Hello typing one handedI have a velcro baby today
Vic- thats great that they're starting on the second story of your house you must be soooo excited.
Nakita looks so cute, how quick has the 10 weeks gone I still remember the morning I woke up and saw the announcement.
Leash- how are you going chicky I hope everything went well with your brother.
The pixie- OMG what an awsome night you had, I try and wrap Allegra up tight but she always manages to wriggle out
Kiwigirl- ouchies I hate waking up full but thats great he slept for 6 hours. what size clothes is he in? Thats a great weight gain
Squidipa- sorry I wont be comming on Thursday Ihave to put my car in to get fixed there's a horrible noise in the engine I really want to meet up with you all though.
Congrats on all Josiah's weight gain thats great. Did I read right min 7 hours sleep!!!! I think your babies are going to have to have a baby chat to Allegra and tell her how to sleep that long she's waking every 3 hours still.
Hello to every one I missed
Someone mentioned a little while ago about DTD. I was trying to get online to ask if anyone else was told to wait 6 weeks before even attempting? I was told both times with the girls so I'm really surprised some of you haven't been told. I had a friend that hadn't been told either and she delivered in the Royal Womens here in Brisbane.
OMG last night I had a dream I had another baby! DF would freak if I fell pregnant again we are quite happy with 2

Just a quick one whilst chomping down some sangas and having a cuppa..
Vic - those pics look great!! I'm glad you like them!!! And yes some lawn advice would be quite handy...
Pixie - happy one month to little Beth!!!!! *mwah* How's her cold??
And everyone stop talking about the great long sleeps overnight!!! Making me very jealous..
Leash - definitely get a wii fit - we have one.. it talks to me.. its cool... and way to go on the growing.. woohoo!!!!!
Squidipa - as far as I know I'm still coming - have to confirm with DH that he doesn't need the car that day. But whatever time is fine by me, probably earlyish though - just so I can drop him at work and just keep driving. Little miss might actually sleep if I do that!!!!
Let me know ok?
Rach - holy cow thats a great gain!!!! I have nooo idea what DD is doing with her weight gain - never seem to get the car on a Tuesday, and thats the clinic day... so haven't weighed her for.. uh.... 3 weeks now.... we know she is growing cos some of her nappies don't fit her anymore - I'm very pleased with myself - haven't used a disposable on her for AGES now... hehehehe..
Although having to deal with cloth nappies, extra clothes to wash, bottles to wash, and two kids to look after is starting to do my head in!!!!! Soooo many things to do, and I just keep ripping up DH because he tries (bless him, he DOES try) but god he stuffs ***** up, or goes too slow, or can't do more than one thing at the same time (really irritating!!) and I just prefer to do it myself!!!!! Keep yelling at the poor bugger...
Ahh well... better get back to my cup of tea and then start cleaning the house before the monster wakes up and messes it all up again!!!!

Gudism you should weigh her at the clinic at Caboolture hospital its all free We weighed josh on Monday so Thursday Friday ill re weigh him then go to weekly weigh in's with him.
Hey kiwi girl my mother inlaw would say the weigh gains because the ice cream and milk products over there are so much more creamier that must include you to
On a side note... BIG PRAISE FOR MEbreast feeding as far as i have and for the rest of you all

I have thought about packing it in but so far we all good and on a roll

squidipa well done with the BFing. Beth and I have been doing well with it too so real happy about that.
Mel, Beth's cold is a whole lot better. She's a lot less grizzly although she has some mucous on her chest. She did a very impressive mucousy milky puke all over the Bear's shoulder this morning. LOL
Kel - scary stuff - I know how your DH feels, I would freak if we were pregnant again so soon. Still trying to get used to the one I've got.OMG last night I had a dream I had another baby!
Leash hope your brother is ok -
Vic - great news about your house!
hi to rach, MM, sasha, and everyone else..... Lotsasmiley hasn't been around for a while, I wonder how she's going

Message From Mountain Mummy!!! Update On Veygas!!
I got this message from Mountain Mummy:
Hey Vic
Next time you're on Belly Belly, can you let the other ladies know that Veygas has had his surgery - he came out of recovery at 4pm this afternoon (Tuesday). We are still in Children's hospital at Westmead to make sure he recovers ok from the anaesthetic. He did have a hernis, but also a tear in the lining of his stomach (as opposed to just the gap) so it had to be tied off twice.
Poor thing was fasted from 8.30am this morning, surgery started at 2.30pm. He seems to be doing ok so far, so hopefully we'll be going home tomorrow, but I just wanted to update you all on the progress. The doc ended up admitting us straight away after our aoppt yesterday. It's a relief to know it's been fixed and we got it early enough to not cause any major probs!
This stupid internet kiosk at the hossie won't let me acess belly belly site due to restricted content! Blah!
Thanks Vic!

Poor little thing - thanks for the update Vic.

Morning mum's amd
I was glad to hear the Veygas is oing well - sending more sloppy baby kisses from Nakita to Veygas and hugs to MM!!
Night tome feeds are around 4am now, so daddy gives Nakita a bottle of EBM at 9.45 then bed, she stirs a bit inbetween but isn't waking until 4am -
I've done two days straight of work only 4 hours monday but nearly 7 today, although I lost an hour today, Nakita was a little grotty so I put her in the carrier and did a lap around the block and when I got back to the office the lock was broken, it took and hour and I think 6 guys and we broke back into the office!! Nakita ended up being half and over her usual feed time - but she slept through the whole thing!!
The floor for the second story is down, now just waiting for the walls!
We have the weigh in today, so hoping for 160grams will bring us up to 1kg over birth weight
Beautiful piccy Mel of your littlePM me re:your lawn!!
Lol for the mucusy puke Pixie!! Great to hear she is getting better! Great sleep too
630grams in a week - wow Rachel! What magical boobie milk you have
Great work on the bf'ing squidipa!!
Kel - what a day that was, certainly got some bags packed! I seem to relive the birth a lot, it is one event if my life that I think I am still trying to understand, and I keep trying to think of anything that I may have missed at the time which world have given me a clue...
Hi Sasha, Leasha, The Bear, Lotsa, Rose, and sorry to anyone I have missed

Nakita's Weigh In
JUST A QUICK UPDATE
We went to see our MW again today and these are her latest stats:
Weight 3370grams (+180grams in 15 days, and +1020grams since birth
Length 53.5cm (+3.5cm in 4 weeks, and +8cm since birth) We think she is going to be tall and lean
HC 38cm (+1cm in 4 weeks, and +4cm since birth)
Her Paed wanted her to put on 150-170grams a week and we are doing just over half of that atm, but as long as she is putting on weight I am not concerned. We are having another weigh-in and check with our MW and if she has passed 3500grams we don't need to go back there, just regular checkups with CAYHS Nurse.
Generally happy with it all, glad that we don't have to do more top-ups.
She is bright and alert, the jaundice has nearly gone
We are just so proud of our little girl!
Yes Squidipa - it is very exciting second story framework was going up today!

Squidipa - great!!! will see you next week then
Another 2am wake up this morning - ahhh I so can't wait till sleeping through (although DS still wakes up at night too)
Oh well, nearly finished expressing so better get stuck into it!!
have a good day all...

:woot: Nakita slept from 10:30-5am yay!!! She stired inbetween but wasn't hungry!!
Also she has been favouring the left boob for the ast few days, which isn't surprising as it has the most milk, but at 5am I thought of a possible solution and it's working!! Football hold (under the arm) for the RHS, then just slide her across so she lays infront of me for the LHS, and she like the RHS now!! When I expressed last night my RHS was terrible only 15ml, compared to 50ml oh the LHS, so I hope this works and gets my right producing more milk. I think she knows something is different but she can't work it out
And on top of that she gulps the milk down so quickly from the left, that I amd now reclining or lying down, so she doesn't get so much wind and stuff.
MIL is down today, so will be giving her N when I have finished feeding, so I can get a few jobs done this morning - not going to have a lot of time cos were are wasting an hour taking DH to work as his car is in for a service
And this arvo we have Premmie Playgroup -I hope it is good, it will be weird taking her back to the WCH!!
It's very quiet on here atm, I hope mums and bubs are getting sleep....
Mel where do I start!!
We are very proud Squidipa!

Hi Vic,
Congrats on Nakita's growth, yay! And awesome for her long sleeps too - I remember you listing out all the feeds you were doing during the day/night while we were all still pregnant, so nice to be able to get more sleep eh?
Eli's sleeping 5-6 hours straight overnight now, yay
We've been out heaps this week to see different people and go to a coffee group. Saturday night we're leaving him for the evening with my parents while we go to the NZ version of the Logies.... should be fun, hoping it goes straightforward for them with Eli!!
Hope everyone's doing well
Registered User
Vic - thanks for posting about V for me! he is a bit of a velcro baby today, but i guess i can deal with that under the circumstances!
We are so glad to be home, but he's gonna be a bit of a stinky baby for the next week cause we aren't supposed to get the dressing wet ... it's clear, so we can see where the incision was made and make sure it doesn't get infected or anything. The incision itself is about 5 or 6 cm long (poor baby). Yesterday he kept sucking on the canula, but they had to leave it in just in case he didn't start feeding properly, but he's a little trooper.
On tuesday when they made him fast, i ended up having to express cause I was just so sore! I got fed up after 300mls and an hour, and actually started leaking again while he was in surgery!But we found out one thing - he won't drink from a bottle! Not even EBM!! So i ended up having to throw all that milk away
But at least he will be better now!
Squidipa - yay for Josh's weight gain!! That must be a relief!
I'm sure there are more personals, but my brain is frazzled cause we are having smaller more frequent feeds atm, so not much sleep happening in between ... just hope everyone is having a good day!

MM - glad you're home again and everything went OK in the op. *hugs*

Sorry I have been MIA lately. Struggling to find the time to get back here as often as I use to
I havent bothered to read back on the thread; too much to catch up on but thought I would come in to post that I took Kye back to the health nurse today.
Last appointment was on the 28th August
Weight: Has gone from 4.13 kg to 5.19 kgs
Length: Has gone from 55cm to 56.3cm
HC: Has gone from 38.5cm to 40.5cm
So all n all I am very happy!! He is sleeping alot better now too - slowly getting over the whole colic ordeal, thank goodness!!
Thats all from me for now....
