Hi all,

Mel - Sounds like a good day out!

ETA HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLISE!

Teagan has had two 2+ hr sleeps today. She had to be resettled after 40mins on the second sleep but is still alseep now
my only question now is how do I fit in 8 feeds with all this sleeping!? I'm happy about the sleeping but worried now that she's going to wake up twice in the night cause she's hungry!

I'm soooo bad, bought some more toys for teagan and a little something for Alannah, but I'll put that away for a rainy day! I also spent my Myer voucher and got Teagan a cute snug time sleeping bag that has all this embroidered stuff on it! too cute! I am NOT going to put anything on my credit card at least for a week! we don't need it!!!

Better go DH has to do some work. OH before I go have to give him credit for cleaning the kitchen, not just cleaning it, but the front of the cupboards,the bin cupboard, the tiles and the fridge and freezer inside and out!!

Happy Birthday Ellise!!

Happy Birthday Ellise.

I have to ask how many of you are still feeding your babies up to 8 times a day Cooper is down to 5feeds and he is doing wonderfully but the CHN told me that this was fin as long as he is getting enough in each feed at his age he should be eating at least 190 mils for 5 feeds and 160 mils for 6 feeds I was feeding him about 7-8 times a day before we went to the sleep school and she asked me why and I said cos he was always waking every 40 mins or so we weighed him before his feed from my breasts and after and found he wasnt getting enough from me that was why he was waking all the time cos he was hungry so I now top him up every feed with formula and he is drinking about 60 -70 mils from a bottle sometimes more and I know that he is getting enough cos he is now sleeping up to 2-3 hrs after every feed so he was hungry before.

We have done the shopping and now we are going over to see the bils to give them a card and stuff for their birthday so will BBL

Yeah on the bargins Mel.

Joeleen.

thank you for the Happy Birthdays

Carolyn - how tiny does she look in that car seat I love that dress in the recent picture, did you make that? Ellise has that cheeky look like the girls do.

Today while doing the leaflets I walked through a spider web and the spider went down my top Ok the spider was probably a couple of millimetres big but EW! Glad it wasn't an orb spider, I've had one of them leap of my face and they are huge *shudder*

DF is cooking me a homemade burger for dinner, damn straight a man belongs in the kitchen

Joeleen - it makes sense that babies wake because they are hungry, but at night Wil has mostly formula these days and he will only drink about 150mL then refuses anymore. He wakes around 2-3am and then again at 4:30-5:30am. I guess he's just an early riser like the girls were. He goes down around 5-6pm though so that's a nice sleep really til 2-3am.

How many feeds a day - god knows with Wil, I'm still demand feeding and don't keep track. But it would be 6-8 I reckon - some days more some days less, depends what he wants.

Happy 2nd Birthday Ellise.

Gorgeous photos - love the carseat one.

Ewwww spiders.

Um, number of feeds - I don't know either - Maybe 7 or 8(ish) and he is having one bottle (formula) as well. I'd love to get him off the formula so he doesn't smell - but I can't be superwoman with a business, a job & two toddlers to run around after - so I think the formula is probably here to stay. Or it takes my sanity with it! LOL.


We went to Scienceworks (science museum for kids) today - had a ball. Then to Willy for icecream & home with three exhausted kidlets.

Yesterday I made pasta with pesto & a bit of cheese for lunch - well DH loved it so much he got me to make it again for dinner tonight. Bless him. Such an easy meal it didn't feel like "making dinner"

Cheers
A

Hi all,

Went to a christening today. Arch got grumbly and hungry and I was trying to figure out if it was OK to flop a boob out in church. Thought stuff it - I was up the back no one will see. Well he was half way thru and they had that part of the service where they do the "peace be with you bit" and everyone shakes hands etc (Anglican service). All of a sudden the priest appears beside me, trips over my handbag and wants to shake my hand...... so much for discreet!!!!!

Feeds - between 5 or 6...... 6 is better - he's a bit unsettled on 5....

Lia- i flop it out all the time in church. The only time i have been discreat is when i was up the back and if you looked straight down the isle then you saw me (the door is off to the side), so i moved. A while ago we got called up for prayer and I was feeding Ellise at the time, and everyone turned around. I had to stand up- with the baby still on me and gave her to a friend (male) and he saw everything, my whole boob was in his face! luckily he is not so innocent before that incident.

Amanda- how do you do the pesto?

Mel- i didnt make that- its from a WAHM shop on ozebaby called Tikki, i got it second hand tho as they are $$. I can make that sort of thing tho.
i just finished this:


no of feeds- well Lily has been sleeping thru- so we are on between 5-6 per day, depending on if we go out. It can be as high as 8+. im not really counting tho as i have been known to be hooked on that before and i just wnat to go with the flow.

thank you for the Happy Birthday wishes. She is asleep now and is oficially 2

Happy Birthday Ellise! She looks so cute in those photo's.

Alex is having 6 feeds a day though he is definetley having a growth spurt at the moment. I haven't yet tried formula top ups but if he is as unsettled tomorrow I will try boiled water like the CHN told me too. When he stayed over night at my mum and dads he took 2 bottles for one feed and I think they were both 160mls.

My hubby also made homemade hamburgers they were so yummy and filling. I made a cake so of course after cleaning up after that I am still left to clean up after him.

Haven't done much lately just been on you all.

Have been researching strollers to travel with and I think I have decided to get the Maclaren Quest Sport - heard some great things about it and all the negetive things wouldn't really worry me. This will last me until he is around 4 years old and will go on about 4 flights in the next year or so. I cannot carry him in a carrier for very long as I have a lot of back problems and he is just such a heavy baby already.

Joeleen - howz the wedding plans coming on? Not much longer yet.

Alex is 11 weeks today. OMG I want my little baby back, how can I stop him growing.

Sonia

wow sonia- you threw me off a bit with your change of name! i want a stroller too, we have a massive pram, and its just too bulky for my liking. after winter ill go shopping for one.

OMG- i just read a website from an eb person) about their son who passed away after drinking weed killer. i couldnt finish it- i was in tears!!! i told len i just want to wrap Toby in cotton wool- (i wouldnt though) but i just dont want anything to happen to him. i will NEVER stop worrying about him, being a mother has made me realise how much my parents must love me (struggle to show it though)...

we have a cry room at church that i go to feed toby in.

my Sil is staying with us tonight... long story, but basically there is tension at home coz her dh wants her to go see a psychologist (relly spacy lately ), but she doesnt want a bar of it ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLISE! love the dress carolyn! i want a girl!!!!

eek on the spider mel! i hate the orb spiders! i nearly walked into one the other night- scary!!!! *shudder*

number of feeds- not sure, still demand feeding. maybe 7?? when should you stop demand feeding and follow a 'routine'??

sorry such a scrambled post. my mind is racing!!!

morning bright and early...well dont know about the bright bit, its all smokey outside, must have been a fire somewhere, glad i took th ewashing down last night.


NUmber of feeds- Oliver is a formula baby, he has 5 feeds in a day one of these being the 5 am one and he has between 160 and 180 mls.

going to try and get oliver into the DR today his cough is worse and he has not been drinking his bottles, down to 100ml a bottle and missing a couple of them, thinking he might have a sore throat, chloe used to stop eating when her throat was sore and he is very grumpy. poor boy.
I think im getting the same thing, been coughing all night.

He was a good boy for Dh, i left them at home when i went to see mum, dh actually got him to sleep more than i did!! he resttled for DH aswell, no fair, he wont do that for me, just screams his head off, wont even take the dummy.

Morning
Mandy- Goodluck at the doctors today and hopefully you don't get it.

Number of Feeds- Cohen usually has 5 bottles a day now. He will usually drink 180mls when he wakes in the morning at 6.30 then 10:00,1:00 with 150mls then the 3.30 and 4.30 feeds he will take 180mls most of the time. Then he has a bath then a cuddle then bed. Then the cycle starts again.

Mel-How is your throat and cough going, is it getting any better? I hate spiders as well, we get so many out here, if I see any spiders in the house I usually get the vacuum out and get them with that

Marika- Glad to hear that you got your BB finally. I have never heard of a bench top dishwasher, I hate doing the dishes, so that sounds great. Happy 3 months to Grace also, they are getting their own personality now and it's so cute

We had a good weekend at home, it was the first time in ages. Ryder took Cohen to see Nanny & Poppy he left at around 11 and didn't come home till 3 he even went and got groceries. I ran around and cleaned the whole house with no inturruptions, it was great. Then yesterday he cleaned the pantry out and put food into containers. He was very domesticated this wkend

Oh is anyone with MBF, they will be giving people money back if the scheme goes through. Confusing. I don't mind the $$$$ though, will come in handy for next the next baby

BBL
Sandra

Morning

Unsettled night here, Wil woke at 10pm, 12am, 1am, 2am, 3:30am then again at 6am to finally get up Just when I thought he was into a decent routine again he does this!

Feeling a little better Sandra, though this cough is so gross!!

Morning all,

feeds - As I've said before Teagan has been having 8, but is cutting down to 7 I think, thats all she had last night and I was worried she would wake twice in teh night instead of once. She woke at 1:30am and I thought here we go, but she went back and didn't wake until 5:45am, so that was pretty good! althought I did have to give her a little settle about 3am.

Mel - just when you think you've got them figured out they change! hopefully it'll just be one unsettled night.

Rinnie -Hope oliver gets better soon! I've had a cold and been hoping teagan wouldn't get it, so far so good.

What do you all think of my first attempt at a signature!? still needs some work but haven't had time to play with photoshop, you could spend days on that thing!

Morning,

Mandy hope you feel better and so does oliver hope he starts to feel better too.

Mel- Eww about the spider I hate spiders. Sorry to hear you had a bad night.

Carolyn that dres is so cute.

The wedding plans are all good I have to get to a dress maker to have my dress taken up and I need to get all the rsvps back still waiting on a few so will just have to wait for a few more days but the cut off isnt till thursday so still got alittle bit longer before I start to ring people to see what the go is.

Well better go and try to do some house work will the little one is asleep.

Joeleen.

Joeleen - so exciting, not far away now

Sandra - yep we are in MBF as well - have been for 11years, we are getting just under $3000 - how about you??? Who ever thought you'd actually GET something for you health insurance .

Not going to swimming today. Ben has had a rotten cough for a few days now and he is just getting to be on the mend, I dont want to set him back by getting him cold at the pool .

Child psych is visiting us today..... (that reminds me I have to send the receipts into MBF!!) She's having her first meeting with him (in his own environment) see how we go .

Ben decided he wanted Pizza last night, so we said OK and we headed to the Pizza shop - he wouldnt eat it grrrrr he's had it b4, he said he likes mummy's pizza better and there wasnt enough cheese

Morning

Bram has no clothes. Well he has about 3 wondersuits and 5 cardigans and everything else in 000 is summer stuff. So I have to go to mum's next week & get Henry's old 00 stuff even though it will be swimming on him. Mum is in China at the moment so can't go this week.

Hey I didn't give Bram any formula yesterday coz my breasts were really full & I was trying to get him to empty those - and we just has a really orange, non-smelling, runny poo - sooooo much better than the green, stinky formula ones we've been getting.

Oh man, what happened in my life that I spend so much time talking about baby poo???

Oh aren't formula poos horrid Amanda The smell nearly makes me gag. Wil had a real gross green one this morning

Wil is still fussing at the boob, but I'll perserve expressing - no way I want to tackle full formula poos just yet LOL. I know I'd get used to them, but OMG yuck!

I've got alll Wil's winter 00 stuff on layby, will be paid off in a couple of weeks. I have to go through and cull all of the stuff that no longer fits him and the girls and get rid of it. Make way for the winter stuff. Though it's still warm enough here to get away with short sleeved stuff in the day. Wil already wears 00 t-shirts too. He's growing too quickly

Lia - had to LOL at ben's not enough cheese comment, i have the opposite reaction with Indi, she likes the pizza to be delivered! heh heh, i prefer making our own... then i KNOW that the useless kids making it wont just chuck meat on it to get the vegetarian

Gio - baby poo is a great topic - what are you on about!?!?

i have been having troubles with clothing too, everyone got her 000 summer outfits, that only fit her now and its too darn cold to wear them as is. I have been layering them tho, eg: putting the dresses on over the cotton long sleeve suits... most of the clothes look ok that way.... going to have to start buying her some winter stuff tho all the things i have are 00 and just far too big.

Mel - well done on some great bargains!

joeleen - how exciting things must be getting! i hope you get your RSVPs back and dont have to chase anyone.


well, im just at work and trying to get things done. have a meeting to prepare for and i have to transfer the $ for the pays... better get to it!

Vee

Thats no good Mel hope Wil sleeps better tonight for you, you must be soooo tired. Glad to hear you are getting a little better Hope the cough goes soon. Oh I can't stand the smell of s26 that makes me it's such a horrid smell I reckon.

Lia- I know, I never thought we would get money back, I'm not complaining lol. Yeah 15 years in MBF and we are getting $2665, so that will come in handy for sure. Hope the Psych goes well with Ben today.

Well I decided to go for a walk around the block, It's a big block( I didn't think it was that big) My Ipod is hocked up to my shoes and it tells me the distance, the time it takes and the calories I burn. I walked 6.20km, Time 1:10:57 and 510 calories. I took Daisy and she stopped half way and wouldn't move, so I put her in the carry bag underneath the pram, she looked so funny. The hills are so much easier in the car Cohen slept the whole time and woke when I walked through the gate, great timing.

Time for lunch, while the little man is sleeping, bbl
Sandra

Morning all,

Feeds per day? We have been down to 5 feeds since Tilly was 8 weeks old, 6 weeks now. She has been sleeping through since then too. We are also routine feeding, demand feeding just doesn't work for us. Feeds are; 7.30am, 11.30am, 3.30pm, 6.30pm, 9.30pm (dreamfeed). Tilly is feeding both sides, about 10 minutes each side. She is a very fast feeder and I have HEAPS of milk! Its still squirts and gushes out and I have a huge letdown, sometimes the feeling of the letdown actually makes me feel nausious

Joelene - how exciting about the wedding, not long now!

Sam - well done of the new sig! Wish I could work out how to do my own, have been waiting for a week for a sig maker to finish one for me, still waiting . . .

Carolyn - Ellise looks gorgeous, love the 3rd pic of the dress.

Argh - just had a delivery arrive of products and my supplier has completed stuffed up my order!!! Off to make a phonecall !

ETA - some piccies!

Finally finished my first pair of longies, and can't believe they actually fit!


And one of the two kiddies, Tom accidently headbutted Tilly in this pic as I took it so she was just about ready to cry;



BBL

am i the only one with a fully formula fed bubba?
with nappies i just breath thru my mouth not my nose until after i change him...then no gagging

No Mandy there are a few formula fed babies

The girls were formula fed after a month so I've changed my fair share of formula poos, that's why I don't want Wil to go onto it fully just yet. If I can hold out until around 6 months when solids start it won't matter and the poos will be stinky enough then anyway!!!

Speaking of poo since it's the topic of the day LOL H took off her own nappy this morning (still have night time nappies) and there was a nugget in there apparently. Well must have been coz it fell on the floor and she then stepped on it

Great pants Anna!

WARNING VERY

my poor littlman, this morning i hear him crying and i found him laying on the floor (lino thankfully) with an overflowing nappy (he has gastro) so i threw him in the shower and disinfected the floor, and threw his PJ's in the rubbish.- not a nice way to wake mummy in the morning.

Ok over now.

Lily didnt sleep thru last night- but it was about 11pm till 5am, so cant complain really.

carolyn- oh no about your little man- was it M or T?

mel- lol about the nugget poo! at the ccc i used to work at there was one girl who ALWAYS had nugget poos! one day we found a trail of nuggets in the nursery room- we were QUICK to find them all (i hope ) coz there were babies crawling around.

anna- those photos are gorgeous! LOVE the longies! i have been waiting for a sig since the 26th of alast month (annika) but she has been pretty busy

what are the final details for the sydney meet??

toby took a bottle of formula!!!! thats such a relief as that means i dont have to worry wether what i express is enough. not looking forward to the poo though maybe ill let lenny change it if he does it when L is home

my SIL is still here- she is just having a shower now. she only had breaky at lunch time, and is REALLY spaced out. i hope she gets to a councellor or dr about it asap. she had pnd with her 1st kid, and i think its back i feel so sorry for her dh. lenny went to pick her up last night and he said their place was like a bombshell, he works full time and has had to take today off to look after the girls. if you ask her a question she takes a while to get back to you.

ok gotta go express some milk for tonight

Hey girlies!

Am so Oliver has only had 2 breastfeeds in the last 24 hours. I try every feed but he just doesn't want it. And my pump broke so I can't even express to keep my supply up for him. Tried hand expressing but only got 25 ml. I know we have done really well to get this far and am really happy we have, just that it seems to be the end.

I'm still feeling pretty crappy. Really sore throat last night. Hurt to swallow. Not sure what's going on.

Marika, Oliver's eyes are a lot better! Noticed some gunk in his eyes last night so have been putting drops in today. Hopefully it won't hang around for much longer.

Carolyn, hope your little man is better soon.

Must go, Ollie is calling me. Will try and come back later, but might not have time.

Sara i feel for ya buddy, ive started having issues myself

what is up with these babies

I am having massive problems with feeding kaiden at the moment and its making me , i gave him his first formula bottle on sat when i went to wheel of fortune cause i didnt have any expressed milk frozen and ever since kaiden has been shocking, a total different baby. yesterday and today he wont even take the boob, i dont know what the go is he loves his boobie and i have never had any problems at all. I think my supply has dropped, I m taking the blessed thistle tables and have been for a while, so after he feed last night i topped him up with formula and he drank 125mls so he mustnt be getting enough.
and since Saturday he woke at 2.30am sat and Sunday night when he usually sleeps through to 4-5 but last night when i topped him up with formula he slept through to 4.30

so sad

Sorry its about me but just feeling like crap today.

Jodie

I forgot to say the other day that I won something from the nappy hunt! A Cute Tooshies bamboo nappy Can't wait for it to get here!!

Sara & Jodie - you are not alone, I've been having issues for a while now with Wil refusing the breast. So annoyed as today I pumped for the second time and got about 70mL and I left it on the bench and forgot to put it in the fridge, so it was wasted

I've been pumping a bit lately, and I think I got about 6 feeds in the freezer, DH was saying that we really need to use them .

to those having boobie issues, I had big issue with Ben but still fed till 8m. All good this time. not to jinx it

Sandra - I'm pretty stoked about the $$.

Carolyn - poor T, poor you

MBF - I saw that on Extra or some tv show, some people were saying they were being offered $10,000. It's to sell it off to some other company isn't it, kind of an incentive to get peoples votes to be allowed to do it.

I just opened the door to see my cat Larry with a rat He crunched on it's head before I closed the door quick enough!!!!! EWWWWWWW! Though as DF said, probably better he get it then it come into the house. Where did he find a rat during the day anyway. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Mel!

I'm not sure if Oliver is just confused between the bottle and breast or if he is self weaning? as DF's mum suggested yesterday. Would be a lot of work to get my supply back up to have enough for him now as I'm sure I've almost stopped producing milk now.

As I said before, I'm just glad we have got this far

He's crying again. Trying to get him to sleep in his cot, but he doesn't seem to like it very much!

HI GIRLS!!


Yes i know its been a while since i've posted.. in fact its been ages!!Just had a few personal problems to sort out and now that we are over that things are starting to settle down...

Now on to the update...

I had my D&C done about 3 weeks ago.. IM STILL BLEEDING!! UUGHHH 3 months later.. i have SO had enough of this crap.. doctor has put me on primolut N as it is suppose to slow the bleeding down but i had break through bleeding last tuesday and then yesterday but it seems like it might be ending so i will wait and see this coming sunday is my last does of medicine as i am taking three tablets a day.

Taylin is doing good...she has reflux and we are working through it at the moment with our doctor and child health nurse.. apparently we have tired different formula's and it seems as though if we dont get one that makes her vomit and have the reflux then we go on to the one that makes her constipated the poor lil bubbles... So we are doing a mixture of the both and seeing how that goes.

Next month we will have to get taylins hearing checked again.. there is something in my gut that is telling me there is something wrong despite her passing the hearing with flying colours when you make a loud noise or even when you call her name she does not respond I have told the doctor about this a month ago and we wanted to wait and see if maybe she was just being ignorant or really into what she was looking at.. so i've been testing her in a quiet room with no distraction and well still nothing... sooo next month we are headed to get hearing tested again..we went to doctors today and he has agreed that there does seem to be a problem as he did a few tests on her in his office... * sigh * so he wants to wait another month...

Madaline is doing GREAT! We are still working on the poddy training but she just loves her little sister..and to be hoenst with you i swear they are plotting against mich and i already!

We took maddie bowling for the first time the other day and she just thought it was tops..she did it on the Wii and we thought hummmmm we might actually just take her..lol she loved it!

Maddies birthday is coming up here very soon.. May 16th and she will be the big 3 where has my baby gone!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOO i am gonna attempt making her a scooby-dooby-doo cake... LOL gosh i hope this turns out nice or else i am gonna have to call the professionals!!!!!! LMAO!!

Tay is trying to sit up on her own and she sits in her walker and loves to watch maddie run around the toy room and retreat room and if she had her way she would be doing it too...lol At the moment we are not really laughing but instead she is doing this cough and sneeze for a laugh.. its so flipin cute!!! She just did the biggest one for the doctor it was so cute...

okay i gotta run now.. will come on more often

I will post personals soon.. just need to catch up with what is going on with you all!

Take care

Lori - Wil is the opposite, his hearing must be really sensitive. I laugh loudly and he starts to cry Or any sort of loudish noise and he startles. This cough I have at the moment, initially he freaked out every time, but he's slowly getting used to it. He still jumps though a lot of the time.

hey Lori! good to hear from you! always trust that mother intuition, no matter what the "experts" tell you, it's owrth a second opinion at least. Glad to hear maddie is doing well.


Sorry to hear that a few of you are having feeding problems, hopefully things will settle down and it's only a temporary set back. touch wood we are doing ok in that department.

Alannah ate an apple today and made her tooth loose! she is so excited! I wish she would stop touching it, it make me shiver seeing it wiggle.

bought a swaddle me today. I had seen them for around $35 on a website but went to Brand Depot (factory outlet place) and they had them for $20 so thought I'd try one! I must say I'm pretty impressed so far! Teagan has not been able to escape it ...yet!

Big sleeps to all tonight.

better go so DH can have a shower.

Sam - Oh I remember having loose teeth when I was younger, I just had to fiddle and fiddle with it until it fell out, it was like a compulsion I could not control!!

But yeah it will send shivers down my spine seeing the girls do it when our time comes!!

I get shivers when the girls are colouring in with pencils, just that sound of them pressing the tip so hard along the paper, sometimes making that squeak noise. OMG I'm getting shivers now thinking about it... I have goosebumps LOL.

Hi all,

Nothing much to report - DH is on his way home from Sydney so it will be nice to see him again after a weekend without him...and DD is asleep (touch wood)

Had a quiet day today - went for a walk (not as long as yours though Sandra!!) and DD slept just as we got home...

to all those struggling with milk issues at the moment...

Lori - good to hear from you again!

Sam - I used to fiddle with loose teeth too - wanted the tooth fairy to come sooner...

Anyway - back to waiting for DH to come home...

I've been I thought I'd add some recent piccies of Grace, and will pop in tomorrow for personals!

Night girls

Morning all,

Marika! how cute is she!

Wil, hope DH got home safely. How did you go by yourself all weekend?

Normally Teagan goes down for the night at around 9pm and has a cat nap at around 7pm in our arms as that is her unsettled time. But last night she fell alseep and stayed there! I gave her a feed at 9:15pm and she slept until 1:30, fed then slept until 5:30am. So don't know what that was all about. I think she was just mega tired as she had her big sleep from 6-9am yesterday and only 2 40min ones the rest of the day.

OH and she can escape from the swaddleme but only one hand. It is a bit big ATM, and maybe when I get better at doing it properly, I think it was too low on one shoulder.
