[*Beema*]

+ 290grams

What a Boomba!!!

My MW was very surprised that I was still BF'ing, she half expected me to be fully FF, I said that it had made me more determined!! She gave me the contact details of a private lactation consultant and also of GP who plays around with Motilium - more trialling/changing the doses under supervision/monitoring, so I am giving her a call tomorrow and hope to get an appointment ASAP. I am keeping up the food diary too as well, which I am sure will be very important when I speak with the GP.

So we have the sign off now to just go to CAYHS, she said to leave it a month before weighing her again... hmmm can I wait that long!!!

Thanks again for your support

Kel - I guess it is still being built it has been a week and a half since I have seen it!! Job for tomorrow after work! Nakita aften raises her eyebrows. seems to get the look of surprise very often!!

PMSL Mel nice and subtle!!

Oh Squidipa... We never bought Baby Oil and probably never will, don't need it..... Great gain Josh!!

290 grams wow thats fab Conrats mommma dadda and Nakita.

I have nearly made it to my world record of 8 weeks. Its been hard real hard frustrating tiresome and ive so wanted to quit. Some times my boobs are like over stretched pancakes. Milk there just difficult to get josh to latch on when it so darn soft. The other day he was screaming i knew he was hungry and my body just would produce anything I was in tears. This was not the first for time either this has happened happends fairly regularly most days. I am annoyed hubbie lost the breast pump but not annoyed at him just the fact its missing and we been looking everywhere.

I nearly gave in the other day to give him formula i said to myself if he isn't feed and comfortable in 2 hours i am breaking open the tin of formula i have here. But he was good so i am so happy. would like more than 160 grams maybe 170 small increase i am happy with. at this point we still need to do weekly weigh ins i think Friday ill get my pap test results if i have time to go late in arvo.
Today we are baking with kids and arts and crafts again. yesterday me and DD made a scrap book with some stuff she had looks good she is so proud of it.

He is up now so gotta go .

*Steel blue eyes here*

I got arrears from center link of 1732.74 today wooohoooooooooo GrEaT for the savings and maybe a small treat thats cool did anyone else get arrears when partner done thier tax?

[Arimeh]

VIC - YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

What a great gain!!!

Well done to mummy and bubby for that weight gain - you are a great team!!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Kel - thanks - its my life all summed up at the moment in my location.. lol....

Squidipa - haven't got my tax back yet.... be interesting to see how much we get from centrelink. And well done on the BFing - I think you are doing an excellent job

Oh the eyes - DD has blue eyes, just like DS. Not as dark as his - his were nearly black when he was born they were so dark blue. Now they are a lovely shade of medium dark blue. DD has about the same shade as his are now - so will probably have light blue eyes. Darn - my kids never get MY eye colour (green) - just too many people with blue eyes in mine and DH's family for them to have anything than blue me thinks...

Hello to everyone else... *mwah*

[mountain mummy]

YAY VIC AND NAKITA FOR THAT AWESOME WEIGHT GAIN!!!!

we also don't have baby oil here, but our bathroom door is always shut and DS2 is never alone in there anyway!

(damn, someone drank my cuppa!)

veygas was back to 2 hourly feeds last night, but he had a really good day yesterday - the kind that almost makes me feel like I could get started on my business again! He is also being alot happier to be by himself now (in the vibrating rocker!) but if it's not vibrating, he cracks it hard!

( my toast is cold too!)

We got a nice little sum back from centrelink (I think about $2,000), also the 30% childcare rebate (around $900), plus DP got about $4,000 back from tax (but seriously, it doesn't make up for all the time he is away from home ) So we lumped half into the credit card and half into savings ...

Beth seems really hungry at the moment too, but trying not to feed her too much because we have had problems with overfeeding her so being careful!
Mummy Tummy - Beth seems to have stopped screaming re: the dirty nappies, she still lets me know but its not the end of the world IYKWIM. So thanks for all your help and advice. Beth's eyes are like Jett's - navy blue but i think they will go brown like the Bear's. Mine are green.
Morning Beema, squiddy, MM, Mel, kel, sash and everyone else!

Beth seems to have stopped screaming re: the dirty nappies, she still lets me know but its not the end of the world IYKWIM.

Morning right back at ya, as for dirty nappies it doesn't bother josh being in a wet one or poopy one. yesterday OH MY GOSH!!!!!! it was extreme he done some bigies as he normally does in a row. It was all over his leg clothes back and my dress pants undies and couch. He done about 3 biggies in a row then fell asleep about 2 mins later i went to move him and oh man.

[mountain mummy]

OMG Squidipa, you certainly have your hands full with just your 3yo! Does he get up to this sort of mischief when he is in care as well?

Pixie - when Veygas wakes up that often, he usually just snacks for about 5mins and falls straight back to sleep! And he is definitely awake, cause he cries and his eyes are open when I check on him! Sadly, nothing wakes him back up after that snack though!

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="SeaGreen"]YAY VIC AND NAKITA FOR THAT AWESOME WEIGHT GAIN!!!!

his world with cold toast hahaha actually it's always cold coffee too. As for locks on cupboards, well as ya all know we got them.

We now at night clear all bread off bench and sauces off table that son likes.
We make sure lock under sink is on.
Lock in corner cupboard on,
We check the stove ignition switch is off
Check bathroom cupboard door has lock still on.
We check the stool is still tyed to bathroom cupboard door.
We take all fruit off table and in our room at night.
We hide the hand bag as on top of fridge just isn't good enough!
We remove all kitchen chairs either out of kitchen in our room or upside down on kitchen table.
We take both study chairs out or room and one upside down.
We make sure alarm in on pantry cupboard is on.
Fridge alarm on.
Freezer alarm on.
We empty out all water from water filtration system. Making sure no liquid is left out or else it's all through carpet.
All mobile phones as there is 4 we and hubbie own and DD owns one too come to bed or else son plays with them too.
All pens and pencils get taken to our room at night also.
We check both cupboards in boys room zips are at top of cupboard so 3 year old can not trash room in morning and alarm is on his toy box.
We check that the alarm on toys box is switched back on switch.
Check bells are on door handle so we hear him getting up.
We also make sure the 7 year old personal private things are up high and his school bag is away or the 3 year old trashes it.
Then we do our general lock up of lights out down stairs, car locked, doors all secure and kids all covered up in bed.

At moment we have one cupboard empty and its in a washing basket in josh's cot filled with food.

the 3 year old will attempt anything GRRR except nuts he is usually pretty good with that and started climbing up on things so from this morning we started to move the high low peg high chair out of kitchen too as he was snapped on that but hahaha didn't realize i just put alarm on the freezer and he was standing on the peg high chair with it in low layed back position and opened freezer and dadda caught him

Ya see he got snapped this week eating frozen crumpets and attempted cream cheese philly too.

This is why we didn't hesitate in throwing out the oil as he would have drunk that if ever got hold of it i didn't know it could kill no blinkin warnings!!! how are we ment to keep our kids safe when they are liek myn eat eat eat eat eat he is 15 kilo and turned 3 in early June. Its a mission and a half.

On school days we have to get kids to take there lunch out to front porch as soon as its out and leave it out side in thier bags till they are ready to go or he will eat thier lunch too.

OMG Squidipa - I can't believe you have to do all that stuff - what a troublesome little monkey you have there - bet he's cute though

I have trouble enough getting my kid to eat - I wish he would raid stuff.. LOL... he loves eating plain bread though... and biscuits.. he loves biscuits...

I'm such a bad mummy today - got fluffy mail (nappies for those not in the know) and they chucked in a small packet (22g) of natural confectionary company lollies. Since i'm on a diet - I let Aricyn eat them all.. pmsl... he LOVES them - its the only lollies he eats (and the only time he gets lollies - when I get them free from fluffy mail.. lol)

Well.. its day 3 of diet... so far so good...

OMG Squidipa - I can't believe you have to do all that stuff - what a troublesome little monkey you have there - bet he's cute though

yeah each day we learn some new thing and we have to try another thing.

OMG Squidipa, you certainly have your hands full with just your 3yo! Does he get up to this sort of mischief when he is in care as well?

nope he is great at daycare mind u i pack a full lunch box. He does this in the early morning like some times when its dark. He is a sneaky boy very quiet. He does some times well every time if not watched get into stuff if left alone like if i go hang washing i have to take him or go toilet or go down stairs or on phone. He eats and eats. he has poor circulation and we need to be so much on the ball he doesn't get over weight as it makes it worse for him.
