Hi all,

Rhi, I hope you get her to sleep in her cot again, so you can have some time to yourself. Gee's you are busy on fridays. I had a day like that yesterday and started wondering why I was doing it.

Alison, yay on the 5kg mark, glad you don't have to go back to the dietitian. Woo Hoo.

Sonia, Xavier is now 13 weeks/ 3 months, and yep he still slumps a little. I have the chair reclined back as far as it goes and he slowly slides down and falls to one side, so it is really only temporary and you have to watch the whole time. So it's good for while we are having breakfast etc. I use his tray as a plate too He is getting better at sitting though. I think it has helped that he has held his head up very well since birth. He can't support his back, but if he's awake he has no trouble holding his head up. Lol at being excited to clean. Are you going to miss her while she spends the day with nona? and what a clever girl grabbing her toys.

Rhiannon, well done on the cloth nappies, I considered it, but i've decided I'm too lazy. I think I too would choose sposies for night, because I wouldn't want to deal with rinsing poo off a nappy in the middle of the night. I like a quick change and back to bed. I'm sure his boy bits will be fine darl, but I understand how scary it would be.
How crazy it will be to not be on the hmm 'receiving end' in the labor ward. I wonder if it will give you flash backs. You will have to let us know what it felt like from the other side.

Sara, eww pooed on, don't envy you there. have you tried a heat pack to help colby with wind. that worked for my sis. Do you find that your whole day gets mucked up when you go into town, or does colby have a good nap in the car on the way to make up for it?
Ohh that's good about the doula work. I hope it all works out for you.
Good on brent for his new job. Even if it's less money with a company car you don't have to worry as much about the cost of petrol, servicing, rego and insurance, and that really adds up.

Clair sorry to hear cameron might have reflux. it is good that your GP at least picked up on a problem and is referring you, a lot don't, but darl, what are you supposed to do for an entire month? seems a long time to wait for an appointment. Mums group was organised my my MCHN, maybe ask yours about it, some nurses don't organise them till they get a certain number of people with similar aged babies.

It seems like there are a few dress up parties at the moment. I'm off to a 21st on saturday where I have to dress as a childrens character. I am going as tinkerbell. Xavier is coming too and he is going as where's wally with his red and white stripy bonds suit and a pair of jeans on, and Nathan I don't know what he's doing. If he doesn't decide by tonight he will be a wiggle.

Well I'm sorry ladies but I have to brag heaps. My precious little man after sleeping so well the other night, on Wednesday night we were back to normal only about 8 or 9 hours. Then last night he slept from 8pm till 8am, my was I excited this morning. and get this he's having a nap right now.
His sleeping has really improved, and yet the rapid increase I'm sure is not normal, I figure while he's got a cold he needs all the sleep he can get. Besides we are going out this afternoon, so I want him to sleep now.

Now if only I didn't have the cold too.
