Heloo ladies
i hope all mums and bubs and well
Ella is 4 months old today! Where oh where has the time gone!!!
I gave her a bath this morning and I forgot to roll my sleeves up
Just put her to bed before, i wish I had money coz I wouldn't mind having a couple of Friday night wines, but oh well such is life! i can hear OH snoring on the couch. Whatta nana!
Vegas- I'm still using the wee plastic baby tub too. We don't have enough water supply to fill up the big bath. So we shower her instead. i have been using the baby bath lately though while OH is at work and its so little we have to have her partly sitting up
Julchen- I hope you have had a good day with your step daughter. That's great about the baby rice! I can't believe he ate a bowl full. How much does he usually have?
I have left Ella home with my sister once while me and OH went to the movies. We did it during the day so she didnt have to worry about bedtime and all that. She slept for her alot of the time. About once a week after ella is in bed i go and have a coffee at a friends house. it was so hard leaving her at 1st but it got easier.
Cocoa- M looks lovely in her necklace! It looks the same colour as Ella's (light Cognac). I want a photo of her with a bare belly and her necklace but it's just too cold here right now
Where do you take M to get her shots done? (You said you havn't taken her to a doctor yet) Ella gets hers done at the doctor- the doctor checks her over then we go into a little room and the nurse gives her the immunisations.
Our bedroom is right next to the road too and the traffic can get quite noisy. it was worse in the summer coz we had to leave the window open and we live right opposite a highschool. Ella had her own nursery but we managed to fit the cot into our room.(what a squeeze lol) And I took down all the decorations from her room and put them in ours so now our room is a fairy room. Atleast OH doesn't mind
If Ella wakes during the night (which she has been doing lately), I just grab her put her in bed with us and sleep while she feeds. Unless she is wriggling then it becomes a mission
We also have a black out curtain- well its not exactly a proper one its a big black mink blanket OH put up to keep the heat in as he is now sleeping next to the window coz of the cot.
Plans for the weekend- hmm, I might pop into a friends bday drinks for an hour or so tomorrow night, but other than that nothing much. How about you hun? I hope your dogsitting doesn't go to badly. It might even be fun!
Mummydee- Ella has Omeprazole for reflux. Apparently its the stronger type they can give- stronger than gaviscon so i don't see why she started her on that. it isnt even confirmed that ella has reflux- she is displaying symptoms, but if she is still symptomatic after a week of it its not reflux apparently. They come as capsules and i have to pull the capsule apart and mix the granules into a spoonful of pureed fruit every morning.
I changed doctors because mine was just so blazae. He wouldnt listen and just shrugged everything off. I never left satisfied. my midwife hooked me up with a lovely female doctor who listens and takes the time to tend to our needs. It's about an extra 20 minute drive away from my last doctor but I'd prefer to travel the distance to have a better doctor.
Lynn- Aah packing up house sux! It sounds like you have alot of baby clothes to sort through. I can't see myself ever getting rid of Ella's clothes. i can imagine myself becoming a hoarder
And yea sure I'll have your boys for a few days. Just ship em over to NZ and we will be good as gold
just make sure u pack some nice warm clothes for them as its coldies here!
Greenlady- hehe thanks. I love talking to you guys and sometimes I get behind and need to do a big catch up, but i love being part of this group. I have two friends due in march next year and i'm slightly jealous because it is "my" month
Hivechild- Hehe that is so true about the rolling, i was thinking about that today actually how I should just enjoy the fact that where i put her she stays for now. Although she does scoot to the side when she is on her tummy
Seity- Ella is pretty good with sleeping through noise too. her cot is right next to the wardrobe, and one night i turned the bedroom light on, opened the wardrobe and was digging around in there for ages looking for something and she slept through the whole thing lol. Thank goodness coz if we bang in the kitchen it is really loud in the bedroom coz it is behind the wall.
Steffi- Did you look into any sleepwraps or wedges?
x
had a feed then she went back off to bed.
the most awful smell ever! None of the beds are wet (ours or ellas) so ill pull the beds out tomorrow. Ella and dan are sleeping so i will have to put up with it for the night

, for WTT. DH is already after me for another one, but I want to wait until Charlotte is a year old. I'd like to have my children pretty close together because I think they will have a better chance of being friends. I have six years between me and my first brother and twelve years between me and my baby brother. So my parents currently have a child in his teens, one in his 20's, and me in my 30's. My mother admits that she should have planned better (or just planned at all).
