Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child must work for a living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is fair and wise and good and gay.

elizhay - Friday, 25 July Hello Mummies. Just an update on Olivia. We took her to her physio appt on monday. Her feet are getting better but still have to use a brace til September. She doesnt mind it so its ok. Tuesday we had injections and her 4 month check-up. She weighs 5.36kilos which is 11 lbs 8 ozs, she is a little bundle. We havent started solids as yet, so when we do she might get a bit more meat on her, she is happy with just the booby juice for the timing being. Thursday, we had her hearing test and i am pleased to let you all know that she PASSED!!! The audiologist she is a very placid baby. The cause of her hearing loss was due to the mecconium that was in her middle ear and also she has a bit of a cold. As most of you know she had pooed inside me before she was born. I just want to thank you for all your prayers and well wishes... obviously the big man upstairs heard you all. Thank you ALL so much. Take care of yourselves and families. God Bless....

summerisis - Wednesday, 23 July Hi everyone! Aloha from Sierra. She had her 4-month Well Baby visit on Monday and weighed 13 pounds 9 ounces (50th percentile). She's long and lean at 23 1/2 inches (75th - 90th percentile) but has a peanut head (25th percentile). Overall, she's doing splendid.
We're on the plane right now - heading to California to see the family. It's rather exciting except that the oil filter on the plane has to be replaced so rather than revving the engines and taking off, we headed back to the gate for a repair. It's a little scary if you ask me and we've successfully missed our transfer flight. At least the kid is chill! So, if you hear about Flight 92 crashing, you'll know who was on it! I hope you all have a good day. We'll post some pics shortly. Dunno if I can do it from my cel. Tootles and Aloha! Jeni and Sierra
Preggers123 - Wednesday, 23 July Omg your pregnant? Really? wow congratulations! I hope everything is ok with your pregnancy. She is just so pretty. Yeah I don't wanna go back wo work but we need Money for Diapers and to pay the damn bills lol. I will work 3 days a week from 1:00-6:00 Pm. Then have 2 days off a week to spend time with Baby Michael. I do work at a Daycare but I will not take him there cause first of all she's ( My Boss) is only giving me a 30% discount and thats not enough for us to afford him staying there with me. have a good day and I hope everything works out for you. What hospital are you going to get your untrasound? I went to the one in Cranberry in Wexford.
Preggers123 - Wednesday, 23 July Hey girl haven't chatted with you in a while. How are things going? How is Mckenzie doing? I hear she's walking thats wonderful. baby Michael is starting to roll to his side when he's on his playmat. He is getting so big! He will be 3 months old July 29th. I go back to work in August and i'm not looking forward to it. I am gonna miss my little man. I work 3 half days from 1:00 -6:00 so i will be back at the daycare then. Michael will be with my Mother and Father N Law those days so I don't have to take him to daycare. I hope things are going well and please keep in touch. Give her kisses from me:) Michelle
