Wow...we got to another thread! Yay..I'm first!!!!
Skye....wow a toothy peg. Yes its a long drawn out process alright. Olivia teethed from 8 months til 26months. It explains why shes unsettled....along with being ill. Hope shes on the mend.
My girls are still sick. Am contemplating going back to the drs. Olivia has had a temp over the past few days and her cough is no better. Becca has bright yellow snot and is not feeding well nor sleeping too well. I have the vaporiser going but doesnt do much.
Got to run...Olivia has just got into the hydrozole cream...
I've had M sick since the weekend. He's getting better and now C is getting it. Poor bugger is velcro child stuck to my side. I hope Ruby doesn't get it now.
So sorry to hear you have sick kiddies and bubbas I hope they get on the mend very soon, I hate the cold weather not that we are getting much up here in the sunny north!! I have been getting around in singlets and shorts.
Miss B is doing very well, nearly 7 1/2 months now! Dragging all around the house, doing my cleaning for me. No more teeth to report but in saying that I didn't even know she had teeth when her first came through at 4 1/2 months with the second close behind. Solids are going well but I have backed off on offering 3 times a day as I think she may be constipated? Has had formed little nuggets passed but not a big full nappy for abit over a week now but she doesn't seem in pain just that I can see her straining. What should I do? Am still breast feeding 5 times a day but she will only stay on for however long she wants and I do give her a sippy cup to play with and suck but I dont think she gets much water.
Must go and keep packing, we are going south for the weekend, Miss B's first plane ride aaaaahhhhh! I am so nervous! Are there any tips I should try? We dont get home til way past her bedtime so I am going to feed at the normal time on the plane and top her up when we get home just before bed? Am with the in laws so it should be very FUN FILLED (sarcasm *), I may miss the plane tomorrow, I wish. Hubby and I had a big blue after the 7 am breakfast date we had, cut short story - routine was put out which I didnt have a problem with but as I watched Miss B falling asleep in peoples arms I decided it was time to go and hubby said I am 'too controlling'. News flash - Miss B is content and happy (as inlaws say all the time because of me and the routine that they always want to destroy!! They are tryng to test me and crack me I'm sure, but NEVER will I, especially for the sake of MY DAUGHTER!! I feel better! Hope bubbas are good and talk soon
Hope all the sick bubbas are getting better!! Bella is getting her top teeth at the moment and not that happy about it! She has her 2 bottom ones.
Not much else happening around here - Bella will be 7 months old on Monday and showing no interest in crawling - hates being on her tummy and just lives sitting up all then time! I guess she will figure it out at some stage!
Have a shocker of a headache and Bella has decided that she doesnt want a sleep today so neither can I!
Hi ladies. I just found this thread!!! So let me introduce us. I'm Kristy and my litle terror is Jack. He's my first baby. He's on solids and formula and his teeth are waiting to break through. Just started crawling but not sitting. And he loves wiggling
Just wondering when you'd take bubs for their next check up with CHN? Is it 8mths or 9?
Hey kristie wlcome to our group, my next appointment is 8 months old...depends on your nurse. Jack sounds like fun!!!
Zoo- have fun on your trip...am sure you'll be fine. Rebecca was constipated not too long ago. Can you give her some water? Or put some brown suger in water or give prunes for breaky? I ended up using a suppository...moved out all the hard bits!
Kate hope youre feeling better. Bec can sit now for longer periods and rolls and rolls....not interested in getting up on all 4s yet!
Leigh I wanted to wish you all the very best. I know tonight is going to be a difficult one for you, but I hope you take some time to enjoy your last pregnancy moments and enjoy your family of 4 before it turns into a family of 5! I wish you smooth sailing with your ceaser and that your recovery is fast. I am looking forward to hearing from you again very soon and hopefully we can see some pics of that special little bub in there (are you on facebook?) Remember you have highly experienced people who are going to do your op, so I hope that relaxes you a bit. Try and get some good rest tonight and I am looking forward to hearing the great news. BIG HUGS x o xo
Thanks Mel and Kate. I feel rushed off my feet still. I'm still in the middle of packing. DH is at work until 1am so just me and the girls and mum home. I feel sad coz I haven't had any time to spend with the kids tonight. I feel really anxious and can't relax, don't think I will be able to sleep. Hopefully I get some sleep though. I'm trying not to think about the negatives, just the positives.
I will try and pop on before my c/s tomorrow but if not I will be back online tomorrow arv to tell you girls my news, if I can't get on I will text Kate and she can let you all know for me.
Thanks for everything girls, it has meant so much to me to be able to chat to you all and to get such good advice from you all xxx
All went well. I have another gorgeous girl. No name yet. She weighs 2670g, 47cm long & 33cm head circ. I'm so in love with her. No cuddles yet, she's sleeping. She's in my room with me. My general anesthetic went well. Will keep u all up to date!

I hope they get on the mend very soon, I hate the cold weather not that we are getting much up here in the sunny north!! I have been getting around in singlets and shorts.
No flying advice sorry! Never have flown with any of the kids.
Thinking of you and wishing you all the very best. 
I know it will all be fine darling.
