I`m down in Sydney for the day and so much has happened here.

Shannon - Good Luck with your 6 week appointment, as you saw I just had mine last week at 8.5 weeks as when I rang and asked for my appointment in 2 weeks (Matthew was 4 weeks at the time) the receptionist said it would be when Matthew is 2 months, later I gatherede my OB must like to see his women at 8 weeks in the hope they have stopped bleeding but as it turned out I had AF and was still bleeding, I told him that but he said a little bit of blood doesn`t worry him so I had my pap done plus he checked to see if my pelvic floor was aok, is this a normal routine checking the pelvic floor???? Yes Mark`s Dad death is still unsolved, perhaps I hadn`t mentioned it with everything else going on - Ken has just taken up spear fishing in the last 18 months and the day he died he was going to come with Mark`s Mum to see us but at the last minute decided to go spear fishing as he hadn`t been for a few days due to the weather conditions anyway at first we were told that he possibily died of a heart attack but the autopsy showed no cause of death at all so it was then in the coroners hands where we were told that he had a mark on his forehead and some bruising on the back of his head, maybe from a boat hitting head, so this all went to the media looking for the owners of a yellow boat seen in the area, the owners did come forward but aren`t sure if they hit him or not, the other possibilty is that Ken had an epilectic fit and drown and hit his head on the rocks - nothing adds up to us as for one Ken`s not an epilectic, he doesn`t venture too far out to where the boats are and is always very careful, so as you can see it`s all unsolved. Sorry about the long details.

Joh - Welcome to the 1 - 3 month thread. Matthew does the same coughs after each feed and often when he`s just starting off, he drinks quickly plus I`ve also got a fast let down, he`ll be finished in 10 minutes but he`s also got a bit of reflux it doesn`t worry him but when it comes back out he decided he`s hungry again and back to feeding we go.

Belinda - Luke`s poem is beautiful. Let us know about your TTC plans. Mark left it all up to me but made it quite clear he wants more, I`m now at the stage where I`m really excited about having another one, I really miss being pregnant.

Fi and Nell - I had to laugh when you both have mentioned X amount of breeding years you have left that`s how we talk about our female cats , talking about that we got the bill in for our cat`s c/s and we were totally horrified at the price, it added a few more grey hairs!!!!!

Fi - Mark also mentioned to me he doesn`t want to be 50 with a young baby but that will be impossible with me as we`re 7 years apart, can`t see me having a newborn at 43. How cute of Jenna giggling such a lot.

My topic review doesn`t allow me to go back any further so I hope everyone is well and babies are well and hopefully sleeping.

Matthew has his 2 month needles tomorrow, my poor baby boy, brought some Panadol for him so will give him some before we leave.

We had a good trip to Sydney and back yesterday, Matthew is a very good boy in the car, I thought we better make the effort and see my Mum and her BF, our relationship will never be the same again after how much she has hurt me but as I say to Mark I can forgive but can`t forget and I want to make the effort for Matthew`s sake, anyway we had a fairly good day but Mum did make me a bit upset, we mentioned to her about SIDS and how your suppose to lay them on their back but the problem is the babies will develop a bit of a flat head like Matthew has, her comment was she wondered why his head was shaped like that and said she`d be sleeping him on his side, so now I feel like I`ve been doing the wrong thing and he should be on his side, his head isn`t too bad and I`ve read that once he`s up and about it will go back into position but if it doesn`t you have to let the Dr know by 12 months of age. So am I doing the wrong thing or not???

Take Care
