Hi Ladies

Hope you and your Bubba's are all well

I was doing so well, keeping up in here and posting for a few days in a row and now i haven't been on for a few days again and im lost lol I have been bitten by the Gastro bug and the last 24hrs have pretty much been spent in the toilet (TMI sorry) It feels like morning sickness again!!

I got a little teary eyed lastnight as Ethan is almost crawling, gee the 9 months to get there here goes so slow and 9 months hasn't even passed yet and they have accomplished so much in such a small amount of time Dont know wether to be happy or sad lol.

All the talk about solids, i think ethan may be the only one not having them! I was naughty and gave Ethan his first taste of baby rice at 3 months, he didnt like it at all, but by 3.5months he was having vege's for dinner and occasionally i would offer fruit. When I changed Ethans formula to the Step 2 (he was 5.5months, 2 weeks early as i got the wrong one and didnt realise for a few days) He refused solids, but i was told that it was probably the change in milk as it is a bit heavier and probably a bit more filling too, so ethan hasnt had any for a few weeks now. I have offered but he is not interested and is still satisfied with just milk, once we move in to our new house i might start dropping a ff and giving him solids instead to hopefully encourage him to "dig in" again.

Well im off for a shower and bed. Will try to catch up with personals again tomorrow.
Goodnight

Hi everyone

Sasha - thanks for that comment re cc and "The Science of Parenting". I haven't read the actual book but I have read many articles that refer to it. It just sounds so logical, doesn't it? I personally think that you should do whatever works with your bub, but my mummy instinct always had a problem with cc. Diana is not a great sleeper during the day, I don't really see this as a problem. So I don't get the housework done - big deal...

Megan - thanks for posting those tired signs. I realise now that I miss some of Diana's. So that's why she doesn't sleep much during the day. I will be more vigilant now.

Rebecca - I didn't get a reason for the recruitment agent dumping me, but I spoke to my ex, who is also a recruitment agent, and he said that an agency can do that if they receive really bad feedback about you, i.e. bad references. I did not leave my last job on the best of terms, thought my boss was out to get me, etc, then when I was diagnosed with pnd, thought that it had all been in my head, but now I'm thinking that maybe not. So I am leaving my last job off my cv now. It's not like it was interesting or I learned anything form it anyway...

Hi to everyone else.

Poor Diana - she's only 7 months old and already her legs are getting too long for 00 pants. She's going to have long legs like her mother. Grrr, I was so hoping that she'd inherited the short genes... I find it so hard to buy pants that are long enough.
