    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??!! ).

    lol


    re nappies - yep crawlers. Thats what Mia is in (they are still a tad big) and shes only just coming up for 5.7 kilos. I found the infant ones got small quick and were too tight. I think thats y they come in smaller packets (huggies). as for nappies go. I have heard the new Sorbie ones are pretty good and they are cheaper than huggies. I have also heard the Aldi brand ones are good and Snugglers. HTH

    we brought a new car!! yay!! 2000 AU Ford Futura and its beautiful!

    2 more sleeps till Mia's appoinment yay!!!

    1stbub27 - The pump took a bit of getting used to actually. I had a really good Tommy Tippee manual pump but everyone convinced me to go electric now i'm kinda in 2 minds about it. I think the manual is quicker and not as harsh on the nipples but the electic is good cause you only need one hand and don't get RSI from the trigger action. My left breast has also decided that it doesn't want to be pumped at all anymore so am feeding off that side and hoping that my nipple doesn't get too sore.
    Hollye - Hope Mia's feeding gets sorted soon, it's been so worrying for me with Olive and thats only been for a week.
    Hi to everyone else. Have a lovely Sunday.

    Hollye - WOOOHOOO on the new car! What colour is it?

    1stBub27 - LOL - yeah i think u need some sleep too! as for the nappies - we use Huggies Bianca is still in the infant ones - she still has pleanty of room in them! which suxs cause u cant buy them in bulk - i have heard tho that the ALDI ones are really good - havent tried them yet - dont have a local ALDI -but if u try them let me know what u think!

    Olivesmummy - so sorry to hear about Olive's kidney prob! its great that u were onto it pretty quick tho - hope its nothing too bad!

    Hippie - poor bubba still havin the conjunctivitis - thats pretty yucky - are u massaging his eye area? when Bianca had a blocked tear duct that helped heaps along with saline - it might help with conjunctivitis also????

    Tan - hello out there - how are u going?

    Well thank you for asking everyone - the open house went i guess okay on sat - had 4ppl come thru 3 of which seemed intereset and asked questions - but no offers at this stage
    Im sure someone will buy it soon! hopefully!
    Bianca is doing well - she has been a bit grizzly lately and feeding every 2hrs?! must be having another growth spurt - but she never drinks the whole bottle - so not sure what the go is - she is watching us eat now days and making movements with her mouth as if she want some?! isnt she too young to be showing interest in solids?
