Hi girls,

AJP - We're not in cloth just yet. With everything else going on for me at the moment, DP and I decided to just use disposables until I can do more and we get used to all the other parenting stuff. I am not completely comfortable with the sposies but need to make life as easy as possible at this point.
NZ Girl - Hello! Glad to hear Heidi is doing well. I was thinking of you yesterday and wondering how things were for you.
Shell - That is terrible about your friend. I remember you talking about her earlier. I hope she has lots of support and that they can work out what is going on so she doesn't have to go through it again. Glad Em slept at gymbaroo!
Odette - you are a superwoman!! Can I steal some of your energy
Nai - that must have been so frustrating!!
Holly - Hope you get a good night tonight.
Ali - for you babe. It must suck not having your DP there much to help you settle Ashlyn. You did look amazing after your labour! Another superwoman!! I looked pretty shocking for days -you're lucky to get such a nice photo with Ashlyn only hours old. My appt went ok but I don't think my doc knows whats going on - I got some cortisone cream for the two different types of rash I have going atm so hopefully that will calm them down. He doesn't know what either of them are although I think the pre-birth one is PUPPPS and it's starting to fade. The post-birth one is a mystery.

AFM - We had another night last night with long sleeps between feeds. Mr. J was then unsettled in the morning and again in the evenings (seems like he only has one small sleep during the afternoon) but I can't complain about the last two nights. it continues but know that it won't. We had a busy day today and I got out of the house again. Firstly for a blood test - they still don't know what's going on with this fluid collecting in my abdomen as I don't seem to have an infection. It's freaking me out that no one has seen it before (being so far from the wound site). Then we went to DP's work to introduce them to Mr. J and then out to our block of land that we hope to build on sometime soon.

Ok, well I wish all of you a settled night with some decent sleep. I'm off to put cream on my rashes and then see if I can get some sleep in before the next feed.
