kristi, our thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family, i hope the doctors figure out whats wrong with chardonnay soon so she can go home.
lea, poor you sounds like you have your hands full, dont feel bad about smacking i found with nathan that sometimes its just a knee jerk reaction, especialy when he did something that put himself in danger.
kellie, it must be hard to handle a sick child as well as a baby hope she gets better soon.
milly, i was also dieting(under docs watchful eye) whilst pregnant, i got married when i was seven months so i had a dress to fit into!! and if i loose weight now hopefuly we wont have too much trouble getting pregnant when we are ready.
danielle, hehe my husband wants us to have another baby straight away but i think thats only so he gets some lovin
lucys in a cranky mood she seems to have lost her apitite the formula tin says she should be having 5x200ml feeds but she is only having 4x150mls? but she is putting on weight so i shouldnt be worried
hello to everyone i missed its taken me ages to get this far
5 x 200mls would only be an average tasha, lucy may also have days where she wants 6 x 200mls...what you dont give it if she wants it LOL works both ways
Dont know what is wrong with her, waiting on test results. But she is improving. Temp has eased and she is more settled.
Had kidney ultrasound today which came back good. Had nasal suction to test for respiratory viruses, that came back clear.
I was able to put clothes on her today, she spent yesterday in a nappy. Her eyes are looking brighter again, thank goodness.
She is on 2 IV ab and IV fluids now. She has to be on the IV ab for at least another day.
It was SO hard to leave her there tonight, i just wanted to bundle her up and bring her home.
Thanks for all your thoughts girls, it means alot
Just quickly Tasha, Chardonnay has only just started drinking 120ml per feed. She has 5 to 6 feeds a day. That on the tin is just a guideline, she will start drinking 200ml when shes ready. 200ml per feed for a little 2 mth old tummy is rather alot i think.
I hope you are all well and stay well.

kristi, thanks for taking the time to keep us updated we are praying you get to take your baby home where she belongs very soon
i think i worry too much about getting lucy to sleep and not giving her enough play time because last nite i put her on the floor where she happiely kicked and babbled away for about half an hour, then she drank nearly 150mls and went easily off to sleep for 8 hours i was waking every hour or so just to check on her
oh i forgot to mention coffee went well... im glad i am making the steps to repair our friendship
i hope everyone has a great day
Tasha
i hope C comes home soon Kristi xxx how is she now , and just as important how are YOU right now ??
Milly , Its taken me 2 years to find something to smack nixon about ( not that i was looking , but ykwim) it scared the day lights outta me as most times i put gab in her capsule , then do a few odd jobs , like washing in the laundry , if nix had of done some thing like the park brake or something , i could never forgive myself ...
so the keys are way up high and safe ...
any way after my mini meltdown over dealing with a toddler i got my finger out of my bum and decided to do something about it , i googled tanturnms and found some advice that worked 1st time and has been working ever since ...
I have learnt to give nixon a choice , weather he was to eat break fast and co operate or misbehave and go to timeout ...
each time i have given him the choice , he has chose the 'good choice' .. which has got me feeling weary with releif , if he throws a tanty and wont co operate , i tell him that im leaving him where he is to calm down and sort him self out , then he can follow me and we can do some thing fun ...
"good choices make a good day.bad chocies make a bad day" , i also repeat this mantra to him ... its not to say he is an angel again but we are definatley getting somewhere ...
he is also having nightmares too .. poor thing , last night he woke screaming and all he wanted was mummy , he wouldnt let me go , we offered pandol but he just wanted me . he flung his tiny arms around my neck and did not let go till he was in a deep sleep , i tried to creep away but he started to cry , so i stayed for as long as he needed me to ...
as i left my bedroom to calm nix , i heard Gab wake so the whole time i was with nix i was paranoid gab would start screaming too .. but DH put a blankie on her and she slept until 5 am mg:
she has been a bit cranky today and is now having her 3rd sleep for the day ... her day naps are becomming longer and i have moved her into the nursery fopr day naps as its darker in there and less noisy ..
Day stay went well , with me finding the importance of having a routine for an unsettled bub, with nixon we didnt really have one as he was happy to do what we wanted , but Gab is different . she has taught me to really stop and listen to what my kids are trying to say ...
but right now im pooped and tossing up weather to take a nap or do up invoices for work .. i tink i will nap ..
gab is now 5.2 kgs and getting chubbier each day .. she is so strong in her neck and legs and always tries to sit or stand ..
but thats all for now , best go rest before gab wakes and nix gets home from kindy ..
morning girls
its been quiet round here hope everyone is ok
lea, how is the tantrum taming going?
kristi, hope c is on the road to recovery.
just when i think lucys getting a routine she ups and pulls the rug from under me...and now my eyes are hanging out my head im so tired, and to make me feel fantastic my dh( he goes to work at 4.30am) woke us both up to to tell us what a good nite we had!!!! he had slept through the 1 million times she woke up men!!!!
im off for a nap now
talk soon
tasha
Hi All, we are well...Poor Tasha, we are the opposite at the moment....im not sure what is going on BUT Grace, Eve and Thomas are giving me what i call good nights. Eve is giving me atleast 5hrs and settling back in her bed...Grace is good and Thomas is going 9hrs at night.....Ahhhhh so last night i was only woken 4 times, between three kids i am thinking that thats not too bad (see - if you set your hopes low you always are happy )
Ill sms Kristi for an update on C and will let you all know later today
i was waking every hour or so just to check on her
