Hey there Ladies

Just thought I'd pop in to say HI \/

things have been great - Brodie is getting bigger and stronger everyday - somedays I find it hard to believe that he is only 5weeks....he really does have his own personality and loves a good wrestle - SUCH A BOY!!! - but I just love it

He is weighing in at 4kgs now - pretty good considering he was jusst over 2.6kg when he was born - he has definately gone through a growth spurt - he eats heaps - like 120mls of formula (nor BF unfortunately - but very very very long story) every 3 hours like clock work and the cheeky monky loves to throw the odd random feed in and thinks that I have forgotten...for eg, he will eat at 7am, then may feel like a top up at 9am but then he will still expect his 10am feed (the original time he was to feed) - either way I'm not complaining - he was so little when he was born that he needed some fattening up - LOL!!

We seemed to have skipped a "dress" size also - for a long time there he was in 00000 (I know tiny...) and then all of a sudden he is in 000 today!!! - just fantastic - but bugger about all the 0000 stuff that he never got to wear

what more can I tell you?? there is so much to say but in all honesty I'd rather not harp on the negative stuff (food poisoning, UTI, Mastitis etc) - I'd rather talk about the Love of my Life - he is just devine and I just adore him.

He is still sleeping in his bassinet in our room but I think that he will need to get into his cot sooner rather than later - he is out growing the bassinet in length - I'm sure he will be TALL - DH is 6ft5 and I'm 6Ft - so we aren't exactly short in this neck of the woods.

well just wanted to say hi and touch base - you ladies all sound quite content and it is a definate change from the early days where we could chat online all day long but it is sooooooooooo worth it.

Laura - I never thought I'd say it but I'm ready to do it all again - I think DH and I will go for No.2 in the not to distant future - but let me get past teething and see if I still feel the same (??) - besides don't think I could do MS with sleep deprivation - Brodie will have to be sleeping through the night first I think.

Oh well gotta run - I suppose - but need to have a shower and relax before my BIG Man wakes for his next feed.

In the mean time - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEENA - Sorry it wasn't so fantastic but look on the bright side you have a ray of sunshine lighting your life everyday - besides if people forget your B-day - it will mean that you never have to get any older (oh to be 25 forever LOL - even I'm dreaming now - that was 6 years ago....)

ciao girls

hugs to all
