Hi everyone

Fran - I love your photos. Alessia is gorgeous! Lol - she is nearly as big at birth as Diana is at two months! Re episiotomy - I also had one and found that although the pain went down dramatically after the first week, it took another 2-3 before I was properly comfortable. Even after that I would occassionally get a twinge if I did something such as get out of the car in a weird way. Sorry, that's probably not what you wanted to hear...

Star - congratulations on Amelie's weight gain. It's so exciting to see out bubs grow, isn't it? Diana has gone up a size in clothes last week (0000 to 000) as well as going from newborn to infant nappies.

I've had a pretty crappy week - Diana is doing really well, but the sleep deprivation seems to have really hit me. I am so tired. On Thursday evening I nearly fell asleep in my lecture. To top it all off, I lost my keys this afternoon. Diana and I went to the shops and halfway there I realised my keys weren't my my bag. I re-traced my steps about 3 times, but couldn't find them. I rang my sister to let me into my apartment (se had a spare key), hoping that I had simply locked myself out, but no, my keys are gone. I had my car key and work key on the keyring too, so am really annoyed. I hope it's not too much trouble to replace them all.

On a more positive note, I had a friend over for coffee today and she brought her two year old son with her. She was most impressed seeing Diana wee in the potty as apparently her toddler is not much interested in getting out of nappies.
