kim - my AF isnt here yet n i dont know when to expect it. this makes me worried everytime we dtd coz i'm SO not ready for #2. hence, i try to avoid dtd all together. then again, its not fair to dh. *sigh* i really do have to start ready my BM book again. last time i tried to follow it, we got ella! lol hope it works this time though.

rhi - i know what u mean abt those financial woes. altho' our head is above water at the moment, this housing rates biz is not good. so hard to find a place we can actually afford comfortably. fingers crossed we will find a place of our own soon as we are currently renting. we've got a couple of issues to settle n i really hope that we can remain n buy over our current unit. that would save me a lot of mucking around n packing up. i hate that...anyways, i got this musical parrot for ella for xmas. talking abt cutting her nails!! i'm SO scared of snipping of her finger as u mentioned n i wished i didnt have to trim it BUT i have coz they grow so fast. faster still if you've been cutting them....did u notice? wow @ ur work place. i hope u really can work something out.

ali - congrats on the car...been thinking of getting a drastic haircut as my hair is long at the moment but since u mentioned that short hair is easier to pull, i might give it a miss now! :P

becca - haha!! well, ella's been accidently pulling my necklace but i think it's only coz she isn't aware that it's there to pull? once she knows...oh my...nice to know that u're getting things all sorted out.

sara - hope all is well at ur end dear...

sonia - well, hope we too can meet up some day eh? dont think so much abt the feeding. i know what u mean abt feeling guilty. i nvr knew i was formula fed until recently coz i was in n out of hosp -that's what mum told me so i'm trying my best to bf as much as possible but i do notice that ella fights with my boobies sometimes. it nvr occurred to me that maybe it's slowly getting less. have to pay more attention to that. as for finances, i SO getcha....but somehow i believe that no matter what, things will work its way out some how coz God doesnt hand us obstacles we cant overcome. sorry to get all religious here but that's what i really believe. so hang in there ya'll!

ever since ella found her fingers, her dummy is no longer her bestfriend. she hardly ever wants it when she goes to bed n most of the time, i find her with her thumb plugged in her mouth. thing is i dont want to encourage thumb sucking but at the same time i know that it's the best self-soothe way. so i'm in kind of a dilemma. dh said the only thing to do is put something foul on her fingers so she wont chew on the but i think it's just a baby thing discovering their fingers, toes n whatever they can lay their hands on. but what is your take on thumb sucking...? other than that, still no rolling over from ella just yet but she is finding her little gym mat more interesting. now if only she would take her hand out of her mouth so she can TRY to grab something up there!!

u know, i feel so envious how come of u can bf in public. up till today, i still havent done so. i normally bring ebm with us when we are out n about. i feel shy and too wary n conscious abt the ppl around that i dont think my boobies would work!! i'm trying to convince myself that it's not wrong if i cant bf in public, u know? how many of u are bf in public?
