Rainbow Raver: Thanks for changing that bit of Oliver's name . So glad Bella is okay. I know what you mean about the closeness with b/f. I think if I ever had to give up b/f I would really miss it.
Oliver is nowhere close to rolling over either. I guess different bubs just do these things at different times.
Jords: Wow, sounds like you had a busy weekend! Pot luck dinner sounds great. These bubs are so cheeky - doing something once, like laugh, then not do it again for other people. Sometimes I wonder if people think I'm making this stuff up, lol.
How scary for your cousin to have her bub so early! I'm glad her and bub are okay.
Rainbow & Jords: Lol about the booby comments! I'll have to quote one of you somewhere!
We have a check-up tomorrow, and I'm so hoping we don't have that crappy MCHN again. I don't think she's normally there, so hopefully it will be one of the (much nicer) ones we've had previously. I hope Oliver has a good gain. I think he's grown a bit. I put him in a 00 wondersuit tonight for the first time and it fits him really well.
sterla - about not having skin to skin for 6hrs! i thought almost 2 was bad enough. but if i where to get on my soap box i'd have contacted the WHO by now and dragged the hospitals pead ward though the mud! im going to complain becuase what happend was horrific they also failed in their duty of care, plus violated their own "your rights" thingy they give every one whoes treated there. 150mls! thats fantasic! you should 'ave got another bottle and seen how much all up, out boobies are the bestst things EVAR if you have that evil MCHN just smile and say "well i think oli's fine, as for reading i'd rather play with him and devlop moter nutron skills as they are developing NOW, reading is more applicable later, besides it would be better if my hubby reads as he'd more more likely to read if a male role moddle dose it as well "
Jords- Woo for pot luck dinners! they'd be fantasic...i'd do one but sadly i LOVE cooking far, far too much! had my Inlaws over friday night and got cranky with MIL for bringing soup over for entree! haha! as for chewing too much - its gone now...and strangely more tooth has popped up! im thinking it was a wisdom tooth comming down (they're due 'round now cus i had an x-ray done when i was 17 and the destist said they'd be down when i was 20-21...)
'bow - i've heard bubs can change there...likes...for formular. a girl i know had her son on all bar one (that was the lactose free one) becuase he didnt like the others...she went from s26 gold to Karicare (which i use) and it he was fine after that! glad to hear bella is doing better!
AFM: had a good-ish day. went and saw some relatives...they're giveing DH and i some shelves they dont want, which DH needs with all his car stuff laying around :eyeroll: but i guess every boy needs a toy and DH's car is that! i think daz is blocked up...only a little poo today :s a little worrying. so, so glad i only did that extra scoop twice...makes me want to express more (thus im still up) so he only gets EBM and that dietition can get stuffed! plus i thought if you added more formular this could happen? gah stupid medical people!
Oliver had his check-up this afternoon. He had gained 320g and grown 0.5cm in two weeks. His growth is slowing down, but I'm assuming (and hoping) that's pretty normal. It was one of the nice MCHNs today too. She was so nice. At one point I said "He's a good boy", and she said, "He's a good boy cause he's got a good mum and dad" .
Blip: Thinking about it again, I worked out it was longer than 6 hours before I got skin-to-skin. I mean, I got to hold him before that and fed him (though I don't think I ever got do a proper breastfeed in the first day - we syringe fed him the first few times)... Oliver was born at 12.34am, and I think it was more like 1pm by the time I got to do some proper skin-to-skin, so it was more like 13 hours! And by then, I'd requested it and the midwife kind of acted like "Alright, if you want" but made it seem like there was no point now . I didn't have much time to think about all this in the early days, but now that Oliver and I are in a good routine and I've had more time to think - my whole birth experience/first day with Oliver is starting to really upset me. I know the c/s was necessary at the time, but I still feel like I missed out on so much not being able to birth him myself. And missing out on those first few hours while I was in recovery and Oliver was in the nursery... I've written about it in the c/s support forums a few times, but rather than these feelings fading with time, they seem to be increasing with time as I have more time to reflect... sorry, getting off track...
How is Daz doing today?
yesterday, Sammy started bringing back up full feeds, she did it in the afternoon, woke up at midnight and did it again and one more time this morning as well. She also spewed an hour after another feed, so I said to Dh, alright this is not right and went to the EC to make a self appointment, all spots were full by then, so i took the opportunity to weigh her as I had a bad feeling she had not gained any weight this week...to my horror, she had lost 50gr since last week, so I went to the GP this arvo and need to catch some urine ( should be interesting) in case its a urinary track infection and she cannot find anything wrong with her. Sammy is still such a happy baby but the weight loss definately is concerning so she has referred me to a paed. The one that saw Sam at birth is on holidays for a month, so am waiting to hear back from my GP ( who is awesome btw) and she will refer me to one she knows and will fit us in this week.
So its all very disheartening. I cannot think of anything as to why this would happen and 2 weeks seems a long time for it to be viral. We figured out that since her 6 weeks check, she has only gained 320g and the Dr said its most likely not reflux as she should not be losing weight.
Sorry no personals today, just trying not to stress too much, but its hard. She is still such a happy little mite, its very strange.
Hey Girls,
Just a quick one as Im one-left handed-typing(bah!)
Moose you poor thing you must be so stressed big hugs to you,I hope everything with Sammy works out.Do you know when the results will be in?.. at least she is in good spirits, what a little trooper!
Sterla- The treatment you had after your c/s sounds like an abomination,no wonder you feel upset! WTF was that midwife thinking? Hopefully the dissapointment you(naturally) feel will fade with time. Big hugs*
Blip- I love cooking too, so much! I LURVE baking treats too but never get time... got myself the best baking book for xmas 'womens weekly BAKE' soooo good! I love just looking at the pictures
Raver- So happy to hear Bella is going good!
Antheia- Where are youuuuu? Hope the project is going well
Hand is killing me, We are good,got my new pram today, Stoked!!!! Score off ebay swallow beemer jogger, woop!
Thanks for the kind words girls...is so funny right, she had a huge feed before we went to the Dr, no spew, had another big feed an hour and half later when we got back from Dr, no spew. She then went for a little nap and woke up at 4:15pm. I fed her again at 5:30pm as she was hungry and had a big feed then again and she has been in bed since 6:30...but the main thing is she has now had 3 big feeds and no spew which makes me feel so much better. I was given a cup to try and catch some wee for the UTI and DH and I thought..woow that just may be a challenge. Dh asks, when does she pee? I said...when do you pee? When she has to!! LOL Then we thought that we should put her feet in the warm water before she goes in the bath and that she might pee, well......... we did just that, I held the cup underneath and she peed right in the cup, 1st go! We were so impressed with ourselves, so there is a tip to put in your mummy brains, if you need a urine sample, put their feet in the warm bath and there is a good chance you will get some wee in there!
Oh look at me babbling on again!
Sterla:that didn't sound like a nice experience but there is no point to dwell on it as you cannot change it, just be thankful you got a nice healthy bubba and that you will not let it happen for #2! That was a good gain for Oli too!! I think they are due to slow down a bit and 12 weeks they have another growth spurt due as well, so it could be the calm before the storm!
. So glad Bella is okay. I know what you mean about the closeness with b/f. I think if I ever had to give up b/f I would really miss it.

if you have that evil MCHN just smile and say "well i think oli's fine, as for reading i'd rather play with him and devlop moter nutron skills as they are developing NOW, reading is more applicable later, besides it would be better if my hubby reads as he'd more more likely to read if a male role moddle dose it as well
