Happy 6 months birthday Diana

[~*Niadalla*~]

HI everyone,
Long time no see, but I thought I'd pop in and check on you all.
V - congrats on becoming a MRS. Hope its everything you dreamed of Glad ot hear the day went well.

Jessikah - Hope you're feeling better hun. Hang in there

HAPPY 6 MONTHS DIANA!!

How exciting! They are getting so big now!

Sara - we had a small weight gain with Lach a few months back. My MCHN said a gain is good. She said she would only worry if there was to be a loss. The fact that she is still content and happy, and that she grew 2cms, is good. She could have just had a bit of a length growth period and she may pile on the chub next time You are doing a great job. Try not to stress too much. Lachs small weight gain was 200grams in 4 weeks.... we were used to 500g in a week, so this was a huge shock. My MCHN wasn't worried and at his 4 month appointment, he had put on 800grams on 4 weeks. I have had supply issues too, but we have gotten ontop of them now. I am very happy about that. If you ever need to talk to someone, feel free to PM me or chat on MSN

Mel- How exciting that DH will be home soon! I don't know how you have gone so long on your own. I hate being away from DP for a whole day!
lol
Fran - hiya! Hope things are well

Sacha - yes I do keep getting up to check on Lach while he sleeps in his cot. It was so easy to hear him breathe and feel his warmth when he was in our bed. He is still in our room right next to my bed, and I am checking on him less and less every night..... I am going to move his cot to the other side of the bedroom( our bedroom is the size of a small unit! lol), and then we'll see how we go. I am not comfortable with putting him in his own room yet.... the plan was to have him with us for the first 12 months, but he's not such a baby anymore, so it might be earlier.

Has anyone elses bubbas developed a fake cough to get attention???
Lach is one cheeky bugger. He is crying much less, playing on his own for periods of time, trying to get his commando crawl perfected, and then when he rolls onto his back and realises noone is within half a meter of him, he start fake coughing! lol
I am trying to ignore it without ignoring it IYKWIM. He was doing it on the car trip into town yesterday!! cheeky. The first 3 times I stopped and got out, ran around to his door to check on im, and he got this huge grin on his face and let out a chuckle. hehe He is def going to have my personality!
lol


Well, I am soooo looking forward to Lach 's first christmas! He is one spoilt little bubba already, so christmas day he is going to look really bad!!! All teh family is coming out to our place for lunch and dinner. Glad we don't have to go anywhere.

We are also going on a holiday with PIL to Hamilton for a week, and we will be taking a day trip along the great ocean road. Lach will get to experince the beach for the first time in his life!
It's funny how such little things get you so excited.

Anyway, enough from me. People are probabyl wondering who I am, let alone knowing what the hell I am talking about!

Hope mums and bubs are all well

Have a great christmas and a fantastic new year if I don't pop on before then

Aye carumba! I've had a baby attached to my breast for three days straight! I can only assume it's a growth spurt and thank heavens I don't have obligations to be anywhere in particular! lol She is starting to go longer spurts sitting on her own so I guess it's all the new muscle use.

Happy half birthday Diana

DH is back at work for two weeks after his first two week stint home (used to be one) and Autie keeps looking at his side of the bed and at his chair in the lounge. He spoke to her on the phone today and she started panting and tried to tongue the phone

I'm making tropical trifle for our family christmas eve food-o-rama. And pavlova. I'm not that keen on fruit cake or pudding but trifle...mmmmm, trifle. Such a weird mood I'm in - probably having a sugar rush. Can't seem to concentrate on anything for long. Bye!
