heheh thanks, see they even gave jade orange hair hehe
Nat: not sure if you got my msg on FB but theres a WA meetup next week if you go into the WA members thread, would love to meet you!!
Nelly - hun that sounds terrible! And so stressful for you. It hurts to see your kiddies in pain, so that must just be the worst! Hopefully they can get to the bottom of it for you, and things will settle down.
Hi to all!
Just a quick one today. DH leaves for Afghan in 11 days. Am really not sure how I'm feeling. Obviously I'm terrified something will happen, I'm angry that he went back on our agreement not to do any more trips (and he could have not gone on this one), I'm happy for him that he got the trip (because it's something that he really wanted to do regarding career development etc), I'm sad that he won't see Emma for anywhere from 3 to 6 months and I'm not sure that I'll be able to do it on my own. I know other people do all the time, and I have my parents and friends. I just never thought I'd be alone with a baby.
Do you feed your bub as soon as s/he wakes up in the morning or do they have a bit of aplay first??
I cant remember when I stopped feeding Milo immediately, but Oscar seems to not be in too much of a hurry to eat most days when he wakes.
Sarah, I hope you and dh are having some quality time together before he leaves.
Rayray, Tom likes to get straight on the bosom when he wakes up in the morning, and often goes back to sleep there, which suits me fine as he is awake at about 6am! He's actually being really difficult with his feeds at the moment. The world is just too exciting to lie there and have a good drink. He gets out what he needs to stop feeling hungry, and then he's got to be hard at it, playing and grabbing and whatever.
I really, really love this age. Six month old babies are just adorable, so sunny and keen and eager to get on with their little lives. Tom is so charming and inquisitive, he just melts my heart. He's sitting up really well on his own now and trying to creep around a bit when he's on his tummy too. He has such a distinct personality now. He's still not sleeping really well - he's still waking at least twice a night, but I'm kind of used to it. But he settles really well now, you just pop him in his cot and off he goes.
He grabs just everything - you can't stop him when you are trying to change his nappy or feed him or do anything, from grabbing your nose or your hair or your glasses or your clothes or whatever you are trying to read/eat/drink/wear. He's going to be a nightmare when he's mobile!!
Jack isn't desparate for a drink when he first wakes, but that is probably because he has woken for a feed at about 4am so it has taken the edge off. I can't remember with my other boys.
Interesting side not thought, with Oscar and Lewis my older boys, Lewis wakes up and wants breakfast first thing. Oscar needs to wait about 30min til he's hungry they are just different.
Sarah: Hope you are doing OK, must be hard for you knowing DH is going away.
I cant believe its nearly amonth since we wrote anything in here!
Everyone must be as busy with their familes as I am.
Well, Oscar started on rice cereal this week, and if he didnt snatch the sppon out of my hand and shovel it in, LOL.
Hes doing really well, we have an MCHN appt on Monday to see how he is growing etc, mostly cos I wanted to ask some ore qs about solids etc. Im not much for BLS, I know itt works for some people, but its not for me so I wanted to get some more info about what foods when etc.
Im back at work full time which I hate. DH is home with the boys, so far he thinks its easy haha he will change is tune in a week or so when the novelty wears off.
