August-September 2010 Moms

Wooot I had like 7 posts to read!!!

Robyn WELCOME BACK! I lost your phone number when my old phone broke and the number is stuck on the phone, and have been wandering about you since then!
Are you still on ML? I recall you were taking 6months?
Please show us pics of your LG.

M2M so cute holding the bottle! He's obviously had lots of chance to practice. K just pushes it out her mouth lol!
Good idea re changing your hours at work. If you can afford it then great, you can enjoy your two little men even more!

Kerry so glad things are back to normal.
I must say K had a better routine on holiday than at home! She was going down between 7 & 8 and for about 5 days only waking up between 4 & 6am for the first time! Since being home she wakes up between 1&3 and again between 4&6 for a feed
I guess maybe this is the 4month sleep regression I've heard about? I'm really hoping the solids will change this!

Charnenay how odd. I'm taking K on monday for her 4month check up (a month late) and you're already almost taking Emily for her 6month! And there's only 2 weeks difference. Did you also take her at 4months?

That sounds very promising re work and possible promotions! Seems some motivation to stay on, esp if you can progress a bit in the organisation? If you had the option of half day if finances permitted would you? I would!!!
Hows the house hunting going? Started looking around yet?

Welcome back Cols
Are you on FB too?
So glad school went well.
Yea I wont wake K for a bath, it can wait till the next morning
I also realised that once back at work our entire routine will change. Will have to prepare things in advance the night before, not to mention supper & studies as well hey! What are you studying? I am meant to be re-registering for my BCom again now (deadline almost here!) but I honestly dont know how I'll be able to do all of it I have 2 more 1st year modules, and then still 2nd and 3rd year to complete part time. Takes 2years per 1full time year so still another 4,5 years minimum till I finish so if I actually want to one day have a degree I really have to do this!

Kerry she is toooo cute!

mommy i wanna go this way...

Wow! and then everyone was back

No probs Robyn - glad to have you back here and glad to hear that you and Dakota are doing well.

Are you going back to work or staying at home?

Hi Ladies

Havent been on in AGES!

Evan started nursery school yesterday and totally loved it. He was exhausted last night though and downed a milk bottle @ 5:30pm and passed out. That is so unlike him as he would rather have his water and his porridge than touch his milk.

We tried feeding him dinner at 8:30pm and he wanted none of it. We had woken him up because he was sleeping and still needed his bath etc... bad I know. He drank some milk, had his bath had a little more milk and slept until 4:30am. He downed another bottle and slept til 7am. I dropped him off just before 8am so they can give him his cereal etc.

It's wierd being back at work, i need to figure out a whole new routine. DH wanted to do the evenings so I have time to do dinner, prepare for the next day and (when I get my books) study.

We're both studying but DH likes to get up at 4am to do it so thats why we were trying this. At the moment I'm not too busy at work so I feel I can manage Evan's night routine but I think once stuff starts happening it's going to be too much.

As for solids I started Evan on rice cereal at 16weeks (per the clinic sister). He now has 5 heeped teaspoons of cereal for breakfast and dinner. I mix it with his formula so I know he's at least getting some milk... he has veggies at lunch time. That has been going on for about 3 weeks now. He LOVES carrots and sweetpotatoe.

apologies for not accepting you on FB - obviously didn't realise who you were!
