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!

(Vic - I posted another cloth pic in my gallery of Mehkelti - feel free to check it out!!)

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 little PM 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

Squidipa - Ummm... I have a pic in the gallery of me and DS - so sorta gives you an idea what I look like.. sorta... I'm short, fat and have dark hair... LOL

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 - we passed the 1kg mark) Based on her corrected age she is in the 10th percentile, uncorrected she is off the chart completely EEK!
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!

[Arimeh]

Yay Vic that's great news!! She is growing so well honey... you must be proud of both of you!!! And i don't know what i would say in a PM - our garden is crap can you come fix it... pmsl...

Squidipa - can we reschedule for next week? I have so much crap to do tomorrow, so just thought instead of stressing out, maybe we can meet up next week instead?? Let me know if that is cool hon...OH and CONGRATS on the BFing...

MM - hope Veygas is recovering well...

Well DS is beside me on the couch absolutely pi$$ing himself laughing watching curious george on tv...i don't really know what he finds so funny... but oh well..

Right - back to shopping for nappies...

[squidipa]

Gudism aka mel yes next week is cool, just tell us what time and where sweet! I hear ya with sometimes there is just way to much to do. hehe with ds laughing!!

Vic congrats on Nakita gaining more weigth and growing so well you both must be VERY proud of her. Especially with the jaundice nearly gone .

[Arimeh]

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...

[*Beema*]

: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!
