Morning girls!
Thanks for your replies....I know there is nothing wrong with her...just used to two happy smiley boys who melted my heart. I sometimes wonder if all the yelling I do at a naughty 2yr old and a testosterone fueled 4yr old have something to do with it??? They are like a blumin' tornado at the moment. Bailey is so cranky these days!
Try and be back for personals later today. Have nearly lost my voice! lol
xxxxx
Sounds similar to my house Vix. Throw a pre teen (even though she's not 9 yet!) & you have a house full of yelling, screaming & tantrums!!
Morning Mummies!
Brydz - Happy one month to Vinny today! :confetti: I can't believe our group's youngest bubba is one month already!! Time sure does fly - too fast!!! It feels like just the other day when I still felt Noah kicking me when I was pregnant and now he is kicking me in my stomach again, but only this time when I'm changing him. His legs are getting really strong now! lol Glad to hear that you got the DNA test done. When will the results be back? Enjoy your day off doing nothing! ;)
Clover - Welcome back home! It sucks when you go away somewhere and it rains, it kind of spoils it all doesn't it!? Sorry to hear that Summer was unsettled for ya last night with her needles. Glad that she is growing well though! ;)
Vix - Sorry to hear that you have lost your voice. Hope it's not a cold/flu you're coming down with! :hug:
Hello to everyone else!
AFM, Noah was really good and seems he had tolerated his needles well yesterday. He slept nearly all afternoon, had a big feed around 7pm and crashed until midnight, had a feed, was awake for about an hour, fell asleep again and slept til 5am this morning. He was awake for most of the morning this morning though and only just went to sleep about 30 mins ago, but has been a really happy little bubba so that's great! Happy baby = happy Mummy! :dance: I'm off to the physio this arvo, my back is K.I.L.L.I.N.G me, don't know how to sit, stand or lay for long anymore. I've expressed some milk for Noah and going to leave him at home here with my Mum incase he gets grizzly while we're at the physio - that might just make my already tense muscles more tense!
Well then, best grab some lunch before he wakes and before I have to leave....
Have a great day!
Love to you all!
xoxox
Pretz yeah I know. He kicks me in the belly too, when I lay him down on my legs (sitting/laying with my knees up). Cheeky boy. I can't believe he is a month old, and our eldest bub Alannah is almost 2 months! scary how fast its going by. Won't be little babes for long at all :(
The DNA test will take about 10 days to come back. I look forward to seeing their reaction when it confirms everything and she (J's mum) realizes she just wasted $385 (half, cos I paid the other half).
I have had a busy day so far today. Went grocery shopping and Vinny was a very good boy and slept the whole time :D and then came home and did a load of washing (the towels off the change table, he poo'd on 2 of them! LOL and some MCNs).
Letting him try out his cloth nappies since yesterday. They look sooo cute on! and his butt hasn't been as red. Still got 1 and a bit packets of newborn disposables to go through (unless he outgrows them) and 2 small packets of infant disposables. But I'm planning to build up my stash of MCNs while I wait to use them all.
MCNs anyone else out there use them? what is a good reasonable priced brand that I can buy in one size fits all? most of the big brands such as itti bitti and baby beehind all come in different sizes.. :(
hi ladies. im gonna be quick coz cooper is having a huge winge (dam growth spurts)
we got coops weighed and measured this morning, hes now 5.54kg (12pd 3oz, put on over a kilo in 2 weeks) HC is 39.5cm and hes 60cm long. getting so big.
then a friend of mine invited me to her mothers group (the group i would have been in with sunbeam) so all the bubs are 4/5 months but they were really friendly and it was sooo nice to get out and chat to other mums
anyway have to love ya and leave ya i have a huge sook for a son today :(
BBL xx
Raffy,
Were you giving coop Brauer's Stomach Calm?? Just wondering if this was the one, as on the bottle it says over 6 months. if you could let me know that would be great, as i have a little sample pack and was going to try but then went mmmmmm.....
Thanks x
hi sparkles
it says on the pack Dosage: Infants under 6 months...ect
Cooper hates the taste with a passion but it works very well
Brydz - Cushie tushies are osfa. Green kids, but they are pockets. Itti's have a osfa too now. Its called the tutto.
Check out buy & sell your mcn's on facebook. Thats where I get all Summers nappies. Well most of them. Some are really cheap & still in great condition :)
My bottle says Infants under 6 months - 0.5ml. Infants and Children 6 months to 2yrs - 1ml. Children 2 to 12 yrs - 2ml. Give every half hour for up to 4 doese and then 4 hourly.:
AFM: Alannah is talking a little more but only when I can do one on one with her with no one else around.
BBL. Feel a bit yuck with this virus. :(
xxxx
Thanks guys, I don't know why my bottle doesn't say it! The website does though so i called them & all good, 0.5ml!
Just gave Ty a bath and think he's now doing a poo! :)
Brydz - Sounds like we both have cheeky boys kicking us in the stomach! lol Glad that the DNA test results won't take too long before it comes back and yes, I too wish I could see J's Mum's reaction when she realises that she wasted that money. Glad Vinny behaved for you while you were out shopping yesterday. ;)
Raffy - Yay on Coops great growth stats this week!! You're doing an awesome job there! Coop is bigger than Noah now - I got Noah weighed today (see AFM). Glad that you had a great time at the mothers group and that you had fun chatting with all the other Mum's. I haven't joined a mother's group as yet as my Mum has been here to keep me busy and so on, but might look at getting together with some of the girls from my antenatal class at some stage. ;)
Sparkles - Hiya - hope you and Ty are doing well and that the Brauer's Stomach Calm helped. ;)
Vix - Yay on Alannah talking a bit more! She's absolutely gorgeous - love the photos on FB. How's your voice? I hope that you feel better real soon! Huge :hug:'s!!
Everyone else - Hope you all and your bubs are doing well?
Group Question - Is everyone's babies sleeping through the night yet? 6/7 hours at night yet?? Or anyone's baby still waking through the night to feed too?
AFM, have had a really, really, really good little boy the last 2 days. I call him my dream baby now. He hardly cries and when he does it's because he is hungry or has a wet/dirty nappy, otherwise he is all smiles and full of coo's and gaa's! :dance: He hasn't been sleeping much during the day as he is still feeding every 2 hours or so and sleeping for about 5 hours until midnight for his feed and then wake again at around 4am-5am for his next feed before sleeping again til about 7am-7:30am. Yay!! Took Noah to get weighed at the clinic today and he gained another 300g's this week, putting his total weight at 5.19kg! His HC is 39cm and he is 60cm tall! Was a bit worried he wasn't in the average range for his age, but the CHN said that all babies are different and grow different and that as long as he falls within the lines on the growth charts in his Personal Record Book that he is fine, so that makes me feel much better. :) Can't believe my little boy is 8 weeks tomorrow!! :confetti: Where has the time gone!? It feels like just yesterday I held him in my arms for the first time after he was born...
Well then, time for a cuppa tea with DH and Mum before heading to bed.
Love to you all!
xoxox
Pretz- i cant believe coops is bigger than noah :) u wouldnt think it when compring pics on fb. well done to the both of you, noah sounds like a beautiful, healthy, happy lil man :thumbsup:
re: GQ - coops sleeps from bout 6pm-2am then 2.30am-6am then 6.30-8ish. and u cant wake him if you try, he sleeps so heavy, or he'll open one eye, give you a dirty look and close it again lol. im starting to think i should go to sleep at 6 to but by the time ive watched all my shows on tv then gotten everything ready for bed its like 11/12pm then im awake again with coops a few hours later :doh:
AFM - having the joyus 6 week wonder week, coops is very unsettled when hes awake but i think ive gotten to the point where im comfortable enough and can tolerate it better, i find im not getting as anxious when he cries anymore which sure does make life easier :) we have had loads of smiles and coos in between the cries but which is nice.
(speaking of - yay to Alannah for talking lots :dance:)
anyhoo i went to see harry potter today, im not a die hard fan or anything but it is a really good movie. it sure was nice to get out with the girls, while DP stayed home with Coops. missed my boys but and it was nice to see them having a cuddle, reading the paper on the front verandah when i got home :)
alright i had better get some sleep seen as its already 11 lol
goodnight all
xx
hello girlies.
pretz - glad to hear that Mr Noah is being a dream baby the last few days :) Vinny had a good day during the day yesterday. Only time he annoyed me was when he was screaming the house down while I was in the loo :( Can't even take a crap in peace hahaha (sorry TMI!!)
laughing - anybodys babies laughing yet? Mum reckons Vinny let out a tiny giggle at her last night while I was in bed. I thought he almost did the other day when I was tickling him too. It was like a little giggle, and another time a squeal in delight. I don't think he will be far off laughing for real :D so cute.
afm - after several shocking days and nights (very clingy sooky boy) I have stayed at mums the past 2 nights. Last night was okay (fed 9, 3, 6 but didn't go down til 11pm), but the night before was great (fed 8, 11, 430). He, and mum who gave a EBM bottle feed at 11pm, let me get 6 hours sleep!
I am not sure what was unsettling him. Either the hot humid weather we aren't used to, my whooping cough needle (I know it was bothering me - i had a headache for days, and still have a lump like a marble in my arm, needle was last friday), or the wonder week he is currently in the middle of..
At least yesterday he was pretty good. Hoping we have some better days AND nights the next few.
For anyone who wants a look here are his photos :)
Avenue Blu Photography (look in portraits, clients and password is baker).
There soooooooooooo many cute ones I've got no idea what to choose. OMG the phot # 16 is like a mini version of J! So much like his daddy there would have been no need for the DNA test if they saw it. LOL
Today we are going to go down to the health centre for 'new parent group' meeting. One of my mates and her bub Thomas will be there. Don't know who else. But it will be nice to find new support from new parents with bubs the same age in my area.
Brydz - great pics. I esp like #19!
AFM: Really feeling like the floor of a taxi cab now! Fever, barely any voice still, just general blah!
xxxxx
just on the down low i think DP could now be my DF... going ring shoppin on the weekend. eeeeeeeeep :leap:
Brydz - cooper makes a laughing noise when hes really happy so i assume its laughing, it melts my heart :) have fun at ur NPG. could vin be unsettled coz of the 4 week growth spurt? oh and the pics of him are gorgeous
Vix - hope u feel better soon :hug:
Raffy - Yay on the news of ring shopping and that DP will become your DF!!! :dance: How very exciting! ;) I can't believe Coop and Noah are the same length already either, but awesome that they're both growing well. :hooray:
Brydz - LOL @ not even being able to go to the loo in peace lol I have the same thing when wanting to go to the loo or have a shower! :p Glad to hear Vinny has been a good boy for ya. Had a look at your photo shoot pics and they're absolutely stunning!! ;)
Vix - Hope you were abl to get all 3 of your kids to bed at the same time and were able to get some rest yourself. Hope you feel better real soon too! :hug:
Group Question - I know it can be different for each baby, but how long does everyone's bubs drink/feed for while BF? Noah used to feed for 20-30mins eacg feed and for the past week only feeds for about 10-15mins at most, but it does seem that he is taking bigger, deeper sucks which could be more milk quicker? Is this normal? ETA - Noah just had a 50 minute feed - the longest he has EVER fed for since he was born.....hopefully that means he is going to sleep really well! lol
AFM, was able to het a few things done today as Mr Noah was fantastic and had 2x 2 hour sleeps through the day today. Finally got the photos of his photo shoot that was done on 15 October back from the lady who did them. The lady took her time getting them back to me. He was 2 weeks old. Posted them on FB.
GTG, Noah just spewed all over me.........lol
xxxxx
Pretz - Summer only feeds for 10 or so minutes at a time now. She does occasionally enjoy it so much she keeps going, but will usually bring it all back up! Thats what makes the 4am feeds so much more fun, lol. She sleeps for 7 - 8 hours then is starving & fills herself up too much. So over wearing it!!
Just popping in to answer Pretz question:
Alannah has a quick 10 min feed first thing in the (she wakes anywhere between 5am and 6.30am)morning. (one side) Sometimes she will go both sides like she did this morning. Normally she has this quick feed and goes back to bed for another 2 -3 hour. She may or may not want a mid morning feed. Big feed around lunch time and then sleeps for up to 3 or 4 hours. Then 3 or sometimes 4 half hour feeds between say, 3pm and 8pm. Her last feed is quite a lengthy one - up to 30 mins. She then has a bath around 8 - 8.30pm and a 60ml bottle. She might have 20mls or she might drink the lot, it depends on how sleepy she is.
AFM: I had to take Noah back to the GP this morning and thought as I was there I might see the doc myself. Turns out I have a very swollen throat which is very pussy! I was surprised as my throat is not sore at all. When I told her it wasn't sore, she looked shocked and said it should be! lol I have been having fevers on and off since Wed evening and have therefore been taking panadol every 4 hours. I can tell when 4 hours is up as the aches and pains hit with vengence (sp) and the shivering starts again! Still have a very croaky voice too. So anti-b's it is! Am sure you all wanted to know that! lol
Got Alannahs Twinkle Toes portrait back today. MIL was going to pay for it but has not said a thing about it since then so I had to pay for it. I swear that woman is loosing her marbles. LONG story but grrrrrrrrrrrr @ her!!!!
Alannah is really starting to chat now. She cooed yesterday and the boys had not heard her yet and they both stopped in their tracks and looked around at her and had the biggest grins on their faces! cute.
Okay, back to the couch.
xxxxx
That is soooo cute Vix. im glad Alannah is turning into a lil chattabox for you:
hope ur anti-bs help and u start to feel better soon :hug:
AFM - so DF (OMG :o hes actually my fiance!!!) now has a play station 3 and his friends came over and leant him some games so at the moment i may as well be a single mother living alone hahah its cute hes so happy but. coops had been sleepin loads today and when hes awake hes either feeding or giving me HUGE smiles and havin a chat. extremely cuuuute :heartbeat: might go out to night and have a celebratory drink on our engagement eeeeeep :)
p.s am i naughty for sending DF out to get me breast pads and mcdonalds hahahah hes the best
Vix - Yay on Alannah being more active and talkative, how adorable. Noah has been a real cutie himself today, lots and lots of smiles and coo's, it just melts my heart!! Yay on getting Alannah's Twinkle Toes portrait back - it's absolutely gorgeous!! I also picked up Noah's and sent ya a piccie (ETA - just got your txt as I was typing this post) lol. Hope the anti-b's work soon and that you feel better real soon! Hope Noah and Bailey are both doing better too now.
Vix & Clover - Thanks for answering my group question about how long your bub's feed for. Makes me feel a bit better that Noah isn't the only one feeding as often (10mins sometimes). He used to always feed for longer but then started feeding shorter and I got a bit worried wondering why, but he was back to feeding 20-30 mins for most of his feeds today! ;)
Raffy - CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement! :confetti: How did DF ask? How very, very exciting, I'm soooooo happy for you both!!! :happyforyou: Have you guys talked/thought about when you're planning to get married yet? ;) Cute that DF went to get you some breast pads and macca's! lol:
AFM, had a really good day today. Noah was very happy and chatty and smiled the most he has ever smiled. Soooooooo cute!! Mum and I went shopping this arvo and did the grocery shopping and picked up his Twinkle Toes portrait too - I posted a piccie on FB. Noah is fast asleep at the moment and I'm about to go have a shower and then head to bed before his midnight feed.
Hope you all have a great night!
Love to everyone!
xoxox
Raffy - woohoo congrats on the engagement!! :) wonderful news!
Pretz - Vinny used to feed just 10 minutes or so. Now its more like 20, but he still only has one side at any feed (I have a lot of milk apparently.. LOL). Today he fed more often and I was wondering if my supply was dwindling and maybe need to offer the second side, my boob he was on felt rather empty but I squeezed and it still had plenty of milk coming out..
Vix - thats so cute Alannah is cooing and the boys noticed it and grinned!! all our bubbas are growing and learning so fast! can't believe it. they will be walking and talking before we have a chance to catch up on sleep LOL
afm - up at 4am on the net for the first time since pre-birth. I fed Vinny at 230 and he went straight back to sleep but I can't sleep even though I'm absolutely exhausted. J's mum stressing me out again and I just can't stop thinking bout stupid ****. layed awake in bed for ages and then got up so I could come online and vent in the hopes I can clear my mind. but i GUARANTEE as soon as I am ready to go back to sleep mr vinny will want another feed :(
THANKS PRETZ! he didnt 'ask' lol unfortunately there was no bent knee or anythin we were just talkin and thought it was about time we got married lol then went and bought a ring. the ring has to be resized but so im pickin it up on monday and then when DF gets home from work he will put it on and all that :) i feel so flattered, when we changed our 'relationship status'' on fb all DFs family were like 'its about time' hahah how long were all you married ladies together before you got engaged?? (that question was to everyone hence the bold lol, sorry pretz) DF and i have only been together since July 07 which is 3 yrs 4 mnths. maybe it seemed like forever for DFs family coz they are in the habit of getting engaged VERY quickly. DFs sister was engaged after 6 mnths (didnt work) and DFs brother was engaged twice to two different women (not at the same time) one was after 8 mnths and the other was after 3 mnths :o (neither of them worked) so i guess DF has seen this and figured he'd wait to see if i was gonna stick around. lol 3 yrs and one baby later, im still not going anywhere :) you prob didnt want to read all that so im sorry lol anyhoo we have talked about wedding stuff, we want a SUPER casual beach wedding in November (so its nice and warm) we are gonne get married in WA coz all our families are there and it just heaps easier, i dunno if you've heard of it, Nikki probably has but we are looking at getting married on rottnest island. i cant wait :) so much to look forward to
Brydz - thats a bugger that you didnt get much sleep :hug: plz dont let Js mum get to you, shes not worth that extra thought. thinkin of ya babe xx
Vix - a huge WOO HOO to your little MAN Noah, one week in undies! clever guy
AFM - (read Pretz hahah sorry hun - i started then couldnt stop lol)
xx
Brydz - Sorry to hear that you couldn't sleep. Don't let J's mum get to you. You'll get the DNA results back soon and then she won't have an excuse to be a PITA. You're doing a wonderful job as Vinny's Mummy and nothing that J or his mum or anyone else can say can change that. I wouldn't worry about your milk supply if Vinny is feeding more often (which could mean a growth spurt), if anything, the more he feeds, the more your milk supply will increase. That is what happened with me when he went through his growth spurts. ;)
Raffy - It doesn't matter whether he "asked" or not - the main thing is that you guys love each other and are now engaged, that's sooooo exciting! Yay on the November wedding, I think it's a beautiful time to get married too! :dance: I googled Rottnest Island just before to have a look and it looks awesome. ;)
As for Raffy's group question - I don't know whether I actually mentioned but I met my DH online (when I still lived in South Africa) back in 2000. We chatted online for 6 months before we met in person (he went to South Africa for holiday and then I came over here for holiday). We got engaged in 2002, so knew each other for 2 and 1/2 years before getting engaged and got married in August 2003, so have been married for 7 years now and have known each other 10 years - the BEST 10 years of my life!!! :dance:
Hello to everyone else! :hello: Hope you're all doing well!!
AFM, had a pretty good night. Noah slept from around 6:30pm last night until 01:00am this morning. I didn't get to bed until 9:00pm though, but still got some good sleep. He fed for about 30 mins and went straight back to sleep. Woke again at 4:40am and fed for about 20 mins with me in bed and we both fell asleep again after DH left for work and didn't wake til 6:30am this morning! Yay!!! :dance: Played for a while and tried to take some photos of his smiles, but he turns his head while smiling and the photos come out blurry. Think it tired him out and went for a walk outside and he just fell asleep.
Time for brekky I think and then a shower if he sleeps that long! lol :p
Love to everyone! :heartbeat:
oh I am so jealous of all you ladies getting lots of sleep at night! Ben is a feeding machine the last 3 nights he has been feeding every 2 hours. OMG I am like a freaking Zombie!! I got him weighed on Thursday just gone and he is now 6.16kg, HC 41.5cm and length 60cm. Holy toledo he is getting out of control. Boys grow so much faster than girls!!!!
CONGRATS RAFFY on your engagement :happyforyou: That is truly THE most awesome news. Well done to the both of you! To answer your question, DH and I were together for 7 months before getting engaged and got married after 1 1/2 years. So have been together now for 5 1/2 years. Cant wait to see some piccies of the ring!!!
Hiya Pretz, Vix, Clover, Sparkles, Brydz and everyone else!!
Just stopping by quickly inbetween doing the timber decking in our alfresco. OMG it is so fricken hot today!!! I hate feeding in this heat. Is ridiculous ...
Raffy, DH & I met way back in 2000. I was 16, him 17. Got together 6 months later in June 2000. DD was born in 02, then when I was 12 weeks pg with DD2 we got engaged. In November 2004 I think. Married in November 2006.
So together for 4 years when we got engaged, 6 years when we got married.
Good morning to everyone! :hello:
Nikki - Nice to hear from ya, although sorry to hear that you haven't been getting much sleep. :hug: I too have days where Noah feeds almost every hour for every hour during the morning and then every 2-3 hours in the arvo. Luckily he still only feeds around midnight and 4am! Saw your updated pics of Ben and Summer on FB, you have gorgeous kiddies (as do everyone else on here!) Wow, 6.16kg!? I can't believe how big Ben is, although he is a gorgeous bubba and you're doing a fantastic job! ;) hehehe Looking forward to seeing some piccies of your timber deck in your alfresco too!
AFM, going shopping a bit later today (if I can get myself ready) and taking Mum for lunch. I can't believe that she's flying back home on Friday night! :crying: I can't believe that it's been 10 weeks since she arrived and that she's going home already. The time sure goes TOO fast.....I don't think I have ever felt the time go this fast! Not sure whether that's just the way it is or whether it is because I had a baby! lol :p Tomorrow I'm off to the physio again, my back/tailbone is still giving me heaps of problems and pain and the heavier Noah gets, the harder it seems to be to pick him up and carry him around. Hopefully it will get straightened out soon! :pray:
Hope you all have a great day!
Love to you all!
xxxxx
Morning Mummies and Chubby bubbies!!
Pretz - Last night was a good night for sleep. Ben fed at 8 and then again at 2 and then 6.15am. Happy with that!! Yep my bub is one chunky monkey. Everytime I get him weighed its alway another 250-300g. Makes my eyes pop out of my head. Im gonna have to start putting him in Crawler nappies. The infants are getting a little too tight around the waist! Yeah the decking will be finished on Friday, then just have to finish the mulch, put up a shed, a few more plants and some gates. Should be hopefully done in the next couple of weeks. WOW I cannot believe its time for your mum to go home already. Sending you big hugs because that sure will be sad and hard for you saying goodbye at the airport :hug: Sending you lots of get well wishes for your tailbone. I hope it improves really quickly for you.
AFM - Bit the bullet the other night and DTD and it didnt hurt. Yay haha still, where is my libido??? Anyone elses gone missing? ... Except for Vix, you little rabbit, you ;)
anyhoo, gotta run, playgroup in the 35 degree heat today. Should be fun :rolleyes:
Nikki - Thanks for the :hug: - yes, it'll be really hard and sad on Friday when I have to say bye to my Mummy at the airport, but we promised that we wouldn't leave it too long before we visit each other again. My Dad couldn't come this year, so they're going to try to come over next year (probably mid year) so that is definitely something to look forward to and in the meantime, we have skype and webcams so we can chat away and they can see Noah on the webcam! :D Noah would have probably been around the same weight as Ben by now if it wasn't for him losing 410g at birth and then only picking up 70g and 120g the first couple of weeks due to his jaundice and him being so sleepy back then. He is also gaining between 260-320g every week now and it makes me go :o too! At least we know our boys are growing well, no matter how much they gain! ;) hehe Oh wow, 35°C!? Hope you are able to stay cool though. Enjoy the playgroup! We're just about to go shopping and out to lunch!
Glad to hear that DTD didn't hurt for ya! Sorry for TMI, but I still haven't DTD, mostly because my Mum is still here, and also because I'm too stuffed to even think about it, so don't worry Nikki, I think my libido is missing too and don't see it coming back in the next week (once my Mum's gone back home) either! :rofl: Perhaps we should get Vix to send us some of her libido! hehehe :p:
Raffy - CONGRATS!!!! What wonderful news! Very happy for you. xxxxx
DH and I........are NOT married. We have been together for over 16 yrs now! I guess that is what they call "living in sin"! I call him my hubby and he calls me his wife. A piece of paper will only change my signature and our marital status on Facebook! lmao JK We are talking about getting married though.....so I guess no engagement for us.......mmmmm......... :)
Sorry, only skimmed through. NJ is waking up now and yes...is sick AGAIN! Alannah has conjunctivitis so every feed she gets drowned in one eye with breastmilk!
This might sum up a few things too -
Dear BIL,
You were warned a few weeks ago that our boys had conjunctivitis. Now you have it. Please stop coming to our house when A) you can barely open your eyes and they are glowing red from infection B) can't drive and C) keep wiping them with the same dirty tissue.
By continually coming to our house you A) risk infecting my children and B) show that you have no respect for your brother or myself.
We even printed up information for you regarding it and you just threw it on the bench. I put it in the bin after you left and washed my hands.
If my boys missed two weeks of preschool in total because of their conjunctivitis, what makes you think you can keep coming to our house?
You are 43 yrs yrs old - grow up!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Missy is awake!
xxxxx
P.S. Love you allllllllllllllllllllllllll.:grouphug:
haha Vix you naughty girl, living in sin, hahah i also felt the same that marriage is only a piece of paper, but now we've got coops i would like all 3 of us to have the same last name, not that we are planning the wedding yet. hahah i no it sounds crazy but we are actually planning another baby first. i think im crazy??
thanks Nikki. way to go Ben!! what a lil porker. thats awesome that hes doing to well. i too saw ur pix on FB, Summer and Ben are soooo cute. you've done well.
Pretz :hug: dont think about ur mum leaving, just enjoy the time you've got left, the rate the time is passing they'll be back before you know it lol
AFM - Cooper had his needles today. He screamed the poor baby, then i teared up and gave him a huge cuddles and then he gave me a BIG smile and fell asleep. then we got home nd he was in a nice chatty mood, but i think its all just hit him and hes been crying non stop for the last half an hour, thank god DF is on day shift so hes trying to settle him now but having no luck! im spose to be having 'me' time but im struggling coz all i wanna do is make him better..... i think hes stopped now :crossfingers: might have a shower then go cook dinner and have an early night.
love ya'll
xx
Raffy - OMG you too??? :p No, you're not crazy and if you are well then so am I :rofl: because DH and I dob't want to wait too long until baby #2 either!!! hehehe I just didn't want to say it too soon as I was scared I'd be the only one and you girls would think I'm crazy! lol Poor Coop getting his needles and not settling.

morning girls. or should I say afternoon. it just went 12.
Well I have been busy fiddling about pulling weeds out of my garden whilst the ground is nice and soft from several inches of rain. Its taken me bloody ages to do the smallest bit. Luckily my front garden is not so huge. Its the backyard jungle that scares me. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many milk thistles, and they are 6ft tall in some places :( YUK!
I had jims mowing quote me to do the backyard, mow, snip down the weeds and poison them all off. He gave me a quote for $165. Mum reckons that is too much. I reckon its not bad. I'd pay my brother slightly less than that to do it but he is lazy it will take him forever..
They came round and drilled in my new mailbox finally :) I bought it months ago after my brother backed into my current one knocking the post out of the ground. It has been leaning against the neighbours fence for a while but falls over in big wind and the mail man is so kind he just puts my mail on the ground :shakehead:
Now it is better :)
They also re-hinged my fly screen door so now i can leave my front door open without the flies getting in :) YAY!!
Got soooooo many lil projects I wanna do around the place. Like fix the chimney so it doesn't rain all over my kitchen any more, strip and sand all the hardwood doors/door frames, skirting boards etc, get someone to check out my stumps and see just how many do need replacing (i'm hoping a few, not all), pull up the masonite in the kitchen and inspect the floorboards underneath. Repaint the front doors. Fix the broken glass in the front door...
The list goes on and on and on. Where do I start? LOL. Oh the joys of having a house!!
Morning girls. Just popping in whilst Alannah is sleeping in her swing and listening to The Circle! lol Busting too pee and then shower.
Can't beelive my baby is 10 weeks old...she certainly feels like it now - a lump of lead! lol
xxxxx
morning all
haha pretz i too am glad im not the only one planning baby #2 lol. im hopin to have coops fully weaned by april and start 'trying but not trying' in may. with coops we were lucky enough to fall pg first go but now with the pg and BF i understand it might not happen like that again, but id love for them to be about 18 months apart, if all goes well, so thats y i figured we start in may and give ourselves a few months. happy 2 months to Noah for yesterday :) going soooo fast hey. and i hope the physio helped ur back a bit
brydz - WTG on the gardening!! wanna come do mine?? i recon im gonna have wild animals out there soon. i had to find the washing line on the weekend to hang out the clothes :rofl:
morning vix - happy 10 weeks to alannah. coopers only 7 weeks and already a solid lil unit, cant imagine what he'll be like at 10 lol
afm - coops slept from 8-430 then 5-830 and i fell asleep at 8.30 as aposed to the usual 11.30-12ish, ahhh got to much sleep and i feel great. DF took the car with the carseat today so its my excuse to stay home and do sweet F A :) if coops has a sleep i might do a little cleaning but other than that im just gonna watch movies and pig out :)
howdy all.
WOW 8 weeks Noah already and 10 weeks Alannah! these bubbas are growing up so fast! Will be talking in months before long :o
Well no more gardening happening here. And I'm not sure bout Jims mowing, a friend on facebook suggested a different guy in the area who quoted her backyard clean up around $100. Might be a smaller job though. Still no harm in calling and getting a free quote. Would love to find a cheaper person to do it..
Vinny has been good. Last night he fed at 9, topped up with 60mls of formula at 1030 (thats all he would take) and then slept thru til 550am :D SOooooooo proud of him. It was wonderful. I went to bed around 11 and got 7 hours sleep!
Today he's been reasonably good. Went to ballarat xmas shopping and visiting my friend. He had a photo done with santa :D
was very cute!
has just gone to sleep after screaming since about 5ish...... yay for silence!! now time for me to eat something!!
Brydz - My CHN advised me only to give Alannah a 60ml top up at night so she would not be too full for her next breasfeed. If she was to be still full from her bottle, it means my milk would drop off. Seems like a waste when a tin only lasts for a month (freshness) but betetr than starting breast milk issues!
Raffy - Great to hear you sounding more cheerful and your usual self again. xxxxx
AFM: Have an ultrasound on Alannahs hips tomorrow morning. Just routine. Tonight I was TRYING to feed her her last breastfeed befor her bath (then bottle) and I could smell poo. I held her up and sniffed her (As Mums do!) and took her into get changed. By the time I laid her on the change table, my shirt was covered in it, my jeans copped it too and it was all down one of her legs. NO NAPPY was holding in that explosion! GrOsS!!! I have found once day a week she is grumpy for hours and then hammo - massive explosive nappy! Every other day it is just small pooey nappies. Thank goodness DH was home to help me get my t-shirt off. lmao
Okay, off to beddy byes now.

Hi guys
haven't been in for a while, but been around & keeping updated.
we're still having feeding issues. think its to do with the shape of summer's mouth. her palate is very high & narrow, so the nipple is getting sucked up instead of back causing the cracks etc. her tongue is also not curling around the breast the way it should. we are having a day stay in hossy next week so the m/w's, lactation consultant & speech therapist can all observe her feeds. try work out exactly what the problem is & if we can fix it.
if not, we just hope it gets better as she gets bigger.
sorry its quick, but i gotta get to bed. hope everyone's chrissy plans are coming along :)
night girls xx
Thanks vix. I have you ladies to thank for keeping me sane during those first few trying weeks, plus coopers gotten alot better and I don't get anxious when he cries anymore. Plus I have loads to look forward to such as Christmas, going home for a month, having another baby and getting married, its all exciting stuff.
hope alannahs scan goes well and that's yuk about the pooh, coops did that the other week, I was annoyed coz I had just bought new shorts and was excited to be wearing them, then BAM!! Pooh explosion lol lil buggers
