PAMPERS JULY 2010

EJ has three teeth [two bottom and one top] and the 4th one is battling to come out. She is so spoilt and gets carried around by her nanny and all five brothers and sisters - and is only now trying to stand alone. Hopefull she will walk before she turns 1 .

I am very broody lately. But falling pregnant took so long that I am a bit scared to go through more fertility treatments.

We bought the house - just waiting for transfer to go through.

Next month we are off to Durban - my 16 year old daughter is taking part in the National Drummies competition - so the whole family will be going.

It's so nice to be chatting again.

Hi everyone!!!!!!!!! Glad to see more and more mommies coming back. My baby took her first step yesterday! I missed it though because I was at work...


My son turns 8 on the 21st of this month, he wants a bakugan cake, but the school doesn't want cake,only cupcakes and party packs. Baby turns 1 on the 13th of next month, we're having one party for both of them, just buying 2 cakes, and bakugan party packs for the boys and for baby, I can;t seem to make up my mind, but I I looove Winnie the Pooh you guys!!DH wants a barbie girl theme, I think it's been done too many times! Still have to make a decision before the time. We're also having it at home, we're on 12 kids now...

J also has only 2 teeth, I was getting worried, but I read on another thread that some mommies are also experiencing the same thing, so decided not to worry too much.

Hello everyone!

OMG I have been trying to log on since forever!! Lost my password and for some reason everytime I requested a new one, it just never came! Until today LOL

Wow! Seems as if everyone is doing fairly well. My 10 mo old seems huge now in comparison though LOL he weighs 10kg's now and doesnt seem to be stopping!

He also has 2 teeth now, but started walking at 9 mo and is now a fully fledged walker running up and down the house...... and so the fun begins I tell you!

he is a really bad sleeper though, Paed suspects allergies but we apparently cannot confirm until his a yr old. So for now his on an a antihistamine, nasal spray, pump, etc. His nose is permanently running or blocked. Its a nightmare as it interferes with his sleeping, so his up 2-3 times a night still. Feeds each time, but does NOT always go back to sleep.

We are now down to 2 scoops of formula for his night time bottle, to try and break the feeding, but this does not seem to be hindering him at all.

I wanted to try some sleep training, not the hardcore one, but a gentle one, where you dont let them cry it out, but instead pat him to sleep. but wth all his colds and flu and general unhealthiness, I have placed all that on hold.

He has been sick soooo many times over the past 3 months that I can't even keep up anymore! Its either his nose, his ears, or his chest ;-( it breaks my heart to see him sick all the time, but lucikly his quite feisty, and doesnt let anything get him down

My goodness but arent they busy now at this stage?? I honestly do not need the gym anymore hey and coupled with a 2 yr old, I am constantly being kept on my toes

Other than that, I cant really complain. Work has been good.

I am not planning anything too big for his birthday yet. Just something small at home. I will do something bigger when his a little older. Although I understand the need to have a party LOL for my first one, I had a massive 1 yr birthday bash... also Winnie the Pooh theme

Anyway ladies, now that I am back, I will definately try and log on more often.

Good luck with all the babies

Regarding 2nd babies, I was hoping we stop @ 1 but DH wil love to have more kids. we r still young me (28) and DH (31), struggled to fall pregnant with Una and I dont think I wanna go thru that stress again
was suppossed to go onto Mirena, but ended up using the Patch. Gynae said she'll fit Mirena once Ive decided whether or not to hv another baba.

Hi Carmen.

Una weighs 7.45kg (took her on Tuesday for weighing). DH is tiny and Im also small built (yeh right, need to loose some preggy weight still) so Dr said we shouldnt expect Una to be big.

Im also planning the party for LG, Winnie the Pooh theme need to find an indoor venue thou cos its so cold and our house doesnt have enough space for the set-up.

so excited, our little babas are growing into princesses . . .

Regarding teething, I rub Calpol suspension on Una's gums to help with the pain and swelling. but she doesnt give us alot of trouble wen teething.

Hope EJ gets better soon

Hey, Patty. LG at 9 months weighed 7.6kg, but in December 2010 she weighed 7.3kg. She only put on 300grams in 5 months which is worrying. Two weeks ago she weighed 8.2 kg. Need to take her in for a weigh in next week. How much does Una weigh now? This weight thing is really bothering me, but baby daddy's family is not big - quite tiny and I am fat, but small boned. What do you think?

We are also busy preparing to have a party for EJ - 101 Dalmations theme.

Anybody arranging a party for their lil' ones?

Hi Newbie you lucky fish my LG stil wakes up 2/3 times @ night she'l just suck her bottle and go back to sleep.

Carmen our girls were born on same day how much does she weigh if Paed says she's underweight?

Una weighs 7.45kg now, she was stuck @ 7kg from 6months so Dr did blood tests to find out why she's not growing. found she's allergic to most things (nuts, eggs, milk, soya, fish) so was not absorbing any nutrients.

now she's on Pepticate formula and her diet is:
Breakfast - cereal mixed with soft porrige (Maltabella) or Toast with liver spread.
Morning snack - Purity or fresh fruit and bottle of formula (150-240ml)
Lunch - veggies and protein (beek/chicken)
afternoon snack - fruit or buscuit or purity and formula.
Dinner - rice/pasta/porrige/mashed potatoes and chicken/beef
then she'l have 2 bottles of formula @ night.

we have been chatting on Moomies by month also www.moomie.co.za/index.php?option=com_ku...w&catid=11&id=182503
