Hey there Ladies

Just popping in to say hi

Sararose - your pics are just amazing - can I ask how much you paid - I have no idea what something like that is worth and I'm very interested in getting some pics done here also - PM me if you like or send me an email on FB if you don't want the world to know how much you paid - either way they are just fantastic, gorgeous pics

LL - so glad that mastitis has settled down a bit - this is a major part of the reason why I had to stop BF - I copped it 3 times in 6 weeks and 3 lots of AB's - we're now fulltime FF - we use Novalac but I would highly recommend NAN HA Gold - this is a little to strong for DD tummy for the moment - but I think we'll move her back to it in a couple of weeks - I used it on DS and never looked back - it's the highest recommended formula around - there is also another one called "Bellamy's Organic" - or something along those lines - its an organic formula and you can pick it up in Woolies - well here in Sydney you can - we use Tommee Tippee closer to Nature bottles and they are great - meant to reduce colic and have the same feel as a nipple - apparently - Z loves them - I actually went out and bought another 2 bottles yesterday - either way goodluck - don't have guilt I know what it's like to have other children (including husbands) to look after - maybe you could look at expressing and doing a few bottle feeds - this was DH can help....might be worth the effort and give your boobs a chance to recover

Otherwise all is OK here - I'm having some issues with Anxiety atm and just been up to the health food store to get a stack of vitamins - I'm taking a herbal anti-depressant - I;ve had this before and had great success - when I have a panic attack it effects my eyes so I'm hoping that I can get some relief - I just feel like I'm walking around with a fuzzy head and can't think straight and my eyes are all blurry and distorted and my patience is zero - especially with DS - I'm praying and hoping I can get on top of it all - I'm just buggered - I don't actually feel depressed though just can't seem to focus on anything - anyone else feel like this?? I think its the hormones leaving my system - i got AF back with a venegance this week so feel blah and the heat isn't helping either - OK enough whining.

Off to sleep school on Friday - I kind of feel like not going as we have actually overcome some of the sleep issues but I don't want to tempt fate and have issues next week - iykwim - oh well may as well go - its not costing me anything it's run through the hospital.

Hey Skye - does your hospital do anything like this?? I know you've been having some sleep issues with Mia - I went with BJ when he was 10 weeks old and got a heap of pointers that were really useful - maybe you Clinic nurse can help you - just a thought....
