Sacha - 9 months of breastfeeding is an awesome achievement! You should be so proud of yourself. I know you would be feeling sad about the prospect of giving up but I also know you are in pain and you are tired! Best of luck with it all.
Nicky - Oliver has been having toast and other finger food for a few weeks now. At first he mostly sucked on the toast but now he 'bites' little bits off. He took to it fine, in fact he would rather feed himself these days. If I am spoon feeding him I have to give him his own spoon otherwise he gets a bit cranky! Regarding 'chunky' food I have given banana, brocolli, carrot sticks (cooked), small peices of squash, cubed sweet potato and he is also having pasta.
Looks like we might have a tooth very soon. I can see it just under the gum which looks a little purple with a little hole in it. He had a temp today and runny nose and doing awful poos! Oh and it is a top tooth! Who knows if it will pop through but this is his first time he has had all the classic signs of teething. He even has those little red dry patches on his cheeks. Does anyones bub get those? L used to get them everytime he was getting a new one through.
Have Mothers Group tomorrow. I'm really enjoying it and all the girls are so nice! It's been good to make some new friends.
I've started thinking about Oliver's first birthday party. Our babies will be 1 in a few months girls!!! I need to get the invites out a month beforehand as there will be quite a few people coming from interstate and I'm thinking of having it catered for. Well, some of it anyway. I want to have a lamb on a spit as we will have a lot of people, mostly adults. And I am having a dilema over DF's family, remember the incident at christmas?? Well I have had no contact with them since and would love to keep it that way but I feel that I should do the right thing and invite them of course, for DF's sake and I suppose Olivers. Have no idea if they will come or not but at least I know I have put the offer out there and that's all I can do. Geez ramble ramble!!!!
Anyhow, that's enough of that!
Raels and Oliver. xo
