Sheree - I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that kind of thing will not transfer through your milk. Hope you are feeling better.

Hi everyone
Hope you're all going well with your little ones?
okay, most exciting thing for a lot of you who know me already - BONDY HAS A NEW JOB!!!! For those of you who don't know me, Bondy has been in the (stoopid) army for 6 years and after being messed around for a while now, he's managed to get out!
He got a call the other night - he's now got a job working on the coal mines down Emerald way (South east Qld - just out of Rockhampton!). He's at his medical at the moment and we've just got a couple of things that need sorting out before we have start dates etc. I'm so excited. Hopefully it will be a fly in fly out position at the moment but we'll consider moving down to Emerald / Rockhampton in a few months if he goes well and is enjoying it!
Tan032 - how's the whole pooing situation going? have you tried the sugar & water yet? I swear by it - Jess has had a few times where she is soooo blocked up and is grunting and carrying on. I give her 1/2 tsp raw sugar (apparently brown sugar works too) that has been dissolved in 60ml hot water (cooled down of course!) and within an hour, things are moving. BE WARNED: it's a real mess when it goes through, but the look of relief on Jess's face makes it worth it!!!
Jess is still all smiles and is as beautiful as ever. She's got a brilliant appetite on her - sometimes she will drink 125ml of milk (formula) and then some days she's got a growing spurt or something and will then cry because she's still hungry, and has been known to polish off another 125ml straight up! Wow.
She's now booked into day care for a couple of hours a week... gets her used to being around other people, and gives me a chance to do a bit more work which is good too!
That's about it. Hope you're having a great day. Talk soon.

Just a quick post, super busy atm with paperwork from our business (our Newsagency)....
but just came into brag..... SORRY gals but.....
My boy slept thru till 5am this morning.
My routine last night was 5pm Bath, 6.30pm Feed, 7.30pm Asleep, 10pm Dreamfeed, and then he slept till 5am. Whahoo.....
We heard him start to cry at 2am, and I said to Wade, ohhh 2am seems to be his time to wake!! And then Wade said just let him go for a minute and we will see if we have to go and get him. Sure enuf it was only a few little cries and then we never heard him again until 5am.
Gosh I can't believe it. Sleeping thru at 7 weeks old. Well we will see, 2nite is different night!
Feels promising though, you never know!

Hi Gals,
Bella had her 4wk check yesterday. My lovely family doctor was amazed by her progress.
Bella now weighs 4.5kgs, is 55cms long and has a HC of 39cms.
At birth she was 3.19kgs, 49.5cms and had a HC of 36.5 so she is definately growing well.
Her weight shocked me a little....fat little piggy she is at the moment. 3 rolls on one thigh and 4 rolls on the other.
Oh and she has decided that she can roll from her back to her side and almost makes it onto her belly. Not impressed, I am sure they are not meant to be rolling anywhere at 4wks of age.

hi all,
Taz: Lochie has finally gone, we had tried the sugar thing twice and it didnt budge, so back to coloxyl drops and bang yeseterday he went with a vegence, the poor mite screamed and screamed and then it was like relief and a nappy to knock your socks off.
He isreally unsettled today, just had some infants friend, did a big burp and several bottom rumblers and has fallen asleep in my arms, problem is he will wake as soon as i put him down.
Congrats on Bondys new job.
Naomi: thats great that Bella is doing so well.

I think when bubs is sleeping and feeding at the same time, my little fella can't seem to get this down, he wakes up too much!

Welcome Elle!
Tan - I hope that your little man unblocks soon. Not nice when they are all clogged up.
Sheree - I would definately suspect the decaf... What on earth were you thinking drinking unleaded? LOL (I am a naughty mummy who drinks short blacks and wonders why Bella will not sleep) - Fingers crossed you are feeling better soon honey it is not nice feeling off when you have 2 little ones to deal with.
Bella is actually sleeping pretty well at the moment, but the naughty little miss has worked out that bottles are much less effort than boobie juice.
Unfortunately I worked a night shift last Sunday and she had to have a formula feed and since she really mucks about when she is on the breast because I am sure that she knows that I will lose patience and give her a bottle if she keeps it up.
Thankfully my supply is still 100% and she gets covered in BM if she doesn't suck because it just keeps flowing once it has started.
Oh and her tear duct looks like it has cleared up HOORAY! No gunk for 2 days now!!
And yes, baby buddies is quieter than Belly Buddies.... must be because our hands are now full and our bellies are empty.

Taz - Congrats on Bondy's new MINING job! Yipee for you!
Fingers crossed for the FIFO - good money and quality time when he is home would be awesome. I wish Darren could get out, but we have until Sep 09 before he is free to choose if he will stay or go another 4yrs. Urgh....
