yesterday what a day,First up josh peed on dadda hahahaha sucked in....Got DS3 off to daycare then we busted our butt to rush to shop in morning so i could get the stat dec and get it signed only to find that the time i thought they were there was not correct they were there at 11-2 and my pead appointment was at 11am. So instead i posted soem return items i bought in ebay i had been meaning to do for about 2 weeks and YAYposted some stuff for adoption agency so wasnt a complete loss. I also got the stat dec but didn't fill it out.
Then rushed off to pead appointment fed josh in car then went in only for them to weigh him just after a feed awww i was disappointed but oh well. Didnt take to long in waiting but i found it interesting a chart said at 4-6 months your baby should weigh 6.8-7.8kg getting 800ml of breast or fomula over 5 feeds. I found that interesting to read then went "oh hang on wow josh is sooo smalllllll!!!!" The pead i saw was not the person on the peice of paper appointment. he was not very helpful josh wee'ed on him i found that sooooooo funny!!! he deserved it tho. I tried very hard not to get frustrated with the pead he basically said there is nothing wrong with josh he is fine and average. he put his birth weigh and now weight on his chart that the hospital uses and then said yeah he is fine. I disagreed and i said i am not leaving here with you telling me he is fine and i don't agree. So then it all started in funny kind of way first up i made him plot the weight gains and losses then he still said nope he is fine and i said he has crossed and dropped lines the whole time that is not fine! He then went on to tell me that the charts in our red books are uselss.then went on to say that he is average and i asked what is average he pretty much said everything is as all kids are different. Agreed all kids do gain weight differently. Altho i know he is not average. I then went into a debate about the charts and that the 50 percentile line is a 50 percent line of the average child, then i continued to point that out and that this red book was done with the cooperation of many children and family's making up the nations average thats why there is several percentile lines. Trust me he didn't like that hehe.
he also then said i suggest u put him on formula and my comment was well wouldn't i be covering up as to why he isn't gaining enough? I don't think the dr liked that i was questioning him but i didn't care it took me this long to get there and i was gonna have this darn thing sorted. Ya know he didnt even realise or check that josh had a tongue tie hrmm hey? I said to him this is NOT normal 9 feeds a day and minimal weight gain it shouldn't be like this nor should it be this hard to try to get him to gain weight THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! He sorta didn't like that either. The pead left the room for a moment and hubbie said i want second or 3rd opinion i said YEAH!
Then the pead comes in the one we are ment to see on the referal and first of all he asks the first pead did you check the heart? he responded yes and the second pead then asked was he crying and the first pead said NO ahhhhhh yeah he was, he was blinkin screaming i was really getting annoyed now. But doing my best to keep it cool. The second pead got pee'ed on too but all in all was so much more helpful he wants urine and stool and blood work samples taken and done. But josh doesn't poo regularly so we have a jar at home when he does we will hand it in to be tested. he also asked for us to come back next week on Wednesday and put me on thos tablets to produce more milk but i have to go back in a week to get another script. he said 3 tablets 8 hourly for 1 week then 2 tablet a day second week then 1 a day 3rd week. he said his height and his weight match so thats a good thing but said he is going to be quite short he thinks strange!!! i am 173 cm and hubbie is about 5 cm taller than i so very strange in deed.
Afte all that we busted our buts back to morayfield for a second time then got the stat dec done for births and deaths and one for ex hubbie regarding taking kids to NZ and one of a formally known as change of name. Then rushed home to collect ds3 hubbie made me a sambo i ate in car thought whats the point in taking joshie out hey as i had not finished at shop. went back to shop then to drs and then got dinner and got home AFTER 9PM. Then to realise i forgot to go to chemist so went back out to find chemist shut to return home empty handed awwwwww it was a long day
joshie this week gained 110grams
yeah im happy but i also found it interesting the week prior was 220 and that was 6 feeds and expressing every feed and giving him that that was a total of around 320 ml ebm. to this week where 3 days was like last week and the other 5 days was 9 feeds daily interesting hey????
today i started those tablets so we will see what happends hey? very interesting it will be. Vic is it fast working any info ya can share????
thats siting supported for short periods not sitting alone
thanks for answering my q .... see thats the thing if eh is feeding 9 times a day fro bout 30 mins ya would think he would be gaining good weights this week hey.
DS1 fed every 2 hours around the clock for like the first six months and he was a big boy - but I think he needed the extra feeds because he was so big! So yeah, that was 12 times a day for about half an hour each feed!
GL with the paed hun!
thanks pixie for answering my q.
thats great 20 seconds yay!!! go kye!!!MM - Funny you say this as when I saw the pic I thought something similar.
I had Kye sitting all by himself the other night for about 20 seconds, didnt fall back or forward so I'm gathering he is starting to get good strength in his spine
He's starting to get better on his tummy but tends to be lazy and lie there and suck on his fist hahaha
I guess in his own time he'll get better LOL cant push these things!
On another note, had another sleep through last night 8:00pm till 5:30am
I hope your hubbie is better today!!! I got the same set for 3.25 i beat you hahaha, they are VERY accurate and great and have a memory storage to them. The first set i got drained batteries ridiculously so i contacted them an they sent me a replacement for free with out returning the old scales. They record the same as in the clinic here yaya!!!now when u tell me your weights i know that myn should be just as accurate as yours as they are the same scales
yeah i couldnt live with out them they take pride of place on my buffet in my lounge with a wind chime hanging over the top for distraction.
thats great about the gardener yeah you have more time now with Mis N rather than weeding i hate that job with a passion!!!. We were also thinking about solids at Christmas too just seemed like a good time i did give him some chocolate icecream a few weeks back just the smallest bit like the size of my pinky nail. His teeth were hurting and boy did he calm down and scoff that back haha It was good i should have taken a photo. Cant wait till he can have rusk sicks i love them they help heaps with teething but not those stupid bread sticks there to soft. Good luck with the dress fitting i am positive you will look good!
thanks everywhere we go ppl say wow he is small is he 6 or 8 weeks old they get blown away at how old he is and his size.
firstly thats great about Kye sleeping in cot u must be so happy u started with that all along? as for the birth cert it is ridiculous isnt it. i rang up and they said ours was posted on the 22nd oct and being we did not receive it we had to then go buy a stat dec and find a jp to sign it stating we did not receive it. So what did i do???? I went yesterday to get the stat dec filled it out posted it off with jp sig got home and my birth cert was there it says it was printed on the 6th nov. One problem oh no lets make that 2 problemsMorning all!
Well
1 i already sent the stat dec off what do i do????????
2 its missing my middle name on it and that NEEDS changing as hubbie said "i didn't have a baby with my mom" yeah same names!!!!
so what do we do ladies????? HELP!!!!
thats a GREAT gain well done!!!!! i and hubbie are so delighted for you well done!!!!
i totally understand where your coming from i have found it immensely useful to log all feeds conditions with kids without, style time relaxed tense fluid intake and more u might find it interesting too. My log goes back 46 days nows plus i think after all this i will keep it in joshies memory box.
ah im gonna have to post this as is as josh needs me again and i started this at 10am and i still havn't eaten so hope it makes sence
EDIT
add on this is whn i hate shared care, at moment my dd is at drs with ex as she hasnt been comfortable and limping on heel for a few days ahhhhh helllloooo grrrrr no9 one told me and now she is getting it checked i wish i was there. memba on the 23 aug she had a needle in heel i hope it didnt cause a problem hrmm *me thinking*
