December 2009 babies!

ohhhh naughty Nat......my DH would kill me if i did that!! LOL

As for births and complications etc, if i get the green light from DH one day I will be getting a full medical clearance first as i would like to know if theres a risk of me having another stroke and also having blood pressure issues in theatre cos that stuff was all very scary and life threatening. and i want to be around for my current children more than i want another baby........as much i badly want one i wouldnt want to put my life at risk to do it.

Be back on later, we been out all day and Jesse just waking up

oh and I love the pic! (even if it took me a while to get it, doh!)

Haha pretty silly huh...Liam wears pink nappies when I am getting low on the mcns haha!

Know what you mean Lou..def would rather be around for kids than risk for another baby.

Good on you Carin about being the bigger person..........so sad that Macs Dad being the age he is couldnt do the same.............and him being him will just see you moving there as him winning and not you compromising!!
Just dont compromise on too much more. keep yourself as the primary caregiver though otherwise that will be too confusing and you may lose your bond with Mac over time (thats what happened with my first, we were very close but that disappeared over time, where as Liams its gotten stronger over time etc)

man its raining cats n dogs here and neither me or DH wants to cook but i sure aint going out in this!!

Jesse being the poo factory at the moment did a poo, i changed him he did another one, i was changing him again and he pooed on his play mat, i then cleaned that up and just managed to catch another one with a wipe!!   

OH i went and had a look at the scenaro ones at warehouse........i was gonna ask to try in car but i was by myself and couldnt be shagged so will do that next time me and DH are there. It comes with a cool cup holder too.

Wow this is a busy forum.

Way cool about Corban sitting by himself manda.

Nats - love the pic, very cheeky of you! I have put Leah in a blue stretch and grow when the others were all in the wash and thought how funny that because of her age, she could so look like a boy or girl.

Carin, your such a wonderful person. That is very big of you to stay there. Also I think what Lou said is good to, re compromising. You need to be happy to hun.

Well I have eczema - no where near as bad as some of you ladies, but def sucks. I have it right around one of my nipples and it's driving me nuts. I really don't know how you do it Lou!

Leah on more formula than bm at the moment and she hasn't done a poo in 3 days, so quite worried about that. Gave her some warmed boiled water earlier, so will hopefully have some action soon.
My supply is like a roller coaster. Some days she is happy to bf heaps, so in a couple of days I'm engorged like I was at the beginning and then she refuses it, so supply goes down. At least I know it can go up and it's not all over I guess.

Thanks Jasmine, I am feeling more confident about getting one and if babyfactory let me swap my other seat over, i will end up with $100 left over that i would be happy for a store credit cos im sure i will use it and TBH Liam could do with a new booster also.

Im gonna do a unofficial weigh on jesse tomorrow. Hes just looks soooo podgy im interested to know how much hes gained with all this eating hes been doing. Looking back at Liams pics he was really podge too but you would never think it cos he thinned right out and and is a wee dot, short and scrawny. Dont think hes ever gonna make it off the first row in school pics.......lol.....i never did

Manda - well done on corban sitting. makes things easier huh. I sit Jesse in front of me and he leans forwards and holds his weight while grabbing at things.

Karen - sorry to hear about your ecezma. I had that for a while in the beginning altho we werent sure if it was thrush or ecezma. it cleared up eventually but i dont think the thrush stuff was the reason it cleared up. was very red and angry though.
BTW there is no way Leah could pull off being a boy shes way to porcelined looking with such petite finer features......

Its gonna be hard to hold Jesse out on solids til 6months if he keeps eating the way hes eating, im getting tired of feeding so much.....i did hear this growth spurt lasts a while......but hey its using up more calories to help me lose more weight (or eat more choc)

Haha Lou it's hard to imagine my daughter as a porcelain doll etc when she is squealing at the top of her lungs and being grizzly. Guess if all I saw was pics like you, guys I might think that to. So nice and quiet in pictures

Kind of wish Leah would want to eat a lot. I can't make trips to town around her feeds anymore cause she is random for when she decides she is hungry. She has really only just started sleeping right through the night. The last few nights, we will put her down for a nap at 6pm and wake her up 30-45 minutes later for bath, feed, cuddles and then bed. She has been waking around 6:30-6:45am for the day. I so want to stretch it out to 7am, but I shouldn't worry too much, as long as I'm sleeping through to that time, it's not a big deal.

Wow Elijah slow down buddy! That must be so scary having him on the move so quick.

haha Nat thats funny maybe one to haunt Liam at his 21st aye.

 

Mum2Mac - Big hugs you are doing such a fantastic job, with all you are going through, your stength and single minded determination to do whats best for mac, is truely selfless and show's there's no boundries to the love a mothers feels for her child.

 

Larrl - awesome that Elijah is on the move, I'm so looking forward to the day when sasha rolls  and does the same but my chubby little sasuage still just lies there.

 

Jasmine - wow I would of though lucas would of been a bit heavier, but as long as he appears content, happy and healthy thats the main thing. don't know if this will relate to you in anyway but, My SIL's little girl was an awesome sleeper like lucas, and she had slow weight gain too, my SIL was so concerned and started waking her up during the night for an extra feed and by doing that the weight gain increased, once she went onto solids slow weight gain was no longer a problem.

 

Kazper - Sux about the eczema and sucha  nasty place too, hope it clears up quickly.

 

Michhell - wow Antun has had awesome weight gain over the last month, most of our babies are starting to slow down a little bit with the weight gain department, but it looks like he must be drinking mega milk.

 

Lou -I hear you on the poo machine, Sasha's been doing lots of poos too, big runny ones, the type that escape the nappy very quickly, not much fun aye.

 

also just wondering how many feeds are your babies taking each day? Sasha has been taking 10-12 feeds a day and waking at night, she seems so hungry lately. I was hoping it was just  a growth spurt but it's lasted for the last couple of weeks. I had thought the days of engorged boobs were over but on the odd ocasion where sasha does sleep for over 4 hours, I have to express as it's to uncomfortable to sleep.

 

Just curious do your babies look like you or your DP/DH? I look at sasha and I don't  really see any thing from my side of the family, sasha certainly taken after DP's side. When sasha was a new born she looked like DP's dad, but as sasha has grown she looks quite a bit like DP's sister.
