[mountain mummy]

YAY SQUIDIPA!!!!!!!

Well done hun!!

[Arimeh]

Quick pop in whilst at work - Yay Squidipa thats excellent - you should be very proud of yourself for perservering - even after that dreadful Paed appointment!!! well done!!

SB - doh!!! I started to get all excited.. then kept reading... ahhh well.. at least if you guys get back on your feet, thats the main thing!!!!!!

MT - thats a great gain - woohoo for you and Jett!!!!

Ok better go before I get busted!!!!

[*Beema*]

Squidipa!! For both the weight gain and the BF'ing!!!!!

Good on you for sticking to your guns with the Paed, the first one sounds like a D!ck Head!! What was he saying about percentiles, where is Joshie on the charts? All the people we have delt with say that it doesn't matter where nakita is on the charts, that as long as she follows the same curve for that percentil or in er case goes up a bit, then it is all fine. We will never be on the 50th percentile, atm I think we are around the 10th, which is nice to be up from the 1st (all on corrected age, she hasn't hit the chart yet for actual) but none of it matters, just as long as she is gaining.

MM the dress fitting went well, I have to get a halter neck bra for the next fitting though, really looking forward to wearing this dress!! Do you think it would be a problem if I wore a halter neck bra for one day at the end of Janury - would if effect my milk, bit of a dumb question me thinks!

I wasn't even considering food until she was 6 months corrected, she will be 6 months actual at christmas!! But I was thinking of going more on her corrected age, I guess it will be a wait and see....she might not even take it then. aqnd I won't be worried if she doesn't!

Leasha, I pinched your little saying and put it on Facebook of Party Time at my house, bring your bbs or bottle, as dear Nakita has a new wake up time 3.45am and I am tired of it, been a week already, what happened to this being jsut a wonder week, I feel it is going to go longer!!!

Good luck on the move SB, hope eveything goes smoothly!

Crap gota go, playgroup shortly hope to be back on tonight !!!

Vic - the bra won't affect your supply, but getting to it if you need to might be a bit tricky!!

Vic - the bra won't affect your supply, but getting to it if you need to might be a bit tricky!!

Just be careful vic to express if need be or else you will get very sore, when i married (the first time) I was still BFing and even tho i could get out of my clothes to do it i didn't as i had brought bottles and didn't want to be away from everything being it is ment to be a a once in a life time thing hey i ended up very sore after the night with the bone in the bra. Well thats juts my story

would love to do more personals but joshie is up

today my dear little thunder bom joshie had his needle to test his blood and i had to also collect the wee and i put the bag upside done theres no alot of opening room for balls and all if ya know what i mean i had to poke everything in to the hole poor little man Got the sample all the same.

Vic my baby book is in car but i will get back to you on that he has dropped lines thats the concern but ill tell ya exactly where he is later today if i remember k
Gotta scoot

BTW josh had no tears for the needle but obviously didnt like to be held down they couldn't get much out but thank GOD they didnt try again.I am VERY proud of him!! i put those patches on his arms before going hospital.

hey girls!

just a quick note, i haven't read your messages yet but all is well with us. eli is now 8.94kg and 66cm long as of this morning. only interesting thing of note this week is he's currently at 4 days of no poop!! i'm hoping he goes soon... but have heard up to 12 days can be normal.

i'm pretty upset over my friend's child about to die of cancer, probably will be tomorrow so so wrong for anyone to go through that kind of death and pain

xox

[thepixie]

Squiddy congratulations on collecting the samples.. I'm sure it wasn't easy!
Rach wow he is really growing! It must be so heavy to carry him now!
I read some more of your friends' blog. It's so heartbreaking I really feel for them.
Well, I think we're going to Melbourne tomorrow... maybe....
No other personals sorry, a bit exhausted but big waves and night all

[mountain mummy]

Pixie - I can't believe you walked 10k's!!! I walked down to the little general store on the highway and back again yesterday, but it's not exactly a long walk! But pushing around 25kg (DS2 & 3 + the pram) was tiring, and having to stop every so often waiting for DD to catch up ....

Squidipa - yay for collecting those samples!

Rachel - WOW Eli has grown heaps!! And I thought Veygas was a back-breaking weight!! I have been reading that journal too, and everytime I do it makes me cry! It's so unfair to lose a child, especially like that

Mel - I guess you don't want me stalking you LOL!

Anyways, I got a big day ahead of me tomorrow, so I think I should at least try to get some sleep

Night all!

[nagromeyk]

hey girls!
eli is now 8.94kg and 66cm long as of this morning

Thanks Rach, you dont make me as paranoid now about K's weight hehe 2 weeks ago he was 66cm long and 7.98kg.

Big to you hun re: your friends little girl. So so terrible to happen to such a precious girl but rest assured I'm sure she will have plenty of angels looking after her!

Kye has had another sleep through . He went to bed at 8:15pm and slept till 5:15am

Anyways off to get him weighed..... I'm predicting about 400 grams for the fortnight, wish me luck hehe

[thepixie]

I a, very sorry sorry about your friends child i honestly don't know what to say bar from sorry Big hugs!

Pixi if i walked 10k i would be in sooooo much pain even a full day on my legs is too much aching swelling pains yesterday was my full day and i am still rootted!

SB good luck packing hope u get it all sorted soon.

sasha good to read another sleep threw yay!

Joshie lost 70 grams since Wednesday :'( he s feeding this week 7 or 8 feeds daily, i am on those tablets but it seems that my left boob feels fuller some what than right hrmmm any thoughts?

Vic josh is below the 3rd percentile line in weight, when i realized this last night i started freaking out he weighs 4700 and is 15 weeks!!! i am glad tests are being done but sooo freaking out as he is below and they didnt see that at the pead or maybe they did the second pead did say some thing to first pead about keeping him in hospital then looked at me and said but she has other kids so go figure are they really concerned too??? what would happen if they did admit him????

[nagromeyk]

Hi again!

Well went and had K weighed this morning - a gain of 440 grams in two weeks, right on what I thought it would be.

The past week I have been documenting his feeds just to keep track and he has never had any more than about 1000ml a day and he still puts on 200 grams a week LMFAO....

Hes off the chart for everything now - length, height and head circumfrence

I am starting to realise he aint ever gonna fall into the "average" baby category hahaha

Anyways must go as he is cranky...dunno why; hes just had a 220ml bottle... little piggie!

ETA KYE NOW WEIGHS 8.3 KG
