Hollye - seems mia has been talking to E as you well know lol
I have decided that as long as he is putting on weight and developing normally (milestones) then he will sort his feeds out (even if i end up wearing half of it everytime!)

If worried though talk to your dr. Did you end up changing your formula the last week or 2?

new thread!

ive decided that if i dont care too much then i'll prolly b happier. I know he's tryin but sometimes its very frustrating, esp when he gets angry...hes the type that will say ANYTHING when angry. it hurts so much when he says baby & i are nothing. i can only hope for the best

i figured what missing frm dragons wardrobe: a hat! will try find one when i go to the shops today, swingin by the library to grab some picture books too

bit quiet ard here these few days...

nah PP shes been on s-26 for a while now. The only thing that has changed is shes not on the AR one anymore as i found it was making it hard for her to bring up wind coz it was so thick. She had another bottle at 10:30 and had 120mls.. so thats abit better. ill just go with the flow with her.. she surley doesnt look like shes underfed!!! lol..

MY bday tomorrow!! i think Matts getting my pressie tonight! woohooo!!!

[PinkPalace]

Very cute kat!

Teru - its a shame because you should care and you should be happy. Such a hard situation hun.. big hugs
As for hats i am a hat fanatic lol. DD has soooo many and DS is slowly building his collection ha!

Hollye -- do you know what it is?

[amy_o]

With everything that has happened in the last few weeks I almost forgot that Monday was a big day here.....

OUR 2ND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!!!

[1MOREPLZ]

congrats amy _o!!!!!
oooo 2morrow..21!!! OMG that was 10 yrs ago for me i am soo old

[PinkPalace]

congrats amy!
Did you do anything special?
I had 1 baby before my 1st and was 6 months pregnant before my 2nd year... so no partying for us! blah lol... maybe this year for no.3 anniversary we may get to go out!

p.s ... where are those measurements girl!! or if you like, tell me what size clothes she is in if that is easier and it will give me an idea of her size, they will be elastic anyhoo so they will stretch

I found some pink denim! lol i will see what cute ones i can make with them!!! (need to check i have strong enough needles first... cant remember what i have )... they will be flat rather than bloomers though!

[1MOREPLZ]

pp what are u sewing up??

[PinkPalace]

lol kat - Amy needs some bloomers for her little girl to go over her sposies so i am going to whip her up a few!

[SamiH]

Hollye - belfie is/was in Tassie visiting family
Happy early birthday lol

Must be the month, my wedding anniversary on Sunday - pretty sure that was the day we conceived last year too !!!!

Zanders poo was back to light brown again this morning so all is good. Yeah PP I was keeping to the one boob - but I think the extra feeds initially gave his bowels a kick start.

I dont mind 4am feeds, I don't sleep solidly anyway - but anythign later than that I hate cos it is so hard to get up - am loving school holidays for that reason though - other 2 are usually up sometime around 7 and they can now turn the TV on and watch some cartoons so I don't get up until DH goes to work or Zander stirs, DH will get them some brekky is Zander and I are still in bed hehehehe.

I ahve got the cant be bothereds today - gunna have a coffee

[PinkPalace]

lol samih! i love the 'got the couldnt be bothered lol:'

Yep both kidlets are sleeping so i am bludging... just made spinanch and ricotta pie for dinner.. mmm pie! and had lunch so now i am chillin.

E will wake soon for a feed then i am going to watch wedding singer after the 'movies that make you cry' thread ! ha

[belfie]

I'm baaaaack! Clothes unpacked, washing on... yay nice to be home!

Long story short - lovely trip, DH nearly went insane from dealing with his IL's, but I had a great time . X skin VERY dry but resolved in the end, plus very congested/snorty... off to see paed tomorrow (good timing) and I think he's got baby asthma (whatever that's known as)... but he did great on the plane again (phew!) and vaporiser hired at 10pm last night worked wonders (as well as sleeping in stroller slightly upright) - he was choking on mucous lying flat... not a happy camper at all! But he's extra hungry today... has taken 270 and 275ml this morning which freaks me out no end. Off to express again!

More later... to everyone! Happy wedding anniversaries too... is X's conception anniversary today or tomorrow

ETA: how on earth did i get to 700+ posts? My god I waffle!

[SamiH]

Hey, does anyone know who that belfie chick is who just posted??



It is posts like that that get me to nearly 1000 hahaha.

So 12 months since conception nearly - I just thought in the shower this morning how nice it is not to wory about every single bodily function/movement again - did I feel something, did I not, am I leaking, is that bleeding, are my headaches blood pressure etc etc ....

[amy_o]

She's in 000's (obviously the baby not me!!) She is also sleeping so I am off to attack her with a measuring tape....

Just so you know a few weeks to go until Bethany's conception...LOL....Still had my implant this time last year. Had it out on the 16th and from my reckoning concieved within 48hrs!! So much for the it may take months for your body to recover speech.

Ok be back soon
I will be PMing the measurements cause no lady likes that sort of info to be public and I am not going to start the public humiliation just yet!!!

[amy_o]

Ok for the record she wasn't too keen on the whole measure while asleep thing.....

However I came up with the good
A chubby little leg is 12cm
And her waist(or what I could find of it with the nappy on) is 37cm
Sorry I could not for the life of me figure out where a 3month olds hips are!!!!

She can deal with the humliation of her measurements being public later when she can read although if I had a 37cm waist I would be publishing it on every website, building, newpaper....you get the drift!!

PS will be coming for dinner PP, Love spinich and Ricotta, DH will be staying behind he doesn't hence why I have to get it else where (gee that sounds suss doesn't it!!)
Also have the can't be bothereds here, been asleep with Bethany since about 1. I love our afternoon snuggles and nap!!! I organise my day so I am home for them!!!
