Have been reading and not posting very slack! Quick update - back at work for a week now... have found out there's no waiting time for mat leave, woo hoo.
X has been drinking cow's milk for a bit, and I introduced it gradually (just mixed it with his EBM) cos he wouldn't take it straight... but once he got used to about 50:50 then he was fine to take it straight. Wake-up times are crazy atm... try 9am! We're actually trying to get him to wake up earlier...
amy_o - fantastic news about Bethany, I'm thrilled for you!!
avasmum & Tanya - very exciting with 1st birthday's coming up!!! And good luck with the weight gains too.
His party was great fun (can't remember if I've given update) but pretty low-key, nothing too fancy, but we all had a ball.
k gotta run, BBL another day hopefully with more personals.
So i am happy to report she has stayed at her usual rates, not dropped off on anything so the MCHN was very happy, she couldn't believe how much miss piggy eats!
This morn she had some puffed wheat AND THEN 2 slices of toast... hmmmm
So i guess aslong as she stays as happy as she normally is, is eating, weeing and pooing i have nothing to worry about.
Her eczema has flared on her back and stomach, little redish dots and very dry skin so off to buy a new moisturiser for her - has anyone tried the QV one, is it any good?
Also going to start her on milk from next week, will get half way through this tin of formula then start mixing it together until it's all milk and see how we go!
Well best be off, she fell asleep in my arms at the MCHN and stayed asleep during 2 car transfers so not sure how long i have to do some things.
Hope you have had a wonderful day and everyone spoiled you at work
Girls, I am cutting the umbilical cord to BB - I will still be around and will read once a week or similar - but I just dont have the time to be as active on it anymore. BB certainly has been an enjoyable part of my life, meeting some wonderful and kindred friends, but I am just too busy now that I am back at work and 3 kids and a travelling hubby.
I will still be on FB cos that is easier to be quick in replies and photos etc - sometimes on here it can take ages for things to work, and I get sidetracked reading other threads etc - before I know it I have wasted Zanders entire sleep time online
Happy 1st birthdays this week for all the other girls, and the week after for Jack!!!
Sami - Aww.. I'll miss you. Make sure you still stalk this thread and post once in a while. I know what you mean though. I only really read this thread now and occasionally look at other ones if I have spare time. It can be very time consuming on here.
Avasmum - It sounds like Ava is doing really well. With those stats I wouldn't be worried at all. Ava would be a giant compared to Maya! Did you come up with a better name for me? I always struggle to think of good names for things like this. LOL
belfie - Hope you had a great day.
So we saw the new paed today and he said he is concerned about M and even though that was hard to hear at the same time it is a relief for me because I have been concerned too! He made me feel guilty though that I didn't come see him earlier. He showed me M's weight chart and said "why didn't you see me when she was 3 months old? That's when other parents would have been rushing to my door and I would have been concerned too and would have done tests then." I am feeling guilty that I didn't do something earlier. I have been concerned but everyone keeps saying "oh she's just small" or they tell me to fatten her up. It's not about putting FAT on her. It's whether or not she's healthy! Anyway, that's what he's about, checking if she's healthy. So today she had a blood test! I was so anxious for her and nearly cried. But she was such a trooper - no tears!! Aww.. and she got a superman sticker. LOL so cute. We also have to collect wee and poo samples.
Anyway, so while I am feeling guilty I am also relieved that someone is finally doing something!! Hopefully it'll all come back normal but if it doesn't then we can do something about it.
