Megan, we had another day with no arvy nap. Tomorrow I'm going to try pushing out her morning one and see how that goes because I can't stand the frustration. Mind you, she's off her food and waking at night lately too, so it could be teeth or developmental change I guess. Who knows? I give up trying to figure her out! On day 3 when she was born, she got a sudden high temp and was whisked away to the special care nursery and put under the griller (LOL you know, the tables with the heater above) and went totally lethargic and non-responsive and wouldn't feed so she had all these blood tests and an IV (bandaged on with a splint) and ended up being fed through a nasal tube. They couldn't work out what it was (Dan had actually stayed away that day with a bad virus, but the symptoms weren't the same) Then they tried twice to do a lumbar puncture and she 'wouldn't let them' they told me. Anyway, it was never really pinned down and she was ok again by day 10. So awful at the time. Wires coming off her everywhere, Dan not able to be there, trying to get my milk in by pumping every 3 hours and taking 40mins to get 50ml total then get back to my room for a 20 min nap before coming back to do the Bf, nasal feed and pump all over again. I was at the Bali bombing which was no picnic, but OMG those 7 days were truly the worst time in my life by far. I was a mess.
Anyway, we went down there today and it actually bought back more memories of the moments right after her birth than anything else so, all good.

Oh Raels, some people just don't think do they? Good on you for speaking up about it! I can't believe that nurse actually asked if you were sure he was 1! I would've been tempted to reply something like 'oh, no I'm not really. I just found him in the street'. Maybe a short note to the doc saying you found her choice of words offensive would get her the kick up the butt she needs. Congrats on being an aunty - did it make you clucky...?

Jess you need a big I think. What a bad run you're having! I'm glad Ethan is recovering and make sure you take a little time to recover too. It must be hard looking after two bubs at once!

Em, what is it with these nurses you guys keep getting?! Gosh that makes me mad. Like Mel says, do what you want. Autie is having 3 bottles a day plus a half during the night atm, and that's what she needs. I don't think 12m is too old for a bottle at all. for the banana!

Mel, for you too. Hope things pick up a bit for you and your whole family soon.

Hope things have calmed down for you V and well done on the pikelets! I can't really say what Autie has for dinner atm - she is going through a phase (that's what I choose to believe anyway LOL) Tonight was grated cheese and grated apple - everything else went over the side.

That's it I'm off to bed. Be smiley if you can
