Hello all!
Sitting here typing two handed thanks to working out how to use my sling properly. I love it now... Celeste wasnt keen for the first little while but she's asleep now so I guess she thinks its ok. YAY its so much more comfy than the baby bjorn.

OMG Nik .. I think your MIL is being a bit unreasonable saying you cant go away for a weekend. Its not like you are moving OS for crying out loud. It's only a few days. My MIL wants to visit every weekend and I feel thats too much hehe. My folks have only seen Celeste 3 times as they dont want to crowd us but I feel they could visit a bit more. I will ring them in a min to see about this w/e.

I weighed Celeste today and with a light weight romper and a dispos. nap she is 4.45kg. That means another 420g in a week Yay for Celeste! Normaly I strip her but she was asleep and in a sposie which weighs less than our cloth. (using up the gift ones before she out grows them) She is the smallest at mothers group too though. *sigh*

Jo. do you have a link to your facebook so I can take a peek at Sophie?

Oh, horray today was the first day in the last 15 that it was under 30C. Well, I think so but it still felt pretty warm. Will have to watch the weather. Oh for some rain. We have only had 2mm rain this year so far. Half our garden is DEAD. Nursery is going to love us this winter with replacing everything.

Good one April on going away. I'm not brave enough to do it yet but are planning on trying in a few weeks time. Celeste's hammock which she sleeps in every night is portable so it should work ok. Need to get a new car first. Cant fit more than the pram in our Daewoo hatch. Going to get a commodore wagon in the next few weeks if the bank lets us

Oh poor you bindy with the pooy bed. yuck. Celeste did the first poo in the bath this morning. I was just standing there thinking she had been in for a while and wondering when it would happen when... pfffttthhh. Pretty funny. I got her out quick though so all ok. hehe.

Maz, I hear you on the let down!!! In the mornings.. far out! And she can only really manage one side first thing too so the other side is bursting by the time she needs it. I use cloth pads sometimes and they just cant handle it either.

Big news here (sorry for those this will annoy/make jealous) Celeste sleeps through the night now. She has been sleeping for 6hours or more for a few weeks now but we have managed to get the timing right now so that she will sleep for 8 or 8 and a half hours from 10 or 11pm . So nice to not get up at all. At the mothers group today the CYH nurse said only 48% of 12month olds will sleep through so I reckon if a BF baby does at 8weeks its pretty good! After the first 3or4 weeks of hard work Celeste is a dream baby really. I am so lucky and keep wondering how long it will last. I guess she might make up for it as a teenager?
Im thinking of getting her off the colic mixture if I can too. Im a bit scared to do so yet. She only gets about 3doses a day of the homeopathic stuff so I think thats not too bad.

Well, hello to everyone. Hope things are going well for you all.

Hugs from Sazz
