Wow! This thread went crazy for a little bit there!

I tried to get on here the other night but the internet wouldn't let me on here - soooooooo frustrating!

Ok, I have caught up but as usual can't really remember what I have read so I will do my best!!

SB - I hope the packing is going well. Tough gig with a bub, I would be procrastinating too!

Rach - Great to hear Eli is thriving!! I can't even imagine what it would be like carrying him as Jett is only just over 5kgs! I find him heavy enough. I haven't kept up with your friends blog, it was heartbreaking reading it last time, but my thoughts and prayers are with them and family.

Shel - Yay for Kye - he is doing so well! I can't wait to take Jett swimming, but not just yet, don't really want to put him in the public pool just yet. Mmmmm - band-aid soup!

Squidipa - My left boob always feels fuller and produces more milk and flows faster too. It is completely normal to have one side that functions better than the other. Some babies even refuse to feed from the dodgy side, or show preference to the good side cos it isn't as much hard work for them. Jett poos quite regularly - usually 3-5 good poos each day. When he wasn't gaining much weight that dropped down to only 1 poo which was an indication for us that he wasn't getting enough food. I didn't realise it at the time though. I'm not saying this is the same with your case cos all bubs are different, but the best thing is to just note any changes that are not normal for your bub and go from there. I so hope you can work with your paed and find a solution to Joshies slow weight gain. And that you don't have to see that first paed again.

Leash - Big hugs! DH is being a bit like that at the moment, not nearly as bad, and I know some mothers in my mothers group have been going through the same thing as well. I wonder if it is because our babies are 3 months now and def no longer nb babies so they figure that it must be easy now, we should have a routine and life should go on as normal. They just seem to have no idea how challenging this is. No sooner do you think you have their routine figured out then they go and change it on you! I know what you mean about the tears, I had a few of them last week too while Jett cried. But I'll tell you what I do... I call DH at work when Jett is at the height of his screaming frenzy with him in my arms while I try to talk to him. Of course I can't hear a word he is saying so I just keep repeating "I can't hear you, I have no idea what you are saying, you are going to have to shout, etc". Just give him a little taste of what is going on at home when he isn't here! Although to be fair, DH is very supportive and understanding, just seems to forget when all is going well and starts to give me a hard time by saying stuff like I've been working all day....blah blah blah. Oh and the other comment I like to fire back at him is "I don't get to go to work all day and leave the baby with someone else like you do". I hope Shel realises soon that it really isn't as easy as it appears on the surface and all we really need is the support of our partners and families.

Mel - I hope DS's doodle issue is now sorted... Did you get him a fish? Did he name it?

Pixie - Did you and Bear get to pick up your car? Pity I missed you if you did. Otherwise I can pick it up for you and drive it to you...hehe

Mell - Wedding was today wasn't it? How'd it go? I bet you looked just stunning!

Vic - Sorry I have been missing our expressing parties over the last few nights!

Now I am sure I have forgotton someone but I apologise, it is not deliberate I assure you... so big hugs!

So my news....hmmm.... Jett has been moody over the last week. Not sure if it is feeding/my supply issue or what. I think he has now learnt "If I cry they will come" cos he cries like there is something really wrong, then I pick him up and he shuts up and goes all happy again. Trouble with a capital 'T' I say! I have noticed huge changes in him over the last week though... he is reaching and grabbing toys with the greatest of ease. He has really started "chatting" (he was before, but now it seems to be deliberate sounds if that makes sense) and his sitting and standing is becoming his greatest strength. He even rolled over from his tummy to his back the other day. I think it was an accident though, but he did seem determined that he was having none of tummy time! Oh and today he laughed for the first time! It was very funny, because he was being held by someone who is about to become a father for the first time next year and is still a little shy of the whole nappy/poo thing. And of course Jett let rip and there was poo everywhere - the worst he has ever done. It leaked out of his nappy, out of his bodysuit and his jeans. Dripped down his legs and over his socks on to this guys shirt, pants and armchair! He had that look on his face while Jett just looked relieved (it was the first poo of the day!!) and when I put Jett on the change table he just wriggled and giggled like it was the funniest thing ever! Awesome!

We have another weigh in tomorrow so we'll see how his weight gain has gone over the last week. I am not convinced it has gone brilliantly as I feel like my supply has been up and down like a yo-yo over the last week. But only time will tell and we can figure it out from there.

Hey, is anyone suddenly feeling more tired and less energy now than when bubs was newborn? Suddenly I am finding myself needing that afternoon nap whereas I didn't before. Oh, well, it is late now so I had better get to bed before I turn in to a pumpkin!

Mwah!
