Well, I’m so far behind! I’m not going to even come close to doing personals for everyone in one go, so I’m just going to go with the flow a bit.

Sacha – I do sometimes feel like a bit of a failure because he doesn’t sleep through
so it’s really nice to hear that someone else has a baby that doesn’t sleep through. And whilst I’m mostly with you because I enjoy those moments overnight when it’s just the 2 of us, sometimes I wish that I could have more than 4 hours sleep in a row. Liam also drinks like he’s never been fed before in his life, so I kind of think that he’s still waking for a reason.

Flossie – welcome back, it’s good to hear from you. Re the swimming lessons, I’m not planning to start these just yet, cos I’ve heard mixed views on them. I think my thing will be something like Mini Maestros for him at 6 months, cos this doesn’t require me getting into bathers iykwim!! My mum & Dad have a pool, so on the hot days I’ll probably just paddle him around in that for some fun.

Dani – you sound like you managed Oscar’s injections really well. It’s weird, I was fine with the 1st lot of needles but I’m really not looking forward to the 4 month ones. Think that this is because I took him to the Paed for the 8 week ones, & I loved the paed so I knew it would be all good, but it’s off to the council for the next lot, and I don’t know them, so worried that I might get a dragon nurse who’s really rough with him…I hope you enjoy the wedding this week, I think you’re very brave leaving him for a night, not sure that I could do it, even with my Mum..

Nicky – new signon! Firstly, I’m so sorry to hear that your MIL’s cancer is back, that’s terrible news, have my fingers & toes crossed for her appointment tomorrow. Well done on the BF, it’s great that it’s getting easier for you, and obviously working for Lachlan, cos he’s growing really well from the sounds of it. He’s .5 cm longer than Liam was at 4 weeks, and only a little bit lighter (my munchkin was 6.8kgs)

V – yum for the caramel mud cake. I’m currently addicted to mince pies from Bakers Delight, which is really bad, cos they don’t help my waistline one little bit, and they’re expensive, well, they’re expensive when you can eat as many as I can, although I am trying to exert some self control by only buying them once a week.

Mel – I think you’re doing a super job managing your foot & 2 little ones with your DH being away. I like that you’ve bought yourself a “fighter” fish.

Em – how did the haircut go? LOL at the ponytail everyday – thought I was the only one who was this lazy, I swear that Liam doesn’t recognize me with my hair out..

Megan – you poor thing, it sounds like you’re having a rough day. How short did you get your hair cut? Will it make a difference once you’ve slept on it & washed it yourself, or is it a real disaster that can only be grown out? Isn’t it awful how a bad haircut can make us feel so miserable. It won’t make you feel any better, but once, many years ago, when my mum had a bad hair cut, she picked my brother up from kinder, and on the way home he kept sneaking looks at her, until he said “Mum, your hair looks funny, but I still love you…”


For all those who have photos of their bubs, I’ve been checking you all out, and I have to say that we have a marvelously gorgeous group of kids on here. I look at Liam and I can still see him as he was the day he was born, but he’s turning into such a little boy now. I love all the new things he’s doing, but kind of wish that I could slow the days down a little bit. His latest skill is blowing fart like noises from his mouth, an extension of his dribbly raspberries, he just keeps his lips shut now. Hysterical, and if I’m in another room sometimes confusing, not sure which end it is that I’m hearing….

Anyway, I’ve been on here typing for way too long. I wanted to be in bed by 9 tonight, so I could get a couple of hours sleep before someone wakes up, but that hasn’t happened obviously. thank goodness I'm just bumming around at home tomorrow, might find myself having a nanna nap in the afternoon if I'm lucky.
