morning girls just a quickie, i know i'm not supposed to be on here but like to keep an eye on you girls in waiting!
i've just done the 4am feed, yesterday was a good day...we even showed/introduced Lewis to the girls & boss at my work.....lots of cuddles and photos and he was loving the attention,alert and didn't muck up the schedule....discovered v.v, important!! now i'm expressing...gives a new meaning to hands free, let me tell you!!

just wanted to comment on the query re circumcision. my girlfriend had both boys done, i thought it unusual being 1. british 2. ignorant about the whys and wherefores . assumed it was cos their dad was - so i was advised, but only recently i discovered that generations of aussie boys have beendone.

as i said i've been ignorant about this, i thought it was only done for religious reasons, and occasionally health. but a conversation late in pregnancy with 2 aussie girls and they explained more. had NO idea it was sooo common here, and was surprised when i was asked about whether we'd do it. In my defence, in Britain, to my knowledge, none of my friends all who have babies, many boys, have had it done. it's not the done thing, it's the unusual. We're not, DH isn't, I'm going with him as I don't have one, but he said for what it's worth 'you're born with it, educate healthy attitude to hygiene, and there's no reason for our son to have it.' of course it's the same angle that a lot of men who've been done, feel it's the norm and so have their sons done, so i believe its' a personal opinion/choice, that everyone can give advice on, friends, and professionals...but it's up to the people raising the wee one.

sorry about the lack of punctuation and caps but every now and then the 'hands free' needs to be double checked!!

plse don't think i'm being judgemental,as i said, quite ignorant about it all...and I grew up here as a kid...two separate occasions! I was a good girl ;-) never saw one till i was back in UK ;-)

right finishing this expressing, it's for DH to do the 'dream feed' at 11pm so I canrest my poor boobs after their 7 feeds or so a day!

must go join the other forum...but haven't been on for a while....or near the computer, but new phone gives access and notifications so wanted tosee how you all going.
belly rubs, goodluck, take care xxxxx
