Thanks Trish. I just felt bad for venting in here but I guess you are right thats what we are here for.

today has been a good day. Olivia is back to normal, no grizzling this afternoon at all. even happy to go in her swing. I even hung out some washing admittedly very fast and came upstairs twice to check on her. she was asleep and i had the other half of the monitor on me.. she is squealing happily in her swing brewing a poo. for some reason she has pooped 3-4 times a day every day this week.. most weird..

Boys are downstairs playing in mud and water much to my disgust but they have been feral today so they can do what they want outside and when they come up it is warm shower and jammies time..

beef strogganoff here for dinner tonight.. Whats for tea at everyone elses place tonight?

LoriRae: apart from the whole solids till 6 months issue the extra work is a big thing for me. olivia has increased her feeds heaps in the past week. She went from feeding every 3 hours or so during the day to just varying times of sometimes an hour maybe less or going up to 4 depending on sleeps. I think so far today she has fed 5 times.. and will prob feed another 4-5 times before bed. I think she is just finding comfort in it as she doesn't seem overly hungry

Kts: I am enjoying the peace as well.. Its nice when you get it isn't it. Although I think I have a nappy to change soon so may as well do the bathtime routine while she is happy
