[Arimeh]

[mountain mummy]

Yabba dabba dooooooooo!

[Arimeh]

Yup.. I need to shower.. too much excitement in this thread!!!!

[mountain mummy]

Mel, I think now is a good time to apologise to everyone else for hijacking our baby buddies thread!

Please forgive us ladies!

ETA: You seriously crack me up!! LOL!

[Arimeh]

Thanks for the chat MM..(do you know we talked for 43 minutes!!!! )

I'm all nice and fresh and smelling like a... well.. soap

nighty night everyone

[mountain mummy]

Yup! Unbelievable hey?? LOL!

[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....

[2girlz]

hey everyone sorry no time for personals just wanna say you girls CRACK me up I'm sitting here spitting out my coffee reading your posts!

[~StarBright~]

I am procrastinating.. i should be packing.. so much to do so little time... so much to laugh at in this crazy thread!!!

Pixie... Good luck with the car pick up!! I think there is something going on with the state of Victoria and crazy plans!!!

Squidipa... Good on you for sticking to your guns with the dr... I hope you find out whats going on with j soon.

Mel... No wonder i couldnt live in QLD- i am too lazy to use my legs while driving!!!

Rach... So sorry and sad to hear about your little friend. Her mum and dad will need all the support you can give them in the coming days, weeks, months and years xoxox

OK time to pack.. really i am going to.... bye for now!!

[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]

sooooo mountain mummy - what's your secret past??

[squidipa]

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

congrats on the weight and length he is gong to be such a big healthy boy
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
