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!

[Arimeh]

Rach - holy guacamole woman!!!!! Soon that boy will be walking around, he's growing so big!!!! And I've heard that babies can go up to 28 days without poo poo ( I know I've said that before) but I'm glad my kids don't bottle it up cos I'm the one that has to squirt the crap off the nappies..lol... I'm sorry to hear about your friend's child - its every mothers nightmare I think... just not the natural way of things..

MM - now you have my number - stalk me all you like BABY...

Squidipa - josh is such a brave boy!!!!! big kisses and cuddles for him!!!

Pixie - are you sure you don't want to come to queensland instead?!?!!

Not much else goin on here. Got all the stuff organised for tomorrow. I'm surfing BB, kids are asleep, DH is watching the basketball he taped off foxtel today.... not much else happening... such a boring old life.

Back to work again tomorrow.. another boring day, another coupla dollars..

[mountain mummy]

MM - now you have my number - stalk me all you like BABY...

You asked for it! LOL!

And somehow I don't see how going to QUEENSLAND to pick up a car which is in MELBOURNE is gonna help Pixie & Bear!! pmsl

[Arimeh]

Well duh MM.. we do have cars in queensland ya know...

[thepixie]

don't knock it mountain mummy, it can't be any more crazy than the plan for today.... the Bear is waiting for confirmation that the car settlement went through... he is going to call me, we will book flights and a rental car, I am supposed to pack a bag and baby stuff and he will come and get me and then we will go to Melbourne.... what could possibly go wrong?
Around here it's what we call a Bear-brained scheme....

[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

[mountain mummy]

Hi all,

I'm answering posts in the order they're posted in, so bear with me!

Pixie - good luck with organising and packing with a baby!! Go the Bear-brained scheme!! LOL!

Kel - pmsl ... yeah, Mel and I were a bit crazy last night ....

SB - good luck with YOUR packing etc with a baby!! And hope the move goes smoothly for you ...

Sasha - good luck with the weigh in! And don't be paranoid - you guys are tall!!

Pixie - hhmmmmmm my secret past .... well it just kinda slipped out when I was chatting to Mel ... but when I was younger (so much younger than today ... but I digress) anyways, when I was ALOT younger, I used to be one of those chickys on the other end of the phone on the numbers that mainly desperate guys ring LOL! But hey, it paid the bills, and all I had to do was talk on the phone!! LOL!

Squidipa - when Master V was admitted for his surgery, I stayed a) because of breastfeeding and b) because we live so far away from the Children's hossie. However there was one bub about the same age who was there all by himself and it was so sad - for the 3 days we were in there, I saw his mum twice for about 15 mins each time Don't know what he was in for though

Sasha - what is average anyways???

Mel - I'm having that typing prob we were talking about last night! LOL!

As for me, I have spent the day dragging two littlies around a myriad of houses (yes house hunting by myself sucks hard!) and had to be back in time to get the other two!! And it was 30+ degrees all day everywhere I went!

Anyways, must start getting the kiddies ready for baths and bed! WOOOHOOOO and hopefully I can sleep (and not still be awake at 2.30am in the morning!)

Big hellos to everyone else!

Mwah xxxx

[squidipa]

should i be freaking out guys about joshies weight below the last line???
also josh has pooed 3 times today and thats not normal]and also on Tuesday night normally he poo's every 4-5 days could it be a reaction to these tablets?? do u think he could loose weight cause of it? since Wednesday the scales are already down 70 grams and that was before 2 of the poos today he was weighed i hope he is k as i said i am freaking out!!!

edit
and another real watery poo!
end of edit

[Arimeh]

Squidipa - Miss M poos at least twice a day, sometimes 3. I don't think its abnormal for babies to poo that often.

MM - how did the house hunting go?!!?! Did you find something??? We might move down there if the meeting with the IL's goes really crappy tomorrow.. hehe... I doubt there would be jobs down in your area for us though

Sasha - well done mate - woohoo!!!! great going

Better get to bed i suppose - DH is hounding me to go to bed - don't think it has anything to do with ME specifically, more the fact he wants to sleep in the new bed!!!!! typical...

lol
