I woke up this morning feeling blah. I have an earache, sore throat, BIG headache and intense nausea coupled with alternating diarrea and constipation (oddly).

Holly is feeding really well and gaining nicely. She is now taking 150 ml per serving usually. My question is, does it ever even out where they start taking a set amount or will it just keep increasing until she is on solids? -- ..oO rach Oo.

This may be old news but I have *never* seen them there. They were in a really generic white and pink box that said "Pregnancy Tests" and there were TWO in there! There were TONS of them. I don't know how good they are but it would be worth trying at that price! Too bad I'm not going to be TTC...
