[eliycsha]

hi ladies, its been a long time since ive posted on BB, a good 5 months or so.

Seth was born on the 23rd March, 9.20pm. 8lbs 4oz. he is now 14 weeks 3 days and as of a week ago (13w2d) he was 15 lbs 5 oz.

as of 4 weeks (when i had to switcvh to formula, my BM was not enough for him, alot of latching problems, so i started pumping and i wasnt getting enough for him, he was drinking 100 ml's at a week old!) he has slept through the night, he goes to bed around 10.30 and wakes around 8. so im very happy with that. he is a great baby, very happy. he has been having problems with teething but with bonjela and teething rings and when needed Nurofen he is fine

he has a website aswell sethdesmond - Seth Desmond Williams so go check him out, i have lote more images to upload but i've been lazy

gotta go its time for me to head to bed

Hi Girls. Just a quick one from me I got to get to bed!
Bec WOOHOO!! Cograts on getting some milk! I'm so glad that it is working for you! Yes I did go along to the meet up. It was ok. It was a little hard cos it seemed like some of the ladies already knew each other quite well and I felt a bit awkward....but it was good. Hopefully there will be another on a regular basis.
Melinda That's so great that you have hopefully discovered the cause of James' probs. I hope you can get it all cleared up nice and quick
eliycsha Welcome back! Seth sounds like a little champ - congrats!
Reenie I hope everyone is on the mend and feeling better.
Flynn and I are both heaps better. In the last couple of days he has really changed. He has started to grab at and hold anything we dangle in front of him and is shoving it into his mouth. Tonight after I got home from the gym I gave him a small bottle of EBM and he actually held onto the bottle - DH and I were shocked and just stared at him open mouthed!!! He seems to be way heavier too. I tell ya getting him out of the cot is worse than a dead-lift!
little woo hoo for me. I lost 1.2kgs this week! I'm so wrapped. Feel like I'm on the way to getting back to my 'old self'....as much as you can when you have a new bub!!
Hope you are all well.
Thanks for the pics too everyone...one day I will get round to sending some...Just so you all know I think Flynn is the best looking!!!

Hi girls. I have finally gotten around to updating my blog. Pics on there too. http://reeniescornerofthestar.blogspot.com/
WB Eli. Seth sounds like a little delight.
for Flynn holding the bottle. Seraya has been doing it as well on and off for the last 3 or so weeks. She has hands going everywhere. On the odd occasion she is sucking her dummy and if it starts coming out she will pop it back in!! So entertaining. She loves grabbing her danglies too and trying to put them in her mouth. SO far she has managed to do a couple of feeds holding onto the bottle for most of the time but, honestly I am sure she is not actually aware she is doing it. At this age, its still a natural reflex for them to hold onto things. It is nice to see though
Hope your BFing is going well Bec! A big hi to everyone else. And btw India is much better now. Home and well. She was on Redi Pred (prednisone) for a week so her excema is nowhere to be seen. It is so nice to see her skin so nice and clear. She looks so brown atm. I have taken pics of her and put them up on my blog too. I know it wont be long until her skin returns back to being dry and red. It really gets me down. There is still nothing I can do to make it go away. I can only keep it under control. Just hope she continues to grow out of it.
As for me being sick too. All I can say if any of you are fighting the cold off or getting sick. Take Garlic, Horseradish and Vitaman C tablets! With fenugreek and marshmallow (herb). By Natures Own. I have always suffered at the hands of a cold and flu for at least a week. Thanks to these great tablets, I have only suffered for 24-48 hours. I swear by them now.
Seraya has been teething for a month now and its starting to peak. She has been really whingy around 11-12 each night. Panadol and teething rings are working well for now. Just have to remind her grand parents to medicate her instead of just letting her cry in pain when babysitting.
Joy of being old and senile I guess.
Well hope you are well and beating the winter bugs.
