OMG....quick one!!!
Abbey was just having a kick on a towel on the floor without her nappy....she started gagging (herself I think with her fist....) so I grabbed her up cause she was turning red and I panicked so I started patting her on the back....then...
She chundered up about 100 litres of milk all over me and herself, my black singlet was white......poor thing, it came out of her nose bringing boogers with it as well......then when I was standing there in shock not knowing what to do first she peed all over me......lovely.....
If you wouldve told me 5 years ago that this is what I would be doing now....I would have laughed in your face!!!
Kids hey?
-
If I was with you right now I would be laughing in your face too!!! Hope you cleaned it all up ok, you'd just go in the shower fully clothed - eeewww, did it get in you hair????
-
Ha ha!!! Not in my hair just all over my right arm and down my singlet....Simon walked in from being at the gym to me standing there with a naked baby, me covered in spew and wee plus it all over the floor and JD running around like a lunatic screaming 'Abbey spewed, Abbey spewed' at the top of his lungs!!!! He probably wished he stayed there!
I'm with you on the daycare thing....I wouldnt like my kids being driven around....not so much that the carer is driving but you cant control how others drive and god forbid if they were in an accident or something....just wouldnt forgive myself....and with JD being the way his at the moment with taking off when we are out etc I dont know how anyone would be able to look after 4 other kids in a park as well as him....she'd have to have them all chained up or something!
JD goes to an ABC kindy here and they are pretty good. I like that the centre is all catered for kids and they cant get out, there are no stairs, it's all security and that there are multiple girls looking after him. Sure his shoes get taken home by other kids sometimes or they put the wrong suncream on him but overall it's good. He does loads of arts and crafts, they bake, read, sing songs and teach them things - hell of a lot more than I'd get time to do at home....he goes 2 days a week. I dont think we'll be able to afford it once my maternity leave runs out and I dont really want to pull him out but if it means me staying home cause we have an extra $90 a week then so be it....
Anyway, after the spewing incident all was fine and she was smiling 2 seconds later thank god....she's been rolling over constantly and gets cranky after a while so if I leave her on the floor I have to come back every couple of minutes to roll her back over!!
Still sleeping crappy and I'm still giving her meds for her ear so maybe she will get better after that settles down...fingers crossed cause I'm not coping that well on about 3 hours solid sleep a night....gave her a little bit of Farex tonight...she wasnt so sure about it but I will keep trying, that might make a difference with her sleeping too? I got the banana and pear flavoured one instead of the plain by mistake....it still says from 4 months so that should be OK shouldnt it? I mean with the flavours and allergies and all?
Sorry about the me post....will get back on tomorrow and do persies..
Hope you all have a nice sleep filled night!
xoxo

bahahaha, that is classic shayna!!!! :clap:
Poor little munchkin.. could it be the formula?
with my dd i found formula sometimes gave her a big pain, then she'd hurl like that and come good again. just a thought! good luck with the clean up xx
ubba, thanks for the tip on using a glass to check a rash. i never knew that!
Kymmy, i would have loved to have all same sex babies! I know that sounds strange, but i just think of the connection they'd have when they'd get older.. i suppose there's nothing to say dd and ds won't have that strong connection. I guess it just comes down to how you raise them, and their family ethics. Gee i hope they grow up to be best friends. Hope your little fella's rash is nothing to be concerned about. I'm also with you on the FDC, if my kids went somewhere, itd be fdc. My mum was once a fdc mum, and she loved those kids.. There was one baby who she looked after full time from when she was 3 months. This little girl seriously just became a part of the family. Now, i kid you not, she is in grade 10, and she comes around my house every wednesday after school to play with kaili. She is STILL that close to us all ;) But with that said, i'm sure you'd have to find a diamond like my mum ;) hehe, she's a keeper!
Natty, i gave theo a teaspoon of banana tonight, instead of farex. It was soooooo cute watching his little face screw up, like "what tha heck is this?!" He loved it tho, heaps more than the farex. The MCHN gave me a brochure on solids at 4 months, and it has all the foods that are suitable, farex, banana, apple, pear, avocado, zuchini, potato, pumpkin.. i think thats all.. not sure. i can double check if you'd like to know for sure. And in it it says you can introduce a new food every 3 days. But i'm just going to do it slow. Theo had farex for a week, now banana... will wait a while now before i give anything else. Cause atleast you can alternate what you give this way.. Although i'm sure they're too little to really get 'bored' with a food.. Hmm, i'm really just thinking out loud here aren't i? lol, sorry! But yeah! :D
Mon, i've been thinking about you lately.. i hope you're okay. you know we all love you xx
AFM, theo got his 4 month needles today! We were suppose to get them last week, but because of the cyclone, and the whole.. no electricity, all the vacines went 'off'. As apparently they need to be kept at a certain temperature? So anyway, we got them today. He's been sooo upset since! Kinda surprising me, because the first lot didnt seem to bother him much at all. Ended up giving him panadol, something which i really try to limit. But its helped, and he's now snoozing!
xx

hey shayna, we must have posted at the same time
I couldn't imagine the flavoured one would make a difference, especially if it says 4 months plus.
Its so funny watching their faces hey?!
Good luck, hope it helps with her sleep.
I did it to see if itd help theo - but nope! little bugger!

Hi Girls - I don't know why but I haven't been getting notifications, it happens to me a lot! I've read all the posts but now can't remember specifics to reply persies lol, god I'm hopeless. I'll reply to the bits I remember!
Hi Kymmy - did you find a home for your mums doggy? I really hope so. I used to do a lot of rehoming of doggies so get a bit upset when I hear that someone's getting rid of one. I'm glad you have found someone, fingers crossed it works out. She's gorgeous!
Hi Natty - Amelia has just started going in her jolly jumper and she loves it, she cracks up and jumps so high in it! It knackers her out good too, I put her in it for the end of her play time just before she's due for a sleep, then she goes down for a decent nap afterwards!
Gosh I can't remember anything else, my brain today girls honestly!
AFM - had a lovely weekend, went to a 1st birthday party, pirate theme ha ha and today I opened up a bank account for Amelia, other then that just plodding along. Her routine is back on track thank goodness, the 4 feeds a day didn't work - she's just not ready yet so we're back to 5 feeds and going to bed at 9.30pm/10.00 pm - she's sleeping through till 8.00 am again now, occasionally she wakes up around 4.00 am for the dummy but I'm trying to let her go a bit before I relent, sometimes she goes back to sleep without it which is good. Anyway, I'm so far behind I'd best re read everything when my brain is fresh in the morning - well as fresh as it gets anyway and re-write then. Off for a cuppa now.
:hello: to everyone and hope you and your bubbas are well.

Hello All
I took Archie to the DR today.. it is definately little 'bruises' all up his right leg and a little bit on his left. They are mostly very small bruises but there are a couple of bigger ones down near his foot. The DR referred me to the paediatrician and i got in straight away and he wants Archie to have a blood test to check for blood disorders or a vitamin K deficiency!
I am cra*pping myself.. I am so scared for my little boy. I am so nervous about the blood test too. I am going to demand that they use Emla cos the paediatrician said that they don't usually use it. How cruel is that?!
Anyway, just thought i'd let you know.. Should have the results either tomorrow night or thurs morning..
Love you all
x
-
Oh his bruises are called PETECHIAE.... Anyone heard of it? I shouldn't have googled it....
-
Oh Kymmy,I just googled it too....I have everything crossed for you that those bloods come back 100%....
He's such a beautiful little boy and he'll be fine....he's a tough little fella....
Try not to worry too much....I know it's easy for me to say, I'll be thinking of you and Archie....
-
Oh Kymmy - I hope he will be ok!!! It is cruel that they don't use anything when giving them needles - DD2 had a canula in the hospital and she screamed so much with pain - it was horrible. Never felt so bad in my life!!
Alison - check your junk email box - sometimes my notifications go there? DD2 is still mostly having 5 feeds a day, so she'll usually have about 3.5 hours between feeds. Has her last feed around 6.30pm - then to bed at 7.00 and usually sleeps till 6.30am. Although its 7.30 now and she's still asleep! Must of been visited by the sleep fairy or something last night cos DD1 is still asleep too - and she didn't wake up during the night, so dunno whats taken over my house, but last night I actually got some sleep!!! The pirate party sounds like fun :)
Madame - your kids are tooo gorgeous!! Such beautiful photos you have on FB.
Telly - sounds like solids are going well! I think I started DS around 4/5 months (can't remember, it was 3 years ago!) but from what I remember I had him on pear and apple, pumpkin - broccoli and potato mashed together was a big hit too. I didn't give him too many bananas cos they have a tendency to bung them up a bit.
Hello to everyone else :grouphug:
Better go get ready for the day - I'm actually going to try and go for a walk today with the kids. I'm turning into a big fat tub of lard here!! Hard to time it with both girls sleeps during the day though, but at least DD2 can sleep in the sling while I walk. Just have to time it so DS isn't getting tired cos then he wants me to carry him - all bloody 16kg of him!!!
-
I don't need to get notifications cause I am so obsessed with BB that I check it as part of my 'computer routine' anyway :redface:
Kym- Poor Archie, that doesn't sound very good at all, I will google it and have a look. Did he get a vitamin K injection when he was born?
Mel- WOW 16kg! Luke is 4 1/2 and he is 17kg, although he is a skinny kid but eats like there's no tomorrow. Wish I had his metabolism.......
Maybe you could send those sleep fairy's accross Bass Strait to visit my house. Tell them if their wings get tired I will pay for a return ticket on the Spirit lol (ahhhh small things..)
Hi Shayna, Telly, Mon, Madame, Alison, Natty, Snowy (hope I didnt forget anyone :))
AFM- Ruby was pretty unsettled last night, she was waking every hour almost to the minute. Im finding it hard to keep her comfy at night, she gets hot then cold. I put her in a sleepsuit then put blankets on her but she kicks them off and gets cold. So I tried her in a grobag but she gets tangled in it cause she rolls around. She ended up in bed with me and pretty much had the boob from 3am onwards. She finally had a decent sleep from 7am-10am. The older 2 kids are at mums for the week so I stayed in bed with Ruby til 10 too.
I havnt tried her in the jolly jumper yet, I might get it out today and see how she goes. Ill pop piccys on FB. We have a great second hand baby shop near my house. I went there the other day and bought 7 winter outfits for $50! They were mostly $8 a set and in such perfect condition they could have come strait off the racks new.
Oh I just saw the most bizzare thing on the news - Dog Yoga! its called doga OMG what is the world coming too? They are talking about tuning into their breating and regulating it, c'mon they are dogs not babies HaHa!
See ya girls
-
Bahahahaha!! Dog Yoga?!?!!? HAHAHAHA!! I'd love to get Pepper doing it.. LOL
Ubba - yeah 16kg - took him ages to get there, he was always a skinny thing - and still is, he's pretty tall already at 3... how tall is Luke? I'm pretty lucky with Eden, she stays in the one spot the whole night, just goes from side to side, but still stays under the covers. Although I'm sure thats going to change once winter hits Tassie - haven't experienced a winter down here for 20 years! Definitely going to be different than Qld... oh, and sure I'll send the sleep fairies over - if you can wait till Xmas i'll bring them over on the boat with us.. hahaa!!!
better go check that DD1 is asleep - which I'm sure she isn't considering i can hear her SINGING in her bedroom :shakehead:
Nearly time for DD2 to have a nap too... then its time to clean - yay....
-
Kymmy I just googled it too, just on wikepedia. Maybe the DR just used i as a general term? I hope he is just being over cautious kwim?:pray:
-
Hi Girls!
Hi Kymmy - oh no poor Archie, I'm sure he'll be fine but keep us posted. Isn't Vit K one of the injections they give them when they're born or am I getting it mixed up with something else? Hugs to you and Archie.
Hi Mel - ah so you're on 5 feeds too, cool. Although I see you're getting her to sleep earlier than Amelia but Amelia doesn't get started until 8.00 am most days and she can go 4 hours between feeds, sometimes 3.5. I'll be pulling back the last 2 feeds over the next week or so and see if I can get her to bed earlier - not that it bothers me but it would be nice to get her into an earlier bed routine so when she's older she does the same. I can imagine when they're more active is when you desperately want them in bed earlier so you can relax lol!
AFM - well we had a pretty unsettled night too although it was a full moon so I'm going to blame that! I got up to Amelia 4 times last night from midnight on....it's weird because she's not awake ie her eyes are closed but she kind of cries, what is it with that any ideas? She sleeps with her onesie with arms and closed in feet and then her Grobag, I'm particular with the temperature so don't think she's cold or hot....I'm too scared to use blankets in case of SIDS - what's the norm with sleeping anyway as I really am just guessing! I thought the Grobag was so you didn't need the blanket? I put one on her in her day sleeps as I don't bother putting the bag on but too scared at night for a long sleep. Is that being ridiculous? I've also noticed her little "I'm tired but am fighting sleep" tanty's are getting worse lol. Normally she cries a little for a few minutes before going to sleep but now she flails her arms around knocking whatever is in her path - which is usually me as I'm holding her.....I hope this doesn't mean she's going to end up a big tanty thrower when she's older :o. Does anyone else's bubs crack the poops before sleeping? She can go from happy and smiling to that in a split second and crack it for a couple of minutes and then suddenly she's asleep, just like that! Is that normal? :D
-
ali- we get almost the identical pre sleep tanties here! same with tully too!
-
Yup we get the pre-sleep tanties here most times. Sometimes we seem to time it perfectly and she just drops off when the dummy gets put in her mouth! Awesome when that happens!
With the crying when sleeping Ali - it could be teething? I know my other two have done that when their teeth have been moving in their gums or breaking through. Have you got an amber teething necklace? I have one on DD1 all the time, and did buy one for DD2 but seem to have lost it in the move - grr - have to find that!!
-
Hi Madame & Mel - oh thank you so it's not just me lol....phew! I thought I was in trouble for a second there. :lol: No Mel I don't have one of those, where would I find one, sounds great! I was wondering if it was her gums, she's been ferociously sticking her hands in her mouth and anything else for that matter.
-
I got mine from Amberbebe - but there are some MPM's on here that probably sell them too if you would prefer to get it from a BB member?
