Hi ladies,

I didn't realise I hadn't posted in here for so long! It's been busy! Have had a couple of not so good days with Amy. She's really grizzly and doesn't seem to be eating as much as she was. Apparently they reduce the amount they eat at about 3 months but I just wish she would eat more! But I just have to accept that she's eating what she wants to. I'm such a worry wart. She has a lot of happy time but then it's like someone flicks a switch and all of a sudden she gets really cranky. I've tried to watch for tired signs but always seem to get it wrong! Maybe once in every four times I'll get it right. this motherhood thing is tough! Hehehehe. But hey, it can't be peachy pie all the time can it!? She's been waking up at 4am lately and I have to settle her back to sleep. It's very tiring but I refuse to feed her then because I know that she's not hungry. Most of the time it's because she's managed to wriggle out of her wrap. I wonder when she'll be able to sleep without being wrapped.....i bought her a sleeping bag yesterday but it's a bigger size for winter. Anyway, enough from me.....

kokomo - welcome to you and Claire! Your little girl is one day younger than my Amy! This thread is great. A lot of us have been together through belly buddies so we can talk a lot sometimes! That's great you have the option to go back part time. My old job is in Brisbane and I don't want to commute so we're going to try to do the one income thing for as long as possible.

Bindy - I'd love to never go back to work but unfortunately the mortgage calls! Hehehehe. Am going to have as long as we can afford off though. Don't want to leave my little girl! I hope the 3am feed has finished for you! Ick.

Sazz - thanks for the reassurance. I'm not too worried but you do think about it when everyone else's bubs start doing things so early!!

Tascha - so glad your bbs have healed and Joshua is doing well :-)

Mary - I've heard those swings are really great. I'm tempted but don't want to spend anymore money!! Heheheh. Great you and DH got to have some quality time.

April - Thanks!! She does have heaps of hair and it seems to be getting thicker! I thought it was supposed to fall out! Bodie looks so big now and so handsome! I can't believe our bubs are over three months now.

lunesoleil - I love the name Amelie. Just beautiful. Don't worry about weight gain. Amy has never put on a lot of weight and she seems so happy all the time (except of course when she's tired or hungry!). She's only put on a lot of weight in one week since she was born. One week she only put on 90g and I was in tears in the clinic....but the next week she put on 470g! Bubs continuously test us but as long as she's happy she's fine. Honestly, if I never had Amy weighed I would assume she was fine. She's just not a big eater and she's ALWAYS wriggling and moving around so burning a lot of calories. That's how I explain it anyway. Plus Mark and I aren't big people either.....it can be genetic too.....I totally understand how you feel xx (Amy's part BF and part FF and STILL doesn't put on a huge amount of weight!! I had issues with my supply from the beginning....defective bb's!! Hehehe).

Ok, I'm going to have a cuppa with my DH now. Then we're going to see a friend in Brisbane! Hopefully Amy sleeps for the drive. Chat soon ladies! Luv Nik and Amy xx
