How good is that! Did he not pass the one in hospital?
What a relief for you guys!

Oh and was it you who asked about the shields with me? It is a personal preference thing, but I think my preference now is shields so no more damage. Although it may be too late, I think I may have gotten mastitis AGAIN from the damage. My breast is SO tender...hoping I can nip it in the bud :(

---

Yeah he failed it in hospital. We saw an ENT paed a couple of days after leaving hospital, and had the full hearing test today. He has perfect hearing :)

And yes that was me that asked about the shields, I feel for you hon, I will try BF again with me next bub and will have to use the shields, and OMG seriously again with the mastitis? You cant catch a break can you. I actually had a dream about using sheilds last night and I was trying to get off using them, you must have infiltrated my dream lol

Lol I must be the only one without Facebook!

Nope. Me too little_O. Never been interested but it seems I will end up with no choice if I want to keep in touch with a whole heap of things

Great news on your little man BubbaT

DS passed his hearing test with flying colours - So relieved :)

---

Woohoo!!!

Nice one BubbaT - I must have missed a post way back when, and didnt know there was a possible problem with his hearing. Brain.Is.Mush.

I am thinking maybe I forgot to mention it lol. I had so much other stuff going on when he was born I guess I forgot

Hello everyone!

Hope this finds you well!

Dummy - we tried one the other day out of curiosity more than anything else. It may have been a coincidence as the last couple of days we've been a bit out of what little routine we had but he seemed really lazy at the breast at the next couple of feeds. Going to avoid it as much as we can for a little longer. Or if it goes in, once he settles we try taking it out...don't know if we'll get away with that though!

Body - i still have a bit of a flabby belly and while i don't think there's any more weight on my thighs there is definately less muscle. I was a bit down about it a couple of weeks ago but think that was still mostly hormone related as I'm quite happy now. I'm loving the lack of giant teenage pimples that i got while pg!

Wind - yes. J is doing some ripper farts. In fact, they smell different than they used to, they're quite offensive now. Do you think that could be because he's getting a little formula top up once a day? Or is it something I'm eating that could be causing it?

Going to post this now, then dopersies so the ipad doesn't lose it!

Now for those persies...

Hi little _ o! Sorry to hear you are still having trouble with mastitis. I think you are incredible persevering through all of this! Can't believe your little girl is almost 8 weeks!

BubbaT - good news about the hearing test!

Geeky - hang in there, like the other's have said, do what works for all of you now. Sufficient for the day is it's own troubles...you can work on making changes later when you and bub are more settled.

Can't see back any further so this will have to do for now! Hello everyone else, hope you are doing well.

AFM - bfing isgetting better, still slow but the vasospasm is not as bad so I'm much happier. J is getting cuter by the day, don't we all think that about our little ones!? I'm loving getting to know his little personality and that he likes to be carried facing out so he can see everything and loves beong held with his feet on something as if he's standing up. Still wish he'd have more day sleeps on his own though. Anyway, going to go try and get some things done!

Well GTT done today and now I am down to only physio next week for tummy muscle separation. Also officially finished my last injection yesterday after 15 weeks of stabbing my stomach once or twice a day :)

Were you still classes as diabetic bubba?

I only had to do 4 readings in a day and they cleared me? Although I think I am meant to go get another gtt to check.

No not still considered diabetic, this was to clear me :)

When do you have to do your GTT LittleO?

I don't really know. Noones told me, just that I have to get one yearly now. Who told you to get yours?

The hossy sent me a form for it

I tells ya I have the cutest darn kid lol. We are rocking along now, DS has discovered sleeping in his rocker which means we are finally getting him to sleep during the day again. This makes for a very happy mummy! He is feeding well, sleeping well and we are all feeling great.

Hope you are all enjoying motherhood as much as me

That is so good to hear. After the best night's sleep I've had since probably before I fell pregnant I would have to agree.

Go bubba and lulu! We went away for the weekend and dd slept her 5 hours again woohoo!

She's been unsettled again today so will be interesting if she will be good tonight.

Anyone do baby wearing here? I'm thinking of trying it out so she sleeps during the day. Any suggestions would be great.

Still haven't gotten her to get immunized...I have mixed feelings about it. I agree with immunizing, just feel bad putting her through it. That and in the back of my mid I'm always scared if she is one of the minority...:( ek!

I agree bubba. They are the cutest most lovable things. Your heart swells hey :)

I couldn't survive without baby wearing. I use an ergo, still with the infant insert, and I also use a sakura bloom ring sling. If I'm doing something fairly physical like vacuuming or mopping I prefer the ergo because she stays more upright and I feel she is better supported through my movements. Otherwise I love the ring sling for just moseying around, shopping, school run etc.

I have to get A's vaxx done this week or next. I hate my babies having them but IMO a necessary evil. Touch wood, I have been lucky so far in that neither DD1 or 2 have had any real issues with them

Is the ergo a bit like the bjon? My SIL has one she said I can have but my cousin swears by the wraps.
Dh and my mum have heard the horror stories of the suffocating babies in the sling do even though I like the idea they are scared! I figure though she's big enough now to move around when she's not comfortable.

Can't seem to find wraps though In the stores.

Yeah I think that's my opinion too...a necessary evil. Sigh wish the world was such we didn't even need them!
