Yay Woohoo Congratulations Noni and DH on the safe arrival of little William! Excellent name ;). So happy for you guys, hope it went smoothly and can't wait to hear all about it. :hug:
i'm sick too ange! was supposed to do the supermarket shopping but i can't move off the couch.
hhmmm my oobi stuff has all been ok...oh except one of the buttons popped off jimmy's overalls but i think that's cos he's too fat and i keep trying to squeeze him into them cos i love them so much! LOL
we went to a mcdonalds party yesterday...please promise me none of you will ever have a maccas party ok? sorry if any of you already have but it was sooooo bad!!!..........maybe it was just berwick maccas that was bad. idk, but we hated it. dh couldn't wait to get out of there. lewis enjoyed eating 8 nuggets though!
md- how are you doing today??
cringing at the thought of a maccas party. Impressed you dragged hubby along. I am so sick of being sick. Seriously, i just tried to have a lie down and almost coughed up a lung, so I'm back on the pc.
I want to know more about Clares house!
Oh Ange, I hate coughing fits too :hug: I think I only have half a lung now LOL.
LOL G, what was so bad about it? I have heard mixed reports about them, so I think it must just depend on which maccas you go to. But luckily it wont be an issue for our kids as I think DH would divorce me if I ever let the thought of one pass my lips ROFL. He hates maccas with a passion.
it was just super crowded with randoms...and you couldn't see the playground from the party room, which was a huge issue...and the girls working there were HOPELESS. it took them sooo long to bring out the kids' meals. they were sitting on the counter for ages getting cold and lewis kept running up and putting his hands in the happy meal boxes stealing chips. dh thought it was very funny to watch though.
idk, it was just kinda frantic, crowded and trashy iykwim?
i want to know about clare's house too!!
have you heard anything about dh's job yet ange?
Ange - Sometimes it makes you wonder re the quality of more expensive clothes for kids. My SIL has sent a few baby gap tshirts/long sleeved shirts over from the UK, I always follow the washing instructions on the garment, but I have noticed that they often come out all warped out of shape. Yet they are baby gap, expensive & supposed to be good quality. Yet I bung all target stuff in the wash any old way & no worries lol. I hope you guys are all better soon.
Cant wait to hear from Noni!
Rainy - yes I think you have corrupted me! However I have to be good for awhile now lol. Damn internet shopping!!!
Clare - We are all eager to hear about your new place!
Girls I am so excited, maybe this is tmi to share but I got AF today!
CONGRATULATIONS NONI!!!!
what a lovely sized little baby...welcome to the world William!
Ange: i have noticed on a couple of the girl oobi gear that the colour runs and the stitching is a bit wonky. i find that they do the best in the dresses and the hats, but the t-shirts and skirts have been a bit less than perfect. still love it though LOL!
MD: everytime you say 'roid-rage' i think of you in a sci-fi movie as some AI robot kick-arse chick. i do have an overactive imagination :)
Rainy: i went to a Maccas party when i was a tween. it was horrendous. stinky and claustrophobic. so i feel your pain..
Arte: i would completely go bonkers if that happened to Leila with the dog. sorry that your mum doesnt get it IYKWIM. totally keep W away from the dog and maybe explain to him that although there are nice dogs there are also not nice dogs ITMS. no point in letting him be totally scared of all dogs, but just to be aware that some are not friendly. i am sure that if he told his nanna that she'd explode LOL!
Sherie: i too think that there are some things i will never part with of Leila's. some of the things we have gotten over the last 2 years are really special.
AFM: well, the HOUSE! we saw this house about 3 weeks ago. it was out of our price bracket (ie right at the top of ours and with the market would of ended up at least 100k more ITMS). so we kinda went, 'oh that's nice' and moved on. found ANOTHER house to go for and kinda forgot about it. then DH said last week, let's have a look at the exxy house just to see the difference...
we had a look, quite nice, with big backyard on the north fitzroy border (lil' posh pocket) and realised we were totally out of our depth as a house one street over in worse condition and smaller sold for almost 750K. ANYWAY, the night before the auction of the OTHER house DH convinced me to go in and make an offer regardless. we decided to be totally ridiculous and offer 30K LESS than the asking price (we were being brazen and decided to be cheeky!). told them this was the final offer and we were going to auction the next morning so if they could let us know that night of the outcome. 3 hours later (10pm) he called and said YES!!! so now we are the proud owners of a mortgage on a 2-3 bedroom edwardian with fireplaces and ducted heating (all the important things LOL!). there is a creek for the dog and we can have chooks! lovely baltic floorboards, the works!!!
we are so stoked! dont move in until the END of october though.....baaaahhhhh!
Ohhhhhhhh Clare that sounds so nice, I love a house with character. Well done on offering 30 grand less, sometimes it pays to just take a chance. Sometimes people get too emotional & caught up with really wanting the house, so it seems that your relaxed attitude of 'if we get it great, if not such a shame move on' worked. YAY for you guys so happy for you! Now I have no idea of where that area is in relation to the actual city in Melb, but seeing as you can have chooks it musnt be an inner city suburb? lol sorry just trying to fully picture your new place.
MM: i must of been typing when you first posted LOL! we had some baby gap too and it also fell apart. it was about 4 months later that i heard that they are notorious sweat-shop brand in india and have been accused of child labour! needless to say the penny dropped in relation to the quality and now i avoid it. i have to say that i do love target. it lasts for ages...love their thermal tops and onesies.
(congrats for AF!!!!!)
the house is inner city...about 4kms from the CBD...in melb still consider *inner*...in gladstone (my small home town) that would be in the woods LOL!
Clare, the house sounds Divine! I know you would probably prefer to be in there yesterday ;) but the end of October will come around soon enough plus it gives you loads of time to get anything done that may need doing and time to pack etc and you wont have that rushed feeling. I can't believe that you can be that close to the CBD and still have a creek LOL!
H, woohoo for AF! Never thought you'd get so excited about it I bet :hug:
You're dead right about some of the more exxie brands being poorly made. I always take extra care when washing something for the first time when I have paid a lot of money for it and there have been very few times when something hasn't run it's colour, shrunk or gone out of shape on the first wash. I love gymboree for it's quality - not one thing I have brought from there has shrunk, although there was a navy top of Erin's that faded a bit but that's to be expected after a while. Pumpkin patch used to be fantastic and I got so much wear out of the girls stuff as I could pass it from Erin to Paige, but now it's just so cheap and shoddy looking and it poorly made, so think they started cutting corners with manufacturing. And JK Clothing is just as bad too.
OMG go you Clare, sounds like a lovely spot and I just love character homes, we would love one but they are so exxy in a decent area over here. I am so happy for you!!! Are you serious? I have noticed all of M's baby gap says 'made in china' but I never knew they were also making it in India, poor kids. Anyway you would think paying that price for clothing, it wouldnt be 'made in china'!?
Trill - I am always careful with washing expensive clothing too. As for PP, my mum bought a whole heap of PP flannie pj's for M at the start of winter, I put two sets through the wash a few times and all the friggin buttons fell off lol. I wouldnt have a clue how to sew a button back on so she has these barely worn pj's waiting for one of the nanna's to come & fix.
I know, who knew you could get so excited about AF!? Had a little giggle cause when I told DH his face lit up and he said 'really' as if he didnt expect it to ever come again lol. Poor thing he has been so worried about all of this, he just doesnt express himself as much as I do I guess.
LOL at his face lighting up about it - not many men would do that ;) When you get the invoice from gymboree, it has listed on it next to each item where it is made and a lot of it is from pakistan and egypt.
Well thats ok then Trill, right?
OH NO I've been doing some Bali research, they have a 'guess for kids' dont they. GREAT! Better start saving now, just wait till I tell DH, he will be thrilled lol.
CONGRATULATIONS NONI
Clare - the house sounds wonderful and sounds like you got a great price on it.
Must say I am really happy with all of K's Target clothes that I have got. No issues with them falling apart and the sizes seem to match her.
MM - great news on AF arriving!!!
Trill - will check out that website, thanks
ETA - DH just told me of another site - google for moore educational who also have heaps of sets
Cally your DH is a genius. Moore is where I bought all the groovy o/s lego for DD1...sorry Trill it wasn't your website after all LOL.
Hi All
I go away for one weekend and all this happens!!! YAY YAY I am so excited for our buddy family!
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Noni - I hope you are enjoying baby William and settling into life as 4. V keen to hear from yuo how you are feeling and how A is coping, how feeding is going, how the labour is etc etc. I am sooooo excited for you!
Clare - YIPPEEE on the house which sounds divine! Well done to you and DH you must be soooo excited! I am so happy for you that this stress is over and you can look forward to a blissful life in gorgeous N Fitzroy. It sounds perfect and so beautiful and it will be even moreso when it is filled with the love of your special family. Big hugs to you for the hard time you are having, i can imagine how hard your week was last week.
You mean about the clothes H? I'm not sure whether it is good coming from those countries or not really - I know a heck of a lot of terry flat nappies come from pakistan so it's probaby quite a big industry over there. I might have to have a google about it and see what I can find out. I hate the idea of buying kids clothes that are made in a sweatshop.
Thanks a lot Cally, now you have given me somewhere else to spend my money ;) LOL. Off to check it out now...
Hey Hot Mumma's,
Claire- Congrat on the house it sounds wonderful. I am really happy for you and your family.
Noni- Woohoo Welcome to the world Billy hope you all are having a wonderful time with your new family member.
macca's Party- Yep I have been to one when the boys were younger... I was sort of
freaked out about the amount of kids and yep randoms that were there and it was a really small playgrounds and kids were crying everywhere. As soon as they cut the cake I grabbed the boys and was off and running.
Well we are all good here apart from the odd cough and runny nose. Livi now rathers sleepin in her cot other than her bed....ok so I dont mind as she doesnt climb out the cot. So long as she sleeps I just go with it...lol 9 more sleeps till our holiday and I am counting.. :dance:
Well better be off the washing machine is beepin and I have loads of it to do.
Hello to everyone and have a wonderful day
ooops i sent it before i finished again - i got called away by Jacob crying so thought better to send it as it was than not reply LOL!
MD - how are you doing this week? hope the roid rage has died down!
Arte - how is W's sleeping going now - was thinking on the weekend how well you have done. i think i need to avoid all sugary things (or moderate) - i went a little wild with raspberries (the lollys not real ones) yest on our drive home from syd and poor little J was rather uncomfy last night so i put it down to that. or it could be something else i guess... (hope!) - did you find dairy was a prob? i never had to eliminate anything with N so this is new to me...
I havent had probs with Gap clothes - but after the story on the news of the issues in africa with them (yesterday) i think i will prob stop buying them - bit of a bummer as i love their stuff. i am not huge PP fan, i did find the stuff i had from there for N lasted ok but i dont love it and to be honest i think it is one of those brands that isnt as good for boys. speaking of nice brands - had forgotten how amazing purebaby is - am loving it for J! yes he is a clotheshorse like N!!! LOL! god help me if i ever have a girl! LOL!
Ange - hows the boob?
hi to everyone else... will be on a little more this week, DH is back at work now... so J and i will be having some home time.
we went to syd for the weekend and it was awesome... i was so worried how the drive wouldl be but they were both fantastic and both slept ok there and coped well with being schlepped here and there. N was in top form and had a wonderful weekend! i was on sucha high about how well it all went and it was sooo great to spend time with my friends there. i think we will need to plan another one soon...
did i tell yuo all that we hve to get orthotics for N? sorry i am confused about what i wrote and what i havent. milk brain!
ETA - leemar - woooo hooo not long to go now!
Hey PP! Nope, you didn't say you had got them, just that you probably would have to. Do you think it's making a difference yet? Erin has them as her feet roll in something terrible, but with them in her feet are great. How did you go finding some small enough though? Great to hear that the trip went so well too.
Leanne, that's come around so fast!!! I guess you're madly washing just so you can pack it all LOL. It would be confusing though as they are coming out of summer and Vegas is hot most of the year anyway isn't it?
sherie - we dont have them yet, just have to get them. i think we get them froma physio who will create moulds of his feet first... so they are custom made. not looking fwd to trying to keep him still and happy for that experience
gotta go - J crying!
Hi girls!
Leanne: ohhh! you're trip is so close!!!!!! :dance:
PP: you mentioned that N might need them...wow! so how do they work? you can put them into shoes right?? (i have a friend with them but have never really asked :redface:).
glad that the trip went well! it is always a nice surprise when the bubbas do well and gives you hope for future trips and good times (at least it does with me lol!)
MM: oh yeah girl, you better start saving LOL!
Sherie: wise words, wise words...we just had a look at all our stuff in the spare room and wow, we need to do some serious culling LOL! luckily we held onto all our removal boxes from the last time so that is one less thing to really think about. but i think a 'sidewalk sale' (we have no garage LOL!) is def in order...
AFM: all good here. back at work (and on BB!). have stalked our new place sufficiently and partaken of some of the local cafes. all good!
went out last night with leila and DH to a 100 publication dinner of arena magazine. it was great fun. at first i was nervous as leila was the only toddler amongst a crowd of adults and everyone was standing around with drinks...always a bit nerve-racking when bed-time has passed us by LOL! but she did really well, sat at the table like a big girl as we pigged out on divine food and clapped at the speeches like a pro. didnt get to bed until 9.30pm!!
LOL Clare, trust you to suss out all the important things ;) I would need at least 6 months to prepare to move now I reckon. The last time we did it we had hardly anything and no children! Well DS came a few days later, but we hadn't accumulated all the crap we have now ROFL.
Ahhh I see PP. Lollies might do the trick.
Clare You are on such a roll, gala magazine dinners and late bedtimes and I can't tell you how much I'm loving your cool-as-a-cucumber story of how you made your offer and oh so subtley put the pressure on. The house sounds totally amazing - well done! I happen to think an Oct settlement is great - you'll be better prepared for the move by then (remembering the liquid nature of time, pre-move weeks are always shorter than regular weeks LOL).
PP - delighted to hear your weekend in Syd was such a raging success. Must admit we've indulged in more than one packet of 'glove-box lollies' in our car-trip times LOL.
Leanne - I bet you're starting to get pretty excited about your holiday!! :D
Re Maccas - never have done a party there - tho DD1 has been to a couple which left me unimpressed. I think the kids get quite saturated by the monotony of the McD experience, there's nothing to distinguish one McD party from another, kwim? Rainy that's funny about L chaining down 8 nuggets - MIssy E won't touch them. As far as she's concerned those places only sell one foodstuff, C-H-I-P-P-I-E-S (as she shouts in delight every time we drive past a fast food outlet of any brand).
Ange ya poor thing - hope you're feeling better - boob and lungs both.
MM -so pleased to hear AF has made a return! Your DH is so sweet. :)
AFM - am dragging myself around today, not a good day to have to forage out all the paperwork to take to the accountants. At least it will be done, I guess. Just waiting for the violet crumble energy to kick in...:p
Hey everyone a quick update.. We are home.. All is pretty good.. He's a bit fussy but its just getting used to the feeding.. He pretty much wants to feed all the time which im not used to but he seems to be attatching well coz my nipples are still in tact lol.. Asha loves her little brother gave him a big cuddle but she hasn't come home yet we are picking her up from pre school in a few hrs (she's been staying with mum)..
My labour was 4hrs 20mins from waters breaking to birth. Bit different then the 11 with asha!! It was very intense and this time I had the gas because I was getting very worked up and it was just so full on!! Anyway im in the car atm on the way to the shops so I best be off hope to bring another update very soon and post some pics on fb as soon as I get a chance!! Thanks for all the well wishes :)
YAY NONI!!! what a quick birth! i'd be attached to the gas too like no mans business LOL! congratulations again and will be looking forward to seeing the pics!
yay noni - good to see you and sounds like all is going well especially the feeding which is so fab! i hope things go well when you get A as well, i found N was good at the start, had a rough few days and now seems to be ok. he even said 'i love you jacob' out of the blue yesterday which has to be a good sign! i have found i have a lot more ups and downs emotionally this time, i think bc there is guilt factor and a general bedlam that i didnt have before.
Ange - i meant to say i would go to png angle if you get it. i wouldt say that if it was port moresby, but the place you describe sounds great and i agree it woujldbe a great adventure and life experience for you all. you seem to have the guts to do it! and as you say if it doesnt work at the time, you can come home! that said we are looking into oseas opps too and as you say things that would have been fab 5 yrs ago are not as attractive now you have a couple of littlies to think about... when will you find out?
md - hope the vc energy boost is in full force!
Preg- Not sure when job closes. Hopefully we'll hear something by early next week. The recruitment agent has phoned hubby a couple of times saying they were pretty keen to get him up to brissy for an interview and would that suit etc. But no official word about that yet. i have a real desire to go overseas again for a while. Going to Fiji got the travel bug crawling again i think! Pretty sure a podiatrist will make some custom orthotics for you. They are not cheap things though. Not sure about kids but hubby's are a good $600.
Welcome home Noni. :D
Clare - house sounds v.cool! Nth Fitzroy is pretty inner city. :D I'm a bit of a mushroom sometimes....what is arena?
MD- Has the violet crumble energy been and gone???
Leanne- i smiled being referred to as a hot mumma! ;) Not many sleeps now! Are you packed???
MM- i think men generally find it difficult to express themselves, unlike us women! So your hubby is not alone there. Trying to get my husband to talk about how he is feeling is like pulling teeth sometimes. i'm jealous of your Bali trip!
As per my other thread, i now have mastitis. Geez i'm hainvg a winner this week! :lol: Ah well at least i know why this 'cold' is so bad and the AB's should have me feeling a1 in no time.
Baking some lactation cookies, bbl. xx
what are lactation cookies?
ikwym ange re wanting to go oseas again - we are keen to do another stint too - esp before n starts school... but time is ticking on that. basically we will go next yr or go back to melb next yr... and then maybe go in a few yrs..
bummer on the mastitis... but good you have the abs now, i hope they kick in quickly (i think they usually do?). you and rainy really are bosom buddies LOL!
http://forums.bellybelly.com.au/foru...-question.html
i took out 1 C of sugar, just used brown. Added 1 C of flaxseed meal which i ground myself in a coffee grinder, plus sultanas and coconut. Oh, and no chocolate! Lu loves them too. lol
Congrats Noni on the amazing birth of William. Can't wait to hear more and see some muchly anticipated pics.
Congrats on getting that house Clare...it was meant to be.
Hi to everyone else...not much going on here. We're all still sick but getting better slowly. I still sound like I should be working for the phone s*x industry but the pain has reduced.
I am concerned about Sarahs eating though. Dinner time is a really painful time as she just won't eat dinner. She will happily eat cheese and then yoghurt and fruit afterwards. But is really turning her nose up at anything we serve her. Tonight we tried pasta in a tomato based sauce with roasted chook torn up and stirred through. But nope, refused to even try it. She'll do this with anything I offer. We sit down as a family and she gets to choose between highchair and big chair. She even gets to use a grown up fork if she wants but I can't think of what else to try. Oh, and I have really been watching her afternoon snacks to make sure that shes not filling up early. Do any of you wise ladies have any advice? TIA ;)
Kate, we were having exactly the same issues. I couldn't even get her to try food. So i said to her, you can have yoghurt/cheese/pasta (her faves) if you try it. If you don't try it you can't have any. We had a few crocodile tears the first night, but when she realised i was serious (about an hour later!), she had a mouthful and decided it was actually nice and had the whole lot. Then she had yoghurt. The next night i said the same thing, and she was much happier to try it. Since then (about 2 weeks ago) She is a new girl, she eats everything i serve up to her. It might not work for you but worth a shot. If she tries it and doesn't like it, i don't make her have anymore, but she has to try it.
I was trying not to make food an issue, as advised in Pinky McKays book, but i kind of misinterpreted that and was just giving her food she wanted i guess. Now it's no issue, she just has to try the food i make her! Mantaray replied to someone elses fussy eater thread suggesting that method. Worth a shot!
I have been on several times today and every time I get side tracked and don't reply lol.
Noni I cant wait to see some photos of little William, sounds like a great birth.
Ange I loved the lactation cookies, Dh and I used to scoff them every time I made them, mind you it took a bit of convincing before he believed me that eh wouldn't start lactating.
Kate pmsl at your sexy voice, hope your feeling better soon.
Clare the house sounds great, I am so happy for you. I love that your priority was checking out the cafes lol.
MD mmmm now I want a violet crumble
PAP lol at milk brain, I will have to use that one. Sounds like your Sydney trip was a success.
Leanne I am so jealous of your trip!!
Arte now that Noni has popped it means your next WOOOO HOOOO!!!
A big hello to everyone else, I have forgotten what else was said.
Not much happening here, DS starts care tomorrow. I was feeling really good about it but have now checked that I have tissues in my bag lol. I am going to meet a friend for coffee after, she can distract me and at least I am still close to care if I have to go back for some reason. I have arranged a million things to do so that I dont get to lonely. Better go to bed, I did to much cleaning today and am paying for it now.
Oz - Good luck to you & L for his first day at daycare tomorrow. I'm sure all will be fine. Let us know how it all goes.
What do lactation cookies actually do? Do they help with milk production or something lol
I SO hear you ange & pap on the going o/seas thing. We have tossed & turned over that idea many many many times. Ange I think when you have an o/seas holiday as well, it really stirs up that emotion. We want to travel & we want M & future kids to be well travelled too.
Noni - So happy for you & your new family of four. xox So glad to hear the feeding is going well
Trill - I know what you mean, I dont like the idea of buying sweatshop clothing either. :(
Sorry girls gotta keep it short, bed time, but hello to you all!!!!
Just a quickie- Best of luck Katie!
hi girls
i've been reading but everytime i go to reply, i get called away or the phone rings or something gggrrr
we're all still sick here. just a bit of a cough/cold with lots of snot. i'm supposed to be meeting up with a friend at a venue to check it out for the kids' birthday party but now i don't know whether to go or not...do you guys still take your kids out if they're snotty or keep them home?
ange- i was on my deathbed when i had mastitis,so you're doing really well! that's why i didn't think that's what it was in your other thread because honestly i don't think i'd ever felt so rotten in my whole life!
you might hate me but i'm sending non-PNG vibes out to the universe, for purely selfish reasons
katie- best of luck for logan today and for you!!!
speaking of food issues- yesterday lewis had a bowl of coco pops for breakfast with dh, then dad took him up to the bakery for a babycino and chocolate donut...then he was eating a double freddo frog while dad did his supermarket shopping!!! no wonder i can't get him to eat vegetables, he's having way too much of the good life!! LOL
Noni so great to hear from you hun! If he is feeding well and the boobs are feeling good, then stick at it - you're doing so well!! Just think, you have already fed him for longer than you did Asha without any problems at all, so that's an excellent achievement in itself!
Hey Kate! With the food thing, we had HUGE problems with Erin at this age and she would only eat a few mouthfuls at dinner and then she was done and it would take her forever just to do that. It caused some pretty big tantrums (from me ;) ) because I had gone from having Lindsay who practically inhaled food ( still does LOL) to Erin who ate like a sparrow and it sent me mental most of the time. What I did was just stopped fighting her on it. I would always serve up to her what we were eating and if she ate it, she ate it and if she didn't, she didn't. I never have her anything else to eat immediately after her dinner so she didn't think "oh I know she will give me something if I don't eat this" but would wait half hr or so after she had left the table. She eventually grew out of it and started eating everything on her plate (still sooooo slowly though). I couldn't do what Ange did with Erin because she is that stubborn and pigheaded that she would rather not eat at all than have to eat all her dinner kwim? Alister is like Erin in that I serve up what we are having and he will take it or leave it, or just eat the bits he likes but there is no *fight* to get him to do it. I don't worry about it nearly as much as I used to years ago because I know that if he's eaten well during the day, then it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat much at night.
Oz, I hope the first day goes well for you both. It will get easier for you :hug: Great plan to have a coffee with a friend though.
G, Unless they are really crook with fever/chills and over tired, I will still take them out if they have a snotty nose cause sometimes I just have to. So long as he is warm he would be right. LOL at your Dad treating Lewis, Alister gets the royal treatment over at the IL's too and doesn't eat lunch or dinner once he's home.
Well I had an early start to the day - 4.30am! Alister woke up and before I could settle him again he was standing up with his pillow asking to get out of bed. He didn't want to hop into bed with me so I put him on the lounge, put the telly on and come back to bed. He did sound a bit croupy too. He came in a bit later asking for a bottle, so I gave it to him and put him back on the lounge and then he came in again with his empty bottle so I picked him up, put the bottle on the sink and then went to put him back on the lounge and he threw up all over both of us, then on the loungeroom floor, then the bedroom floor and then the loungeroom floor again! So when I got us both cleaned up, vomit cleaned up best I could at 5am I stayed in the loungeroom with him where he went back to sleep, I dozed till the kids got up at 6. he is absolutely fine now - had a vegemite sandwich for brekkie, then two teddy bear biccies and just had a bottle and it's like he was sick at all. I think it's just because he was coughing and a bit phlegmmy that he threw up. So that's my day so far LOL.
typing one handed lol.. Ashas at swimming lessons atm so everyone here is just resting.. ive put pics on my fb and in the sept group for u all to see finally lol!!
he seems a bit of a lazy feeder atm.. sometimes going 5hrs in between feeds which has me a bit worried but i do have milk now so is that normal?
having a check up tmw for weight etc so i spose we will find out how were doin then :)
thanx again for all the support hope to be a better belly buddy n get round to personals as soon as i can but no promises just yet lol :)
hi everyone
i'm sorry, i'm just here for a quickie, as i saw Noni had posted.
I said it on facebook, but once again - Congratulations on the birth of the new little man in your life. :)
on the feeding issue - i remember when Hannah was a newborn, she would sleep for hours at a time, and i was worried that she wasn't feeding enough. He will let you know for sure when he's hungry. Enjoy the sleepy bubby phase.
Will catch up with everyone later. (how many times have i said that lately:rolleyes:)
anyway, thinking of you all
Hey Noni - I will have to have a looky at the pics in a sec. With the feeding, barb has always advised that a sleepy baby isn't really a 'good' baby at all kwim? They should be waking often for feeding at this stage (not to contradict you at all jaz :hug: ) so I would probably be waking him for feeds as it will help your milk supply regulate, because you don't want to get it in, then have trouble keeping it because he's not feeing enough ATM kwim? In a few days he should be more wakeful so he probably wont seem so lazy by then.
