DP came home yesterday morning sick as a dog and his temp kept going up and down all night, so with his coughing and snoring and me having to roll over everytime he rolled over (so he wasn't breathing in my face!)
I hope you had a better nights sleep last night sweet. How is V this morning less grumpy? How is your partner has he been to drs yet do you know what wrong with him? Hope he gets well soon for himself and for you so you can sleep more.

Hi guys

Squidipa - I think you are goin great with BFing - keep up the good work hey...

We suspect Miss M has silent reflux - went to the chiro this morning
Thanks for you ongoing support im persisting i would like to see a good gain of 125grams this week and over next 4 is my hopes especially as it difficult at times. Has Miss M's reflux dissipated at all since going to chiro? I do understand where you coming from with frustrations and it can at times be so easy to be in a mood with every thing and one. But your doing a great JOB!! Keep up the good work I normally warn the two eldest right now i need you to stay out of my Hair. they usually know and i dont even have to mention anything hehe.

squidia - cute pics of josh! Does he just have showers now, or baths too? Eli just had a shower once after he pooped in his bath LOL. congrats on the weight gain and still BF.
Kiwi Girl (two words) haha ummm its so much easier to shower with him i find he feels safer in my arms i think. Having to get bath out wash it ot and fill and make room and that just at times we don't have the time so just to strip him down throw him in with me is great i love it too Skin to skin contact.

On a different topic we had a great day today. He slept from 11am through till 3pm, couldnt believe it. Finally I think things might be on the up in regards to his day sleeps, hoorah!
Kye feel free to donate some of that good weight over to Josh come on ay friends arnt ya hehe Congrats on the good sleep did you do much?

Thats such a good idea to write a log of feeds I was thinking of doing it as it feels like Allegra is always feeding
Apart from her massive weight gain she has also grown heaps she is now 58cm long cadence was shorter then this at 10 weeks!
Kel thats a good measurement i dunno what josh is MW will do him on Wednesday i can tell he is growing tho hehe Hope velcro babies does ease for you are you using your pouch or sling i find josh gets so comfy in it i can just put him down. Also Josh loves the hamock do you own one? we have a adult one and i just sit in there with hi and he falls asleep straight away but you can buy baby ones too. Think Vic or sasha has one dunno could be wrong. I will continue to log all my feeding details and see over some time what if any patterns are arising and especially with any weight gain. It also helps as when the kids come over TODAY i can make sure i keep to those minimum 9 feeds and not let what i am doing take over as Josh doesn't really winge a lot for feeds.

going to try and get a haircut today - I had a dream the other night that it was all really short like I used to have it (instead of the shoulder length mess I have it in now) so thats made my mind up - I need a hair cut!!!!! Another note to self - ring hairdresser to see if I can get an appointment today....
hey i got myn cut yesterday but the woman didnt listen to me to what i said i wanted ahh well. Got about 8cm taken off between 5 and 8 cm in places. Feels better anyhow tell ay what i am due for is an armpit wax so will be getting that done this week end just gotta try not to forget.

Since this new feeding style josh is feeding every 2 hours through out most of the day. Altho no poopy napies maybe today today is day 3 if he doesnt poop. With out the poop i ham finding he arnt doing changes as much.

ill tell ay how i went yesterday k

2/10/2008 No poo again today 2 nappies hrmmm this is getting strange new feeding style no pooping and less nappies than i am used to :S

9.28 pm 14 Mins 3 re Attachments L/S i had to wake hm fr this feed

after that we fell asleep on couch at 1 am i woke and thought hubbie didnt put camera away from bubbles and the office chair was dwn wa sin no mood t lift it so slept on couch. I am very tiered sore back glad itw as warm as we had no blankets me and josh till about 3 am when i re woke and sore a blanket at end of couch so threw that on and at 5am got hubbe to get me anther.

The 3 year odl has been MUCH better in behavour and withj not getting into much at night i am so happy this is making things easier.

Last night we bough hubbie soem cheap shoes for work from k mart he goes through a pair every 2 months. He bought em soem shoes they are bown with pink sequiens on then and a kriss cross strap over top of foot. they are formt he kids section but i so love them just gotta make sure my daughter doesnt wnat them.

he also got me some 3/4 length leggings with lace trim. And i got a bar mix where the whole detachable stem is stainless steel made from sanyo scored that for $20 bucks yay. Now just need a cheap mixer as i hardly ever use that on ly for cream really hehe.

Btw going to see if there is weight gain this week and then start eliminating things.example just to name a few
Is it the attachment thats the issue?
is my supply enough?
Is it just times of day that supply is down?
Do i need to buy another breast pump would that make a diff?
Is his moth to small?
is it tongue tie related
are my nipple shape not working right for him?
So do i need nipple shields would that help?
Are i not eating drinking enough?
Is eh feeding enough?
Is the supply to slow?
is it mind over matter?
Are i holding him right?
Is his head back far enough?
Is he not getting the hind milk?
Are i not as comfortable as i could be during feeding?
Is it my stress thats causing a flow on effect?

there is a few factors i need to know is that the problem before i get him tongue tie cut as that may not even be the REAL issue.
