    Thanks girls
    WE dont have a capsule so I think I am going to have to try the sling.
    Ash has been really good so far today. You would not believe at what a stuff up trying to get this baby bonus claim form done has been. So I finally get up to medicare today and the lady is going through the form and comes to the part on the backpage that the hospital filled in. They put her birthdate as 9-3-2003!!!! This would make her 6. I said to the lady that it was pretty obvious this is a human error and she could see I had a newborn, but no, I have to go back to the hospital, get them to change it and intitial the change then go back to medicare! Grrrrrrr!!! I almost broke down in tears in the office, but controlled myself.

    Nai- You poor thinkg, you prob built yourself for DD to get it done only to be told to ahve to get it sone somewhere else.

    Meg & Shell- Hope your babies make it up to you by sleeping well tonight.

    Amy- So glad that Heidi has settled in well and hopefully DS sleeps well tonight for you. I dont know how you girls do it with more than one!

    Det- I think you are right about getting out. DD and I both seem so much more relaxed if we have been out of the house for a couple of hours. I do feel so slack to my dogs as I cant take them for a walk when I take DD in the pram, I am worried that I wont have full control over all 3 of them.

    to everyone else.

    Yep I agree Ali. The day is much better if we just get out and do something. Entertains Ash and Em usually sleeps cause shes in pram or sling. Em should settle for the night, usually does unless she has wind, bit unsettled at moment. Thats a PITA bout the form, I better check mine before I go anywhere.

    Nai- Why couldn't GP do it? How annoying. Did you have to wait long, last time I was there with my nephew we waited 6 hours to see a Dr.

    Meg- Yeah maybe call the paed yourself, might be able to do something over phone or fit you in somewhere.

    My poor friend has just had a 3rd m/c. She going to specialist next month for tests. She has no prob getting preg just keeps losing them. I feel so bad for her.

    AJP - haven't got to using the cloth yet - still trying to convince DH that they are better.. sigh - type prefolds into you tube and you will see videos on how to fold them (much easier than trying to interpret the written instructions). Yep have got the infant insert, just got to figure out how to get DS in there easily.

    Shell - sorry to hear about your friend.. that suxs big time.
    Ali - love the photo - just gorgeous!

    spent the afternoon around at the MIL so that DH could have some down time, although A was soo clingy he didn't even want a gran cuddle.. although we had a small poospolsion on Gran (hehehe) and only about 30 minutes sleep in 6 hours, so I'm hoping he will sleep for more than 2hrs at a time tonight, so I'm off to bed (sorry no personals).

    Shell- it was a major PITA. Def make sure you check it. Your poor friend. We also have friends who are struggling to fall pregnant and are going through IVF and havent been successful. It really does make me realise how lucky we are to have these gorgeous babies.
    Jols- The playschool concert sounds fun! I remember going to one when I was a little girl and I loved it. Cant wait to take DD to things like that. When do they start sleeping through the night???
    Tarkine- about the poopsplosion on MIL! Ash did the same thing to my MIL in hossy. MIL put a pair of booties on her that she knitted and 2 minutes later the 1st meconium poo was all over them!! Ashlyn was like how Alexander was in regard to staying awake for hours and hours on end. My MCHN said babies at this age are only awake for about 1 hour at a time and she was wrong!
    Kaz- How did you go at the appointment? I hope they found what was wrong and how to fix it.

    Hi girls,

    Haven't had a repeat of the other night thank goodness. THanks for all the hugs! Leon has been so so sooo clingy and attached to the boob constantly. Okay so today it goes like this: feeds at 6am, 8:45am, 10:45am, 1:45pm (wow, longest gap!), 3:30pm, 5:15pm, 7:30pm (finished at 8:30pm and is now sleeping! ) Keeping in mind that in between settling and burping and changing...I've hardly had any time to do anything today PRAY for a good night!

    Ali, I'm like you I only give one side per feed so I'm sure he gets the hind milk.

    Gosh you all chat so much, I'm so sorry I can't keep up!

    Nai, just saw your post! That is so awful that they've got you jumping throuigh hoops to get your poor DD treated. Hope it gets sorted out asap.

    AJP have fun at the play school concert!

    Oh gee, can't remember what else has been said. I recall pooplosions, hammocks, unsettled bubs. I'll be back tomorrow to catch up properly! Leon's awake

    AJP- Enjoy tomor, Ash seemed to enjoy when we went last week, got to leave Em at home cause she fed just prior to us having to go.

    Nai- If you lived near me I'd send you to my Dr, they did the stuff on Ash with no probs. Maybe try another GP in your area, someone should be able to do it cause apparantly its a common thing in babies.

    Yeah it was the friend that was preg at the same time as us. It makes you mad sometimes that all these drug addicts can have babies yet all these good people desperate to have one go thru all this crap.

    Waiting for Em to go to sleep so I can, no point putting her down and trying to sleep when she'll just cry! Had her asleep, gave her to Df while I did few things and she is wide awake!

    Ali, what a PITA - I would have cried

    I had a mini-meltdown about the Dr. I rang them first to tell them and they said go to the chemist next door before the appointment and get the stuff so I did. I drag a screaming baby who hasn't slept all day and a whingy toddler who is doing my head in up there and the chemist tells me they don't stock it and haven't for years! I just about lost it so I went in next door to the Dr who looks at J's belly button and swabs it to make sure it isn't infected and then writes me a referral to the RCH. So I have to take that to emergency and wait god knows how long for them to see her and maybe do something about it. I will do it on a day when G is in childcare as I'm certainly not doing that with 2 kids!
