    hey everyone,

    Firstly i have had to take a few moment to breathe and process all your abundantly kind and encouraging words. I get quite thrown when ppl are kind. And even hubbie has been hearing your kind words and is also like myself grateful for your support ild be lost with out you. REALLY LOST!! I am just over whelmed by your support. For the record i havnt really told my family my struggles of his weight gain and didnt even say about the hearing eithor and decided not to tell about the murmur and also the crooked winkie. im a very private person ya see after ya talk about Vaginal mucus there sorta isn't any place to hide is there with you girls.

    Words just don't ever seem enough to say THANK YOU!!


    We went to shops to buy the back packs on sale for 15 dollars for carry on bags on plane got 5 of them. Also got 4 of those trolley luggage bags they had for 30 each. We saved such a fortune its not funny. then hubbie suggested we stop at the jewelry shop. I think he was trying to cheer me up. He ended up buying our daughter some sleepers and our son too as he is getting his ear done next year if he still wants. He bought me a solid gold fob chain. And i bought his mother a gold pair of garnet dangle earings to take to nz with us They do such a huge mark up on jewelry hey like they think my chains worth around 479 i dont think so i dunno i am no jewelry maker. spent heaps to day on credit card GOOD few hundred dollars but saved more than we spent so i guess i can be happy with that.

    sasha ..... ebay had those scales selling dirt cheap. After researching it yesterday i decided maybe i should get some, i could weigh josh before and after feeds fully clothes get an idea how my supply is going and maybe i could see if he is loosing weight over night from long sleeps. Scored the same set as the link i sent you for 3.25 plus 25 post. I am thinking maybe he has a fast metabolism and he is loosing weight so maybe thats why the gains are small i dunno. Cant hurt to test out the theory

    vic ..... i had one of those moments like you today but opposite the ladie thought josh was 2 weeks old and we corrected her and said no we said 10 weeks old she was gob smacked "10 weeks" "He is so small.... Oh my" she said in a loud shocked voice. I used to get the oh my he is such a big boy with my 3 year old, it was great to start with i felt like yeah im doing a great job then it got a bit offensive with ppl staring and that and saying "he is going to be BIG boy". Or "your dad must be a big man" or "you must be big like dad are you"I felt like saying shut your face!! Then u also get the ppl who behind ya back say things like " thats so wrong!! " cant they stop feeding him" Don't they know the word no" GRRRRR ppl like that annoy the pants off me. Sorry if i offend anyone just talking about my experiences!

    Leasha your cool dont worry about anything you posted such a nice post and i appreciated it and all of you too thank you.

    well even with my new jewelry it sorta doesn't heal the real problem hey! The goal is get to next Wednesday thats it and re asses from there but hey i made it to 10 weeks. i feel like i am getting so angry with everything right now, maybe its hormonal changes i keep thinking this first period when it comes is gonna be NASTY.

    oh bum just realized need to contact adoption agency need to get that happening too.
    Also hubbie got the job so thats great just got him on small hours and will increase slowly hope they blinkin hurry tho got a nearly 700 car redgo bill to pay.

    Leash and Mel the girls are just adorable!!! Awwww!!!! Glad to hear all went well!

    Squidipa, we are all here for you, supporting you all the way!

    I say Nakita's corrected age (8 weeks) where I don't feel like going through the whole story, even then they go oh she is so tiny (to me she looks huge now!)

    Hugs Sasha, about Kye being a big boy, geez people just ain't happy are they, you and your hubby are really tall, it isn't surprising the Kye is growing fast, he wants to catch up to you both, what do people expect. Hope you OB appointment went well.

    Vic - awww thank you... i think they looked so cute together!!! Oh and you can post the name of the store, just not a link to the website.

    MM - thanks!! just think, if you lived up here you could have your munchkin in the middle of two chickie babes!! lol

    Well I woke Miss M up at 10 last night cos she only had 4 bottles yesterday, so she was asleep by 11, woke up round 3.30ish - settled with a dummy and woke up this morning about half an hour ago... what a good girl!!!! She has finally moved up to drinking around 200ml now, instead of 135ml - woohoo!!!!

    Better go change a very wet nappy!!!!

    Mel - Kye is slowly creeping up in his amount too, I've been doing it gradually though as I dont want him to start power chucking again
    In saying that though, his amounts yesterday were all over the shop. I would put 170-180ml in the bottle and would be lucky if he drank 140ml.

    I didnt keep an accurate track of what his intake was for yesterday but it just felt like he didnt drink nearly as much as what he usually does..
    I guess like us they will have their days where they are less hungrier than usual, true? Not anything to worry about aye?

    Yay Mel!!! What a good little girl you have there!!! I tried upping N's evening bottle of expressed to 150ml, uh oh... she groaned for hours poor thing, so we are siting at 120ml atm. Mind you, I don't know how much more would fit!

    Toys R Us, have the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders range on special this week, some swing are half price and next week they will have the Rainforest range on special not as cheap, but i am sending DH into there tonight to see what we get!

    I like the bigger swings, but DH thinks the smaller ones, but I want one the reclines into two positions, she is she falls asleep I can leave her in it, something to have at the office, will save me taking the pram down all the time. She doesn't sleep in the rocker well. We will see i guess!!

    Have a great day everyone, 25 here today, clear blue skies, got one load of washing on the line want to get two more up so must run!! Playgroup (normal) at 1:30!
