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 :(
i will catch up again when i finally get bella to sleep!!!!!
love to all xxxx
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!
With the laughing... i have found a way to make him laugh! I tickle him under his chin and he giggles and snorts, sooo cute!
Anthea... you have a secret.???? hmmm do tell.......!!!!!
lol not really. I just didnt know what to put and thought it sounded mysterious!
it is very mysterious... but i like it ;)
good evening ladies {/evil vampire voice} :lol:
Moose: : pinkcheer: yay for sammys waight gain! you're doing a shagadelic job!
sterla: :bluecheer: YaY on Oli's rolling. i saw the vid on FB - with sound! it was soo cute! and hearing you get all excited made it better (and me feel better for all the "OMG's" i've done in a high pitch voice too LOL! how exciteing moving into your own place! that'd be soo interesting with Oli in toe! havent had any more explodeing poo nappys?
Peach: thats one thing i look forward to - the first party that DH, daz and i get to go to...just to dress daz up! lol. glad to hear you had a good minni holiday!
anthiea: aww bug sqwishy hugs. i hope your bronchitis clears up. you DO totaly deserve a brake! i'm sending you healing vibes! ooo what is it your hideing ay? is this the supprise you've taunted us with before?
AFM: been ok the last few days. daz is now 50/50 emb and formular. i feel bad. but at the same time i couldnt keep up expressing every 2 to 3 hours doing it this way i express 4 or 5 times aday (today was bad with only 3!) and not worry about trying to work out how much formular to give! i feel bad but...i guess i know he's getting some good boobie juice and im not stressing about things. made an appt. for the paed. not till august (earlyest i could get in) and i dont care! haha! im only going to hush some people up. 'cus just between your selfs, me and that scary looking stalker...the paeds i've seen have been useless! i know more about my son then they do! hell i know where he should be on the charts! but right now...charts mean jack all. he's happy and healthy and as my MIL said tonight "since when is raseing a child all about figers? i thought they needed to be happy, healthy, safe and loved...as long as they are a little chubby who cares about the waight?" AAAAAnd in other news DH and i are starting to look for a new car for me. my muchly loved ignis is too small. and DH is all :s about me getting into a car crash and having some one run up the bum of my car...as my car has NO boot on it...it'll struggle to take the blow...and with daz in the back...but i dont need talking into it! i need some space for Daz's stuff PLUS we want another one (or two if i have my way ;) ) and we'll need a bigger car then...and i want to feel good about driving it...before i get baby brain...again (well i question if i ever lost it! haha) so we're going to start looking now (well i am!) and see what happens in the next 6 months...i better go to bed before my eyes fall out of my head!
g'night my lovely ladies!
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 :)
peach: im glad im not the only one feeling...un sexy! and i think DTD is part of a good relationship. a guy DH works with is having marrange conceling becuase of the lack of DTD (along with other things) but he's also having an affair DH and i think due to the fact he's not DTD with her that much (as in less then once a month :o ) so DH and i talked about how important it is. beucase we dont want to go down that road!
DH and i have also desided that we're going to look at cars and hopefully buy one next finaceal year (so next month or so) i've just got to work out if i want a wagon or sidan...im thinking ford felcon wagon. i saw a really nice one on car sales...but it looked too much like my much disliked BIL (who i'd happily beat with a stick :lol: )...hopefully we'll find a good one... :shh: dont tell DH but i think i want a new(er) car...having thought about it...but :shh: dont tell him!
in other news those who where in the belly buddies grp do you rember a friend of mine had her bub at 33+1weeks? well her little man is back in hospital with pressure on the brain. went to the local hossy (where be both birthed our boys) they sent her home and told her to give him pandol...she took him to the RCH melb...and he had to have a stunt? stint? any way...i tube put in his head to drain fluid! she called me rather upset..i was in shock (having just told my mum he was going ok!) so please send some healing vibes to her!
Hi everyone :)
Raver: Welcome back! Glad to see you're still about and doing well.
Antheia: You really are having the worst run these days aren't you!?! :hug: Feel better soon. I'm glad that Orson is starting to feel better at the very least. How cool about Orson laughing and snorting!!!
Moose: How are you and Sammy going? Is she still waking for an extra feed during the night?
Blip: Don't feel bad about Daz being on 50/50 EBM and formula. He's still getting the goodness from your booby juice! Expressing full time sounds like a lot of time and work, so you're doing fantastically to keep doing what you're doing (do you think I said 'doing' enough in that sentence? lol)
Mmm, as for feeling sexy again... well, TBH it's been awhile since I've felt 'sexy'. DH and I still haven't DTD'd very much yet, but the few times we have , well, it's slowly getting better. I guess we need to remember that it has only been 3-4 months since we had babies - it's a huge life changing event, so it takes awhile for everything to settle down. I mean, I only just started reading books again, because I now feel like I have enough time to myself to be able to relax like that. Not quite the same as DTD, lol, but do you get what I mean?
Huge healing vibes to your friend's bub! :hug:
Peach: How is Winter going with teething? Oh, and what is this with amber teething necklaces? I'd never heard of them until recently?
That's sad about your MG ending. Do you think your group will organise regular meet ups? I still have over a month till my MG starts... it's ridiculous how long I have to wait for one to start!
Go Winter :cheer: with your weight gain and growing! That's impressive! :D
AFM: Oliver and I are good. He's rolled over a few times each day since he first rolled. He's not always successful though - I can see him working so hard to do it, but sometimes it just doesn't happen, poor little guy.
DH, my Dad and MIL are over at the new house yesterday and today working away. Ceiling painting is starting today. I've been making lunch for them and taking it over to keep them going... and Oliver gets to have another look around his new home :). I've also been trying to pack while Oliver sleeps, which is going okay.
Has anyone else had any panic-stricken dreams involving their bubs? I keep having dreams where I'm somewhere (usually at shopping centre), and I all of a sudden realise I don't have Oliver with me. I've had a similar version of the same dream three times now. Usually I realise I've left Oliver in the car, panic and run back to get him. The panic I feel in the dream is so overwhelming, and I always feel awful when I wake up. I usually have to check on Oliver afterwards to make sure he's there. Of course I'd never do it in real life, but still, those dreams aren't fun :(.
I hope everyone is having a great day!
