    Kristy.. oh hun you know i so know how you feel. I felt exactly that way after our trip to the towers this week and both Jesse and Keira were being little *****s all day. All i wanted to do was have a nice day out with you but they stuffed that up. And like you, i know its not the end of the world, but i needed that day out to keep my sanity.. lol well that didnt happen!!!! Im sorry they played up for you yesterday. I hope they were able to get some good photos for you. Sometimes would be great if there was an off switch hey! Hun, lets do something for you on Monday if youre free. If you want to go to the shops and get your bday pressie, lets do it! If you want to just come over here and we have nice fattening hot chip sangers from across the road, lets do that! Its up to you birthday girl. Dont stess too much about the house. Just tidy what you can, and leave the rest. (washing etc). And if they say anything, tell them to come and spend a day in your life and see if they still have the same opinion. I honestly respect you so much for being such a strong and wonderful person. I loose it with my kids at the drop of a hat! You are just so calm and just take it all with a grain of salt. I really wish i had your patience and could be like you. Give me a call or send me a sms if you ever need a chat or b!tch or cry or whatever. You know where i am also if you just want to come over, you dont even have to ask.. just come on knocking.. im here hun.

    Missy.. will ask her for you. My gf's DD's sticks out completely. Like you know those belly buttons that are just like a hole? well hers is the opposite. Its just like a nobby bit that sticks out. Its been that way since birth and shes now 5. Will let you know though.

    Mel.. oh really. Hmm maybe it is his teeth making him play up at night. Might think about giving him some panadol before bed tonight and see if that makes any difference. Yeh, if it works keep with it. The colic stuff seemed to help more than the infants friend for Keira but she still had alot of unsettled periods and would not go to sleep without you walking and holding her. Now, you can lay her down and she'll sleep. She only has little cries now when shes hungry thats it. So yeh the Infacol seems to work for her. I guess every baby is different and different things work differently for each.

    Keira's 6 week check up went well. Shes now 5.15kgs the little porker! And is now 57cm long! Tall bubba! Head is 4cm bigger since birth too.. again.. little porker! But CHN said that shes doing perfectly. Talked about depression. Did some quiz thing. But did tell her about my past 2 weeks and with that even taken into account ive come back with a score of 9 which she said was good. As long as its below 13 or something.

    Well both kids are asleep woo.. so going to try and sleep myself.

    Missy - Umbilical hernias usually settle by themselves within a year. Some take up to five years. If there is still an umbilical hernia after 5 years I think they consider operating. I don't think it's anything to be worried about - they just like to know about them to keep an eye on them and ensure that they are righting themselves.

    Kristy - Big hugs first off! You are an fantastic mum. I admire you and think you're an amazing person. I don't think I could handle having three little boys like you... if I did I'd probably be pulling my hair out and crying in the corner all the time. :P
    I hope your vistors help out around the house and with the boys so you and your DH can relax, especially you.
    Have a fabulous birthday and have as many wines as you like. You deserve it + more.
    I hope you guys were able to get a few good family snaps at least. I'm finding it hard to get my 4 1/2yr old and baby to co-operate for just one photo, let alone 3 little boys.

    We're all here for you no matter what. *****, vent, yell and scream, whatever you need to do to get it out.

    Pixie - It's not really one particular thing that's getting me down, I don't think. It's a mixure of most things.

    Hey everyone. Hope you had a great day and the weekend is finally here, not that it really matters to me cause DP only has sunday off every weekend. Blah blah.

    I wanted to say thank you all for being the wonderful, supportive, friendly ladies you all are. I'm glad I've gotten to be in your Belly group, and now baby buddies. I know I can always come here to get things out and you'll all listen and try your best to help anyway you can. I know I'm a bit crazy sometimes, but I can't thank you all enough for just being you.

    xoxo

    Hi everyone

    Well I had a pretty busy day today. I went grocery shopping, left Jonathan with my parents, as I wasn't sure that coles or safeway have infant capsules?? I forgot to ask & I didn't see any at coles in the one I go to. I then got home took grocery out, packed them away. Gave Jonathan his bottle, he was unsettled for an hour. I then did the laundry cooked husband dinner. Ever since Jonathan was born I have lost my appetite GOOD. Because I was such a big eater I would just EAT EAT & EAT!! But I think my appetite will come back soon.

    Kristy- Oh sweety I so take my hat of for u. You are doing such a WONDERFUL job. Don't let anyone put you down. I'm sure it is hard. I'm glad you can talk to us, we are to listen, not to judge. Wish I can meet u & give you a big hub. I had tears in my eyes when you wrote that, because not all people give a **** how mother's are coping. I'm so glad ur hubby is nothing like his parents. I'm really sorry that the photography session did not go well. And sweety have a great b'day 2m. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

    Tannis- Thanx for that sweety, I will try the olive oil. The cradle cap is ****ing me off.

    Missy- Yeah I love QV oil & the lotion it's fantastic lotion on his body, feels nice & soft.

    Mel- Thank you sweety, when you can no rush. LOL if he has got long hair why not, I'm sure it will cover his cradle cap, I would have done the same thing.

    Kell- Yayy for Keira's weigh, height & head measurement

    Mary- You must be rapt that ur hubby is home. Hope you both feel better soon. How's princess Izzy going?
