    Oh Hollye, that's great that you got to have someone look at her. Tuesday seems a long way away when you need help and reassurance. It will be interesting to see what the paed has to say.

    HJ, CONGRATS ON THE ACCEPTED OFFER!!!!!!!! That's exciting! Hope your house sells soon.

    We finally got our Chrissy pres last night and i am typing at our brandnew Apple Mac as we speak (or, 'as i type' anyway ). DH insisted on changing the house around to accomodate it too, so we spent a few hours doing that last night.

    Gotta go, bubs groaning for food and probably trying to eat his fingers.

    Congrats on the house hj.
    Snoopea - I have been wanting to get rid of the carpet in the living area for ages and we had a few fleas so it was the perfect excuse. Our pets aren't even allowed inside but in this heat the bloody things must be breeding like anything so we ripped up the carpet, vacuumed everything, pressure cleaned the patio(where the pets sleep), washed and frontlined them and thankfully I haven't had one since. It was hard to because I didn't want to bomb or use chemicals so ripping up the carpet was the perfect excuse to convince DH. We will probably just get floating floor boards, it's pretty exciting though and a good chance for a cleanout.
    I ended up taking Olive to the doctors yesterday as she has still been not drinking properly and has had concentrated/smelly urine and not very wet nappies. They did a urine test which we should get back today and also wanted her to have a blood test. We decided to put off the blood test until we get the urine back. If that comes back negative and she is still the same we will take her to the hospital on the weekend to have it done. I don't want to put her through unecessary pain. The thing is that after saturday she doesn't really seem like a sick child. She is a bit off today but in general has been happy as larry. Will have to see what the results say.
    I got the electric breast pump yesterday so have been trying to get used to that.
    I feel kinda bad cause DH is looking after Olive at 2 so I can go and have a pedicure but i'm not sure I will be able to relax with all the stuff going on with Olive. It will be nice to do something on my own though as poor DH has been working lots lately.
    Anyway enjoy the rrest of you day ladies.

    OMG, my poor baby has a kidney infection! She must be in so much pain but has been so well behaved up until today except for the drinking and nappies so the nurse said I must have gotton onto it pretty early. I hope she hasn't inherited my kidney problems, I have hereditary kidney stones and get uti's quite regularly if i'm not careful. The doctors called today to go back in and put her on antibiotics and want her to have an ultrasound of her bladder and kidneys. Does anyone know if you can give 3mth olds pro-biotics? I forgot to ask chemist. So anyway needless to say that I had a pretty stressful day. Oh well back to bed, nite nite.

    Hi Girls,

    Olive'smummy - Poor little Olive, you must be so worried about her. The main thing is you found out early!!! I have no idea about the pro-biotics, sorry.

    HJ - Yay great news on the house. Hopefully it wont take long for you to sell your house.

    Tan - Are you back from MIL's yet? Hope you're well.

    Hollye - Hope Mia is ok. Can't wait to hear what the paed has to say.

    1st bub - Lucky you - new computer. I wouldnt mind a new one myself as well.

    Gotta go, hi to everyone I missed.
    Have a great weekend.

    Olivesmummy-I have heard that you can give pro-biotics but I'm not sure what form they are in (ie. liquid etc) definetly ask the chemist.

    Well we are also off to see the paed because of his eye, its still gunky and antibiotics and drops haven't fixed it. And its not fair for him to have it so off to the dr on Monday to get the referral.

    Sorry no time for personals, have a good weekend all!

    Hi girls!
    Olivesmummy - poor little Olive. What a tough little girl to not be showing too many signs of distress! Good that you were able to pick it up so quickly too. Sorry, i don't know about the probiotics either. How's the electric pump going? Liam's preferring bottles ATM so I'm going to have to do some pumping to keep up I think. I'm trying to give him as much booby as i can, but like the saying goes, 'you can lead a baby to booby, but you can't make him drink'! He'll be so relieved when i give up and just go to bottle, but i will persist!!!

    Hippiemummy - I hope the conjunctivitus clears up with the antiobiotics. Poor boy. It's such a yucky thing to have. But i s'pose that doesn't bother babies too much.

    HJ - how'd the open house go?

    Those who had c/s, how is your wound now? Mine is still not healing up completely and comes open just slightly (like a cut on your leg might, nothing major), which doesn't seem right to me at 3 months (Liam's 3 months old today!!! yay!!), but how would i know?!

    While I'm asking Q's, what sposies do people recommend? We'll be using them when we go down to Melbs in a few weeks as it'll be easier and lighter in packing. We used Huggies when he was newborn (with 'staining' poos ) but i wondered if there's any cheaper brands that are good as well? Umm, I'm assuming we would go for the 'crawlers' since he's about 6.3kg? Infant seems like it might nearly be too small?

    Hope you're all having a great day. Liam is sleeping up a storm right now and is 2 1/2 hours past his feed time. I keep checking but his chest is definitely rising and falling. (when do you stop panicking about that??!! ).
