hey qlders, send the rain down here!!! we had 41 degrees today and no power

ugh.

Serah, Em hated the jolly jumper. Sarah loved it. i think we will just put it away this time and let her use her free standing bouncer, also it is a bit safer with Sarah running around.

I am thinking about starting part time work. more for my mental health than anything but we shall see how I go. I need to rewrite my resume.

Hi all,

Kim I got paid for the first time in 6 months and it felt sooo good. sure beat the piddly amount that centrelink gives me, which I might add decreased despite the fact I'm not earning anymore that I already quoted them. go figiure.
This summer is the first time in years I have gotten sunburnt and it's because I kept forgetting to organise me. you spend so much time organising them that when you do finally leave you realise you forgot yourself.
JJ's can cause feet and hip problems if bubs spends too much time in them and if they are at the wrong height. They should be flat footed and not in it for more than about 10-20 mins per day.

sehra, I agree I need all the sleep i can get, for weight loss, you do only need about 600 extra calories per day while bf so you can watch what you eat rather than dieting. the last month I have been so stressed and i had some days were I seemed to not have enough milk I just stoped watching what I ate.

misty lol no one ever say that old gummy joe has a cute smile like they do about bubbas. Maybe you could start a new trend. We have started sollids, with farax wich is the rice cereal (we have baby rice 'cause he's only 5 months) I try to feed him around tea time. He goes about 4 hours between feeds so if he ate at 5 I aim for 6 for solids. if he ate at 3-4ish I still feed him at 6. if his last meal was at like 2pm he will be hungry for boobie at 6 so I give him that first but although you are supposed to give bb first, that doesn't always fitt with wats happening. I use bm to mix, and sometimes find that he gets a taste for the bb milk and wants more right after the solids.

ali you poor thing no power. it was about that here too and when we got home from work it was 39 degrees inside urgh. What sort of work do you think you will do? have you got someone to look after the girls or are you looking at some form of childcare?
