Rebecca - excellent point about Anzac biscuits being good for you, as well as good fibre, the oats apparently help to lower cholesterol. Minor detail about the truckload of sugar and butter, but then butter is dairy.... sadly, as Jess pointed out, they have all been scoffed. Although it wasn't a huge batch, just a tasty one.

As usual, not much going on here. Have a snotty faced little boy, who I think is trying to cut his top right middle tooth, but then I've been thinking that for days so who knows. THis morning we're off to my nephew's christening, and as I'm a Godmother better be on time, so better get off BB - the best timewaster after Liam hehe.

Have a good day ladies.

Good morning Ladies

I have a big WOO HOO!!! Ethan has finally cut his first little tooth today!!! YAY i was so excited and got teary eyed lol! It was the bottom left tooth

Bec- Hows Xaviers sleeping going? I think i should give some stern words to ethan to say mum by mothers day too! It would be great wouldnt it.

Jan- Hehe glad you enjoyed your biscuits! How is liam today? Did you make it to the christening on time? lol Hope it was a lovely day.

Well Ethan is sleeping atm, he hasn't had any solids today he just kept spitting it out, but maybe that was because his tooth was coming through, and im just having some quiet time out, I had my first bout of morning sickness yesterday and the night before last, i was laying in bed and it felt like motion sickness!! Ah the joys of pgncy hey. I just hope it doesn't get as bad as before!

Okay BBL ladies i hope your all having a nice monday!

Sorry girls i have been so busy lately and havent had time to do a proper post...tonight is no different! We thought we had sold our house for about a month but as it turns out the buyer didnt get the finance and so we are back to square one! It is so hard to keep the house clean with a crawler on my hands!

Lucas' two top teeth are just about through, we have had a few interesting nights but cant complain too much! His bottles are still a nightmare....only drank 60ml out of the last two today so getting a bit stressed again....might call the maternal health line tomorrow and see what they say. EM..... i am glad you have had a breakthrough i might try that out tomorrow!

We have our photo shoot tomorrow so a bit excited about that!

But most of all i wanted to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to Jess and Nicky! Exciting times ahead for both of you!!!

Will try and catch up on personals this week, its just been so busy with this damn house selling stuff!

Hi ladies!

Just wanted to say hello! It has been sooooo long since I've been on BB! Sorry I've missed all your news.

Congrats Jess and Nicky!

Amelie is doing really well- standing up on her own now, but best of all she sleeps through the night!! We had to go to the sleep doctor, something I never thought I would do, but it was so worth it! For a few hours of crying, we've ended up with a great result and I'm much happier for it. When I was pregnant I never expected to have to settle for so many of the things I've done (caesarean, controlled crying, etc.) and I do have my guilty moments about it, but in the end I've come out with a happy and healthy baby, so it's all good.

Megan - I haven't been around to hear your house selling dramas, but it seems like it has been taking ages! You must be over it all, with all that cleaning and being on edge for it. Hope it works out sooner than later.

Sorry - gotta go - have run out of time for personals - apologies!!

HI

Wow its been quiet in here! I hope everyone is going ok.

Well it looks like ethan may have another 2 teeth on the way, 2nd bottom middle one and one of the top middle ones. He has been SUPER grumpy today and his poo's have been horrible, so causing some red rashyness on his bottom, poor little tyke.

I have been feeling a bit yuck all day so really didnt do much at all, and am planning on that for the rest of the night. Im not up for personals sorry. Will try tomorrow if i feel better.

Bye

Well the photo shoot was great! She showed us one of Lucas in his bonds hoodie and it was awesome! I think we will spend a fortune!

Em - i was just wondering what info you managed to find out about the importance of milk at this age when Tom was off it? It is getting ridiculous here...60ml out of a bottle is a battle! I am so over it and have run out of ideas and i dont know what to do. I know they should have a certain amount but i am just wondering the implications if they dont because regardless of what he should have he WONT have it. AAARRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Jess - Good luck with the teeth cutting! We've have the top two coming through for ages and it hasnt been fun, they are basically through now though.

Must go watch the end of House!

Megan - poor you! I really really feel for you and understand how frustrating it is. The info I found in a few books was that from 9 months they really only need around 500ml of dairy whether it be through bottle/breast or what they get through your cooking and other dairy products. At the height of T's bottle refusual, I gave him yoghurt after both lunch and dinner, added a bit of milk and cheese to his dinner, and gave him Weetbix for breekie. You how Weetbix soak up the milk as they sit there - I just kept adding milk to them as he ate and could usually get about 180-200ml into him through breakfast. Did you try adding a little bit of cow's milk to his bottle? I was felt bad about doing it but there is a little bit in the BabyLove book about using cow's milk - and from this age she doesn't seem to think it is too much of a drama. At the moment we are getting two bottles of about 150ml and a bedtime one of 210ml which is so much better than him drinking 60ml over two whole days. Sooo frustrating. Good luck!

Hi to everyone else xx
