Megsmum - it is so much harder to type with bubs in arms isn't it. I have had to put Caitlin into the sling many a time as she wakes up just as I think I have some time to do a big post! LOL yes the parrot is coping well. I didn't see that story but I have seen small bubs with WC before and yep it does break your heart. Hope Emma was ok with the needles. That is fantastic weight gain for your little one also!

Misty - hope you are better now. Hope your weight loss is going well. I haven't weighed myself since just after I came home from hospital - too scared LOL. I don't think I will have gained any but not sure about losses... clothes are fitting much much better now so I am happy to go with that (for now LOL). Your DS weighs pretty much close to double what my DD weighs. Sorry to hear that it is a prolapse. Wow into 00... DD is only in 0000 and that is only because she is too tall for the 00000! Sorry to hear about your FIL

Cass - hope the Zantac is working well and you have been able to get some rest. Another one out of 000, I know it is because Caitlin is premmie that is smaller but I look at 000 and wonder if she will ever fit into them. I also have those 'why only me' moments... it has its good and really crappy moments.

Larne - hope Chloe is doing well on the Zantac.

Saffi - yay for clothes shopping... that is one thing I haven't done yet... shopping for myself. I am in awe of you! Ouch for stomach muscles hope it heals quickly and well for you.

Cheezel - ouch that is a hard work pattern to work with! . How are Peter's hips?

Koru - not sure about the vaccinations - if you haven't got info yet, check out the threads on BB re immunisations. There are many women who have looked into the separate vaccinations etc.

Megan - congrats for going to gym each morning... that is a fantastic effort!

AFM - had Caitlin's hip US yesterday and they said all looked good - have to get the Paed to review the report but he is on leave until mid October, so I couldn't get him to check her umbilicial hernia either. Have made an appointment for 20 Oct to pick up the US (left it there for him to review when he is back) and to have the umbilicial hernia checked. DP wants me to also get it checked by the GP until we see the Paed so will go to see GP when he is next on (have to ring to check when). Also I started Caitlin in the cloth nappies today . I finally worked up the courage to start them and she also fits into the NB covers now (finally). We had a shocker night with nappy rash - I had put Curash cream on during the day and it made the nappy rash worse... there were only a few spots so I put the cream on to get rid of it but it seems the rash spread to anywhere I put the cream so I then put moo goo on but the rash was beyond moo goo's ability to help.

I was going to put sudocream on but couldn't find the container and then a few of my fb friends advised to use bepanthen so DP went out to get some and ta dah this morning it is pretty much all gone!! The rash was causing her some discomfort when she wee'd so we were doing lots of nappy changes over night.

Today I am in a so so mood as yesterday was really hard with Caitlin being really unsettled so today I put her cloth nappies on and it has cheered me up somewhat

Hope you are all well - Caitlin will be weighed again tomorrow
