Hi all!

EJ good on you for getting out the sewing machine! And congrats on 1000+ posts

Kaz, Pip sounds like he loves his new playmate hope your bb is healing okay.

Georgi… hm, I stepped on the scales this morning and could probably stand to lose 8kg. Six would see me at pre-pregnancy weight… which I will never get to if I can’t get past my addiction to Mars Bars!

MadB you can’t eat naughty food if it’s not in the house therein lies my problem. I went out last night after DH came home to fill the car with petrol (couldn’t do it with Millie in the car, it was too stinking hot yesterday) and just happened to pick up a Mars Bar. Whoops

As for us… went along to the parent group on Monday morning. It was packed as it was the first one back so we split into two groups based on the age of the babies. It was good to chat, and everyone seemed to be relieved to be out amongst like-minded company. Headed to the shops after that to get out of the heat and just wandered for a bit. When I got home Millie was overtired and very, very sooky… would only settle in my arms – on a hot afternoon! She has a high thermostat like her Daddy so even under the aircon it was like I was holding a hot water bottle! Yesterday it was even hotter so as soon as I got up and showered I took her down stairs and apart from a trip out to have lunch with my sister, we stayed downstairs. I was worried that she wouldn’t settle in her rocker but she was awesome. I think she liked being able to open her eyes and just see me there. We all slept in the lounge room last night and in spite of the cruddy air mattress we had a good night – Millie slept from 8pm – 4am and I got close to 5 hours, then another 2 this morning. Bliss!

So obviously I haven’t been able to swap her feeds over. I found at 10pm she would take so little of the feed that she’d wake up around 3 or 4 anyway, so I’m just following her lead. She’s pretty regular with 3.5-4 hours between feeds during the day and she’s stretching out night sleeps more and more.

I hope you’re all well and safe from whatever Mother Nature is throwing at your part of the world at the moment!
