Thanks Mel...sounds great! Is there much of a demand for them?

Em - Lucas has 3 bottles, but you know i still have dramas with even three! He has one when he wakes up in morning, one about 12pm and one before bed around 6.30pm. Pretty much just breakfast, lunch and tea! Glad you are enjoying your job!

Lucas is still pretty stuffed up and snotty! He has been generally happy and there were no wake ups last night so i am sure he will be fine! He has this fascination at the moment of turning his head on its side to look at you! He's doing it to me now its hilarious his head is nearly hitting the floor! Crazy kid!!

Em - When did you return back to work and are you working full time or part time?? I am looking for a new job, as my old job is a load of crap and I get paid too little. So, I am looking and dont know what to look for!! All I know is administration, but I dont want to sit on a front desk and answer phones all day. I am thinking of personal assistant work, but dont have the experience and dont know if I want to do other people's crap all day! But really, that is what I DID do at my last job... So yeh, just looking and keeping my eye open for something that stands out to me!!

I would like to hear how Bec is handling working full time and being a mum!! What do you do with the breastfeeding - do you just express at work at the time you would normally feed?

V - I only started my job last week. It is only one day at week and every 2nd Sat at the moment, so it is a really good gradual easing back into the workforce! I will be doing more days leading up to busier times like Christmas and when other staff are on holidays etc. I am working in a bookshop and loving it so far, although I keep picking out books to buy for Tom! PA work sounds great - you do have experience - you are currently Avaleigh's PA .

Thanks Megan for your advice. I think I will try only 3 tomorrow. Tempting to do none at all - he messes around so much!! He has learnt to hold the teat in his mouth so no milk comes out. I think "oh he is drinking well", then realise its not going down! I think he has been texting Lucas on how to annoy and frustrate mummy at milk time!

I am currently creating a new resume... its kinda exciting and scarey at the same time!!

Morning!!

Its nearly 9am here and Avaleigh has just woken up for the day! Well what a sleep in! We did get up at 2am for a feed but she has never slept in this long. I better go see the little munckin - she'll be full of smiles!

[Megan76]

V- what a massive sleep in...i'm very jealous! Good luck with the resume!

Em - i agree....they are both out to get us! I can't wait till 12 months when its not as important..bring it on!! It sounds fun to work in a bookshop! You may as well try the three bottles, its one less hassle a day anyway!! How has Tom adjusted to daylight savings changes? If well, whats your secret cos Lucas was awake at 6am this morning and i am not coping!!

Have a good weekend everyone! We have my SIL and BIL staying from Tassie all weekend. Lucas was great with them this morning so i am so relieved as he can be funny with people he never sees but it was smiles and cheekiness all round....not bad for a sick little poppet!!

Hey!

Quiet in here today... everyone must be out and about, not like us!!

Jason and I had a talk this afternoon about work and where life is taking us. I have applied for a full time job, so we will see what happens there. Jason was also saying that if things still arent looking good for us in 6 months time, then we may move to Ireland. It would be a HUGE move but Jason has family over there, I think they might even be one of the richest people in Ireland and he could get some work with them and they should look after us. It has its pros and cons. Major con for me is I would be leaving my family, that is a major concern for me but if it needs to be done, it will be done. A pro would be visiting all the european towns and we would double our money when we come back to Australia. So yeh... jsut got to keep an open mind about it I guess!!

I'm freshly making Avaleigh's dinner tonight.. I hope she likes it! SHe isnt a fan of homemade stuff these days
