**tiggerandpooh** · May 15th, 2008, 11:39 AM

oh babe - that suxs I hope that it come backs clear for you hun. I had to have th two hour test, and have to have in annually now because I did have GD with aston. when are you having the test?

**visitor1** · May 15th, 2008, 12:00 PM

Mine with Chelsea was high so had the 2 hour test and was no worries....and Jasmine was perfect first go but also had low iron levels.

Chelsea spewed on way to care today...and i had packed her spare clothes..BUT they were Jasmines....not a good morning!

**taralee** · May 15th, 2008, 12:09 PM

Poor Chelsea! Will the spewing never end?

My glucose levels were high with evie too but were fine after the second test, which i'm sure will be the case this time too. my mum's coming over from perth on saturday for the week so i'll probably do the tests after she leaves. the midwife said to get the tests done whenever i get around to it, so they cant be too concerned
I wish i had my own private chef

**Olive** · May 15th, 2008, 02:37 PM

**luua** · May 15th, 2008, 07:58 PM

Big hugs kim. Take your time out see you soon.

Blanche - how is jack going with the sleeping thing? He looks so adorable in that photo. Glad the BGing is going well.

Ella got the bottle out of the cupboard today and i gave her some milk in it. Remember about 10months ago when we tried and tried and tried to give her the bottle well today she drank it all in one go!

She seems like she's really into the bottle but I'm not sure if i should introduce it now. Esp coz she's drinking from a cup by herself. Maybe its a novelty thing.

Hi everyone!
