Jess, yes, it hit me one day and I realised I had no "00" clothes so went shopping for heaps at Target, got 5 outfits and 9 singlets for only $50! They had a massive sale on and some clothes were $29.95 reduced to only $3!

I just got 6 huge garbage bags of hand me down clothes from a friend (for 2 bottles of red) and they are awesome! Some of them haven't even been worn!!! So I have Madeleine's clothes ready for when she goes into "0" and then have some "1" clothes too. I'm a very organised Mummy....lol

Madeleine is also outgrowing her "CRAWLER" nappies (Huggies) so we're buying "TODDLER" now....OMG, little chubber...

BTW, Jaylen is very cute...

Hi everyone!

Back from Perth and Addy has been very unsettled. I think a combination of travel, change of routine, weather etc her reflux has been getting worse so we saw the paediatrician this morning and started losec today. She also had her immunistaions yesterday. All in all its qute tiring and she is a lot of work at the moment. Have been eyeing up those swings on ebay cause I hear they are so good for reflux bubs, and it would be nice to have more hands free time at home.

So hi to everyone!

Karen, thats terrible to hear of your friends child passing away, its so difficult to know what to say or do to support them. Will arrange another catch up when Addy is a little more settled. Hope the reflux meds are good for Frankie too!

Better go and get some sleep, she is down at last (has hardly slept all day)

Hey ladies and bubs!

OK, Sazz, who's a size 10/12? pmsl I don't think I've been that size since grade 6!

Karen, that's very sad to hear about your friend's child. I used to hear stories like that and think how sad it was but it upsets me so much more now. I guess that's normal. How awful.

Jess, awesome pics of Jaylen on your website! Glad you had fun at your Mum's party too. Can't believe Jaylen slept at the speedway!!! Classic.

Mary, welcome back. Glad you had a good holiday. I'm sure Addy will settle down. Poor thing. Travel is tiring for everyone.

Bindy, that's great about all the clothes! I'm pretty organised here too. It drives me nuts if I'm not. Madeleine is out of the crawler nappies already? Billy is in Infant ones. I don't know what's next. He's long and skinny. Gorgeous little man.

Jo, I didn't realise BTK and Sophie were so close in weight. I was meant to have him weighed yesterday but was too tired to go. Will go tomorrow and see if he's cracked the 5kg mark yet.

Nik, feels good getting the house tidied up hey? I can't believe Amy slept through the vacuuming! pmsl!

Billy's been funny with his feeding over the past week or so. He just won't drink his morning bottles. Only has about 80 - 100ml out of them. I then realised this morning that maybe the teats are TOO slow now (god help me I'm so sick of trying different teats) so I'll try a faster one next feed and see if he's better on that now. At first they were too fast. Who knows!

Billy had his vaccinations yesterday. The nurse and my dr did them both at the same time so it was all over pretty quickly. He screamed for about 15 seconds then stopped. I cried. What a sook.

Um, what else can I tell you all? OK, time to fess up... Michael and I have been seeing each other. I've told a couple of people and nobody has yelled at me so far, which is nice. Things are going really well but just taking it VERY slowly. Billy and I are quite happy where we are so nobody's moving anywhere just yet. It's very nice to have him around, for Billy especially. I realised just how much of an impact pregnancy hormones had on my feelings towards him and that's probably why I pushed him away in the first place. However, his behaviour has been less than wonderful and he has admitted that. We'll just see what happens.

I've just emailed my local gym to find out some prices etc. I feel so disgusting. There's no way I'll ever get to a size 12 but as long as I'm fit and happy, that would be nice. I owe it to Billy to be healthy and to be able to do things with him and to keep up with him too!

Well, I know I've missed people here. Sorry. I hope to be on here a bit more now. Don't know what happened over the past couple of weeks. I've just been really, really tired. Oh, have to have blood tests because of that too. Dr says that they need to check due to all the blood I lost during the delivery. Maybe I'm low on iron or something. We'll see.

Well, going to make up some bottles and see how he goes with a faster teat.

Back later.

Love to all.

Jess: I've been going to the gym too about twice a week, my mum has been minding Bodie in the mornings. Have also been going for an hour walk every other day. Not weekends though, there chill out days hehe. It definately doesn't make you as tired and you've got more energy.

Mary: Welcome back! Hope Addy gets back into a routine at home and is more settled for you. I've heard those slings are pretty good.

Sazz: That would of been fun taking Celeste to the pool. I can't wait to take Bodie. We have a pool ourselves but it just hasn't been that hot this summer. I brought him those huggies swimmer nappies with nemo on them... so cute.

Karen: Sorry to hear of the terrible news. That must of been such a terrible time for them and for you as a friend. I couldn't think of anything worse. *hugs*
Isn't it weird how Bonds clothes are alot smaller in size than other brands. Bodie's into Bonds 00 too.

Jo: Bodie was the same with his needles too. Winged for the 1st one then screamed on the 2nd. Poor bubba's. Oh well they have to be done hey.

Anyways better go, going to put a pic up of Bodie on my ticker. OMG just realised it says Bodie is 3 months!!! It's gone soooooo fast.

There's only 4 weeks until DF & I get married!!! Arrrgh

April & Bodie xo

Kate, Madeleine was out of Infant ones ages ago, she's a chubba alright! After Infant there is Crawler and then Toddler...it's hard when they get vaccinated isn't it? I hate it when they cry hope he's doing ok.

Apes, good stuff on the walking! It's the best.

[Billy Ocean]

Bindy, right, I've got those nappies sorted now! ha ha! Billy won't be far off the next one's up, I'm sure! He's a bit grumpy today but that's cool. He's sleeping a lot but I think he was overtired before the needles so we'll see how he is tomorrow. Yes, it's not nice watching them go through that. Poor little things.

Long sleeps to all tonight.

Kate, Madeleine was a little unsettled for a couple of days but wasn't too drastic, I gave her some panadol when she got home and before bed that night, she was fine. I hope Billy doesn't get too grumpy for you. Goodnight xx
