Yes, supplement. I'm anxious to know his weight from yesterday to today. Post it once you weigh him.

Of course! Another 3 hrs until I get his weight. Maybe a bit sooner if my house calms down.

Right now my landlord is here with a plumber stomping all over the house. Sophie and babies are all safest in my room where it's clean and warm until they leave.

Has anyone ever heard of beaphar brand kmr? I have that in the house and similac stage one.

So everyone finally left and I was able to get a weight on the little guy. Yesterday he weighed 350 g (99% sure) and tonight he weighed 380 g.

I feel like a 30 g gain doesn't sound so realistic. But I zeroed out the scale and got a solid weight on him. It's possible that last night's weight was off by a bit but regardless, Im fairly confidant that he's gaining well and doesn't need supplementing. If anyone thinks otherwise, please let me know!

His birth weight was 146 and thirteen days later, he's at 380. He has more than doubled his birth weight. :)

Sophie was distracted when I took him out. I told her I was taking him for a minute and she saw me take him but allowed me to. When I brought him back, she was waiting at the door and darted right past me holding her baby looking for him. It took a few minutes for her to realize he was back with his siblings and now shes chowing down on a snack for being such a good sport :)

Well, question answered. He's not hungry - just a fussy baby. He'll grow out of it. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Kitties have got their hissers in!
I wish I got a pic!
My son went to look at the kittens. I was sitting a little back watching him and the second he leaned in to see them, 4 tiny hissers came out. All baring their "teeth" and trying their best to be scary.

It was so adorable!!!

2 week old pics... 

Pic beow is the porker that gave us all a scare. Im calling him Ramses for now. Hes such a pudgy little guy but its no wonder as hes eating 2x as often as his siblings! Hes also the biggest trouble maker of the bunch! Always climbing over his siblings while they sleep to get a snack. Squawking away when Sophie trys to clean him. Always play fighting with his brothers and starting up with his sister. 


This guy is King Tut. I cant quite pin down his personality yet...it doesn't help that I constantly get him confused with his brother, Pharaoh. 


Below is Pooah...the only girl in the bunch. She got a close up shot because I was worried about her eyes since they looked diff from her brother's but after looking closer, I think everything is fine and I was just worried because of the black around her eyes didn't allow me to see them properly. 

Its funny how much of a diva she is. Shes not as rowdy as her brothers and prefers not to be bothered and shes slightly slimmer than the boys...although she gets plenty of nipple time and knows how to fight for the good ones. 


Boys will be boys! King Tut and Pharaoh play fighting :)

I just noticed that my kids are crawling in head lice! Well one is infested and one is just at the start.

Is head lice able to also infest cats?

Oh, my! I've not heard of cats having lice, so hopefully no transmission.

Where did your kids pick it up? School? You'll need to let the school know.

I'm sure you are aware that EVERYTHING has to be washed in hot water: clothes, bedding, plush toys. And kids' heads have to be treated more than once.

I don't envy you this. So sorry. [emoji]128533[/emoji]

We are lice experts...The climate and negligent parents means that we deal with lice numerous times a year. My kids were on vacation for 2 weeks and oddly 10 days after going bask to school they are infested...I wonder how that happened...

The kids are both treated and combed and all lice are gone...For now. I check again everyday for a week after they have lice and then once a week after that for prevention. It's part of normal routine lol.

I'm just glad sophie and the kittens are safe! I don't think netflix and candy would work as well on them!

Wow! They get pulled from the classroom here in the U.S. and sent home. Can't come back until clear and head checked by school nurse. Notice is sent to the parents of every child in the class.

Actually this isn't true anymore in most states. And it's very upsetting. Since it poses no harm they no longer pull the children from school. And it spreads and is a pain!
