Mums of babies 0-6 months

aww thanks for thinkin of us today!
Went to the docs and you wouldnt believe it but he acted like nothing was wrong, smiling a cooing the little shit! but she gave him a good check over, the inside of his ears are really red but not enough to be able to give some medicine, his throat is read but again not enough for antibiotics, he has a little bit of a rattle in his lungs but she said that thats normal as his nose is really runny which has the top of it all blocked and this will drip down the back of his throat giving him all the mucous on his chest, his cough is a real hacking one and after it its like he says ow and nearly starts crying.
it is heartbraking as there is nothing i can do, i gave hima nice hot bath at lunch time and he was really happy in that. He is still having formula as i cant express enough for each feed. so i have been expressing and using herbs to keep my supply up, even tho im not getting anything out its still that stimulation so it continues to make more. At the mo he is laying on his sheepskin having a play with the playfym, jesse has been really good which is a bonus otherwise im just to tired to notice! I wont be having a late one tonight, will be in bed not long after the kids!
Also had an appt with the orthopedic surgeoun about kiers hips, some of you might remember about it from a different forum, anyway he had an xray to see his hips and everything is looking really good so doesnt look like we need to put pins or a brace on! yay
Been a bit of a downer here today! have got a funeral on friday, a family friend went away for the weekend with her DH and another couple and the girls went back to themotel and left the boys at the pub when the boys got home her dh went to have a shower and found her hanging, she had hung herself with a shower curtain, she was 39 and left behind a 22 year old son. the doc had just recently taken her of her anti depressants saying she doesnt need them anymore but obviously they were wrong. so i hope things can only get better from now for us!

right off to put jesse to bed, kiers is blowing raspberries how cute!

OMG!!!!! I couldn't believe what I was reading there, that is just dreadful......I am stunned!!

Regarding Kiers.....hopefully this bug will just pass over quickly, it's just typical that he was smiling away at the doctors, cheeky little thing!! hehehe! Did you say whether you are giving him any baby paracetamol?? Theo was all red in the face and very hot yesterday and I gave him some capol which seemed to do the trick but I thought here we go, his first illness!!

Yes he has been having baby paracetamol and the doc has told me to also give him 2 doses of baby iboprofen a day too as his temp is still high and wont shift using just a paracetamol, since he has had a dose of that as well he seems a bit better and has just had his first feed from the breat in 24 hours so maybe things are looking up, ask me in another 12 hours whan morning comes ill let you know for sure!
Jesse never had his first illnes until this winter at 2 and half years old, he has had sore throats in the past but once he had his adnoids removed it was fine, but he has never actually had a cold or complained unti thsi winter. When he has had sore throats in the past the only way i could tell was becoz he wouldnt have anything to drink unless it was luke warm, he would say too hot or cold even if it want, you never would of thought anything was wrong with him, he has such a high pain thresh hold, e will fall over and scrape his knee and there will be blood but he will get up and look at me and say just an accident thinking im gonna tell him off coz he has blood on his clothes! so when he not well and tells me i know its bad.

Well, guess what!! Both kids slept ALL night even tho they are sick! I wasnt expecting that, jesse wakes when daryn gets up for work at 4am and usually comes into bed with me but this morn he slept through and kiers went down at 8.30 last night and didnt wake until 8.45am this morn, was very happy, i decided to elevate his bed a little higher than what i already had and i think this seemed to work as whenever i checked on him through the night his breathing was clear, so thats good. He is in having a nap at the mo. and also kiers is back to taking the breast and not a bottle he hasnt had a bottle since yesterday arvo which is great! but i can tell my supply a little low at the mo so might have to supplement his lunchtime one which is fine by me.

Fantastic news mum!!!! and glad you can breast feed again xoxo

Hi girls!
MOJJ - so glad to hear both boys slept well last night! I hope that means that Kiers is on the mend!
Georgi and Sparkles - your little ones are gaining weight nicely! I will have Owen weighed at his next appointment in two weeks. I'm anxious to see how much he has gained. He was only in the 5th percentile at his last appointment.
I want to have Owen's picture taken too but I'm like you, Georgi, I want to make sure they are good photos. He holds his head up really well but once he gets tired or irritated he tends to droop forward.
We had a better day. I think I'll post in my "pulling my hair out thread".

Talk to you later!

this is my daughter Tia-li she was born on july 12th at 3:39 am

She does look like you Holi, I love her cute little nose. How are things going otherwise? Is she sleeping well at night yet? I'm having a bit of a nightmare with Molly at night at the moment but she has got a terrible cold so hopefully things will get better soon. She was awake at three this morning, I'm sure my sil gave her coffee or something yesterday. There's no way I will be sending her back though as she didn't follow her routine that I wrote and I think she just sat her in front of the tv all day like she does with her little one.

Oh my gosh, Kyrah is GORGEOUS Sparkles!!!! I love the little cheeky pose!!! Her clothes are SO CUTE!

Oh, and Holi, Tia-li looks just like you, twin adorable noses too!

aw thanks guys,she's doing good,she sleeps most nights about 5-7 hours.Last night she woke at 4am,i probably could have let her cry n go back to sleep,but i was awake anyway.

I hope things are good with all your babies...loving all the pics!cant believe how fast they are all growing.

thanks Tiff
i love dressing her she has so many 00 clothes which she is just starting to fit into. i love your new profile pic
Angel- awww she is just gorgeous, i love the smile with her tounge thats what Kyrah use to do and look at all her hair, has any baby hair fallenout?
Galaxy- i hope molly feels better soon
KJyrah must be going through another growth spurt as she is sleeping for like 2 hours during the day which is not like her and has been waking hungry around 3am, when normally she sleeps through

xo

They are gorgeous! she is so clever sittin up!
Angel, I love the giggle Tia has! i would love to see more of the babies.

Well i have jusr had my f**king car blow up! Not happy, i was driving home from picking up jess who as been at mums, and was half way home when ithe temp gage went up to high within 3 seconds then it diesd on me, its well n truly stuffed, so here i am with two kids and my step brother in the middle of nowhere as my mum lives in the country. rang DH and he came picked us up and then rang my dad who came to pick up car, (dad owns a car auto parts place and pickes up crashed cars etc) so not happy, i wouldnt of minded so much if it was just me but i hate things happening when i ave the kids with me! so we are all at home now, looks like ill be getting a new car soon. Thank god Kiers has been feeding from the breast again coz i didnt have anything with me as i was only picking jess up and coming right back home, mum lives 20mins drive away so not too far but far enough. arrgghh hubby not happy as the car has just cost us $600 getting fixed for a different problem only 3 weeks ago and i have had to get new contact lenses which was another $600, so our bank balance is a bit sad now!

off out for a 21st tonight so i think ill be having a drink! enjoy your weekend!

Awwwww poor Teressa, I am sorry to hear of your dilemma (sp?) with the car, why do all these things happen at once it's such a pain in the butt. You have a couple of glasses of wine tonight, you deserve it!

Sparkles and Angel love the videos of your LO's, I must upload some of Theo

its great to see the video as we see them come to life lol, i have sent my brother some too as he is in London and he said keep sending videos as he loves seeing her. He wont see her until sept next year when he comes home!!!
mum- aww you poor thing, i hate cars!!!! and to have aboth the kids plus an extra how stressful, you sound like you handled it well!!!
hope you had a good party

Oh my gosh, I am melting. Sparkles, those videos are so cute! I love her little laugh, she is SUCH a strong lass, sitting up by her self already! You have a lovely voice BTW, but I know what you mean, I hate hearing myself talk on camera as well.

LM is a ROLLING FOOL. If I put her on her tummy now, she rolls over INSTANTLY It is so funny. I wonder when she will start liking her tummy enough to want to stay on it, and learn to crawl!!! She does scoot around as well, like a little Army Gal or something on her tummy!!!

OMG, and I TOTALLY forgot to mention that LM has been saying Ma Ma and looking right at me lately. I was an early talker as well, was speaking full sentences at 14 months old, so I think she is going to take after me.

I will try to get a video of her saying Ma Ma.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! our first talker!!!!! (out of the original Due in April/May girls) that's so cool Tiff can't wait to hear Lily Mae and also YAY for rolling!!!

OMG we definatly have some clever babies in here!

WEll my night out was just what i needed, got home at 3.30am, had a few too many and paid for it yesterday! was good to get out tho.
DH is been in a funny mood since he woke up after our night out, i thought he had a good time. I found his wedding ring on the floor yesterday and asked him if he had lost anything and he said yes my ring, i said i found it on the floor and he said so. I asked him why he took it off and he said coz he felt like it and then gave it to jess coz he wanted to play with it, i said jess would loose it and he said oh well. so he asnt talking to me at all yesterday and at 7pm i asked him if he was gonna put it back on and he said when he is ready so i said fine thats easy fixed wnd went into the kids bedrooms and packed up some clothes for them and myself and was ready to walk out, he got even shittier with me so i decided to sleep on it, put the kids to bed, went to bed myself this morning when i got up he had his ring on but not really talking still, so im leaving the bags by the back door incase. They funny thing is i dont even know whats happened, i have no idea why he has gone like this! so my week has just been getting better and better.

The kids - jesse is doing good, he is playing outside, he is full on! and Kiers is still sick so i might take him back to the doc, he is still coughing heaps and grabbing his ear all the time and his snot has turned green so there is an infection somewhere.
ohhhhh my life is great does anyone want to trade?????

oh no mum thats horrible.....men!!!!!! i hope he gets over his mood
Tiff- Yay!!!! clever lily mae... she was babbling heaps in the feeding vid so she prob will be a big talker
Kyrah tried pumpkin yesterday and loved it so much
we went out for dinner last night in the city with Kyrah and friends then to the horse trots she was fantastic. I am going to a girs cards night tonight no kids so it will be nice to have my hands free for once lol
hope everyone is well
i will post some pics of Kyrah eating her pumpkin when i get a chance zo
