    We would love to! The Bear tells me once DD is six months old we can get baby ear defenders so we can fly her up to Queensland in a Cessna. Oh and the baby capsule will strap in to it too! PMSL

    Kell - OUCH! Poor thing. I've had a few near spills, but thankfully never actually fell. Hope your elbow gets better fast.

    Mel - Lol. I would have cracked up if my DP fell too,actually I'd laugh at anyone falling over or mistfortune like that. I feel so mean but I seriously can't help it.

    Belle - Good luck with your appointments this week. I hope all goes well.

    I just had this lady come to the door asking for donations for the heart foundation right.. I don't have any money on me (not that I can afford to give anything with the new house and all the renovation bills, not to mention a new baby.)... so anyways, I said "sorry, no" and she totally turned mean, her face changed and she started frowning at me. She was like "So you don't even have $2?" I didn't answer so she goes I can come back later in the week. I just agreed that she come back later in the week.
    I felt like a complete a$$hole for not giving any money.
    I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I know it's a really good cause and needs support like alot of other causes too, but I don't think she had the right to treat me like that.
    Grrr.

    Hope you are all had a great day.
    Sorry about my rant. I already feel like a bad person so way to go lady.

    SW - Sorry, we must have been posting around the same time. Hayden is awake most of the day, and then after a few days it's like he naps alot in the whole day like he's catch up on his sleep or something. Idk.
    xoxo

    Urgh - massive headache today... DH was asking is Alyssa was being grotty, but she hasn't. Just have a random headache. Been napping when she's napping but it's just not working.

    How many hours during the day are most babies awake now? We find that Alyssa is needing more and more entertainment as each day goes by. She's so interactive, it's all very cool (just not today with my headache

    Anyways, she's down for another nap now so gonna go take advantage. Mel - will email you that thang soon!! Promise

    Be careful what you wish for, it just might happen - I should probably get my butt into gear and get signed off a few multi-engined aircraft, that way I should be able to do Canberra to the Sunshine Coast in a couple of hours...last time we were up that way the weather was far from sunny - Sunshine Coast

    Beth is also getting a lot more interactive, she's now really reactive to music which really captures her attention - a few tactile things are starting to pique curiosity too, she's not yet manipulating things with her hands, but shapes and textures are definately interesting.

    Kell - Ouch!

    Belle - Hope things are going well with you today

    Tenny - Don't feel bad about it, a donation should be just that - if the representative is applying pressure to solicit cash from you then just send them on their way. I make charitable donations through various schemes that are offered by my company, so I don't make any cash donations on the spot...I might take the literature from an appeal rep and consider it when when making choices about where to donate, but prefer to make my choices without someone rattling a tin in my face. If they are getting really shirty with you then it might be worth checking their ID with the Heart Foundation as it's not unknown for people to shake tins in the name of a charity without any authority to do so.

    Yeah Tenny - don't let the old cow make you feel bad - it's supposed to be charity, not demanding money with menaces! I never give money to pan-handlers!

    Tenny.. hun i never give to charity that either knocks on my door or rings over the phone! So i wouldnt feel bad at all... especially if they were being narky! Makes me wonder if that donation money was actually going to the heart foundation!

    sw.. usually around an hour in between each feed, except in the evenings and during the night. Do you have a play gym thing? Keira loves hers and spends alot of time on it.

    Hi all

    Thanks for your well wishes for my appt. It went well, we upped my meds and have referal to see a psychiatrist that specialises in post natal depression and she said its good to see them now as 6 weeks after birth is when it usually gets worse. I guess I really hoped I wouldnt get this bad again, just unlucky I guess. I have been giving Tara one bottle of formula a day as my supply cannot keep up with her demand feeding so thankfully she is sleeping now. I saw the health nurse and she too has put on 1kg since birth which is great. The nurse also said that from 6 weeks they usually will be up for 1 1/2 to 2 hours all up from feeding to play to sleeping. Tara's already doing that and in the arvos she doesnt sleep at all but has a big sleep from 7pm or so until middnight.

    Friday sounds great girls, 10am at Castle Hill Towers at Kmart. Can I just confirm that the Towers is the bigger shopping centre?? theres two of them at Castle Hill isnt there?

    Hello to everyone I have to get some sleep but will come back for personals tomorrow. Love you all.

    I seem to have misplaced the grumpy baby Ive had the last few days & got someone else's happy contented baby I got to have a shower, breakfast & lunch and clean most of the house while she just lay down on her mat looking at the mobile & dozing.

    Kristy - good to hear about the boys weight gain. I have opened an account yet for DD but my mum has, we've just got a money box for the time being because we are supposed to be moving to Perth early next year so I wont open an account until we are over there.

    Belle - good to hear Tara has put on 1kg, if you need to talk add me to MSN most of the time if Im on BB Im on MSN too but appearing offline, Same goes for anyone

    Tenny - I agree with everyone else, with an attitude like that I wouldnt be giving them any money either. We have a couple of charities we donate to regulary and just those

    SW- I find if we are out or there are people round Maddi will sleep most of the time but, if we are home by ourselves she will be awake for a couple of hours then sleep for 2-3 hours then be awake for a couple more

    Hello everyone else Ive missed

    HELLOOOOOO

    Gotta be quick 90210 starts tonight. i just have to watch. yes yes i know its lame but i was addicted to the origional all those years ago. so i just have to watch.

    syd meet- 10ish is good for me.

    kell - do you wanna follow each other on friday? i can get to your place about 8.45am ish.

    Tennykins- how rude of that lady.. once whils shopping some guy asked my DH for a donation to sponser poor children. he told him "we have our own poor children and dont need any others" the guy was not impressed.

    SW- the twins usually stay awake for 1-1.5hours after each feed than sleep for 2-3 hours.

    went to the clinic nurse today for a baby check. it went well Sebastian is now 4.5kg and Caleb is 4.7kg. so going well considering their corrected age is about 6 weeks. they will actually be 11 weeks on wednesday.
    I actually spoke to her about the twins reflux. they get it soooo bad puke up all day, and its smelly acidy puke too. she recomended some gaveston infant, its a powder you mix into their bottle or water for breast babies. i gave it to them tonight and they seemed so much happpier and hardly puked at all after their feed, so hopefully it works.

    i opened my boys a bank account each today.

    so mostly a good day today might go wash nappies and bottles ready for tomorrow.

    Hi to everyone! god i love this site and i am also thankfull for all your friendship's

    catch ya
