Hello,

Mel- oh thats great yor v happy with the school you have chose for Chelsea sounds really good.

Had a fun and full on couple of days. my gf from melb came up with her 13m twin girls! it was so great to see them, they are at the age that Nixon was when we all seen each other last. amazing how fast hey grow! Anyway so between the 4 of them it was a mad house!

bf- happy to report all is still going well! Im using a nipple sheild, but dont even care he is getting the boob so happy with that. However i suspect another reflux baby on my hands. he is showing all the same signs as Nixon did. took him to gp this week who didnt wanna perscribe anything just yet but i know its reflux ive been down this rd before.
MCHN came again today and was so happy when i told her he was feeding! He lost 70g since last week so maybe a combo of just bf and the spewiness has contributed to that.
He is STILL a bit jaundice and im just a bit worried that its lingered on. so many ppl have checked and said yes he is a little but not too bad, but i would have tought after 5weeks it should be gone??

Tounge tie- gp agreed its slightly but not willing to do anything about it. Maya your right about having to shop around" he rekons they dont usually do it till later. i told him i know babies who have had it done early on but he told me to see my paed. well that paed didnt think anything either so dunno if i should persue anymore or not seings he is now feeding ok?

had the most difficult day today just going to the park! Nixon kept running off way to fr, trying to chase after him whilst feeding Tyron, it was hot nd sticky and flies galore, Nixon pooed, then he got a fat lip from trying to climb up the slipery dip, then Tyron wouldnt let me put him down, whilst Nixon tumbled down a steep hill and banged his head on the slip dip again so HOME we went lol!
but even once getting home it was full on until finaly at 3pm Tyron was content and i could have lunch.. ahh the joys.....

Rory - at least it must be nice and peaceful when you are up? The hot weather prob isn't helping either. Hope you manage ok next week when the scorcher days hit. Stay indoors and keep cool.

Jess - bet the kids have a ball at the zoo, its so fantastic now since they have done the renovations. Thats excellent news about Kate and her dad, I hope it continues to get better for both of them. You must have the patience of a saint to have 2 puppies + 6 kids! Good luck.

Tali - how funny, a school disco already! Did anyone dance? Thats so good that he is getting more confident and able to hang out with his friends. He prob knew you weren't far away if he needed you. Men are always jealous, funny how they freak out about things like that. Men can chat to women and vice versa without any funny business going on. He might be more sensitive than most being away alot.

Maya - you always have some very funny poo stories lol!!!! Coco might not have the nicest smelling breath for a while!

Nic - wow, having 4 kids in the house would have been fun. Bet they had a ball. Great news that the bf is still going well. At least with the reflux, you have been there before and know what to do. Don't know much about jaundice, did you ask your gp? Maybe you should try another paed regarding the tongue tie? Someone should listen to you. Your park day sounds like hard work, usually when one thing goes wrong, it all goes downhill from there. I am sure you next visit won't be so action packed!

Its been a very hot day today, hotter than expected. My air con is not working but hopefully the guy will be here Monday to fix it just in time for the real hot days. I have been spoilt for too long and hated not having it on today. The house is still very stuffy. We have lots of windows in the back of the house so it heats up pretty quickly. Was so unmotivated today so didn't do too much, Chelsea had swimming and that was it. Had to go shopping tonight for a b'day present as Chelsea has a party to go to tomorrow morning at a farm so that should be fun. Marley has been enjoying nudie time today and is obsessed with her belly and her belly button! She just wanders around patting it, looks very funny!

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

Hun if you are worried tell your GP that you want a LFT blood test done on Tyron. It might show that his blood levels are just a touch down and he might need a top up transfusion.
