wow, good to see our group is back to it's antics (posting heaps)

Welcome back to those who have been missing in action

Would love to do catchups, but there was too much to remember now Theresa, hope it all works out with Em


What a trip we've been on. Left Tuesday last week for 3 nights in canberra. The KinderKot Jen bought a while ago, well even though it's won awards and stuff, we found a possible potential suffocation problem with it... particularly if bubs is moving about. Imagine a tent sitting on an inflatable mattress which is just smaller than the floor of the "tent", thus the floor goes down around the mattress before the tent rises up. If bubs got his/her head into that dropped area....

So jen slept with Jordy on the floor of the apartment we were in and went and bought a portacot the next day (got it for $50 too... - someone was saying they were looking at paying $89 at one of the sales... really they are all the same bar colours/type of material)

2 days of meetings in Canberra on the Wed/Thu and down the Albury on the Friday. Stayed in a really nice hotel there - the sign on the wall said it opened earlier this year, Spacious, warm, and very comfy. Jen had to do some interviews on the Friday night there, so the room was paid for by the company

Then to Melbourne on the Saturday, and on the Sunday off to meet the rest of the family. Everyone said a) how gorgeous and handsome he was & b) how much he looked like me

Had a few quiet days doing not a great deal but catching up with family and friends before leaving Friday morning. We tried feeding Jordy before we left - nup, barely even a single swallow. But 10mins down the road and he was screaming - with possibly the first time, real tears. We pulled into the Macca's in St Kilda, for a nappy change and bit of a feed. After an hour, we left and got to Tocumwal just after midday and caught up with 2 of the 3 of my aunts that live there. Then to Finley to see some of Jen's rels, who werent home... so next stop Wagga.

Had to stop in Urana when someone was cracking it big time again (about an hour??) short of WW. Stayed somewhere not too shabby there and finally got home around 4pm this arvo

Lessons... dont try travelling when bubs is changing there routine. We think Jordy is starting to teeth, and has been quite unsettled most of the week. He's been barely eating, and weeing HEAPS. Sometimes its every 20-30 mins he gets upset until his nappy is changed again

He is starting to sleep longer between feeds which is good, but it is hard work working out what needs to be done

Other than that, he is smiling heaps, really beginning to giggle and sort of laugh... And holding him under his arms, he can all but support his own weight on his legs - and he has just learnt what the reflection in the mirror is - anytime he sees one it's soo funny

Hope to have some new pics uploaded in the next few days


And hope everyone is well
