May 2011 babies :)

Hi all

Just a quick question. Has any of you tried the amber teething necklaces? I've heard they are good and was thinking of getting one.

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

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

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,

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!

they have them at the babycity in hastings or there is the website im actually thinking of getting it through basicely from the sorce lol http://smartmum.co.nz/ they are not cheap but i think worth it and hay looks good too lol

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!

now to get some money together for it lol.

i have to buy a new handbag as the one i did have broke in same place 3 mths after useing it so this time i said dont replace refund please. oh dear bag shopping how will i deal with that lol lol
and i have to go shopping for alex's birthday pressie from mom. its a hard life i live lol

have hubby home for 4 days after 5 1/2 weeks working hard so that will be nice now for him to drop the grump lol

better go he is back

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.

Rachel - hope it wasn't too bad

Tinkerbelle - hope your party went well

Jaks - good luck with the diet, i need some diet vibes sent this way too.

Heaf - good going

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.

Got a friend from Auckland visiting this week - yay
