so baby girl is sick at the moment (gastro?) and I went to a new medical centre. The receptionist gave me the usual first time form to fill out and asked me to sit down. I said that was fine I'll stand and fill it out because if I sit down baby girl will grab at it etc no big deal. She then says "well, I'd offer to hold her but I"m not a baby person". WTF? I didn't ask or even alude to wanting her to hold her and I even said that I wouldn't have accepted her offer because she is sick so why would I get someone else to hold her. Then another receptionist comes up and the first said to her 'oh I just told her that I would have offered to hold the baby but because I"m not a baby person I wouldn't' and the other woman says "I'm not a baby person either so I wouldn't have offered either'... HELLO??? a) am I invisible? and b) what is the point of saying such things?? I didn't want them to hold her for crying out loud. sorry, no point to the post other than to have a complete ***** about them!!
oh and we gave her the smallest of home made pancakes on the weekend and she only munched on a quarter of it and ended up with a red rash around her mouth. Not sure what the heck I was thinking considering it has eggs and cows milk in it. stupid mummy moment for sure! (DH also encouraged the offering so I blame him too lol). the rash disappeared shortly afterwards thank goodness!
Aww all our other replies got lost..... How is everyone?
Were all ok here, a bit stressed financially but the girls are going GREAT.
Z is enjoying her food (hopefully that means when she's weighed next mth the new MCHN wont have anything to worry about), is chatting along and making all sorts of noises, she mumbles dadadad and sometimes i swear mumumum... her and ava have raspberry blowing competitions and spend about 20min giggling at each other.
She's clapping and likes to stand up against the toys now rather than sit down, she's trying to pull herself up but can't quite get there yet.
She still refuses to roll around on the floor she prefers to sit or stand at the toys, i give her belly time but she doesn't look like crawling any time soon.. i'm not too worried ava was the same and started crawling at 10mths, boy i can't wait for that day.. then Z might be less sooky cos she can follow me around.
She's getting better at going to other people but still not 100% if i leave the room if she;s not comfortable, she has 2 teeth now, 1 is through and you can see it clearly, the other just has the tiniest point through.
Well i guess thats enough from me.. hope everyone is well..
ZF: I hope everything is going ok hun. The raspberry blowing is so cute! Josh & Amelia do that all the time.
Amelia is commando crawling, pulling herself up on her knees, not quite getting into a sitting possy by herself yet, gets half way there and looks like she's posing as a swimsuit model She has 1 tooth and another on the way. She's got her very first cold at the moment got it from Josh (as did I), they have both been pretty sick with snotty noses, coughs and gunky eyes and are now on antibiotics She's been breastfeeding extra because she's sick which is a bit tiring. The most scary thing was she had a couple of nosebleeds! Totally freaked me out so I called Health Direct and they said doesn't sound too bad and is most likely due to her nose being all sensitive from the cold and snot. If she keeps spontaneously getting them, then I need to get her checked out. Fingers crossed that's the last we see of a nosebleed.
She is catching up on the weight as well and had a bit of a spurt over the last month. She's 6.53kg a couple of weeks ago and is now back on the chart I can't believe they are growing up so fast! I've started to think about what theme to do her first birthday party! Being on New Years Day, I am hoping to make it a good one!
Eluned - Geez those nosebleeds would have been scary! I hope they dont happen to often and she grows out of it
Illeyena - What a horrible lady! Hope you guys didnt all get gastro.
AFM - DS Is getting tooth number 6, is crawling flat out and pulling himself up on things his latest thing is trying to walk when we are holding him. He is doing well on solids still likes to feed himself so isnt have a great deal unless i spoon feed him some so we have found a happy medium there.
How is everyones little ones on drinking water from a sippy?
Awww ZF-We hope everything works out for you. Your girls are doing beautifully!
Eluned- I hope the colds go fairly quickly and do not get any of you down
Yay Minny- Go little bou go. 6 teeth? WOW!
Well DD2 is not near anything like your little ones. She loves being on her tummy but only goes around in circles. She pushes herself backwards wen she feels like it which isnt often. No teeth here and nowhere near getting onto her knees. I am in no hurry I guess. Having 2 running around will be a battle!
We had our 8 month MCHN visit the other day. She is just over 8kg, average height and a huge head! The MCHN is happy with her development so all good.
Food is going well. She gives most things I give her a go. She wont drink water out of a sippy cup but will out of a bottle and she is fully b/f!
Well that's us. DD1 has the most horrendous tantrums so it can be quite exhausting by the end of the day. I feel like I am in a bit of a rut at the moment too. I have lost myself a little but I am doing an online creative writing course now and are learning to play golf so hopefully that will help.
Sooooo annoyed - I finally got time to post and my post was lost in the server change! Sigh... can't even remember what I wrote now.
We are going well. DS had his six month check up yesterday and is now almost 8.2kg. He is average length and also has a big head! He sits very well and can get around on the floor by pivoting and rolling, and he has just started doing this funny bum jump thing where he jumps along on his bum while sitting! It looks really funny but it works and it gets him where he wants to go so he is pretty happy with himself! I don't think he is even close to crawling yet. He still eats like a champ and is a happy little boy. He still likes one or two night feeds which is a bit of a pain but he sleeps well other than that.
jen - I know the feeling. It can be hard remembering who you were before children and I also find myself feeling 'lost' sometimes. I am glad that you have started doing something for yourself, it is important to do something like that. Sorry to hear about DD1's tanties - we are having a few of those around here too.
Hi everyone else, sorry, no time for any more but I will pop back in again soon
Hi everyone, I have been popping in every now and then but never get to fully catch up before I have to go and do something else or fall asleep at night cause I am so tired.
I'm going to try and catch up properly now while Maddie is in her Jolly Jumper but sometimes she is happy in there for ages and other times she gets bored so we'll see how we go, lol.
We are going OK apart from some teething troubles. We had 3 weeks where she was waking multiple times in the night, I finally started giving her nurofen and Brauers teething relief and that helped a lot but I didnt want to give her drugs all the time so I got an Amber teething necklace as well. The first night she wore it she slept all night without waking at all and was sooooo happy the next day I thought they must be magic but the next night she woke again a couple of times but she did resettle herself quite quickly which was good. I think tonight will be night 4 and the last 3 nights have been the best we have had in the last 3 weeks but the teeth are also fully through the gums now so not sure if it was the necklace or if we were already past the worst of it but hey the necklace looks cute on her.
