Nicole - Just added your details to the birth list :)
Also just realised that I missed Kat, Bridg and Cathy in my persies. Sorry ladies! I promise I'll do persies for you soon, but Kyson is stirring for his 11pm(ish) feed, so I better run :)
woo hoo! i get points too!
i should be watching this movie, but i'm over it now. shoud go to bed - but then DH will come with me and not watch the end of the movie and i'll be subjected to it tomorrow
ah well - BB chat and maybe play with some photos...
Thanks Krystie my bubba is on the list!!
BG, must be a great movie hey :ROFL:
Maybe just say you’re going to the ladies and sneak off to bed by the time DH realises that you didn’t return to that fantastic movie it will be over :dance:
not a bad movie (dark knight) but not my choice of viewing for tonight - i wanted to watch something a bit light and fun!
Hi everyone
Had a strange couple of days here, Friday evening CJ wouldn't settle for the night for 3 hours!! That is unheard of here, I said to DH was the worst evening have had with her ever! Not sure what the issue is/was she seems to be deciding that she doesn't want to go to sleep and spends all time on the boob grunting to keep herself awake! Last night was much better only half an hour (normally I feed, hold her up right while count to 60, she wakes puts thumb in and then I put her down) but I had to sit in her room with her. The other weird thing was I leaked loads of milk last night, I haven't leaked in ages - so seems like suddenly yesterday boobs made more milk - hot weather maybe?
This morning nap she grunted for about 15 mins before dropping off to sleep - is weird because isn't crying just appears to be making a concious effort not to go to sleep. Maybe she is having the 5/6 month sleep regression late?
Had an excellent time at beach yesterday though, we got there at 9:15 and left by 11:30 so we got a great spot and was nice a quiet and marginally cooler. Followed by lunch then a trip to some vineyards on the peninsula as our wine cupboard was down to only two bottles (I like to always buy from cellar door so we just make a couple of trips every now and again to stock up (stocked up for us is about 10 bottles as we don't really drink much at home on our own - apart from this week when we watched Oz and James May Californian wine adventure and watching them drink wine we had to open a bottle)).
Nicole - a friend had one of those TT food things, she said her DD only liked to chew on the plastic bit and not the mesh! I had been tempted to get one but CJ only likes to chew on hard things at moment (probably her two teeth that are through) so figured she would prob be the same. I like BG am doing BLS but sometimes CJ just needs to get the taste of something on her tongue before will actually put in her mouth so thought that might work.
Vic: Loving the sound of your day trip! Sorry to hear CJ's been a little unsettled. Perhaps she's learning some new thing or other, or maybe she's getting some more teeth... Who can say. Maybe as she's such a socialite she's realising that she will miss something if she goes off to sleep so is becoming reluctant? I didn't think that happened until later, but miss Cerys is a very social little girl...
BG: Had to LOL @ your movie escapades. DH was keen to watch a movie the other night and I just couldn't do it. I knew that was valuable BB and/or sleeping time, LOL! My, how my life has changed ;)
Nicole: I have found that giving more liquid helps Phoebe's poo to soften. Sometimes I forget to offer her the breast or water (cause she doesn't seem to mind either way) but it makes a difference if I do give her more drinks. I have heard about those mesh bags but haven't seen them before. Don't think I'd bother here as Phoebe is quite keen on finger foods and as long as I try my hardest not to panic when she gags (which is happening less these days, thank heavens) she does pretty well for herself.
Krystie: Yeah, breast refusal feels completely crap. We had two nights of it, then she was fine for two nights. Then we had last night which was a strange one... she did refuse one feed but I think that was mainly because I had hurriedly put her back to bed before she was finished her feed earlier (I heard Natty was awake and crying so I was hurrying to get to her) and she was very sleepy but still a little bit hungry or something. Anyway, I made up a bottle because I was sooooooo knackered having been up with her, then to Natty, then back to her with no sleep in between! So didn't push the point. Weird though, because since the first breast refusal I hadn't given her a bottle. They have a pretty good memory these days obviously.
Kyson sounds like such a little darling! I can relate to being blessed, though the past couple of weeks I have found it hard to be joyful.
Had a party last night and the girls were just all over the place afterwards. No more late nights for the forseeable future though, so that's a relief. (Again, how my life has changed! LOL!) We have been hanging out with some friends who are back home for a while from PNG. It has been great to catch up with them again. They have four kids and the youngest is a couple of months younger than Natty and they've been getting on like a house on fire.
Phoebe is certainly more of a charmer than Natty was as a bub. She is quite comfortable with strangers and is very smiley and happy for the most part. She's a joy of a kid, really. I am finding the nights a little bit taxing, particularly with the prospect of having to go to a paid job in the near future (hopefully!). I hope I can keep my head about me.
I must get stuck into some housework tomorrow while Natty's at kindy. This place is an absolute bomb blast! If I am on here at all tomorrow you must all hassle me into getting off again and getting busy, LOL!
Hi Girls.
I'm still here. Just been really busy, so haven't had time to sit down and post. I however, have been lurking.
hey everybody :)
Hi Ladies,
Back from Perth, we had a blast, Bailey was an awesome traveller and although he is still on Perth time, its great as I got a sleep in this morning LOL. It only took him a day to adjust to Perth time (2.5 hrs behind) so it should take him the same to adjust back. We met my brothers girlfriend Jen, who is awesome - I love her, I hope Simon stays with her forever hehehehehe!
Nicole - we have a Sassy mesh feeder, I didn't do BLS as Bailey started solids a week shy of 5 months so his coordination at that point was pretty poor but spoon feeding definately suits us, we are just starting finger foods atm - eg toast, rusks etc and its going well. I have use the feeder with mixed success, have found the best thing to put in there is watermelon as if I give Bailey a piece of it currently he shoves the whole thing in his mouth in excitement and chokes, where as he can happily suck all the watermelon juice with the feeder, all other fruits I tend to spoon feed him in a lumpy consistency but having said that I will soon be introducing some pieces of fruit to see how he goes. He is a hoover when it comes to food (much like his mother lol) so he will sometimes just shove it in if I dont force him to pace himself, he can spoon feed himself though (very messily though hahahahaha)
Amy - no troubles with the metal detector, I was able to take Bailey through in Adel and Perth in the baby carrier and he didn't even set the metal detector off which was good. The brace bar is made of that lightweight titanium stuff (like all the modern prams) so I guess it just didn't have enough metal in it to register.
Vic - Hope CJ has settled for you again mate, poor little mite
Will be back for more persies later, I have a million things to do today, hope everyone else is well.
Just a quick question, Bailey has been doing this weird thing where sometimes he is pushing his poo's out so hard (even if they are soft) that sometimes he has a little spew at the same time - is that something I should worry about? He's always been quite a dramatic poo-er, from birth, but now that he is sitting up constantly I have noticed the little spew thing (its only a tiny posset bit of milk, sometimes bigger if he has a massive poo LOL), sorry for the TMI. Anyway, unsure if its relatively normal or whether I should take him to the GP
Naomi
if he has a weak valve (as E does) any pressure he is putting on himself may cause some possetting Naomi. E sometimes does the same - esp if she's sitting up!
nice Av J!
yeah i know i finally had the money to get plat membership lol its exactly wat i asked for and jamie will look like that as soon as he has his haircut lol
i like urs naomi wat a cute little rock star lol :)
jamie is a guts i feed him 3 meals a day plus his bottles and he still eats bickies in between hes crawling now and hes finally ventured into the kitchen toys dont really interest him anymore gotta find something else
I know, I shouldn't be on here, LOL! I am happy with outside and the loungeroom and the kitchen... just didn't make it to the bathrooms today. They can wait- Phoebe is having a lovely sleep and I'd like to have a little bit of time to chill :)
Bridg: Hi babe :)
Jacinta: Rowr, honey. Love the avvy.
Naomi: Glad you enjoyed your trip! Dunno about the spew thing...? But I do know that it doesn't take much to make a little person spew, so I personally wouldn't be too worried and would probably just mention it at the next MCHN appt. But you know him best, so if it's worrying you then there's absolutely no harm in seeing the doc about it.
Phoebe's poo worries are no longer worries. The last couple of mornings she's done "grown-up" poo like Natty's, LOL! About the same quantity as well :rolleyes: She's a big eater, this one. I wonder if it will change when she gets to toddling age...
Phoebe's night sleep is really turning a bit crappy. I am sure I should be stricter with her daytime routine and establish a better bedtime routine (without the feeding to sleep), but I swear I haven't the energy. I think I am going to just see how we go. Last night she went to bed at 7:30, woke at 8:30ish and took close to an hour to settle back to sleep. Then she woke at 11:30, 3:30 and 6:30. I would be ok with it if she'd not woken at 11:30! That one nearly killed me cause I'd only been asleep about an hour and a half.
She is still rocking on hands and knees with no real sign of crawling. If I put something just out of her reach she will just plop down on her belly and reach out for it, LOL! Funny thing. I am hoping that she is going to start crawling soon and that will be the reason for the night waking and then she'll go back to one or two wake-ups a night at the most... Yeah, I'm dreaming, LOL!
Hope everyone else is well. xx
J - I didn't realise my new Avi was up till you mentioned it LOL, I LOVE IT :) Yours is cool!!!
i didn't notice yours either Naomi! lookin good!
Amy - E is really unsettled and doing the rocking thing - maybe it is related. hope both our poppets realise sleep is necessary soon! not that i can complain - e went down at 9 last night, dream feed at 10.45, feed at 1.30 and then 6ish (i think) - then slept til half nine - so did DH and I! oops!
BG/Amy - Cheers re the posseting info, good to hear its normal, he's only been upset by it once as he was a bit phlemy at the time so had everything coming out of nose/mouth so I'll just leave it for now unless starts to worry us
J & Naomi - Love the new avvi's
Well I am still not dressed and have spent most of the day in bed (CJ doesn't mind playtime on the bed so am lucky) - I went out to moonlight cinema with some friends last night while DH babysat but didn't get home till gone midnight and then was up cleaning poo at 6:00am (I have been telling CJ I wanted her to poo as had been quite a few days and has followed instructions starting with on the picnic mat yesterday lunchtime and then several more times since). I only had two glasses of wine but normally we go to bed at 9:30 so has really hit me today - enjoyed the cinema though so was worth it.
Oh before I go try and assemble myself into some sort of order when CJ pooed on the picnic mat yesterday we cleaned it up and put stuff in a disposable nappy bag - which DH then put in the bin. A couple of hours later I realised he had put the bumgenius cloth nappy in the bag and that was in the bin too!! Nooooo. So right before went to cinema had to drive back to park where had lunch and find the bag in the bin!! Was right on top so wasn't too bad, no way was I throwing away one of those nappies without trying to get it back.
