Morning girls,

Bec - Yep they are following each other too a tee are'nt they?!?!?! How you going with the BF? Is Xav still putting on weight?? Colby went down at 8.30pm lastnight and is still sleeping now. Its 7.45am. Seeing as she had her needles yesterday she might sleep a little longer! I think i might go and wake her soon as she will need a feed. Plus 12 hours is too long to leave between meals to keep my milk up. I am really panicky about losing my milk supply with her sleeping so long.

Kirsten - Oh dear! Your DH really did'nt cope well did he. Poor man. Colby does the same thing. I have left Brent twice now. Colby was sound asleep when i left her and about 10 mintues after i left she started. Both times! Lucky for him though his mum lives with us and she helped out with Briley who responds to Colby's crying and visa versa!!! I reckon that the babies can sense the tension and that makes the situation much worse. Making them cry even more. Your DH will adjust. He has too really does'nt he! You never know....you might get to your gym class. Do they have a childcare facilty there???

Kim - What a big boy you have there! He seems to be gaining weight very nicely. I am worried about Colby's weight a little too. Dr seems to think it all good though. My boobs would really hurt if i tried to jump on tramp!! I have naturally big breasts which make it hard to rum, jump or bounce at the best of time let alone while they have milk in them!!

Rhiannon - Yes the hospital does hearing test. Only this hearing test was for me!!! When i went for my 6 week check-up i told her about the headaches i was getting so she did a big check over on me. Well it turned out that i was little hard of hearing in my right ear so she said next time i come in to get a hearing test. I ended up cancelling my appointment as i rushed for time. Colby got her hearing test done before we left the hospital and was fine. Great to hear that Jensen is giving you a bit more of sleep at nights now! He seems to be becoming a little more content with himself. Bummer about the car though.

Shell - Briley is 16 months today and is finally showing signs of being ready for a big bed. Not that i am in a rush for the cot yet, Colby is doing fine in the bassinette. I am not going to rush her in it, we don't even have a bed for her yet. When we get one i will just start with day sleeps i think and go from there. Are'nt you scared that Holly will fall out of the bunk??? Obviously she will have to be on the top bunk. I suppose you could put up a rail. I'd still be scared!

Claire - I found that when i BF Briley, only for 4 weeks, she favoured the right boob. Not sure why though. I have heard of babies perfering one side to the other. Has you checked to see if the milk is still coming out properly??? If the music works to settle him....let him have it!!! At least this way you will get 5 mins to yourself!

Ali - Oh that excellent news. Emma must be on the mend hey! Fingers crossed she keeps it up.

Well we had a massive day yesterday. We took my cousin and her b/f to see a recruitment place and they both got jobs starting saturday. Then we went to get Colby's needles which were perfectly fine. She did cry but only a little bit. Not enough to make me cry anyways!! Then we went to the beach and had lunch with family till around 3.30pm and then went grocery shopping. By the end of the day poor Briley was buggered. And her gums were playing up too.

So yeah yesterday we got Colby weighed at her appointment and i think her weight had begun to plateu. She is still only 5.95kg. I asked the Dr if their weight starts to slow down now and she said no. Apparently FF babies grow much more than BF babies. This is all new territory for me now as Briley only BF for just under 4 weeks. I never thought about this sort of thing. I thought you just had to feed them and that was that. Mind you Colby is still in the acceptable ranges for her weight. I just thought she would be heavier since our last weighing.

Well this is a massive post. Sorry girls. I might not be in on the weekend as we are building a shelter for our new horse! Oh i forgot to tell you all about that! Later! Yeah and i want to lay a slab of cement and build a pen for our geese. They are well and truly into mating season and have'nt got anywhere to lay. We have been putting it off for ages so because Brent has an RDO this weekend we are doing that!

Ok ending this now! I have to go and wake Colby up...she is still asleep and its 8.10am!! Big sleep!

Hope you are all well...

BBL...maybe!
