Hi all

I havent posted for a while as we have been sick (again) but I have been trying to keep up with all that has been going on. I am madly packing for our trip to Sydney this weekend so I will do a proper post when we get back.

We are taking Charlotte and Oliver and Jesse is staying home with my mum and dad. I feel a bit guilty leaving Jesse home but he will have more fun with his nanna and poppa than having us drag him around Sydney.

Does anyone know what you should do with a baby and flying. Meaning should I feed her when we take off and land so she is swallowing to clear her ears?

Take care everyone and love to you all and your beautiful babes

Exactly Jem. Just feed her during take off and landing and she'll be fine. Hope you have a lovely trip. Did you end up buying anything to wear? We have a wedding this weekend too. Well it's a surprise wedding, although we all know. It's in Stanthorpe, I haven't been back there since my Nanny Died almost 7 years ago. I'm looking forward to it though.
Have a great time in Sydney, hope you get a chance to do some retail therapy.

Hi everyone

Nay - welcome to this thread. Hope you and your boy are well. What's his name?

Veronica - bummer about getting AF. I am hoping mine stays away for a while longer yet (fingers crossed). I so understand what you mean about being scared to use anything other than a pad. I feel the same way.

Sara - that is so cool about your brother talking to Kaetlyn on the phone.Does she like it? I occassionally talk to Diana when I am at work, but I am never sure of her reaction as I am on the other end...

Jan - LOL re remembering who the adult in the relationship is. It is so hard to remember sometimes, isn't it?

Jemima - hope you're feeling better and that your trip to Sydney goes well. Where abouts are you going to be staying? Yes, I think that you are supposed to give a baby a breast/bottle/dummy so that they can suck on take-off and landing.

Rebecca and Mel - wow your boys are getting big, aren't they? Diana has just started wearing 000 recently. I am slowly putting her 0000 clothes away as they are all getting too short. She is 60cm long now and weighs 5.4kg. When she was born she was on the 3rd percentile weightwise and on the 25th in length (my supermodel girl) and now she is around the 50th for both, so she has caught up really well, I think.

I am having a bit of trouble typing this evening. Diana dribbled on the keyboard a few days ago. I took the spacebar key off to clean it and haven't been able to put it back on properly. It is kind of floppy, and unless I hit it in the middle it doesn't work...

Diana did a wee like a big girl today. She was kind of wriggly and sooky, so I checked her nappy. It was dry. I put her on the potty and she did a wee. I was then able to put the same nappy back on her. I am so stoked.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you're all having a good night.

Hi all,

Was meant to post on Tuesday to say that Olivia did a poo LOL but she hasn't done another since It was a lovely one too hehehe

Mel - oh that is so cute with the giggles, I am hanging for LIvvie to do them!!!

V - How is the feeding going? Olivia is bottlefed (both F and B/M) and she is so fussy, each time you take the bottle away from her she screams. I know its different to what you are going through though and hope it all gets better for you soon

Jem - hope you are feeling better! I have heard that when flying with a baby they are to be having a bottle so swallowing is good for their ears to pop IYKWIM?

Olivia is still in some 000 but I put her in mostly 00 pants as I find the 000 are too tight for her porky tummy!! LOL
She is doing well though, but doesn't sleep well after her morning nap (she gets up around 12) but she sleeps through the night so I can't complain about her awake day patterns.

Well I had the dreaded pap smear and it was AWFUL. I also had to get this U shaped silver thing up there so the Dr could check the walls of the vagina (sorry TMI) for prolapse. She said that there is a very minor muscle issue so very far up in the distance LOL. I am feeling a little better and not in constant pain when I stand so x fingers its only going to get better from here.
Well I must go, off to Mum and Dad - they leave tomorrow for overseas trip for 4 weeks.

Have a good one all
Floss xx
