Hey folks
Hope everyone had a good weekend.... Went into town today and just happened to run into some work friends in Pitt St Mall! So had lunch with them. Other than that just did some errands and caught up on dishes etc. Weighed Beth today at the chemist - 6.92 kilos (with her clothes on) so she's doubled her birth weight... no wonder I get a sore arm from carrying her now!
sweetpea what were you up to in Sydney? glad you had a good trip!
Missy OMG solids already! I guess that its about that time though! can't believe Beth is nearly four months already! it's going too quick!
SW - sending you calm moving vibes!
Anastasia sorry to hear things are so strained with your DH at the moment. Hope it gets better soon, but feel free to come in and vent anytime.
Tannis good luck with speaking at the breastfeeding clinic.... can't remember when it is, but thinking of you, I'm sure you'll do fine!
Tenny yay for the Christmas tree! Know how you feel hon I'm a shorty too
big to Kel, Mel, Mez, and everyone!
Kel
Pixie, was in sydeny because my dh had a course to attend and work paid for us to stay there so only had to pay petrol and food, we stay 15 min walk from darling harbour was great. But looking forward to a weekend at home as the weekend before was in Melbourne.
Tasia: Glad you had an ok night. I wish we all lived closer too! YAY for getting the xmas tree up! I can't wait to do ours!
Missy: Thats great Liam is taking the farex ok. It has to be pretty hot for me to get in too, I am a sook when it comes to cold water haha, it takes me about 20mins just to get in!
Kell: Yeah I'd put one on too, keep it nicer for longer. I'm hoping AF forgets to visit next month haha
SweetPea: Raegan's a good girl traveling well! Other than having the pram, hope you enjoyed yourself!
Pix: OMG Beth is doing fantastically! Ash was 6.5kg last Fri with clothes, but I'll get her 4mth check up by the CNH and they will check her bare weight. I'm speaking tomorrow night! I hope I don't forget LOL.
Spent all day shopping again, I really have to stop! I was meant to be staying home today! We went for another swim today (where my nephew left the pool gate open last time) I kept my eye on Jayden at all times and made sure the gates were shut! Jayden didn't want to come home so he stayed there for dinner and might stay the night, although the kids have school tomorrow so he probably shouldn't. I feel a little lost without him, Chris and Ashlea are asleep. Chris doesn't want him to stay the night, but TBH I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep! Might wake Chris up and see what he wants to do.
Well had a lovely weekend. Spend some time with my DH yesterday and today as he took the day off! We went to the health nurse today for Isabel's 4 month check up. she is doing really well her stats are:
Weight - 6.34kg
Height - 62cm
HC - 41cm
I am really happy and she is in the 50th percentile. She has hit all her milestones too woohoo, like holding, rolling, standing etc and the nurse was very happy. Oh and she is a worm Angie couldn't get over how much she moves around.
Today we put up our Christmas tree I love it! I will put a couple of pics on FB if you guys want to see.
Ok I'll do personals tomorrow need to go and dream feed Izzy. Have a lovely night all.
Just popping in quickly i think i can hear Keira stirring.
Had a terrible night with poor Keira.
She's just been so clingy.. but shes a baby that doesnt like to be rocked to sleep either.. so last night she was crying when we put her down and crying when we picked her up. Gave her panadol as we thought she must be teething. Shes had little signs, just general clinginess etc. But anyway got her so drift off so i went and hopped back in bed. 20 minutes later she woke with the most loudest cry. Crying hysterically. Wouldnt stop. Was trying to stop her from crying.. nothing worked. Gave her some more bottle as she only had 150mls. She sculled that down. Started crying again. Took her into our room as was starting to wake Jesse. Gave her to DH. Thought maybe we'll give her some more panadol as its fine to double dose. Went to put it in her mouth and she vomitted everywhere. So i ran and got some puke rags and she continued to vomit. She stopped, gave her her dummy. DH went and changed her clothes as she was covered. And then she was back to her old self.. squeeling and talking. No idea what happened. Guess little miss had an upset tummy? So got her to go to sleep. Went to bed.. 1/2 hour later here some russelling in our room. Wake DH thinking it was a mouse.. was a bloody big ****roach. So he got that. Back to bed. 1/2 hour later Jesse starts. DH goes in.. he had just been bitten by a mozi. 1/2 hour later hear this buzzing mozzi in our room. Ehhh!!!!! Couldnt find it..
Hmmm so now my anxiety is sky rocketing. I was paranoid about Jesse before.. now i am her. She was just coughing and now im almost in tears worrying shes going to be sick.
Anyways.. i better get her up and feed Keira and pray she doesnt bring it back up.
Just a quick note for me as Liam is stiring.
Cant believe he is still asleep. Went down at 9.30pm and is still sleeping.
hey Kell. Glad you had a nice time with your friend. Yes I did get your number and ill be there with bells on...so to speak. Im not wearing them as I know im in the xmas spirit but not that much...lol. OMG LOL @ your night. That sounds like some thing out of a comedy movie. "mum and screeming babies" oh im sorry I shouldnt LOL but wow that was a big night... Im glad little Keira is ok and oh yukky about the ****roach...
sweetpea welcome back hun. glad your back safe. I cant imagin how hard it must have been with the pram. Oh bummer on the parent room too.
Pix yay on beths weight. That a good gain. Yes Liam is starting farex alittle early then I would normally but he isnt drinking more bottles and is waking lots during the night. Last night was the first night sleep through since before we went ot mums. He seems to be loving it and I would have started him in a week anyways. Cant believe Liam is almost 5 months.. well 1 and a bit...lol
Oh Tan isnt it scarey with pools. We have one and im so scared all the time. I some time think is it worth all the hassel but as dh says its only untill they can swim but thats a good 3 years...Callum isnt aloud out the back by himself at all unless we are in the back room. We can see him from there. Takes me forever to get in the pool too...lolv
Ayapi great stats hun. Oh Im going to have to look at the tree. I love christmas...cant you tell...lol
well better go callum wants more toast and liam is talking.
Mel: GL with M today, hope she handles her needles!
HAPPY 4mths MEHKELTI!!
Mez: Izzy's stats are looking great!! Thats great she has reached her milestones! Ashlea is holding, thats about it haha. Although, I did forget to mention Sunday night Ashlea rolled from tummy to back in the bath twice, she hasn't done it out of the bath yet.
Kell: Bug for you! You poor thing, what a horrible night! Hope you can catch up on sleep or at least rest today! We have been getting those big ****roaches too and their babies!!!
MIssy: Yay for Liam sleeping in! I don't let Jayden in our backyard by himself because of the dogs, don't think they would do anything to him but you never know, I was bitten across my face by a normally placid labrador (sp?) when I was about 3 or 4.
Another hot day today, 1 load of washing done (still gotta hang it out though). I better get J out to play before it gets too hot.
Morning all - hopefully I get a good post out whilst DD is sleeping and DS is watching Dora and eating some fruit.
Tenny - I'm glad you got the Fess stuff - did it work for you? DD's cold is much better now - still got a terrible cough though.. how's your bub?
Tan - I *think* we are coming up the weekend after xmas - we will go to Hervey Bay on the Friday, stay there the night, come to Bundy on the Saturday, stay the night there (accommodation recs please!!) and hang out with you guys (and see Wade & D) and then go back to Hervey Bay on the Sunday, stay there the night and THEN back to the coast on the monday... I think thats the plan at the moment anyway Thanks for the 4 month wishes.. is Jayden feeling better after his puky night?
Anastasia - all I have to say that if you don't work on your relationship now - it will be HELL when #2 comes along. Its so much harder to focus on your relationship when you have a toddler and a newborn. Tell your DH to come up here and see what a real father is like. I may have a lot of complaints about DH but he IS a good father, and does help alot around the house. We have a pretty strict routine at night (especially since I am back at work) and usually our fights is about him trying to help me too much and getting in the way!!!!
Pixie - woohoo for clever Beth!!! What a star!!! I can't wait to meet her
Oh and I suppose, you and Bear hehehehehe and great guns with the weight gain!! I'll find out today what Miss M is...thanks for the 4 months wishes too
Missy - I'm glad you had a good time away!!! And what a good little sleeper you have ther - do you think its the farex helping his sleeping? So many divided opinions out there - I'd like to know what you think.
Sweetpea - glad you had a good time - the ergo is my fav accessory at the moment too.
Mez - she is doing so well!!!! You must be very proud of her *mwah*
Kel - what a yuck night - I hate nights like that!!! Hope you get a chance to nap today and that K is feeling better. for the anxiety - I get panic attacks so I can understand... maybe some rescue remedy can help?
Well all is good here. Got DS sitting on my lap so better gooooooo!!!!
just back from Mach nurse, no time to post all the results. Alyssa is smack bang on the 50th percentile with everything except height (she's just a smidge on the tall side!), and the words that the mach nurse used to describe her were: "Scarily advanced for her age", and said it was unusual to find such a precocious AND calm child Apparently that mix is a rarity - although I suspect that we have a few here in this group!
Busy busy. The move is tomorrow. Have done my KK shopping and sent it off this morning, so at least that won't get forgotten in the move! Now gotta rush off to the bank and take in our coin collection. Last time we did this we ended up with close to $500 in coins. I'm tipping this time it's pretty damned close to that again. Funny thing is, this is only 2 months worth of pocket change!! I took the last lot in when Alyssa was 2 months old and used it to open her bank account (hubby agreed all coins collected can go to her). Since we're already over the no-tax limit for a child's bank account for the year, unfortunately she won't be getting this lot. We'll just keep track of all the $$ we've allocated to her and give it to her later when we don't have to pay top tax bracket for it!
so she's doubled her birth weight... no wonder I get a sore arm from carrying her now!
can't believe Beth is nearly four months already! it's going too quick!
to Kel, Mel, Mez, and everyone!
HAPPY 4mths MEHKELTI!!
for you! You poor thing, what a horrible night! Hope you can catch up on sleep or at least rest today! We have been getting those big ****roaches too and their babies!!!
