Mum was told as my feet grew, the nails would correct themselves... 25 years later and they still haven't
They've never bothered me (it's the same toe on each foot) so no-one saw a reason to fix them
Two less nails I have to cut, I suppose

BF mummies, have any of you had a drop in supply? Wyatt has been so fussy on the boob I decided to express and see how much was there. Not a drop from the left and about 3mls from the right. Then an hour and a litre of water later not a drop from the left and about 20mls from the right
I gave him that plus what I had in the freezer and he sucked it down so fast! Now I'm out
I'm so upset. Gonna keep expressing plus feeding till it's back up. Just hope he doesn't go too hungry in the process!

WMM: Im pretty sure I had a drop in supply one time for a couple of days around one of his growth spurts, and then a few days later they were full of milk again just more of it. When they start drinking more to compensate for their growth spurt they drain you dry but then ur supply builds because your body knows they need more. Thats what I think anyway, could be wrong
meanwhile for the 2nd night in a row I fed Chase then just put him in his bassinet and walked away because i want him to start being able to sleep without me holding him. And success on night two. He lies there not exactly crying, just doing his fake cries of displeasure and after about 10 mins he is out for the count

Eden has croup. Thankfully not whooping cough- which is what the paranoid part of me thought. Still, croup is bad enough.
I'm on my phone so i have no idea who said what, but whoever was bored cleaning their house, wanna do mine ?even with just Eden at home the place is a pigsty. Jensen and dh are useless, especially dh. I'm trying to get him to see that J learns by example, but it's not working. Dh learnt by FIL example
two bad role models on the housework front.
Hopefully I'll get everything I have left to do done today. It's hard though as I've got a bad wrist (de quervein tenosynovitis) and although I can move it (not I'll range of movement though), it's painful.

Oh, anyone going to the Pregnancy, Baby & Children's expo next week? It's a Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I'm heading in (bravely) on the Friday with both kids...
Are any other babies when lying back in your arms trying to sit up? Eden goes from lying right back to sitting upright.
Sarah-popping in the ear is fluid and popping is a good sign it is trying to drain away my 18 year old has had ear problems his whole life 7 surgeries all because the fluid would not drain from his ears and rotted away his ear drums he had to have 2 total ear reconstructions when he was 15 and 17 anyway when he gets colds his ears fill up and his specialist said popping is a good sign and it can take up to 6 weeks to drain.
Jaki-I was a BF failure after the 1st week with my boys so i wish i could help sorry!
Kitty-way to go hope it continues Ella has been really good self settling until the last few days but last night she was back to her old self.
AFM-Ella went to bed at 7 no fuss and had a good night so i dont know what the last few days was about maybe she just wasnt well.
Nope Ella is a lazy bubby lol but she is grabbing her toys on her mobile really co- ordinated now and hanging on to them

Boo to croup scone
Ferrals glad ella is back to her old self
Yay kitty for c self settling! C has never done that!
Jak how is feeding going?
Sarah sorry no info on what your boobs are doing lol. My friend recently stopped bfing at 1 week and it took a while for it to dry up even though she had basically no supply when feeding and couldn't express anything out....hope your kids are better soon.
So I am super ****ed at 2 of my friends and don't know whether to say anything, tell me if you guys would or what you would say. Friends round for dinner last sat night, bought son who was barking like a dog. Coughing til he spewed a couple of times green runny nose, on ab's, just really unwell poor guy. I have a policy where ppl aren't allowed to bring kids to my house if anything worse than a cold, and I don't go to thiers. We have been friends with them for about 8 years and they know all the ins and outs of ella and were with us all the times we almost lost her. Anything that goes to her chest could potentially kill her, and at the very least put her in hossy on o2. Plus the fact we also have a little baby in the house!! Ella is sick now, has been since Tuesday and if she gets any worse we are off to hospital. I'm so f*cling mad and upset they don't care enough about us to keep him away. Dunno if I'm over reacting

EM:i would be more than ****ed! deffinatly say something. you could let it slide IF they didnt know your history and IF it wasnt so seriouse, but WTF? if i was them i would have cancelled and made a day when he was well and not sick. i cant stand people like that. i cancelled on a friend of mine last week as the kids wernt 100%, made a playdate this week for the kids if mine were better, and now im the worst friend as i dont want her kids to get what mine have and cancelled again. apparently catching up as often as possible befor i move (in 3 months) is more important than the kids health. some people have no freakin idea!
scone, poor E
thanks ferals, your poor ds. i thought it could mean something like a ear infection.
got a appointment for 10, mums coming to drive us up as its to icey out to take them on the bus. it took me half hour to un stick krystals eyes, poor thing all puffy and grouchy.
never thought id say this, i want my happy over-energetic kisds back!

Lou I'd be very cranky. I can't believe they didn't call first and say he is sick should we still come?!
BellyBelly Member
I know right?! Especially since last state of origin they were coming over and I rang them to say ella and I were sick and did they still want to come!!
I would say something your daughters health and that of bub is to important i have no hesitation in saying to anyone with a cough that they cant come near Ella until she is fully immunised and with your ella being so fragile i would be furious.
Anyway ladies i am stepping away from the computer for a while i am on it way to much and need to shift this 4 kilos before i go back to work so i want to use my spare time to budge the bulge i wont be gone fore ever just a while to get myself back into my work life routine i have been away from work for 5 months and need to get myself organised again.
