Babies Born March 2008 #4

[all girls]

Shell, is it donnalix or infants friend? sorry i have BAD baby brain at the moment so very vague and forgetful... Glad DJ is getting some relief so hard seeing them in pain. I will check out ACA to see you and Prama.

Danni, Summer loves getting out and about most of the time too. Not good on missing pudda cat.

Sumz had her 6 week check today, little chubba has put on 250g in a week. She is now 5kg bare, 59cm HC 38.8.

Off to get some cleaning finished....

Jazz has gained 140g in past week. Midwife discharged us from her care and is very happy with Jazz's progress.

She is sleeping in the fetal position on my chest at the moment so I'm typing one handed.

shell - it was great to see you again and little DJ.. sigh.. he's so cute. love his hair! cant wait to see him grow! it was good fun today. looking fwd to monday.
i went to the yoga class in concord, i liked it.. will try to go again. im so tired, running around. just about to have some lunch.

hi girls, yeah hopefully we'll be on ACA.

those in NSW, have you got bub's birth cert yet? We called and tehy said it will take 8 weeks!

[teachmum]

Well we had our 6 week check up today and all is well. Paddy piglet is what he's going to be called from now on! He went from 5200g to 5950g in two weeks, 58.5cm long, 39.5cm hc.

Got my GTT for diabetes tomorrow and will go back to dr next thurs for results and a pap smear (they finally got hold of me )

I'm going to try the post natal excercise class at my local hospital. I've lost so much weight (I had to be good thru my pregnancy coz I was on insulin) that everything is flabby and my stomach muscles are non existent. Another 15 to go and I'll be done!

Prama I got the birth certificate about 1 week after I sent it (in WA). Centrlink even rang to hassle me about finishing the paperwork off for the baby bonus. Never been paid so quickly in my life!

[danniellabella]

I just rang BD&M in SA to find out if I'm meant to get confirmation of some sort (I didn't apply for a birth cert). They said they used to send a letter with confirmation years ago but they don't anymore. A quick check of the system showed they have registered Jazz though, that's all I wanted to know.

Prama - yeah and I just found out Doni will be in Townsville on Monday so I can't drive down there Well I could drive down to the park but it is the lifting out of the pram in and out of my car doh!!! Too far to walk down as well....... I might have to start up the following week, shall see how I go...... At least we can motivate each other, I just have to stop talking so much haha

As for birth certificate have not received anything from BD&M either, and sent our form in the week I got home from hospital so not sure how long it takes, but someone told me it can take up to 7 weeks and I even ticked the urgent box.....

Trina - Donnalix haha I thought it said Infant Friend on the box but it says Infant Drops haha such a nutter I am. But the drops are working.

Teachmum - wow little Paddy is doing well on the weight gain, congrats. good luck for GTT test tomorrow. I am waiting to see my ob to see if I need to get another test done. The diabetes doctor said I should have another GTT to see that it has totally cleared though, but said I could wait a while on that....

My mum and brother move out on Saturday, as much as I have loved having my mother here to help out I can't wait to have the house back to normal. I am just going to miss her helping me out especially when I am doing the 5:30am feed half asleep and she nurses DJ back to sleep for me. Doni is away Mon-Wed so I think my mum will probably come and stay with me, not sure, since she will only just move into her new place.

We decided to order in tonight since it is just us tonight, mum is at my aunties place and my brother is working. Expecting delivery of thai food shortly yummmm so hungry just did some expressing.

Have a great night girls.

Shell - dont worry, if you drive there, I'll help get the pram out. ours is heavy about 10kgs. so I'm sure I'll be ok. hehe, if it's heavy, we can ask someone to give us a hand.
yeah, i have to stop talking too. haha. but it makes exercising easier. lol.
Sorry that your mum and bro and moving out, the help is great but it's also nice for you and Doni to have DJ all to yourselves. I was sad when my mum left, it was great with all the help. But now, the 3 of us feel like a little family and we have our routine going.

teach - hahaha, Paddy piglet. that's so cute and well done!

danni - great that you;ve been checked out!

NSW BDM must be pretty slow, else NSW-ers very active! LOL, they said there's been a baby boom so it's taking much longer to process.

[Beatrix]

I dont have my birth cert for little miss yet either. Its been about 3 weeks cause i sent if off while in hospt. apparently more babies have been born everywhere!!!

Well we got her weighed today and i am proud to say she has gained 240g in 6 days!!!! yay for the liquid gold!

Dani- hope all goes well with the paed

teach- thats a great gain!!!

Shell- enjoy having Dj all to yourslef!

[all girls]

Hehehe shell, i went and checked the bottle this morning when i read about infants friend my brain is mush this week..

Prama i sent Summer's birth details off in the first week and still haven't got anything. My mum is right into doing our family history and is always in contact with BDM and she has been waiting for some sort of certificate and they said she is going to have to wait months as there has been so many births in Jan Feb March and they take priority.

Teach, what a little chubba! are you feeding him burgers? hehehe. Wouldn't it be nice if all our weight left us as they put on... wishful thinking!!!

Cooked a nice baked dinner tonight, was pretty good, house is clean and washing is up to date, i feel like i have got on top of things again YAY!!! We are off to Sydney tomorrow so Summer can meet her Great Grandmother and a few other people.

Hope everyone gets some sleep tonight xoxoxox
