Babies born~March 1st-15th 2008 #10

Thanks Guys, she is having a great day! Up really early as DH had to leave at 7am for work and he wanted to see her reaction to her cubby house, which she clearly loves. she was difficult to wake, but when she heard the word presents she was sitting up in a flash!

Dh spent 2 hours putting the house together last night, it was such a bargin, $200 reduced from $500, comes with a solar panel that makes little toys work and is to demonstrate solar power, also recycling bins and a weather vain. so cute :)

Cant believe it was 2 years ago!

wow! what a great present!!! where did you get it from. she's going love playing in it and not want to come inside the house!

Hi guys. I'm back. Had a makeover :)
& I look so awesome! (Skye in case your wondering...lol)

you look hot!!
hope no one was stalking you or pretending to be you

Yeah, well, kinda.
Going through my profile & reading my posts anyway. Just being careful.

arrgh! good move!

Oh no skye what happened??

Skye you look beautiful and I'm going to have to get used to that name too. HOpe everything is ok

Summer is Dora the Explorer obsessed it has become a really bad problem haha no i'm not joking it is the first thing she sais when her eyes open in the morning and the last thing she sais at night she is having major tanty's if she doesn't get to watch it all day every day hmmm never had a child so obsessed with anything before it isn't fun. She doesn't want to do anything but watch Dora

Anybody else have any obsessed children???

LOl trina, i change the channel w dora, she annoys me..

Lakshman is still car, train,truck, plane crazy. he only gets some tv in the evening after day care as we prepare his dinner etc. and some extra on the weekends. but it's cars etc all the time. when we are driving, and he has to have his car pyjamas, and when we go out, he has to bring his little cars along.

the other night, we heard him cry out really loud in his sleep. he was crying away and i got a scare but the he said "my carrrrrr" LOL. he must have had a nightmare that someone took his car. haah

Jesse's right into Wiggles at the moment. He loves Dora too, thanks to Bri, but Wiggles are the fave & the only way he'll go to sleep at the moment. Diving me nuts. The last few nights he's been up til after midnight. Now I take him to bed, shut the door so he can't get out & lay in bed with the Wiggles or Hi 5 on. I'm asleep before him every night.

He's off the boob now, but still isn't 100% ok with it. This morning he woke at about 7, rolled over, pulled one out & laid there with a hand on it & his jaw going as if he was drinking til he went back to sleep. He doesn't need to do that all the time, but he needs to touch them for comfort alot.
3 weeks later he still asks to drink them on occasion, but he's getting there.

Best get these kids out the door.

i'm weaning lakshman now, he doesnt really need it anymore. i only feed him before bed so it's become a comfort thing for him.

Yeah, its comfort for Jesse too. Which is making it a bit harder for me to refuse coz it was my way of stopping tantrums & getting him to sleep when he was refusing & stuff.
I couldn't feed any longer it was too painful & the expectations that now I'm pregnant I have to stop just got too much. It was bad enough before I fell pg. I only had one person say that I may as well just keep going now. I have friends here who are supportive too & wouldn't say anything either way, its the family that was getting too much.

This time though, he didn't protest as much, so even though he wasn't completely ready, he was more ready & more accepting than he was the last 2 times I tried to wean. If he asks to drink it now, its usually just to stir me up, lol. Most of the time.

yeah, i understand it being hard to stop. he used to fall asleep easier while feeding and sometimes would ask. but lately he seems to be better falling asleep without the boob, and steve put him to bed yest with no problems.
so hopefully he wont be boob dependent anymore. my ob advised it might be better to stop feeding now.
well, they are getting too sensitive and all of his teeth really hurt!

hope things are ok on your personal life front.. xoxoxx

Mj Has started to selp wean. it was only before bed here too, but we moved it to the lounge room and then went to the bed room for stoies then a wee and put a nappy on then into bed.
Last Friday she told me that it wasnt working and had to suck quite a bit to start the flow (she didnt have a feed the night before as she was with Mum) She has also only been feeding from the left side for at least 5-6 months.
Over the past week she has refused a feed, just going off to her bedroom when it was offered and grabbing her books out.
So it has been nearly a week, i have offered every night verbally, but she has refused, part of it was that she didnt want to go to bed i think. It will be interesting to see what she does tonight and over the weekend.
Glad that she has done it this way instead of me stopping her. My aim was 2 years, so we have made it :)

Trina - MJ had an obsession with Elmo for several months, she would ask to watch it EVERY day, she carried her elmo toy and just talked about him continually. Eventually i decided that it wasnt such a bad thing for her to have some down time in the afternoon, so i would put it on for her when i would cook dinner. She ended up watching and playing at the same time, but would wander in and out and would end up helping me cook most nights anyway.
She has stoped asking so much now, i guess it was just a favourite thing to do at the time... no solution really, but i guess it wasnt an issue to have the TV on for 45 minutes so she grew out of it, if she had to ask all the time and only rarely got to watch, maybe it would have taken longer? dunno

Looking forward to the long weekend, i am hoping that DH doesnt have to work much, yesterday he worked 8am-4am totally stupid,m he is over it, so am i and everyone misses him.
We cant sell his business soon enough imo!

Elmo, lol. Jesse loves him too & has a Cookie monster toy that comes everywhere with us. His only real obsession though is motorbikes.
He will sit & watch motorcross for hours! Would love to take him to Crusty Deamons in Coffs, but doubt we'll have the money for it.

yeap, SJ - we made it to 2 years too. cant believe it!!

yeah, it's the same, Lakshman says he wants to watch "Whooweee" Roary but after a while he gets bored and goes and plays his toys. we record it on our PVR so it's in 10 min shows. that way when it ends, depending how many we let him watch, normally abt 2 or 3 (Roary or Thomas) and if he doesnt stop watching and go play. We wait till the end of the recording and say "roary's gone to bed, he's tired from all the driving around"

Hey Prama a huge congrats for making it to 2 years, if someone would have told you that you would make it here in your first few weeks i am not sure if you would have believed it. You should be so proud of yourself, you went through so much to get here... everyone else's BF achievement to get this far is also fantatic, but you did it so tough in the begining, so many people would have given up, but you kept going!
Well done :clap:

Whats a PVR? i think you have told me before but i forget!

sammie - i still remember that email you sent me at the very start, that gave me a lot of strength. it meant a lot to me. i couldnt have done it with you all believing in me.
i really hope this time around it's a bit easier.

PVR - is personal video recorder. Austar's Mystar and Foxtel's IQ boxes allow you to record programs into their boxes. We have an Austar Mystar, only cos I work for them and I get the services and the box for free..

Jazz is Dora, Thomas & ITNG obsessed.
I've just bought most of the supplies for her party (and boy will I be in trouble for the amount I spent). Her cake is a mix of pink vanilla cupcakes and chocolate thomas cupcakes. We'll play "pin the horn on the unicorn" which is a Dora themed game and I've got stuff for treasure hunt. I also found some cute animal shaped plates so I got all turtle ones for the kids. Also got some party hats and of course the party bags. So much for me saying to Matt "It wont cost much coz it's only afternoon tea" I've spent about $100! (oops) And I was planning to get a bit more too.

We're just having a BBQ at the park for Jesse. Can't afford anything more.
I'm making him a cake, but will try to get an elmo or cookie monster picture to go on top.

park sounds great!
we had a small one too at steve's mums. we decided not to have a party every year, just some birthdays. we think a birthday should be a novelty and we dont want him to expect a party every year. he also had a celebration at day care with all his friends so that would have been fun.
i should put up the pic of the car cake steve's mum and i made

Happy 2nd birthday to my beautiful Jacinta.

Preparing for her party which we're having tomorrow.

Happy birthday to Jazz for yesterday Danni.

I'm not too worried guys. Call me whatever. All my info is changed & I don't think these threads show up on google.
We didn't get to the park. Too tired, & Jesse was in a bad mood after his nap. Grandma came over & gave him a truck, that pepped him up a fair bit.
I made a monster truck cake. Its not great, but it does resemble something like a truck, lol. I'll put pics on FB later.
Highlight of his day was getting to blow out the candles. He just wanted to do it over & over again, lol.

Anth has a job interview at Woolies in Kempsey tomorrow. Praying he gets it. Its sposed to only be 12 hours casual a week, nightfill, which won't leave a huge amount after petrol, but anything is better than nothing & hopefully the hours will go up later.

Glad all is ok Prama, & have been thinking of you Trina xx
