ARGH i wrote a big long reply to everyone this morning and then lost it!!! So this one wont be as detailed, sorry!

Bex - Glad to hear your in a high area, was thinking of you this morning while watching the news, how crazy has your year been so far!!!! My thoughts are with you and your community, and having been thru over a dozen cyclones myself i know what you mean about the shops being chaotic! Make sure you have plenty of fuel in the car and tins of food, glad Charlotte is being a gem and not adding to your stresses! Hows Vixen handling all the storms and having a new addition in the house?

Babyluv - Wow hun you are doing an amazing job with all you've been thru. Hopefully little Sienna is ok and all the checks are just precautionary. Remember each baby is different, and 200g a week is a fair bit especially if her little body is busy fighting something, so try not to stress about weight gain. I know it's hard but stressing will affect both you and Sienna, big hugs to you

Caixin - Good on you for persevering with BF, i sneakily took your tip of expressing after feeds to increase supply and am much happier with my milk supply now, thanks! I keep a dummy in the nappy bag mainly for the car if she wants feeding and we cant stop anywhere for awhile, but Georgia just doesnt seem to care for it at all, she prefers to stick her fist in her mouth instead!

Sunnygirl - I think we've all had at least one of those nights, it does feel better to know we're all having the same troubles tho hey. Hope things settle into routine for you soon, and that throat heals quickly for you.

Shelly - Good work on not even a graze birthing your big little monster! So glad shes being good for you after all you've been thru, and yay for getting the birth you wanted! Looking forward to reading your birth story, did your PPH have anything to do with your iron levels during pregnancy?

Kirsten - I'm not talking to you and your pre-preg weight. :P

Hi to everyone else, hope all is going well, sorry i cant do persies for everyone all over again!

As for us, were just starting to get into a 3hr sleep routine during the night which is such a relief, and my milk supply is slowely building up but i still need to express more than i seem to have time to. Poor little G has lost her voice, it worries me that i can hardly hear her cry but she doesnt seem to bothered by it most of the time, she's still very alert when she's awake and doesnt have a temp or anything. I was very unimpressed at only being 2kg lighter after birthing a 4kg baby but have lost just over 6kg now, 15 to go! Havnt got back into an excersize routine yet tho, tried the weight bench yesterday but was hurting after 20 reps so will give it a bit longer to heal i think. Tummy is back to about 16week pg size tho, although its very squishy! Stretch marks arent too bad and i can do up my shorts again, woohoo!!! I just posted my birth story too for those who have time for a read...
