I was about size 10 before preg...going shopping on tues i think to buy more clothes that fit! Last time i weighed myself i was back down to 60kgs...i think ill be lighter than that now.

    B_P: Wyatt seems to be doing the same thing. Granted he'll only do it when he's got no pants on. He only goes backwards at the moment. But tries to get knees up under him self. Will try and get photo and post, it looks rather funny...

    Well Just thought I would let you all know if today stops raining, then we will go out and buy some vegies for Wyatt to try. I have noticed in last week he has been watching everyone else eat. So it might be time.

    Also when Wyatt had no pants on he can also roll. He does it all the time now, and as soon as I get up to put his nappy in the diper bin, he is on his tummy. Granted I only put him on the floor.

    Anyway got the aftermoth of cleaning up. DH is sick he was up since 2am coughing at 3:20am he got up and slept on lounge. So tissues are everywhere along with blankets and pillows. Better go and get it done some I can come back on later.

    Weird, Benjamin just went to sleep without his dummy!
    He had a bottle (a full one no less), put him up on my shoulder to burp, he did a couple, then was nice and still, I checked and his eyes were still open but he was definitely drowsy, so I popped him into bed (on his tummy as normal), he turned his head from side to side a couple of times, then dropped off, then stirred, repeated the head turning, made some slurpy noises, and went to sleep.
    not gonna count bok boks though, I imagine as soon as I get in my bath (which is running) he'll wake for the dummy....but thats ok...if we can get him to drop off in bed sometimes without it, we might get somewhere, he can fall asleep in the car without it, and I think he's done it in the pram.
    I'm not gonna push push push it, I'll encourage it, but if he needs it, he needs it!
