Hi all,

Well I got the swimmers and they were so cute, buy Livvie didn't like the water very much. We were at Emerald Lake and there were lots of kids in there splashing around and she cried. She was only in there for a about 10 mins with DH. She looked so cute in her rashy though hehehe

Its SO hot today - 43!!! Not looking forward to tonight, but having a casual one. Just going to a friends house and they have evap cooling but their house doesn't get much of the sun which is good. I am having a sober one - but V your ****tail party sounds like fun I want to see some photos when you get a chance

I am going to give Olivia some more food at 11. I will break up her bottle to see if that works a bit better so giver her bottle - food - bottle. I can't believe she is 6 months next Monday!!!

We are going to NZ in 2 1/2 weeks - I don't know what sort of things I need to take. Is there any special travel accessories that are good and worth buying?

Hi to everyone and a big HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Jem - thanks for the info about Kimbaz's website. i did a search om her name and found the site - Beyond Belly - and got a swim nappy. Anyone else who wants one - get in quick. The suppliers have discontinued them so they are on special but limited sizes. Tom will be sporting a lime green one!

Flossie - you bring back memories for me! We used to swim at Emerald Lake when we were kids. i loved it - we practically spent all summer there. Dont worry - Liv will get used to the water soon. It is hot here today isnt it. 43degrees is just horrible.

Well we arent doing much tonight - just a bbq at a friends. Dont even know if i will make it to midnight . Tom woke up heaps last night - or rather kept crying out in his sleep. I think its the heat - or he is having nightmares about mummy feeding him more of those disgusting solids.. he really isnt impressed by them!

Sacha - i know - RatFace.. Its horrible, i just keep saying it. He doesnt even look like a rat..

Happy New Year everyone!! Hope you all have a great night!

Oh ta for the kind words guys
Mel, I think DH wouldn't mind me getting pregnant right now actually. I originally wanted to have at least 2.5yrs in between kids but it took two years, an operation, and a lot of awful tasting herbal formula to get Autumn happening and I am 35 this year (2008) I know it's not that old for having babies but the risks do go up. What if it takes a long time again? What if I can't handle having two really young ones close together on my own all the time? What if, what if, what if. I thought that at least I couldn't make a decision when I didn't have my periods back but like Veronica, mine have just put in a return appearance even though I'm still breastfeeding twice a night! So right now, I'm thinking I'll wait until she is at least one before TTC but who knows whether I'll stick to that! lol

How'd Olivia go with the feed Flossie? I'll be having a sober New Year's too. DH is away and the weather is so windy and rainy I don't think I'm into going to family or friends so I'll probably be snoring at midnight unless Autie has other plans.

Em - lol at Tom's dreams Have you tried just putting some food on the tray and letting him play in it? Or just coating the spoon and giving him that to explore?
