Yay Marydean!!!! That is great news that you can go home!!

Oh Agnes, hope you're feeling OK today. Lucky that W wasn't in the car.

Pregpan - how's N going today? Poor little thing, sounds like he's got a little bug, but one of those ones that's hard to identify.

Noni - well done on the cloth nappies!!

Sorry I have been MIA - computer has been playing up and I don't know why, so aren't game to be on for too long LOL.

Agnes, how are you today hun? I hope you managed to get some sleep last night. He will have his CTP insurance as part of his rego, so you shouldn't have to pay.

Marydean - a huge YEEEEHAAAAAA!!!!!!! for you! how exciting to be going home. So I guess this means I have to get a wriggle on and come and come and see you again then?

Not a lot happening here - sleep is still pretty much hit and miss. Last night I spent the night on the lounge with him because he was just so fitfull from belly pains. He never really woke up, but he was far from settled. I did go back to bed once DH had gone to work and put him in our bed (co sleeping in our bed is a bone of contention ATM - hence why I was on the lounge). The tooth still hasn't come through and if anything it looks like it has gone back up a little - it isn't so bulgy now - but he is off his food a little like Lindsay used to get when he was getting teeth, so maybe it will come through soon afterall? who knows!

hi all just a quickone from me, have had an AWFUL night - Noah and i were up most of the night.. poor little man. he then had diahorea at 4am - i heard it from my room - and he slept til 6, then i fed him and he slept til 8.30 - thankfully. he has just had another load of it - sorry if TMI.
Anyway am taking himto the dr at 1030, i am soooo worried about him (and exhausted)
I am bfeeding him as much as he wil take (he isnt overly keen but will drink for a little bit) and trying to give him basic solids if he will take it... he doesnt have a temp...thankfully.
OK sorry for the very selfish post, will pop back on later when i am less worried and upset (and tired) and see what you have all been up to.

Hi Girls!

Wowsers sooo much has happened in these few last days!! LOL! a girl can barely keep up!

MD: how exciting!!! and you're right, i love having something to look forward to...and the prospect of going home i think would be one of the best!

Renee: LOL at your 'new' DH model! where do i pick one of them up from???

Noni: Sorry to hear that Asha is being a fusspot. v annoying! no doubt next week she will not want to look at sweets and will only eat cereal...that's if she's anything like Leila! and woo hoo on the cloth nappies, welcome to the dark side!! and i agree those big fluffy bottoms are too cute!

Agnes: I hope that you are OK after the accident. it's pretty scary stuff. and yeah, like sherie says it should be his CTP that covers it. still a pain the rear tho. (pardon the pun!!).

Pregpan: I hope that all is well. sorry to hear the little man is not feeling too chipper. they like to keep us on our toes!

Oh man i had way more personals to add but with the new thread, i cannae remember! LOL! mummy brain attack.

Here things are also a bit hit and miss with the sleep. nothing like the night horrors that we had a couple of weeks ago where leila screamed every 10 minutes for 3 days in a row...but still not great.
also had our MACH nurse appointment yesterday and leila is not gaining enough weight for them to be too happy. she is 8 and half months old and only weighs 7.1kgs. i was expecting around 8. she eats like a horse and BF 5 times a day, so not sure where it is all going. anyway so we were referred to the GP who is also concerned and now we are off to a paed. egad.

anyway, i'll have to BBL for personals...am suppoused to be putting changes into one of my chapters...the level of boringness for such a task is immeasurable!

smiles to everyone,
Clare

pregpan - sorry to hear noah isnt well.. hope he gets better n u get some sleep asap!!
