Hi all,

Yeah Fran, Congrats on the birth of Alessia, I can't wait to hear more

It is a little sad that the july belly buddies has been closed. It's kind of right up there with realising that there is nothing in your belly anymore lol. I keep having to remind my self I have a real little person in the next room asleep.

Nicki, yeah I think she had a hyphenated name. Maybe that's why we both got such great cuddle time if we both had her. She said she had 2 boys herself, lol though she told me to hold her hand at one point I hope I didn't hurt her.

Mel, I heard the same thing about alcohol. Apparently you need to express enough in advance to feed after you have drunk, and continue to express afterwards and chuck it. That was from our baby classes, 'cause the midwife had accidentally feed one of her children after drinking once, and her bubs ended up drunk. She was horrified with herself, but tells all the classes about her experience because it is so important.

Tracey, I'm glad you have said that you know there is an end in sight to this crazy time, You are giving me hope. I've been lucky enough to have DH here for 2 weeks, and then my mum is taking 2 weeks off too, so I will get 4 weeks of help with the crazy's. Hopefully he will start to settle down by then.

I agree with Sara, any of you with one child already let alone 2, 3 or 4, all legends, I bow down towards you!! You are amazing!!

It's great to hear how everyone is going.

Xavier isn't too bad, although he is snotting milk all over me and him everytime he feeds. He is also having trouble keeping it down now, but I don't think it's wind. He keeps having really mucousy/milky sneezes. So the Dom nurse told me to keep an eye in the colour of the sneezes and his temp etc incase he is getting a cold. It also means he is a little more restless. At least he still sleeps, even if it is on my knee on the couch while my head flopps back and I sleep sitting up.
Well on the bonus side the milk is going through his sinuses and cleaning them out
