Jasper Brae is 4mths OLD

Hi All,

Well its true what they say the time really does fly passed!! Jasper is just over 4mths old and WOW the time has flown passed soooo quickly.

He is an amazing little boy who is a flirt already I am sure of it, he gives cheeky grins and does little chuckles J

So tall/long and getting so strong already. He loves to chatter and interact, and I am sure he will be talking before I know it cause he is always around people and talking!!

He is starting to eat rice cereal and various mash food that sorry to say comes from a JAR, Yes I admit I am feeding my child from a JAR . . .really people you can buy organic stuff now, I don't see much of a difference to what I could make and also TIME is a big factor now that I am back at work full time. He seems to enjoy eating whatever I give him at this stage and he is up to about 6 different fruit/veg . . I am not sure I have mastered getting the spoon into his mouth properly all the time but hey we get there LOL

He took his 4mth injections just like he did the 2mth . . .like a pro!! Cried for less then a minute and was fine after that, see an amazing little boy! (Okay we all know I am slightly biased!!)

As mentioned above, I am now working full time which means Jasper goes to Daycare full time and enjoys it . . .he's always chattering and happy when I drop him off and pick him up and they are EXCELLENT with him, they love him and all take turns with him J I am very lucky to have such a great daycare just down the road from me!

I update pics on facebook pretty regularly so please contact me if you aren't my friend on there yet and would like to be.

Love Cara

Vote for Jasper!!

Thanks all

I will write some posts and add some pics soon

Picture update

Heya All,

Time for some more pics.

Jasper has the tale end of a cold at the momment which saw us spent one night in the childrens hospital due to it making him wheezy and hard to draw air in . . .however we got let out the next morning in time for me to enjoy the afternoon of my Birthday :-))

Other then that he has been having different tests done on his kidney but all is showing up alright at this stage.

I had moved him from his Bassenett to his cot but the past few nights I have had him back in the bassenet so that he could be in the loungeroom with his heater to help his cold and breething.

I am just putting on all different pics :-))

A Social Weekend

Heya All,

Jasper is doing well, the new formular I started him on is making his tummy a lot more comfortable for him. Also we went to the child health nurse for the weigh in yesterday and he is doing very nicely and above average on that front too YAY!!

We have been very lucky with people to visit and people visiting us too :-))

A few more pics cause I notice if I don't put up some regularly there are complaints (not naming names)!!!

Okay Mr JB is fed which means its time for a walk

Love to All

Over Two Weeks old

Heya All,

Jasper is now 16days old!!!

He is having a few owwee momments with his tummy but I am trying a few different drops and things to get the right combo to work . . .poor little boy as there is nothing you can do except hold him and move him around.

I haven't actually got many new pics but am attaching a few taken the other day when Mum and Dad came up for lunch :-))

Jasper and I are doing well besides his tummy, we get out for a walk most days and also go visiting or go the shops ect . . .no sitting around the house for us!!

Love to All

Second coming home

Heya All,

Jasper was let out of hospital today after 3 nights in there for his Jaundice . . .the levels are down now and he got the clean bill of health :-))

I of course took more pics . . .so thought I would post some while he was sleeping.

Tomorrow we have the child health nurse coming to visit . . . .hopefully she is nice!!

Jasper is back to his birth weight plus a bit more YAY

Heya All,

Sorry for pic delays, my internet is on slow at the momment so I am not even sure if these will go on but I am trying for those of you that haven't seen pics of him yet.

We are both healing and getting better, Jaser is currently under light therapy for Jaundice which was due to his very large bruise after being vaccumed out in a hurry and I am having physio for a very bruised and battered tailbone . . .so we are both getting some time to heal.

Will try and post more about actual birth and days that followed when I have a chance.

Nursery Rug and 34wk check up

Heya All,

Thank you for the lovely comments those of you that left them :-))

Don't you just love the cool rug I found for the nursery!! I have polished floor boards and high ceilings which makes the house pretty chilly in winter so I wanted a nice rug and its animal themed.

I had my check up yesterday and they have now decided I have to have an iron infusion so I am booked in for tomorrow and will be linked up to the IV for about 6-7hrs . . lucky I have a big novel to read, plus will take my portable DVD player :-)

While she was doing the check up she discovered too that JB is laying in a transverse/oblique position which at 34wks isn't too good . . .so he has a few weeks to turn himself around before they start talking scheduling a C section. I am not too worried what will be will be . . . I have no birth plan or anything cause basically I think you just never know what will happen or how it will be anyway!

SO it was a informative appointment and the Dr was just great, I have to go back weekly now so fingers crossed I get to see her again next Monday :-)

The Nursery hasn't changed from the other pictures yet . . .I am going to get a friend to help me move the furniture around and make it a bit nicer, I am not so good at that kind of stuff!!

1.5wks left of work I just can't believe how quickly its all come around, people always say how slowly pregnancy goes . . .well NOT FOR ME

Alright off to do some work

Love to All

Putting the Nursery Together

Heya All,

Saturday morning I was up just before 4am becuase Mum and Dad were moving out to their new place . . .they had to be on the road by 4.30am.

After they left I got to work on putting JB's room together . . .first I had to dismantle and move the queen size bed out then get to work putting together the IKEA furniture and putting everything I have accumulated in the past few mths into the cupboard and get everything set :-)

So I took a few pics . . . .not sure my neighbours appreciated the banging of a hammer at 5am in the morning!!!

I have still got to get a rug off lay-by for this room too . . .and Auntie TP is doing a big painting for one of the walls too :-)

Love Cara
