Well Jovie had a very bad afternoon. She kept screaming poor sausage. I took her to the neighbours house so I could go to the loo and start dinner and came back 10 minutes later & she was still screaming her head off. Luckily I didn't leave her there longer... Then we came home & had dinner & things settled. Whew!!!
Everyone here has gastro, except me DH and evie - she's been a bit chucky today but nothing much and is happy otherwise.
What do you guys give bubby for lunch? i'm really struggling for ideas! and breakfast actually. she doesnt seem to want to eat anything in the morning anymore.
She's maybe having 1-2 big bf a day and otherwise its just a quick slurp here and there so i'm worrying she's not getting enough to eat.
Chelsea has a 38.4 deg temp here, red face, grouchy..but on a good note now drinking formula. Coles had run out of the normal Karicare follow on so Craig got the Gold one.. and she gulps it down so fast... 220ml every bottle again.
Breakfast...we dont have that...lunch....fruit gel/custard/yoghurt and sometimes fresh fruit. Dont really have lunch either. Dinner is the only 'meal' we have. So what ever we are having plus either yoghurt/custard/fruit gel....what ever she hasnt had during the day.
Also has water all day plus sometimes a rusk or just plain biscuits.
Any how.. must fly... poor chicken just isnt well, just dosed up on Nurofen for the night.
For breakfast we have pured fruit (either apple or pear) and toast or oatmeal.
We have morning tea - which can be banana bread/ cheese and then at lunch we have vegie/noodles with chicken. Sometimes vegemite and bread.
Afternoon tea Ella has yogurt, custard or gel. And dinner is pasta, casserole, noodles anything, followed by some fruit.
Lunch and dinner is similar sometimes that same She doesnt mind.
Tonight i made some Salmon with potato and broccoli with white sauce. DH made some beef mince pasta. She'll have that for the next week for dinner.
Tomorrow I'll make some little banana muffins for her (since she loves eating our banana bread) and she can have some for afternoon tea.
She ate so much tonight i was scary. A whole small bowl of pasta and then a tub of Golbourn Valley pured fruit. Followed by a big breastfeed - Dunno why she's losing weight.
sophie has just decided to eat brekky in the past few weeks,
usually weetbix with either milk or yesterday it was weetbix with mashed banana, apricot porriage
lunch i find hard too, yesterday it was tinned spagetti friday was avocado and couscous, avocado and tuna
dinner i made up heaps of stuff the other day, apricot chicken, mixed vegies, coucous, pasta, mince, mince stirfry, spag bol. all frozen in cubes,
snacks are fruit, she loves kiwi fruit, cheese sticks and friday i made my usualy pureed apple and pear and also did rhubarb so she has apple and rhubarb, custard and fruit, yogurt

wow, what excellent neighbours you must have, to be able to get them to mind your ratbag while you go to the loo - that's wonderful
bilby is still thriving on breastmilk, pureed fruit with banana custard once a day - and that's it! compared to all the other babies, it would appear i have her on starvation rations, but it's all i can get her to eat!
i have caught her doing a bit of forward crawling, it was in a big empty room at a community centre, so now i think it's environmental. at home, where we're cramped, and there are no big empty areas of floor, all she does if pull herself up to standing against sofa, coffee table etc. I think if i put her down in empty spaces (like at the community centre) she would be crawling alot sooner.
still won't let anyone see her two fangs. bit me early thismorning, i screamed with pain, thoguht she would cry at my scream, but to my surprise, she didn't! i couldn't help it, she bit me really hard!
took me a while to find this thread again, i am hopeless at remembering the password too, but i like it when i find this thread again and hear what you're all up to with your bubs. Sorry to hear so many unwell. Hope Chelsea's temp goes down soon Kimbaz! fingers crossed.
My chest is about to explode, so i'm off to perform Milkbar Duty! ha ha.
thanks for lunch advice. i'm a bad eater so i really dont want evie to get into the habit of skipping meals!
AF returns with a vengeance...endometriosis obviously still a prob for me. i havent been in this much pain since labour! going to retire now with hotwater bottle and movie with dh
happy fathers day too
Meals - Jake has breakfast of 1 1/2 weetbix with apple and prunes, toast and sultanas; morning tea is usually a pear and some dried fruit and a few crackers; lunch toast fruit and yoghurt; afternoon tea usually fruit or some crackers; and dinner he is only eating jars atm so a big jar of food yoghurt and fruit. Yes he eats a lot of fruit as he has decided that it is one o the few food groups he will eat atm!
How was the weekends? Our was lovely! We had a father's day picnic at Roma St Parklands (so I could check it out for Thursday) and Jake has gone back to only waking once the past 2 nights. I had a baking fest (lots of over-ripe bananas) yesterday morning and arvo and made some banana bread and Jake loves it! Also made a sour cream banana cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting and vanilla cream cheese frosting and sliced bananas in the middle! Yum!!! DH has decided he needs to go on a diet so is kick starting it with that celebrity slim drink, and can't eat any of wht I baked so I distributed it to my neighbors last night.
Tara if you lived closer I would drop some into you! Jols I am feeling for you - we have a weekend wedding in a few weeks and Jake is staying here with his nana who is flying up from sydney to watch him - my bbs will be humongus!! However I have bought some "Lilypadz" from Christy's mcn party and they are latex breat pads. They don't absorb rather they put pressure on your nipple to prevent let down - tested them on the weekend and they work!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope all are well - sorry not many personals am too far behind the ball!
Oh and if you are interested.....
We are still meeting at the Roma Street Parklands on Thursday however after checking it out on the weekend it will be easier for those using public transport to meet at the "celebration Lawn" rather than the ampitheatre. This is the first & main flat grassed area you come to. There is a stage area and I will be there with balloons on my pram! Once we've met up we'll move to the next grassed area over, under the walkway, called the Forest Meadow near the Lake Precinct. You'll see the balloons on my pram. There is a map available on the Roma St Parklands website.
So details again -
Thursday 6th September 11am
Roma Street Parklands,
Celebration Lawn
meet at the stage and we will move to the next lawn over, under the walkway, where there are lots of trees and shade
BYO picnic blanket etc
PM me if you want my mobile number for contact if you get lost etc.

: meet up details
morning... sorry feeling extremely flat at the moment. think everything is catching up on me and the smile I have had plastered to my head is cracking.
nelly I won't be coming on Thursday - Friday is a public holiday in Noosa, and we are going to stay at a resort on Friday, so I will be spending the day cleaning my house, and getting the various bits and pieces I have to get ready to take (gone are the days where I can chuck some clothes in a bag and head out the door!!) I'm disappointed that I can't make it, but know that with everything else I am doing this week, something has to go... plus because I'm feeling so crap at the moment, I'm not that good company. I hope that it is a good day - maybe I can go to the next one. Feel bad because it was my bloody suggestion to have a meet there. sorry.
god how much I would love to go back to bed and pull the covers up over my head.
Still sick here. Chelsea was up most of the night....im ready to explode. Craig is a zombie too. Going to the doctors today when she wakes up more then likely. Something is not righ about my lil girl.
I have had really painful bb's today, really lumpy & horrible. I don't have a temp yet but this arvo I'm starting to feel like someone's wrapping a towel around my head... make sense? just dampened & congested. I keep taking my temp, and massaging my bb's and taking hot showers and feeding Jovie as much as I can.... *please no mastitis!!!*
