May 2010 babies!

man i started updating hours ago but then we had a power cut and our modem died along with everything else. lol.

MW visit was great! the MW i had today seemed so much more on the ball than my last 2. She noticed Finn is tongue tied and has reffered us to dentistry already and should have an appt by the start of next week. It explains why he is eating an hour then still having formula. he is latching well but sucking badly so hopefully if we can see how bad it is then my milk may be ok after all. She looked at mine and DH tongues and reckons he was probably bad feeder and slighlty tied too and its genetic. he is nearly back to birth weight which is great. i can feed him 4 hourly during the day and leave him over night til he wants to wake up. Mack was probably tongue tied too which would have affected my milk and explains why he choked so badly as a little guy, he couldnt swallow properly. He has the longest belly button before the cord starts so if i hasnt retracted lots at 6 weeks we have to get him checked for a hernia but its unlikely. he has been waking himself every 3 - 4 hours and going down well all day so its all looking pretty good.

i have the same MW team always looking after me and obviouslt their standards are better regulated. Mack has never been wieghed wearing anything at all. MW's and plunket all do naked weights

We had our first outing in the stroller around the shops today! Went really well and Lily slept the whole time. It was funny tho, takes 10 times longer to get anything done because of people fawning over her wherever we go!
Tomorrow I have to go get groceries with TWO children.. I'm not quite sure how we're going to get on - the baby holder things on the trolleys are terrible and Lily gets so uncomfortable! I might have to put her in the frontpack and get a normal trolley or something.

I REALLY need to weigh myself too, my pants are falling off of me and my tops are incredibly loose - cept for round the boobs. Will be interesting to find out how much i've actually lost!

Oh, Lily has her hearing test on the 22nd as well.. I thought they did them when they were new? all good tho, will be interesting to see how they do it!

pinky where do you live in the hutt? I'm in maungaraki, I don't think there are too many nurses working in the hills. I got the call from plunkett nurse same time as you did today, her name is Pip I wonder if we have the same one?

Can't believe my wee girl is nearly a month old! Madness!

MissA - Re shopping / groceries. Does your supermarket have the ones that fit capsules in them? It's just ours have the ones you can either put them in or the ones you can put the capsules in.

Renee some capsules don't fit into the trolleys, ours doesn't have the grooves for it iygwim!
I usually chuck my Lily in the frontpack!

oh wow nick - I dodn't know that. I never tried it with our capsule..

emmi i would never have guessed about waiting to ttc and chances of vbac. interesting!
good job on first outing! :)

we had the contraception talk today too. options were condoms, depo or mini pill. MW said chance of falling pregnant while exclusively BF is slim but definately not reliable.

Alex has put on just a little more weight and is now 4.350kg. i thought he would be a bit more cos he feels sooo heavy!

i will be at bex place but prob be late again as my AN coffee group meets at 10am on mondays. I won't be able to make Dennys this time as my brother is visiting for the weekend.

TP i think my nurse is called Liz. i'm down in lower hutt just by the hospital. love your new profile pics too. jodie is gorgeous!
