I'm such a dummy. Am using mobile
Ph & didn't realise a new thread had been started & thought nobody had been posting! Doh!
Glad to hear everyones bubs are doing well
Pretz- I still haven't dtd yet poor DP I'm just so nervous, I've never had a 2deg tear before & it still feels tender, although gp said it looked fine.
Madison also trys to put her whole fist in her mouth & gags too
Vix- hope all is ok with your thyroid.
Nikki- FX all goes well with Ben on Fri.
Hello to everyone else
AFM-Madison has slipped into a routine. Feeds roughly 4 hrly during day. Bath, feed, bed @ 7pm - sleeps til between 3:30am-4:30am has a feed, then back to bed til 7-8am. This has been happening for about 3 wks so I guess it works for her. Yay!
I can't believe how quick they grow! Madi has such a personality it's really coming out now- with her giggles & cooing. And she has this funny "fake" cry/yell thing when she wants you to look at her- she stops then smiles straight away when you do- cheeky monkey!
I had her weighed today & she's 5.95kg. I don't know how the infant nappies say 4-8kg, they barely fit her now???
Group Q: are all your bubs still just "batting" at toys? Madsion is doing this in her bouncer/floor gym etc, not actually grabbing them, I mean her fist is still closed. Is this normal? It's been so long I can't remember?
Beckels, Summer isn't even doing that yet. She still just stares at toys. She can talk up a storm though. Loves having a sooky chat to dh. Must be his deep voice. So funny to listen to. Sounds like she wants to cry, but she's just chatting. Like she's complaining about her day lol.
Feeding is getting better. Still a struggle, but we're getting there.
Last day of school for the year I hate holidays!! Jaz goes into year 4 next year & Bri will be in year 1. She won't be the youngest in the school anymore
Oh well, they're off to the pool & waterslide today. They should have a ball
wow feels likes its been forever since ive been on here. im having withdrawals lol
Vix - FX everything goes well with the thyroid stuff. will be thinking of you xx
Nikki - hope all goes well with Bens eye, will be thinking of you to xx
Pretz - sorry to hear DTD hurt. i no how u feel, i finally gave in and did it as well on sunday night. it hurt sooooo bad to start with, coz after my 3rd degree tear i to still get sooo tender down there. but with plenty of lube it didnt hurt for long, we event did it twice and even the second time it hurt to start with as well, but i paid for it the next day lol i was walking around like i had a carrot up my bum lol Cooper is sucking his hand as well, when he gets it in his mouth he full on goes at it. the other day he actually sucked his thumb properly, it was very cute.
Clover - yay on the new camera, ur pics on fb are gorgeous, well done.
JCE - enjoy your holiday WTG on bens growth to, they are all growing sooo quick.
Beckles - Madison sounds like she has a very cute personality there Cooper has the same routine, its been so good. and the added bonus is that DF is on holidays so i get up to cooper during the night and he gets him in the morning and i can sleep in till . . . whenever
GQ (to those with older children) - when did your other bubs get thier first teeth?? mum recons i had my 2 bottom teeth by 12 weeks. and the last few days Cooper has been sooo unsettled, had a lil temp and drooling like crazy!! could this mean hes getting teeth or is it normal?
Hi if there is anyone i missed - sorry i was a lil blunt on persies
AFM - not much to report here. we are going back and forth between our parents houses, and seeing friends during the day. we had all our mates over the other night for a few drinks and Cooper feel asleep on the couch at about 6.30 and we were all outside so i set up the monitor. but i had to laugh everytime someone went into the kitchen (which is right near the lounge) and especially towards the end of the night when everyone got alot louder, everyone was saying shhhhh you'll wake the baby. no one was used to it as my friends range from 18-21y/o and none of them have kids lol DF and i went out clubbing on friday night and left cooper with my mum all night. i ended up getting quite tiddled with my friends and at about 2am i was asking DF if we could go home hahah we ended up staying out at a friends house and i woke DF up at 6.30 to get him to take me home. i miss Coops soooooo bad. i had to laugh when we got home he was in bed with my mum and he was giving us the biggest stink eye lol dont think he was impressed that we left him for so long lol. it was soooo freakin cute yesterday my brother came up to my town for work and he rang to see where we were (he hadnt met cooper yet) so we went into town to see him, he gave everyone a hug and then took Cooper, i almost cried, my bro gets this really silly smile when hes really chuffed about something and he had that and he kept giving him the gentlest kisses, i get to see him again for a few days over christmas and meet his new girl. today we are off to see my best friend. i cant wait. she hasnt met cooper either, and is probably the only person in the world who doesnt have FB lol so she hasnt seen or heard very much about cooper besides what ive told her. but throughout my pregnancy she was very supportive and interested in what was goin on, cant wait til she actually sees him
anyway coopers starting to grumble so thats my cue to get moving. ill try drop in more often over the next few weeks.
ETA - notice how i said 'not much to report' and then wrote a novel. sorry :P
helloooooooo everybody. i'm still around. just have been lazy due to sleep deprivation and stress
clover -thats great u got a new camera. can't wait to see some pics u have to share with us
pretz -bugger that DTD was painful I can't tell ya if it is for me because I'm not doing it for a long long time yet LOL. certainly won't be happening with J ever again. LOL. how is little Noah? he is so cute. love seeing all the recent pics u post on facebook! growing up so fast.
nikki -gosh he is a big growing boy!! length wise Vin is not far behind him. he was 59cm at the last appointment at only 6 weeks old! my tall boy. its annoying because his legs don't fit clothes the same size as the rest of his body fits.. I think his head was 40cm too. so not far behind there either. LOL. Definitely not up around that same weight though. He was 4.98kg 2 weeks ago. Doesn't get weighed again til next Tuesday but i think he'd be in the high 5kgs cos he is getting real heavy.
jce that is great how well your Ben is sleeping!! I wish Vinny would be consistent. Some nights he sleeps 8 hours. others (like last night) he feeds every 2 hours. and others he just has the 1 feed about 3 or 4am and therefore has like 2 bits of sleep around 3-5 hours each.
beckels howdy! isn't it great when their personality starts to shine? Madi sounds so cute and cheeky! Vinny loves to giggle or smile at me when he spews on me. cheeky boy.
raffy not sure about what age teething usually happens but vinny has 2 obvious bumps in the middle of his bottom gum. and one to the side a bit. I said to mum I think he could be teething and she said no. i have no idea. my niece didn't get her first tooth til she was like 10 months or something. aww sounds cute that ur bro was so proud of his nephew. my bro who is 17 absolutely adores Vinny. he gets to see him a lot because i spend most of my nights at mums place.
afm been dealing with some issues with J and his mum. the dna results came back last friday. confirmed. obviously. and then I went over on saturday to get the birth registration form (its due in about a week) but he 'couldn't find it' and so I said i'd be back on tues. he told me he'd call monday and I said okay cool we can arrange a time for tues to come over and he didn't call monday. i drove all the way over to bendigo tues and couldn't get onto him (wouldn't answer the phone). i ended up coming home in a huge big huff. i rang bdm and they are sending me another form. i can send it off without him. unless he mails it to me before then. he messaged with a lame excuse 'we were outside' and told me 'its best to ring the night before' to which I didn't even answer that. he was meant to call me.
so after all that he may not even see V for xmas. he wanted him for an hour this weekend (before they fly overseas mid week for 2 weeks) and I said maybe. but i can't trust his word to follow through on a planned phone call. so no way am i leaving him there because who's to say i'd get him back? i told him its me and him, or neither. still haven't got a reply yet. will be interesting to see what happens.
gotta go. vinny is calling to me from the other room. his mobile stopped.
Hi all,
Pretz - saw on FB, great weight gain!
Byrdz - honey, you are doing great & only do what you feel is right regarding J having vinny etc. Mum's know best afterall!
Everyone else, hi!!!!
AFM - took Ty to the chiropractor on tuesday and she seemed really positive and reckons she can have him off his reflux meds asap...i hope so!! She said she probably can't stop the actual chucking but the pain assoociated, darn for that though, still lots of washing for me!! . The reflux formula has been making him constipated, so she said she stimulated his bowels and he went 3 times in the next 24 hours...YAY!!!! Go back again tomoro!! Will update after
