Hi Jacki,
I'm not sure when I will go back to work. The finances wont hold up if I dont go back to work. But with the daycare, the costs involved are huge. I know it is 50% tax deductable but you dont get that back until tax time. I will have to seriously start thinking about it though.
We used the Rafferties cereal. I have tasted it and it isnt too bad at all. I have heard farex is terrible.

Hi all,
Sorry, not many personals again.... Too difficult to get behind the computer overhere! Hope that all the sick bubbies and mothers are recovering well! And so happy for you Ash for seeing some light at the end of the tunnel! Keep up the good work!
Last week Jasper got stung by a wasp on his cheek when we were walking to the shops. He was in the hugabub and all of a sudden he started to squirm and scream. I had a look and there was a wasp on his cheek! Luckily it flew off without doing more damage but DS had a very red cheek for a day! At least we know that he is not allergic to wasps...
We are still enjoying our holiday; trying to catch up with everyone and doing some sightseeing at the same time. All this in between Jasper's naps as he decided he doesn't want to sleep in the pram my mum has overhere... Lucky he does sleep a little bit in the hugabub, so we do get out and about a little. He is all over the place with his naps; last week we had him on a 2 hours awake and than 1.5 to 2 hour sleep pattern during the day which was heaven, but the last couple of days he gets tired and grumpy after just one hour and than sleeps for 45 mins. He also wakes for at least one if not two night feeds again and he is grumpy for a lot of the time... Hopefully he will settle when we get home. Not trying to hard to change anything at the moment. He is trying to stand a lot and sometimes refuses to sit if you want him too; he arches his back and screams; looking forward to the toddler tantrums... We will wait with solids until we are home, but he is definately showing interest and tries to grap our drinks and food.
Sorry girls, that's all for now... Wish everyone a good week!

Hi Everyone,
Esme -- Poor Jasper! I am a big girl and I hate wasps. Hope he is sleeping a bit better for you. Also hope you are enjoying your trip. When do you return home??
Jen / Jacki -- I have returned to work just working a shift on a weekend on a casual basis. Its good because I get paid, have adult contact and a bit of a break from my 3 but I miss them so much when I am at work, but we really need the extra cash!
The party went well, he got some lovely pressies. Most of the Mums just left the kids with me and then came and got them at 5.30 when it was finoshed! I was a bit surprised I was flattered that they trusted mebut I wouldn't leave DS1 at a McD's party by himself just yet. Anyway no major dramas which was good.
Prama -- how are you?? Haven't heard from you in a while hope you are just too busy to post!
Bun -- how are you. How is your DD sleeping?? Have you seen the paed yet or the chiro? I hope there has been a bit of improvement
DD is watching intently while we eat and is a bit constipated so i think i might give her a bit of pureed fruit soon. The fun begins. It is another thing to do but they do pull the most awesome faces when they try new things he he
Hope everyone is well

Hi Everyone,
A bit relieved today thought i was pregnant (YES I KNOW) but I am definately not. Was starting to really think I was -- I feel a bit sad as I know I won't be pregnant again but we really can't afford to have another bubba.
Prama -- hope Lakshman is getting better.
Minky -- tried a small amount of pureed apple last night with DD will see how her nappies are today.
Can anyone tell me how to post a picture????
Sue
