Hi all,

Sara, yep tomorrow is even the exact date I told them I would come back. I think I would certainly be able to cope with staying home for another 6 months but that won't get us a house built. After paying for childcare, and the mortgage for our land all the money left I get paid will be going towards building, which should be about 1/3rd of my wage. I would like to be in our house by the time xavier is 2, and think that's a fine time for #2.

Kim, I will be getting up at 6am tomorrow morning. Some things are already ready to go, and fingers crossed it will just be me getting up and getting ready from 6-7 and then xavier getting up and feeding then dressing etc. I know it won't actually happen like that, but girl can hope.

misty, i hear you on the teething thig. stragley enough it is fil that keeps saying it. xavier has been chewing on his fists since about 6weeks old and has now started exploring ojects with his mouth, and for months now fil has been saying are you getting teeth, i guess eventually he will be right I just ignore it.
Xavier has some eat rash, comes and goes, but had it kind of bad behind his knees, so I just made sure i washed and dried there a couple of times a day, and it's gone now.
I'm sure you have plenty of bm still, it is probably just regulating. if you are concerened and want to express at those times wait for 45-60mins after the feed then express, if that still doesn't work for you there are a few other things you can do such as nipple stimulation, hand expressing etc in order to get a let down and make your body think you need more milk.

Is it possible that it is af but a light version because you are still bf?? Did Ella get fussy around that day, apparently some bubs get fussy with af. If your concerned you should talk to your doc though.

Well off to work for me tomorrow, boy am I going to be tired tomorrow.
