Missy: Great photo of the kids!! They all look fantastic!
Tasia: Is the marine animal section finished yet? It was under construction when we went in May.
Zee: I'll give that a go and ask next time....I should have mentioned it when we saw the CHN. Ashlea is getting the leap frog thing too.
Fri's appt went pretty well. The CHN asked if I had any concerns about J and I said "I know i will get a slap on the wrists but he's still having bottles" she said to throw the bottles in the bin and throw something sloppy on top so I wouldn't be tempted to get it out! I haven't given him a bottle since.....last night was hell! He screamed, sobbed, could hardly breathe cause of the crying for hours! He kept saying he was hungry too which made me feel so bad! He eventually fell alseep on me and I fell asleep too in his bed. Then he woke at 4am and did it all over again, he asked for some water, I gave it to him and again he eventually went to sleep....I hate hearing him cry like that! Other than that his checkup went well, she said at his age he should be able to say 50 words (i would have thought it would be a lot more) but he would say at least 500 or more I reckon, there is 23 ppl in chris's fam alone plus animals, numbers, colours, shapes etc.
Jayden's Stats:
18mths 2.5yrs
Weight: 12.45kg 14.5kg
Length: 80cm 91.5cm
HC: 48.5cm not measured
Ashlea's Stats:
3mths 4mths
Weight: 5.77kg 6.42kg
Length: 56.2cm(2mths) 61.5cm
HC: 38cm (2mths) 41.7cm
CHN said that Ashlea's gains weren't great and would like to see her gain more than 100g (average) a week. I told her that she doesn't feed more than what I am offering and she is happy, content, alert and definitely not skinny...I'm happy with the way she is so if she gains more thats good but it will be because Ashlea wants to feed more not because I'm force feeding.
Anyway I better go to bed....fingers crossed Jayden sleeps through!!

: colour coding, it was too confusing all black
Blooming health nurses not happy with 100 grams a week!!!!!!!!!!! I have had same argument since Jacob was born!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a world of obesity you would think thet would be happy with any gain and a happy content baby who is developing normally!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Tan babe - if it makes you feel better - Ash was born lighter than Miss M and weighs more than she does now. I don't think she puts on even 100g a week - but she is growing in proportion - i think your CHN has forgotten that THAT is a sign of good growth.
Hi to everyone else. Got a busy day (niece's christening) so can't stop to chat, hope all are well and having a great weekend!!
Missy.. oh yeh bummer! Well least thats another brand of the same thing you can look out for. Even google it. Oh your santa photo turned out great!! I loye that theyre all smiling!
Tan.. oh good one with the bottles! hows he going?
Tasia.. good to hear you had a great day at the zoo hun. I think you needed a day like that hey.
Oh Keiras only putting on about the same as Jacob and Ash too. Shes still only drinking 150mls if that and you should see the size of her. She had a huge growth spurt at the beginning. But shes happy, sleeping through the night, is nearly in a size 0 so i couldnt careless what the nurses say about that. lol.. plus i dont even go to the clinic now. Only for her check ups she has to have. If i had a question about her or a concern then i may go but yeh i think shes doing fine. So yeh dont worry about that seriously.. i think you know in yourself if theyre growing ok or not.
So picked up Keira's christmas ball yesterday looks great! Better than ours! lol. So may have to get ours redone sometime. Bought my KK's pressie!! And thats about it.
DH let me sleep in this morning while he got up with the kids which was lovely. Think i might go make him some bacon and eggs in return.
Hope you all having a nice weekend. Im not going to do anything today, I was going to Iron but my head is thumping. Im going to relax and watch DVD's
Both kids are well and Liam is back in bed.
Callum watching fox and Matt just laying on the lounge before he goes out to mow the Lawn.
Thanks for the congrat Feeb. Im still in shock. Oh I think these nursed should relax abit. Mine is really good and is happy if im happy.
Anastasia thanks hun. Yes the santa photos went ok. Callum was the one we were always trying to get him to smile or look at the camera. Liam and Melissa just smiled all the time. Santa's beard kept flying into liams face...lol the fan was on and it was so funny.
Oh Zee I love looking at peoples houses with lights on. Oh I remember where your house is and ive only been there once. Nothing going on...hehehe Just kidding hun. have fun at the baptism.
TAnis dont worry about the nurse. Waht a biatch. I say as long as the kiddies are putting on weight isnt that what counts. Your kids look healthy. Dont worry. I love how you have just added to the chart so you can see how it was last time. I might have to do that.
Arimeh have fun at the christening.
Kell yes im still going to keep looking. I so want that car garage now...lol but he will get for his 3rd bday. Oh Keira is so healthy to look at. she is a porker. Nothing wrong with that little one. Oh nice about the ball hun and evern better about he sleep in. Way to go DH. Awwww your a good wife making him bacon and eggs. You can come here if you want as im starving
Well hi to the rest of you lovely ladies and of cause Bear. Hope you all having a nice weekend.
Feeb: Can't win either way I don't think....Another CHN told me after 3mths old they usually gain less than 150g's a week
Mel: I agree, and Miss M is healthy! Have fun at the christening!
Kell: OMG she's nearly in size 0! Ashlea is just getting into 00, still fits most 000. I'm not worried about what she said, thats why I told her basically that I didn't care she is fine the way she is. Jayden is going pretty good without the bottles, he has a whinge on and off but we get through it. Not long after i posted last night, he came in to me and asked for one...I told him they are in the bin and he can have water instead...so far so good.
Gotta run....making pasta for xmas day (why can't we just buy it???)
