    Hi Girls,

    Happy Easter, hope you all have a nice day. I am home with my 2 girls coz DH is at work so I have been trying to do house work. I am so sick of doing house work!!!

    OM - Poor Olive, hope she gets better soon. You must've freaked out when you heard thats what she had.

    Didi - When is Jorda's MRI? I hope everything will be ok. Happy Birthday for yesterday, hope you had a nice day/night.

    I haven't turned Lara's carseat around yet either. I'll be waiting a while yet, even though it is easier to put them in forward facing. I also haven't started her on solids yet either, I'll wait until she is 6 months. Lara goes to sleep around 8:30pm - 9pm at night and usually sleeps anywhere from 7am - 8:30am but for the last few days she has been waking at 5:30am. I know its still a good sleep but its driving me nuts. Most times I put her dummy back in and she goes back to sleep but other times I have to give her her bottle. Still no teeth but she has a very swollen gum and a bit of a cold so not sure if her bottom tooth is on its way.

    Gosh DD1 is driving me nuts already harping on me for Easter eggs. I haven't had any yet but its very tempting but I am trying to be good. Havent done any exercise since Fri though.

    Gotta go, hi to everyone else!

    hrrmmm this teething thing gets a tad confusing doesnt it. I spose we wont know they are actually "teething" until they cut a tooth. Hopefully sooner rather than later..

    I know what you mean Hollye. Lara is my 2nd baby but DD1 never had any problems with teething at all. They'd all just come through without them even giving her any discomfort. I hope Lara is the same.

    Na never heard of them.

    Leigh-Hope you had a nice easter with the kiddies!

    Amanada thanks for the birthday wish!! Enjoy the hotcross buns!! Only comes once a year!

    Starrsky- WELL done on b-feeding for so long!! Be proud!! I so wish i could have with J, I would have waited as well to turn J around in the car, but she HATES lying down.. was absoltuly impossible to go anywhere with her in the car,, and staying sane is kinda worth it.

    1stbub27-Hope you had a nice easter with family etc.. and relaxed!

    Olivemummy- I see the pead this week again and go from there, we are also seeing a specialist for her throwing up all the time, but when babies put on weight even though they throw up lots they dont seem to be too concerned.. its only if they are not putting on weight.. So i am not too concered.


    Anyone else i missed sorry!! Hope easter is fun fun fun!

    Hi everyone, HAPPY EASTER

    Just a quick update as Olive is finally asleep. Well we spent most of the day at the hospital. Olive is still the same and so we went in to see if we could see a pead and find some answers. They basically said that we need to take it day by day and that Olive could be sick for another 3-4weeks yet. She also wants us to get tested incase we are carrying the bug and said that she doesn't want ot put Olive on AB. WE just have to see how she goes. I know we should feel lucky compared to some other illnesses parents go through but this is so stressful. Olive just cried and grizzled for our whole easter dinner thingy with my parents then we got home and she did her worst diarrhoea yet. So we had a bath etc but I am so tired of having a sick baby and I imagine she has had JS of it too. My supply has dropped to almost nothing due to strss so will probably start to wean now. I also don't know what will happen with work as Olive can't go to day care while she is infectious and not sure if I can either until I have been cleared. Arggg, it's times like this I miss having a ciggie!!! I had one wine at the dinner and man it was nice plus I have had way too much chololate today.

    Olive's carseat has been turned around in mums car but haven't turned it in my car yet. She is fine with both.

    Oh OM, this must be so hard for u. She hasnt been well for weeks now. AS much as u may feel like the worst mother right now and that its ur fault, its not. These babies are fast little critters, Mia puts everything in her mouth so she would have been right along side Olive licking the floor. I researched it abit before and seen there isnt much u can do for it. ALot of docs say antibiotics can make it worse but help it from spreading. Im sending huge amounts of healing vibes ur way xoxoxoxoxox


    Whats everyones bubs doing with their food in relation to solids and bottles? Mia is having 2 solid meals a day and 5 bottles of about 100-180mls. She had risotto with vegies tonight, loved it
