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?

[PinkPalace]

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!

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!!!

[teruteru]

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...

[AmandaJ]

Sami I hear ya on the ground hog day with clothes washing I have to wash everyday and have at least two loads everyday depending on what needs to be washed and if the boys have decided to use twenty million clothes for the day, I swear sometimes they are worse then girls.

Sorry not many personals, but I have read all posts.

I got Julian weighed this afternoon and he has now hit 6.1kg with clothes on and is 61cms long, he is right on the 50th percentile so an average boy, lol. I just had to clean an exploda poo went right up his back over all his clothes and his lamb's wool, OMG I had to hand wash his clothes right away and put the lambs wool in the wash. He also has torticollis, which is his neck muscles are tight on one side and that is his right and he can hardly turn to the left so we have a referal to see a physio.

Re wipes I use the woolies brand in the green pack.

hugs xoxo

[1MOREPLZ]

Amanda i thought Jack had torticollis aswell BUT has been checked twice now by 2 different Drs, and his neck muscles are fine, he can DEFINATLY turn his head both ways BUT prefers one way (was more prominent previously) and is much better now.
I have been ULTRA lazy in taking Jack to the MCHN..i just don't like any of them around our area..they are so dirty/dingy/yucky.... i take him to a chemist and weigh him BUT i know i should take him for a full weigh/measure...

[amy_o]

I am having huge BB issues with the upgrade, I get the random question and I don 't have quick reply thats if I can even get here!! Apparently they are working on these kinks in the system, don't forget me girls!!!

(oh and for those who don't get random questions the one I had to answer to post this is:What planet do we live on?)

[PinkPalace]

oh wow Kat!
i remember reading about your boys weight as he grew into MCN well lol... as i was waiting for E to grow some more. E is now 6.4kg! he is growing so fast i swear! it is weird to see him so big and long now.

I am used to DD(she ws 6 months before she was 6.5kg lol).

Ive bought some target dribots wipes to try. THey were on sale $12.99 for 480! so thought i would see what they were like. i mean they are proba ll the same lol.

DS is still asleep!!!! omg. I have to get DD from FDC now and he went to bed at 1230!

teru - I'm trying to decide whether to go to the UK with Maya in June. But I'm scared of taking her on planes when she cries in the car! I look forward to hearing about your travel experience afterwards.

PP - Woohoo on Ethan sleeping all night on his back.

Georgi - I hope you decided to rest today!

I went to mother's group this afternoon and it's the first time in a while that Maya didn't spend the whole time crying cos of the strange environment and strangers.

I've been thinking about getting some cloth nappies to try and was wondering who in here is using cloth nappies and which ones do you use?

It's so hot today!

[teruteru]

tanya- will do. im nt sure whether im looking forward to the plane trip or not but we'll see hey! i usu fly back on the midnite flight but dont think ppl would b too happy if theres a crying baby. decisions decisions...btw we use cloth most times, majority of mine are osfm pocket nappies (Bumgenius, happy heiny, green kids, haute). where abts in melb r u??
