Sorry to hear about the hassles getting birth certs in NSW, what a pain! I think we got DD's in about a week.

I am feeling like a whole new person today because DD slept for 8 hours last night! WOo hoo! SHe did 7 hours the night before that and 6 the night before that. She really seems to have the hang of night time now, and I am getting a few day time naps too. She really seems to have turned a corner lately and is much easier. She can entertain herself a little longer so I can get a few things done and she doesn't mind the pram anymore as I am taking her out in it a lot more. She is still very refluxy and gets a lot of wind but seems much happier. And she smiles and talks all the time and I love it! Of course all of this could change at any minute but right now she is doing great!

My boobs were killing me after going 8 hours without a feed and I woke up totally soaked! It had gone right through the breat pads and bfing singlet I was wearing and milk was everywhere!

Roya - it must be so hard managing a newborn and a toddler at the same time. We want more kids and I have no idea how I will handle it!

danda - I have found the baby bjorn a lifesaver for food shopping. We are heading out later today to do that!

jen - thanks for your comment about Catherine, we just love her little smile! Amber has grown sooo quickly! DD is still in some 0000s and she is older than Amber! And how exciting to get a laugh! We get noises that sound like she is trying to laugh, but she can't really do it yet. I can't wait for that! I'm glad to hear that Amber is getting better at sleeping during the day; that much make life much more enjoyable for you!

esme - DD does a lot of little spews too and always has vomit on her no matter how often I change her clothes! I think she also struggles with my really fast let down sometimes. Often it has started before she is even on the boob if I am really full! Poor little thing is probably drowning in it!

ash - isn't it amazing how fast they grow and how strong they are already? Good on you for keeping up BFing.

sue - woo hoo on such a great sleep!

Bek - welcome! Kody was born on the same day as DD!!

Hello to everyone else, sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I have been reading! It's just too hard to post with a little limpet hanging out over my shoulder!
