Oh Baby thats brill! Sorry about the delay in replying.. damn broadband been down for over a week
Hows the weight gain going?? Does she like the shakes? Tom has managed to put on a little recently at last and is now 16lbs 15oz (7.7kg). When he hits 8kg he can go onto milk thats even higher in cals than the stuff hes on now (1.5 cals/ml rather than 1 cal/ml).

I hope Lucy's rash has gone now Joanne.

Nighty night xxxxxx

Weight is now at 20lbs 4 oz she will not touch the soy formula etc which is a pain-with the periactin she has good and bad days, we are waiting to see a dietician now on 1st July and back to GI on 7th-I don't know how you do it hon I'm shattered!!! Great news that Tom has put some on at last-what does Jake weigh now?

Hey ho
Not sure about Jake..not weighed him in a while. He was about 24lbs I think the last time he was weighed but I think he may have lost a little recently as he doesn't eat well when we're out of routine and out and about, and the time we spent back and forth to the hosp with Tom he was barely eating a thing compared to normal.
We were meant to see the dietician again on Monday but I cancelled as I didn't see much point in going. We spoke on the phone instead. Not much they can suggest really if they're not eating! Tom so much better though but I still have to shovel in 7mth+ jars to get him to eat enough. They have to be the soft ones with pasta and not lumps of veg or he just spits it all out.
We're seeing the growth specialist in London again next Fri so looking forward to his take on things at the mo and seeing if he still thinks GHT is the way to go.

Anyway.. best go. Boys creating havoc!

Hi All
Cheers for asking about lucy summer i am still unsure as she has a different rash thought it was chicken poxs but still there over 10 days later so not so sure hv said they look like it but who knows she was recently diagnosed lactose intolerant we put her on soya milk for 6 then for two days had norma formula & well she brought every bottle up with terrible number twos so gp ordered her back onto wysoy she know weighs 12lb 9oz

So how did it go at the growth specialist summer

I hope everyones well how come everyone has disapeared of here!!!! Do you all still post on msn not been on there for yonks aslost the link to it.

Hi everyone!!

Yes - I'm still here, lurking away!! Good to hear from you Sheryl - I'm watching you on the preggie thread you know. Huge congrats and hope all is going ok.

Hi Summer - how are the boys and Daisy?? What't the latest with Tom?? I really don't know how you do it - I'm useless when any of mine get ill (never did get my sick baby badge!!) so how you keep going with everything is beyond me.

Hi Baby - how's Liberty?? Put any more weight on?? What's the latest with the dietician/gp?? Oh - sorry, just read previous post again about your appts coming up at the beginning of July. What a pain about the soy formula - it is pretty rank though. My friend's little girl used to have it and I didn't think it was great at all. Love to all and keep me posted.

Hi Joanne - how's life with two?? It's amazing to think that Lucy is two months old already!! What's the latest with Shaun?? With a bit of luck Lucy with grow out of her lactose intolerance. My friend's little girl (see above message to Baby!!) grew out of her's at around 18 months I think. She kept having to have a lactose challenge (where they gave her lactose and sat back to see what happened) and eventually she was ok (she's also now a hale and hearty nine year old!).

Hi to anyone else that's still lurking. Hope all is well and that our nearly two year olds are all being, well, two year olds

Love to all
Ali

Well we started Liberty on the duocal, only to find after 2 days she had bright green diahrea (sp) so we stopped giving it to her but it all meant that at the dietician appointment she was back to 19lb 8oz back to square one!
The dietician was worse than useless-make sure she eats regularly and sits in a high chair... the usual rubbish because of course we are too stupid to have thought of any of that. Her suggestion was to add butter and sugar to all possible foods and to increase protein intake.

Anyway-back to GI in just over a week and ped. in 2 weeks.

Good to see some of you are still around though I had difficulties getting on the site properly over the last week. x

Hi All
Lucy is doing ok not used to nappy rash etc as Joel never had it & now Lucy does mind you she suffers terrible with sweating as she is a chunky baby but doing well in a couple of weeks we will introduce her into the world of nursery as i have decided to go back to college in september my interview is 1st Aug i'm looking into social work... Got news today that my tummy tuck will be done in April around Lucys 1st birthday... As for me & Shaun were doing ok its a year this weekend we met OMG & we have a daughter lol.... Joel is doing well am planning his 2nd birthday went on woolies website yesterday & ordered over £100 worth of toys hes having a thomas the tank scooter, little tikes coupe car & some other things also going to buy him a slide his walking is going really well & he certainly is an outside boy plays for hours with other kids which is fab.

Baby sounds like your having a nightmare hun Joels not a big eater & sometimes i struggle i hope you find out the cause etc very soon does Liberty lack energy or anything????

Hi girls

Hope you and your little ones are doing well, just wanted to pop on and let you know i had my gender scan and finally after 3 boys (who i wouldnt change for the world) I'm expecting a pink bundle !!

Baby thanks for your lovely message will have to catch up with you all soon

take care

Sheryl xx

CONGRATULATIONS Sheryl
I know exactly how you feel-for us having a girl has been soooooo different and I am still in shock that she actually is a girl-she is the boss of all her brothers and has them playing with her dollhouse all the time!!!!! Babywise she was the opposite of the boys-they were all easy going and laid back but she is extremely high maintenance-wouldn't change her for the world though!

Hi all

Just a quickie to say hi!! Sheryl - great news about a pink bundle!! You'll be able to indulge yourself with this one - lots of little dresses and the like!!

Baby - how is Liberty doing?? Any progress on the weight front?

How you doing Joanne? Read your posts on Lucy's thread a while back - you're really going through it hun - big hugs xx

Anyway - news from me (and no, I'm NOT pregnant again!!). Went to Florence the other week and dp asked me to marry him - aahhhh!! So we are getting married on 27th June next year and it is all very exciting and abit scary! Now in the midst of booking things and thinking about colour schemes and the like!!

Hope you are all ok. Speak soon.
