Megsmum - thank you. It would be busy with your other DD and her activities. I often wonder how I will go when/if we have another. Great news on the holiday, enjoy!

Misty - hope the worms treatments are going well. This might be a silly question but if Baz does have them would he be reinfecting the other kidlets? or is that null because of the cat situation?

Koru - ouch on that swimming instructor! Yep that would definitely not help the swimming lesson. We had to ring everywhere in our local area and we found one place that would start at 3months all other places were 6months. The pool that we go to isn't heavily chlorinated - it smells strong in the centre (they have 2 pools) but the one that the babies & toddlers groups are in is not overly strong... when we were in the water it wasn't that strong of a smell/feeling if you know what I mean.

Saffi - hope you were able to get out into the air con and that your DH is feeling better.

Issy - welcome! I have added your details to the front page - am I correct that Lochie was born on 30th Aug? Glad the breastfeeding panned out for you both. It certainly can be a tough road that BFing one. Looking forward to getting to know you better.

Big hellos to everyone else

AFU - going well. I am going to clinic this Thursday as I missed last fortnight - I think Caitlin is around 5.5kg which will mean 500grams in 4 weeks. She is a happy bubbly baby and her personality is coming through more now. She seems to hate the cloth nappies. Now everytime she has one on she screams blue murder... not sure what it is about it but I am hoping to sort it out soon... I don't want to have spent all that money for nothing. We are going up to Cowra today for a quick trip to see my sister. We will be heading back tomorrow evening.
