Hi All!

Pee- My girlfriends 16month old girl doesn't even weigh that much. She's very short. Last length was 66cm. Some of the MHN can make fast assumptions. Anyway from what Alana's dietition has said, the first type of solids that you give babies is there to just fill them up. They don't necessarily have any nutritional value. Its the formula that would be doing all the weight gain.

Dachloster- I do similar to Spiddles. We also use dummies. Alana settles quite well, we generally don't need to do much. Sorry not much help.

Spiddles- Alana's not even 5kg yet, so Ryley doesn't sound to bad. But he's very tall. Does that run in the family?

Marcia- Yay for Hudson! Soon you will be chasing him all over the house!

Anyway Alana is doing well, which is more than I can say for her mum. I have been feeling really down lately. I'm having trouble sleeping as I can't stop thinking! I have found myself crying at the drop of a hat. DB parents are driving me nuts, and it causes me huge anxiety when we see them. I find that I can't sleep the night before we see them. And because I am feeling so stressed I have become so saddened by Alana's CF. I was handling everything so well and now I feel like I could just pack a bag for Alana and me, and run away. Things weren't meant to be like this. We have a councellor that we can contact through Monash, so I was thinking that maybe I need to talk to her. I've never needed to do councelling before, so I feel a little weird about it. But I just don't know what else to do. I just don't feel happy at the moment.
