    Hey Lauren, Glad to hear that the movie went well. What did you go to see? About pumps. I have used electric pumps in the hospital when Ethan was littler - by a mile now. Anyways i found that the double one worked better as the let down occured on both sides at once. Also you dont have to spend as long pumping because you are doing both at once. It hurts at first but i found for the time that i did it - double was alot easier. I found the avent ones were good or the umm m something ones cant think of the brand.
    Goodluck

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks for thinking of me and being such a lovely bunch of friends!
    Well, as I stand atm,my lady Doctor isnt back from her holidays until the bloomin, 23/02so I?m just going to see our other family Doctor who DH & the kids use all the time,he`s got 4 kids & married,so I suppose he`s seen lots of boobs in his time. I realy would have prefered my lady Doc,but can`t put this off any longer,I only wish i knew what all the pain is.I will ring the male Doc in the morning to see if i can see him this week.

    Anyway enough of my probs!

    I don`t know if the weather has got anything to do with it,but kieren has been unsettled lately too,he`s only got 4 teeth,but looks like his getting more.He also screams alot & he`s really getting to me lately,sometimes i just have to go out side for 10 mins or so.instead of yelling stop it!
    I have our 2.5 year old starting pre school on Wednesday,I hope that morning goes ok,Iam not in the mood for screaming & tantrums,as DH doesn`t want to come with me,incase he really mucks up for both of us,pee`s me off,it`s like i have to do all the dirty work.
    Iam off to bed now hopefully,i might get some kind of news this week if Iam lucky,fingers crossed. Oh,I been arguing with eveyone the last week or so,not sure but i think Iam just a ****ty B!!!

    Hope everyone is doing alright & all the little ones are being good for their Mummies.
    Thanks everyone for just being here. Susan.xxxx.

    Lori - I hate it when people are like that about their dogs. My aunty is the same, last time I was at mums at the same time as her poor Olivia didn't get to explore (it was when she had just got a good crawl going) as the dog kept getting in her face and licking her (yuck!) I was pretty annoyed that my aunty didn't put the dog outside at all while I was there.

    Lauren - I used to take Olivia to the movies all the time but it is just impossible now. Once she started being more mobile she didn't want to sleep in the movie anymore, she wanted to explore the cinema. We still make it to mums and bubs sessions though and the cinema near us has one twice a week so it is still pretty handy. A DATE!!!!!!!!! So detail......

    Nic - Have a great day away. Sometimes a change of scenery is all thats needed.

    Hi to everyone I have missed

    I spent today cooking up a storm. I have some old friends from Uni coming for lunch on Wednesday and I wanted to try out some new dessert and biscuit recipes (they turned out to be very yum ) I also made a batch of cheesey chicken nuggets for the littles who are coming.

    Tonight Olivia managed to take 3 steps from me to her daddy. They were very stumbley but she was so proud of herself when we clapped her. I think proper walking is still a bit of a way off but she is on her way

    Susan - We posted at the same time. I hope you manage to get into the doctor soon. It makes it more nerve-wracking when you decide to go but then can't get an appointment.
