Sorry i dont have enough time to respond to your messages right now but have seen your messages u been posting..
Firstly thank you EVERYONE for your thoughts and vibes and huggles and support it is SO very much and desperately needed and excepted From me and hubbie.

Thank you to Mel who texted me you must have known i would be up doing last feed Thank you! Very much appreciated!
thank you to VIC who sent off line message! It was encouraging and well needed
thank you to Kel for you pm sorry i didnt get back to you yesterday my head was just so far gone, exhausted to point where 10 year old had to cook tea she made salad, and both 10 year old ad 7 had to watch 3 year old i couldnt even talk last night clearly i was physically emotionally smashed.

O.k im getting over it somewhat, was absolutely devastated A new LOW for us both... i balled and balled and hubby was there to catch each tear. I got my baby scales yesterday and putting them to GREAT use now.
Midwife said express 30 mills 3 times daily and feed 5 times minimum. Thats what normally happends except for the expressing i expressed by hand 30 mils then 65 in one go when i had my let down.

This morning your parcel VIC did brighten up my day and the present too thank you Nakita Josh will love IT! I am sure it will become, a favorite thank you

The Pump makes a big diff makes it so much easier couldnt have came at a better time so thank you once again VIC


O.k after all my processing i have a plan

do the expressing give it to him at 2.45ish thats when eh has his few min big cry in car when i get kids from school.

as for monitoring him plan is
on friday reweigh him if he has not gained thats o.k..... If loss then take him to emergency at cab.
If on Monday a second weight loss i will take him to royal Brisbane emergency as its a pediatric hospital.

today i had a phone call from Cab pead center regarding my other son saying that we need new referral regarding ski allergies as they cant do it at cab. It was good as i got to talk to them regarding josh and she

booked me in on the 11th of nov at 11 to see a pead

she also said take him to emergency if another weigh loss and encouraged me and said you are doing the right thing.

So thats it thats the plan of action. I weigh josh before and after feeds not so much worried about the difference just more so that there is a gain of some sort each time showing he is getting something.
the 7 year old has been spewing all morning been trying to sort him out an everything else.. looks pale as anything just fallen asleep he been watching dvd's in bed with his bucket.

the 3 year old has been driving me beyond MAD!!! just very annoying attention seeking things as feeding josh takes about 50mins but that doesn't include settling or anything.. since Wednesday i have not weighed josh nude again i will do that tomorrow around 9-10am. My scales read exact to clinic witch is fantatsic

I am not really feeling a whole heap better but happy i have a plan of attack on what to do now.

BTW we are 12 weeks OR 3 MONTHS old today and still reaching for the 1 KILO over birth weight!!!
