 Aww, shes a cutie! And she has sooo much hair!!

I know what you mean, I had a bar of chocolate thinking that perhaps it was just soya (I had stopped having soya milk on my cereal), and she was screaming like mad after! I'm on maternity leave until January so that makes it easier for me. Its mad how much soya and dairy are in, almost all foods have them in!! Even some that I wouldn't have thought! I've been soy/dairy free for a couple of weeks n ow and am noticing the difference with Erica. The doctor also recommended that I take her to an osteopath, so am hoping that that will help her too. If nothing else it is forcing me to be healthier by cutting junk out of my diet! All I seem to eat now is fruit, vegetables, rice, pasta and chicken/fish! lol.

It does go by so fast. I can't believe I have an 18 year old graduating from high school. I still feel like I'm 20 something inside. I keep trying to remind myself to take it slow and day by day. To enjoy every minute and not sweat the small stuff. Have a great day!!

Thank you so much for telling me your story with polyhydramnios. It is refresshing to know you had a healthy big baby :O) I think my doctor mis-measured, as I had an ultrasound last night and they couldn't see any extra amt of fluid. However, my little guy is measuring big and already almost 4lbs (and I'm 28wks). SO I think I'm on track for a big boy!! Thanks again!

By the way, your kids are gorgeous!!

Keep your baby out of the sun. That's the best thing you can do. Walmart sells bug/sun covers that fit right over the car seat/carrier. They are actually pretty cute, too.

They say not to put sunblock on a baby younger then 6 months, but with my last son we took him out one day when he was 6 weeks for 15 min and since they say not to put sunblock on a baby younger than 6 months I just put a hat on him. He got the worst sunburn and screamed for hours so I felt terrible so I would say a little sunblock is better than a sunburn:) cute baby, she has so much hair!

my mom found brownie mix for me that doesnt have any soy or dairy..and it tasted great!! its a red box that says Organic Brownie mix...so i use that for my chocolate fix. if u have a sprouts or a whole foods near u they have a bunchh of allergen free stuff...i get my mayo and bread from there. walmart also carries ciabatta bread that is soy free near their bakery..not the bread aisle. keep me posted on anything u find out!

ugh thats been my #1 question as well. it makes sense to me that soy oil is ok since its protein that gives the prob, but her doc says i should avoid it. well i went ahead and reintroduced it at 5 months and around the same time she started having littttle tiny specs of blood in her stools once a day. i suspect it was just a rectal fissure not at all related to the soy oil since she wasnt fussy at all and didnt seem to be in any pain like she was before...but of course her doc blamed it on the soy and so here i am again. like u said if i could just have soy oil that would open up a world of options..if u have a Chik Fil A near u, u can have the waffle fries there..thats all ive found that i can have in terms of fast food :)...if u do decide to try soy oil let me know how it goes please

Just so the milk doesn't go to waste if she can't use it, i would search for milk banks near you. They take breast milk from others and give to premies/newborns that mothers can't produce it. Just a thought.

mom2boy - Wednesday, 14 May
I think I will switch to Rice milk and see what happens. The thing is he has some off days and some really nice days and I have soy milk every day. If Soy was a problem don't you think he would always have a bad day?

With Josh i was only able to bf for about 6 weeks. It was a struggle with every meal and neither of us were very happy. He then went on soy formula. We tried to re-introduce dairy when he was a year old and found that he was projectile vomiting at every meal b/c of it. So we held off until just a few months ago. We started by giving him things that contain whey and cassinate (spelling?) when he did ok with those then we moved to products that contain milk, then finally cheese. He is going to be 3 June 2nd and he can eat what he wants now and has for about 3 months. Though he still prefers soy milk over regular. I guess it is all what you are use to! hehe. Though it did take about 2 weeks to get dairy out of his system both times we had to stop and go back to a dairy free diet. so i would give it time to get completely out of her system, exp if the side effects are serious. Good Luck and you have beautiful children!

Thanks, we think he's pretty cute (not right this second, He's crying :-) ) I know what you mean about a million bad pictures for one good one, I stand over him all the time just snapping away. We have gotten some great shots....I waiting for him to cross his eyes when I have the camera...He makes the funniest little cross eyed face.

mom2boy - Wednesday, 14 May
He spits up a lot and is very fussy. I don't know what mucus in poo looks like but it is funny because I was looking at his poo today and thought it looked mucusy but I don't know that it really was. I don't really do dairy because I am lactose intolerant but I eat a lot of soy. Tofu, soy milk, soy ice cream etc. Maybe I will get rice milk and see what happens.

mom2boy - Wednesday, 14 May
What were the symptoms of your baby? Why no soy? If she is allergic to milk why no soy? The only reason why I ask is because I am beginning to wonder if my baby is having problems with stuff in my diet. I don't eat much dairy at all but I do eat a fair share of soy.

Have fun on your trip-I'm sure she will sleep the entire flight. I'm a day late but happy mothers day!

blueyedxdemon - Tuesday, 13 May

I'm not worried either. I was just wondering if they teethe this early. It is cute. It's like more progress and goes along with his bubbly personality..lol

I hear you. Good luck to your hubby cause he will get some good dirty diaper time. ha ha ha... i am sending my kids to the same day care that my 10 yr old and 13 yr old attended. the infant teacher is no longer there so i hope this new one is good. they only take 4 infants so that is also good. oh well, once again, he is fussing. i don't think he likes me on the computer. ha ha ha

sickasadog - Wednesday, 7 May
yeah, the whole maternity leave thing is sad, isn't it? I go back after the 4th of july. I will not give him to child care until he gets he reflux under control though. I will have to just work out something with my job. are you cool with your child care? it has been 10 years since my kids went to child care as an infant so I am feeling some anxiety with sending him.

sickasadog - Monday, 5 May
wow, my son is close to 5 wks. i cannot believe it. it went fast, but probably just so exhausted and not following time as much. i hate bedtime because I know i am about to have another sleepless night. ha ha ha... anyway, he thankfully nursed regularly this weekend so my breasts are back to normal, but i don't even think he likes them when they are rock solid cause they spray all over hime. ha ha ha

Isn't it strange how we have new babies and teens! Its a bizzarre thing looking at my 16 yr old thinking she was my baby! This little just yesterday it seems like. When she began to develop it was a shock...baby to woman. Shes not small chested either so its a shock when I see people notice. We were once this little too. Shocking!

I had a long night with her trying to calm her down. Thats a new one for me as well as usally she goes to sleep really easy nursing. But she just kept turning from me and screaming. I finally got her asleep...not sure how but I did. Everytime she woke up it was the same so we just ended up staying in bed for 13 hours so I could get the sleep I needed. Ahh sleep. I know as she grows up she will be more fun its just hard for now. I have always had such happy babies in the past. I know I am just frustarted. I have her in my arms. She was just fussing up a storm so I started bouncing and making silly noises everytime she cried and she would just look at me and stop. Then closed her eyes and went to sleep. Funny how that worked.

We are home from the hospital. What a ordeal. Very very scary! She is doing much better. She could not be released until she could eat again, be completely off oxygen and not have to have the vacuum cleaning out the mucus from her nose. SO we have to use the bulb to squeeze out her nose, breastfeed as much as she wants, and keep a eye on her breathing to be sure she is not struggling. Its more like a terrible cold now with a cough and congestion. I feel like I can handle things now though. I will be so happy to sleep in a bed after 4 days in a hospital. I am going to sleep as well which a foriegn concept at the moment. Thanks for the concern.

Thank you for telling me that. I'm not swollen anywhere and I really dont think its fat b/c I can still fit my legs in pre-pregnancy pants (a little tighter but they still fit) I don't know????
