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.
AMY Yay... Great news that B doesn't have to have an op. That's fantastic to hear
MOI - So what does your new name mean? Glad you were happy with the paed. But I am still sure they won't find anything wrong with M. What a good girl, being so good for the BT. Eeewwy on collecting the samples. That's gonna be tricky to get a wee sample
SAMI - Bye bye, but not farewell.... Will keep in touch on FB
BELFIE - Happy birthday for yesterday. Hope you had a fab day & got spoilt rotton. You must be feeling great about the expressing coming to an end. What are you gonna do with all your spare time now? How's work? How often are you working?
AVASMUM - Good to hear everything is fine with Ava. Gees, it sounds like she's a good sleeper too
Well BJ refused his milk last night (from DH cause I was at netball & we won by the way lol), drank only 50mls or so... And..... No poos when he woke up this morning. So my question is.... Can the cows milk give them runny & lotsa poos? Will his system get use to it or should I do something about it? Any ideas? I will have to ring my sister today & ask her. I guess Fluff is probably the only one that can answer this question as she's the only non first timer (besides Sami of course, & Csab)...
fluff-a-holic - thanks for the advice hun, i will slowly introduce it and see how she goes but what are my other alternatives?
She has been having milk on her cereal, maybe thats whats causing the dry skin, it's not QUITE at the yuck RED and ITCHY stage yet, just small raised red bumps and dry patchy skin.
SamiH - we will miss you , thanks for the birthday wishes, enjoy your non BB time when you get it. Hope your all happy n healthy until we hear from you again!
Moi - Thanks, yeah i am happy with Ava's progress for now, aslong as she STAYS at the 10th% and doesn't slip i guess i will be happy.
don't feel guilty about not taking M in earlier, you have a lot on your plate and it's not fair for him to comment, if it was SUCH a huge issue then your MCHN or Dr should have told you it was urgent earlier.. it's not your fault!
will keep our for you and your gorgeous M, hope you get the samples you need without too much mess or fuss for her and that her blood tests come back normal!
No names yet, am trying to think of something... it's gotta be PERFECT for you.. what about AVASPIG... lol
Georgi - congrats on your netball win.. NICE WORK, i miss playing netball!
Ava sleeps ok, not always so well if i have to get her out of the car but she had been awake from 7 til just after 11 so i guess she was buggered, will try repeating that process again today.. hehe she's going to my cousins at 3 so i can go get her balloons so hopefully she has a big morning nap and wont be grumpy on him.
Not sure bout the milk poos, will start trying Ava with a mix soon, she has been dropping right back on her bottles though was lucky to take 100ml yesterday morning and the same last night.
Hope everyone else is well.
AFM - just getting all Ava's stuff sorted, ONE tomorrow! hmmm where has the time gone?
Nearly organised for her party, i think, gotta make her cake tonight for Mark's nans tomorrow night.. wish me luck!
Re the cows milk Georgi - yes if you have made the switch cold turkey it certainly can give them the runs. It doesn't mean he has an intolerance, just that his system needs to get used to it. Zander has been on 50 - 100mls a day - but he doesnt need anymore really cos he is still b/f morning and night. He doesn't have any runnier nappies - but he has also been on anti's which gave him a bit more looser than normal. Why dont you try getting his calcium other ways?? The literature guides us with 600mls of milk per day - but this can be given in whatever form such as yoghurts, cheese, high calcium vegies etc - so realistically you could reduce the milk intake to 400mls a day pretty easily with this.
Anyway, something to play around with.
Z is still terrible overnight - I mean literally screaming and not settling into sleep at all with terrible cough - 6 nights now - we are still surviving on only 2 - 3 hours sleep per night which is just not fathomable, taking him back to the doctors today for another check cos his breath now stinks. So, I had to weigh up if better for me to go to work and be unproductive, or take a personal day - and I have opted for the latter as I think that is fairer to everyone. My job involves some reading and writing papers at the moment and no way I could conentrate and quality would be crap! He had slept a week through the night before this so I dont think it is a habit - and he wont sleep in our bed, and is still screaming in our arms - so I definitely think it is illness v behavioural. But I have no idea and it is ripping me inside out. I think I will get a private person to come in once he is better to help me resettle him again into his night time routine - Tanya/Moi - where did you find yours that you used with Maya?
