Danni, hope Jazz is OK
Jade - bugger bout the furniture, hope this lot is OK
Just got an email back from the BBH lady, she does the same specials, so will pop to her house next week and grab a load of nappies.
Woo Hoo, will increase my stash so i dont have to was.
Jade although the initial out lay for fitted nappes is a lot for 3 kids, in the log run youwill save so much money as the younger two will grow into the covers and the OSFM will be used for all three which would be great for you.

Managed to get at least 3 hours sleep (a little broken) but at least it was 3 hours. trying to express at the moment and only managed 60ml. I have a feeling my milk has dropped off a bit today, so will keep expressing for the early morning feeds. I gave DJ 20ml top-up of formula this morning and wondering if that gave him an upset tummy. The formula I have is SD26 Alpha Gold, so it is a good one. I was just getting to the stage at 4am that I needed to get him settled and that was probably one thing I hadn't tried. I am just hoping I can get enough milk out for tonight so I don't have to resort to formula again in case that is what gave him an upset tummy. I left several messages with community nurse though and no luck, so I am going to turn up at baby clinic tomorrow and just tell the nurse I really need to see someone. It is just ridiculous that after 3 weeks I haven't even had a nurse come out to see me and the baby.
SJ - I have placed order with my BBH lady as well but she said because of sale that it may take 2 weeks to get order, but hopefully end of next week (fingers crossed). So frustrating having to wash them every single day.

Woops hit post and wasn't finished.
Danni - I hope Jazz is ok, I agree with Jade, take her to your doctor or the hospital, better to be safehas she been in contact with anyone with a cold or anything?
Jade - hope the furniture is ok once unpacked

danni - hope jazz is ok.. lakshman makes lots of noise in his sleep and he has mucous still. but the paed said the noises are ok, and he's fine. go get her checked, jic.
jade - you could use the fitted ones for all your kids cos they fit all sizes, better than AIO. you just need different size covers.
sj - hope DH is better now, you too.
bron - thanks.. lucky it was just excema, i was worried when paed said he has sensitive skin that it might be lupus....
shell - hope your milk builds up. for the first checkup, we werent contacted by the ECC, we just turned up at the centre.
i did something very stupid yesterday, i thought id try to feed Poopy without a nipple shield. It was at the end of the feed and thought by now my nipples would be better, so i gave him the nipple without the shield for the last couple of minutes. then they hurt so much, it was excrutiating. it was so painful all night, i had to take some panadol. i cant feed him on the right breast now, im feeding one side and expressing the other. giving him a bit more formula.
Today i tried the right side again with a nipple shield but its still so painful, damn, now feeding is taking even longer. cos i have to feed, formula and then express.. im so annoyed with myself, i just thought after 4 weeks it'd be better. im starting to get worried there might be some bad damage.
hi everyone else.

oh forgot to say re uploading pictures. i had some large pix, about 800k but managed to save them to a reduced resolution and got them to less than 100k. i have irfanview, you can download the viewer for free, just google irfanview. you can then choose to save it at different resolutions.

That's it, I'm not giving water to jazz anymore to help with wind. It does nothing initially but then a few hours later it gives her terrible dihorrea and makes her spew little bits of water.

I think i have a cold, my head is killing me i feel like i have a terrible hangover. Doesn't that suck! I hope my body is good and gets rid of it super quick..
We are going well here, still loving every second with Summer, i am so in love with her, she is growing so quick i wish there was a pause button to slow it down. Just feeling a bit down, my family and friends are so slack and it really gets to me sometimes.
Hope you are all having a good day, we are off to a mini fete at the school so hopefully the sun will stay out for a while, it is pretty windy and cold and some clouds are on their way.

Hi girls again, I still need to do a proper introhopefully a bit later tonight....
Just wanted to ask, anyone who is BF, are your bubs pooping ok? I ended up taking Jake to the drs today, he hasn't pooed since Monday! He never has been a great pooer, once every 3 days?? I only took him today 'cos he was teribly unsettled yesterday with tummy pains, but since is ok today. Dr said he was fine, not clogged up and that he is just in a minority of babies who don't poo much. Anyone else got the same thing happening?
Anyway I feel terrible for crashing with no intro, so will promise to get back in tonight and do one. Nice to see a few of you already in here from our old belly buddies thread

OH Jo, im sorry that i didnt say anything, was feeling so crappy this morning and didnt read the posts properly. I am glad that you had a great day and you got spoilt... Mark certianly earned some brownie points with the ipod!!!
Shell, got some gripe water today, gave it to Molly with her feed before popping her in bed, will see how she goes - she seemed tolike the flavour, which brand did you get, there seems to be a few out there, i bought the one that was alcohol free.
Becstar, Molly Jane can do 5 or 6 in a day and then miss a full day, she is more unsettled when she doesnt go too... hense the gripe water, infacol didnt work, infact i think that she was worse - althou she pooed more.
Apparently BF babies can go up to 8 days without a poo, they just use everything from the fed and only wee... i cant imagine what it would smell like after 8 days thou
Picked up 12 more BBH today and 6 covers (4 small and 2 med), i should be right for a while now!!!

Thanks SJ. I am dreading the poo when it comes......
Ok I made it back but am typing one handed so apologies in advance.....lol.
Well like Hayley I am from the 'other' March thread. Jake was born 2 days over his EDD after a S & S. We had an all natural drug-free 5 hour labour, no real complications to speak of. No tears or grazes. Even though Jake is no. 3 for me he is the first one I have BF, and BF was an issue in the past for me so I'm very stoked we have even made it this far. Feeding is going well now all the cracks and blisters have gone. At Jake's weigh in on Monday at 13 days he had almost made his BW back (weighed 3.075 at birth, was 3.06 at check up) so I was happy with that too! We are also doing the MCN thing this time around at the moment using prefolds. Apart from being still slightly jaundice and our 'poo' issue all is well! Jake is such an easy baby and the kids are having no problems adjusting. Almost makes me clucky for a fourth....Anyway thats about it for me, I don't seem to get on here as much as i would like and I am hopeless at learning and keeping up with everyone. It took me 9 months to learn everyone in our little half of March thread so this whole of March thread is onna take some real effort on my part! I look forward to getting to know you all.
