Lol at the strong babies, perhaps it's a boy thing? I remember thinking that Riv was strong, but Si takes the cake, he's rolling from his tummy and pushing himself up with his arms to look around.

Had an 'aha' moment today, couldn't figure out why Si is sleeping so much, but I think it's a growth spurt. A couple of days ago, the feeds were more frequent, so I think this might be the sleeping part of the spurt.

Hear hear on the newborn stage, the older he gets, the more I enjoy him. I just love interacting with kids, I'm really enjoying Riv (19months) at the moment, he's so much fun - and you just don't see much of a response from newies. People seem so shocked if you even hint that you don't love the newborn stage though.

As for the Mother's Days, those who didn't get anything, tell your partners to pull their socks up, you need to set a tradition/precedent early! And go all out for Father's Day too.
I got brekky in bed, kisses from Riv, a Justin Timberlake dvd, lunch on the couch while watching the dvd, and then a short snooze on the couch. We try not to spend too much $$ on it, leave that for birthdays, more have the day with a token pressie and lots of special treatment. So a noice day for me.

Zennie, just keep drinking water, and maybe even milo and aktivite. If it's just a temporary thing, your bub won't starve, maybe just grit your teeth til tomorrow...
