hey all

didn't get a chance to get on here yesterday. jj had his needles

i decided to give the rotavirus one a swerve since he had 10 days of diarrhea last time. they said it's more of a concern for kiddies who are going to day care. so in the end he just had the two needles (because i've brushed hep B and hib as well).

james was already upset when he got to the surgery so i decided to put him on the boob while he got the shots. good idea, since the first needle he didn't even notice. the second one he cried out then went right back to sucking. good plan!

in the afternoon he definitely reacted more than last time. he was very upset, very thirsty and obviously sore. in the end i just lay him next to me in the bed and he just suckled and slept all afternoon on and off. there was no way he was going to settle in his own bed. poor kid. needles. bleh.

i think we're about to start introducing solids round here. the boy has been wanting feeds approximately every 90 minutes during the day (unless he does a 2 hour sleep). the routine is out the window and i have a hungry hippo on my hands.

he was 8.03kg yesterday, which, according the baby panadol packet, puts him into the 6-12 mths category. i figure the little guy just wants to eat moooooore.

i bought some farex so we're going to try that out with BM for his last feed before bed and see how we go.

i am pretty exhausted after all this extensive feeding. it has been 9 or 10 feeds in 24 for hours for the last few days. i'm jealously eyeing off you formula girls who do 4 bottles!!! wooo... how good is that. i wonder why BM is lauded as such a big deal. makes me nuts more than anything else, AND gives me something more to feel guilty about when i go to take it away from him. *eyeroll*

amber - i'm glad you feel better. i still feel carp. had a big sob in the shower this morning and got into trouble with DH for not coping.... we resolved it tho', so he's not in the dog house anymore.

not sure about the meetup - will have to play it by ear.

for the farex babies... what time of day did they have their first serve?
