Hi guys,

Sorry I haven’t been around lately. Things have been pretty hectic around here.

Cyn – our nurse told us as long as they have put on at least 100gms every week that’s fine. If you can maybe see if you can get him weighed this week and see how much he’s put on. So he’s almost put on 2 kgs in say 10 weeks so that’s around the 200gms per week which is fine!!!!! I think he’s doing perfectly!! As for sizing – I am a size 14 pushing a 16. I have almost been a 12 before so I guess that’s my real goal. I have lost 2.1kgs on my digital scales so I’m down to 80 – 14 more to go!! On my normal scales I’m 78 – almost pre pregnancy weight!! My MIL needs to be kicked to the kerb!! She told me that Danielle needs to sleep with her mouth closed otherwise she’s going to get asthma and she told me that she only put on 2 stone when she was pregnant with DH and I told her I put on 20 kilos and she told me that that’s way too much. Oh she also told me that eating lots of pasta helps loose weight – hellooooooooo – I think I know my body better and less pasta, rice, breads loose weight for me. She just opens her mouth and doesn’t think. I have to see her probably this weekend – bummer. My birthday is this Monday. Sorry for the rambling.

Hi Dee – bugger about the infection. Good to her Adrian is going well.

Kel – the Beehinds you need covers for. If you buy the package it gives you everything you need.

Hiya Mads – welcome to our group.

Fee – Cooper sounds like he’s going amazingly. I was worried Danielle was way behind in her growth but she’s only just behind Cooper in her 12 weeks measurements so I’m happy. Danielle’s a cancer baby too and she definitely wants to be needed.

Sounds like everyone’s going through was Danielle went though about 2 weeks ago. I’m sure they will all grow out of it – it just takes time. Danielle’s decided she wants to be clingy already. Every time we hand her over to my Oma, my Mum, my Dad, anyone but me or Ken she squeals and makes herself all upset and she gets the sniggers after she get handed back to me and settles down again. It’s like she knows it’s not me or Ken. But saying that she’s not like that with my SIL. She can do anything with her and Danielle laughs and loves a cuddle with her. All I can think of it’s because we see more of my SIL than everyone else. This morning she has woken up in the best mood. She woke up at 7am, had her full bottle and now she’s in her bouncer smiling and squealing and giggling. It’s so cute. I got some on video camera too. I try and get it so Ken can see it too. She’s a darling.

I’m off now. Deciding if I’m going to go out to see the Mother’s Group girls. We have a Monday with the clinic nurse who runs it and Thursdays for a general chit chat but it’s raining here and it’s cold and I’ve had a busy week I just want to stay home. I’d rather be over east where it’s nice and warm!! Have a great day everyone!!
