about not b/feeding - celebrate and be proud that you are still giving Daz the best start in life you possibly can with your wonderful booby juice! :clap:
Antheia: Oh poor, poor Orson! That sounds so painful, and how scary for you - the green gunk sounds pretty scary! I hope he's feeling better now, and his ear drum heals well.
Jords: How are you? Haven't heard from you in a few days, hope you're okay :).
AFM: Pretty quiet day here, which is exactly what I was after. Oliver is getting so much better with his tummy time now. He's been lifting up his head really high, and doing it for ages. He's still not close to rolling over, but I can seem him trying a lot more - he doesn't just lie there now. He still tends to get upset after a little while, but it's so much better. I'm not sure what changed, but I'm glad it's better now.
I officially started packing today! I've packed 3 boxes so far... trouble is, once they're packed I don't know where to put them without being in the way :doh:. Oh well - I think life is going to be very cluttered and hectic for the next few weeks!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
-
OMG - the funniest thing happened today!
DH, Oliver and I went to Bunnings to check out paint prices. We were standing at the paint and I was holding Oliver. I heard and felt a big rumble coming from his nappy, but didn't think anything of it... until DH noticed the poo dripping onto the floor! There was poo all over his pants - it had run down his leg, and some on me too! DH wiped the poo off the floor with the spit-up cloth we had with us. Then we took Oliver back to car and had to change him completely. It was all over his leg, but surprisingly not a great deal in the actual nappy :rolleyes: I think most of it ended up on the floor and on his pants! I guess his nappy wasn't on properly, or something :doh:. I couldn't believe it - so funny, and disgusting!!!
-
-
Anthiea - im glad to hear orson will be ok! i hope you'll be ok too.. :hug: you've done fantasic not to freak out like i would have!
haha sterla - i SOOOO understand that feeling of the pooless nappy after a big poo! daz did that on his bouncer...less then an hour after we bought it! how exciteing! how far away is this new house to the one you're in now? when DH and i moved in together the new house was litteraly 2mins away! (a whole 4 streets! :rofl: ) just think the boxs wont be in the way at your new place! and even when its getting painted you'll be able to put them in new house wont you?
AFM: been a semi busy weekend. went to the IL's yesterday for what was ment to be a 'few hours' we ended up there almost all day (thank goodness i bought my pump with me!) becuase DH was helping his dad fix a car up (but stuffed it up more LOL!) today was a quiet one. i think i have a neon sign above my head that says "provoke me, i dare you!" the conversation as follows (S.L = Stupid Lady )
S.L :"oo he looks hungry"
Me: "yeah, i have his bottle in my back pocket all warmed up ready to go!"
S.L "Ohh he doesnt need a bottle..."
me: "uh, yeah, he dose."
S.L "no, hes hungry..he dosnt need a bottle"
Me: "Argh yes he needs abottle i've spent every week for the past almost 4 months at the hospital trying to breast feed and it just wont work. so he needs a bottle!"
after that i stormed off. i feel bad enough for 'giving up' as it is. he still roots around and all...but he just dosent suck...just licks :cry: so i dunno. how do i turn off the neon sign above my head? ...this is after a women on thursday told me not to pick darren up when he was crying at the shops! :wall:
-
Antheia: thats good to hear and I wish Orson a prompt recovery and hope things quiet down at yours a little.
Sterla: thats so cute tummy time is going great for Oli and he will roll over before you know it. LOL at the poo incident..too funny, I gather the shopping trip ended there then once you have poo all over you as well! Well done on starting packing and the more you pack the more room you will have, hope it goes quickly for you.
Blip: My goodness, you just have the worse luck with people.. its almost funny ( but not) I know there is nothing we can say or do that will make you change how ou feel about the breatsfeeding but he is getting BM, thats the most important thing and good on you for sticking to the expressing as well, the motilium is making a difference for me but don;t think I have enough to be able to top him up after each feed. I usually manage to express 60ml per day which is better than what it used to be but still not enough, nevertheless, am not giving up and now that I have electric pump, its a lot easier too. Giving you a bug hug, you're doing a great job!!
Peach" Is everything ok??
AFM: the rain did stop and we;ve been going on walks for the last 2 mornings and it felt great! DH was working nights so I went out for breakfast with Sam whilst daddy was sleeping, it was lovely. had a nice read of the paper with a coffee..just a really nice Sunday morning. We has some friends over for lunch and now about to go have a bit ofa read whilst everyone is having a snooze.
Mxxx

Hi again ladies :D
Blip: Grrr, what a stupid lady! I think we need to develop selective deafness as new mums with the all the unwanted 'advice' we get. I'm so angry for you!
Moose: Glad the rain stopped for you :).
Well, more news from me - big news! Oliver rolled over for the first time this afternoon!!! :bluecheer: Over the past few days he's all of a sudden been really good at lifting his head, and last night I noticed he got really close to rolling over. Then, this afternoon (after the poo incident, lol) he was having some tummy time, and he just rolled over! And the other great thing is that I had my camera phone out videoing him, so we caught it on video! He's only done it the once, but I'm sure he will again and again and again soon enough. I'm so happy and excited and proud! :D
-
Yayyyy oli!!! Thats fantastic!!
-
:bluecheer: Well done oli! :dance: and :clap: for you sterla for getting it on tape!
thanks moose and sterla - people like winding me up...but hate it when i snap back :rolleyes:
moose : dont worry too much about how much you express...dose the pump you have settings on it? like short/hard and longer/sofer pump-suck thingys? have you tried a warm flannel on your boob whilest expressing and/or boob compressions? both of them help me :) how often are you pumping too btw?
-
DAMMITTTT!!!!!!! My piece of crap laptop just died during my SECOND attempt at a reply!
We are alive argh Winter screaming gotta go, be back tommorrow!
-
Does anyone's bubba laugh a lot? Orson has twice and has not done it since. Im kinda worried. He smiles all the time though.
-
HI Everyone!!
Well, I went through some severe withrawals yesterday with BB being down most of the day!
Peach: that's great that you are still alive and well :P Hope your laptop issues are resolved soon * maybe employ the same tactics as the pram with you man!! **Our computer keeps crashing too and its a massive pain in the bum. Hope little Winter is good too
Blip: I set the settings on my pump and usually do 5-5-5-5 or at least 5-5 if time is restrained and I do it after every feed if I am home. I am not going to start taking my pump away with me as I would not have anywhere to store the milk whilst out. I also do not express at the middle of the night feed. I haven't tried the warm flannels on anything like that, might give that a shot today. I set up the rythm of my pump by manually pumping as hard or soft as I want and then press a button and the pump keeps on doing it itself. I still find it hard to express more than 20ml in one go, especially as Sam has been waking up at 1am again this week ( must be a growth spurt) hope that trends goes away soon.
Antheia: Sammy laughs only seldomly as well. She laughed once last week and it took another week before she laughed again and she is a very happy baby smiles a lot. The last couple days though we have been hearing more laughs coming out of her, so hang in there, I'm sure they are coming!! IS Orson feeling better? and what about you, is your sinus infection subsided?
AFM, well as mentioned above Sammy has been waking up at 1am again as well as the usual 4:30am, so am a bit tired but is all good, I know (hope anyway) that it will be over in the next couple days, It does make me wonder whether she is hungry but trust me she went to bed FULL As a boot last night so is most likely a growth spurt. She did the funniest thing this am whilst I was burping her. She would normally just stare ahead or look at her night light on her desk, well this morning she just kept turning towards me, look me straight in the eyes and would give me THE biggest cheeky smile. I didn't want to laugh because I didn't want her to wake up and be awake for the morning ( it was 5am!!) but by the 3rd time, I burst out laughing! It took her forever to fall back asleep after that though. She is just such a cutie, I still fall in love with her evryday. Her weight gain is still going well ( I am sure of it!) but am going to go to get her weighed this morning to see her progress, she is full of rolls and getting quiet chubby. Other than that, we're gonna chill out today and tidy the house up a bit. Been a pretty busy last few days and am not up to doing much. Yesterday, We were supposed to meet with my friend who just has a bub a week ago, but she called me a couple hours earlier and cancelled as she had not slept, her newborn was being difficult and her 18 months old bub was sick with the flu, poor thing sounded terrible and so tired so I made her a spag bolognese and got DH to drop it off to her. She called me and said she cried when she saw it on her porch. I was so glad I got to help her out a bit. Her DH texted us as well saying thanks as he has been sick as well and working all day. It feels so good to be kind to others, best kind of rewards I reckon.
Anyway, enough blabbing, shower time! Hope everyone has a nice day!
-
Sammy is weiging at 5.16 kg (different scales than Dr's) but we are well and truly on recovery road. I had a chat with LC who changed the way I was taking my Moitlium and we are reducing formula feed to 30ml per feed and in a few days, alternate feeds only or mainly evening as this is when my milk is low
So its good news all around!! Yay
-
Grrr!!! I just did a big post and it didn't work - so I'm typing this is notepad and will copy and paste.
I'm so happy BB is working again! I missed it so much!
Peach: Yay, you're still about! I hope you manage to get your post up soon without your laptop (or BB) eating it! Sorry I couldn't stay on MSN for long - I really need to get my DH to fix it on the computer.
Antheia: Don't worry about Orson laughing or not. Oliver doesn't laugh heaps - I can get a giggle out of him most days, but it's only when I'm playing with him and he's really worked up and excited. If Orson is smiling lots it shows he's a happy baby. Maybe he's just a quieter, less excitable bub? How are you? I know you've been having a rough trot lately, so I hope you're okay :hug:.
Moose: Sounds like a growth spurt. I think Oliver had one last week, cause there were a couple of nights in a row where he woke during the night for a feed, then went back to sleeping through. I hope you're not feeling too sleep deprived, but I'm sure it will ease up soon enough :). That was so nice to do that for your friend. As a new mum yourself you know exactly what other new mums need! I know what you mean about the cheeky night time smiles! Oliver will be in his bassinet, will cry, I'll come over to check and he gives me the hugest cheeky grin! It's so hard not to smile back!
How are Blip and Raver doing?
AFM: Oliver has rolled over 5 more times since his first roll on Sunday. He did it once yesterday afternoon, three times yesterday evening, and once so far today when my Dad was visiting! Yes, I'm counting! I'm so over-the-top proud of him! I've added the video of his first roll on FB, so for those of you that I know on FB you can check it out :). You should mute it though, cause my high-pitched over the top excited voice is kind of embarrassing :redface:.
And... DH and I are officially homeowners!!! :bluecheer: :cheer: We thought settlement was tomorrow, but DH just called me to tell me everything is settled and that we can pick up the keys! I can't believe it!!! It will be so nice to go to the house and know that it's ours! Packing is still going rather slowly though - I haven't made any more progress than the three boxes I did over the weekend. Not to worry though, we still have a couple of weeks before we actually move. A big day for us!
Hope everyone else has a super dooper day! :D
-
Moose: That's great about Sammy's weight gain and that everything is coming along :D!
-
Is BB still being a bit funny for anyone else? I can't reply if I click "Quick Reply", but if I go to "Post Reply" it does???
-
Sterla: That's GREAT!! Congrats on owning your own house!!:happyforyou:
As for packing, I am sure you'll get there! Thats awesome that Oli is still rolling, you won;t be able to stop him now and will most likely have to leave him up in his bouncer for a bit before putting him on the mat otherwise they vomit and don't seem to care if their face end up in it too~!LOL You should have a celebratory glass of wine tonight, it's a grand day indeed!
P.s my quick reply works no problem
-
Oh my goodness Ive missed out on so much! And Im such an idiot, just discovered a whole new page of posts when I scrolled down.
Ahem... Hello!
How is everyone? Im going to have to make this breif unfortunately as I will well and truly spit the dummy if I type for 20 mins and my lap top eats another reply!
Moose- That smile session sounds so lovely, I know what you mean when you say you still fall in love with Sammy everyday. I have to remember sometimes to give DP attention as Im always cooing over Winter. Good stuff for Sammy's weight its so good to hear your getting back on track :)
Sterla- WOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I am SO excited for you settling! And woop woop or should I say rock and roll for Oliver? What a smart little monkey rolling around :) And I laughed when I read about his big leak at bunnings heheh.
Antheia- That is so awful about poor Orson's ear :( (Im late I know) Is he getting better? After Winter laughed the first time she didnt laugh again for almost 2 weeks, she giggles maybe every second day, sometimes everyday sometimes not, its different all the time unfortunately.
We are back, havnt been on for so long! Went up to Bundaberg fro my friends wedding on the weekend, drove up friday and back on sunday and had mothers group thursday thats why I havnt been on. Wedding was lovely and was really nice to have our first mini family holiday. Winter was a smash hit at the reception and looked so beautiful in her little dress. She was definately over tired by the time we left though.
DP just getting home from work so gotta run but ill be back a bit later!
Missed you girls!
-
Hey Peach! Welcome back :).
Glad you had a nice time at your friend's wedding, and that Winter was a big hit! How cute in her little dress - aren't new outfits so great with bubs? Everytime I put Oliver in something new I end up taking photos, lol. I bet she would have been tired! Oliver gets tired pretty quickly when we have visitors - I think all those people fighting for their attention gets pretty tiring!
I don't know if I've mentioned yet, but I love your ticker pic of Winter. She's so adorable with her big, dark eyes!
-
HELLOO!
ok yes im back,
things are great thank you all so much for your thoughts and support!!
i did a post with personals today bu my quick reply button AND advanced reply button wasnt working!!!! so i lost the damn post :(

Well i have just been diagnosed with bronchitis. Can i not get a break?
Orson's ear is healing, not so much gunk is coming out anymore, still a bit smelly though, eww!

Good morning :)
How is everyone today? My god Winter has FINALLY gone down for her morning nap after fighting it for almost an hour and a half. Such a little turd :) She has some cradle cap so Ive put some olive oil on her head and I jsut went in to check in on her and our room reeks of extra virgin!
Antheia-FAR OUT what is it with your luck!??! I dont even know what to say! :hug: I hope you get better soon. Oh thats so wonderful you have found a surefire way to get Orson laughing, I love baby giggles!
Blip- Sounds like your MIL hit it right on the head with her comments about weight. As long as Darren is happy and developing well, which it sounds like he is than all is good I reckon. Thats exciting about getting a new car! Bigger is definately better when it comes to family cars I think... when we were looking into buying in Jan I wanted a barina or astra SO bad but Im so glad we ended up with a wagon. It uses a bit more on fuel yes, but I look at little cars now and I really dont think I would feel safe with Bub in the back... basically for the exact same reason as you described.
Sterla-Thank you! I know its funny when everybody want a hold and Bub is tired... I ended up sayin no to a lady at our table when she offered to calm Winter when she was grizzling... And to be honest I feel a bit weird about passing my Bub around with people I dont know.
Raver- Welcome back! Great to hear all is well in your camp :)
Moose- I forgot to say in my last post that I actually like reading your long essay posts!
Oh Has anyone thought of getting an Amber teething necklace for their Bubs? Im looking at getting one for Winter before she starts teething...

hello my lovies! i missed you all! ;)
How are we all?
Daz and i are good. he's *finely* gone down for a nap so this with be a quicky! haha. daz has been good the last few days. where as i've been suffering withdrawls from BB :( even DH said "has something happend to the BB? 'cus your not on the computer and daz is alseep" lol. before i gave daz a bath...and he farted in the bath...then cried cus the bubbles scared him! i was trying not to laugh at him but i couldnt help it, at least it was just air...and not any...*ahem* solids.
Question. with DTD...how do you make yourself feel...i guess...semi sexy agian? cus i'm looking at myself and all i see is 'mummy' not 'sexy-wife-type-look' any more...any one got any ideas? cus i'm missing feeling like that!
I'm running to have a shower before darren wakes up!

Good evening,
A quiet day in our group!
Blip- Thats funny about Darren making himself a mini spa :) As for feeling sexy... I dont really have much advice, Ive pretty much packed my sexy pants away. Pretty bad to be honest. Even with dtd it takes me a while to get into the swing of things(but then find myself in the mood) Its strange, I hope I dont always feel this way as I doo feel bad for DP and it is an important part of any relationship I think. Sorry this is not helpful at all!
How was everyones day?
We had mothers group today, next week is our last one then its up to us to organise regular meetings, Im sad! I really look forward to it each week now and there a a couple of Mums there I really get along with so hopefully everyone will keep it up.
A nutritionist came in today who was a heinz representative. She was lovely, a former midwife so she was very pro make-it-yourself but I must say a few of their products were a bit dodge... just full of sugar. But I did learn some stuff so it was good. Got Fatty weighed- just over 7.1kg and now 66cm so she is growing well and I think will end up tall like her Daddy.
OMG I spotted a tooth coming through today! ARGH!!! So Im in for it soon I think...
Hope everyone is having a good night :)
