10 days with no posts! woah!

Hey everyone :)
A is doing super with the solids, she normally has 2 meals a day now, I try to give her something fruity like apple and apricot in the morning with a bit of farex mixed in then she has a vegetable mix or a jar for dinner (currently her icecubes are pumpkin, carrot and peas). Yesterday she ate a whole jar of that watties pumpkin and sweetcorn, and when I didnt give it to her fast enough she would start going 'uhh uhh uhh' lol
She's meant to be having a nap at the moment.. but I just heard her sneezing and now shes giggling at herself!

I can't wait until it gets warmer... A has all these clothes shes very quickly growing out of she hasnt even worn yet!

Hope everyone is all good :)

I think my little monkey might be ready for solids!
She has been waking more at night, and getting really hungry - in fact she woke (1hr after she went down, having a whole 200ml bottle) and has now polished off another 150mls!

That is HUGE for her - normally it is a mission to get more than 120mls in her.

Tomorrow I'm going out and buying a metal sieve so I can smoosh up some avocado for her. YAY!

Also looking forward to Wiggle and Rhyme with Mrs Emma and Keolyn - we must get a photos of the bubs together, they do look super cute!

Hope everyone has a good night.

Hugs,

Hey everyone,

Luke has a doctors appointment at 11.30 and I am dreading it :( I have to go on my own and i'm worried about what the issue may be (will post on the group, don't want certain nosy busy bodys to see it) and DH has to work so he cant come :(

Luke has been on puree solids for a while now but the other night he had a bit on in tact but boiled carrot and he chewed and swallowed it like a pro! no gagging or anything. Yesterday he managed to grab a bit of my toasted english muffin and I wanted to see what he would do with it and he chewed away then swallowed. VERY proud !!

Yay for a big walk Heaf! and yay for catching up :)

Mrs Emma, Noob_mum and I met up thurs.. the girls are so cute together!

I'm getting back into my excercise stuff (not that I did much before though soo.. lol) I have my first dance class in an AGE tonight, I have 4 weeks to learn the end of year show dance to 'Remember my Name' from Fame.. it's an adults class so hopefully I won't be the worst.. haha I kept forgetting to phone the girl who runs the classes (at my old academy) and when I finally did she was like 'we only have 4 weeks until on stage rehursals, you keen?' meh, why not!
Also have Hockey every wednesday now too.. it felt good to run around and get out a bit of frustration! haha.. It's just a social league which is good, nothing too intense :)

Went to Armageddon Expo yesterday with A.. that was interesting.. lol.. always lots of stuff to see and I met one of my favourite tv stars, Amanda Tapping from Stargate SG1.. She was really lovely and Alice got a kiss haha..

Hope you're all having a lovely day! My house has gone to pieces over the last few days.. time to get cleaning!

Hi all! Man i'm knackered today, went for a big walk up a hill with H in the pram, felt so unfit lol. But YAY she went to sleep on the way down and just woke up after sleeping for like 2 hours! woohoo. feels so great when i can get her to sleep that long.

She's getting so clever now with her rolling, she loves being on the ground which is cool. I leave her there after she gets up in the morning and feeds and I quickly get something to eat, come back in the room and she's rolled halfway down the room lol.

Started her on solids this week too, on pumpkin. First time she gagged on it and spat it out, second time went a bit better, and last night not too bad either. bought some baby rice to try her on too so will see how that goes.

hope everyone's doing well!

I just go with the flow with A.. she normally has a short nap ine morning sometime (and I have a shower YAY!), then a long nap in the afternoon (around an hour, sometimes 2)and a cat nap while we have dinner.. but that can change and she's a bit unpredictable depending on wht we're doing and what time we go up etc... she does get MIGHTY cranky if she's tired though! sheesh!! She goes to bed around 9:30, any earlier and she won't sleep, any later and she'll wake up at the same time in the morning anyway (bewteen 7-8am)

I gave her tinned peaches (in juice) the other day that I washed and dried and put into a mesh bag feeder.. she LOVED them.. I would recommend them!! As long and they're wearing old clothes haha

Austin's up for 2hrs at a time before he starts grizzling and wanting to go back to bed. Seems to have dropped the 30min naps thank god and usually does 45min - 1hr10. On Saturday morning he slept for 2.5hrs though lol, typical as we wanted to leave, but I wouldn't let DH wake him up as didn't want him to think it's bad to have a big sleep haha. He had his 1hr10min nap this morning so will probably have two shorter naps for the rest of the day. At night he's only waking up twice for a feed at the mo which is great and gets up for the day around 6-6:30am. I can live with that!

LG, X is up for about 1-2 hours and gets overtired after that. He had 2 really good sleeps this week though (2.5 hours! in the middle of the day) and stayed up for longer. He's got a cold and cough at the mo so is finding it hard to sleep anyway :(

I haven't had much of a chance to get on the internet at all in the last wee while so just catching up now.

LG S is up for approx 1.5 hours from the time she wakes until she goes back down. Any longer and she gets way overtired and it's a nightmare to get her to sleep.

Issacsmum it is quiet in here! But like Megan said we are all chatting away on FB in the private group. I check FB throughout the day but I don't come in here as often. I think with this nice weather we are all probably out enjoying the sun (in Auckland at least) I hope everyone has some sunny weather where they are!

Hi guys, havent had a chance to post for ages but have been coming on to read quickly and keeping up on FB too.

Quick question, how long is everyones baby's up for now? We've been doing an hour and a half but im wondering if i should keep her up for a bit longer.

Havent started solids yet but am thinking im going to do more BLW too, again because i cant be bothered doing too many purees. Poor second child he he
Quinn has started rolling and crawling kindof, more crawling than comando crawling but she cant lift her head up so we're calling it bulldozer crawling. Causing all kinds of havoc with her sleeping though - arghhhh!

Hope everyone is enjoying the last day of the school holidays (thank goodness they are almost done!!!)

Hey guys,

Thought i'd give a wee update on Luke.

He is doing so so well :) LOVING his solids, he is such a good eater I feel so lucky. He is still sleeping through the night (hoping not to jinx it lol) and he is generally just such a happy little boy! I feel so very lucky. Teething totally sucks though, he has had the RED hot cheeks and excessive drooling etc for months now but we still have no sign of actual teeth, very annoying for all involved lol.

In other news our neighbours are total losers who can't contain their loudness to their own house. Looks like we will be making yet another phone call in to noise control this evening.

Have posted about something else in the FB group that was a bit private to post here :)

take care everyone! Lets not let this thread fade !!!

well Em was back at the doctors this morning and cause she is a little older doc tried her on the nebulizer and it seemed to help a little so he gave us a script for an inhalier and i got a spacer from the nurses. so 1 puff 3 times a day is our life for a bit. there is my 3 lol alex with FASD kc with over active eye muscle now em not wanting to be left out seems to be with asthma. at least she is happy and content still with it all. doc still saying if she gets distressed to go to the hospital. i said to him she will probably be distressed only when she is near death lol she is just so happy and layed back.
had a good day today hanging with the kids and hubby. we took em to the doc and si took other two for petrol and then dropped it off home came got us then we got lunch then kc a helmet so she can now ride her bike then we got ems meds some meat then headed out to the mushroom farm and got a big box of mushrooms (the box you see in the store) 3kg worth for $16 and 6 big flat browns for $3 then on way home hubby decided an ice cream was in order so we went and got a rush munro one and walked around the block while eating it then it was home and gymnastics for kc. lets say bed will be good once i get there lol. going to go to the gyspsy fair tomorrow something fun for the kids to check out and do. hope you all have a good weekend this is a very long one for us so cant wait till tuesday when kids are back at school lol.

Josh is now mobile He's had rolling over for a little while, but today he's figured out that he can roll multiple times - lol. In a matter of hours he went from happily staying on the mat to hitting his head on the TV, coffee table, and Isaacs toy box in quick secession (they form like a triangle around his mat). It's too soon, my baby's growing up

I also think a tooth is coming up. It's not quite through yet. That's 2mths earlier than Isaac.

I just went to change her nappy and she was trying to err.. get it out... the force made her wee on me from about 50cm away and the splash went all over my change table... for a girl that was pretty impressive haha she seems to be better now though, she was getting quite grumpy (fair enough!) no more nana I think lol

Holidays have been pretty good actually. He is a bit old for playdough really but we made cupcakes together the other day and he enjoyed that. Also went to the park today and will head out to the waterfront tomorrow to go on the Chocolate bus! I'm looking forward to that :) We have a start chart going so it's making life a bit easier ;)

Hope Luke was Ok Megan. I'd say that if he seems happy he's ok :) I would say there would be lots of change in their poos from now on when they try new things, just like when we might have something different I guess.

Poo question ladies...
This morning Luke tried a solid that he hadn't had before....since then he has had 3 poo's....all the same color, smell and consistency....he is drinking normally, happy...only difference is he slept this afternoon when he normally doesn't. he is up now happily chewing on his fingers and had been laughing / talking.
Is it safe to say it was just from the new flavor?? He doesnt seem sick...

Tinkerbelle, In West Auckland we have a scheme run by Portage Licensing Trust... They donate carseats to every baby born in West Auckland. You just give a $30 donation to plunket and go pick it up :) (has to be before they are 4 mpnths tjhough and you have to have their birth cert and hospital discharge papers)
The one I got is a evenflo Tribute5, its up to 18kg or 101cm tall and is used rear facing :)

School holidays are hard! Have you thought of playdough? theres recipes online for some good ones.. cheap and easy!

Alice loved the banana, she was grabbing my hand holding the spoon and forcing it into her mouth lol

Got the seat all sorted, I think we werent pushing it down hard enough to get the belt tight, hopegully its more comfy for A :)

Hi

Looks like H will be a petite little thing! Lucky for her :)

Good on ya Jaks for getting a diet started. I'd love to have that shopping trip!!

Exciting IssacsMum. I have 2 friends due next year and can't wait to meet the bubbas :) Already a bit clucky now!! Have to wait at least a year I think though :)

Hopefully you can get your carseat sorted Keolyn. Did you rent or buy the next size up? X is just about ready for the next size I think. We have one from my stepson but it's 9kg and up and is forward facing so we just need one for another six months or more.

The party went well last week :) Thanks for coming again Rachel. Lovely to see you and you little ones :) Chelsea really enjoyed the chocolate truffles!

It's school holidays here so have to try and keep a 6 yr old entertained! Think we might head into town on the train and have a picnic lunch with DH. Trying not to spend too much this week so thinking of free things to do!

Oh, X rolled over all by himself this morning (3 times as well!) He did roll from tummy to back a few weeks ago but that was a one off. Now he's figured it out there's no stopping him!!

Hey Everyone!

Yay for a good plunket visit Heaf! Next to H, A would seem like a giant lol

Hope you're feeling better now Jaks! And goodluck with the diet! If shopping isnt a motivation, I don't know what is!

Yay fr your friend Isaacsmum! I hope you get sa bit more sleep soon!

We're going well here. I tried to install A's big carseat in the car yesterday, following the directions but it moved HEAPS from side t side and I couldnt get the belt to lock sooo.. I'm going to take it to plunket this morning I think and get them to do it for me haha. We're planning to drive to Marton labour weekend so I need it to be extra secure, I dont want her to be in her bapsule for that long drive (even with the stops..)

A's on 1-2 solid meals a day, so far she hasnt had too many things, farex, apple and a bit of pumpkin.. but I was going to give her banana this morning I think. She didnt like the pumkpin too much though, I gave it to herat night the other night and she was up most the night waking and crying and then wanting to feed, I'm not sure if it was a bad night or the pumpkin (I thought it would be a relatively safe vegetable though...) so I gave her more a couple mornings after and she did not want to eat it... ah well, I can always melt all the ice cubes and make pumpkin soup LOL

I'm also going to have to put her in her cot relly soon, I had to take her bassinet off her stand cos shes big and kicks it and it rocks. ITs wooden so it makes heaps of noise.. so now shes on the floor until I get her cot sorted lol.

Bah, I hear crying... so much for nap time.. bbl

Not much going on here. I think I'm getting less sleep the older J gets . Isaac's grow clock seemed to help for the first week, but now it's causing even more drama than it solved. J's waking up earlier for his feed, then not making it till morning (7am). However things in general are fine IYKWIM.

car seat is on its way should get it tomorrow i hope.
went out today and got a new handbag and picked up moms shopping for alex's birthday and xmas. that boy is going to flip. its lego over load and i cant wait till xmas cause its the millennium falcon from star wars and its the big puppy not the middi one which he has had before. will be interesting to see how long it takes him i think will have to time him. and his birthday pressie is mac the truck from cars. at least for that one i only have to wait a few weeks till his birthday.

im going to say this out there so you all can slap me if i slip up. mom has said to me if i can get back on track and loose some weight by march when i go over to sydney for a week with Em then we will do a shop till we drop for clothes etc. so my ass needs to get moving and i have to make myself go walking each day and try add in extra stuff even if its laying on teh floor with Em on my tummy against my legs and i do sit ups to see her. and get that wii stuff out and use it. so have put that out there i start tomorrow with how much i eat etc and plan when and what will be done then monday when si back at work its all on. ok said it now so have to do it lol.

ok im off to bed im tired from shopping and i made sure i parked a little way from the store lol.

Hope you had a good night with both kids asleep Emma. DH went out last night so I watched 'No Strings Attached' with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. Was better than I thought actually and was quite funny.

X had a Pediatrician check up today and he was discharged cause he thought he didn't need to see him anymore due to doing so well :) He just watched him and was really happy with his arm and his use of it. He was also weighed and measured and is 7.13kg and 65cm! I had to put him on scales myself until nurse got back and just realised how chubby he looked! Haha. It's funny how you see them everyday but you don't really look at them like that, iykwim.

Done some baking for the Tupperware party tomorrow and DH has just gone to supermarket to get some things and chocolate :) Yum!!

Hi All

Just popping on to say a quick hello, I lurk but don't get time to post these days.

Sounds like all our babies are doing great at their Plunket visits, yay!

We are all good here, S isn't on solids yet, she's sleeping well and though she eyes up our food like you wouldn't believe lol, I don't think she needs it yet. I'm going to do more BLW this time too, I did 50/50 with DS but like you rachelsea it's so much easier to do BLW hehe. I buy those watties puree tins when they're on special so I have some stock for when the need arises.

Well, both kids are in bed asleep - WOOP so I'm heading to the couch to watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with a hot drink and some chocolate.

Have a lovely evening!

look at oll your long babies! at the 5 month check E was only 62cm (but 7.2kg ) lol I measured her at 6 months and she has just made it to 65cm now and is now 8.1kg.

I have heard alot of people doing BLW 2nd time round Rach I think it's much easier just giving them to food to do themselves! I must admit i'm alot more lax with E's food,she has pureed stuff but I also give her the odd bit of finger food to do as she will with...she had a big chunk of steak the other day to chomp and suck on, she loved it! but got so mad with me when i kept taking it off her making sure bits weren't about to come away and choke her!

Megan, Luke and Austin are almost the same again lol. We had Plunket on Monday and my boy was 7.2kg and 65cm

I had a teething necklace for Chelsea, but she kept pulling at it and stretching it so took it off her lol. She didn't get teeth till she was 1 anyway (and has only just cut her bottom two eye teeth so has 14 teeth now). Jaks where are you getting the necklace you wear from? I want to get one! I looked for one ages ago but couldn't find anything. Would hopefully stop Austin beating me up while he's feeding

Bazz, I haven't done a dreamfeed again since the other night when I woke him up lol. Last night was great with him only waking at 1am and 4:45am for feeds. Pity Miss Chelsea decided to have a party from 2-5:30am *yawn*

We still haven't started solids yet. Planning to do baby led weaning this time. We did puree/mash with Chelsea and she turned out fine lol but can't be bothered with all the pureeing etc haha and a few friends have done BLW and it looks fun. He's hard out wanting to eat, tries to steal food off us etc (he went for my lamington the other day hehe, good try ), just waiting for a book I ordered to arrive. Plus for BLW they're meant to be able to sit unassisted before starting and he's not quite there yet (has managed 10seconds or so though before I had to catch him!) so probably another couple of weeks before we start. Don't think he'll make it to 6months!

Hi all just a quick note about the amber necklaces.
I got a bracelet/anklet for H (hated the idea of anything around her neck and I knew she would find a way to chew on it)

Anyway it has really reduced her dribbling - I think it has made her less grumpy too (but she might just be having a good few days)

Right, back to bubs.

Hugs to all,

we have to give the wheels for the capsule back on the 23 nov so have till then to sort out car seat for her although i can still use the capsule as we bought that but her feet are starting to hang over the edge and she is looking snugg up the sides lol. worse thing is i have my sons 10th birthday party to put on which will cost me about $200, going to take him and some friends to laser force. lucky i only do parties for the big ones so next year there is only one big one the other two get dinner out with the family lol. and xmas coming up. would be nice if the inlaws said hay do you need anything for baby id say yes a car seat that will cost us around $520 maybe less if i get it on specail. MIL would probably almost die of fright she is such a tight ass. so far she still isnt showing signs for solids. she isnt always drinking all her bottle either. my girls are such horrible eaters. right better sort out dinner im sure the buzzer will go off soon and i hope hubby will be home soon might have to ring him and work out how long he will be grrrr

Hey everyone :)

Yay for solids and boo to teething!

Glad X is doing so well being unwrapped Tinkerbelle :)

I started A on solids a couple of days ago, I knw shes young but she started doing all the signs they tell you to look out for and the night waking was killing me :( since starting them shes slept through (10:30-7:30) each night so I hope its working! I just started her on Farex made with BM and she had pureeed apple today which she LOVED... but she has been throwing up a little more than usual.. but shes normaly quite the little fountain so I dont know whether shes having an off day cos she's jumping around so much these days, or whether she actually wasnt ready?
After the first spoonful she was grabbing the spoon and forcing it into her mouth (getting the food all over her face in the process!) so she definately likes it! Might keep the apple going fora couple of days and then phonemy plunket nurse if she keeps being sick..

Yeah I think I'll start on months now too... Can't believe how fast they are growing! I'm moving A out of her capsule this week, into her big carseat! *sob

Good to hear the wrap weaning has been going well Bazz. Does T just have blankets now? I put X down in the day now without a wrap but still do it at night as he sometimes will kick off covers.

I heard the necklaces work well for a few things including drooling. X has started drooling quite a bit and puts everything in his mouth. I'd be concerned he'd put the necklace in as well...

Just got back from doctors as X has a cough but he couldn't really do anything for it :( Just said it will last about a week. It's a dry cough and almost sounds like he's choking sometimes :(

X has been sleeping quite well though the last few nights. The other night just woke at 10 then 5.30!!

Hi everyone. Have been reading up but never time to post.

Tinkerbelle- Taylor has a amber neckless (was given as a gift). Not sure if it works though but still put it on her. I think the only thing it helps with is her dribbling. Shes usually like a fountain but when she has it on shes more like a leaky tap Enjoy your tupperware party, sounds like fun!

Glad to hear your feeling better Jaks and sounds like you had a pretty productive day.

Megan sounds like Luke is doing great. T has got her Plunket check today and I think she will be similar to Luke in weight/height and she was born 9pound 3oz so your are doing a marvelous job! Yuck about the solids spew, havnt had one here...yet

Rachel hows the dream feeding going? Hope you are having some better nights. T has a dream feed between 10-10.30 and it seems to work well so far. Took a few nights to make a difference. T now sleeps 7-6.30/7.

Isaacsmum yay for J rolling. Clever wee boy! I so know what you mean about leaving them with DH and they sleep. Its always the way Hope you enjoyed the time out though, means you can do it more often

Heaf Holly sounds like shes doing well. Hope the wind and sleeping issues resolve quickly. Good to hear from you.

Hope A is sleeping better Keolyn, sounds like a rough night. How did the weekend go without your DH? I count by months now. Lost count after T got to 16 or so weeks.

Noob hope your back is feeling better. Good reason for your DH to give you a back rub! Hope the house inspection goes well. I did a huge clean on the weekend and feel so much better now (probs only take a few days to get back like it was though )

Everything is all good here. T is now fully unwraped for sleeps which has gone surprisingly well. She is now on two meals a day and loves her solids I think teething has fully kicked in now I got her a sophie the giraffe the other day and she loves it!

Hope you are all well

am feeling alot better still quite seedy though and cant eat much. i really feel like a pile of fruit salad fresh though.

today went well i got 2 loads washed and out and a third going while i had a shower while em was asleep and the other two were watching a dvd (i had the bathroom door open so i could hear them) then em woke for next feed did that and had enough time to get kc to the party then me and alex and em went and got kc xmas pressies on layby at the warehouse got heaps and with what i got last night only cost me $80 for hers not bad really got like 6 things. then for her just a few things from santa like pjs and little things.
then got lunch and play at mc ds for alex and i (he played and i went on the net lol). then it was do we dash home and get washing or do we get kc first.......lucky we got clothes cause as we got to the pools to get her it bucketed down. took an hour to get her out of there lol got home late to feed em but she wasnt careing. then we ended up msn video chat with mom while i feed her although she could hear us but we couldnt hear her (she didnt care she could type and we just talked ) she hasnt seem much of em so she was chuffed about how em was so into watching her and steering at the screen.
im thinking em may be a 8pm feed since her 3pm was at 4pm lol. just wondering though she may skip her 3pm feed at some point and make her 11am one abit later. her big brother was like that at 7 weeks or so. it freaked me out first baby and all, but he was a huge eater. she is a funny wee sole to work out. but great she can go with the flow around here.
well taken me so long to type this emma has just woken up me thinks she might want up and a feed soon lol

Tinkerbelle, I'd love to come to the tupperware party, but I'm on strict instructions from DH to not buy anymore tupperware.

Rachel, i found adding a dream feed made J expect an extra night feed. Once I dropped it he went back to 2 night feeds.

Jaks, hope the party goes well. kids always love a swim.

Keolyn, hugs. sorry to hear you had such a tough night. shame DH is away sounds like you could do with a break

Noob good luck with the cleaning and inspection. my place is a tip at the moment, really should get the vacuum out.

I don't think I've heard or said the words 'isaac do not ...' so many times in one day before. Man the big little monkey is hard work today.

Went shopping alone at lunch time, DH was to feed both boys and put J down for his lunchtime nap. I took longer than expected and thought I was going to get home to a screaming hungry baby. Got home and .. . . . . J was asleep - Monkey! Won't sleep for more than 30min for me, leave him with DH and he's a sleeping angel - Monkey!

Oh yaya Rachel :)

Agree with Noob on the infacol! It's a miracle worker. I've tried a few days without it and he has trouble again so not sure how long he'll need it :(

Hi all,

jakspaksing - hope you recover this weekend. It sucks when you are not feeling 100% - yet you still have to take care of others. I remember one mother saying "Motherhood is one job you don't get sick days from"

Keolyn - wow, Little A really is keeping you up! Can't wait to hear how solids go. Also how you two handle the LAN weekend - that will be me next weekend. Fingers crossed it all works well for you and you are able to get some rest.

Heaf3 - Hey! Nice to see you back, wow 5months has gone so fast! Are you using infantcol for the wind? I found it has worked wonders with my little monkey.

Issacsmum - YAY for rolling! I'm sure your bubs is ever so proud of himself now that he has done that. I know H looks like she is proud as punch now that she is a little rolly poley monkey.

As for me - feeling a bit off today. Lower back is sore and mentally - just feeling a bit sh*t. Have got a house inspection next week and we need to tidy the house. However we got the letter about the inspection on Thursday and we were really busy that day so didn't really do much cleaning (I was able to vacuum the house with H in the front pack - she loved it - but I think that is why my back is screwed, lots of bending in a weird ways to move furniture, but make sure she doesn't tip out of the damn thing or hit her head on the furniture.)

Anyway, DH has Wed & Thurs off, not Sat and Sun. So the next time we are both at home to clean is Wed the day before the inspection (AND DH's b/d - so for his birthday this year he has to help me clean the house, fun fun!)

So all I can think about is all the cleaning that needs to be done, when I'm going to have time to do it when I'm trying to take care of H, work stuff, and my back playing up. I get all frazzled when I have too much on my mind. So that is me today, frazzled and sore. I think I must have OCD or something 'cause once I see that our house is messy I get really frazzled until it is clean (and with a small baby our house is never clean/tidy!)

Hugs to all - yay for our babies gaining weight and fingers crossed that they will all get some good sleeps in today.

Big hugs to all (sorry about the novel)

Holly's going to be 5 months next week! scary! she's rolled over quite a few times now, is sitting up on my lap holding onto my hands, and goes around in a circle when she's doing tummy time lol. still having issues with her sleeping during the day, and still having wind issues at night. hoping it will get better soon!

Yay go J! It's so cool when they can roll, makes their world so much more interesting hehe. Austin loves rolling, only does it when he has no nappy on though hehe.

Tinkerbelle I'll come to your Tupperware party!! Was just thinking today I want more of their baking dishes (the brown bendable ones, forget what they're called). I love the cake one and the muffin one, need more YAY for a good sleep from X too!

Our dreamfeed failed last night lol, I woke him up! I'm not sure how but he was awake by the end of the feed, then started crying and I couldn't find any of his three dummies!! Found one this morning under the bed, it's his least favourite one. Still haven't found the two he likes best lol. Anyway, he also woke for feeds at 2am and 6am. Don't think I'll bother dreamfeeding tonight and see if it makes much difference.

Well the boy is in bed and better go put the girl to bed now. Hope we all have a good night, and Jaks hope it was just a 24hr bug for you and you're over it now.

I'm having a Tupperware party at my place on Friday 14th at 10 am if anyone wanted to come. Am gonna do some baking and thought it'd be a chance to catch up as well. If you wanna come, pm me and I'll send you my address :)

X slept soooo much last night!! Went down at 5pm and I was expecting him to wake about 6 but he slept through and at 1am I actually woke him for a feed as I was engorged and wanted to make sure he was ok, he then slept until 6am!! He had a couple of broken sleeps in the car (only 10 min naps) so that may have been why.

Yeah Megan it's crazy coz he had his 3 month jabs the day before he was 3months, and that time when I rang up I said "he'll be 3months on Tuesday, can I do the jabs on Monday?" and they said yes that's fine. Go figure lol. (Monday just happens to be a good day as DH has the day off lol.) Great weight gaining there from Mr Luke

Eek Jaks hope you feel better soon

Issacsmum I'm the same, every time I'm putting him down for a nap I think "maybe he'll sleep longer this time" but nope!
Well tonight my boy crashed out just before 7pm, so am gonna dreamfeed him soon. I wish I could remember if I fed him at 2am or not haha. Either way whether he slept for 5hrs or 7hrs without a feed it's still longer than he's done in about a month!! Will see what tonight brings

With one thing and another J's been a mess since daylight savings changed over. every morning i think - ok today we're going to have a better day and get back on track, then J has different plans and so it goes on. usually he goes to bed without a peep at 7, it's 7.45 and he is not a happy camper

Argh Isaacsmum, 30min naps are just a pain eh! Austin managed a 45min nap this morning, so thought he was over it but nope his last two naps were 30mins again . Hope J's poo issue is sorted out at the Dr.

We had a good night last night. Was intending to dreamfeed at 10pm but Austin didn't go to sleep till 8:30 so didn't bother. He woke for his midnight feed and then I don't think he woke up till 7am (can't remember if I fed him at 2am or not lol but definitely didn't at 5am).

Just had an interesting conversation with someone at our Dr office.
Me: Hi I'd like to book my son's 5month jabs for Monday please.
Her: When is he 5months?
Me: On Sunday
Her: We can't actually do it until he's 5months.
Me: Yes. He's 5months on Sunday so I'd like to do it on Monday.
Her: No we can't do it until he's 5 months. How about one day next week?
Me: um ok, is Monday Ok?
Her: Yes monday is fine, we'll see you then.

J only feed twice last night, but it was morning at 5am.
Tinkerbelle - bummer about the flood. that time of night is the worst for anything to go wrong. at least DH was cleaning it up :)
I've booked J in with the GP for monday. this poo issue is getting me worried. (my GP's not on fridays). He's on 2 solids a day, a good 1/2 cup each time. And very very little out the other end. It can't be good.
He's been in a grumpy all day (30min is not enough for either of us). fingers x tomorrow is a better day.

Hey everyone~!

Ewww that sounds yuck rachelsea! I hope your baby fixes himself soon! its annoying when they break habit :(

Oh no with the flood Tinkerbelle! I've almost done that a few times... hope eerything dries out ok.

We have been having a funny week this week, A has been night waking (previously sleeping 9:30-7:30) and I dont think we're on track after daylight savings yet.. A couple of times shes woken and just gone back to sleep but last night/this morning I had to feed her at 5am (after going to bed at midnight) and then had to wake her to take DH to work cos I needed the car >.<

She took over 1 hour to feed tonight.. I hope she doesnt wake! I need my sleep!

Cluck cluck got to cuddle a 5week old today :) I was helping organise some floral arrangements for my friend who I do catering/wedding stuff for.. figured us mums could get together and chat and I could help her (she has a wedding on this weekend!).. it was fun :)

Had a meeting with the community Karitane (sp?).. A is 7.7kg and she said she's doing really well developmentally and she may be ready for solids :) have another proper health check at 5 months :)

Anyway.. shower then SLEEEPPPP!!

Argh my baby is broken!! Gone are the days of 45min naps. We now have 25 or 30min naps. Three per day oh well at least he's happy. At night he has been waking at 12, 2 and 5 for feeds (no idea how he knows the exact time to wake up lol) but last night I tried a dreamfeed at 10pm, which cut out the midnight feed, although he still woke at 2 and 5. Think I'll keep doing it as at least I only got woken up twice instead of three times I did try expressing in the mornings and DH giving him a bottle before I feed him in the evenings but that hasn't helped so will go back to just feeding him myself as expressing is a bit of a pain

Hope your kitchen is all dried up now Tinkerbelle!

We (well DH) had a mess to clean up last night... He flooded the kitchen! I was bathing X and I came out and he was in the process of trying to clean it up. He'd left the tap running and was on the computer! It went all over the floor and some carpet and filled up a couple of drawers. Very annoying at that time of night and there is stuff all over the place now, trying to dry out.

Ewwwwwww! Austin was tired and rubbing his eyes, so I put him down on the floor and took his nappy off. In the time it took me to go wet a cloth and come back, he'd pooed on the floor and was kicking in it I hadn't bothered putting a cloth down because it was just gonna be a quick nappy change then bed. So impromtu bath, got him all cleaned up and new clothes on, feed and into bed, then came out and tackled the poo (Chelsea was under strict instructions to not go near it!!). Have mopped it up best I can, doesn't look yellow anymore but cloths keep coming away yellow when I stamp on it gross!!! Oh well, hope he has a good nap to make up for it (he had a 30min nap this morning. And yesterday was 1x 30min nap and 1x 25min nap lol)

Tinkerbelle, how horrible about your accident you poor thing, well done for protecting X though! I've fallen over twice while holding Chelsea when she was little, managed not to hurt her but scraped all down my side and back the first time, and twisted my ankle the second time. Not fun. Must be a mummy instinct to protect our little ones though

Better go tidy up the kitchen before a friend comes over later. Hope you're all doing well

I'm feeling ok now, my knee is just a bit bruised. Was quite shaken afterwards though! I told DH and he said I should complain to council so I will as this particular hole has been there for ages and I'm sure others have stumbled upon it as well!

It is much cooler here today as well! Not much on today so might just go to supermarket and do some cleaning up.

Oh Tinkerbelle83 you poor thing, how awful I'm glad you are both ok - how are you feeling now? It's so scary and I agree about the slow motion. Good on you for quick reflexes! Glad to hear you had a good night out at the rugby too.

Lol Keolyn, that is a very weird dream!!

Noodle YAY E for sitting up, what a clever wee poppet! I bet she loves it, it must get so annoying only being able to lie down all day.

bazz that's awesome re the good night with no miracle blanket. I hope you get a full nights sleep again soon!

We've been pretty busy the last week, we've had plumbers, locksmiths and electricians in for a few jobs in the house. Pity we can't just call the landlord now haha.

Unfortunately S has a snuffly nose again and I'm thinking she might be getting another cold - hopefully her immune system is a bit better this time round. I'm really worried about my milk supply, last time it dropped so much due to her not feeding as much and it's already started again. In a stroke of luck, a FB group I'm a part of asked for trialees for a new lactation cookie product, I contacted them and got selected to trial them. Fingers crossed, I'm not ready to give up and as much as I try to pump, it's hard to pump after feeding when I have DS to think of - it takes so long.

I hope you are all well and keeping warm in this bout of yuck weather (at least in Auckland but I'm sure it's widespread)

Megan I think that is ok. X gained 800g in about 5 weeks after they were a bit worried but I think he only gained about 200g in a month... Maybe they don't increase as much the older they get as well.

OMG, I had a moment like MrsEmma just before! :( After getting my stepson from his class we were walking back to the car in the pouring rain and I had X in one hand and umbrella in other and I stepped in a pothole on the footpath and fell over! It's amazing how slow time seems to go and I just dropped umbrella, put my right hand down to stop X hitting ground and held onto him and made sure his head didn't touch ground. He was perfectly fine and his pants only got a tad wet, not even a scratch and wasn't fazed at all! Meanwhile, I grazed my hand and knees and got a bit wet as I sat on ground for a couple of minutes to compose myself. So relieved that X is ok as it could have been pretty nasty on the hard wet concrete. A bit disappointed though as I now have a hole on my new jeans :( Any hints for repair?

Luke has his plunket appointment tomorrow and hasn't been weighed since he was 3 months and he was 5.7kg

Hubby decided to weigh him today and he stood on the scales, then held luke and did it again and he added 7kg exactly, including a top and a nappy...

To only have gained just over 1kg in 2 months is that enough?? im stressing

That fall sounded terrifying Emma!! Lucky you protected S and she is ok :)

Wow, sitting. I'm sure X won't be too far off! Scary how quick they learn things isn't it!

Strange dream Keolyn!

We went to the All Blacks vs Canada game yesterday and it was lots of fun. First time I'd been out during the day without X and kept wondering if he was ok but my Mum had 4 kids plus helped my sis raise her 2 which are still young so X was all good :) I was thinking about have a glass of wine as I'd expressed lots but didn't end up having any. I think I would have gotten pretty tipsy if I had considering I haven't had a drink for over a year.

I made a cake for DH's work on Friday as I do it each month and I asked if they could substitute payment for a massage as they have someone come in and do them so getting that at noon today :)

Not too nice here it Welly. LOVED the beautiful days last week though! We got out and about in the pram a bit and X loved it :)

Keolyn what a funny dream!! Hope your blister heals really quick. I remember them and they were very OUCH!

Noodle yay for E sitting. Must make things soo much easier. Cant wait for T to although could be a while away?! I saw the photo of her on FB, sooo cute and gorgeous eyes!

Noob sounds like you had an awesome night. Bet you felt a bit revived after that. Hows the not BF going for you and H? Hopefully really good

Isaacsmum boo about the poo probs. Hope you get it sorted. Not nice seeing bubs in pain.

MrsEmma yay for everything going well at plunket. Also love the freebies lol. Hope you enjoyed your weekend with no packing/unpacking.

Megan what a cute/funny photo of Luke

All good here. Very busy weekend. T had her first night without her Miracle blanket last night. Thought I would be in for a shocker but it was the same as every other night (waking 1-2 times for the dummy/feed). Hope she keeps it up though. Would love it if she would go back to sleeping through but think that may be a while away and have just gotten used to the idea that I expect to get up at least once in the night
