lea - good luck with planning the party hun ... hope you find some time to get things done and that gab settles down ... does she spew back much? does she spew on every feed? just asking cause Ali is a spewer as well but only every few feeds and never on the formula feed we give her at bedtime she only spews back on my milk ???

niamh - hope everything is ok with the belly button ... and that your little one settles soon ..

kell - oh hun big to you as well i can only imagine what it must be like and having the build up of sleep deprivation wont be helping either .... i can drive after next week - I could come visit you and try and give you a hand or a break .... anything to try and help you out hun ... you are only 30mins away from me thereabouts !

danielle - poor little tobias - hopefully the change in formula is what he needed and he can poop easily now ! so hard when they are this little you wish they could talk and tell you whats wrong hey !! glad you had a nice dinner though feels good to get out and about hey !


we are doing well. went to the hossy yesterday to visit new babies, a friend had a daughter kyla and then i saw two girls from my birthing classes as well and their little bubs and caught up with all the nurses and lactation nurses who were there and they all agreed how big Ali is now she has stacked on a bit of weight - not fat just chubby cheeked ! Yesterday was sooo hot here Ali was unsettled and sweating all afternoon and feeding every 2 hours not like her but thirsty weather .... this was her first hot day so a bit unsettling and now today is overcast with thunder this morning .... can never pick it hey.!

I managed to get out and do gardening yesterday for about 30mins to help DH ... felt good but wasnt long enough as Ali cat naps chronically of an afternoon ... in the heat from yesterday no wonder though hey !

Hope everyone has had a better night / day ...
