Hi Everyone

It is soo quiet in here! I don't know about you but I don't always get the e-mails of the posts.

Alioops - well done with the nappies, good on you. I think they are a great idea but just can't get myself organised. Congrats to DH for the job. I hope that it is good news that you are moving closer to your parents. Congrats for Emma's progress.

Sara, how are your studies and doula training going? Thanks for the suggestion on fenugreek tabs. I think we are ok at the moment but will keep an eye on it.

Kim - I think DH are just on a different wavelength to us and don't understand about MIL. It's funny because I find that most of the time DH's don't really know what is happening with the babies and everything is up to us, packing the car for a trip, knowing when the next nappy change is etc, but seem to be able to make quite big decisions like who is looking after them without discussing it with us first yet can't decide to change a nappy or what to feed them. My DH also doesn't understand why I don't want his mother doing his washing and ironing.... Good luck with the course, hope it goes well and Hayden behaves for his carer.

Scone, how is Jensen going with his weight? Ella has NO TEETH YET!! But as for chomping, with Myles, my Mum told me to pat him on the bottom and say no in a stern voice. He did it once and never again. Have to be careful not to react so they think it is a game. I was reading babylove the other day and remember it said to take them off the breast and not feed for a little while after they do it. don't know how practical that is.

Bec - what is Xavier having during the day? Are you back at work, could be he just wants comfort from you. Hope it has improved in the last week. let us know how you are going.

Ella is eating more food during the day now so is only waking twice at night which is a nice change. She is having three meals a day - cereal for breakfast, yoghurt for lunch and vegies for dinner.

Even though Ella is feeding less I am so tired, DH thinks it is because of daylight saving, but I just have this overwhelming feeling of fatigue, in my legs particularly and I haven't been exercising. Yesterday at 3pm I just couldn't keep my eyes open and had to have a nap, even though Ella was up. I just closed the safety gates to the kitchen and laundry and laid on the lounge. Lucky Myles was at daycare. I cannot leave those two alone, he is too rough with her and I would never forgive myself if something happened to my prescious girl. (I feel more bonded with Ella than I did with Myles but that might be because I thought I was going to lose her at 16 weeks when I lost almost half my amniotic fluid).

I have had a look at Flylady on the web, but now I feel like I am cleaning and washing everyday and don't relax. I am just going to put up with a messier, dirtier house and spend more time relaxing with the kids.

Sorry for the long post, needed to let some steam off.

Take care everyone.
