Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Schatsie, I have read that thrush can be uncomfortable for them and that they might battle to drink. I think it burns when they drink. I clean my LG mouth once in a while, I should actually do it more often. I hope his thrush clears up soon and be careful that you don't get it on your nipples as well.

Good morning girls!

Yay yay it's Friday!

Cath and Rakker your baby pics are gorgeous!!! Rakker I'm seriously jealous of all the cute pink girly stuff!

Meags, welcome in Cape Town!! See you on Sunday!

I had SUCH a "fight" with my son to try and get him to take the boob last night! I decided I've had enough - I really do not need to have these fighting sessions with him when he clearly does NOT want the boob! So I told DH I'm phoning my dr and asking him to give me the tablets to stop the milk. Then this morning I tried feeding him again and it went quite well, so now I've decided to wait until after the weekend to get the tablets. I do enjoy it when he drinks well, but gee it's hard when he doesn't want to and I have all this milk.

Shame, my little man seems to have some thrush in his mouth. So I got him some drops for it last night. Let's hope it helps soon. Is it actually sore or uncomfortable for them? I heard you should use gliserine on an earbud to clean their mouths to prevent thrush. Are you guys doing that?

WOW, this morning when I opened my internet banking my SARS money was in already! 2 days after I did my return! Well done and thank you SARS!

Hope you all have a lovely Friday and weekend and looking forward to seeing you CT girls on Sunday!

hi girls

im in CT!! yippee!! Step mother has actually been great with Matt. just not happy that she rocks him to sleep so will mention it tomorrow as I prefer him to put himself to sleep if possible. She got him to drink 180ml which is fantastic!

Anje I made a YouTube account then pasted the link here for the video

cant wait to meet everyone on sunday!!

Just 3 pics from the photo shoot of long ago, LOL. There were so many nice ones, so I struggled to pic just 3...

Hi everyone,

Well I'm feeling much better today so I am very happy about that Visited my mom today so she babysat whilst I had a nap - was heavenly. M has been waking up 2 - 3 times a night this whole week (I think it might be because she gets less attention during the day?) and it also took much longer for her to fall back to sleep, sometimes up to an hour, so I have been really tired. Being tired and sick is not good, especially if you have a baby to look after.

Meags, I am so glad Matt is drinking better now, hopefully the reflux will disappear soon and that the feeds will also go by quicker.

Fawhaway, I am glad your mom has been to see someone and also that she is putting your dad in a home. Just a quick question, does the sugar and salt help with milk production or is it just for the taste? I make myself Jungle Juice sometimes, should probably make it everyday...

Schatsie, I am glad you are enjoying being back at work....It makes it easier to work again... I hope the tax man gives you lots of $$$...

MissesMom, the bread bowls do sound interesting, how do you make it?? Enjoy you night out with the girls!

Anje, hopefully there will be no more blood, but I'm sure if it was serious the pead would have said something.

Cathm, your baby is gorgeous!

So today I decided I seriously need to do something about my weight or I'll have nothing to wear when I get back to work. I still wear my smaller size maternity clothing as my size 6 pants don't even get past my thighs... I did some serious over indulging during my pregnancy and now have to bear the consequences. My husband recons I will never fit in a 6 again... I want to proof him wrong! But to get there is another question. This is the first time in my life I have weighed more than 50, so I don't really know where to start. I am not one for exercising or diets. But I have seen what wonders Weight Less does, so I might just go on that.

Have to go, DH wants to work on his fish tank so I have to take M by him.

Hope you all have a lovely warm day tomorrow

AND THE DAY BEFORE

little one!!! at his baptism!!!
