Fire thank you, you are a wealth of knowledge, as usual, may try some Zinc.
sarah phew! wouldn't want anyone to think I was going to 'top myself' lol. as for being a yummy mummy, I think I was well on my way, but I have now taken to eating everything in sight, and that everything all seems to be bad for me, if i'm not careful I will put all my weight (and then some) back on.
Zennie I use the Johnsons bedtime bath, and I was his (and our) clothes in Omo Sensitive, but I have been told by a paediatrician that you don't need to use soap to clean babies. I do bath him everyday though as he really enjoys it.
mgm I know exactly how you feel, I think at this point in time if friends of mine called and cancelled anything that involved me I would be shattered, and would probably end up crying uncontrollably.
Nettie I tend to have my shower at night too, it is just easier, although on the days that I want one in the morning, if there is no one home to listen out for Oliver, or he is awake and we are the only ones home, I put him in his bouncer at the bathroom door so he can see me and he is fine.

Oliver had a check up today, and in 2 weeks he has put on 400g so he is now 6.5kg and grown 4cm which means he is 62cm, his HC has also increased another .5cm to 40.3cm so no wonder he finally outgrew the rest of his 000's so I officially listed all his outrgrown clothes on eBay today.

Oh, and we have had to change back to our 'Jane' pram (exactly the same as the Emuljungas only cheaper) as we where using the Jeep Liberty Limited 3 wheel jogger but he hated not being able to see me when we where out, he is now happier while we are out shopping/walking.

Oh, and I also forgot to add that I went and saw a friend the other day and her 1 day old little man, and she had the newer version of the Angel Care sound and movement monitor (it is a digital one) and it was fantastic, no static and you can set it up so that it only comes on when noise is detected in babies room, it also has built in thermometer that displays temp in babies room on the parents handset, the parents handset recharges when it is in its cradle, so when I told DH about it he told me to buy one, and it was fantastic getting a non-static interrupted sleep, would highly recommend this product.
