That's what we'll find out from the paed surgeon at westmead ... but the doc i saw today said it's a simple 20 min op if it is necessary. I still feel bad, like there's something i could have done to prevent it, even though know there isn't

MM i am so sorry to hear about Veygas when is your appointment? Dont feel bad thats like saying i should feel bad about Josiah's Tight forskin its nothing i did wrong nor nothing you did wrong. Plus we are going through massive hormonal changes and we mums get tiered and moody a bit easily
. I have broken out in pimples wow havn't had them in ages. Josiahs pead appointment with surgeon is on Tuesday.
Leasha... thats great your getting more sleep. i slept till 10 am this morning bu then was woken by woman at door. Josiah has sorta skipped a night feed so he gets one about 10 and 5ish. Wonder if thats due to his stuffed up nose poor little man. He is stirring now!
Kiwi girl i hope that fever goes away for eli soon it can be so scary. How you coping with that?
last night at about 12.30 i went to BED! yes in my bed, first time in what feels like forever. I hate the couch put josh in pram in a semi upright position next to me.
went to dr today josh got weighed gained he has put on 70 grams since 22nd is this alright????? is this normal that only 300 grams up from birth weight. Hrmmm thoughts im quite worried about this. the stupid nurse tried to weigh him fully dressed with a full nappy the twit! We got it done right in the end.
Me and hubbie are on antibiotics for our sinus and chesty coldy fluy thing hope fully some will get to josh and make him all good too. Dr dismissed my cramping tummy said take anti inflammatorys for it he didnt even check my SCAR hrmmm. gotta go back in 2 days after i insisted on blood test for iron level. WiIll hopefully see another dr.
I been on phone for ages with my BEST MATE and im a bit ticked not with him but the way ppl treat him is gay and there is some so called friends trying to tell him other wize and force this female onto him their daughter infact. Its driving him bonkers that they just don't get it i think its VERY crewl to do that and im so annoyed!
Done a star reward chart for the 3 year old seems to be making some diff with behavior. Altho this morning he did try to make sandwiches so we will put a barrier up tonight to block kitchen off and see if that works.
Leasha i don't know what to suggest about the lop sided ness in pregnancy i found i was lop sided and still am now.
I got 2 new maternity bra's today a slightly padded on black from target and a lace white on too leasha did ya end up get new maternity bra's i think ay said you were going to.
kel... sweety
Beema hope nakita is more settled for you now? is she?
So much more i want to say but hubbies waiting up to make me some crumpets to eat for tea so betetr scoot.

squidipa - glad you got some antibiotics into you, weird the dr didn't check your scar... sounds like you're getting more on top of things too which is awesome
Leasha - glad Jazz is getting better with her sleeping! I saw your photos in the gallery - so cute!! I haven't had the lopsided boobs but I find it's kinda nice and reassuring when midwives say this is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Father's Day... unlike me DH isn't a big one for set days like birthdays etc he prefers things done on random days... but I think I might buy him some lego from Eli - he has been collecting it for when he's older and pretesting it hehe but we haven't got any in a while cos it costs a bit.
Mel - let me upload a pic of Eli in cloth today
Vic Eli's getting weighed and measured tomorrow.. at 17 days he was 4.99kg!! I'm guessing 5.4kg for tomorrow. He's getting heavy. Not sure about length.. maybe 59cm?
Eli's fever has gone but he's still a bit unsettled - fed every 2 hours last night and today... hopefully he's goes back to 3 hours tonight! That one hour makes a big difference.
Hi everyone else... typing one hand is slow!!

Hello everyone!
Well as promised I am back again to post and to say:
Kye is two weeks old today
Omg I cant believe that two weeks has passed already. Seems like just yesterday I was thinking of ways to bring on my labour.... lmao
MM - I am hearing ya on shocker nights. I've had a couple lately. The whole day yesterday too was a bit of a write off aswell. Kye just would not settle and in the end we figured out it was cause he had wind. Poor fella, here we are thinking he's hungry but no had a real bad bout of colic. I went to the chemist and got a bottle of 'Infants Friend' and boy did it make a difference. He only woke twice during the night to feed and even had a 4 hour block which is so not like him. He settled awesomely well afterwards too, yay!! I am slowly starting to get a routine happening one which is allowing me to get some more sleep which is always a good thing!
KG - sorry to hear Eli has a temperature
Squidipa - 70grams doesnt seem like alot for just over a week. I would be checking with your MW and seeing what they say.
I am changing Kye onto 'infant' nappies. He has already outgrown the newborn size!! Havent even been through one of the three boxes I got so have put them on ebayhopefully someone will buy em (put them on for $25 a box which I thought was reasonable) Have also put on a few of his 0000 Bonds suits which he has already grown out of but yeah they havent sold
Anyways time for me to eat while the man is sleeping, I am starving!!
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Good afternoon Mums and Bubs
I got a screaming headache
Hmm up at 7, feed and change bubs, friend arrived at 8am, we went to the markets at 8:30am took Nakita for her first trip to the markets, got a heaps of fresh fruit and vegies and free ranges eggs, came home, cooked bacon, eggs and hashbrowns - well started my friend had to help as I needed to feed again.
Finished feeding now I am on BB for a few minutes!!! Half an hour until next feed so need to dry some clothes, stack the dishwasher, clean pump equipment, shields, and hopefully have a shower, hoping Nakita sleeps after the next feed then I can work!! A friend is having birthday drinks but I can't be bothered today, we had a big catchup with them last week so just gonna hang at home...
Squidipa, don't stress too much about the weight gain, it can be very up and down, as long as you have a lot of wet and pooey nappies, Josiah is settled, then just keep going hun, ring the nurse if you are worried, they may jsut get you to bring him in for another weigh in a bit closer together this time. Nakita only put on 80 grams this last week, and I am not worried, will weigh her again in another week and a half and if it hasn't gone up by a good figure then we will go from there. :hugs:
Happy 2 weeks Kye!!!
:woot: Nakita is 2 months old - OMG!!!!! LOL Rachel, she in just over half the size of Eli!!!!I reckon his mumma's milk is pretty good stuff!!
Hooray for the new bra's mums - nice to treat yourself.
Nakita has been more settled, although not at this minute, the hiccups get her really upset for little tike, she really hates them!!!
Huge :hugs: MM, I hope he doesn't require surgery, don't feel bad there is nothing you could have done to prevent it :hugs:
The Pixie, do you only use the dummy after a feed to settle her? I am terrified of giving Nakita a dummy as I don't want her to get addicted
Hooray for sleep Leasha!!! My boobs are lopsided, plus I always get more from the left than the right, one had always been slightly bigger than the other - pretty normal I think
Sorry for the rest of ya, must run or I will miss out on my shower!!!

there is 4 nappies a day abouts and very rairly are they fully wet. I rang the child health clinic to try to talk to nurse but obviously being Sunday nothing left a message. I then rang 13 health talked to nurse whoms aid i honestly dont know about baby birth weights so he gave me a number to call. The number was uselss as it wasnt for my area couldnt get through.
Kiwi girl... the dr was blinking useless. he said go see the nurse in next room to be weighed. The nurse tried to weigh baby fully dressedand i said no i want it done properly as he has a tongue tie and want to be sure he is feed correctly. They did the weight and she walked off i asked her to write it in back of book with other weights and she did but said nothing. In a rush with the 3 year old playing up we left as nurse was busy with another patient and walked off. Got home and looked in back off book. then this morning relaised hang on there was a check up in the book where they wrote his weight on the 22nd that was this morning when i realised and calculated crap thats not much of a gain
Im glad Eli is a bit better
SASHA.. i would return the box's of unused nappies to shop where ya got them from they will give you store credit for what ever the amount is they are at at time of return if u dont have a receipt. Once i bought 2 full boxes at a garage sale and returned then to big w and got 60 for them when i only paid 5 each good hey. The lady said im intitaled do do that they cant refuse me.
Joshie is restless i guess it could be the antibiotics. For some reason me and hubbie are more sick today than yesterday strange. I have folded about 5 loads of washing today and all the 3 years stuff in cupboard. i have pulled out his size 2's and 1 items and bagged them up for josh. Along with all the new ebay stuff we got. sorted in sizes and bagged them up with a lable. I did one lo bought it back in MAY and still have not done it. i LOVE my new bra its fabulous i have defenetly needed it if i am getting this exited about it hey.
I am very very very unimpressed with a 70 gram weight increasement none of the other kids were like that so it brings up questions???? are i not feeding him enough? he still has a funny nose poor man. And has been skipping the early morning feed. this is not uncomon as by 8 week all the kids skipped that early morning feed. He does wake but just wants a quick suckle of the dummie. He eats most often on average 2 -3 times in 3 hours.
Well gotta scoot my back sore from bending over doing the dishes the sinks to blinkin low grrr
