    glad Ella is doing better KB!!
    Have fun partying today Hollo!!

    we've been haing a funny few days. my milk supply feels like its completely dwindled...Im hoping its more just that Susuie is growth spurting. shes draining both sides at every feed and by late avo/evening shes on there for an hour or more cause its just so slow! also had a 4am feed yesterday and a 5am one today. Im praying all this nursing boosts my supply back up a bit! gonna try having oats for breakfast too, read somewhere last night they help with milk production! She's still having heaps of wet nappies, she is just getting frustrated at working so hard! Hubby is sick atm too, has been all week and no sign of getting better. he's doing wat he can to help, kicked me out of the house for 1.5 hours yesterday which was nice! church is in 20 minutes but cause Susie been fussy (we think she may hAve a bit of the bug too) I dont want to take her...not that Im even showered and shes eating lol

    ugh sorry just had to 'blah' that all out!

    hi all,
    the party was great fun! hannah had such a good time. the weather was greta. its usually cold and windy this time of year but yesterday was on the warm to hot side! :-)

    MRsC- i think breastfed bubs just go through stages of feeding. sometimes they are feeding 3 hourly sometimes hourly. i just kinda think you gotta go with the flow. its not usual that you run out of supply (so i;m told) so you just have to perservere.

    having said that, i am very FRUSTRATED and tired. chelsea seems to be having one of those periods. last night she fed hourly and then woke up at 6am! but in between feeds she was so resltess and fidgety that i got hardly any sleep! i am just thinking to myself.. its a phase, its a phase, it will get better! LOL

    jitterbug- i hear ya on the hair thing.. chelsea is still a baldy. well she has a fine fuzz now and it is really light/gingery so from a distance she looks bald!

    i hear ya on the house cleaning thing too, i get so sick of doing the same chores everyday!

    we are going to the immunologist today to see if hannah is still allergic to egg. hope she has grown out of it!

    have a good day everyone

    Hollo happy birthday to Hannah & hope she grown out of her allergy to egg

    MrsC if you think your supply really is going down you can try taking Fengugreek to boost it, but i'd give it a couple of days to see if Susie settles easier.

    Ear infection is back, Ella is on some ear drops now, i feel like

    I wish i could take away her pain for her

    Also found out today my single unemployed sister is law who still lives with my MIL at home is booked in for IVF as she wants a baby, i dont know how to feel about it. She hasnt worked for years yet our system lets her go and have IVF, and then shell be on even more welfare. She is hoping for triplets, i think the whole thing is wrong but i like her as person and want to be supportive. Sorry for the vent

    Happy birthday to Hannah, has she grown out of her allergy to egg?

    just a quick update, Susue slept an 8 hour block again last night yay - cept i woke up at 5 and couldnt get back to sleep for ages rofl. but milk was back in so much she didnt even finish the first side at her first feed to back to normal yay! I have started haing oats for breakfast and made anzac cookie as I heard that can help as well but I think most of the credit goes to Susie's suckling!!

    Imogen is 5 months old today! Crazy to think about. Just one more month and she will have been here for half a year. 9 months will be an interesting milestone... longer out than in!

    Good to hear, MrsC.

    That's adorable, Mo! A little diva in the making

    Sorry to hear about Ella's ear infection, hope she is feeling better soon, kellbell.

    Glad the party went well, Hollo. Hope it is good news about the egg alergy.

    just quickly, hannah didnt have a reaction to this egg test. the doc said though to still wait a year until giving her pure egg because there is a range of reaction that the test doesnt pick up.. if that makes sense. but generally after a negative reaction to the skin pr*ck test they are good to go after a year! so YAY!
