runnermum - we applied for birth certificate & medicare card at the same time so no you don't need to wait to get the birth certificate before you can apply for the medicare card. Did your hossie give you the paperwork?

Ren - I loooove it when Sam finishes a feed and has milk all over his mouth/chin. So cute. Sam doesn't sleep as much during the day any more either, I think that is normal and also good because then they sleep better at night. Good luck with the needles next week.

Jo - big hugs for you.... and Caleb. Hope he isn't too unsettled. It's awful seeing the needle go in just knowing they will cry.

Bon - hope Nixon has a better day today. He's such a cutie, I was looking to your pics on fb yesterday. Sam was really unsettled for around 72hrs after his needles so if it was us I would leave till next week or something when he's not as out of sorts. I would still ask doc though. It's awful when they are unsettled isn't it. I guess it gets easier when they can tell you how they are feeling. Big Hugs for both of you.

Been so busy lately, lots of cleaning & packing. We move into our new house on 24 April - 2 days before Sam's christening. Oh well - we'll get there. My Mum is supermum so she'll be a good help. The owners of the place we bought have agree to allow us to store stuff in the garage until settlement so that will help ease the stress of settlement day.

Does anyone have a bathaid? We bought Sam one a few weeks ago and he looooves it! His little legs get going and he kicks and splashes and he even gets the arms going now. It also makes it easier to wash his hair, although it is a little hard on our backs. So cute, except we also had anoher first, yep first poo in the bath. Lucky it was towards the end anyway so I could lift him straight out. Eeewww. Funny tho
