TMTM - nah not his birthday, one of his friends from playgroup. RE the shampoo. I was the child who, if I was visiting, struck fear in to people and made them lock their bathrooms and laundrys up. At least she used the shampoo - I used to pour any bottles in reach down the drain cos I liked watching it slide down there...and empty laundry detergents on to the floor..
TM - Oscar is grabbing on to things too its cute. Jade seems to be doing really well you must be doing a super job
Thomas doesn't grab stuff much. He sometimes bats things with his hands, and he loves it when you hold his hand, but he still doesn't hold things.
I had a frustrating week last week with Tom and thrush. He has some thrush on his tongue which isn't *really* interfering with his feeding but he's gone off comfort sucking. So I went to the chemist to get some Daktarin or something for it, and the chemist wouldn't give it to me until Tom had been to the doctor, even though it's an over the counter medication. I didn't want to have to make a whole appointment just to have the doc say "yes", but I didn't want to lie either. I mean, it's been a while since I had to use any of it and I couldn't remember how old Genna was when we used it on her. So we had to wait until this morning when dh and I got our whooping cough boosters to ask, and of course the doc said yes.
In the meantime, I've was asking every chemist I pass by to sell me some and they acted like I was trying to buy crack LOL. Anyway, I got it today and started giving it to Tom on his dummy. So hopefully that white tongue will disappear.
Jamie grabs things sort of if its easy to grab IYKWIM and i found he can only roll if hes wearing his pumpkin patch overalls hmmm wonder wat that means? its very strange
had a fabo day today 1st car broke down 70kms from home (we live in the country) and 2nd the hot water service is stuffed up grrrr
TMTM: jade has thrush on her tongue at 3 weeks old, she basically stopped feeding caus it hurt so much, so the nurses at MBU gave her daktarin gel. a good way to do it is after a feed, get a cotton tip, use one end to dry thier tongue, then put a pea size amount of daktarin on the other end and wipe on thier tongue. we did it after every feed and it was gone within a week, she didnt seem to mind the daktarin at all.
Hi ladies, quick one from me... very busy...
Ethan also had oral thrush, I gave him nilstat, they say to swish it but that's hard to tell a baby to do, so I squirt in small amountds and the squirrt water then repeat. but that stuff u use Tatt sounds much easier.
Nelly - sorry the family havent been well. it's so tough isnt it!
Ethan hasnt rolled from his back to his belly since that day, but he has been sick and miserable on and off... Had a rotten night tues night... He had wind and wouldnt settle I was up ALL night and that's no exageration! My fault tho I ate brussell sprouts
My milk started tio reduce a bit from me being so tired and run down so I started the Fenugreek, and my milk increased instantly. Think I might still go see the doc about it tho. My cousin had an issue with her milk and went on prescribed medication and her milk doubled... I would like to see if I can have that too.
Still waiting to see allergy specialist so just a very bland diet till then... Better that then making him ill.
Ethan is playing with toys also, he just loves his pram toy, it's a hard one with things that spin and has a mirror by Lamaze, I want to get another one to put on his swing too... has spins the toys around and grabs at them. not really holding things yet tho. only my clothes or neck chain I'm guessing to prevent me putting him down... lol
He just loves going for walks and cries when we walk back in the door... lol
He too is very chatty but not all the time, when he starts tho he goes for ages... hahaha It's very cute! He's not quite laughing still, very close tho. He makes noises that sound a little bit like a giggle but not quite.... Drooling and chewing a bit too now, I'm wondering if he'll be an early teether.
12 weeks on Sat... time is flying past!
I bought him the cutest outfits yesterday, a little pair of blue pants and a white long sleeved top with owls on it by Sooki baby and som baby blue and brown striped Oobi knitted overalls... they are just the cutest! I love them! I got them in 00 and cant believe they fit him!! (have to roll up the sleeves still but fits nonetheless). He has to wear booties to prevent him kicking his socks off... lol He's always kicking!
Tatt - What TMTM said is so true. That's what happened to me. If XP was to come and take Jade there is nothing allowing you to just take her back. My XP was to have my DS1 age 3 and DS2 age 18mths for 3 hours, I called child support while he had them and they said he was on the other line saying he had the kids full time... Coz he "had" them at the time I couldnt get them back. I went there with federal police and family and I wasn't even allowed to 'see' them let alone take them home! Very confusing for them! I didnt see them for 16 whole days - until the court date was set, my lawyer even had the court date brought forwrd due to the circumstances. I had never spent a night apart from them until that point and it devestated me! I had a nrevous breakdown and almost lost my job! Just as well DH was around (we had just started seeing eachother at this point) or I wouldnt have coped at all. He then said how many days a week he wanted them and what days and got his wish and screwed me over with day care!!
Just cover yourself hun coz the laws wont!
Also with Jad's dummy in the day sleeps, that's normal. babies of this age usually only sleep 30-45 mins at a time during the day with 1hr 45mis - 2hrs awake periods between... That's pretty much what Ethan is still doing.
TMTM - That is too cute about Tom laughing when he's tickled... I cant wait for Ethan to laugh!
And DD with the bubble bath... lol I remember doing that when I was a kid.
And to your question, yes he had the rotavirus vaccine too. So your probably right, it could have also been from the the other week. Coz that can last 7 days cant it.

am banging my head against the wall with Sophia's day sleeps - I keep missing her cues bcos I am busy or ith Jake and then leave it too late. The last few days she has only slept if we have gone somewhere in the car and then for a few hours but not sure what to do here, also am not really in a feed-play-sleep routine bcos my days are still arse about.
ALSO had a serious crap mummy moment tonight and after a very tedious and non sleeping day I lost my temper and yelled at Jake and ended up with all 3 of us in tears, topped off by Jake giving me a big cuddle and "kissing mummy better". farkle not fun at the moment at all.
I thought I had replied to this? hmm
We are having fun with daytime sleeps, not the only time he goes to sleep is if I need to go somewhere in the car, or in the pram. And only sometimes will he stay asleep when I take the capsule out of the car, or if the pram stops moving.
Most nights he gets a decent sleep and then has another in the morning, but sometimes thats it, unless I drive somewhere. Which is OK for him, but means nothing gets done cos I have no time when we are at home.
It is going to start getting worse too, as I will be home alone with the two of them on Wednesday. Up til now Milo has been at creche 3 days a week, and my mum comes over on the other 2, so Im never really on my own with both of the boys. I hope we all survive.
