Just a very quick post cause I'm at work. So feel for you GJen, I'm sitting at my desk struggling big time after having had 3.5 hours sleep last night...not all in one block either! No idea what was up with Floyd last night, for once he went down ok but we were basically up on and off from 11.30-4, at one stage dont know which one of us was crying more! He woke up this morning soooo happy, pity I feel and look like $hit

our computer is broken so not sure when I will post again, hopefully we will go shopping this weekend

Toni - what I did when my boys were ready to give up their daytime sleeps was make them have an hour of quiet time in their rooms instead. Just set them up with books or lego and they knew they had to play quietly until I came to get them. Worked really well - they had a bit of time to relax and I got to drink a cup of coffee in peace!

Yay for the good scan WW.

Am thinking that Cody doesn't need his afternoon nap anymore. . The last few days he has taken ages to go to sleep and I have had to wake him up after 2 hrs and then he has taken ages to go to bed that night, normally round 9.30-10pm. Maybe he may only need a nap every few days. Don't know how I will manage without him not having naps, I like the time to myself to get things done and have a nap myself.

Yay won an unused In a Pear tree nappy on TM for $20

Gjen I do the door closing thing as well, though I don't really think it works.

Ok. Ended up being a major FAIL on the Lucy sleep thing. 10 mins after I last posted she woke up and proceeded to scream until midnight. I was determined NOT to give her another bottle and I only went into her when she started banging on the door, and then I only put her back in her bed and left again. So, she fell asleep at midnight (after waking Caleb up ) and woke again at 3am. And proceeded to scream until 5am. Was still up for the day at 6.30. And still screamed for an hour when put down for her morning nap, even though she was absolutely shattered. I've had it. I'm going to the chemist this afternoon and I'm going to Phenergan her tonight. Thanks to her, I've had a grand total of 8 hours sleep in the last 72 hours! And she's mucking up Caleb's wonderful 10pm-6am stretch. So, Phenergan it is. ]]> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 11:52:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1342292&title=due-in-march-2009#1342292 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1342171&title=due-in-march-2009#1342171 Author: queenbean

Yay for the good scan, WWJen!!! And I don't think Caleb would have the issue of his thighs being too skinny! Still tempted to get 1 of the Pop-ins too, but will have to wait till payday. Will see how I go!!

QB - yay for the $100 grocery voucher!! I'd love to win something like that once in a while!

Got tough on Lucy tonight. I am SOOOOO over her not going to bed at night without having a million bottles and cuddles and blankets on/off and music on/off. So, we put Cam to bed in our room, (him and Lucy share at the moment) gave Lucy her ONE bottle for the night and left her to it. Went in a couple of times. I told her I'd leave the door open, but if she gets out of bed it will be closed. Lo and behold, she came out! So door was closed for 5 mins when the offer was made again. And, what do you know - she WENT TO SLEEP!!! That's the first time she's been asleep, in her own bed, with only 1 bottle, for MONTHS. Now I just hope she'll sleep thru the night too. ]]> Tue, 07 Jun 2011 21:32:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1342063&title=due-in-march-2009#1342063 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1342037&title=due-in-march-2009#1342037 Author: whitewave

Yay for winning the grocery voucher, Lan! Hope your good day continues, and that your terror has turned back into a good boy!

I did make a weight prediction for Manda's bub, can't remember what I wrote now! I'll have to go back a few pages to check.

Jen, the Ecobubs nappies might work fine for Caleb, have a go and see how they work. I have a medium, which never worked for Campbell, but I think that's because he had skinny thighs and the leg holes were just a bit too gapey. I have a whole lot of homemade pocket inserts I don't use anymore, just yell out if you want some to fill the Ecobubs with. They're a mix of microfibre and hemp.

I had my dating scan today, everything's looking perfect! Saw the heartbeat, and bubs' cute head and bum! Radiographer said bubs was measuring just under 9 weeks, which fits in nicely with my dates, which say I'm 9 weeks on Friday.]]> Tue, 07 Jun 2011 21:01:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1342037&title=due-in-march-2009#1342037 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1341817&title=due-in-march-2009#1341817 Author: queenbean

Oh you ladies are so good with your cloth naps, I'm so freakin lazy, I gave it a half assed go a couple of months ago, then fizzled out.

2 more days Manda!!! Yey, exciting! Are we guessing weight? I'm going to go for 8lb 12oz.

Had a good day today after a frightful long weekend. Kaia has gotten used to her new room and is a little star, however the other one has been a wee terror! Not sure if he has more teeth coming through or what, but he has been grizzly, moany, whingy, can't stand it!!! He was back to PORSE today and had two tantrums while his Dad dropped him off but apparently has been good as gold all day, so hopefully I get my happy boy back tonight.

Whoops back to my good day story... half a day of work this morning and that is it for the week! Then went and had some eyelash extensions done, and got home, checked my emails and I had won a $100 grocery voucher for doing some survey a while ago! Yey!

Hope everyone had a lovely long weekend, so stink there isn't another one til October!

Hmm. Ok then. Might grab them anyway and give them a go since they're fairly cheap. The friend selling them said they weren't so good with the 2 microfibre inserts recommended for overnight by the site, but fantastic with 1 microfibre and 1 bamboo/hemp. And I can always buy some pop-ins if they don't do the job.

Cool - will have a look at the Pop-Ins, thanks. Are the Ecobubs Wool ones any good for night? I have a friend who went a teeny bit overboard with buying nappies and is selling some off. She's offered me some brand new Ecobubs Wool ones for $25ea. Are they worth it?]]> Tue, 07 Jun 2011 08:59:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1341492&title=due-in-march-2009#1341492 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1341133&title=due-in-march-2009#1341133 Author: BerryBliss

I like the Pop-ins too for night (tho not using cloth at night anymore got lazy)

Hope the appointment goes well Rachel. I always thought the ex had bi polar rather than depression and he had an assessment thing but aparently he didn't have bi polar, i do know what he really does have tho, can't really say that tho in here may get told off haha.

So turned out i got the cold the kids had lost my voice as well, just kind of getting it back today, i soung horrible tho. Managed to give it to the new guy too..opps.

Yep i did want 6 kids, don't know if i want that many now tho, we will see.

My parents had my boys for the last 2 days, man its so quiet with only 2 kids, great to have them back tho.

Shannon how horrible to have that happen, yay for a nice person being there to help you out!!!]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2011 15:42:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1341133&title=due-in-march-2009#1341133 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1341111&title=due-in-march-2009#1341111 Author: princesspumpkin

Quick hello from me - will be back tomorrow to say hi properly - but GJen - pop in nappies are bloody amazing for night time, they're the only thing I've ever used that has NEVER leaked. And they're an adjustable sized nappy, so will fit forever. I use a dream dri with a night booster    linky

Must go, doing a major spring clean round here - we just took a ute load of cr@p away!!!]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2011 15:10:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1341111&title=due-in-march-2009#1341111 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1340874&title=due-in-march-2009#1340874 Author: 4monkeys

Eek Shannon! Must have been so scary! Glad everything worked out alright! (and, for the record, aa cards are assigned to people rather than cars, so she didn't need to pretend it was her car since it was obviously her calling. )

Manda - yay for only 4 more days to go!!! Can't wait to hear the news!!

Ok, all you cloth nappy buffs out there. I have decided to put Caleb into cloth fulltime. He hasn't been as heavy a wetter so far as my others were, so I think it'll actually work. So, my question is - I have enough pocket nappies for during the day (even if most of them are girlie ones! ) but I'm after a couple of really really good, preferably all-in-one nappies for nighttime. I don't care TOO much about the price, so long as they've got enough absorbancy to last the night without having to use a million and 1 boosters. I figure they'll pay for themselves eventually if I'm not buying disposables at all. So, any recommendations?]]> Sun, 05 Jun 2011 22:27:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1340874&title=due-in-march-2009#1340874 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1340858&title=due-in-march-2009#1340858 Author: whitewave

Rachel, I'm glad DH is prepared to accept a new diagnosis, and I hope the appointment goes well. I really hope you get your lovely husband back too.

Shannon, man that's awful having both kids locked in the car, Emily the cheeky monkey! I can just imagine how busy it would have been. Thank goodness for the nice lady calling AA. I wouldn't be without my AA membership these days, for those kinds of reasons.

Sarah, yay for Floyd saying aunty! I know that feeling, when they say new words you've waiting for ages for them to say.

Yay Floyd! Thats really cool, hopefully he will say it again today. The words are def inside his head!!

We have officially starting TT! Was going to wait till i was settled with baby but he seems really keen so dont want to hold him back. When he needs to go he comes running up to me, Mummy wees coming, toilet quickly!

Wow Shannon I would have been in a right state if that happened to me!!!
We aren't really TTC I've gone off the pill and if it happens it happens if that makes sense, we will look at timing and charting and stuff properly later in the year most likely.
Floyd's sleep has gone out the window big time recently, i got very $hitty with him last night and then got the guilt's, was feeling like crap and just wanted a milo and a bath but he wouldnt settled for DP and just wanted me. He's only had a very short nap in the car today and is looking pretty tired so hopefully he crashes tonight.

Toni, that would be neat if your Nan could do that for you. if the weather ever gets better we would keen for the zoo on a Monday.

Shannon that must have been so awful. I always keep my keys with me whenever I leave Cody unstrapped in the car as I am scared that he will do the same thing.

Yay sold 3 things using buynow yesterday. My monkey doodlez nappies (the ones I waited 6wks for), the four Sunny baby's that Rose still doesn't fit, and her bassinet. That gives me enough money to pay off my GroVia laybuy and either get the In the Pear tree nappy on TM or another Itti snap in or maybe it would be better to get some more inners for the itti's I already have.

Cody has a cold and he woke up at 3am last night asking for a drink and he didn't go back to sleep properly till 6am Think he did snooze but almost every half hour he turned up in my room. Think he just had a really blocked nose. He then slept in till 10.30 when I woke him up. So Rose and I got to have some quiet time in bed for an hour before she had a nappy failure (my fault for not changing her nappy since 3am)

Mum and my aunt went and looked at a rest home for nana to go to today. Will be sad to see her move out of the house that has been a big part of our family for about 28yrs.   I have a dream that she cňuld buy a little 3 bedroom from the money she would get selling her place and I could rent it off her at family rates ]]> Sat, 04 Jun 2011 17:08:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1340275&title=due-in-march-2009#1340275 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1340274&title=due-in-march-2009#1340274 Author: salz

Hope you manage to get him to see someone. Ouch about the breast feeding gosh its not an easy task babies are so different hope it gets sorted soon.

Eek Shannon that would have been so stressful Glad it all got sorted out eventually but man that would have been horrible!

GJen I think you're right about needing to see an LC. I still remember the technique an LC taught me with Chelsea but doesn't help with Austin so he must need a different technique! The other side is sore now too!

Well I've been googling, as you do, and Dr Rachel has decided that DH has bipolar II disorder, not depression. He fits the description. He did get told he had that years ago but didn't like that diagnosis so pretended it didn't happen. Not sure what to do now though, although I read it to him and he agrees it does sound like him. I guess we need to make an appointment with someone next week. I will need to write down examples etc so I don't forget anything when talking to an actual person. Hope we can get it sorted out once and for all, I want my nice husband back

Rach - I had the same thing happen with Caleb, except I had the cracks on both sides. Was absolute agony. All I can say is to call your MW and get a referral to a lactation consultant ASAP - one session ended all my pain and troubles. Turned out it was simply a positioning thing. Caleb was alot fussier with how I held him than my others were and I had to be retaught the 'technically correct' way to BF a baby. I could try to explain what it is, but it's really something you need to be shown!

As for my friend, I'm really hoping it will have a good outcome. It's been picked up really early, so here's hoping for the best. ]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 21:54:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1339249&title=due-in-march-2009#1339249 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1339241&title=due-in-march-2009#1339241 Author: whitewave

Rachel, that sounds really ouchies! Maybe ask your midwife or doctor about whether you can treat the cut with something else as well as the Lansinoh?

Well, I finally have a midwife, and have a dating scan booked for Saturday. Yay, can't wait!

Yes my unit is very sale QB. It was both units and the land behind but I guess the owners have decided to just sell my unit. I have signed a year lease so don't know what will happen if the new owners want me out. I don't have the money to move somewhere else yet. But I would be very surprised if it sold quickly anyway.

Hope you heal quickly Rachel. Don't have any advice on fixing it though.

Went to get my seperation agreement signed today only to be told that I have to get a lawyer to go through it which would cost around $200, money I don't have.

well I figured out why it hurts - I don't know how I missed it before but there is a rather large cut on my nipple, about half a centimetre long and half a millimetre deep. It's not bleeding tho, but weeping which would be why the breastpad sticks to it I wonder how it's going to heal when he keeps feeding off it.

Hi I'm here just been trying to keep on top of housework (and failing lol) so have been reading but not posting. All good though, DH is trying his best to be nice so it's a bit less stressful here. He won't go back on his meds or see anyone about it though, as much as I tell him he should it's like talking to a brick wall sometimes!!

Hope you don't have to move out already Toni!

That's so sad about your friend GJen hugs for you good to hear Lan's positive-outcome story and that there is hope...

WWJen, that would be awesome to see you if you come down! Fair enough enlisting your parents' help too!!!

Ali, good luck with the babies talk! Would you be happy to have more? I remember you saying you wanted 6 at one stage

BFing question for those with younger babies (or anyone else who remembers back to the newborn stage lol) what can I do about one side being really sore? The next feed (whenever he wakes up) is due to be from the sore side and I'm not looking forward to it I squeal when he latches on to that side and it pretty much hurts for the whole feed. It is somewhere on the nipple that is hurting but I can't see any cuts etc (it's been sore for about a week) and then after the feed it keeps hurting for a while. I rub on lansinoh cream after every feed so hoping it will get better soon! (also my breastpad always sticks to that nipple and I have to peel it off OUCH) the other side is fine! Oh no he's stirring, wish me luck!]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 16:07:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338923&title=due-in-march-2009#1338923 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338744&title=due-in-march-2009#1338744 Author: salz

Queenbean hope the nights start getting better for you. I am a bit nervous how I will cope with the newborn waking Samantha waking overnight. I didnt do too well the first time. At least this time I have learnt a lot of lessons though
Gosh Manda 45 weeks, that must be soo uncomfortable. I had Sam out by c section at 37 weeks, I suppose so long as its not putting you or baby in danger the longer he is in there the better.
Havnt heard from Rachel in a while which is unlike her, hope everything is ok, hope it didnt seem like we were bombarding her with advice about her DH.]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 11:53:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338744&title=due-in-march-2009#1338744 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338719&title=due-in-march-2009#1338719 Author: Manda08

Ok will properly update now.

I had a growth scan yesterday, Baby boy is roughly 7.5lbs, so not huge, but the reason im measuring so big is the 14cm pocket of fluid i have. They just cant find a reason for the fluid, and as baby is fine they wont do anything. New rules are not to do elective before 39 weeks due to breathing issues for the babies etc, But i thought with the amount of pressure the fluid is putting on my scar and the risk of it rupturing they might do something, but apparently not. They will only do something if i go in to labour. So i left really upset as im sick of being in so much pain, scar burns and itches all the time.

Today i just had a call, they have a spot for the 9th June, a week earlier... i said most def i will be there, then she calls back oh but you wont be 39 weeks, sorry i need to speak to someone higher to approve. After 30 mins she calls and says yes he has agreed, so only a week to wait instead of 2, im much much happier, now to enjoy just my big boy for a week!

Sorry to hear about your friend jen. how horrible.

Agree QB need some others to keep the shops open, as i will be closing!!! ]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 11:33:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338719&title=due-in-march-2009#1338719 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338565&title=due-in-march-2009#1338565 Author: queenbean

Hi ladies,

Haven't posted in ages!!!! Partly due to slackness and partly due to sleep deprivation/work! Kaia moved into her room over the weekend and the first couple of nights were a fiasco consisting of a lot of screaming from both children and very little sleeping for anyone Last night she slept right through though, yey!!! FX I don't jinx it.

Oh Manda, sorry you had such a crap appointment, and wow, 45 weeks! You'd think they'd want to whip that little guy out ASAP. Hang in there hun, the end is in sght!

GJen, sorry to hear about your friend, that's awful. I know how you feel, I have a very dear friend I've known since primary school who has battled recurrent brain tumours for about the last 10 years. One came back last year, grade 4. Was petrified she wasn't going to make it but she has just finished her last chemo and has been given the all clear! So there is hope, but it is a pretty sh!tty road to travel, and the damn things might come back.

Hope all these TT kids sort themselves out soon!!

How come the landagent is coming today Toni? Are you moving out or is the unit on the market?

Hope all went well with the EQC, Ange!

WWJen, wow go you on the cycling!! I'd be a tad sore after that too! How's that wee bean doing?

Ali, so glad the new guy sounds so nice!! While all these other ladies are shutting up shop, you might have to stay open now, hehe! I'm not shutting up shop just yet either, hoping to convince DH for one more in a couple of years

Right, better get going, BBL!!!

Manda, sorry to hear your appointment didn't go well. Wow, its possible to measure at 45 weeks?? Hope that bubba manages to make his appearance very very soon.

Hope all the sick kiddies are feeling better soon.

Hey, Rachel and Ali, I'll most likely be in Masterton the week after next (Mon 13th to Fri 17th) because DH is working in the field for a few weeks in a row, and only coming home for weekends. I'm predicting I'll be utterly exhausted trying to look after Campbell, Squeak and myself all by myself, so thought I'd enlist my parents help for the middle week! Anyway... thought I could drive over to Lower Hutt one of those days, if you two are keen for a catchup. And of course, anyone else keen for a catchup who might be able to make it!]]> Wed, 01 Jun 2011 21:43:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338500&title=due-in-march-2009#1338500 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338456&title=due-in-march-2009#1338456 Author: 4monkeys

Just got some really really really sucky news. One of my good friends recently had a brain tumour removed and has found out that it was a Grade 3 (4 being the worst) so malignant. She now has to start 6 weeks of radiation followed by 8 months of chemo. And, even then, the prognosis isn't good as there's a really high likelihood of recurring tumours. She has 2 small boys and it's just not fair! ]]> Wed, 01 Jun 2011 20:58:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338456&title=due-in-march-2009#1338456 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338412&title=due-in-march-2009#1338412 Author: BerryBliss

MM - my Cam sounds the same as Charlotte. He'll go for ages without having an accident, but then he'll start wetting again. He's having a bad patch at the moment and I got SO mad at him yesterday. He didn't even say he was wet and climbed up for a cuddle. It was so gross and he got a big smack and sent to his room. I'm SOOOO over it!! I'd never even thought of asking the doc about it though - I just figured he's a lazy little sh!t who can't be bothered going to the loo!

And I'm with you on being sad about cleaning out the baby things. Our bassinette is gone now too and I actually cried when it went. Get sad packing up the clothes Caleb grows out of too. Don't want any more kids, but it's still sad.

Well, my baby is sick. I think he's caught the chicken pox going around Cam and Lucy's daycare. It's going to be a fun week. ]]> Wed, 01 Jun 2011 10:49:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1338005&title=due-in-march-2009#1338005 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337689&title=due-in-march-2009#1337689 Author: salz

I had similar symptoms I wouldnt go at the first hint and then I had no control over it. I think I was ok around home cause a toilet was close by but if I was out partcularly walking home from school I would never make it. My mum tried everything with me too. Have text my mum to ask how the doctor picked it up. I think I was still wetting when I was 7yrs old. Not saying this is wrong with Charloote but could be a medical reason?
Toni- Samantha is going through a scared at everything stage particularly anything her Dad has thats noisy eg. motorbike, lawn mower, chainsaw, I think it started because we had a jet boat which was pretty loud and I think she was really scared of it.]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 20:02:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337689&title=due-in-march-2009#1337689 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337664&title=due-in-march-2009#1337664 Author: music_mummy

Thanks for that thought salz. The issue we have with Charlotte is we have 3-4 or sometimes 7 days in a row where she stays dry all day then she'll have 3-4 days where she'll have at least one, sometimes up to 3, accidents a day. She doesn't seem to care or sometimes even notice she's wet, which has been a problem from the start. I am wondering if she actually knows how to use her muscles to hold on when she needs to go. Often it is that she doesn't want to stop what she's doing to go to the toilet, which is really frustrating. The other problem is that it feels like we've tried everything in terms of reward or punishment and nothing makes enough of a difference in her thinking to make her change the behaviour. We have sent off a urine sample to make sure she doesn't have an infection.
How did they find out what was wrong with you?

The lady who bought our bassinett came to pick it up today. I'm surprised at how sad it made me feel. I am totally happy with the fact we won't be having any more babies but it still makes me sad when these baby things leave our house.]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 19:44:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337664&title=due-in-march-2009#1337664 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337629&title=due-in-march-2009#1337629 Author: Flutterby

Hi ladies.

Hope everything went well with EQC Ange.

And hope you had a better day Rachel. Hugs, it must be so hard adjusting to a newborn and having your DH say mean things to you.

Took Cody to Motat today. He seemed to enjoy it but he was a little scared when we were in a crowd. The friend I was with said her daughter went through the same thing of being scared easily so hopefully he gets over it soon.

Have a landagent coming to show people through the unit sometime after 5pm tomorrow. Right on the stressful part of the day. Hope they came close to 5 and not much later. Also means I have to tidy the place up and keep it tidy. Seems like whenever I put a toy back in Cody's room two more come out to replace it.

Rose is doing good. She is becoming a little chatter box and is slowly learning how to hold a toy and suck it. She seems to really like sucking her clothes and hands.

Good luck with your hospital appointment Manda. How exciting that we may more newborn photos to cluck over soon. ]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 19:08:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337629&title=due-in-march-2009#1337629 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337620&title=due-in-march-2009#1337620 Author: salz

Hey MM what are the TT issues you have with Charlotte? Just wondering cause my mum had the same problem with me I was still wetting when I was going to school turned out I had a kink in my urethra so the urine would collect there then gush which I had no control on, I had to have a small op to straighten it. Sorry TMI but just mentioning it just to show some other possible problems.
Ange good luck with EQC review.
MM-also I know what you mean with the daycare policies, I have Sam having to stay at home for which could be a week. Understand their reasons just really puts everything up the creek with having no day care. ]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 18:52:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337620&title=due-in-march-2009#1337620 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337344&title=due-in-march-2009#1337344 Author: Kristy82

Wow, its been far too long since I last posted however I have been on here daily lurking rather then posting. So busy with three kids. Don't know how everyone managed to post let alone 5 mins to actually post! (Just as I was typing alone my keyboard batteries went flat and I had to go on the hunt for 2 x AAA's which is not very common in our house! Oh and Bronson has now woken up and I can hear him crying in his cot). Oh well....
I am too going to look at the 77% chance we won't be having a earthquake that large. 2 within 6 months was enough for me to run for the hills, pitty I could not stay for long.
My Mum is coming from Oz on Saturday will be staying for two weeks for Libbi's 5th Birthday and seeing her off on her first day of school. We have our 2nd school visit tomorrow and I must say, I think she will love being a school girl.
Cooper is doing well, decided last week he no longer wanted to be in nappies and he is now on his way to being day trained. Interstingly he had a dentist visit the other week and they have told me the tooth which has not come up may never come through and may not even have an adult tooth either! Its his bottom right next to the front ones, IYKWIM?
Bronson is good, being a little turd with his night sleeps at the moment, he even had me up for a 3am feed two nights ago, just would not settle and I had to resort to feeding him. He has not fed like that for months.
DH is liking his new job and we have just found out he has pre diabetes so a few lifestyle changes to happen here. I think its a good thing though cause I certainly need to loose some weight.
We had a Kuwait student staying with us but with the Feb earthquake and the one we had a few weeks back she was too scared to stay here and has since flown back home. A bit of a bummer as she was really nice. So we are waiting on a new one. Hopefully soon as its really helpful when paying bills.
Umm what else, probably heaps but I suppose I better rescue Bronson before he screams the house down. Hopefully I can post more later when I remember.]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 12:04:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337344&title=due-in-march-2009#1337344 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337247&title=due-in-march-2009#1337247 Author: music_mummy

Not much happening here either.

We were at the doctor yesterday to try and get some answers about Charlotte's TT issues and in the process found out both girls had ear infections says . I was totally surprised since neither were showing any signs. Then this morning I got a phone call from DH who was at daycare. Apparantly they have a health and safety policy that says kids have to have taken amoxycilin (sp) for 24 hours before they can come to daycare. I've never heard this before (and the girls have taken it LOTS of times before) so DH lied and told them she started it yesterday morning. Naughty, I know, but if we hadn't been at the doctor for Charlotte we would have sent her to daycare this morning anyway and they wouldn't have asked any questions. it seems crazy that she could've been sent home with an inner ear infection when last week she was there with a horrible snotty nose and nothing was said.]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 09:32:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337247&title=due-in-march-2009#1337247 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337236&title=due-in-march-2009#1337236 Author: ange221

Morning!!

Rach - glad DH is trying to deal with his problems - I agree with the other girls though, he sounds like he needs some proper help. People often think they can fix their own depression - when I was getting help when I was depressed I always kept it in mind that if I had a broken leg I wouldn't try to fix it myself, and this was no different! Good luck hun Hope you're enjoying that delicious little boy of yours despite the grumpy husband!

Funny about the earrings, Ange! Yep, that earthquake wasn't very fun at all. I'd love to live somewhere the ground doesn't bl00dy shake! We had one the night before, only a wee one, but it still had me standing up ready to run! (whilst hubby was sitting at the computer & didn't notice it at all!).

GJen - I can never be bothered cleaning!! One day I'm going to have a magic genie who does it for me (I'd be too embarrassed about the mess to have a human cleaner, it'd totally have to be a genie or an elf or something...)

Sarah - I agree with WW, maybe give some vitex a go Might just help your cycles get sorted out, I know it helped me when I came off depo. Exciting that the pill's gone out the window! I found red clover to be really helpful too, but if you're using them together you only need one cup of red clover tea a day.

Ooooh Manda - exciting stuff!! I hope your scar isn't too sore, and that they decide to get that little dude out soon! I had a couple of friends in oz with Jadelles, and they said they were really brilliant.

Eeek bout the ringworm, Salz! Hope it clears up quickly

WWJen - whoa, what a bike ride! You're awesome! I can't even haul myself out for a walk at the moment, I have a cold & just can't be bothered!

Music this morning, I imagine Jarvis will still be dressed as pirate bikeriding eskimo boy by then. It'll give everyone a laugh, anyhow! He's wearing his pj pants, a puffy jacket, his wiggles backpack and a pirate hat, and is hooning around on his bike making fire engine noises! ]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 08:08:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337170&title=due-in-march-2009#1337170 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337045&title=due-in-march-2009#1337045 Author: whitewave

Manda, hope that C-Section happens for you this week. Yay for getting to 37 weeks! Do the docs want to get closer to the 38 week mark? Anyone want to predict a weight? I'm going for 8lb 10oz.

Rachel, sounds like Greg needs to go back on his meds, and maybe get some more help with dealing with his issues. So not fair to be saying nasty things to Chelsea about you, and sounds like he really does need to bond with Austin.

Ali, hope the kids are feeling better quick. Hope you don't get it too! And yes, we need another catchup!

Sarah, Floyd sounds like Campbell - he prefers to eat whole fruit, skin and all, as well! Kiwifruit, feijoas ... Hope he sleeps better for you tonight. If you're keen to make the effort, charting can really help you figure out where your cycles are at. Vitex might also help regulate your cycles too. Good luck, even though you're not actively TTC yet, its good to know more about your cycles so that when you are, you know the best times to get busy!

Salz, my due date based on my LMP is 13th Jan. Funny, even though I was charting, I had a funny month of temps, thanks to a cold, and being away over Easter, so FF could not make up his mind on the ovulation date - but probably either CD15 or CD17. In the grand scheme of things, that's only a difference of 3 days at the most though, and the due date is only an approximation anyway! Especially if this one decides to arrive early like Master Campbell! I'm keen to get an early scan if I can, mainly for the peace of mind that bubs is still there and has a heartbeat.

Can't believe I did it, but I biked the Ohakune Old Coach Road (like a mini rail trail) yesterday with my MIL! First time on the bike in probably more than 2 years, very unfit, and 7 weeks preg! It was meant to be about 2 hours, but with my lack of speed and all the photo stops, it took us nearly 4 hours! Boy did I crash when we got home! My poor butt and inner thighs are still very sore today!]]> Mon, 30 May 2011 21:09:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337045&title=due-in-march-2009#1337045 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1337001&title=due-in-march-2009#1337001 Author: salz

Salz the excess fluid i have is pushing on my cs scar and its really thin they said its possible it will rupture, hence they are keeping a close eye on it. Today it is just burning, they told me to check the scar regularly, its a bit hard, as i can hardly even feel the dam thing, if its still burning in the morning i will ring mw. They are just trying to hold off for now to let him grow more and its safer for him. Which im all for, but slowly getting over it.

And yes i agree we def care about you and the kids Rachel!

Bummer about Sam to, such a pain when stuff like that happens, daycare cost so dam much!!!

Rachel I agree with the others, I think your DH needs professional help I dont think he can sort his issues by himself and its you guys that suffer. I know it must be hard to even 'go there' with him. You know we all care for you and the kids
Oh manda what makes you think you need an emergency c section now? Good luck for your appointment!
Sarah - My cycles ranged anywhere from 30-35 days and I still got UTD without charting so hopefully wont have too much effect when you TTC. Hope they get a bit more regular though.
Glad Im not the only one who couldnt be bothered cleaning today lol.
Am soooo annoyed daycare found a little ring worm on Samantha's outer butt cheek so she is banned from daycare until it clears. HAve no idea where she got it from our cats are clear and DH and I handle the cats more than her and we are clear. Typical that this week is the week Sam was to start going 3 days so I will have to pay for the 3 days

Thanks girls, hopefully this week they will decide to give me an emergency cs! Its needed now i think. We have got a name Rachel but will have to wait for that one. I dont really talk to the June girls alot, so i will have to get DP to update FB when hes born, or i can text you Hannah, still have your number.

Rachel i really hope DH starts to sort himself out soon, not fair on you at all. Def get away for a bit if you need to!

Hopefully your cycles will come right soon Sarah.

Anyone heard or got the Jadelle? Im thinking about getting it done whe i have my cs, need to decide asap though!

Def good to hear you are happy Ali!

Think Angus is happy to be home... Although hes so interested in everything, its what are you doing mummy? Or mummy whats this? Whats it for...

Keep meaning to post then get distracted O dear Floyd just walked in eating a kiwifruit skin and all, took the skin off and diced it up, now he wont touch it, typical!!

Just as well DP and I arent actively TTC, my cycles are all over the place went off the pill a few months ago and so far have had 22day, 28 days, 26 days, 27 days and this cycle was 34 days!! (was actually kinda bummed when the test was -ve) AF decided to arrived at 4am with lots of cramps, Floyd was wide awake from 3.30-4.30 so feeling ratehr tired today. Just when i think his sleep is sorted it goes out the window, hes back to wanting us to sit in his room till he falls asleep. i woke him after 3 hrs today, prob shouldnt have let him sleep so long but was after 8.30 when he went to sleep last night, then awake for an hour (was horrible he was just laying there awake whimpering and saying no nigh nigh -ended up rocking him off) he was then up for the day at 6.45.

I can't be bothered cleaning today either. Instead I've sat on the computer all day editing and uploading photos to print to update my hard-copy album (which hasn't been done for over a year now!) So a productive day, just not visibly so!!!

Ali - I'm so glad you're happy! Sux about the sick kids though. Hope they get better soon and don't pass it on to you and Jaron.

Rach - is your DH going to go back on his meds? He has no right to treat you or the kids in the way he is (and that includes telling Chelsea horrible things) He needs to sort his cr@p out ASAP. Otherwise you bring those babies of yours and come stay with me for a while!! (and I mean that btw)

Manda - hope baby boy arrives soon!!! Can't wait!!!!

kathleen - wow, that earthquake was a 5.5 - we'd be diving under doorways here! Anything over 4.8 sucks!

Rachel - great photo. He has the "can't you see i'm busy here" look on his face. Hope your DH improves. I think men in general find it harder to bond with little babies. They often feel left out because there's not a lot they can do apart from changing and bathing.

Ali - glad things are working out for you. Does he have any kids of his own?

My house is a total tip today. I just can't be bothered cleaning it up. How sad is that.

DP got me earrings for my birthday which is really nice but he has failed to notice that in the three years we've been together, I've never actually worn earrings. Told him he must have been thinking of someone else when he brought them lol.

I'm here too! Nothing exciting to say either. Had a pretty crazy weekend with DH being not very nice to me or Austin. But he's taken today off work to work on his issues as he's realised he has a problem (hmm I could have told him that). He's been good so far today so hope it lasts as not sure how much longer I could put up with it... At least he's nice to Chelsea, but I do wish he wouldn't tell her mean things about me or her brother as she's at that age where she repeats things. Anyway, am working on getting him to bond with Austin. This morning I expressed 100ml of milk then Chelsea and I went to the supermarket, and he stayed home with baby boy and they had a nice time. Lucky he drank from the bottle happily! And this afternoon he's taken Chelsea for a walk to the park. Austin's snoozing on the couch after a nice big feed hehe (got a cute pic of him looking at me while feeding, gonna put it in the photo gallery after posting here).

Hope your 3 sick kids get better soon Ali, and that you and Jaron don't get it! Can't wait to hear more about your new man too hehe

Awesome to have your mum coming over Hannah! Will this be the first time she's met Beth as well as Jess?

Eep Manda exciting about having your new lil boy soon!!! Have you guys picked out a name yet? I'll forgive you if it's a secret though I know what you mean about being scared too hehe.

Ooh Kathleen is your hubby looking for a new job? Glad his boss didn't see you doing his cv!! Scary about the earthquake

Well better go tidy up a bit. DH is putting in a big effort to be nice so I should probably make an effort with the housework too.

Hello!! I'm still here, just have nothing interesting to report Ali - I want to hear about your exciting life though!!!

Sitting here trying to rewrite hubby's cv, I don't like the sentence structure, it sounds more like a list of what he does than an ad for how awesome he is. Go figure I was having a fidget with it this morning & his boss mysteriously turned up at home to ask me to price out new curtains Thankfully he's as blind as a bat so wouldn't have had a chance of seeing what I was doing!

Good luck for your hospital appointment, Manda! You're so close now!

Yay for all the good sleeping going on! That's cool that Sam is much better at sleeping, I know what its like to have 2 years of a non-sleeper! I am soooo thankful to have Campbell sleeping through most nights now, I never thought it would happen! Just dealing with his lack of day sleeps now! Today was good though, he fell asleep in his little sofa at 1:30pm, a nice normal time! Hope he goes to bed at a normal time tonight too.

Its normal to feel paranoid and worried, I reckon, Salz. But I'm sure bubs is probably just laid back and quiet.

Glad you got the DVD okay, Kathleen. Hope Jarvis loves it, and that you get some well-deserved rest while he's watching it!

Funny about Chelsea talking while she eats! Campbell chats away to me, saying random things, when he's meant to be going to sleep at night!]]> Thu, 26 May 2011 17:22:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1334460&title=due-in-march-2009#1334460 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18767&PID=1334444&title=due-in-march-2009#1334444 Author: ange221

GJen - Have voted for Hugh. He's the cutest anyway and he sucks his two middle fingers like my sister did.

Kathleen - Just read your blog updates. You have an amazing outlook on everything. I need to chill a wee bit and go with mess or let the kids 'help' me more in the kitchen. I am usually so busy that I just end up feeling annoyed with the water that ends up on the floor or the flour that gets dumped all over the bench. Must chill, Must chill!!!!!!!!!

Rachel - That photo you posted in the May photo thread of your DH holding Austin is classic. It looks like Austin is saying "Hey, who are you and where are your boobies"

Sad day here. I unsubscribed from both the Baby City and Baby Factory emails. I don't have babies anymore, boo hoo.

We are off tomorrow for our weekend away. Hopefully the kids behave themselves for my parents.

MM - we used to get the same thing, the child standing silently beside the bed. It's really freaky to open one eye and see a little person staring back at you. We're lucky that the days of her getting up ten times in a night are over. She tends to go to bed at 7pm and sleeps through until about 5.30am.
