Mel: I thought I was getting PND for a little bit but, I think I was just really down about the feeding thing. I know its hard (esp in a car) but if Jayden screams like that I just ignore him and turn the music up a bit louder. I don't like to admit when I can't handle things and there has been a few times already that I just think I'm not cut out for being a mother of 2.....I definitely don't want 3 now haha. Thats great you had a good night out anyway! Just remember I am here if you need to chat....Oh I am coming down to the Sunny Coast 27/28 Sept. We should meet up somewhere, I'll find out what motel we are staying at I think its called the Oaks. We are coming down for my nephew's 1st bday but I am sure I can sneak away for a while

Kell: How's Jesse going? Jayden's temp was still up yesterday morning but went down pretty quickly, seems to be fine now. I didn't know that about PND that it sets in around 8wks I thought it was just anytime other than the 1st few days which would be baby blues. I think its not PND though just dealing with a toddler and a newborn, you, Mel and I have all got toddlers of similar age plus newborns and we seem to be having the same thought of PND so maybe its not that its just needing to adjust to a new situation....well I hope thats all it is anyway!

Tasia: I know what you mean about having enough! I just got a lecture on the way I spend our money....because I spent money from my account instead of the credit card. I'm not so worried about how often she poos I guess I just worry about how distressed she gets when she hasn't done one. She did do it 2 days in a row, so I think her system is just working itself out. I agree with Feeb, jsut go to another clinic if you can, I wouldn't want to tell the MCHN that I didn't want to see her. I am lucky up here as there is only 1 place to go and the LC that I see is fantastic. There was only 1 MCHN when I had Jayden that I didn't like at 1st but she turned out ok. GOod luck I hope you find someone you are comfortable with, is it what she says or how she says things do you think?

Mez: Thanks for the praise! I remember when I had Jayden and I didn't have enough time to do everything then....Its worse now of course but if you have good time management skills (which I don't!) things would be easier. Does Izzy bring up her wind easy or is that the the zantac is for? Do you burp her during her feed or just after?

Rach: Thats a lot of grandparents in one day! Well done for being the only ones organised, you and Geoff must be a great team!
Thanks Rach and Tasia for the praise too haha Your day will come when you have a toddler and a newborn...except you Tasia, Jonathan will still be a bub when you have your 2nd if your TTC soon.

Sal: What a great night you had! I'm trying to top Ashlea up at midnight or 1am so she sleeps through until 6am it is working but last night she only fed from 1 side then fell asleep and wouldn't wake up, so I had to express the other side (recommended by the LC), I'm hoping she wakes enough to feed tonight. No constipation since birth...but before the birth OMG thats another story! WOW thats a lot of poo haha

Missy: Thats great that Liam is smiling and gooing and esp that you think he can hear you! Ashlea smiled the other day (not a wind smile) She is also gooing a bit now. How exciting for Callum to have a freshly painted room, fingers crossed he stays in there. Not sure I have (or someone else) has mentioned but have you tried putting a gate across his door? I have that for Jayden otherwise he would be wandering around the house or in my room at night.

Feeb: HOw are you going?

We went to the Multicultural Festival today, Ashlea was an angel! I fed her before we left and she slept nearly the whole time we were there and if she didn't sleep she just layed in the pram not making a sound. Jayden was exhausted from walking around and because it was so HOT! He loved the animal farm and the aboriginal dancing. No plans for tomorrow, just finish the washing I started today hehe. I am going to try to have a productive day at home instead of doing nothing all day...I get in a rut when I stay home, I have no idea why! Well time to wake Ashlea up for a feed.
