Ok well I bit the bullet and went to the dr this arvo. As I suspected a preg test showed up negative. But even if I am pregnant this came as no surprise. With Jovi I did a test when I would have been 4 weeks pregnant and it showed negative. 2 weeks later when I started feeling a bit sick and nipples were hurting like hell it showed up positive straight away (as soon as the pee hit the stick ... lol). So dr has sent me off for blood tests. Have to take Scott to the hospital for physio on Friday so will do it then. Should find out sometime next week I guess.

The dr was funny ... she was like so what will you do? And I was like oh this would be totally unplanned and unexpected, but absolutely would keep the baby. Abortion so not an option! Yes unplanned, but never unloved or unwanted. She was cool about it.

I used to put a bit of farex in Jovi's bottles when she was first starting out cos she was too little for full on food, but needed to bulk up fast. A little farex goes a long way to help this.

As far as no cow's milk for first 12 months ... unless your baby's on soy or something like that, all formulas are cow milk based anyway ... so really they are already drinking it. I think they mean FULL cow's milk, like what we drink ourselves. Yoghurt does have some in it, but not like what we drink I wouldn't think. Anyway ... as long as they don't have a reaction I don't think there's a problem with it.
