I forgot to say that Jesse slept through Tuesday night. He went to bed around 9.30 & slept til 6am.
Poor little mans got the flu now, so hardly slept last night.
& he's got another spot of eczema on his back. The first one hasn't gone away yet, so I'm trying to get to the doc to prove it wasn't ring worm & get him some ABs & maybe exzema cream. I have some here for Bri, but coz its cortizone cream I don't wanna put it on him unless a doc says its ok.
Don't you love my new ticker pic?? I only found it yesterday on SIL's pc & forgot I even took it.

I still haven't started Jazz on finger foods. Only today I've taken 2 lots of food to daycare to see if she's ready for 2 meals a day. I'm trying to put of finger foods for now, might wait another week until she's at 6 months. I'm not ready for her to have proper food yet.
We are participating in a nourish study about babies and all forms of feeding so there are 2 types of diaries I need to keep: One is to be done at daycare for food and drinks she has while not in mine or Matt's care, the other is on 2 specific days in our care. The people doing the study are meant to ring and tell me what days to do but I can only do Sat & Sun coz that's when I have her all day. They weighed and measured both Jazz & me yesterday. Jazz was 5.8kg when we were at the hospital a couple of weeks ago, now she's 6.3kg. Can't remember her length, but I got them to write it all in the blue book.
Matt's taking her for her 6 month check up & needles on Thursday. He's a bit nervous about having her for the whole day while I'm at work so I wouldn't be surprised if he rings me heaps. I told him that I think it would be a good idea if he gives her at least one meal of solids on the weekend so he knows what to expect on Thursday. I told him that it takes ages and even though it might seem like she's had enough, it doesn't always mean she has had enough. It'll be interesting and will really show if he's ready for us to drop 1-2 days of day care. He wants to drop some day care but he's not quite ready to take her yet.

Hi girls,
All good here, DJ seems to be on the end of his cold, only a few sniffles, seems to be worse in the morning or when it is cold at night, so just keeping him warm. Just gave him some lentils and vegetable puree and he loved it. I even loved it yummmm I got a fresh packet of organic ready made stuff to give it a go, no preservatives etc... Thought I would let him try before I go and make a big batch of it. At least I know he likes it. So, tomorrow I have to get some more baby cube trays for the freezer and get cooking kehehe I want to make a big batch of purees before I return to work next week.
Danni - I haven't introduced finger foods yet either, I find the purees easier at the moment. I am too scared of him choking on it..... Might give it a go tomorrow with a stick of brocoli.
Skye - poor Jesse and Jazhope they get better soon
Well back to DJ have a nice night girls.

skye - poor jessedid the gp prescribe anything?
shell - not sure about going to fairfield on monday.. it's been a long week already....
glad dj is feeling better...
poopy was clingy cos of his needles.. he seems better today. mil said today, his gums feel harder now than they did befoe we went OS so he should be teething soon.
he's also started to spit with a vengence. this morning he spat his breakfast at me and i was splattered in yogurt. he didnt mind it, he ate it all up, but he does that spitting thing on and off, eating and not eating.
i'm going to wait for finger food. next week, im going to see how mashed food go. im going start fish as well. MIL makes really yummy soup, so when i go next week, we're going to give him some vegie soon, it'll have onion and garlic and all.
i also got some low salt stock, im going to try to cook chicken in it and blend it up.
im so exhausted. poopy;s having 3 solids now. im just finding it's taking so much more time. i was late going to the mcn so didnt have time to see the nurse cos i had to go to the osteo. he had a bf in the morning, then some vaalia yogurt w banana. i left him w mil when i went to the osteo. he had a milk there. got home, gave him some lunch, then bf.
we went out to get his car seat, we got a maxi rider AHR at babies galore at 10%off. then gave him his dinner and then milk.
I just feel im constantly feeding him.. it's exhausting. and i find i have to now get ready an extra hour earlier than before if i want to give him solids and milk.
instead of 4,5 meals before now it's 8 meals a day.
sorry im having a really down day..
my lupus is getting me down and tired and worn out.
the osteo said some of my lumbars aren't working very well, and there's hardly any reflex in my left foot. my feet are over compensating.... basically my back is buggered, and everything's on my foot.
he said something must have gone wrong during my development days.
time for beddy byes.. i'm sorry this is a whinge post...

I don't think I will make Fairfield City Farm either, taking DJ to Gymbaroo on Monday and I think i will be meeting a friend that I haven't seen in years as well.....
Argh immunisations..... DJ is due his in next few weeks as well, not looking forward to it.
Wow that sounds like alot of work.... I am giving DJ two solid meals per day (rice porridge and vege puree of some kind) but he still is only having around 5 teaspoons so not large amounts. With his formula feeds he is still having 6 feeds per day, and drinks around 140-180ml each time. All depends. He is definitely getting hungrier.
My back is also stuffed from pregnancy. I have to see my osteopath as well, my knees and ankles are stuffed and figured out it is because my back, hips etc are all out of wack. Hope you feel better sweetie.
Hope you get some good rest tonight. You need to rest up. If you can, try to get a sleep while Poopy is sleeping, even if it is only 20 mins. You need to make sure you take care of yourself.

Maybe he is getting a tooth?? DJ still hasn't got his first tooth and has been teething for almost 2 months now.... ahhh the joys.... But it could possibly be a tooth, is he showing any of the signs that he might be getting one?
Oh the Syd meet-up I might be able to come along with DJ depends on the time. Couldn't find a time on that discussion..... I am taking DJ to Gymbaroo for the first time on Monday so could go there afterwards depending on the time everyone was going.... Are you going?
Hope all goes well with MCN and osteo.... which reminds me I have to book in to see MCN as well...and the osteo.

Just got back from the gp. Jesse has a viral rash called pityriasis rosea.
It's wierd coz Jaz has a viral rash as well. Molloscum contagiosum. Jesse's look like ring worm/eczema & are not contagious. It will run its course in 6 - 12 weeks, Jaz's look like little skin tags & are only contagious in warm water, but will last anywhere from 6 - 18 months.
I think its odd that they both have these viral skin contitions, but they are so different.
The gp wasn't too worried though.
