Feb-May 2011 Mommies

hey everyone so little time but I did get to catch up on all your posts!! back at wrok today - first day - been ok but dying to get home to little one! Kimika just this week William also did his first LOUD giggle/laugh out loud! it was too cute! especailly as I think he was laughing at HIMSELF (he's his mommy's boy!) cause he'd given out a massive SHOUT and I think surprised himself and then BURST out laughing! William has been sleeping through since my brthday 4th June - LIKE REALLY sleeping through - i.e. 8 or 9 pm til 5 or 6 in the morning! But NOT the past 2 nights how ironic!!!! He was up at 3 this morning and I was not used to it!!! Shame i wasn't very quick and he actually started crying poor baby!!!! Anyway I'll write more tomorrow divine hearing all the news!

Mistymom - great so I will probably see you tomorrow. Would like to go for lunch with you and Schatsie, but will have to see how I am placed closer to the time. M has been home with me today. He has a fever. I also have Sarah's 6 week appointment with the paed on Wed I think just after 11. I must check.

Kimika- I don't have a nebulizer, will it help? He does have a cocktail of drugs prescribed by the doctor. I do struggle to get S to sleep in the day. Today she has had 2 short sleeps. Of 30 minutes to an hour so. The rest of the day she nods on and off in my arms, but the minute I put her down she wakes up
Glad R is back to feeding again. I can only imagine how it must be when lo won't feed. I expressed som milk the other day, wanted to mix it with a probiflora, I tried to feed it to S and she went bezerk. Was definitely not having it.

She is reluctantly chewing on a dummy from time to time now. She went for the free MAM one in the end. The 2 Tommee Tippee and 2 Avent ones are not to her taste.

Anje - have a sleeping bag made of cotton. I think it is a dipsy dot one. Also have a baby sence one that is cotton but winter weight.
I don't always use them. I just swaddle S in receiving blanket and cover her with blankets.

Got our web photos today of the photoshoot they are lovely I am so pleased. Can't wait for the cd.

How is everyone else that is MIA?

Betty - thank you , I have contacted her!

Mistymom - the lady from baby gym has asked me for your telephone number. She got your e-mail, mailed you back, but would like to speak with you before the class

Missesmom – Ah nice, hope you enjoyed the massage, it sounds divine. You have a wonderful DH !! The fairy party sounds really fun.

Kimika – hope you enjoyed the weekend at MIL. Don’t worry, L is also back on 2 hourly feeds and she doesn’t sleep that well at night anymore, so for now she sleeps in our bed after the first session on her own, much easier. It is just too cold at night. Good luck with your order !!

Betty – good luck with the builders, but hopefully the result will be all worth it. Hope M is better already.

I remember someone said something about mittens, we bought ours at Baby City and I am really glad I am not the only one using them. It sounds like everyone had a great fathers day, so did we, it was so fun to have a 1st fathers day.

Question: How do you keep your babies warm when they sleep in their cot ? L sweat a lot with any fleece clothing and she kicks herself open at night. I have considered those little sleeping bags, but could only find one’s made with fleece material.

Lucy - thank you for the info re nappies...will look into that! What non disposables are you using? I have started using my bambino mios which are working out great!

Betty - thank you for the info re babygym! Its just down the road from my house. I will email her now and can hopefully start on Tuesday. Sounds like fun Re afternoon niggles...Ryan gets them sometimes (luckily not often). Once i have been through the basic check list and he is still unhappy i put him in my babysense sling and walk around with him...it usually works! Only thing is if i stop walking he starts again so i wonder around the lounge and garden. Have you tried grip water?

AnjeD - nice to hear from you, and sounds like you are in a good work routine with LO...wow how lucky are you that you can take baby to work! She must love been with you al day.

MissesMom - thank you for info re karma How was the stone massage?? SOunds like a treat! I have never had one, but want to get around to having one soon. Yes it is so nice when DH's take over like that! Last night i fell asleep and DH just let me sleep from 7pm till 3am...he had also defrosted some EBM and i felt so great!

Kimika - your heart must of melted with the goiggling and how wonderful your family was there to share....i cant wait for the giggles...Ryan is really starting to smile a lot now! Reaching each new ilestone is such a nice feeling.

AFM - got a bit of a cold But on the mend! Had all the fathers around for fathers day lunch. How cool is ot to give DH a fathers day card? I wrote in it with my left hand so looked all childish!

Schatsie and I are meeting on Wed at 12 noon at M&B Canal Walk for lunch if any of you CT ladies would like to join us.

Thats all for now folks

Another long weekend goners

Missesmom, wow that theme is so great... there are so many amazing things to do!! She is going to love it!

Betty, I think most babies have niggly afternoons.. especially if they havent slept well during the day. Have you got a nebuliser for the croup-like cough?

AFM: Doing great.. R did his first real loud giggle today He did it once and fortuanetly I had a audience of my mom, dad and sis to hear it Sooooooo cute!!!! He is such a sweetie Oh and he is back onto 2hrly feeds during the day and back onto his normal nightroutine.. Im def not complaining about the 2hrly feeds anymore.. better that than not wanting to feed at all..shoo thats just too stressfull thanks! So be warned that if your babas go through some strange phase at 4months.. I think its natural..

This week I have a huuuuuge catering order.. Im already stressed on how Im going to get all done by Friday! eeek!
