Just a quicky from me. I will catch up properly tomorrow. Have to ask. When your babies cry do they have tears ? Abbey's eyes go red and watery but no tears falling as such. Can't remember when the other kids had real tears. Maybe it's just that I don't let her get that upset.

Kts, I plan on making Abbey's food up fresh for her. As I said "plan" doesn't mean that it will always happen though. And when I have to give her jarred food it will be from the organic range. I think it just tastes nicer for them. As for us as a rule no I don't buy the organic stuff, purely as a cost thing. We have a hard enough time affording groceries for all of us as it is.

Liz, pffft sleep, what's that. Hope you had a good day after all your sleep last night. I am stuffed.
YAY on Kayla's teeth too. Abbey has chomped on me a couple of times now too. Doesn't tickle, but it doesn't compare with a 1 year old and a mouthful of teeth either

Janine, sorry to hear that you've been sick too. Hope you are feeling better now.

Carrie, because Gabe is bf he really doesn't need any other fluids at all. BM is both his food and drink Abbey didn't have any solids tonight, she fell to sleep early. Am taking our start to it all very slowly.
Unfortunately we won't know if it's going to be an ongoing thing for Abbey until next time. IYKWIM, the fact that it has hung around for around 6 weeks now though isn't a good sign for her.

Nic, that prednisone works great hey. I was on that at Christmas when I went to hosp, as that's what Abbey has been on too. Ouch on the coldsore. I get shocking ones too. Touch wood haven't had one in a while. Although I have a few times gotten one right in the middle of my top lip, causing it to swell so bad, like over my bottom lip. Looked like a damn budgie, had a 3rd degree infection in it. Not a good look let me tell you. And freaking hard to have a cuppa with. Sorry my sook.

Alicia, are her top teeth to be seen yet ? I can see Abbey's just sitting there. Her top gum is swollen. But I think they are still a little way off yet.

Nikki, half your luck on the sleeps. I used to get them, back at 6 weeks, but not anymore. Lucky you on going to Bali too. Great idea to go now while Summer is small enough not to be too much of a bother on the plan or on your holiday.
Sounds like she is growing nicely. A little chubba bubba. Very cute.
Abbey can sit up for short ammounts of time, not really steadily, but I have only just started sitting her on the floor too. Got a couple of pics of her doing it on the weekend. Will have to post them.

OK, seems that I caught up. Trying to keep myself awake for the big brother late show - can't remember the name. I know that the minute I go and sit on the lounge to watch it though I will fall to sleep.

Have a good night girls. I hope you all get some decent sleep. I can hear Abbey in there coughing again. Hope she doesn't wake back up.
