Hi and Welcome Tania! My name's Beck and my hubby Scott and i have been married since March 2005, been together since 1st Jan 2000 (we met on NYE). Our gorgeous little girl, Jovi Lee, was born 4 May.
After a few false starts with weight and switching from breast to bottle, Jovi is finally putting on weight. She's been wearing her 000 jumpsuits since June long weekend basically. I think she should be in them for another month or so yet. Shirts and jumpers she still wears 0000 as all the ones we have seem really big. And all the 000 ones seem like they should be 00 at least. Sizings are stupid.
Last night was exciting ... Scott decided that he wanted to go to the hospital for some pain killers or something (he has a bad back ... bulging disc + other stuff going on). We got there about 6:45pm. By 9:20ish I'd had enough and asked how much longer (by this stage, everyone that was there before us had gone in and all of a sudden someone skipped ahead ... not impressed). We were told that there were 3-4 ahead of us (WTF!!) and that it would be a while longer. Low and behold however 5 minutes later they called Scott. Bloody idiots! He ended up getting some pain killers and I tried to get him an appointment with the specialist, but he has to wait until 6 Sept! totally insane ... not to mention the $150 fee he charges!! Better be medicare rebated! Luckily Jovi behaved really well at the hospital all night. Slept half the time, did a dirty nappy which wasn't fun as we didn't have any disposables handy and she had on the cloth ones (which she would normally wear anyway, but we chuck her in disposables if we go down the street etc). Luckily the poo was fairly contained to the liner and didn't actually get on the nappy much ... would've been a stick-fest then ... lol
Well, she may have behaved at the hospital but once we got home around 10 is was time for her LAST bottle before bed. But of course she decided to be difficult and didn't go back to sleep. Ended up it was 1:30am, she wanted another bottle and then I think we got to bed around 2-2:30am. Not fun people! Granted we didn't get up till 10am, but I think that's fair enough! lol ...
She's feeding really well ... yesterday she had a couple of big bottles ... we had only been making up 150ml but twice yesterday she wanted more ... her bottle around 3ish ... she ended up drinking 240ml the little piggy! then she drank a full 150ml before we went to the hospital and another 180ml when we got home. So today I ended up making her 180ml and she's drank all her bottles today, except the first one, but she had half. Although its not surprising considering what she had yesterday! lol
She's even had a taste of food this week! Tried her with a little of Farex ... I think she likes it but it doesn't have much taste and she's not quite sure what she thinks of it. She rolls it around and around her tongue ... so funny ... and yesterday I was eating a honey sandwich, so I stuck my finger in it and stuck it in her mouth ... she loved it! She instantly started laughing and smiling ... I think she's got a bit of a sweet "tooth" lol
She also had her first shower yesterday (I was waiting till she had a bit more meat on her and was easier to hold) ... she looked a little confused but she didn't cry and seemed to enjoy herself. Was actually much easier for me to wash her and her hair. Once her feet hit the water in the bath she's off and wriggling and tries to swim away and kicks like crazy. Bath time is hard on mummy, but she absolutely loves it!
Well ... that's about it and I really should be in bed! She's been a sleep for a few hours and one wonders why I never go to bed when she does! lol Will definitely have to next week WHEN I GO BACK TO WORK! I'm so going to miss not being able to jump back into bed if I want to ...
