Im sitting here with the phone of speaker waiting for *$#@&%* AAPT to get me from hold (8 mins so far), so a good oppourtunity to catch up.

Go Zac on the sitting! It iwll be no time Storm before he's really good it; once they get the hang of how to move thier legs and balance, they can do it for hours. And I wish I knew what I wanted to be when I gorw up, it changes every few months Id love to work in policy for the govt or an ngo, but dont have much luck with those jobs. And now that James is around, not much interested in full tiem work anymore! One day...

Thanks for run-down on Kaitlyn's early morning Cass; its pretty much what we do, although I dont always do the nappy cos it gets changed at supper and they hold so much, and Im half asleep and such a bad mother 8-[ , and that might the clincher. It certaily worked this morning! Does Kaitlyn get really hot when shes wrapped? James sweats like a boxer, I wonder if its a problem somettimes. Would like to wean him off the wrapping, since he wont sleep now without it, so if he wiggles out its all over. Hmmm

Jo, Sammy is a champ on the finger foods! I must try James on more. LOL at Sammy trying to drink the pool - I guess its good for their immune system!!! Dont wear yourself to a shadow with all that housework! You are such a super-mum, keeping up with Sammy and those girls!

16 mins on hold so far....

Bec, ther are sooooo many good kids books arent there? I am such a sucker for them (but Im a book fiend in general anyway), I hope poor James likes to read when he's older! Congrats on your anniversary (remind me what the gift for 3rd is? Ours is in May!) and I hope you have a really lovely evening. Actually make that "had" because I hope you wont be rushing to check the forum in the middle of it! Unfortunately I dont get to see much of my folks being so far away; usually every 3 months or so. And they run an accomodation business, so find it hard to get away to come up here.....we are trying to get down there more cos its important they see James. Even more so since his other side of the family is all in Germany! DH is the only one who escaped from the village to come to Aust!

23 mins...just got to talk to someone who couldnt help me!! grrrr :fuming: back on hold

Well done on getting to yoga Soph, Im glad its helping you relax. No matter how stressed I am, I always love getting to a class, it makes me feel so much better. Mums and bubs sounds brilliant. And yay Lucie going under! Did she come up with that spluttery surprise look? Storm's suggestion about not watching is a great one. Its not the same thing, but when I look back at the times Ive had trouble with feeding James (usually with supply), the more worried about it I get, the worse it becomes and I just got all tied up in knots. When something distracted me, it usually came good again. I know its not the same, but the principle of not watching every suck is a good one! About the PND - it might be really worth following up with your GP or MCHN.

Fletch, Tracey, where are you guys this week? Hi to Zane and Indah!

30 mins, and given up. I'll do it from work tomorrow 8-[

We had a really nice mother's group today, but I think James is coming down with another cold (childcare strikes again), and he's always a bit unsettled after hanging out with the other bubs. And Im upset with myslef cos I got cross with him when he wouldnt eat dinner. Think I need some of Bec's yummy chocs!! (for me to feel better, not for the child!!) Wonder whats in the cupboard....chances are good since DH is on a diet!

Have a good night everyone, lots of good sleeping and eating vibes!
