Hi Girls

Oh MG, I am so sorry hun... I did have a giggle at your experience with the microwave steriliser... I have checked mine almost everytime I have put it in because I seem to be on autopilot and forget that I have already added the water.
If it helps, I have locked my keys in the house 3 times now... thankfully, James and Madeleine have been with me (in the car, ready for school) and DH another time... I got them to jump in through a window that was thankfully open... the time with the older kids sucked, because we were already running late for school.
I think that pregnant brain has been replaced with baby brain!!! lol

Lol Emily!!! I hope that you and Ruby have a lovely shower

Kel - I think what you're going through happens to the best of us at one time or another... I am like you right now, I am having a few issues now and then with adjusting to going through the whole baby phase... DH and I were very used to having older children, and being able to leave them at home whilst we popped up to the shops to get bread etc... now, it takes soooo much planning just to do that. I am sure like me, you wouldn't take being a mother back... It can be a huge adjustment though. I look at Harry and he just makes me so happy that I forget how sleep deprived I am, and how my house looks like a bomb hit it... I wouldn't change this for the world. Huge hugs to you Kel If you ever need to chat, please feel free to email me anytime robandlisa@hotmail.com

Kirsten - Quinn is a champ!!! Good on him for letting you get some sleep!!! Harry is pretty good with his sleep patterns... but some nights, he must want cuddles, because he winges (not cries) until we put him into bed with us, then he falls off to sleep for ages... though some nights, all he wants to do is feed, almost every hour.

Ryn - Awww at your DS peeing in his mouth!!! Harry has done that before too (and got it badly in his eye!!) we are now a step ahead of him... before the nappy comes off, we have a folded up wipe ready to pop over his winky before it can do any damage.
As for my chest... Ryn, you are welcome to have the lot!!! My BB's are so huge and sore again... like they were when my milk first came in... all hot and heavy.

Hello and hugs to anyone I've missed

Me - I can't express!!! OMG, I hate my breast pump sooooo much!!! Has anyone else had problems expressing? any hints or tips? I can't seem to get letdown, either when feeding Harry or expressing... if I am getting letdown, I certainly don't feel it. I felt letdown with Madeleine and after having Noah... so I know I can get it, but I don't think it happens.
Harrison is going great... I can actually tell now that he is gaining weight... he is so cute!!!
He has these great big blue eyes, James says he looks like a little Prawn that is in Shark Tale. (I watched it, and he actually does look like him!!!)
