Fi - Thats a great gain, i can understand why you are so happy. heheh, yes send me a PM. It will be great to meet face to face
Stevie - awww hun i must say i do agree with Fi. I meet my mothers group all from here actually, and if it wasn't for there love and support, im not sure how i would have delt after losing Lilli. There are both pro's and cons for joining one, but in my experience its all been good. And no it didn't come across the wrong way, and thank you .
Tammie - For expressing, i was told always best to do it in the morning, as this is when your supply is the higgest. I do it after a nice warm shower, as this seems to help my let down happen more efficent. As for increasing supply, have you tried the lactation cookie recipe??
A big to everyone else.
AFM well Evangeline is a big 9wks old today. Wow thats gone fast. We had her weighed today aswell, 4.45kg, 54cm. So she's put on almost 1.5kg since birth, which means around 160gms a wk she is averaging. The HN said she is putting on the reccomended weight
Also i put 2 vids up on FB yesterday of her, hehehe, you girls have to look, she is a charcter aready lol.
fi and rach2281: i know DH is very controlling and i know it has to stop im going to apply myself more to fix this, as i said we have a few issues that need to be sorted, and i love that man so i will go to whatever length i need to to make him see he cant treat me the way he does, and if i cant make him see .. well then i dont want to say what will happen, i wont be bringing my baby up in that kind of environment, i know its "our" baby but if he loved me and Alissa enough he will change.
Thanks for the support tho guys, i know you all mean well
and dont worry rach, MIL is taking e to a mothers group when it begins again next year, she thinks its really important that i get out there and meet mums that are in the same boat as me, plus to get me out of the house.
well wish me luck guys, i am officially weening Ali onto formula (for the most part) i am going to try and keep a morning and night feed but ill see how i go. i know the engorgment isnt going to be mush fun so im not looking forward to that
but i have to go and feed the lizards, DH went and brought 2 new baby ones which means i have to go back to chopping up meat instead of just chucking a rat in there like the others do now bloody men....

Stevie - im here wishing you the best of luck. i hope my previous post didn't sound rude my DH use to be a bit of a control freak, but actually it was him talikng to his mates that changed that anyway im here if you ever need someone just to chat to
Rach: you didnt sound rude at all. Its nice to know you guys care enough to be honest with me.. even though i already knew what you guys were saying. lol.
Well im off at 10 to get Ali's 2 month needles done imnot looking forward to it a couple of friends of mine have said its a good idea to give her some panadol about half hour before she gets her needles, so this is what im going to do, it cant hurt can it?
Im also going to be getting her weighed, 2 weeks ago (which made her 6 weeks) she was 4.2kg and 56cm long. Ill update you guys when i get home.
just thought id update you ladies on how we went at the doctors today, my poor darling screamed her head off, i had to get MIL to hold her while she got them done while stoo by watching and bawling my eyes out (silly i know), the nurse kept telling me "she's ok, she needs this" and i kept saying " i know i just cant stand seeing her in pain" the she told me "she'll need you for all the hard times like these in her lives and you need to be there for her so harden up!"
i felt aweful and i still do that i couldnt hold my baby while she got her needles next time i will, and i wont cry
anyway on an upside, she now weighs 4.410 and is 57.5cm long, i think i have a long baby LOL.
anyway off to do some house work.

Stevie I think I am going to be exactly the same when Leila get's her needles which is next Tuesday, they want to do them at 6 weeks instead of 8 - maybe because it's xmas? Don't be too hard on yourself and don't listen to that silly nurse!! From what I have heard most mothers cry when their baby get their first needles so it sounds like you reacted in a very normal manner. Well done!
Aww stevie its sooo tough hey! When DS1 got his first needles i wanted to feed him as they did it and the nurse said no...broke my heart..everytime after that i fed him as he was getting it...instant comfort. Could you give her a bottle next time maybe?
Fi I would wait till after xmas beofre getting them done personally...but its up to you Its a hard desicion all this needle and vax stuff..Ds1 had all of his, but its still a hard choice.
Rach hope Jacks op went well.
Well my boof head is 6.2kgs! I am so shocked at how big he is! I think all the Mchn thought he was older than 5 weeks!
