Well, I went out house hunting again today, yeah I know I'm supposed to be putting a flat up in my aunts backyard! Went to the main real estate in town and they have on the blackboard out the front 3 bedroom house for rent $145 per week!So, I go in and ask if there were any houses for rent and they said no!Apparently , that one went on Friday!!!!
Went to another real estate agent and they haven't had any for months!
On another note, took Pat to be weighed today( as per DHS's orders) and Pat is now up to 3.34kg, which is weird because he was only 3.1kg on Thursday and he has never put on that much weight!
Jack is supposed to be going on camp on Wednesday but last Saturday when he went to the Collingwood match with my aunt and his brother, he decided to wander off away from my aunt a couple of times and then started talking to strangers. I don't feel like sending him to camp just for them to say we are sorry but he wandered off. Now I know I sound neurotic but even if we ar ewalking into town he wanders off, something just has to catch his eye and he will go and check it out! Yeah, there will be teachers there but only two teachers for 20 students, Jack needs constant supervision! Now I'm rambling so I'll leave it here!
Lea, you mentioned buying another teat for Em as the ones you had he had to suck to get anything milk out. Which teat were you using? All the newborn or slow flow teats I have tried with cooper still seem to be too fast. I have been using a Haberman feeder and LOVE it, but at $30-$50 a bottle, I dont want to have to buy more. The Haberman is a teat that the baby has to suck to get milk out of and they are in control of the flow. I want a cheaper bottle with the same affect. Does that make sense?? I'm haven't come across any other brand that have a teat like that.
Bellasmum, firstly good luck with the househunting. Secondly, I see your point about Jack going on camp, but from a teachers point of view he will be fine. Although there may be only 1 teacher per 20 students, most camps have qualified organisers and so groups are reduced in numbers. Each group may have approx. 8 students which is easily managed. Some schools also take parent helpers along on camp to help in the groups. If Jacks school do this, perhaps you could request he is in a group with 2 aduklts, an extra pair of eyes and arms might be handy. I suggest you arrange a meeting with the camp co-ordinator and discuss your concerns. Camp is such a good experience for kids, I hate to see them miss out. Good luck with it all.
Kim, well done on getting Darcy to settle herself. Hope it continues. Cooper settles himself most of the time when I put him to bed, but Tony does things differently, so he probably gets confused. It saves so much time in your day when they settle themselves.
Cooper was weighed today by the MCHN and he is 5.49kgs!!! He is absolutly thriving and is spot on in everything such as length, weight, head size etc. So all good there. As for the constipation, I have been putting an extra 10ml of water into his bottles when I make them. I have also been massaging his belly and offering him water during the day. He is on the improve. I wont go into detail but things are better The nurse told me to keep doing what I have been doing and to avoid things like coloxyl drops if I can. I will see how he goes for another few days, if it isnt back to normal, then I will get the drops.
