Just having a cup a liquid sanity too, Sonya... Need it in the morning; LOL, I can't wait for Jasper to go down for his morning sleep, because it means coffee and BB!

Cookie - we are on three BF per day; morning, after lunch and before bed. I kind of want to cut down, but don't have the heart... He just loves it too much, so we just keep going for a bit longer. If Alex loves his fruit, vegies and milk/dairy, I don't think you have to worry about his milk/formula intake as he will get enough of everything through his food. I have seen some similar questions in the bf/solids general discussion with some very good answers, maybe have a read back through them? Jasper doesn't eat much meat either, I just try to give him egg, dairy or tuna everyday with lunch to get some protein into him.

Sonya - I hear you on hearing every noise during the night for the first couple of nights when DH isn't home. I do the same. Just when you are used to being by yourself and start to sleep well again they get home... DP came home yesterday; so I am back to sleeping well. Only ten days (nine nights?) to go...

Karlie - So sad that MIL can't even be bothered to buy him a decent present... I just can't believe people can be like that. I am very lucky; my PIL are worth their weight in gold; they are there when you need them and even though DS is grandchild no. 7 he still gets spoiled rotten.

Prama - How's Poopy? Did he sleep a bit last night? Jasper might be getting teeth too, as his hands have not been out of his mouth the last couple of days and he is having nappy rash again. I have managed to get some Hylands tablets, so we are all ready for the big event!

It sounds like I am missing out on a lot of pictures as I am not on FB... does anyone know if I can have a look at your profiles without having one myself? I am afraid I might get addicted to yet another internet site, so have tried to stay away so far... BB is taking up all my internet time!
LOL, the mutts loved the lentils! I have never had them myself, but since they are high on protein, I thought I might give them a go. I have to say I didn't like them too much.... Have put a couple of spoonfulls through his vegie mix, but gave the rest to the dogs who liked it very much.
