    Hi

    Been busy as per usual, have a lot of work going on and a lots to do with the house. Our pool was poured (concrete) yesterday and I have to go down twice a day to water it hehe, they are also doing all the gyprock on the house and it is locked up, so another step closer

    N is doing great, she is consistently rolling from tummy ot back again which is great, but has stopped trying to roll the other way *sigh* one day....

    We still give N a late feed at about 10:30pm, but unfortunately it has been me waking up during the night *SIGH* N has been waking between 6-6:40am with he first feed between 7-8am after the late feed. So I think we have a pretty good baby. I do the dummy in the early morning too. Once she has been on solids for another month we are going to bring that late feed forward, just 15min at a time for a few days, but is she starts waking at 5am we will go back to the previous time when she was sleeping longer. So I think it will be a while for us before she is "sleeping solidly" for 10 hours or so. A few mums in mothers group have had bubs sleeping through from very early.. lucky them

    Huge Hugs MT, it must be so difficult where you are at the moment, I was looking at the images on tv last night and the ferocity of the fires is just hordendous, the matchstick trees, especially when the fire headed down a gully, the were all bent over as well, the power generated by that firestorms is just uncomprehendable.

    I started donating blood about 6-7 years ago when I was working for the government and we were paid to do it, well just our time was covered. But I continued when I left, then after a while I switched to donating plasma. wish I could go back and donate my plasma, I used to go in fortnightly, if you don't know plasma is where they take the blood out, separate the plasma, through a machine and pump it back into your body, it take longer then donating blood and they take out more blood at a time, and the plasma can be used for a heap of different things. Where a blood donations can be done every 3 months I could do the plasma fortnightly But you need good veins for it a they need to stay open for a lot longer. Once I have finished bf'ing or cut back to 1/2 feeds a day I will be right back in there

    Beckoes: Glad to hear that Grace's temp has gone down, N had pretty big lumps on her legs after the last lot of Imms.

    Mel: looking forward to seeing your website up and running

    Sasha: I hope the early morning wakeups stop for you quickly!!

    MM : I agree about the looters - that is just sooo low grrr!!

    Squidpa: It is fab to see the outpouring of generosity aroudnt he country, amke ya proud to be an Aussie

    SB: keep safe!

    Must run the munchikin has awoken!! Early!!

    Vic, sounds like N is sleeping great! But I hear you on waking up yourself.... I have these full on dreams that wake me up, happened last night although Beth slept through... at least I didn't have to get out of bed though!
    Sorry for no more personals, gotta get stuff done but BBL big to all

    Bec - I would consider G to be a good sleeper ... my first literally woke every two hours and I was surviving on 2-3 hours sleep a night for a very long time! #2 and #3 woke a few times during the night, so I think I have earned a sleep-through baby!! Although he's been a bit off the last couple of nights - I think a combination of teething and his big brother throwing a toy truck at his head

    Heard on the radio this morning that about 13 mill had been donated so far ... I wish I could donate blood, but unfortunately (besides having a baby and b/fing) I have anaemia and with all the low platelets etc during pregnancy, they won't let me anyway

    Hmm MM, I wonder if my low platelets would cause me probs with donating.. they are back to 148 now, not quite in the normal range but close enough

    Vic, prolly not, I think it's just cause all my probs compounded increase the risk to me!
