Babies Born August 1st - 15th 2008 #4

[MummyTummy]

Hi everyone.... quick one from me. It is kind of a long weekend here in Melbourne due to Melbourne Cup tomorrow. So hubby and I have had quite a bit on!

Feeling very deflated here, had a weigh in today for Jett's 3 months. We have a gain of the grand total of 60gms for the last 4 weeks.

Not sure what the reasoning is for this, especially considering I had an over supply in the beginning and the poor lad was over feeding. It could be because we were both sick for quite some time in there or perhaps my supply is just doing it's own thing. So I have to try and express after every feed now and top him up. I'm also going back to feeding both sides each feed. Aaaggghhhhhh! Why can't this BF be easy????? It just doesn't make sense!

I just feel upset that this could have all been going on for 4 weeks and poor Jett has been suffering. But he has been happy enough, and I did try feeding him both sides last week and he threw up the extra in semi-powerchuck style. So I wasn't to know......but I can't help feeling guilty.

Ok, I'm going to slink off to bed now I've had my whinge. Hopefully I will be cheery again next time I'm on.

Mwah!

Hi everyone,

YAY for all the gains! WOOOHOOO! I'll weigh Jazz today some time and see how big she's gotten!

Kel, yep I'm going to the morning tea... I kept meaning to let you know but then kept fprgetting Can't wait to see Colleen, and Ann - she was so great. Ann oraganised the chaplan (sp?) to come see me because of everything that had happened, I thought that was really thoughtful We gave her some choccies which I think she enjoyed LOL!

Jazz has had a shocker. She just randomly screams every now and then... I kept thinking something had bitten her but I've checked her over, no marks or anything, she keeps doing it, I'm not sure.

Feeling very lonely today, I think I'm just emotional, but I had a big cry this morning when Shel left for work. She starts at 6.30am, but leaves at 5:50. Work is MAYBE 10 minutes down the road... I just don't understand why she leaves so early. This morning really upset me as she left without giving Jazz a cuddle, Jazz woke at at 5.45, i thought she would have stayed maybe 5 minutes longer to give her a cuddle or something but no she HAD to leave right at that very second. I dunno. I'm just being emotional I know. She's always done that, it just I think its just a compilationof things that have happened this weekend that are making things very unsteady between us. Anyway, not to worry, it'll work out. Just as long as Shel is home long enough to see that something needs working out...

Kat, if you jump on here today, how about coming to the meetup tomorrow? I left you a msg on MSN. if not might be able to organise something on Thursday if you're still around?

Morning all

Feel like I haven't posted in ages!!! I was at work yesterday so had a brief second during the day - posted in the July thread then the boss came into the room just as I pressed submit reply... pmsl... thank GOD the computer faces the other way!!!!!!!!

Squidipa - songs that make me cry:
Always - bon Jovi
Meds - Placebo
She will be loved - Maroon 5
Patience - Guns n roses
without you - motley crue
I remember you - skid row..

Just to name a few.. lol

Pixie - if you came up here, I'd take pics of you with your beautiful Beth

Kel - that is such a cute pic in your ticker!! She is such a cheeky pie!!!

MM - oooh could you be pregnant again already ?

Vic - yay for the weight gain - thats fantastic!!! Woooot!!!!

MT - sometimes what should be the easiest thing in life is often the hardest I'm sure its nothin serious - maybe he's just hit a plateau or something.

Leash - if you are lonely, lemme know - I've got a car all of my very own now - so DH has taken my car to work and I've got the magna with the car seats - so can come visit - if you want the company of a toddler that is!! LOL But yeah, if you are lonely and want company - I am here. And maybe Shel just likes to get to work early. I know I like to get to work early, settle in, put my bag and lunch away, chat to friends, grab a cuppa.. that kind of stuff.. has she always left early or only recently??

Squidipa - yukko for the train to ipswich in this weather.. its sooo muggy.. its 25 degrees already... and soooo yukky... 69% humidity already - and its not even 8.30am!!! yukko!!!!

OOoh DS will be happy - Yo gabba gabba is going to be on soon. I'm very happy - he has eaten one slice of toast already and had some cheerios (cereal) for breakfast.. so he's eaten and hasn't touched his milk.. woohoo!!!!!!!!

better ring the chiro (we have an appointment today for Miss M) to see if I can make it later. its supposed to be at 10. Well, she's asleep at the moment in the swing, I'm not dressed and don't really feel like getting ready and taking the kids out by myself.. lol.. i'm so lazy...

DH left for work early this morning - stupid architects deadlines.. grr.. his boss craps me off sooo much.. such a rude *****....

[mountain mummy]

Mel - PMSL @ Yo gabba gabba, it's so ghetto hey!! DS2 LOVES it as well!! 'cept he calls it "go yabba"!!! Personally, I like Broby (the little green one!) LOL!!

oooh could you be pregnant again already ?

hehehehe I guess only time will tell LOL!!!

MT - if it's any consolation, my ECHN said that BFed babies more commonly hit plateaus in their weight gains ... if Jett wasn't getting enough milk, I'm sure he'd let you know (and he wouldn't be as happy as he sounds!!) Don't lose heart sweet!

Squidipa - GL with your knee appt today and with Joshie's weigh in

Leasha - for being emotional! It happens alot here too, especially when Khaemon wants daddy to get him out of bed or dressed in the morning and daddy is at work in another state!!

Jazz has had a shocker. She just randomly screams every now and then... I kept thinking something had bitten her but I've checked her over, no marks or anything, she keeps doing it, I'm not sure.

Teething perhaps? Random pockets of wind that work themselves out?

Vic - for Nakita's weight gain!! Well done to both of you!

Well, as for me, I didn't get breakfast until 9.45am this morning because my ratbag kids (well the 2 eldest) decided to muck around and take 45 minutes to eat their own breakfast, then they had to get ready for school (which DD needs help with cause her uniform is soooooo difficult) then I had to change 2 nappies and get my 2 little men dressed, plus hang out a load of washing and then it was time to leave for school! I HATE leaving the house before breakfast and a cuppa, but I hate throwing it down due to time constraints as well, so I decided to wait til I got home!

Plus my eldest 2 decided 4am was the perfect time to get up this morning!!! (and due to the fact I have used my emoticon limit already, I can't throw in a "rolleyes" or a "wtf" or even a wide eyed one!! LOL!!) So despite the fact that I actually got to sleep before 9pm last night (hooray!!!), I am still tired today .... oh well ....

Anyway, big hugs to everyone, hope you all have a good day!!

Mel - PMSL @ Yo gabba gabba, it's so ghetto hey!! DS2 LOVES it as well!! 'cept he calls it "go yabba"!!! Personally, I like Broby (the little green one!) LOL!!

hehehehe I guess only time will tell LOL!!!

OOhhhh please let us know ... lol.. I was tempted to get DH to DTD last night - just cos I know I am ovulating.. but nooooo... wouldn't do it.... reduces my chance for a VBA2C - so as much as i would like another one... nope.. not yet... I'll have to live vicariously through you!! lol

And yeah... DS calls it yo yo... but also calls Diego something similar... lol


And....eww I hate that 4am wake up!!!

[Indadhanu]

PMSL I call yo gabba gabba 'yabba dabba do' i did it by acident once and now its stuck.

[mountain mummy]

oh dear ... pmsl ... "we love we love we love we love nick jr"!!!!

As for the 4am wake up - Master 7 and Miss 4 SHOULD know better!!!! Like it's STILL DARK!!!!!!! Master V on the other hand can be excused (cause he's a hungry hungry hippo atm!!! LOL!)

Hhehehehehe if I am UTD!!!! We'd end up with another July bub!!! LOL!
