Shell - you poor thing hun, and poor little Angus, I hope he is feeling better soon and the gastro pops do their trick ... I can't believe how much weight he has lost, you must be beside yourself. Hope your hand isn't hurting too much babe. I had a wire/pin (k wire) put in mine but it was the bone on the side of my hand near my pinky to my wrist and it was a twisted fracture so I guess the pin stabilised it while it healed. Nice. It still hurts now at times when I get cold.

Sarah - so good to hear from you hun -off to check pics!

Hi everyone! Izzy still has a bit of runny poop and if it keeps up til Friday I have to take her back to the Dr. She was also up from 2:30 til 5 last night Not too sick, just wide awake - tried to bring her in with me but she just kept playing with my hair and the bedhead and generally driving me nuts and I knew she wasn't sick and awake - just awake so I put her back to bed and spent 2 hours going in and out! Ugh - she finally went back to sleep until 730 and is currently napping so fingers crossed she is on the improve.

Im FINALLY getting some little flutters - cheeky man is as bad as Izzy, I didn't get anything until 21 weeks with her too!
Right Im off to look at some stuff a girl at MG wants to sell on ebay but is giving me first dibs - lots of tiny boys stuff! WHoo hoo! Have a great day ladies!

Hello!

I'm sorry its been so long between posts, I do try and pop in from every now and again but by the time I read through all the posts, I just don't have time to actually do one myself!! I'm going to try a little bit harder though coz I think about all of you regularly - especially over the last month or so, just thinking about this time last year!!! Its quite amazing. So.....

Happy Birthday to all our bubs that have turned 1 and in case I don't get time to post again soon, Happy Birthday to those that are coming up soon!!!

Lulu - You are such an inspiration!!! Congratulations on the birth of Elena!! It sounds like all is going well so far. I can't imagine!! Keep up the great work!!

Well all is going well with us. Luke had his birthday last week and we had a lovely party on Sunday. He got spoilt rotten and certainly slept well that night!!! I took him for his immunisations today too. He was extremely brave, only cried for a few seconds. I'm praying we don't get a reaction but we'll wait and see.

Sounds like the gastro bug has been going around - Luke's had the runs for the last couple of days, its absolutely disgusting and keeps bursting out of his nappy. I'm so sick of getting poo everywhere!!!! At least he's not vomitting aswell, so I should consider myself lucky. He seems happy though, so who knows whats going on. He's been sleeping soooo well too, although morning seems to be getting earlier and earlier. It ranges between 5am and 6am. He always wakes around 4am and goes back to sleep and if I'm really lucky he'll stay asleep until 6.30am. Its just too early but it could be worse.

Anyway must go. Take care everyone - I miss you all!!

Hi everyone!!
Kelly - good to hear from you, glad Luke had a great birthday
Tan - gotta love looking at baby clothes again!! Boys clothes are cute!!
Hi Sarah!! Photos look great, glad you are enjoying yourself
Sangie - we switched Ethyn to full time cows milk as of yesterday, we did the whole weaning of formula, had a big day yesterday, first day of cows milk, and I decided that I wasn't going to steralise his bottles anymore. Ethyn didn't have his lunch bottle today, and hubby said he wasn't interested as he was too busy sleeping today!!!
Shelle - That would have been scary, glad it all worked out in the end, you can never be too careful, they dehydrate so quickly don't they.
Lulu - how's things going hun? How is being a mother of 2 is treating you.
A big HI to everyone I have missed!!
Ethyn is going back to child care tomorrow, I had to go to work today to do pays, so hubby had today off with him. He had 2 solid poos so its all good to go back. I spoke to childcare today, they had to send 2 kids home this morning as they had the runs again, what annoys me most is that these parents send their kids to childcare, probably knowing that their kid is sick, but think that child care can look after them, therefore all the other kids get sick!!
Still trying to sort out the food for Ethyn's birthday, just want to do things like little pies and pasties and the like and just some small desserts.
Have a great night everyone xoxo

Quick one here - WB Kelly! Glad you and Luke are doing well!!

We had our MCHN appointment today - Isabelle is such a little lightweight!! She is 8820gms and 75 cms tall! So she is in the 50th percentile for height and 25th for weight! Doesn't help that she has been sick and off her food. After chatting to the nurse too, I've decided to keep her on toddler formula for a few months, instead of cows milk because she is such a small and fussy eater and at least that way I will know she is getting some vitamins that she needs. She has 3 x 200mls bottles right now and she also suggested we cut one bottle out as she might be filling up on milk and that may be why she doesn't eat so much - arrgghhh so hard to know what to do but I think we will cut out her lunch bottle!
Have a great day ladies, I'm off to work!

Michelle - how's Angus today? Poor little man.

Kelly - good to hear from you and glad everything is going so well with Luke. God I would kill myself with 5am wake ups!! Hopefully with the colder mornings Luke will snuggle under his blankets and sleep a bit longer for you.

Tan - YAY for little boy movements. Its the best isn't it? You forget how magical they are. Hopefully he will give you just enough to keep you happy and reassured but not so many as Elena gave me - she was savage!! I felt like she was kicking her way out a lot of the time. It must be the name - my Izzy is 20th percentile for weight but 70th percentile for height so she's a little stringbean. As my mum says though, she's perfectly healthy and at least weighing less she is soooo much easier to carry around and play with.

Lee - I'm glad Ethan is a bit better. Hope things go well for his birthday party. Very annoying about the other kids at childcare. I guess some parents are a bit stuck if their kids aren't in care, but that's no excuse for sending sick kids off with other kids.

Lis - I'm not changing Izzy over yet. The paed who checked Elena in hospital talked to us about Izzy's food intolerances and switching to cow's milk and his suggestion was to keep her on formula until she was maybe 18 months before even considering trying cow's milk. He has a child himself who is lactose intolerant and says his son just lives on soy products.

Izzy is finally starting to feel better after her vaccinations so that's good. She's adjusting well to Elena and is so interested in her - although a little violent in that interest at times!! I don't want to wish time away, but I can't wait for a few months down the track when I can see my girls playing with each other. Anyway, better go. Elena needs a feed (again!) and Izzy needs to go to bed.

Have a good day everyone (sorry to all I've missed), and I hope all those gorgeous bubbies are better very soon.

Another quick one!

We have decided to start introducing cows milk slowly into Elena's formula bottles and see how we go! We also went to MCHN today and Ellie is 75cm (same as your Izzy Tan!) and a chunky 10.4kg lol! So yep I think you can all tell that she loves her food! We have successfully dropped her afternoon bottle which is great so now we are on one in morning and one in evening and I replaced the afternoon one with small snack. So hard to know what to do sometimes but its pretty clear that my little princess won't starve in a hurry lol!

Sorry for totally selfish post, gotta rush to pick up my car, hope all the little ones are feeling better!
